《Solo Max-Level Newbie》 Prologue Solo Max-Level Newbie Prologue Prologue Top of the Tower prologue 79 tries. 297 raid teams from various guilds that have been wiped out. 315,850 deaths. All these numbers point to the ''Tower of Trials'' This is the result of an unsuccessful attempt to climb to the 48th floor. [Time limit: 0h : 58m : 33s] The faded status window blinked. time was getting shorter. -Howl''s Moving Backcountry: Haha... . No more challengers. -I don''t know: Because all the large guilds gave up. To be honest, I died too many times. -My rhyme is an orange tree: The world will be destroyed in an hour. The countdown is also included in the news. s o. - I''m feeling it after all: What are you doing here on the last day? There''s a party in Hongdae right now. Don''t you send money? -Hyeonggung typeface: Haha, I''m excited about the jinta in every corner. I''ve never been able to talk to a woman in my entire life, and I''m sorry. [Current number of connected users: 87] Chat windows that once had millions of users now have fewer than 100 people left. It''s a natural thing. Due to numerous failures, various guilds have already collapsed. Even those who challenged individually have long since disappeared. Humanity will end up like this forever without conquering the next layer. It was when everyone thought so. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A blue light began to appear in this place where people had been cut off for so long. There''s only one thing this happens. [A challenger has appeared in the realm of ''Red Dragon Destia'' on the 48th floor.] Only when a new challenger comes in. A man appeared in the dungeon. I couldn''t see his face because he had used facial distortion magic. A 30 cm long dagger was held in one hand. It''s definitely a player. -Howl''s Moving Backcountry: Ooooh! -Climer123: Still, there are people who challenge you! -Hyeonggung typeface: Wow. is it real? Are you a challenger in this situation? -Front vision and back blinking: Lee Si-guk is on the field. Keyboard confiscated for 1 hour. The chat window became active due to the sudden change. How long has it been since a new challenger appeared? In the end, the viewers who remained without giving up hope burst into cheers. [Currently connected viewers: 7,588] In an instant, the news spread through the community and social media. People who were waiting for death came in just in case. Soon, all attention turned to the challenger. -The disappearance of Raw Galchi No.1: But who is it? I don''t think it''s a ranker? -My rhyme is an orange tree: I can''t see the status window because I keep all information private. -Climer123: Surely it was the last time, wasn''t it because a newbee went in? -Decedent identification center: ?ch. Shut up and look at that dagger. -My Lime Bitch Orange Tree: Looks good for picking coconuts. What do you mean by looking at the items you used when you were a beginner? -Identification Center: Look at the colors! color! At the words of one viewer, everyone''s eyes turned to the dagger. A sword dyed black like obsidian. And the tip of the handle... . It''s ''purple''. Red, green, green, blue, nambo. 7 colors. It is the highest grade among them, and the highest level relic that no one has ever been able to obtain. Thump! Thump! Thump! The hearts of those who watched were beating wildly. come. Fossils that have rotted over and over again! "Creep..." As the intruder appeared, the Red Dragon in the nest roared low. Huge body up to 30 m. Just by facing each other, fluffy hairs came up all over his body. "You humans don''t know about giving up. Did you come back after losing so many?" Destia looked down at the intruder. it''s arrogant eyes As if all living things were under him. Of course, that arrogance was supported by the evidence of overwhelming force. However. "I have some preparations to make to make grilled lizards. But I''m here on time." The man calmly accepted the gaze. In response to the cheeky answer, Destia''s forehead wrinkled. "Do you not know that human beings can die much more painfully even if they die the same?" "Well. If you can, do it. Don''t just say it." "Okay. It doesn''t mean anything like talking to a microcosm anyway." Destia drew the air with her claws. "...!" Then the man''s body trembled. A high-ranking bondage magic had been activated. "It''s a silly ending." The raised front paws were directed over the man''s head. The body was swallowed by the shadows. And at that very moment. The front foot fell down. Aww! The ground cracked and cracked. Fragments of rock were scattered in all directions and bounced off. By the way. "Hmm?" Of course, there was no feeling that should have been felt. The feeling of breaking bones and crushing flesh. "It''s a meat attack after bondage... Isn''t that a pretty obvious pattern?" It was then that a man''s voice was heard behind Destia. does not make sense. "Before the skill was activated was it destroyed?" in that brief moment? "Well, you know what you''re trying to do just by looking at your hand gestures." "Don''t bullshit!" Destia got up completely. His head soared as if it was touching the ceiling of the cave. "There will be no more coincidences." Flames began to burn from the wide open mouth. kukukuku! All the moisture in the atmosphere dried up. The strongest power to turn the enemy into ashes. Authority that only Dragon has. "After all, is it Breath?" the man muttered The reason the raid has failed so far is because they couldn''t stop that stream of fire. Kukuku! A flame that burns more and more fiercely. After a while, if mana condensing to the limit is released... . The human body will not leave even a corpse. "There is nowhere to escape." Because this whole dungeon was under the realm of Breath. And of course. "There is no reason to avoid it." I didn''t come here to run away. I didn''t even come here to die. came to win To survive and go to the next floor. And to see the end of this world. [Read ''Memories of the World''] Brilliant mists poured down behind the man''s back. An infinite library of all skills. A great library that contains the truth of the world. This is the ability of men. "I''ll bring you ''Hellfire'' and ''Black Tears''." with short words. Whoops! A fireball about 1m in diameter appeared on his left hand. Again! Again! Black liquid dripped from the tip of the dagger he was holding in his right hand. -Howl''s Moving Backcountry Castle: Hellfire, right? European ranker, Maria''s exclusive patent! -Identification Station: Liquid dripping from the sword. That''s the skill that the 15th floor ''Wailing Witch'' had. -Climer123: Oh my god... . Was there a player with copy skill? -Hyeonggung typeface: Then what are you doing? S-class skill You have to shoot for a hundred days to not even get the seeds? -Front vision and rear flashing: Just in case. After all, after all. - Military High School Girl: Oh, my precious time. Viewers who were connected to the channel quickly left. yea that''s the way it is Hellfire or the witch''s curse. Nothing beats Dragon''s Breath. It was a proven fact after countless challenges and failures. "Foolish human being. Did you just believe in that skill and shout out loud?" Destia clicked her tongue. Yes. It wouldn''t be too hard at this level. so. just make it ''The skill that was manifested in the left hand.'' Destroying Breath... . ''Fuse the skill that was manifested in the right hand.'' A skill that is even higher than the Dragon scale! A man dropped black water droplets on Hellfire. That moment. [Skill ''Hellfire (S)'' and skill ''Black Tears (S)'' are fused.] Two disparate skills merged into one, and a dark red spark occurred. [Fusion successful!] [You have obtained ''The Void Dragon, Etherion''s Breath (SSS)''!] KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Black flame, which is different from Red Dragon''s Breath, burned. quality of mana. The flame temperature is also different. "That, that!" An earthquake occurred in Destia''s eyes. there''s no way you don''t know How could you not know? Etherion, one of the ancient species. And the strongest breath that Ancient Dragon used. "Yeah... bastard! How could someone like that have that ability...!" Destia stuttered. Fear beyond curiosity. So I had no choice but to ask. "Hey, who the hell are you! You guys!" At Destia''s question, the man slowly opened his mouth. "Kang Jinhyuk." I''m a dead person Worn and worn out and eventually worn out. "And this isn''t the first time I''ve killed you." At the same time, I am the only player to have climbed the top of this tower. Solo Max-Level Newbie Previous | ToC | Next CH 1 top of the tower Mangem. Often it''s not fun or the balance between the characters is broken. Or it means a game where the operation is shit. However, there is another case. Just if you have an absurd difficulty. virtual reality game [The Tower of Trials was exactly that.] A year after its release, Korean veterans whose hobby is playing tricks on the creators have clashed to conquer the game. Giving up eating and sleeping, 365 days a year. However, by the time three years have passed. people realized The fact is that this game is impossible to clear. Not exaggerating, really. For example? The Gate Guardian who protects the 10th floor is invincible. invincibility. It means that there is no use in defeating 100 people by shooting skills and beating them with all kinds of weapons. No, as a human being, shouldn''t it be sweetened at least by one? Besides, the 7th floor was a polar region with a temperature of minus 60 degrees, freezing to death in an hour. On the 8th floor, a labyrinth of more than 10,000 km was waiting. This was not for fun, it was for torture. Or it''s an Excellent grade to fuck up the dead in Korea. Because of that, the game crashed. Exactly ''almost'' ruined Still, there were very few dead who challenged this damn Hell difficulty. And among them . Korean youth. Jinhyuk Kang was also included. [You have conquered the 50th floor!] [Congratulations! You have cleared the Tower of Trials for the first time!] Actually...is this mad? The 50th floor of the Tower of Trials. Jinhyuk let out a sigh filled with all kinds of emotions. It was just fun. Unlike others, you attack the tower in a novel way. The sense of accomplishment you get after repeating enough to memorize everything. But, I think I''ll clear the last floor in the end. When I was 17, when I first encountered virtual reality games, until I was 27 when I became an adult. Wow, 11 years passed by like a lantern. ''haha. Did you mean to kill the broadcast?'' Although it is a BJ with 20 to 30 viewers, BJ is a BJ anyway. However, Jinhyuk shook his head immediately. Seriously, if I turned on the broadcast, no one would have seen it. Because even the fixed viewers left after seeing the same thing over and over for three months. Now, even if you drag aggro under the titles of ''Boss Attack'' or ''50th Floor'', no one saw you playing Tower of Trials. ''Still, if you upload it to View Tube, won''t it get quite a few views?'' If the results were edited within 10 minutes, it seemed to come out quite nicely. That was then. T-tiring! [Thank you very much for playing our game so far.] [The reboot update will be done after 12 hours, so please use it a lot.] It was an administrator-only message. I thought I had given up because I didn''t communicate or manage for 11 years. ''It''s surprising. Besides, it''s a reboot update. Did you find any oil fields in the desert?'' I didn''t understand it intuitively. There would be no profitability in this game at all... . '' done. Something, he must have an idea.'' It has nothing to do with me anyway. Because I had no intention of playing this game any more, whether it was a reboot update or anything. Besides, broadcasting, which I had been doing as a profession, was also going to end today. Even though I don''t have any family to support, I''m now 27 years old. Because I couldn''t live on 500,000 won a month until when. ''I have to tell the director that I should take a break from exercising for a while.'' I was once told that I should aim for a martial arts pro, but now money is more important than exercise. -jjy77: Jinha! Jinha! Jinhyuk means Hi! - Eagle Owl: Oh, what''s wrong? Did you wake up early today? When the broadcast was turned on, 20 fixed viewers immediately came in. Chicken and pizza, cream prawns and sheep skin, and two bottles of beer and soju were prepared on the desk. -I''ve been on a diet for 25 years: Wow, look at the broken upper leg. -Mukbang is Ziyang: As expected, hyung is perfect for eating shows. I''m not sure about the game. -Jinhyuk must roll, what do you mean when you say BJ Jinhyuk? -Gwanjjaksong: Eat cows and eat stalls! -Bangguseoksu: Eat by tapping the stone bridge! - 2 chickens per person: I was surprised to eat it, so eat the lid of the pot too! Still, thanks to a small number of viewers, the broadcast was able to continue. As we laughed and chatted together and ate soju and various snacks, dawn was approaching. ''I''ll have to tell you about the folding tomorrow through a notice.'' Right now, my mouth didn''t come out. Yes. Talking is tomorrow. However . Even Jinhyuk himself didn''t know. When you open your eyes, you know that the world has already changed. CH 2 prelude Throb! A hangover came along with a terrible headache. Ugh... Jinhyuk squeezed his temples and got up from the bed. With a burning thirst, I drank 1L of ice water stored in the refrigerator. As the cold water gulps down my throat, I wake up little by little. ha. I''ll live for a while now. Haejang Ramen is very spicy, but there is something to be done first. ''First of all, I have to edit and upload the first video I cleared yesterday before it gets stolen by anyone.'' I haven''t seen the shadows of other players since around the 20th floor, so it won''t happen... . Because I didn''t know it was a human thing. uuung! Jinhyuk quickly turned on the computer. And I tried to find music that suited me when I was working on Viewtube. By the way. uh? A view tuber of a frequently watched channel was broadcasting live. ''The Tower of Trials is real. With the title ''It''s ???.'' Title aggression was common in this industry, except when there were over 300,000 viewers watching the live broadcast. there is something Jinhyuk moved the mouse cursor. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart was beating uncontrollably fast. I don''t know why. The moment I just clicked on it, everything seemed to change. Click! entered the show. -Wow! HyungNims. that! that! do you see Everyone is watching, right? On the screen, a view tuber bursting with exclamation... . A huge tower was visible. It really is. A huge tower appeared in the middle of Seoul. too familiar. -Melon flavored watermelon HyungNim reported it, so I thought it was released 11 years ago. [It''s from a game called Tower of Trials. Can you believe it? uh? Wait.] The view tuber suddenly lifted his head as if he felt something. Just then. The screen in the video started to turn red. It wasn''t sunset. The sun never set at 10 am. ''Unbelievable .'' Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva. I know what this is. [The omen that appeared when I first played Tower of Trials.] [[''Tower of Trials''] The first update of the reboot version has been completed.] The boundaries between reality and virtual have blurred. Even in front of the view tuber on the screen. And in reality, the blue status window flickered in front of his eyes. It started. [All players must conquer the next floor of the tower within 90 days.] The world we all knew is falling apart... . [If you fail, humanity will perish.] like that. The game has become a reality. His mind was confused like a computer with less loading, but Jinhyuk quickly made up his mind. Whew. Whoo. Whoo. I cleared my breath. The head should be cooled. really [If the Tower of Trials has become a reality, now is not the time to be hesitating here.] ''You must hurry.'' Jinhyuk got up from his chair. The chair rattled and fell. But there was no time to get it back up again. have to go outside. To be precise, to a place where you can get ''that item''. Jinhyuk came out of the front door and sprinted straight down the road. I was out of breath as I crossed the road and climbed the stairs. But why? The excitement and anticipation didn''t make me feel the slightest bit of difficulty. rather . A life I endured for just one day. My heart warmed to the fact that I could get out of that treadmill. How many minutes did you run? When we arrived, Central City was already crowded with people. Boo, what time is the fastest to go to Busan? Damn. I''m from Busan and Nabal, so I can''t stay in Korea. Foreign. Yeah. I have to go abroad to live. Now, all those damn towers appear in foreign countries, what foreign country is that? Then where are you going? No matter what happens, as long as it''s not in Seoul. Don''t you know if you watch the movie? If you stay stupid for nothing, you''ll die! Most of them were people trying to escape from Seoul. ''You must be anxious.'' Because it was the natural instinct of all living things to fear the unknown. However, in crisis there is opportunity. Now is not the time to run, but the time to move forward. ''In the Korean server, this is [Area outside the tower] One of them was chosen.'' If you add up the whole country, there are about thirty. The reason I chose this place among them was because it was the closest. Jinhyuk, who was looking down at the basement, immediately went down the escalator. [Enter the event area.] The underground mall was quiet. Suddenly, a tower appeared, the sky was dyed red, and the destruction of mankind was said, but no one was doing business comfortably. There were even fewer customers who were eating hamburgers. sure. " " " " Not everyone is like that. also . Jinhyuk narrowed his eyes. Dozens of people were scattered around the fountain. I know without even asking. the people here [Tower of Trials] These are the ones who played the first part. In the silence without any conversation, they looked at each other. yea that''s the way it is Items that will appear here soon are in limited quantities. If you''re lucky, you''ll probably have 5 or so. On the other hand, the number of people exceeded 20. Supply is low but demand is high. It means that someone can''t get the item. That was then. "You are you Jinhyuk Kang?" A young man''s voice was heard behind Jinhyuk. ''It''s a voice I''ve heard before... ?'' When Jinhyuk turned his head, he saw a 180cm tall man with his hair dyed yellow. Jongsoo Lee. Seeing this child here. Haha, that''s right. Jinhyuk Kang! Hey. You''re here too. In fact, you''ve been holding on to the computer all day in the corner of your room. Jongsu Lee approached me with a grin. Paprika TV partner BJ. He has 500,000 subscribers on Viewtube and has a significant number of Instagram followers. The so-called ''good job'' is a popular ''At the same time, I was also the representative of the company I belonged to.'' Isn''t it right now when it''s in full swing? Jinhyuk opened his mouth. Ah. The situation is like this now, what kind of show is it? Jongsoo Lee shrugged. What''s the situation now? Don''t pretend you don''t know. I know you''ve worked really hard on this game. Tell me more than that. What floor did you go up to? Don''t hide it from fellow industry associates, let''s suck some honey together. colleague? colleague Called? Jinhyuk felt a shock as if he had been hit in the head with a hammer. I still remember what this trash said. ''The company he founded deceived the BJs with an unfair contract.'' They said they would provide editor salaries and various content fees, but they were all lies. In addition, 60% of the total revenue was ripped off, so the harder the broadcast, the more a loss occurred. I protested, but to no avail. Because he was carrying the most famous law firm in Korea on his back. If you are upset, do it legally. The contract was written with mutual consent. In the end, the BJs who acted like slaves ended the broadcast crying. close colleagues. Friends from the bottom up. One by one, they left the industry. You''re good at games. I know you''re good at mukbang. I''ll make the contract terms a little bit better, huh? Jongsoo Lee placed his hand on Jinhyuk''s shoulder. disgusting Not even a single word from this guy. " Lee Jong-soo." Hey, hey. Even if it''s private, call me the CEO. Ttt. Oh. right. CEO it was I have realized something in my life so far. The bad guys continue to do well and live well. In addition. In order not to be attacked by them, you have to become more vicious and cruel. Those are the two. If you''re a representative, act like a representative. That''s how you call him representative. what? Lee Jong-soo''s complexion changed. or not. Jinhyuk continued to speak. Don''t you remember? You handed a business card to a female BJ, and you were kicking and crying and screaming and arguing, didn''t you? It''s a pity that I''m the only one who''s seen it. I should have left a video. "Is that all? He said he would never give up, so he found the address of that woman''s BJ''s house and stalked him. Then he was reported and went to the police station. Ha, a real bastard. If it were me, he bit his tongue and died. He died." You, you! Mi, are you crazy? You can bury them so they can''t be broadcast forever! Lee Jong-soo grabbed Jin-hyuk by the neck. I''m sorry, but I hit the broadcast since yesterday. And. Don''t be rude, bastard. I''m older than you. kwaang! Jinhyuk''s head poked into Lee Jongsoo''s face. Aww! Lee Jong-soo''s head tilted back. Broken teeth and blood splattered on the floor. ''It''s cool inside.'' It felt like a tooth I had been sick with for 10 years was missing. Ugh... Jinhyuk grabbed his face and looked at Lee Jongsoo, who was suffering. But it was only for a short time. ''The time has come to slowly appear.'' The very moment I thought so. kukukuku! Violent drops of water rose from the fountain. I wondered if the calm water would shake. Whoops! A 4 m tall tree rose. ''You have finally appeared.'' Oooh! It''s a mangrove! Yeah, my memory was right! The people who were waiting also screamed. [The ''Mangrove Tree of Greed'' grows.] [You can consume 1 fruit per person.] One of the skills you can get before entering the Tower of Trials. Jinhyuk looked at the colorful fruits hanging from the mangrove tree. Those fruits that were ripe enough to eat had the effect of raising strength, agility, stamina, and mana stats, respectively. It is a good item. That is an undeniable fact. the problem is. that number ''All in all, it''s 4 pills... .'' There were 24 people waiting, so the competition ratio was 5:1. Jinhyuk wet his lower lip with his tongue. ''It must be quite intense.'' The advantage of being able to raise stats in the early stages was a factor that could never be compromised. My, mine! Don''t be funny. I''m first! Ahhhhhhh! Everyone flew away to eat the fruit. somehow. no matter what number you use. You have to get it before everyone else. Soon, the Central City underground shopping mall was turned into a chaos with people climbing and pushing trees. Rain, damn it! That''s why the fruit is wrong. It''s late! Lee Jong-soo took a deep breath. As he said, it was too late to come and go to the fountain now. rain! All right, all right! Someone had already picked the first fruit and put it in their mouth. Sooner or later, the rest of the fruit will go into someone''s mouth. "It would have been a win-win if we had shared the fruit in half with me!" Jong-su Lee kept yelling, but Jin-hyuk did not respond. There was no need to respond. In the first place, this wasn''t the four types of fruits they were aiming for. ''yet. It''s not time yet.'' Ordinary people would not even know that there was a tree fruit. Those who have played the game a few times will focus on eating the fruit. And the deceased . Rather than that, he enjoys a more perverted and sadistic process. The reason is simple. Because there is a bigger reward waiting for that side. Finally, all the fruit on the tree disappeared. right then hey hey hey! The tree howled. Since all the fruits have been taken away, the body full of anger is about to start running rampant. No, that''s right. If you eat all the fruit, it becomes terribly dangerous. Damn it. I forgot I did it a long time ago. Ugh, ahhh! Jump right now! I''ve died 50 times here! People who realized the seriousness of the situation later hesitated and withdrew. You must run away now. There was no chance that a level 1 player without a weapon could win a fight against this tree. Uh... Jong-su Lee staggered and got up from his seat. Are you going to give up? Jinhyuk opened his mouth. It''s all, of course! It''s the norm to be killed in a place like this. Yeah? That''s a pity. The real reward of this event is to get it when all the fruits are eaten. Jong-soo Lee, who was turning towards the escalator, stopped. Is that word true? If it''s fake, then why am I here? " " Lee Jong-soo''s head turned quickly. I asked him why he didn''t show much interest in the fruit. Was it for that reason? Assuming there''s a bigger reward, you''re right. ''There''s no way it''s a lie because the guy who only played that game said it.'' Not knowing anything else, it certainly smelled sweet. Assuming what you said is true. So what are we going to do? You have to dig. Jinhyuk pointed his finger at the inside of the tree. If you move one by one, it''s easy to get targeted. So you have to approach it from both sides. You mean to distract your gaze. That''s it. People all went up. There are only two people left in this basement, Jinhyuk and Lee Jongsu. Keep in mind. If either of you hesitates, the worst will happen. Jinhyuk lowered his posture and slowly moved to the right. Don''t worry. I didn''t even play this game for a day or two. Jongsu Lee moved to the left. The two sat down. That moment. Now! Jinhyuk took his seat. In an instant, tree trunks stretched toward Jinhyuk. By the way. Lee Jong-soo did not move from his seat. He stood still, showing his white teeth. You bastard. Who listens to you? Go and become the bait. I''ll be aiming for treasure in the meantime. percussion! Then he started running towards the center of the tree. in the intersecting gaze. Jinhyuk thought. thank God. That personality hasn''t changed. ''I would have been sorry if I had done anything in the past, right?'' with a roar. kwaaang! Suddenly, a tree trunk that had been hiding under the fountain jumped up. CH 3 mangrove tree of greed Sa, save me. Please! Lee Jong-soo begged for his life, but Jin-hyuk snorted coldly. why me? If not, can I file a lawsuit through that handsome law firm? Come on, sleep... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! kwaduduk! kwaduk! The tree trunk crushed Jongsu Lee with great pressure. The man who did the deadly thing died. So, I didn''t feel any remorse. ''A garbage like you is helpful in times like this.'' Everyone in the middle ran upstairs. ''Now I can move slowly.'' percussion! Jinhyuk leaped towards the tree''s body. Now that most of the tree trunks are absorbing nutrients, this is an opportunity. sure. Awesome sweetheart! Not all tree trunks are playing. With the sound of the wind, two vines aimed at Jinhyuk. If caught, of course, you will look like Lee Jong-soo. After being crushed, all body fluids will be sucked away. Jinhyuk tilted his body. ''It''s not difficult to avoid.'' The tree trunks that cut through the air collided. Pop! Shattered pieces of wood. 35 degrees to the right. 22 degrees to the left. angle and direction. Again, there was no error at all from what I experienced in the game. at the perfect timing. The tree trunk, which was attacking Jinhyeok, rather penetrated into the main body of the mangrove. Jinhyuk smirked. ''Yes. Finding the exact trajectory like this and making it attack yourself is not the most difficult axis.'' Oh oh oh oh oh! The mangroves of greed let out a heavy moan. Why do you feel pain when you feel almost no pain? The bulkiness is distracting. Anyone who sees it would know how to pour oil and set fire to it. Jinhyuk grabbed a piece of wood that had fallen on the floor. Why don''t we let each other get tired and quietly pass the ''wooden''? This guy is event-oriented, so he doesn''t give any experience points. At most, one day in the ''Hall of Fame'' is the end. It would be better to get only what you want than to fight to the death or live without losing your strength. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo The mangrove roared wildly. I don''t know, but that means I don''t like it. can''t do it If it''s like this, I''ll just have to knock it down. Jinhyuk pointed the sharp part of the wood shard forward. [The mangrove tree of greed uses the skill ''Vampire Vine''!] Boo Woong! Boo-woong! Dozens of tree trunks spewed out at once. No matter how hard I am, avoiding all of that is unreasonable. But changing the trajectory little by little... . ''possible.'' not possible. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. At the same time, he moved the fragments of wood he held in his hand according to the timing of the flying trunk. Kaga Gaga! A tree trunk that had passed by brushing the ball stuck to the ground on the other side. starting with that Puppupuck! The real battle began. While holding the 30cm-long fragment in his hand in reverse. jerk. Jinhyuk walked forward one step at a time. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! As the distance got closer, the perceived speed of the attack also increased. Puppupuck! A tug-of-war where even a single mistake is not tolerated. Jinhyuk countered or countered all attacks. ''rhythm must ride.'' You have to find your unique breathing and adapt to it. no need to be scared. There is no reason to be afraid. Because it has already been repeated many times. Eventually, the distance was reduced to 1 m. Now, with just one leap, he was able to dig inside. pounding! pounding! I could feel the rustling of the trees. Through the knotholes, something resembling a human heart could be seen. that''s my weakness But just then. Boo woo woo! Something flew all at once among the branches. it was a butterfly Thousands of blue-colored butterflies. The sight of them flying through the air, scattering sparkling powder, created a picturesque spectacle. Suck! Jinhyuk stopped breathing. ''Sleeping Butterfly.'' They are the ones who use the dust of the sleeping component as a defense mechanism. Since the effect appears quickly through the respiratory system, there were many cases of helplessness when dealing with it for the first time. But in other words. It also meant that if you didn''t breathe, there was no threat. Jinhyeok took a deep breath and in an instant he dug into the main body of the tree. A piece of wood rotated counterclockwise... . Whoops! It just pierced the heart of the mangrove. Kyaaaaaa! A shattering scream rang out. The branches swayed left and right. Jinhyuk gave his hands even more strength. Whoops! Whoops! After a while, the screaming stopped. The tree did not move any further. Finally defeated this guy. Whoa! Jinhyuk let out a long breath. Sweat and heavy breathing. And a heart that beats like crazy. Everything made me feel alive. haha. ''I think the repeated pattern attack and timing study will be helpful in this way.'' Suddenly, I felt grateful for everything I had done so far. That was then. [You have defeated the ''Mangrove Tree of Greed'' for the first time.] A status window with a congratulatory message appeared. Oh right. ''Come to think of it, I must have been the first in the world.'' That''s the story... . [Your achievements will be recorded in the ''Hall of Fame'' for one day from tomorrow.] [Tell me the player''s name.] Again, this follows. A system like a beggar that asks for personal information in order to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. I don''t have a name. I''ll keep everything private. Jinhyuk answered without hesitation. The fact that personal information is known is definitely a specification. If you find out that you are dead now, you will get all kinds of attention. [Name Unknown, face tessellated and voice tampered with.] Complete confidentiality is not allowed in the system. ''I guess that means compromise by hiding who I am.'' Of course, it wasn''t that there wasn''t a way to fix it later. In the early stages, it was unavoidable. ''But it''s better than it was back then.'' At the peak of his junior high school age, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame with a look with a barbarian coat and a cigar in his mouth. ''The sun is setting... It''s a bonus that he mumbled .'' I''m glad I was lucky. If it had been a game played by a lot of people, they would have been living painful days forever stuffed. ''Damn it. Let''s forget it.'' Just thinking about it, I wanted to do the duvet kick 12 more times. Do whatever you feel like. Jin-hyeok, with his tongue stuck, searched through the cracks in the blackened, dead tree. Something caught on my finger. A green pill with a size of 1 cm. [You have acquired the tree essence ''Mokdan''.] ''at Las!'' The corner of Jinhyuk''s mouth went up. If each berry increases one of strength, agility, stamina, or mana by +3. ''Mokdan'' gives a total of 12 bonus stats. Considering that 3 points are given per level, it means that the level has risen by a whopping 4 levels. ''Crazy.'' To be honest, there has never been a better value for money than this one. Even if you look at the entire 50th floor. gulp! Jinhyuk poured the wood stalks in the palm of his hand into his mouth. Then I felt a warm energy rising from my stomach. ''Where, shall we check if it has been properly absorbed?'' Jinhyuk activated the status window. Name: Kang Jin-hyuk Gender: Male Age: 27 Level: 1 Strength 5 Dexterity 6 Stamina 7 mana 5 Owned Stat Points: 12 Occupation: None. Unique Ability: None skill: none level is 1. But the stat he has is 12. ''This is the strongest level 1.'' There was no other way to express it. Has it been about an hour? [Tower of Trials] A message was posted in the ''Hall of Fame'' stating that the ''Mangrove Tree of Greed'' had been slain for the first time. Related videos will be updated in 10 minutes. The Korean server community bulletin board, which had been without people for a long time, was already crowded with many people. -4 daughters!: Whew. Has anyone knocked it down? -Red Tomah PC Room: It''s absurd. That tree, was it possible to kill it in the beginning? In the past, when I played this game with a clenched fist, I died about 100 times and gave up. -Babamba: How the hell did you kill that thing? -In succession to the throne: I guess I told you to die alone for 11 years, a game that everyone else had finished within a year. -Rabbit Gongdue: It must have been luck. The older brother is Hanan among the deceased, but in a normal way, absolutely! NEVER! I can''t catch it even if I die -fekk91: Exactly! -Lovepack7: 222222 -Heisenberg: 333333 Comments flooded. Except for a few comments at the beginning, most of the reactions were absurd. Either I was lucky or I took a shortcut. I think it will be one of the two. But after a while. [The video has been updated.] As soon as the video was uploaded, the dubious reaction disappeared in an instant. I had no choice but to do so. Because I saw the whole process with my own two eyes. -kdc123: Wow... . -Heisenberg: Heh heh. -fekk91: I really have nothing to say. -Heir to the throne: Honestly, isn''t that enough? Is that a human movement? -Babamba: Let''s see how the wooden fragments are used to traverse. Captain America was on a business trip to Korea. -Rabbit Gongdue: I can only get admiration. crazy Crazy. I also filmed up to the 7th floor, but looking at that, it looks like it should be crouched down. Even if you die and wake up 100 times, you won''t be able to follow the toes of that stagnant person? There were a few highs and lows, but the reaction of those who saw the video was the same. -Kingsman: My name is Hosik Park, director of Ohsung Semiconductor. 1 billion as a contract. And we can pay you 100 million won every month. -Jaedragon: I''ll give you any money, so if you see this comment, please contact me. -If the blank sheet is right: I''m gathering a team right now... . Even the comments begging to be together were not boring. Jinhyuk savored reading articles in the community. ''Is it that great?'' Of course, it''s not easy to catch the Mangrove of Greed at level 1. Well, emotionally... . ''It''s not that surprising.'' Oh! but. Others haven''t played mid-to-late tower, so maybe that''s the case. Because I keep forgetting that I shouldn''t think by my standards. Jinhyuk smiled bitterly. ''By the way, 1 billion... .'' Seeing the unrealistic amount, the past came to mind. It was a life that was difficult to put into words. Even the rent was often delayed. There were times when I starved for days to prepare food for the mukbang. If I had offered this money just the day before, I would have accepted the offer without a second thought. but now. give me a billion give you 100 billion I have no intention of sharing what I know. ''Money is not important.'' Yes. That''s not what''s important right now. Jinhyuk searched for ''National Museum of Korea'' on his mobile phone. A large museum located in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. At the time of playing the game, in the aftermath of the appearance of the Tower of Trials, the overflowing mana had spread all over Seoul. Most were not affected much, but there was one major change. The relics that were just outside the tower were turned into holy relics. Of course it''s not real. Because the relics with mythical powers were inside the tower. What I''m talking about now is a replica. In other words, it is a duplicate version. ''This is where you can get the most replicas.'' A place where many relics are stored. The National Museum of Korea was like a treasure trove of sorts. the problem is. The point is that they are not the only ones aiming for this. Unlike the mangrove trees that appeared in seven places in Seoul alone, there was only one National Museum of Korea. Surely there will be people from all over the place looking for relics. And, of course, there will be dead people among them. I''ll have to get ready soon. Jinhyuk shoved his phone into his pocket. What moves is the night when all the spectators disappeared. Jinhyuk stopped by E-Mart located at Yongsan Station. Because there were items to shop for before the sun went down. ''Let''s see I got Korean paper to use as paper.'' About 5 30cm-long transients were placed in the cart. ''Is this enough?'' It was a bit disappointing that it could be used as a weapon, but it would be the same for others anyway. At best, a cleaver or hammer would be all that could be saved. Jinhyuk pushed the cart and headed to the checkout counter. At the same time, breaking news about the tower in the ordeal was coming out on the TV on display. - The government is now actively investigating the situation... . -The president convened all ministers, including the Minister of Defense, this afternoon... . - Experts in each field gather... . However, trying to come up with a one-hundred-day countermeasure was useless. If you substitute logic and reason for the supernatural, you won''t get anything. Jinhyuk looked out the window. I could see the sun setting over the mountains. the day is over The night was coming. CH 4 National Museum of Korea (1) Scratch! Jinhyuk lightly stroked the tip of his finger. Immediately, drops of blood flowed down the spine. If it was a day ago, this would be ''red liquid flowing through the body'' It couldn''t have meant more than that. But now it''s different. Because the blood infused with mana was the medium that made various Shamanisms and magic a reality. ''It''s been a while since I''ve done a barrier that distorts space.'' It wasn''t an official barrier that could be used in the tower, but it wasn''t that easy to activate. Jinhyuk put his finger on the hanji paper. Whoops! dtrqu?o. Latin written in blood gave off a subtle glow. ''great. It''s done.'' Next was the eastern entrance. Jinhyeok wrote a starter word to create barriers in the four defenses of the National Museum of Korea. Let''s finish up to the last north entrance. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A transparent curtain covered the entire museum. [Barrier ''Immature Dimensional Break'' is triggered!] [View is distorted.] [Noise is reduced by 70%.] If the materials were better, the adjective ''immature'' could have been removed. The material purchased at the mart and the thin concentration of mana was the limit. ''Still, this is not bad enough.'' After distorting my vision, I even reduced the noise. At the very least, it will be possible to prevent an accident from the police coming. Jinhyuk got up from his seat and relaxed his hands and feet. ''It reminds me of the old days.'' When I first came to the museum, there was a commotion because the barrier was not even set. A nightmare came to mind of dozens of police cars, helicopters, and even a bounty event for three weeks. It is a memory that I can''t forget even if I want to forget it. ''If possible, I hope that other people will not forget those memories... .'' well. You just have to check it out for yourself to see how it really is. [You have entered the event area.] As soon as I entered the room, a thick bloody smell stung my nostrils. ''also .'' expected it The world has changed and people will change too. However. The gap between expectations and reality was more than I expected. I saw a guard lying on the floor. Seeing the blood she shed, she couldn''t possibly survive. ''There is a guest who came first.'' I wasn''t alone. Because the wounds on the corpse were caused by at least three different types of weapons. And what they''re after. It must be a relic stored in the Middle Ages Customs. To be precise, it''s after everyone who broke into this place. Daedongyeojido (|ݛ؈D). This map was compiled and published by Gosanja Kim Jeong-ho. Of course, it''s not that the intruders want to see what the eighth province of Korea looks like. The old map infused with mana contains information about the Tower of Trials, so everyone wants this map. Think about it. Where are the labyrinths and ruins? If all the items and monsters were written down, who wouldn''t covet them? Although there was only information up to the 10th floor, it was more than enough to light up my eyes. The corner of Jinhyuk''s mouth went up. Yes. Everyone will covet it. ''You wouldn''t know that the relics of real importance are hidden in the mud.'' puck! Whoops! Ududuk! Aww! You bastard bastards! Let go! This is mine. It''s mine! Screams and shouts were mixed. Outside the broken display case, relics of many years were scattered. right then Stop moving. Don''t move! A man in a black suit put a ponytail around his neck. He was a muscular man in his early 30s with sports hair. Everyone who moves from now on will die by me. Textbook threats continued. Naturally, the seeds didn''t work either. You''re fucking boring. There''s no one here to be fooled by that kind of thing. If you wiggle even one toe, I''ll break your bone. The people around them each held their own weapons. It was as if he could do anything about murder for the sake of relics. ...I. This is Yongdupa Oh Hyeong-seok. Although gangs have almost disappeared in Korea, no one does not know the name Yongdupa. But. Puhaha! It''s a gangster. A gangster. Hey, you''re scared. Was that so? If you''re a gangster, don''t you put a knife in your belly button? The sarcastic reaction did not subside. Yeah, I can''t even put it into words. Oh Hyung-seok clenched his fist. OK. That play! Cracks occurred in both arms. A unique ability that makes the body hard as rock. It was ''petrification''. Only then did the smiles disappear from the faces of those who were dying. Bur, you already got your unique ability? Damn, that''s dangerous... Everyone flinched and stepped back. It is a unique ability that can only bloom through a special skill. Of course, you can''t even scratch it with a cutlery. The atmosphere quickly shifted to one side. The map is mine. Oh Hyung-seok looked around. It''s like nailing ownership. But that was then. Heh heh. It''s hard to agree with that. An old man behind him stepped forward. Thick veins protruded from Oh Hyeong-seok''s forehead. Hey, inspiration. Did you just not see it? It''s called Min Jung-woo, not inspiration. Live with affection and friendship. Well, that''s what it means. Who is Tong Seong-myeong and Hajae? I understand the atmosphere and I''m into it. It''s possible to break that dry neck and chicken hair like a twist. This young friend has a very rough mouth. He has a knife on his tongue. Min Jung-woo clicked his tongue as if bitterly. But it was only for a short time. Instead of bitterness in the words that followed, there was a thick flesh in it. But, would it be quicker for you to break my neck, or would it be quicker for me to turn you into charcoal? Whoops! A ball of fire the size of a fist was blazing over Min Jung-woo''s palm. A unique ability to handle the element of fire. Magic? Yes. That''s magic. An earthquake occurred in Oh Hyung-seok''s pupil. But, there is no escape. The fireball that left Min Jung-woo''s hand quickly engulfed Oh Hyeong-seok''s whole body. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Aaaaaaah! Oh Hyung-seok twisted his whole body. Sa, save me! Please save me! It was said that both arms were covered with rocks. Because the rest is made up of soft flesh and blood. The petrification didn''t help. Turn it off... The scream didn''t last very long. Only a lump of black charcoal was left behind with a smoky smoke. Hey. Flame-based magic is really hot, but it''s hot. It''s good to hold hands as well. The short-haired woman next to Min Jung-woo blew a small whistle. Lee Yuri-san. Then, I''ll ask for your back. Don''t worry. If there''s anyone who gets in the way, I''ll take care of everything. Yuri placed the black stone statue she was holding in her hand on the floor. kukuku bang! The stone statue began to grow bigger and bigger. A figure with the head of a jackal and a human body. It was the ''incarnation of Anubis'' in the special Egyptian exhibition hall. Kurre... The incarnation of Anubis stretched out a long spear forward. From now on, anyone who moves will be considered an enemy. You know? I''m going to make you chew it from the head first. Yuri smiled brightly. With the appearance of a monster that was over 2m tall, no one even thought of moving. Besides, there are two Awoken, not one. Wizards and Summoners. Only the tough guys. Damn. There are so many dead people. They''re all awake. I''ll give up on the map and Nabal. Take it all. Take it! I can''t lift a single finger. Because moving meant that I wanted to kill him soon. By the way. jerk. Someone crossed between the stiffened people. cackle. get card. The sound of stepping on the glass resounded very loudly. There. Broken brother. Do I look like I''m joking? Yuri''s expression turned cold. Kurre! Power entered the jackal''s legs that were on the ground. If the owner orders it, you can run away immediately. However, the man lightly ignored Yuri''s warning. Ugh. It''s a complete rip-off. Do these people not even have the basic courtesy to old art? Jinhyuk picked up a picture that had fallen on the floor. Then he brushed off the dust and glass fragments with his hands. I''m glad it didn''t break though. If the damage had been severe, it would not have been usable. Fortunately, that wasn''t the case. If you move... it will kill you. Can''t you hear it! It was at that time that Yuri Yuri shouted. At the same time. Boo woo woo! The incarnation of Anubis leaned back and threw a spear. It is a javelin (Ͷ). A terrifying blast piercing the wind rang out. A straight trajectory, not a parabola. So, the speed felt several times faster. But just before the spear pierced the target. kwaaang! Jinhyuk punched the side of the flying spear with his fist. The spear twirled in the air and hit the floor. crazy! Bah, what did he just do? I knocked out the spear. No, does that make sense? Not avoiding it? I threw a piece of iron made of steel... Isn''t it normal for my fists to be crushed? The people watching opened their eyes. ''I don''t know how much my stats are right now, so I have no choice but to react like that.'' Even a player who ate the mangrove tree fruit had to raise 3 stats at most. On the other hand, this one has a whopping 12 stats distributed. What are you doing? Your puppy, your only weapon is gone? Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders toward Yuri. Who''s like that...? I only had one stone statue? Yuri Lee took out 4 more stone statues from her handbag. this guy How the hell did you steal from the Egyptian pavilion? I am using the relics I borrowed from another country for temporary display as if it were mine. You''re scolded by Pharaoh. Then. Is this the time to joke around in this situation? I''m not kidding. If you really just write an Egyptian mythology relic, then you''ll get something like a curse. The kind of thing that you have to struggle terribly to solve. [The holy relic ''Anubis incarnation (replica)'' has arisen!] kukukuku! Kurre... Aww! Creung! Kung! Kung! Kung! Kung! ''Incarnation of Anubis'' Four more appeared. Armed with swords, shields, spears, hellbirds and mace, he exposed his thick teeth. How are you? Can you still laugh like this? Lee Yu-ri looked at the summoned beasts lined up left and right with equal momentum. It''s pretty good. To be honest, I was a little surprised. Considering that you can keep five of them at the same time with a small mana, it''s definitely not at that level. Same with the old man who used magic before. Surprisingly, there are many people who have left the chick tee. " you were a little surprised?" Yuri''s eyebrows twitched. Yeah, ''a little'' and ''very little'' to be exact. About between? Don''t be pretentious. We all know you''re trying to escape. You see? In fact, it''s only going to look like that. if so. just show it whether it''s a lie or not. Jinhyuk opened the paper. [Mana is injected into the relic ''Pine and Tiger (Replica)''.] [The ruler of the mountain appears!] Era: Joseon Identity: unknown All that is known is that it depicts the most feared beings of an era. Koooooooooh! A tiger appeared from the paper and roared wildly. The air rumbled. kuung! 3m tall and wriggling muscles. There was an indescribable sense of intimidation in his bright yellow eyes. "No, that''s absurd it''s okay." Yuri pursed her lips. You can''t just materialize it, but make the original flow manifest (@@). Until now, various uses for relics have been revealed, but I have never heard of such a way to use them. Besides this mana. Jittery! The concentration was so thick that it pricked the skin. It is different from a stone statue that has just been made gigantic. In that painting, the power of the spirits that ruled Taesan in the past were reproduced intact. The number is 5 to 1. ''Win is... no.'' The thought of winning didn''t even come close to my fingernails. "No such thing as a desert jackal can attack a mountain group." Jinhyuk stroked the tiger''s forehead. CH 5 National Museum of Korea (2) Tuk! Tuk! Eat it. Jinhyuk tapped Tiger on the back twice. OK. Aaaaaah! A beast with a huge size smashed the ground. The distance narrowed in an instant. Puffy! Pupperbuck! The jackals'' bodies were torn apart like a piece of paper. It is truly an overwhelming force. Kae-gaeng! ! Like ants attacking dinosaurs, the five incarnations protecting Egypt died without even the slightest resistance. Rumble! Yuri''s body trembled uncontrollably. Hey, I can''t do this. My summons are so useless... That''s absurd. Clearly, I was sure it was the strongest defeat. I thought it would be okay to get Daedongyeojido from the museum... . Why? I don''t know why. What was certain was the fact that the man in front of him was stagnant beyond imagination. You. How many floors did you climb the tower? Well. How many floors did you want to go? Wait, no. You didn''t go beyond the 20th floor, did you? " " Jinhyuk didn''t answer. The 21st floor. The 22nd floor... Or maybe it''s the 2nd or 23rd floor? The 23rd floor? Yuri continued to ask. It''s cute to go up one floor at a time. Even talking about the 20th floor is almost out of breath. How would you react if you went up to the 50th floor? ''Are you going to faint with foam in your mouth?'' I''m curious, but I''ll pass that on to the next opportunity. I don''t think it''s time to ask what floor I''ve been up to? Jinhyuk approached Yuri''s nose. Yuri trembled in surprise. Lord, do you want to kill me? I don''t have a hobby of killing frightened newbies. Giggling while doing western schools graduated a long time ago. Nu, whoever you look at is a newb! In my own way...! Yeah, yeah. Okay. Give me the ''Mask of Tutankhamun'' among the artifacts I got from the Egyptian Pavilion. At Jinhyuk''s words, Lee Yuri widened her eyes. It''s useless in Korea, where are you going to use it? You don''t know about that. If you don''t want to camp in the tiger''s boat tonight, just give it up. Jinhyuk glanced at the tiger next to him. Kurre... He had already chewed and swallowed the jackals, so there was blood on his lips. He looked afraid of coming out of his dream. Lord, you can give it to me. Give it to me! Reluctantly, Yuri pulled out the mask she had kept in her bag. Pharaoh''s mask made of gold. [[Holy Relic (Replica)] You have acquired the ''Mask of Tutankhamun''.] ''great.'' Following the first relic obtained on the first floor before coming here, I secured a second relic with this. Are you also aiming for Daedongyeojido? map? right. There was such a thing. I didn''t pay any attention to it, so I forgot about it. Information up to the 10th floor is written on it or something. Well, I''ll do that. Jinhyeok, who smiled bitterly, stroked the tiger''s back for the last time. It''s well guarded here. Don''t let anyone follow you. Ahh! The tiger guarded the entrance to the floor leading to the next floor. then. ''Let''s go see.'' Jinhyuk walked up the stairs and went upstairs. "This is really .. Surprisingly." When we went upstairs, Min Jung-woo was waiting. It looks pretty surprised. I didn''t think I could have imagined that Yuri would break through. However, it was the same with this one that surprised me. Why aren''t you going inside? The purpose must have been Daedongyeojido. I don''t understand why you''re hesitating here. I wanted to do the same, but someone put a barrier in front of it. Min Jung-woo stretched out his hand toward the air. Tuoung! hand bounced off Whether it''s a physical attack or magic, it''s useless. I''ve never seen this kind of barrier before. That''s right. It''s a one-star barrier. Hey. Do you know about this? About... Unlike the barriers installed around the museum, this is ''real''. barrier It means barrier created through skill. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. ''Yeah, you were there.'' I know a player who often uses this ability. There were too many of them in the game. Jinhyuk, who had fallen into thought for a moment, opened his mouth. I know how to destroy you. Dan. only? The inspiration must continue to use fire magic, so that the barrier can be weakened. How long? Until I go and gather all the relics I need and come back. Heh heh. So. Can I use magic outside the barrier while you''re inside? hey comprehension is fast ''good job'' I want to take pictures of Dojo too. I understand you don''t believe it, but this is the only way. The day will soon be dawning, can''t we all go out empty-handed? I went to high school, but there was no income. That would be the worst outcome. Of course, I''ll give you the map. I need more than that. " " Min Jung-woo kept his mouth shut. Which one is better to choose? Which one should I choose? I started counting hard in my head. However, no matter how much you think about it, there is only one conclusion. I have no choice but to believe It would be awkward for Min Jung-woo, but what can I do? that''s the only way Are you sure you''re handing over the map? Of course. I also don''t want to remain hostile to the unique abilities of the magic family. "I see I see. Trust me." In the end, Min Jung-woo made a decision. Please don''t rest and keep going, or I''ll be trapped inside. I''ll try my best. Jinhyuk stood in front of the barrier. And we found the weakest point of the barrier. Where the flow of mana is deviated. ''It''s here.'' carpo. Latin in blood shone. Now! Whoops! At Jinhyuk''s words, Min Jungwoo spewed out a stream of fire. A hot flame quickly heated the surface of the barrier. right at that moment. Pants! A crack began to form in the middle of the barrier. ''done.'' Jinhyuk quickly entered the barrier. Stand, hurry. Min Jung-woo broke out in a cold sweat. All right. I intend to make an effort. ''On my own terms.'' Unlike the lower floor, the exhibition hall on this floor showed no signs of tampering. no. Exactly, there was only one thing that changed. ''I''ve already finished my work and left.'' Jinhyuk looked at the empty showcase. It was a showcase where ''Iron Sword with Qianlong (Ǭ¡)'' was kept until a while ago. Whether people fight elsewhere or not. It was certain that he left after securing only what he wanted. ''Indeed, it is still not willing to take even a small risk.'' You just skip the most delicious thing, right? But even that guy probably doesn''t know. The fact that what I took from this museum now is only a second-class artifact. ''I remember being here... .'' Jinhyeok walked between the exhibition halls. Then it stopped in one place. A round, circular artifact made of rusty iron. Sangpyeong Tongbo (ƽͨ). It was created during the Joseon Dynasty and was used until the late period. Of course, it was worth more than just a currency now. ''Finally found it.'' The corner of Jinhyuk''s mouth went up. A unique ability just for you. And the last puzzle fragment needed for that. Finally everything was in my hands. That was then. Gee, what are you doing now!? Min Jung-woo, who was outside the barrier, shouted. What are you doing? Why did you stop at the wrong thing without securing Daedongyeojido right away? Wait a minute. The map doesn''t even have feet on it. I''ll fix mine first and then wrap it up nicely. Interfering with the most important times. Jinhyuk sat down in his seat. And the relics from the museum were laid out on the floor. ''Mask of Tutankhamun (B)''. What we need here is the part corresponding to the ''right eye''. Ududuk! After excavating the part with excessive eyes, it was placed in the ''Persian ceremonial mold (E)''. [Two relics react.] A short message appeared. It was a message that appeared only when the appropriate relics met. At the same time. It also meant that if you wanted to proceed further, you would have to pay a reasonable price for it. Whoops! ''Sangpyeong Notification (D)'' held by Jinhyuk in his hand 15 dropped into the mold. OK. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo An indescribable energy began to flow from the mold. [3 relics react!] [You have succeeded in fusion!] [You have acquired the relic ''Eyes of Truth (SS)''!] [Eyes of Truth] Acquisition Difficulty: SS Contents: You can view other people''s status windows. Able to determine the ''true/false'' of what the subject said (3 times a day). ''Success!'' pounding! pounding! pounding! Jinhyuk''s heart was beating like crazy. Five ''eyes'' exist in this world. Among them, ''The Eye of Truth'' was evaluated as the best eye. yea that''s the way it is Three times a day, these eyes had a special effect that could tell the truth of what others said. It is indeed a deceptive effect. However, it wasn''t just because he had acquired the ''eyes of truth'' that he was so excited. It was because he knew that a bigger reward would follow after a while. [You have successfully fused through the worst probability.] [You have achieved the performance.] [You have acquired the unique ability ''Fusion (Overrank)''!] Fuse 3 B-grade or lower replicas to make an S-grade or higher item. This was the condition for acquiring the unique ability ''fusion''. And. Among the countless relics and items, there is only one case where this combination is possible. It''s just a case of merging those three. [Unique ability ''fusion''] Acquisition Difficulty: Unmeasurable (Overrank) Description: You can save other people''s unique abilities and skills in the ''memory of the world'' by completing certain quests, and you can create high-level abilities by fusing the skills stored there. However, if the difficulty of the copied conditions increases rapidly. Some conditions may be modified. Copy and save the numerous abilities that exist in the world. The stored abilities are fused to create more powerful skills. This was the reason and purpose of coming here today. Whoa. Jinhyuk let out a breath he had been holding back. I''ve been preparing all evening to get these two, and things went smoothly. at that time. Hey! I don''t know what you did, but once it''s done, quickly... it''s hard no more! Min Jung-woo bit his teeth and shouted. Now his face was completely white. It was a side effect from mana depletion. ''where. Shall we see what we have to do to copy that old man''s abilities?'' [Copy conditions: Min Jung-woo always hides his emotions while wearing a mask. Let him reveal his true intentions.] ''In one word, make me mad, isn''t it?'' Of course, it''s easy. Especially if you are in the same situation right now. Jinhyeok took out the Daedongyeojido and walked towards Min Jungwoo. That skill. You can stop using it now. What? What does that mean? Actually, you don''t have to. Shouldn''t it be something else to weaken the barrier and continue to use attack magic? Where is that nonsense? The way they work in the first place is different. It is enough to simply write the incantation of Pahoe in Latin where the flow of mana is out of line. The person who opened this barrier was still only level 1. Well, then why did you ask me to use skill...? Why? "That way, all of your mana will be depleted." It''s because of this. I watched him sweat profusely and use magic hard. I don''t even have the strength to lift my fingers anymore. what if. Even if you burn the map in front of your eyes. Whoops! Jinhyuk used a lighter to light Daedongyeojido on fire. In an instant, the flames began to gnaw through the paper. Gee, what are you doing now! Why the hell are you burning it! Why the hell...? As I said before, I don''t need this. You already know everything about the tower. Maps mean nothing. ''by the way. I mean, it''s a waste to give it to someone else.'' With a map, someone could find out information up to the 10th floor. I was in danger of losing my advantage. If so, the surest way is to eliminate that possibility. just like right now. This, I will kill this, I will kill you! It will be very changed! Min Jung-woo has lost his temper. ''Wow. He was also the style of spitting out very thickly when he was angry.'' That is why people should not judge based on appearance alone. timely. [The condition has been met.] [Successfully copied skill ''Element of Fire (B)''!] [The copied skill is saved in ''Memory of the World''.] [Element of Fire] Acquisition Difficulty: B Description: Handles flames and increases affinity for fire. A status window appears indicating that the copy conditions have been met. ''The element of fire... .'' Not a bad start for a first copy. CH 6 National Museum of Korea (3) "You will regret it I will definitely remember this!" Min Jung-woo glared at Jin-hyuk as if to kill him, and grinded his teeth. what is it He didn''t seem to fully understand the situation yet. Who is A and who is Eul? Jinhyuk shrugged. I don''t think you understand. I don''t know why I burned the map? You don''t need information up to the 10th floor, I mean. It means that you know all the information up to the 10th floor. no way . It was then that Min Jung-woo opened his eyes wide. If you want to climb to the 10th floor safely, don''t hesitate and do what I tell you. If you say sticking to the left, sticking to the left. When you say sticking to the right, it means sticking to the right. do you know If you listen really well, will you give me a piece of rice cake? If you see that the map is also burned, it must be... You seem to have a unique ability related to ''information search''. It deserves confidence. Min Jung-woo assumed as he pleases. And he looked at Jinhyuk with a life-like look. But, why do I have to listen to you like that? I can set you on fire and then extract only the information you want? Although mana is running out now. If only mana was recovered, it was nothing more than burning up a person. It''s not wrong. torture and intimidation. It''s definitely an effective tool. If the. If you think you can win a one-on-one fight... Jinhyuk''s eyes grew cold. At the same time, red flames erupted from both hands. [Lv1 ''Element of Fire'' is activated!] Whoops! A huge flame began to burn. I, maybe that? An earthquake occurred in Min Jung-woo''s pupil. Min Jung-woo almost screamed at the unbelievable sight. "How how could you have the same powers as me " no. not the same ability. A stronger and hotter flame. no doubt At least one or two levels are high-level fire magic. It was a gap that widened because they had different understanding of the stats and skills they had. gulp. Dry saliva ran down Min Jung-woo''s neck. Even if mana was in an intact state. ''Can I win?'' Min Jung-woo, who was worried, immediately shook his head. ''It would be impossible.'' It is impossible for a small flame to swallow a larger flame. It was only now that I understood why Yuri was broken. The stone statue she had had no jaw. But only one. There was something that didn''t match. Why are you hiding it even though you have that kind of power? If you had shown your power from the beginning, you could have simply killed me. reason? Jinhyuk smirked. Then I broke through the barrier and stood in front of Min Jung-woo. Do I have to explain all of that to you? Well, that''s... "It is my job to ask questions and give orders, so you just have to follow them." Min Jung-woo, who made eye contact, trembled and averted his gaze. Answer? I know... I know. I knew it. completely curled up. Jinhyuk picked up the flame. I''ll contact you later. Until then, take the girl downstairs and work hard to level up. Even if I tried to use it, if it was too weak, it would only become a burden. ''At least until it''s useful, let it grow a little.'' Jinhyuk walked down the stairs with his back exposed. jerk. He was defenseless enough to allow himself to be attacked. " " However, Min Jung-woo did not lift a finger. no. I couldn''t. I had no choice but to do so. ''If you threaten clumsily, rather than aim for a chance to counterattack.'' That is the human psychology. When you get angry, you want to get revenge. So it has to be imprinted on the bone. To think that you should not dare to attack under any circumstances. Only then will a chess horse that can be played with complete freedom is born. It was around sunrise in the morning when Jinhyuk left the museum and returned to the neighborhood he was living in. It was a really long day. It''s like compressing several months and stuffing them in a day. Ugh! Jinhyuk stretched out. As I slowly loosened my arms and legs, I felt my aching body lighten up a bit. ''The Tower of Trials is open in the evening, so until then, let''s eat some food and close our eyes.'' Getting enough rest and eating well is just as important as being active. Above all, if I am not in good shape, it is difficult to show my strength. But, before taking a full rest... . There is something to check. Status window. Jinhyuk muttered toward the air. OK. T-tiring! Name: Kang Jin-hyuk Gender: Male Age: 27 Level: 1 Strength 8 Dexterity 8 Stamina 8 mana 11 Stat Points you have: 0 Occupation: None. Unique Ability: Fusion skill: Lv1 ''Element of Fire'', Lv1 ''Eye of Truth'' The status window has been changed. New characters were placed in the empty unique abilities and skill windows. nice . Unknowingly, exclamations came out of his mouth. It has to be because he has acquired the unique ability that is considered the most deceptive. It was just a step outside the starting line, but it was inevitable that my whole body was trembling with anticipation. ''Let''s be calm.'' Jinhyuk managed to calm his trembling heart. ''The first thing to do is to get as many unique abilities and skills as possible.'' There are more than 50,000 kinds of abilities that exist in this world. It means there is a long way to go. ''I have to set priorities and collect the most necessary abilities first.'' When I got the ''Element of Fire'' from Min Jung-woo, the conditions for copying were not very difficult. But that''s because it''s level 1. The higher the rank and the higher the level, the more difficult the conditions for copying must have become. Of course, you shouldn''t be in a hurry. If you try to get things done too quickly, things get messed up. From a historical point of view, there are a lot of cases where they went bankrupt in a hurry. Converse teacher. ''I will not repeat the mistakes they made. never.'' That''s what most of the deceased would think. In fact, the number of deceased people who appeared in the National Museum of Korea was only four, including Jinhyeok. understand it The desire to reduce risk. But, do you want to get ahead of others by acting cautiously and prudently? In the meantime, did you get a promise to keep other people sucking their fingers? The world always smiles for those who take risks. It doesn''t exist for cowards who are only looking for a safe way. Please, keep doing that. ''In the meantime, I will move forward.'' Since we have one body, we can''t monopolize all Giyeon, but... . Instead, I will eat the most delicious and important thing by myself. ''You have to share the rest of the crumbs.'' Jinhyuk smiled and closed the status window. ''By the way, now it''s slowly reaching its limit.'' Once my thoughts were organized, the desire I had been holding back surged. Knuckle! A strong vibration was felt in the ship. It was because his stomach was empty from moving all night. ''In this case, it is also soup.'' Hot and clear broth. Plenty of meat. Until the sweet and sour kkakdugi. There is nothing like this on the menu that can be safely solved for 7,000 won. It is not for nothing that the saying, ''If I can buy something else with this money, I should buy a bowl of hot soup''. ''Somewhere, at least one should have been opened... .'' found. From the signboard, it is a soup restaurant where you can feel the force that three generations must have done. Jinhyuk went straight to the 24-hour Sundae soup restaurant. Rumble! Follow-reung! The door opened, and a loud bell rang. By the way. There is something strange about the atmosphere of the restaurant. Oh my gosh... Is this real? Dozens of customers, employees, and even the boss. All eyes were drawn to the breaking news from the news. -The government is conducting an investigation into an unidentified building named ''Tower of Trials'', and a special department called ''Awakened Association'' has been newly established mainly for civil servants who have been able to use this ability. Oh. Jinhyuk also muttered with an interesting face. ''The Awakened Association... .'' The government''s response was quicker than expected. Moreover, considering that the department was composed of those who have awakened their unique abilities, it must have been decided to accept this task quite flexibly. ''This is surprising.'' I thought it would take at least a few weeks. - The government''s quick response is probably because of what happened this morning, right? -Yes. That''s right. At least 23 people were killed and more than 50 were injured at the National Museum of Korea. The death toll is expected to continue to rise as some people are seriously injured. - That''s it. Why are you doing that... . - It seems that they were targeting the relics kept in the museum. The same incident has occurred not only in Korea, but also in the United States, Europe, China, and Japan. The British Museum in England, the Louvre in France, and the Natural History Museum in the United States. ''I knew it.'' Players from other countries also moved. to get a replica. And to prepare to climb the tower. -First of all, let''s take a look at the CCTV footage inside. The screen has changed. What appeared was a scene of two men and women fighting. The woman who made the statue of Anubis gigantic was also surprising. kwaaang! Hit the flying spear with your bare hands. KwaKwaKwa Kwa! The part where the tiger was summoned in the picture was shocking itself. When the tiger tore the five stone statues apart, even the announcer seemed to be at a loss for words. I had no choice but to do so. Because everything was far beyond common sense. - It''s hard to believe, but it''s a reality without exaggeration. After a few seconds of silence, the announcer stuttered and answered. The inside of the restaurant became even more noisy. "I can''t believe it. Is that what a human can do?" Oh my God. Who are you? Most of the relatively older guests tilted their heads. On the other hand. That''s me. That''s the person who appeared in the Tower of Trials community a while ago! Ah. A video of mangrove trees being treated with wood shards? That''s right. Those reflexes, that movement! It''s that person! The younger generation recognized it at once. It''s the most popular issue in all portal sites and communities right now, so it''s inevitable. I''m really curious. What is it? "It could be the final weapon the government was secretly developing." There''s even talk of a famous BJ. speculative remarks abounded Jinhyeok, who was next to him, scratched his cheek. Hearing those words out loud made my ears tickle. right then A new person appeared on TV. He was a man in his early 40s, with a sharp impression. - This is Han Sang-jin, who is in charge of the Awakened Association. He is a man with a sword that crosses his face and cold eyes. ''It''s Han Sang-jin... .'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. Maybe it''s because he has pretty good abilities to be the president of the association. or not. Maybe it''s because I''ve been playing Tower of Trials for a long time. I wish it was the former if possible. That way, someday, when we meet, we can copy our abilities. While Jinhyuk regained his appetite, Han Sangjin continued his speech. -The reason I came here is to recruit awakened people. There will be differences depending on the grade, but we promise to treat you as a grade 7 civil servant with a minimum annual salary of 6,000. Considering the reality of Korea, which is struggling with employment difficulties, it was an unconventional treatment. It seems that they are trying to gather the Awoken in their own way, but well... . It remains to be seen how many will leave the land of opportunity to become civil servants. - Of course, the one who appeared on the show is an exception. I''ll make a suggestion under the name of the president of the association. If you join us, we will support whatever you want at the government level. Why did you make such a fuss? ''I was the purpose.'' One skilled player has a much higher value than 100 ordinary players. Sang-Jin Han also knows that, so he is trying to convince him with a blank check. However, ''He completely sees me as a hogu.'' No matter what price he paid, he had no intention of belonging anywhere. I had no intention of sharing what I knew. Jinhyuk glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. Now 12 hours left. Exactly 7pm. When the hour hand points to a new time. The Tower of Trials will be opened. CH 7 Labyrinth Livarintos (1) Jinhyuk stood in front of a huge building. A mystery that breaks down conventional common sense and laws. The gateway to the future of mankind. Tower of Trials. This is the place where all these stories will begin and end. Although the gate to enter has not been activated yet. ''A lot of people have gathered.'' There were already thousands of people around the tower. You have to go from the 1st floor ''Goblin Cave''. It''s best to settle down there and hunt. "I know. You have to level up quickly." This time, let''s make sure to climb the tower to the end. teamed up or or solo. Everyone''s eyes were red and bloodshot to get in faster than everyone else. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart was beating fast. And at that very moment. [19:00] [''Tower of Trials'' will be opened.] Towers that appeared all over the world were opened at the same time. Open! Father, get in quickly! Hurry! The people who were waiting rushed towards the gate entrance like water. Jinhyuk was also ready to move. And walked into the pouring light. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Upon entering the tower, a completely different place from Seoul unfolded. Wide meadows and blue sky. And the green forest that touches the horizon came into my eyes. This is the first floor of the Tower of Trials and the starting point where players from Korea gather. Oooh! Finally here! Exactly the same as before! People burst into cheers. He looked around with a mixture of excitement and curiosity... . what is it It was like newbies starting the game for the first time. Of course, that sentiment is fully understandable. Because it was like my heart was pounding. ''The feeling is new.'' Jinhyuk stroked the grass that had grown up to his waist with his fingertips. The fragrant smell of grass and the soft touch of the wind. to the warmth of the sun. It was a familiar yet nostalgic feeling. However. different from playing Because this was real. ''If you die... . That''ll be the end of it.'' There is no such thing as starting over again. Jinhyuk looked at the air with calm, subdued eyes. ''Now is the time to slowly appear... .'' The moment I thought so. T-tiring! [Shadow that you entered the Tower of Trials.] A blue status window appeared in front of me. ''It''s starting.'' Jinhyuk waited for what would follow. [100 coins were paid to commemorate the entrance to the tower.] [Coins are currency that can be used in the Tower.] [Players can upload videos of their achievements, and 100 coins are paid for every 10,000 views.] [However, the fee is differentiated according to the level of the player.] [Videos viewed by non-TOW residents are counted as views only for the first time. Please choose carefully before watching the video.] [The live broadcast can only be turned on when dealing with the boss monster to go to the next floor.] [We will take appropriate measures if manipulation of the number of views or other misconduct is detected.] Yes. That''s it. A connecting bridge connects those who climb the tower and those who live outside the tower. The player collects the attention of viewers with as many diverse and novel videos as possible. Viewers watch videos of players who are most likely to see the end of the tower, and increase the number of views. This system was the most interesting among the Tower of Trials settings. ''Because it meant that the more famous BJs became, the more they could monopolize the coins.'' In the future, many players will upload videos of various concepts to appeal to them. However, Jinhyuk had no intention of uploading a video for a while. ''It should be much more damaging to disclose the information I know than coins.'' Even if I use it all up later and edit and upload only the information without the sweet water, the reaction will be explosive. There was no reason to worry about broadcasting already. Similarly, live broadcasts that can be dragged around by viewers were not intended to be used except in special cases. ''Then let''s go slowly.'' Jinhyuk looked at one side of the forest. The first thing to do has already been decided. different from others. A little special way. There are three types of hunting grounds in the Tower of Trials. With dungeons, labyrinths and ruins. The dungeon is a small hunting ground composed of boss monsters and mass production type. Since it is the easiest and most widespread, most players mainly used this place. On the other hand, the labyrinth boasts a very wide size, and it often takes longer to clear than the monster''s strength. At least one month or more. Even the labyrinth on the upper floor may require more than 6 months of attack. Finally, although the ruins vary in size, they were notorious for their difficulty. This is because the top species such as dragons, giants, spirit beasts and spirit creatures are mainly in charge of bosses, and there are even tricky traps and barriers. And. Among the many options, Jinhyuk found the labyrinth ''Rivarintos'' located in the very center of the first floor. [[Name: Rivarintos] Type: Labyrinth Difficulty: B Description: A labyrinth of Crete designed by Daedalus. It is characterized by a very complex maze and various types of traps.] Considering that an ordinary goblin dungeon was an F-class, the B-class labyrinth was hell itself. A beginner who just entered the Tower of Trials enters the labyrinth? It was no different from saying that he just wanted to commit suicide. However, there were many reasons why Jinhyuk chose this place. Was it 6 years ago? When he was attacking the early 30th floor of the tower, Jinhyuk realized one thing. The fact that it is impossible to go up any further. Since then, I have been looking for a solution like crazy. He searched the lower floors to collect hidden pieces and chewed the cud one by one. However, it was all to no avail. it had to be useless. Because it was bad from the start. When I found out about the problem, I panicked. When I had to delete the account I grew up with tears in my eyes and start again from the beginning, I thought a lot about whether to quit. However, he continued to do so, and in the end, an old book was found in a ruin on the 10th floor. It is written on what to do on the first floor to clear the tower. The way to attack the ''Corridor of the Fallen'' of the 1st floor ruins is to receive approval from the owner of the ruins as they were when you first arrived at the tower. Just like when I first came. In other words, you have to go to the boss at level 1 status. The labyrinth in front of Jinhyuk right now is a training place to make it possible... say? Well . To call it a simple water lily is a bit absurd. Because there is no option of ''killing the monsters that roam this labyrinth''. ''By the way, I think I''ll do this again.'' Jinhyuk looked at the labyrinth and bit his taste buds. I''d rather die than die, and the memories of coming out spitting that I''d never come back came to mind. That''s why, while I was in the military, I thought, ''It was worth trying at least once,'' and when I woke up the next day, I felt like I was a new recruit. That was just how I felt right now. still. ''I''m not going to go in alone, so I won''t be bored.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes glanced backwards. There were people following me from the moment I first entered the Tower of Trials. He seems to think that he followed him perfectly, hiding himself behind a tree in his own way. It''s hard. Like typical newbies. ''cute.'' I had a rough idea of what those people were thinking. ''But well... . Do you want it to be like your heart?'' Five or six men and women who were following Jinhyuk from a distance clicked their tongues. I thought there was something, so I followed. It was a labyrinth, wasn''t it? Hmm. I didn''t know there was a labyrinth like this. Damn it. That''s why I said it. Goblin hunting and going crazy! Did I do that on purpose? I guess I came here to eat Hidden Piece because of the stagnant pose. Let''s stop fighting and let''s go back. There must be some vacant seats now. Several voices came and went. Most of it was a waste of time, though. at that time. Shh! Wait. Look at what that human is doing. The woman in the front put her index finger to her lips. why? Look carefully. That man is drawing characters at the entrance to the labyrinth. At the woman''s words, everyone''s eyes turned to one side. it''s real I wondered if the first text I saw was glowing blue. kukukuku! Soon the ground began to shake violently. The labyrinth is being opened. crazy! Is this real? You opened the labyrinth without a key? Their pupils dilated rapidly. You will need a key or material to enter the labyrinth. But without any of that, I will open the entrance. In a situation where common sense was completely broken, everyone was at a loss for words with their mouths wide open. Let''s go. We must go before that man disappears. It was the woman in the front who broke the silence. what? Let''s go in? I don''t know what kind it is or how big it is? Hana Park. Are you crazy now? Be quiet and think about it. A woman called Hana Park frowned as if frustrated. "Aren''t you also aware that the beginning is the most important in the Tower of Trials?" That''s it... You know. It was common knowledge that the more difficult the difficulty, the more important the early growth. especially [Especially if you have played Tower of Trials even once.] Park Hana continued. I didn''t even get the key, but the labyrinth is open. Do you think this opportunity will come again? experience, items, etc. What you can achieve is limitless. Besides, the difficulty will not be that high enough for a level 1 person to enter. This is what I believe in. A player without a single common item enters the labyrinth alone? It was proof that the difficulty of the labyrinth was not high. Well, it''s a labyrinth on the first floor... If you see that you are going alone, you must be right. Everyone nodded as if in agreement. Now, there is one last problem left. But is that guy going to share the items with ease? It is a matter of distributing the rewards obtained in the labyrinth. Of course, I''m not going to share. But it doesn''t matter. Because I had no intention of sharing it anyway. You seem to like the labyrinth quite a bit, but let me stay in the labyrinth forever. Park Hana pulled out a sharp iron needle from her arms. ''The sting of the giant courgette''. It is a poisonous item that dies within 1 minute if even 1mg is injected. Well, that''s what I was talking about... That''s right. This is the item my brother got from the National Museum of Korea yesterday. At Hana Park''s words, everyone swallowed dry saliva. It was said that there was a sea of blood... It''s amazing. You mean that you brought the item from that hell, right? Hana-oppa said he''s been playing this game for quite some time, so it must have been a dead person. Really. Park Ha-jin, Park Ha-na''s older brother [''Black Raven'' when playing Tower of Trials] It belonged to a place called a guild. As one of the well-known middle-class guilds, the members of the guilds at that time gathered together to form a force on the first floor of this place. You just have to trust me and follow me. Park Hana looked at Jinhyuk in front of the labyrinth with a fishy smile. In order to survive in a world that has changed, even murder had to be justified. It''s a natural thing. Because it was the law of nature that the strong prey on the weak. Park Hana had already made up her mind to obey the law. crumble! Six men and women appeared through the grass. ''Is it coming out now?'' It was too clumsy to hide his presence, and even yawned. Still, it would be polite to pretend not to know. Who are you? Jinhyuk made a vigilant expression on his face. My facial muscles throbbed as I tried to do something I had never done before. Ooh, that''s a chin. Oh! We''re not bad people. Park Hana, who was in front, quickly raised her hands. With a light smile on his lips as if to appeal that he had no intention of harming him. We... well. We came to this forest to find a suitable hunting ground. Then we found him by chance. You sound like a coincidence. Put some saliva on your mouth and say. What else is it that first introductions aren''t bad people? Even the empty-brained villains from the 80s wouldn''t say that. [Lv1 ''Eyes of Truth'' is activated.] [Park Hana''s words are ''false''.] Jinhyuk''s eyes had already seen the boundary between truth and lies. Nevertheless, there was only one reason why it suited this obvious play. ''Hana Park .'' The corner of Jinhyuk''s mouth went up. ''This woman. It has some pretty interesting abilities.'' A unique ability that would be worthwhile to copy. CH 8 Labyrinth Livarintos (2) Jinhyuk took a peek at Hana Park''s status window through ''Eyes of Truth''. Name: Park Hana Gender: Female Age: 22 Level: 1 Strength 4 Dexterity 5 Stamina 5 mana 10 Stat Points you have: 0 Coins held: 100 Occupation: None Unique Ability: Sympathy skill: Lv1 ''fast step'', Lv1 ''weak healing'' sympathetic ability. Even if you meet someone for the first time, you can naturally become friends with them. It is also characterized by being able to erase the sense of incongruity. It was the most necessary ability for Jinhyuk, who had to be alert and copy his abilities. Furthermore. ''Since the [It will be of great help to tame him.''] At first, I was going to use it to get rid of traps in the labyrinth while traveling together. I changed my mind. ''This is not to be missed.'' must have it on hand. Jinhyuk confirmed the copying conditions of Park Hana. [Copy Conditions: Act with Hana Park for at least 240 hours. However, when 240 hours have passed, there must be no other person besides Park Hana and you.] 240 hours. In other words, they must be together for ten days to satisfy the radiation conditions. ''I don''t need the other 5... .'' There''s no need to kill it. ''I''m not a bloodthirsty killer.'' If you don''t cross the line, just use it in moderation and go your own way. However. If you cross the line. That''s a completely different story. ''Because I was determined to survive in this world as well.'' Jinhyuk, who read the conditions carefully once again, opened his mouth. "So, why did you come to me without going to the hunting grounds?" Before I answer that question, may I ask you one thing first? ask. Now, the place you want to enter is a labyrinth, isn''t it? you''re right. also . Park Hana bit her lip as if her prediction was correct. And brought out the gist. "We want to go together." "Together you mean?" Yes. Maybe it''s better to go with a group rather than alone? There''s a saying that the more risks you share, the better. He smiled brightly as he saw his hand go to his side. It''s good, I recommend it. Now the hand went to the memorization on the waist. ''That''s it. It''s like the sting of a courgette in the museum''s insect room.'' The rest flinched and stretched their arms out. It''s fun. So. ''In the labyrinth, I''m going to give an excellent grade to myself, right?'' Jinhyuk gently stretched out his palm toward the entrance of the labyrinth. Do whatever you feel comfortable with. You want to enter the labyrinth? do whatever you want Instead, when you come in, you will not be able to leave at will. [You have entered the labyrinth ''Rivarintos''.] [The number of challengers is 7 people.] As they entered the labyrinth, the moist, sticky air stuck to their skin. this smell. this feeling. Now I felt it. The fact that he entered the tower. Jinhyuk quickly looked at the labyrinth wall. Bright lights illuminate the dark interior. There were hundreds of ''luminous moths''. Usually, it was widely known for illuminating the field of vision in underground dungeons and labyrinths, but . It is an exception here. Jinhyuk moved his five fingers at regular intervals. Fold slowly... . quickly opened again. It''s like mimicking the flap of your wings. once. twice. And third time. OK. just buy it A moth sat on Jinhyuk''s hand. The dust quickly stained my hands with a bright light. ''Yes, I''m glad too.'' A gentle smile appeared on Jinhyuk''s lips. That was then. "After that, I couldn''t even say my full name." Park Hana was talking from the side. Jinhyuk carefully placed the moth on the wall and answered. Ah. It was so crazy. All of them had to enter before the entrance to the labyrinth was completely closed. There was no time to say hello or exchange each other. But now that we''re inside, we''ve got some room to spare. My name is Hana Park. I''m 22 and I''ve been to the second floor of the Tower of Trials before. Park Hana introduced herself. Then the rest of the people raised their voices as if they were waiting. It''s Jang Cheol-sik. The Tower of Trials was folded after a while on the first floor. This is Hyemin Lee. I''ve only done up to the first floor. Rose Mina. The tower is up to the third floor... Call me Cheon Min-guk. I''ve never done anything like the Tower of Trials. This is Do Kwang-woo. This is my first time. Everyone was shouting their names out loud, but . Jinhyuk''s ears sounded a little different. Extra 1 to die in the trap! I''m running away and will be used as bait in case of an emergency! Haha. I''ll work hard every night and eat deliciously! like this Anyway, at the last minute, I''m sure I''ll hit the back of the head because I don''t want to share the reward. You don''t have to memorize each name. The corners of Jinhyuk''s mouth twisted slightly. ''It''s a raid party where they try to kill each other... .'' I don''t think there''s any time to be bored. "This is Jinhyuk Kang." "It was Jinhyuk-san . So, has Jinhyuk-san been to this labyrinth before?" As we exchanged names, Hana Park flirted even more and clinged to each other. [Hana Park activates her unique ability ''Communion ()''.] In an instant, the tickling energy made his whole body tired and tired. my mind is at ease ''This is how it works.'' If you didn''t know your abilities, you would have a friendly feeling towards the other person. good compatibility or Or someone you can trust. As is often said, ''first impression is good''. Fortunately, this is a labyrinth that I discovered before. Wow. You''re a much bigger person than I thought. It''s an honor to be with you. Park Hana slowly opened her eyes. I''m going to skin the vigilance while raising it moderately. I don''t know who you''re trying to use such a shallow number in front of. Jin-hyeok, who smiled timidly, purposely trembled in a sarcasm. I know. Probably no one knows more about this labyrinth than I do. Oh, I see. No, really. Even a player who is said to be the best in the world won''t even be able to follow my toes? There will be 12 laps of the playground in one line to hear the strategy tips. Haha. " " Park Hana made a surprised expression. It''s blunt enough. Isn''t that the only meaning of praise? Well, then, tell me what kind of monsters are in the labyrinth and what characteristics they have. Is it possible? That''s not difficult. Let''s see. what do you want First of all, this labyrinth changes location at regular intervals. Yes? What do you mean? It''s called ''change of labyrinth''. Oh, it''s about time. Jinhyuk stood tall in his seat. right at that moment. kukukuku! The entire labyrinth began to vibrate violently. As dust piled up on the ceiling poured, the floor and walls cracked. Aww! Hey, what is this? Aww! Screams erupted from everywhere. The ground rises or goes down, and huge chunks of rock move back and forth, left and right, and that''s the way it is. Blood, damage! Don''t stick together, let''s fall! Damn it. If you hit it, you''re instantly dead! Come! Right! Look right! bang! kwaaang! Rocks moving at high speed used fast and complex patterns like Tetris. Aww! Everyone frantically flew away so as not to be crushed by the rocks. My knee was scratched and blood was flowing, but I couldn''t even afford to worry about such a small wound. gurg gurg... . The vibration stopped after a few minutes. The road has completely changed from before. Fortunately, it was fortunate that the party did not disperse. Heh heh! Heh heh! My heart was pounding. "Hey, this labyrinth is on the first floor." I can''t believe it. Weren''t we all arrogant except for the ruins on the first floor? When everyone was breathing heavily with their complexion turned white. Jinhyuk slowly brushed the dust off his body. Didn''t everyone experience the labyrinth of changing terrain at least once? Well, who can experience such a thing! Park Hana shouted with a white face. "No." Jinhyuk shrugged. And once again he called the luminous moths and started collecting the dust. Humming a hum was a bonus. Park Hana felt the swear words welling up her throat at the carefree look. But I managed to persevere. Because I have more important things to do now. I need to get out of here right now. Hyemin-ah. Can you find the exit? That''s... just because the labyrinth changed, the ability activation was cancelled. Hyemin Lee shook her head with a dark face. Unique ability ''compass''. This ability marks the safest route in a dungeon or labyrinth. The reason Park Ha-na confidently entered an unfamiliar place was because she believed in this ability. However. Now that ability is useless. Because the labyrinth has been renewed. And that will change in the future. Well, you mean you can''t find a way out? "You mean trapped in this?" ''I wondered why I entered the labyrinth with confidence.'' Was the only thing you believed in your navigation ability? Jinhyuk, who was overhearing the conversation, swallowed a laugh. Guess who''s not a newbie Knowing the labyrinth is like going to the local supermarket. ''Even so, fools, now it''s time for him to appear... .'' Jinhyuk glanced at the moth dust on his hand. When body odor and dust are mixed, a special substance is secreted. with a very special scent. timely. Ku-wu. Ku-wu. A faint sound could be heard from far away. Everyone was raising their voices so I didn''t notice. Jinhyuk felt it for sure. Something roaming this labyrinth is approaching. The labyrinth is changing! Why didn''t you tell me that important thing in advance? Park Hana raised her voice. tell me a little bit Ear hurts. And. Did I tell you to follow me? Yes? No, you said you''re coming from there? I didn''t force you to bring me here. you want to come? Okay, come on now, are you talking loud? "Yeah, that''s it, but " Park Hana stuttered. I want to counter something, but it''s because I can''t think of anything specific. This bastard is saying that now! I feel like I''m already locked up in a place like this. If you tease me one more time, I''ll kill you! Cheon Min-guk, who was next to him, shouted. Well. I need one parka, so I''ll skip it. not you... ? Jinhyuk scratched his head and stood in front of Cheon Min-guk. You''re free to grunt like a pig, but you''d better lower your voice a bit. what? Ah! You didn''t understand it because it was a human language. Gulkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkul!Kurgurgkkkkul. Did you understand? Hey, you fucking bastard! Cheon Min-guk, whose face was flushed red, swung his fist. An attack that flew in aiming at the chin. Whoops. Jinhyuk turned his head slightly to avoid it. At the same time, it touched the foot and broke the opponent''s center of gravity. Huh? ...Huh? Cheon Min-guk, who had been struggling, fell forward. Uduk! Jinhyuk trampled Cheon Min-guk''s wrist with his foot. As the weight was loaded, an eerie sound resounded as the bones displaced. Aaaaaaah! Shh! Be quiet. Don''t you know the saying ''don''t shout in the labyrinth''? Uhhhhhhhh... you idiot. Why are you breaking your wrist when you tell me to be quiet? "Even though I told you this, you still haven''t come to your senses." what? That mouth. It''s rough. Jinhyuk''s expression turned cold. from above. Under. Whoops! His legs dug into Cheon Min Guk''s face. Since the weight was properly loaded, the impact was more than I had imagined. Queek! The front teeth were all smashed, and blood spurted out. Aren''t you doing too much? With just one swung of a fist. Oh, yes. What in the world is... You can''t be that cruel. Park Hana and the rest of the people seemed to be a bit shocked. Of course, it was funny. Do you think it''s too much to smash someone who''s trying to attack you? It''s not like ''Come back strong''. Why do you look at the enemy who once exposed their teeth? ''I am not that righteous.'' Besides, this is not a moral time to judge humanity or anything else. Don''t worry. I won''t kill you. Actually, there was no need for that. because. glance. Jinhyuk looked at the darkness locked in the passage. ''It''s his turn to smell this commotion and blood.'' kuung! kuung! kuung! I started hearing footsteps. Unlike before, the sound of footsteps was clear enough for everyone to hear. CH 9 Labyrinth Livarintos (3) Boo Woong! It was then that I heard the sound of breaking the wind. Whoops! "Big billions?" A huge ax was lodged in Cheon Min Guk''s head. It was a piece of metal that could be 2m long... There was nothing to check. die instantly ''Are you coming at last?'' Jinhyuk took a stance. Mo, it''s a monster! It''s more than a medium-sized class! Damn it. At a time like this! The rest of the people reacted a little too late. Some pulled out crude-looking weapons. These were cheap items I bought at the store with the first 100 coins I received. sure. You won''t be able to scratch it with this one. Among the relics, only a few special Noble Phantasms could pierce his skin. pounding! pounding! My heart was beating fast. Nerves all over the body were jolted. At the same time. thud! thud! thud! thud! Something approached from the end of the dark passageway. come. And at a very fast pace too. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo After a while, it was a 2m tall monster that appeared. A spirit creature with a cow''s head and a human body. Minotaur. This guy is the only monster that roams this labyrinth. Woah, whoa, whoa! What is that! What the hell happened to the labyrinth, here! It''s on the first floor. The first floor! In a situation that quickly turned into chaos. Boo woo woo! The minotaur swung the huge ax in his hand. kwaaang! One blow left a huge scar on the rock. The wall collapsed, and a cloud of smoke rose. Even if it was rubbed, the fragile human flesh would surely become a rag. But right then. percussion! Jinhyuk ran. Forward. Exactly in front of the Minotaur. Koooh! Did the little creatures attacking them with their bare hands offended their nerves? The Minotausr grabbed the ax with both hands. and lifted it high. An attack that hits the top of the head... . Jinhyuk turned slightly to avoid it. Aww! The pitiful ground was shattered. And that moment. [The attack is evaded.] [The stat ''Gap'' has increased by 0.05.] Two lines of status window appeared in front of Jinhyuk. ''Good!'' Jinhyuk swallowed cheers inwardly. -If you dodge the Minotaur''s attack, you can acquire the hidden stat ''Gap''. However, this reward is limited to selecting the labyrinth as the first hunting ground after entering the tower. ''gap''. It is a stat that narrows the gap in battles with the strong with an extreme level difference, and widens the gap even more in battles with the weak. T-tiring! [Details] When fighting an enemy stronger than you, it closes the level gap by 1 for every 3 points. When fighting an enemy weaker than you, it widens the level gap by 1 for every 2 points. The way to grow to a level 1 state. This is the only way I''ve found out after countless trials and errors. The start is only 0.05, but... . ''No need to rush.'' ''Cause it''s just the beginning Jinhyuk avoided the cooking ax. Boo Woong! kwaang! The ax shredded the wall along with the terrifying strife. Debris splattered in all directions. It was a dangerous tug-of-war where even one small mistake could lead to death. Jinhyuk didn''t blink. There is no mistake. ''Because I''m a dead person.'' ''Because I survived a much more dangerous situation than this.'' And. Because I enjoyed the whole process. bang! kwaang! kwaaang! The storm-like attack was dodged by a single sheet of paper. "Hey, it''s a monster." Oh my gosh... Wow, were we trying to touch a bastard like that? It was a familiar pattern to Jinhyuk, but it just made their mouths wide open in the eyes of those who saw them for the first time. yea that''s the way it is It''s an absurd movement to see simply as a reflex. The result of learning down to the bone through terribly repeated memorization. Therefore, it was an area closer to foreknowledge rather than prediction. ''I''m totally crazy.'' Hana Park swallowed dry saliva. Did you ever think of killing a dead person beyond your imagination and taking away your reward? Isn''t it like pouring oil all over your body and jumping into the flames? Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo The minotaur, who had been drenched in drugs, raged even more violently. kwaaang! kwaang! The ax passed through Jinhyuk''s neck. [The fatal attack was very narrowly evaded!] [Stat ''Gap'' has increased by 1.] Avoiding dangerous attacks gives more stats. It means high risk high return. Jinhyuk stole a drop of blood from the nape of his neck with his finger. ''After all, you have to do this to get the maximum stats.'' I deliberately set the timing to the extreme. If you hand over a layer of skin and get 1 stat point instead, it''s not a bad exchange. If you use it frequently, it will be dangerous due to excessive bleeding. So a few minutes passed. Whoa. Huh. Heh. Jinhyuk''s breathing became sharp and he could feel his stamina dropping. Muscle fatigue also began to build up. ''I''ll have to finish the first fight soon.'' The time to get stats was widespread. For a month before escaping the labyrinth, I was planning to extract 100 stats. Jinhyuk glanced back at him. While facing the Minotaur, I saw a group of people trying to sneak away. ''Look at this? Are the supporting actors trying to leave on their own accord?'' that can''t be allowed I am the one who decides when, where and how you live and die. ''More than anything else, where are the things that don''t know how to escape?'' Jinhyuk secretly widened the distance from the Minotaus and flew towards the party. If you want to get stats, please join me. Yes? Park Hana opened her rabbit eyes. If you dodge the guy''s attack, it gives you a Hidden stat. It''s really easier than it looks. Try it. Usually good things are not shared, but this time is an exception. With a kind and good heart, there should be only one exception. " " At those words, Park Hana''s face was terribly distorted. It''s like, ''You idiot. Where do you see that is easy?'' A. Don''t take it off. Just once. Try it once. If you don''t want to, I won''t force you again. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. At the same time, he pushed Do Kwang-woo, who was standing next to Park Ha-na, forward. Uh... huh? Do Kwang-woo took a few steps forward without realizing it. just a few steps. But those few steps were the dividing line between life and death. Ahhhhh! Birds to avoid. There was no one to beg for his life. Scratch! Do Kwang-woo''s upper and lower body were split in half. There was nothing in the Minotaur''s hand, as he was angry because he was overdosed. Ouch! Jinhyuk covered his mouth with his palm. No, what if you stand still. You''ll have to bow down quickly or spread the distance. really. It''s like eating a million sweet potatoes. What if I''m blank there? do something I wanted to tell you to work harder next time. Oh. Next... there is no The labyrinth has changed again. kukuku kuk! The walls and the ground moved frantically. I had to blow myself away to avoid being crushed again. Thanks to this, I was able to get away from the Minotaur. Ha ha ha ha ha. It''s all good. I almost died... Everyone breathed heavily. He lost two colleagues, but no one was saddened by the relief of being alive. After all, his life was the most precious law. Are you ostracized now? You''re not going to chase me anymore, are you? Park Hana looked over the wall and shuddered. It was as if the minotaur would appear through the wall at any moment. I''ll keep chasing you. Jinhyuk fiddled with the small dagger in his hand. It was a weapon Do Kwang-woo had a while ago. It has now become a keepsake. Uh, how do you keep chasing me? The road has changed! Because of this. Jinhyuk opened his palms dyed blue. The minotaur will follow you in the future, since you''ve covered your skin with luminous moth dust. Keep going until the moment you exit the labyrinth. Unbelievable... I can''t. Why the hell did you do that! Why the hell? Why? I have to raise the stats. Only when the labyrinth changes, I take a little rest to replenish my stamina and play with the calf the rest of the time. How much...? Until we get out of the labyrinth. So. How long will it take! Um. About a month? To be precise, it''s a month if you go quickly. It could be two months if you keep nagging. I''m going to eat the bone marrow anyway, but if you speak harshly, the process will be even more painful. " " Park Hana collapsed from her seat. it''s been a month I wasn''t sure if I would be able to survive today, let alone a month. Well, we''ll go separately. If we don''t go with you, we won''t have to be pursued by that monster. This time, Hyemin Lee opened her mouth carefully. That''s right. Jinhyuk nodded his head. ''Certainly the number one target is me buried in dust.'' But that''s it. Which way are you going? You don''t know the exit. Do you want to pray blindly to escape while walking wherever you go? well. That sounds like a bad option. You mean you know the exit? As I said, I know this labyrinth better than anyone. Of course I know the exit. Okay. Then we''ll go together... hoo. I''ll go. There''s no other way. Well, it doesn''t matter if we go together. Jinhyuk muttered his words. Then, Hye-min Lee asked, seemingly anxious. but ? Why do players do this? "You can''t go barefoot." Yes? Where in the world is there for free? At least if you vomit out all the coins you have, I don''t know. To put it simply, It means that if you want to ride a full-blown bus, give out everything you have. [Coins held: 500] The coin obtained from the starting point and the coins received from the four people were combined to make 500 coins. It was not enough to buy a useful weapon or armor. Does not matter. This is because I was able to purchase the items I wanted. Don''t stand like a jangseung. Do what everyone has to do. You have to pluck moss and make a bed. You have to get some firewood to make a fire. There''s a lot of work to do. all right. You can go. If you go. Whoa. A deep sigh was heard. I came here dreaming of hitting the jackpot, and then I lost everything. I can''t even predict my life, so I have no choice but to do so. But do they know? The fact that this will not change their fate anyway. When everyone was away, Jinhyuk activated the exchange. [I am shadowing you to the coin exchange.] A huge status window appeared with a short message. A place where you can buy and sell hundreds of thousands of items. A land of opportunity, full of jewels in the mud and gold that is only a phantom. This is the ''coin exchange''. Jinhyuk glanced through the list. [[''Ancient Degosian''s Tooth (SS)''] - 395,250,700 coins] [[''Mythical beast Feather (S)''] - 188,187,000 coins] [[''Sacred Relic Dangun King Sword''s Spirit (S)''] - 159,155,300 coins] From items that make your eyes enchanted just by looking at them. [[''Worn Small Stone (F)''] - 1 coin] Even items that are practically trash. That is, there were various items. However. ''It''s no use looking at this for a hundred days.'' You can''t even buy it right away, so it''s a waste of time just shopping for kids. Without hesitation, Jinhyuk scrolled down the category the most. Under. further down. What I wanted was gathered at the bottom. ''With this... this. And this too.'' Jinhyuk quickly bought the items he wanted. [[''Tarot Card with Shamanism (F)''] - 70 Coins] [[''Old worn out bronze key fragment (F)''] - 80 Coins] [[''Wagon wheel fragment made of wood (E)''] - 300 Coins] [''Lotto Enhancement Book (F)'' 10 - 1 coin per sheet] 4 types in all. It was all garbage, but Jinhyuk smiled as if satisfied. Individual items are not important. What really matters is how you use them. I will combine three items. [In case of wrong combination, all items will be destroyed.] "Okay, so go ahead." Jinhyuk nodded his head. OK. [Combines 3 items.] [Successful in synthesis!] As if to celebrate success, a dazzling haze erupted. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart started beating fast. ''It''s a success.'' Looking at the item that appeared in front of him, Jinhyuk was convinced. Meantime [All the time I played Tower of Trials was never wasted.] CH 10 Labyrinth Livarintos (4) Jinhyuk checked the item that appeared in front of him with trembling hands. [Fortuna''s Wheel of Fortune (Incomplete), Goddess of Fortune] Acquisition Difficulty: S Description: Maximizes Luck for 10 minutes (1 use). However, because it is incomplete, the usable range is limited.] The goddess of fortune in Roman mythology. And this is the wheel of fortune that the goddess possessed. Because it was a combination of cheap F-grade items, it was disposable and incomplete. This was enough. At least on the 5th floor and below, I was able to create something more powerful than any other weapon. ''where .'' Jinhyuk grabbed the handle of the wagon wheel. hot and Hot mana spread along his fingertips. ''Still, relics are relics, so this is it.'' It had a very sweet taste. ''Yeah, that''s how attractive it is.'' Jinhyuk laughed and turned the handle 360 degrees. Druck! [The relic ''Wheel of Fortune'' is activated!] [Luck rises to maximum in 10 minutes!] heavenly luck. I didn''t know the exact number, but the luck I have now is probably outrageous. If you scratch the lottery, you win. Enough to take a nap on a battlefield full of bullets. Of course, there are conditions attached to this. The condition that the usable range is limited. This word is so scary... . It''s strange and it means that luck is of no use. Above all, there was not a single line of explanation about the extent of the scope. The luck you''ve had at the best could have been a mess, so of course it''s difficult to use. But. That''s true even for stupid people. Jinhyuk knew exactly what the boundary was. ''It''s information I learned while paying expensive tuition.'' At the time, I cursed thousands of times. Thanks to you, no more mistakes. Shall we start slowly? Jinhyuk''s ''Lotto Ganghwa Book'' took out 10. Enhancement success rate 0.000012%. 1 in 8.14 million It is literally the same as the probability of winning the lottery. If you use this for a dagger... . [Enhancement succeeded!] [You have acquired an old dagger (+1)!] A faintly reddish dagger. I knew it! The corner of Jinhyuk''s mouth went up. It is a book that boasts a very bad probability, but now that luck is at full level, the success rate is only 100%. From now on, you just have to keep repeating the same thing over and over again. Continue until all 10 purchased are used up. Continue. Jinhyuk used the second reinforcement book. [Enhancement succeeded!] [You have acquired an old dagger (+2)!] [ ] .] The more successful the enhancement, the more the dagger''s color changed. A sword that gradually turns red. And finally. [Enhancement succeeded!] [You have acquired an old dagger (+10)!] [Enhancement is no longer possible because the maximum has been reached.] [I succeeded in making a +10 item for the first time in the Korean server!] [You have acquired 5,000 coins!] [This achievement will be inducted into the ''Hall of Fame'' tomorrow!] 10 river. You have reached the maximum enhancement value that can be reached with an F-rank item. In addition, he obtained coins through rewards. Boo-woong! Jinhyuk lightly rotated the dagger counterclockwise. A gentle curve cut through the air. It has a light and clean taste. ''I like it.'' [Old Dagger (+10)] Acquisition difficulty: F ( A) Attack power: 280 Durability: 110/110 Effect: Bleeding damage 3%, Light weight 50% Also respect the attack power. Bleeding damage and lightening magic are also applied. ''Now I''ve got something useful.'' I don''t think you need to worry about weapons for a while. The Tower of Trials was opened and a day passed. First day. Numerous players have uploaded videos of them exploring and growing the tower. in a way different from others. He tried to secure subscribers somehow by making use of his own uniqueness. And the ordinary people living outside the tower . I watched videos of such players. There is only one reason. To find the best and most promising players. Only then will we be able to attack the next floor of the tower within 90 days and prevent the destruction of mankind. right then, [Tower of Trials] Jinhyeok, who was scanning the community, stopped. I found something interesting. [#Player Haemosu #Korea Server #ChewPeople #Top of Trial 1st Floor, Goblin Dungeon Clear Video in the Shortest Time!] ''There are people who say things like this.'' The goblin dungeon was cleared in 15 hours and the number of views exceeded 1 million. About 10,000 coins when converted to a 10,000 to 100 ratio. If you exclude 90% of that fee as a fee, you have earned 1,000 coins. ''If it''s Haemosu, I think he once made a name for himself in the lower floors... .'' It''s a memorable name. A rookie that flashed for a moment and then disappeared. Obviously, he was a player who worked under the nickname Haemosu. ''Clear 15 hours... .'' Jinhyuk clicked on the video with a serious expression on his face. The way the melee dealer hunts the goblins. Well, that''s not a bad speed. on an ordinary level. Of course, from the point of view of Jinhyuk, who cleared it in 3 hours and 40 minutes, it was just cute. However, the reaction to the comments on the video was completely different. -Homona color: I''m really tired. Solo 15 hours cut is this a true story? -Taejeong posture Beyonce: ??. I changed my panties. -Swordfish Fairy: Wow. I''ll just subscribe and watch the videos this guy uploads in the future. -President of Maltese Association: 22222222 -3 to 500 stitches: 3333333 The comment box was filled with admiration and exclamation. Said that only this player can climb the tower and save mankind. But it was then. -Human bald man: 15 hours is not very fast. Some of the people I know cleared it in less than 5 hours. Someone left a comment. Comments like throwing ashes on the festival. Of course, there was a strong headwind. -Taejeong Beyonce: What is geriatric disease? It''s really disgusting to wrap things up with brains. -Scholar, who has just loosened up: He hates the way he speaks. Are you obliged to use respect on the Internet? - Gopchang Soju: Nuyenuye. I cut 1 minute up to the 50th floor. Of course, there is no certification. I believe unconditionally. Hundreds of swearing and sarcastic comments ran in an instant. He said that for a day or two, keyboard warriors only talk in the corner of the room. But even while everyone is laughing. Jinhyuk didn''t laugh. Human bald man... . ''This person was also in the tower.'' how can i forget The guy I often played with up to the 20th floor of the tower. I couldn''t see it after the 20th floor, but it''s different from the shiny Haemosu. completely different from the ground up. ''A stork is stuck in the place where the birds are playing.'' The human bald man is a ''real deceased person'' that Jinhyuk has recognized as a rare person. was one of Fuhahaha! It''s done! It''s done! A man who saw the community called for joy. This man is Haemosu. No, it was Lee Myung-hwan, who was active under the nickname Hae Mo-soo. Look. It works. Wow. Look at the comments. The bulletin board is all about you. It''s worth fighting the goblins. Kya! The men and women around Lee Myung-hwan also gave high-fives and raised their voices. Thanks to everyone who worked hard together. Thank you, guys. Lee Myung-hwan scratched the back of his nose. Keuk. People don''t know that you did it all by yourself, don''t you? The editing was good. We applied so cleverly, so you wouldn''t notice it? That''s right. Look at this. The trucks that the fished Hogus said they would support are gathered. The video uploaded as a solo is actually . it''s been manipulated Besides Lee Myung-hwan, four more people helped. Of course, that''s not to say that they''ve been all over the place to help. In a place where he couldn''t be caught on the screen after one step, he helped Myunghwan Lee by overlapping buffs and debuffs. Make it stronger and more colorful to catch people''s eyes at a glance. ''Fufu.'' The corner of Lee Myung-hwan''s mouth went up. [Views: 1,235,095] This is the number of views achieved within 6 hours of posting. If you collect viewers in this way, you will be able to secure a large number of coins in the future. Even if you factor in the 90% fee. ''Don''t be too embarrassed.'' Because living in the world is dominated by outstanding pioneers. It was when Lee Myung-hwan was giggling in a dream. T-tiring! [New video updated in Hall of Fame.] Suddenly, a new video appeared. also at the top. What, what is this? Lee Myung-hwan jumped up from his seat. I was so surprised that I almost bit my tongue, but I didn''t even have time to worry about that. "Is there anyone who has a higher honor score than me ?" It can''t be. You couldn''t do anything higher on your first day than this... . Impossible. But seeing it with my own eyes, I couldn''t help but deny it. Hey, Myunghwan... Try it right now. Look. Perhaps someone cheated. It can''t be like this... Absolutely. Shut your mouth and let it float! Lee Myung-hwan shouted. Oh, I see. Eventually, the video was played. Unlike Lee Myung-hwan''s posting, it was a short video of just over 5 minutes. It wasn''t even edited. However, the content contained was beyond imagination. "Um crazy." Lee Myung-hwan''s jaw fell apart. I had no choice but to do so. This. ''That doesn''t make sense.'' [For the first time in the world, we succeeded in strengthening the +10 item!] Appearance of 10 items. Further explanation was meaningless. The same goes for calculating probabilities. Joe, the number of views... No, how about comments? Tell me what the fuck is going on right now! Lee Myung-hwan shouted louder than before. His voice trembled. A slender question filled with earnestness... . It surpassed 1 million in 15 minutes after posting. It seems that word of mouth is spreading quickly. The answer that followed was shattered. -Taejeong posture Beyonce: Top 10 in the world? 10 rivers? -Homona color: Crazy. Was that even possible? I''ve seen up to episode 5 before. -Knife Fairy: What''s the probability, if it''s the last 10? I saw that it was uploaded as the lowest level enhancement book. -Speedwagon: Appeared. Multiply 1 in 8.14 million 10 times. -Swordfish Fairy: So how much is that? -Speedwagon: You are looking for it. No hands No feet? -Swordstalker Fairy: Hey, you start! -Scholar, who is unleashed: But, in order to secure fixed subscribers, we have to disclose information. Why is it all private? - Gopchang Soju: That''s right. -Identification Center: Who is it, common sense? Are there any other players other than the one who fought the mangrove tree? -Scholar who has untied the string: No way, huh. it''s real There seems to be no one but him. - Gopchang Soju: Wow. If it''s that chewing person, maybe it''s possible. -Swordfish Fairy: I just got goosebumps all over my body. I only watch that person''s broadcast in the future. -Harvard 5th grade 3rd class: I''m going to take off my pants and donate. The heat of the comments was so hot that it could not be heated. Clearing the goblin dungeon was buried in an instant. The Internet has been plagued with stories about newly emerging deceased people. Uh... huh? Lee Myung-hwan sat down in his seat. At most, I could only go up to the 6th floor of the tower. Actually, in the beginning, I was trying to win by raking in viewers. ''ruined.'' completely. What a motherfucker! Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Lee Myung-hwan''s shout resounded in a dreadful way. CH 11 Labyrinth Livarintos (5) Ten days have passed since I entered the labyrinth. With various traps scattered all over the place. A minotaur constantly pursuing them. Plus hunger and lack of sleep. All of them were too harsh conditions for humans to survive. And to prove it. The raid, which started with 7 people, was reduced to 3 people. Jinhyuk, Hana Park, and Cheolsik Jang. three like this. "If you go on like this, you will all die." Jang Cheol-shik muttered with a sad expression on his face. Yeah. You''ll only be used by that devil-like guy, and eventually you''ll be thrown away. Park Hana nodded her head. It is used as a long term word to avoid traps. Whether it is used as a throwaway plaque to attract the attention of the Minotaur. one of the two Hye-min Lee and Jang Mi-na also died in that way. He tried to kill Jin-hyeok, but failed. In the end, I was just being used to it. -Anonymous 1: Why don''t you just give up and be quiet? Just by looking at it, it doesn''t seem like you guys are? -Anonymous 6: I think I''ve been to the 10th floor. Let''s just not fuss. -Anonymous 3: ?j. If there are two newbies, it''s like a bowl of rice to a dead person. -Anonymous 4: Besides, you have a bad personality. Even though he knew he was going to kill him, he continued to use respectful words and went around with him. Soureum. -Anonymous 9: The killer next to me is kind. whoops Park Hana''s chat window went up quickly. They belong to the Black Crow Guild, but do not climb the tower. In a word, it was a supporting group outside of TOP. What information did you find about that person? -Anonymous5: [Tower of Trials] All related past videos are locked, so I can''t figure it out. -Anonymous 3: They completely blocked everything. View tube or personal blog. Even things stored on the phone were hacked. -Anonymous 2: If you know your face, you don''t know Hoxy. -Anonymous 1: ??. But I don''t have an answer because I''m wearing it 24 hours a day. -Anonymous 6: I think it''s the Phantom of the Opera. -Anonymous 4: I''m curious, but do you use that when you poop? -Anonymous 7: I did a search and it didn''t even make a broadcast channel? -Anonymous 3: I don''t seem to have any intention of gathering subscribers, and it seems like I''m completely solo. A strangely shaped mask that gives an ominous feeling. Until the first day in the labyrinth... . I didn''t wear that mask. However, it was only for a short time. When Park Ha-na, who was in a panic, turned on the broadcast, Jin-hyuk had already purchased a black mask from the coin exchange. Since then, he has completely hidden his face. -Anonymous 3: Damn it. But, if I had known this would happen, I would have acted like crazy before. I''m suddenly very jealous. -Anonymous 4: If you know the strategy and the location of the relic, it''s a real bummer. -Anonymous 7: ??j. Electricity seems to go up to the frontal lobe of the brain. -Anonymous 1: Oh, by the way, all the guys I''ve been with for a long time are all submerged. get some tips We will eat too. -Anonymous 2: If it''s like you, would you let me know? -Anonymous 3: lol. In fact, even if it were me, I would read it alone. ''Did you choose to support these idiots outside the tower... .'' Park Hana''s face contorted. I''m just giggling, because I haven''t been able to get any nutritious information. Of course it''s bound to be frustrating. Shut up. Did you tell your brother about this situation? -Anonymous 1: ???. We''re one of a kind. -Anonymous 5: ??. I told -Anonymous 9: But, it''s hard to find because it''s so deep. -Anonymous 3: Murides. It''s a king city, but never Murides. -Anonymous 4: Even Bear Grylls is in distress. -Anonymous 2: King Byungman hyung came and made a U-turn. -Anonymous 6: Little is known about this labyrinth in the first place. We need at least three more weeks to catch up to where you are. three weeks... . Within ten days, all but two were annihilated. Do you have to wait three more weeks? ''It''s impossible.'' Park Hana''s eyes gleamed with life. Even at this moment, I could see Jinhyuk sleeping coolly. A monster-like guy who couldn''t succeed no matter how much he tried to kill him! Yes. This isn''t murder, it''s an attempt. why. There is also the law. Such a law that the sentence for an attempted offender is much lower. But you''re just trying to kill us all. It was too. I really did too. ''Aren''t the lives of six people more valuable than the lives of one?'' Even right now, this is two people. So you must die for the majority. few. How do I hit it now? Do you think sleeping is an opportunity? Jang Cheol-shik picked up a rock on the floor. Although crude, it is a weapon that has been proven since ancient times in terms of lethality. Kwajik when you are sleeping! If the head is crushed, the living thing is bound to die. no. Park Hana shook her head. That man, his reaction speed is absolutely monstrous. Whether it''s a head-to-head battle or a surprise attack. There''s no chance of winning a fight. There are people who are just trying to assassinate clumsily. Without taking into account the skill of the other party, let''s try it first. Such emotional attempts usually end badly. Then, what should we do? We can''t just wait for our turn to be defeated like this, can we? Who''s going to suffer? Park Hana exhaled coldly and pulled out a sharp saliva from her bosom. A clear liquid condensed. It was the sting of a giant courgette. that''s . Even if it''s a monster, shouldn''t it be eaten? It is the responsibility of Hana Park and Cheolsik Jang to prepare the meal. Collecting moss and mushrooms inside the labyrinth. Cook it over a fire and put it in a bowl. All in all, it means no interference. Let''s prepare. The Last Supper he will eat! Park Ha-na imagined Jin-hyeok chewing on a terrible neurotoxin and writhing in pain. fufu. It felt as if the pain until now had been washed away. Tuk! Tuk! Tuk! Something pierced Jinhyuk''s shoulder. "Hey get up." Immediately, Park Hana''s voice was heard. ...what is it? Jinhyuk slowly opened one eye. The meal is ready. Come and eat. It''s already time. Oh. Is this moss mushroom stir-fry again? Is there anything else to eat here? Even bats and moths. Park Hana snapped. ''It''s rough.'' Jinhyuk stretched out and got up from his seat. body is light ''Gap'' uploaded for a week All stats are 21. In addition, through the actual battle with the powerful boss monster, the sense of battle was also raised to the extreme. Although the numerical level is 1. never 1 ''Absolutely not.'' Best level 1. So it was expected. When this labyrinth was over and I went out, that day! Jinhyuk approached the place where Park Hana and Jang Cheolsik were. A stinky smell stung his nostrils. A mixture that looks terrible from the outside. A dish made with moss and mushrooms was really something you had to eat to survive. ''It feels like a complete survival film.'' Because I had to completely give up my sense of taste and put it in. Fortunately, it is full of nutrients... . I''m glad if that''s the case. There, Mr. Park Hana. Could you give me some water from behind? " Water?" Mr. Jang Cheol-shik spreads a little more mushrooms and moss. I''m going to eat more of this tasteless thing. Let''s eat it. With a light conversation, the preparations for the bottom are finished. Jinhyuk picked up chopsticks and tableware made from bat bones. The rest of the people also picked up the tableware. The three of them put food in their mouths at the same time. By the way. Huh. Huh. I ate. They both laughed at the same time. Unusually cold air. An unpleasantly subdued atmosphere. This . ...I used poison. Jinhyuk slowly put down the tableware. That''s right. It''s a poison that spreads through blood vessels. It''s useless to try. -Anonymous 1: Ha ha ha. I gulped it down my throat! -Anonymous 3: This is [It''s called a rice thief.] -Anonymous 7: Is your esophagus burning? -Anonymous 2: Ye-rim, I''m afraid to lose. are you sakura? Do you have a hand? Soon, even the public chat window was activated. Seeing them giggle as if they were waiting, everyone must have been certain of death. Of course it is. Items that detoxify lethal poison are very expensive. The coins I currently have are not too young. So it''s fatal. When the poison spreads, the heart stops. what if. If only I had poisoned. At Jinhyuk''s words, Jang Cheolsik widened his eyes. Did you know... poison? It''s not the first time you guys have tried something like this. Do you think you''ll eat the food they give you? How can you trust others in such a place of thin ice? The degree of effort to change the container with food... . was always negligent. But. Nevertheless. Park Hana was still not losing her composure. As if that was already expected. Who said they poisoned food? I know that the other person''s eyes are fast. That''s why I applied poison to chopsticks, not food. No matter how stubborn you are, you have no choice but to be defeated. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! with painful moans. Red blood gushed out of his mouth. Blood vessels and blood vessels that swell as if they were about to burst, creating a grotesque scene. However. Uh, why? It wasn''t Jinhyuk who had blood foam in his mouth. Grunk... Gagging! Gagging! Jeong Cheol-shik twisted his whole body. He looked desperate as he scratched his neck with his fingernails. Of course, the pain didn''t last very long. Because the poison that spread in an instant stopped my heart. Did you even notice this...? What the hell! How? "Because it was different from usual." After entering the labyrinth, Hana Park never asked to eat first. Instead, Jang Cheol-sik or someone else took on the role. But today, you''re going to set everything up first? How is it different from going for a drive to a nearby sea on the day your life insurance expires? Only because of such a trivial thing...? Such little things are important. The reason I was able to break through the Tower of Trials to the end. Is it because you have good reflexes? Do you need persistence or persistence? Of course, there are those too. It cannot be denied that it is an important factor. But it''s not the most important factor. The only thing I could be a dead person was . It was because of his eyesight that was different from others. No matter how trivial information was collected and analyzed, a conclusion was drawn. That''s why I was able to climb the tower I thought was impossible. -Anonymous 1: Whh. -Anonymous 4: Did you think of all that with that one word? makes sense? -Anonymous 2: Lee Yeol. Did the viewers take advantage of the fact that Hana Park''s vision was the same? -Anonymous 5: Even though it''s food, it''s creepy to even change chopsticks. -Anonymous 7: Conan-san, Kim Jeon-il, please come back. -Anonymous 3: Don''t overdo it. If you go to elementary school, everyone can predict this. I agree? -Anonymous 2: ?j. Actually, I noticed too. -Anonymous 6: 222222 -Anonymous 8: 333333 And you guys... Jinhyuk looked at the people who were giggling in the public chat window. To be precise, he was just staring at a point in the air. -Anonymous 3: Hmmmm, is it us this time? -Anonymous 2: What will you do if you stare at it scary? -Anonymous 6: Are you sharp on each application for this? -Anonymous 8: How many needles in three generations? I''m from Il-jang in Dobong-cho. -Anonymous 3: Close your eyes if you don''t want to rob all the corn with this body''s Nyangnyang Punch. The snout is still alive. Well. What''s scary about being over the monitor? Jinhyuk smirked. But, if you have a brain that isn''t a nut, think about why I was condoning you guys. If the broadcast had been blocked, there was no need to bother acting. I didn''t have to wear a mask all day. But there was a reason for taking all the troubles. To check which side Hana Park is in contact with. And. To get evidence that these guys used a shortcut. I don''t know because I''m outside, but there is only one case where a live broadcast is possible. The Tower of Trials has rules. -The live broadcast can only be turned on when dealing with the boss monster to go to the next floor. And if you break that rule... . - Appropriate measures will be taken if manipulation of the number of views or other misconduct is detected. There are penalties for that. Of course, the punishment here is... well. It would be far from mild. [Anonymous has been disbanded.] -''The crow is crow'' has left the chat window. -Madam to Dolsoe: What. what? -Jack Pauer: Why are you leaving all of a sudden? -''Madame to Dolsoe'' has left the chat window. -tyg123: Okay, wait a minute. -Joyen: Wait! -''Jack Pauer'' has left the chat window. -Note 20: gf. Someone just looked at the front door of our house. -Daraami S2: What is this? what? The guys in the public channel disappeared one by one. and after a while. [Currently logged in viewers: 0] No, that''s absurd. Park Hana, who was left alone, sat down in her place. CH 12 Labyrinth Livarintos (6) [10 viewers were caught for cheating.] [These viewers will not be able to watch the video for the next month.] [The penalty inflicts serious damage to parts of the body.] [If caught twice, the viewer will be permanently expelled.] limbs may be paralyzed. You may lose sight or taste. If you are unlucky, more important parts may lose their permanent function. The penalty for breaking the rules was that severe. Well, what happened, this. Park Hana stuttered. Cold sweat formed on his face. Up until now, I thought I was the one who had thoroughly observed and made the plan. No, I had to be the only one. By the way. why the hell Are you saying that all the conversion cards you have prepared are being read? You, what are you? You know what to do with that? That''s it! It''s all nonsense! It''s like... It''s like reading your mind. ''You seem to have experienced everything.'' Park Hana couldn''t keep up with her words. As soon as it came out of my mouth, all the common sense I had known before seemed to crumble. And of course. Jinhyuk had no intention of answering that question. If you tell me, you won''t know. [Whether you say your nickname from the Tower of Trials.] Talk about what you did there. No one remembers A character from a game that went bankrupt a long time ago. Because I was the last player who floated in the world where everyone left. That was then. [The condition has been met.] [You succeeded in copying the unique ability ''Communion (C)''!] [The copied skill is saved in ''Memory of the World''.] [[consensus] Acquisition Difficulty: C You can give other living things friendliness. This is true even if you are meeting for the first time. However, if the level of the ability is low, the effect may decrease.] A status window appears in front of you saying that the copy is complete. It was all thanks to the disappearance of everyone except Park Hana. ''great. I finally got it.'' Jinhyuk nodded his head with a satisfied face. Growth-type unique ability. Right now, it''s grade C, but there was room for growth. B A And even after that. Furthermore. The reason I tried to acquire this ability was not simply because of sympathy itself. ''The reason I was special.'' ''The reason I was able to get to the last floor of the tower.'' It''s not just copying skills. This is because the copied skills were able to fuse new high-level skills. I will summon the powers of ''The Memory of the World''. Jinhyuk muttered in a low voice. The ability to bring... . ''Element of Fire'' and ''Communion''. There are two Whoops! Several flames soared from his left hand. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo And a golden light flashed in his right hand. When ''sympathy'' is fused with the ability of the water attribute type, the effect of sympathy can be amplified nearly twice. ''Not bad.'' Should I say it''s more like a carrot than a whip? You will be able to approach them naturally without creating a harsh atmosphere. On the other hand. You can create a ''stigma'' if you combine ''sympathy'' with the flame-type abilities. A stigma that compels complete submission only to those who are mentally broken. Pants! When the left and right hands met, a dazzling spark occurred. [Fusion successful!] [You have acquired the skill ''Stigma of the Soul (A)''!] [[Stigma of the Soul] Acquisition Difficulty: A Description: Engrave a ''stigma'' on the target. The stigmatized target must obey the caster''s orders and must not do anything that harms the caster. Failure to do so will cause your whole body to ignite with terrible pain.] A cursed flame capable of engraving a brand on the soul. pounding! pounding! pounding! Jinhyuk''s heart was beating rapidly. A feeling of exhilaration that fills up every time you collect new skills. ''Yes. That''s it!'' Because of this satisfaction and excitement, the unique ability of ''fusion'' was chosen. When everyone depends on one and only ability. Because I was able to embrace all the abilities that exist in the world. ''This is only the beginning.'' To climb to the top of the tower, there were still piles of abilities that had to be gathered. Well? But that was then. Something caught Jinhyuk''s senses. Right away. thud! thud! thud! thud! With a roar that shakes the axis. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo The roar of a familiar beast was heard. ''right. Was he there?'' I got so used to it that I forgot about it. About another being who is living together uncomfortable in this labyrinth. Again, again! That monster is coming. Park Hana hesitated and took a step back. Fear permeated to the bone. For Hana Park, the minotaur was like a disaster. have to run away Right Now. However Where? Jinhyuk, the only one who knows the way out of the labyrinth, just stared into the air and smiled. ''What''s so good about it!'' The swear words welled up in my throat, but right now, getting out of this place was my priority. If you''re going to fight, I''ll be lost, so just tell me where to go. Until now, Jinhyuk used to tell the party in advance which way to go so as not to get involved in battle. I don''t know why. Maybe he didn''t like to be messed with. whatever happened The important thing. The point was that he didn''t have to get involved in this fight. By the way. Why do I have to tell you that? Jinhyuk shrugged. "Because until now " "Until now, I only needed something from you and protected it." not now Because the conditions for copying have been met, the purpose has already been achieved. Whether wandering through the labyrinth and starving to death. fall into a trap This means that there is no single reason to help. Are you going to leave me? Here? Don''t make that face like you''ve been broken. Wasn''t it a death-and-death relationship between us from the beginning? Anyone who sees them will know that they are close friends. If you can see a gap, it''s a secret attack or a subject you''ve applied. As Jinhyuk calmly drew a line, Park Hana''s face suddenly darkened. Come on, wait! You''ll regret it. If my brother finds out about this...! Brother... Why didn''t the story come out? Threats of retaliation from the Black Crow Guild where Park Ha-jin is. Sreung! Jinhyuk pulled out a dagger. tsutsutsu. When mana was published, anticipation that made my eyes shiver came out. It must have looked really funny. Up until now, we have mainly dealt with avoiding things to raise the gap stats. From the standpoint of observing, it can''t be a head-on match, so it seems like they''re just running away like loachs. so . Watch carefully over there. That stupid guild and I. Which of the two should you fear? What is that? Park Hana asked, but Jinhyuk had already disappeared from his seat. percussion! It appeared above the head of the galloping minotaur. from above. Under! The dagger headed towards the back of the giant bull. Aww! Aww! painful scream. It is said to be unscathed below the relic, but that doesn''t mean it''s not without pain. If you''re aiming for an accurate RBI with a top 10 weapon... . It was more than enough to turn the inside of the opponent upside down. ''It is worthwhile to raise the gap.'' When we first met, it was pretty daunting. Minotaur was very fast and had a wide attack range. There was also a physical problem here. At most, I was only dealing with 20 minutes or so. But. The situation has completely changed thanks to the countless number of practical experiences and stats raised for ten days. Boo woo woo! Jinhyuk tilted his head slightly to avoid the axe. At the same time. [Lv1 ''Element of Fire'' is activated!] A three-pronged stream of fire blasted through the Minotaur''s face. puff puff! The sound of an explosion piercing the eardrums and the smell of burning coals were combined. it''s a direct hit Koooh! stumble The minotaur''s body shook violently. Here is not the end. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. ''You have to keep driving me out of my mind.'' You can''t kill it anyway if so . You just need to create a similar situation. Kakagak! Kaka Kaka Kak! The dagger cut the joints left and right. from ankle to knee. I was aiming for a crutch that thoroughly supported my body. Aaaaaah! The minotaur swung his arms wildly at the storm-like attack. Of course, it wasn''t Jinhyuk who would face such a blind attack. After retrieving the dagger, they straightened out the distance. Boo-woong! Once again, the ax cut through the air. Don''t run too hard. If you gain muscle, the meat will become tough. Don''t you know that marbling is life for beef tuple? Jinhyuk groaned. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! It was natural for the minotaur to stumble and get angry. only once . Just one hit can take your breath away. Whatever the case, that one time was insanely difficult. Seeing the minotaur snoring, the corners of Jinhyuk''s mouth went up. ''Can I provoke a little more?'' It''s almost over. The moment he uses his last card. And as expected. The Minotaur, who had passed the threshold due to the continuous provocation, activated a unique ability. [The Guardian of the Labyrinth activates Lv10 ''Berserk''!] [For 5 minutes from now, Minotaur''s attack power, attack speed, and movement speed are increased by 30%!] [Intellect temporarily increases.] [You will be able to speak the language.] Ududuk! Uduk! His muscles swelled like he was about to explode, and his eyes were dyed red. Almost three times the size. The huge ax was so small that it looked like a hatchet... . The oppression was difficult to express in words. Hey, how do you beat this? Park Hana slumped down in her seat. This is because the strength in the legs is completely released. ''That man is not as good as this time. No chance at all.'' instinctively knew. No matter how hard you try, it''s useless. Jerrit! Jerrit! Jinhyuk also felt a tingling sensation on his skin. It is overwhelming mana. but. Originally, it was a monster that should only be met on the 5th floor or higher of the tower. As long as such a guy does his best, there is no such thing as a win for a level 1 player. Even if there are hundreds of players here. Or even if dozens of deceased people have gathered. Human! I''ll tear it up to pieces and scatter it at the entrance of the labyrinth, so that those who have lost their cowardice like you do not invade this place again! The minotaur growled. Chunkyung! The ax stretched forward. Then, the typified mana began to encroach on the labyrinth. The soil burned and the moisture in the air dried up. However. Hmm. It''s not bad. Mana management feels better than before. Still, isn''t it better to use local attributes than Blitz? In terms of efficiency, it would be better? Jinhyuk even enjoyed the pressure. No matter how powerful and fast an attack is, if it doesn''t hit, it''s enough. And Jinhyuk had the experience to make that possible. That''s not self-confidence. Human. It''s arrogance and arrogance. Manyong Oh man? Write all the difficult words on the topic of the calf. Is it from Australia? Well. It''s not me who''s arrogant in my opinion, but your guy. Huh? Why do you think so? Berserk. You can''t use that, right? There''s a reason he''s been saving this ability up until now. A penalty of being unable to move for 24 hours after that, after 5 minutes, you can use great power. It was because of this. ...you know a lot more than you think. The minotaur widened his eyes as if a little startled, But it was only for a short time. But do you think you''ll be able to run away during that time? 5 minutes is a long time. Especially in a narrow passage like this. Who is it? You think I''ll just run away? The flames spread along the sword. shimmering flames. at that end. Whoops! Jinhyuk started to lift mana. CH 13 Labyrinth Livarintos (7) kwaaang! sword and axe. Two knives collided. Fireworks erupted and dazzling sparks flew out. Creep...! A heavy moan escaped the minotaur''s mouth. It''s not because it''s overpowered. Rather, it was the opposite. If it collides head-on, it''s like a human. It could be thrown away with a dagger. But the moment when the weapon and the weapon come into contact. Kaga! The opponent skillfully shifted the center of gravity and let the attack flow. paring. It was also at a level that could not be stagnant and rotted. Unbelievable. Park Hana''s mouth widened as she watched. There was no doubt that it would end one-sidedly. A boss-level monster that has activated a skill that is over level 10. Even if all the members of the Black Crow Guild came, it wouldn''t be an opponent. So, I was just thinking of running away. Because we couldn''t die together here. However. Jinhyuk was not pushed at all against the monster. No, it was rather pushing. bang! kwaaang! A contradiction in which a small blade overwhelms a heavy piece of iron. My heart was pounding in a battle that was hard to discern with the naked eye. ''Humans are like that... It might move.'' Park Hana clenched her fists unconsciously. Furthermore. ''I''m smiling.'' A single mistake can cost your life. nevertheless. Jinhyuk was smiling happily. And that moment. Jin-hyuk grabbed the minotaur''s horn and rotated his body one large revolution. When landing lightly on your head. It was after the dagger had already disappeared from his hand. kwaduk! Suddenly, the vertical dagger penetrated the roof of the minotaur''s mouth. ...! can''t keep my mouth shut Because the dagger was fixed like a strut. Five minutes, it''s over. Jinhyuk looked down at the Minotaur with a cold gaze. At the same time. Whoops! The manifested ''Element of Fire'' was directed towards the man''s jaw. A crimson flesh was visible beyond the throat. No matter how hard the skin is, the inside is soft. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The flames went down the esophagus and burned all the intestines. Koooooooh! A terrible scream rang out. [The usage time of the unique ability ''Berserk'' has expired.] [The Guardian of the Labyrinth is in ''Household Status'' for 24 hours!] The minotaur stood and stiffened. ''I''ve finished this neatly.'' Jinhyuk retrieved the dagger stuck in his mouth. Although Berserk was expressed, the risk was high. Thanks to you, I definitely scraped one point. [Gap stat points earned so far: 57] A whopping 57 points! In terms of level, it was a number that could narrow the gap between 19 levels. ''There is not much left until the goal of 100 points.'' The remaining time is 20 days. This face is enough. So, now all that''s left is... . Jinhyuk''s eyes glanced backwards. Park Hana was seen trembling. As long as he showed his seriousness, he seemed to have realized that even the entire Black Crow Guild was of no use. Jinhyuk raised his finger towards Park Hana. what are you doing? Yes? Aren''t you coming? Yes! Park Hana, who woke up one beat late, ran to her. Ha ha ha ha. Did you call...? "From now on, we will be recruiting interns for the Goin Company." Hey, are you an intern? I''m not very motivated. Why? Not interested? If you''re not interested, well... . Would it be difficult to see the sunlight alive? Jinhyuk lightly put the dagger and turned the wheel. The blood-red blade drew a soft curve. Wow, I''m interested! Please let me in! I''ve always wanted to join this company! Park Hana nodded her head vigorously until her hair was messed up. great. I like the posture. Very enthusiastic applicant. Then, the question. Try to appeal what you can do for the company in the future. Park Hana''s face turned white at the sudden question. I... I... I? Friendliness! Yes! My unique ability is to be able to make friends with others. I can make friends rather than enemies. sympathetic ability. It''s definitely not a bad ability, though. already got it And? "And I will never, ever betray." Even if you don''t like it, it will be. If you put a brand on it, even if you want to betray it, you will not be able to betray it. Is that the end? Anything more? jerk. Jinhyuk took one step forward. While stroking the dagger with your fingertips. No. That''s... uh... well, wait a minute. Give me some time to think! Park Hana took a step back. if you don''t think about anything. something useful. You have to make an offer that the other person likes. I will announce it. There are no successful candidates for the 1st Internship Company... Jinhyuk raised his dagger high. That was then. Braham''s Ring! Park Hana screamed sharply. " " Jinhyuk paused. What if it was Braham''s ring? You got it? From the Black Crow Guild? Not yet, but soon. It''s not human distrust, but it''s hard to believe. Braham''s ring was one of the best items you could get on the first floor. Movement speed increase, magic resistance, as well as the ability to suppress the mana of monsters. Because there are three useful options attached. The problem is that it''s almost impossible to get that item. The key to the dungeon was available at the starting point on the Korean side. This is because the dungeon with Braham''s Ring is located at the starting point on the Chinese side. The beginning of the play where the tower has just been created. There''s no way the two competing countries can''t give up the candy they have in their hands, right? I don''t know if I take a picture and press and steal it. Park Hana bit her lip slightly. "My brother said he was dealing with China . Our side decided to get a ring instead of providing ''Korean ginseng''." An edible item known to be excellent for stamina and mana recovery, ''Korea Ginseng''. hoo. If that''s the case, the words will change Hopefully, Ha-jin Park also has a connection with China. Korean ginseng is good too, but it wouldn''t be enough to give up Braham''s ring? Is there something else behind the scenes? I don''t know the details of the contract beyond that. Ah! Jin, really! Because the viewers told me... [Lv1 ''Eyes of Truth'' is activated!] [Park Hana''s words are ''truth''.] I didn''t think he was lying or saying Excellent grade. This has been fun Maybe I can get my hands on not only Braham''s ring but also Korean ginseng. Jinhyuk''s head began to spin rapidly. A number of cases came to mind in an instant. There''s only one thing I like. ''At the end of the day, I have no choice but to become a hostile relationship with these guys again.'' China had as many deceased people as Korea did. In fact, the giant guild ''Zhonghua'' created by the ancient Chinese was one of the largest guilds in the world. ''It must be said that the guild has already been created and systematized.'' I thought it would take at least a month. Unlike the game, there are many more variables in reality. Even if it is small, it will take that much time. But they have compressed the whole process to the extreme. Through a peaceful agreement? No. With such idealism, this cannot be possible. It must have been the result of being pressed down by strong leadership and charisma. And you can guess who''s at the top. '' Namgungcheon.'' Originally a child of a samurai family, a genius who received a gifted education. [A ranker who read all secret books and elixir even in the Tower of Trials.] Yes, it must be the guy. It was at that time that Park Ha-na called Jin-hyeok, who was lost in thoughts. there . Oh. I''m going to have to take care of this from now on. Park Ha-na must have been on a dungeon while waiting for the results of her passing. Congratulations. Jinhyuk smiled broadly. You just got accepted to an internship at the Goin Company! Wow! Applause! " " At the sudden change of attitude, Park Hana put on a puzzled expression. Intern. Applause. Jinhyuk muttered lowly. Where the boss applauds, but the intern. Wow! match! match! match! match! match! Park Hana clapped the seals with all her heart and soul. It felt like I was lying down and receiving me, but it didn''t matter. Because it was something I had already experienced while working as a BJ. greatness-! Jinhyuk cleared his voice and continued. Now, our company doesn''t pay interns a salary. You have to cover your living expenses by doing a part-time job or doing a part-time job. And the most important point. You have to come out whenever and wherever I call. Whether it''s 3 in the morning or in Jeju Island. Keep in mind that it''s not my business. do it. Of course, if you are late or absent without permission, you will be dismissed. Retiring here means leaving the body and leaving only the soul. all right. Park Hana bowed her head as if she had resigned. And added a word. "Should I write a contract or something?" "Of course I should." I needed proof that I signed a contract. only. It''s a little different from a normal contract. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Jinhyuk activated a new skill acquired through fusion. The index finger burned with a blue light. Is that a contract standing? Yeah. Did you ever think you''d make a Dojo on a piece of paper? That only works outside the tower. not here What? Jinhyuk''s style was a little more certain and hotter. Jinhyuk placed his index finger on Park Hana''s right shoulder. [Engrave Lv1 ''Stigma of the Soul'' on Park Hana!] Chi profit! Suck... Park Hana frowned, but did not scream. Actually, it won''t hurt too much. If betrayed, it would be more painful than I could have imagined. Time passed quickly. ''Gap'' through the battle with the Minotaur A simple routine of raising stats and resting other than that. It was a daily routine that ran like a treadmill, but Jinhyuk never thought that he was boring. ''I''m getting stronger.'' Daily. I could feel myself growing day by day. So there is no room for boredom or boredom. Aww! The minotaur''s fists aimed at Jinhyuk''s face. But the fist did not touch. A few centimeters away from the face. There. Jinhyuk grabbed the opponent''s fist with one hand. Why do you seem to be getting weaker? It is a bonus to taunt and provoke. Aww! The minotaur''s arm muscles expanded rapidly. Still, nothing changed. Because the stats were raised too much, the gap could not be narrowed and the situation was reversed. puck! Whoops! Rather, let Jinhyeok''s fist pierce his side. The body of the gigantic Minotaur was broken by a fighter. Kek! Keeek! It took less than five minutes for him to lose his mind with the foam in his mouth. ''I''ve already done this more than 100 times.'' After fighting for a month, I can feel the familiarity just by looking at the minotaur''s face. I was not used to seeing fainting, so it became a daily routine. ''If it''s like this, wouldn''t it be worth living for a year instead of a month?'' That was when I was thinking about it. You did a great job. President! Park Hana brought food made of moss and mushrooms on a plate. Oh . What I said a while ago is cancelled. this food. No matter how much I ate it, I never got used to it. Spicy Kimchi Stew. Crispy chicken and ice-cold beer. Sizzling grilled pork belly with soju. Vera''s mint chocolate ice cream looks as if you brushed it without brushing your teeth! I want to eat this. Madly. " let''s go. Out." Jinhyuk asked this badly. Now it''s almost over. [Gap increased by 0.015 points.] As soon as you dodge an attack. Jinhyuk''s round kick exploded. Aww! The minotaur''s head turned about 90 degrees. I didn''t even talk to him anymore. The moment I got the stats, I was stunned. And finally. [Current Gap stat: 100] 100 stats... . We have reached a point where we can extract the maximum output versus time. cry. It felt like something that had piled up from within was soaring up. At the same time. Hey, I see the light over there! The end of the labyrinth began to appear. it has finally arrived At the end of a long, long journey. CH 14 tower''s dead (1) [[Name: Rivarintos (Clear)] Type: Labyrinth Difficulty: B Description: A labyrinth of Crete designed by Daedalus. It is characterized by a very complex maze and various types of traps.] [You have cleared the labyrinth on the first floor for the first time!] [This event will be recorded in the ''Hall of Fame'' tomorrow.] [Player Jinhyuk Kang and Hana Park each receive 5,000 coins!] The sun''s dazzling light. The fresh air that fills your heart. Whoa... Jinhyuk closed his eyes and savored the taste and texture. Sa, lived. Lived! We! Tears welled up in Park Hana''s eyes as well. What a hellish month. I was chased by the minotaur all day and couldn''t sleep well. He supported his meal with disgusting moss and mushrooms. but survived, Yes, I survived that hell. But it''s a short time to be happy. Jinhyuk, who was next to him, patted his shoulder. Yes? Coin. If it''s a nose, a coin? Park Hana slowly looked up. ''Look at me pretending not to know?'' Well, it was an amount I didn''t want to vomit. With 5,000 coins, you could purchase a D-level item. Will you be right? Will you just give it to me? Jinhyuk spread out his palms. All profits from the contractual collaboration are the responsibility of the president. ...you can give it to me. Park Hana handed the coin with a gloomy face. ''great.'' This has surpassed 10,000 coins. The tail of Jinhyuk''s mouth went up as his balance grew thicker. ''The benefits of the initial reward are definitely ssolsolsaol.'' That''s a lot more than I expected. At least at this point, no player has more coins than me. Get Braham''s ring and bring it back in three days. Such! 3 days is too short...! I''ll give you two days. If you open your mouth one more time, it becomes a day. If it''s more than that, you should get it right now. ...I''ll try to save you somehow. Park Hana bowed her head. Despite escaping from the labyrinth and gaining a new life. His expression was completely rotten. Although he was freed from monsters, his life as a slave had only just begun. Especially with a brutal boss like Jinhyuk, the future would be more painful than hell. Don''t look like you''re about to die. I''ll let you go up to the Hall of Fame alone. At Jinhyuk''s words, Park Hana widened her eyes. Is that possible? In the case of two or more people, only the representative player can upload. " " Park Hana bit her fingers. A labyrinth that no one has cleared yet. If it was known that he broke through it alone, it was obvious that he would receive a lot of attention. Losing a colleague. I haven''t been able to level up in a month. All of this might be forgiven. No, where is that? In the media and on the Internet, there will be uproar about the appearance of a promising prospect. For Hana Park, who likes to get attention, it was a reward that Gumi couldn''t help but gravitate towards. For Jinhyuk, it was an opportunity to escape from bothersome attention and checks. "How many viewers know about you?" Why? Do you care about them? You don''t know. Looking at their last chat, it seems that the probability of not feeling well is quite high. But, as Park Ha-na said, there is such a thing as ''maybe''. Then you can''t make it so you don''t talk. Does that mean...? I don''t think the police will be interested just because a few keyboard warriors disappear. Well, it''s just a personal opinion. There will not be enough manpower to focus all our attention on the tower right now. If it was a disappearance rather than a murder, it would be far behind the priorities. It''s a way to think about it. You don''t even have to tell them all that. Because that area was Park Hana''s area of expertise. After breaking up with Park Ha-na, Jin-hyeok headed straight for the starting point. As I passed the gate, I saw the familiar scenery of Seoul. Oh. I''m not completely used to it. Because there was a huge electric billboard right in front of the gate. [[Ah, did you hear that? A week later, in attacking the 3rd floor boss monster, ''Dangun'' as a representative of Korea] It is said that the guild is moving.] [Five! If it''s Dangun, it''s the number one guild in Korea.] [Yes. After all, Europe and Japan have failed after the US, so expectations are on Korea.] [It would be great if the Chinese side would do the same, but are they still silent?] [That''s right. This is because various interests are intertwined, so it is a situation in which each country moves rather than cooperation. Now that this has happened, I think we should find a way to break through with our own strength rather than expecting help from other countries.] [If it''s a Dangun guild, I think I can do it on my own.] On the billboard, things about the tower were being Treasured Sword. Attack the 3rd floor boss monster... . It has risen a lot in one month. ''Wow. Did you already have only the 3rd floor boss left? Humanity too!'' This is not a good meaning. The condition is to reach the next floor within 90 days. In other words, there was no need to go to the second floor, let alone the third floor at this point. However. ''I''m already going to the fourth floor.'' Because I covet the numerous resources that exist in the tower. Rather than raising the level and growing step by step, he chose to climb quickly. ''It''s really... . If you don''t have the skills, how much do you want to regret later?'' It is possible to climb quickly now, but the higher you climb, the tighter the time will be. The basics are poor, but the difficulty goes up? The pressure of 90 days will come closer and stronger. Because this wasn''t something that could be re-challenged like a game. ''Anyway, I''ll take the first clear. It''s speed control, I guess I can do it to my taste.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes turned to the electronic display board again. Tomorrow it will be all over there with stories about Park Hana. It was for this reason that he conceded the Hall of Fame. excessive attention. This is a double-edged sword. If you get recognition and secure your place, no one will touch you... . It was most likely to become a stumbling block to the most important early growth. for mankind. for the country. for others. If individual efforts are fading in the name of public interest. That is the tyranny of the majority and a disgusting pretense. Although vain hogus or nerds who are obsessed with hero games may be caught. I am not ''First, let''s gather some information that happened during the month.'' It is also possible through the internet. But to get quality information in a place full of kadera and misinformation . well. It will cost several times the time and effort. There''s a better way than that. Jinhyuk [Tower of Trials] connected to the community. Numerous categories and articles filled the screen. You have to find one of them. A player I''ve been keeping an eye on since I was in the labyrinth. ''Where are you?'' Jinhyuk''s eyes moved quickly. Finding one of these many people was similar to ''Find Wally''. However, Jinhyuk began to search efficiently by selecting places with high potential. [Today''s Popular Posts, ] [Hall of Fame, ] [Hot tip bulletin board .] And finally. ''found.'' A familiar name stood out. [Human bald man / Member since: August 13, 2007 / Details: Undisclosed] If you look at the date you joined the community, it must be that person. Human bald man. it was still there Jin Hyuk Eun [Logged in with the ID you used to play Tower of Trials.] ''Colonel Timo''. It was the ID that I signed up for on July 1, 2007. It was nice to be back after a long time. Nice to meet you... . ''Damn, why the hell did you have a name like this 11 years ago? There are many cool things, right?'' Cheongcho ([), swordsman (), warrior god (), etc. Wherever I go, things I can say proudly. But why? At that time, I was obsessed with Timo, who was fluffy and scratched the inside of his opponent. It was an irreversible mistake. Still, one thing is certain. Human bald man. Better than that guy. -Colonel Timo: Hello, Indaenam. do you remember me ''Are there really going to be an answer?'' We went together once, but anyway, that was a thing of the past. It could have been ignored for now. I might have ate it at all. That was when I was thinking. -Human bald man: Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Captain Timothy! It''s been a really long time! The answer came faster than expected. ''You seem to remember.'' It''s been 7 years since I last saw you... . Jinhyuk''s chest was touched for some reason. -Human bald man: Wow. But why didn''t you reply to a whisper or a note until now? I''ve been sending you since the first day to find Timo. -Colonel Timothy: Oh, I''ve been a little busy for a month. -Human bald man: Haha, no, no matter what. Have you ever been on a deserted island? -Colonel Timothy: Well, we were in a similar place. called a labyrinth. I have been struggling to die for a month. Of course, there is bound to be an information gap. I was happy though. I have someone who can give you the latest information. If you are a human bald man, you must know more about the Tower of Trials than anyone else. All you have to do is ask this person. -Colonel Timothy: It''s like we keep talking in a whisper. I would like to meet you in person. Do you have time? -Human bald man: Oh, of course! But, I was going to meet up with that Bulgwangdong Nuclear Fist, can the three of us watch it together? Another unexpected nickname popped up. Fire Gwangdong Nuclear Fist. Did you decide to meet that person too? ''completely [Tower of Trials] It''s like having a first kiss, right?'' I''m curious. To actually meet the dead characters you''ve only seen in the game. The worries didn''t last long. -Colonel Timo: Please come to the entrance to the Tower of Trials. I''m going to go to the cafe. Jinhyuk answered briefly. A private cafe with few people coming and going. Jinhyuk took a seat at the very end of them all. Maybe 30 minutes have passed since we spent time sipping a cold chocolate latte? rumble. The door opened and two men and women entered. You can tell without even checking. The fact that they are human bald men and bulgwangdong nuclear fists. As if the other party recognized him as well, he approached me right away. Hello. I''m a human bald man! Just over 170cm tall. The man with curly perm hair and white skin smiled brightly. looks pretty cute Is it a typical sentiment? In the game, the bald black man matched the look with leopard print panties, bee tails, and butterfly wings, and he was really . ''under. Isn''t this the guy who shouted out that Cesco came after this guy set fire to the worm labyrinth?'' [Your blood pressure has risen.] [There is a risk of abnormal status.] To agree. Because it really felt like my cheeks were tingling. At that time, the woman on the other side also introduced herself. It''s a bulgwangdong nuclear fist. She is tall, over 167cm tall, and has shaggy skin that looks healthy. His long straight hair was the perfect match for his sportswear. This person is obviously . A fat white man was wearing a floral tube and boxing gloves on his waist and fists, respectively. no doubt It was because the image of the Bulgwangdong Nuclear Fist who cried out ''There is no mercy in my fists'' was vividly etched in my mind. It was amazing. yea that''s the way it is Of course, I thought I would meet some older, bearded men. ''By the way, these are normal people? no. In another sense, they both stand out too much, right?'' Jinhyuk stuttered and opened his mouth. T...it''s Colonel Mo. I forgot. The fact that the more crazy the deceased in the game, the perfectly fine in reality. CH 15 tower''s dead (2) The introduction of each other followed with the sound of the ice crackling in the coffee. The human bald man''s real name is Lee Tae-min. He was a student at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Korea University. ''No, then what? Did you play games like that when you were in high school and then went to Korea University?'' A place where it is difficult for others to enter even if they study for 10 hours a day? This guy is great too. In many senses. ''Shall we take a look at what kind of abilities the smart Gongdol got?'' Jinhyuk, who was kicking his tongue, activated the ''eyes of truth''. Name: Lee Taemin Gender: Male Age: 23 Level: 11 Strength 13 Dexterity 15 Stamina 16 mana 21 Stat Points you have: 0 Coins held: 2,500 Occupation: None Unique Ability: Machine Lord skill: Lv2 ''Sandbox Mode'', Lv2 ''Direction'', Lv2 ''Hacking'' ''Yeah, I got this.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. machine lord. It is a unique ability that is specialized for anti-military rather than anti-personnel. In the past, even in the Tower of Trials, a human bald man, Lee Tae-min used this to enjoy wide-area hunting. A well-balanced type of karate. Except for the large mana consumption, it''s an undeniable ability. Then... . Jinhyuk''s gaze moved to the side. I could see the face of a woman who had been active as a bulgwangdong nuclear fist. My real name is Yoo Yeon-hwa. I didn''t know it when I first heard the name. Which family does Yoo Yeon-hwa belong to? However, it was only after the introductions that I knew who she was. Yoo Cheon-young. A living legend in the martial arts world that shocked the world with Taekwondo perfectly put into practice. Yoo Yeon-hwa was that Eccentric granddaughter. ''It''s the only granddaughter that doesn''t hurt even if you put it in your eyes.'' Even in the Tower of Trials, I used to beat giants over 7m tall with my bare hands. Seeing this, it was natural. Because she had the same blood as Yoo Chun-young in her veins. Jinhyuk once again activated the ''eyes of truth''. Name: Flexibility Gender: Female Age: 25 Level: 12 Strength 25 Dexterity 22 Stamina 17 mana 5 Stat Points you have: 0 Coins held: 4,775 Occupation: None Unique Ability: Geukjin Taekwondo (ȭ) skill: Lv3 ''Taecheong Hwarang''s Mind Law'', Lv2 ''Immortal Warfare'', Lv2 ''Mana Enhancement'' ''This is also quite interesting.'' Super close-range tanker and dealer. The Fire Gwangdong Core Fist is a composition of unique abilities and skills that properly value the nick. Seeing that the level was raised similarly, the two must have been hunting together. Well, the two of us got along well in the past. [Copy conditions: The two are longtime colleagues. When three people reach the 20th floor of the tower, players can copy Taemin Lee and Yoo Yeonhwa''s abilities.] Jinhyeok, who read the copy conditions, nodded his head. Is it because of the abilities of the deceased among the deceased, it cannot be copied easily? ''It will be difficult for a while.'' But, it doesn''t matter. After all, the three of us here will somehow reach the 20th floor. That was then. Hyung. What are you doing? It''s your turn. Taemin Lee, who was in the front seat, tilted his head. Jinhyeok, who nodded his head looking into the air, seemed strange because he did not know the existence of the ''eyes of truth''. My name is Jinhyuk Kang. I am 27 years old and I used to be a BJ on Paprika TV. Oh! hyung was BJ? If it''s paprika, I''ve seen it sometimes too! Games? Mukbang? Ah, hyung is handsome, so it may have been a male cam. Taemin smiled as he approached me. No matter how much we worked together in the game, today was the first time we actually met. But I didn''t feel the slightest bit of caution. Yeah, I''ve quit now. A. Take it easy, hyung. We haven''t seen each other in a game for a day or two. That''s right. We''re more comfortable on that side. Flexibility also helped a bit. Both of them were not friendly. ''I was also living in BJ, so I thought that the affinity wouldn''t be pushed anywhere.'' No, maybe it''s because I''ve only been hanging out with people who want to hit the back of the head all this time, so I''ve built more walls. weighing the profits. A month of relentlessly sticking a knife in my neck according to need. I took it for granted, so this kind of intimacy felt awkward. ''Comrade... . It''s been a while since I''ve heard it.'' Jinhyuk smiled and nodded his head. Okay. I''ll make it easier for you. As the awkwardness subsided, the three of them moved on. This was the result of what Jinhyuk actively argued. The fragrant coffee isn''t bad either... . What? There were a lot more things I wanted to eat than that. So I found a restaurant famous for pork belly and miso soup. I felt like I was going to cry when I saw the stew filled with thick, golden meat and tofu. ''It''s completely different from moss and mushrooms.'' in the novel. Often, there are scenes where returnees who have returned from living in another world for hundreds or thousands of years cry while eating Korean food. But in reality it doesn''t take that long. Because it was human nature to sell the soul with one Choco Pie if you put it in the mountains for a month and feed it grass. Suddenly, I remembered the training camp. Memories of Sunday when religion changed depending on whether it was Choco Pie or Monshell. Oh! Come to think of it . Another thing I wanted to eat came to mind. There was Vera down here, how about getting some ice cream for dessert? Ice Cream Call! My brother and sister are here. I''ll buy them. But, what kind of taste? Taemin Lee got up halfway from his seat. Mint chocolate. Jinhyuk answered without hesitation. Then the two frowned. Ugh, that toothpaste flavored ice cream? Oppa, likes and dislikes differed a lot. It''s like brushing your teeth while eating. These children... . You don''t know the combination of fresh mint and sweet chocolate. I don''t know anything else, but I can''t let this go. Don''t curse mint chocolate again. Because it was grassroots that had a concrete support layer that was harder than any other flavor. While eating, Jinhyuk heard from the two of them about what had happened during the month. Interests surrounding the birth of various guilds and the tower''s resources. Each country''s policies and coin trends, etc. It was an important piece of information not to be missed. You know, brother. [ When I played Tower of Trials, most of the guilds regrouped. ] Taemin moved his fingers lightly. OK. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo [Lee Tae-min activates Lv2 ''Sandbox Mode''.] Seven patterns appeared in the air. Everything you''ve seen America''s ''Titan'', Europe''s ''Olympus'', China''s ''Chinese'' And ''Samurai'' in Japan and ''Gandara'' in India. Finally, Korea''s ''Dangun'' and ''Father of Fighting''. It was the symbol of the guilds that represented the world. Yoo Yeon-hwa also looked at the pattern and nodded slightly. Everyone must know. It is advantageous to monopolize information among existing members. That''s right. At least the players in that guild weren''t stupid. We will not accept additional members, nor will we release advanced information that we know of. How about the BJs? There must be some people who collect coins while working as a freelancer? Taemin''s face darkened slightly at Jinhyuk''s question. Yes. Celebrities who have been active in the past are plundering the number of views from the viewers with their names in front. Besides, this is only a rumor, but it seems that there are some guys who are trying to operate the coin factory we did. They say it''s a group called ''Main''. It''s all the rage in the news these days. ...that''s crazy. That''s right. If caught, it''s life imprisonment. coin factory. In a word, it is a studio that forces people to watch a specific person''s video in order to get the number of views. In the past, it didn''t matter because NPCs took over that role in games. Not now. If people were locked up in a factory or something and only coins were pulled out every month, the government wouldn''t stand still. However, Jinhyuk was sure that Lee Taemin''s words were not just rumors. The world has changed. Common sense previously known has been shattered. This means that the future should never be judged by the standards of the past. In that sense, I should warn you. About that guy, both of you should know. If the two of you go together, the chances of getting beaten up are low, but let''s talk about it for now. Jinhyuk slowly opened his mouth. I met a knife-man about a month ago. Ugh!? That leech? This time, both answered at the same time. hey, tell me a little bit Everyone in the restaurant is staring at you. But the barrage of questions continued as if he didn''t even care about such a thing. Where, where? Oppa. That person, even in real life, take out a knife? Swordseong (). He is a ranker who uses barriers to his swordsmanship that is said to be terrifying. [We used to meet often when we were doing Tower of Trials.] There was no dialogue at all, and they started attacking and watching. Of course, every time I took a picture and pressed it. So desperate that I will never be able to fight again. Have you killed more than a hundred times? Ordinary people would give up. The question is whether this guy has a sense of purpose or a sense of rivalry... . He fell into a strange delusion and followed us to death. ''Behind me to be exact.'' It''s not a joke, it was aimed at eating or sleeping, as well as going to the bathroom, so of course you can''t help but tremble. It wasn''t face-to-face. When I went, it was after he disappeared from the National Museum of Korea with the ''Iron Sword with Qianlong (Ǭ¡)''. That guy was also looking for a replica... No, wait. So, did you go there too? Heard it was a total hell? I''ve felt it for a long time, but you have a really strong heart. How did you get all the thoughts of going there? I went because I had something to bring. Anyway, be careful, you too. You won''t be able to tell just by your appearance, but you''ll recognize it right away if you look at your unique abilities and skills. This is why it is a double-edged sword to bring back the abilities that were used in the past. While it has the advantage of being familiar with it, at the same time, it was like a fingerprint representing the player. Yes. Thanks for letting me know. Uh-huh. You should be careful. I don''t know about you, but we''re both a little scared to be honest... Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa let out a small sigh. It seemed that the terrible memories of the past were flashing back and forth. At this point, it seems that the information exchange is almost complete, Are you going to wake up slowly today? Jinhyuk tilted his chair back. One minute and one second is a disappointment. Eating and drinking should be enough. Huh? Already? Not already, it''s nine o''clock now. From tomorrow, you will have to climb the tower again. Besides, after a month, I wanted to take a hot bath and sleep in a proper bed. The two reluctantly got up from their seats. Brother, but. Didn''t you say you''ve been away for a month? Yes it was. So, you haven''t been tested, have you? test? what test? In response to Jinhyuk''s reaction, the two of them put on an expression that they knew it would be the same. That''s because from the second floor, the death toll increases, so only those who have passed the test in the Awakening Association can climb up. "It''s a way to give an authentication code , something like this." Yoo Yeon-hwa showed her wrist. It has a very faint barcode-like tattoo. hoo. look at this So, I''m going to stop the idiots from coming in. What, is this what you mean? If you put such a justification on the outside, you can definitely reduce your reluctance to take the test. To reduce the number of victims. What purpose could be higher than this? But that''s not the real purpose of the above. There is only one reason to take the test. To identify the hidden talents. ''Exactly, it must be to bring those talented people to their side.'' Suddenly, I remembered the day the Tower of Trials first appeared. ''Was it Han Sang-jin? What was the name of the man who introduced himself as president of the Awakened Society?'' I couldn''t forget the shallow excellent grade quality that was trying to gather players awakened through TV. Where is the test. Where is it? It was a good opportunity to see how much he has grown over the years. no. ''The sea I was hoping for.'' pounding! pounding! Jinhyuk''s heart began to beat faster, little by little. This system was created by the Awoken Association. There was a way to use it. ''In my favor.'' CH 16 Awakening Test (1) The next day, the three headed to the Seoul Arts Center, where the Awakened Association is located. The first thing that caught my eye was a 150-story skyscraper. Jinhyuk raised his head. I could see the end of the building touching the clouds. Is this meant to be constructed with the unique ability of the architecture field? I''ve heard of it, but it''s really great. You finished this in a month, right? This is the headquarters of the Awakened Society. It also hosts tests and handles all work related to the Tower of Trials. Wow. Come to think of it, it''s been three weeks already. My heart was trembling when I took the exam. Eh, are you kidding me? You''re going to beat King Kong with your bare hands, what. Why? Was the examiner scared when he saw your sister? Oh my. That''s what you said to me, Taemin-ah? Yoo Yeon-hwa smiled brightly. The eyes are smiling, but the corners of the mouth remain the same. That moment. creepy Goosebumps appeared on Jinhyuk and Lee Taemin''s skin. This . It''s similar to the pressure I felt when I first met the minotaur. Maybe I''m mistaken. Perhaps. " " Taemin also swallowed dry saliva. And quickly changed the subject. Ah! That''s right. If hyung gets a grade this time, why don''t the three of us join the same guild? Guild? What guild suddenly? ''Dangun'' and ''Father of Fighting'' don''t accept new recruits very well, but hyung or we should be able to pass it. To be honest, starting from the 15th floor, it''s impossible to attack without healers, buffs, and debuffs... Oh, did you mean that? Well, it wasn''t the only time in the past that a small number of people entered a labyrinth or ruins and annihilated them. No matter how tall you are, the higher you go, the more you will hit the limit of numbers. The two decided that it would be efficient to grow with strong supporters. ''Ttttttt.'' Jinhyuk clicked his tongue inwardly. ''So it''s not that I failed to climb the tower.'' Experience. item. Hidden Piece. I''m busy eating it all alone, but if I''m with my co-workers, I have to share it all, right? It was enough for others who could use it and throw it away if they were to be together. "I think it should be clear at this point, but I have no intention of belonging to any guild." Being tied down is just disgusting. Especially if the higher guilds are instructing them to do this and that. So. Hyung, me and Yeonhwa noona, are you going as the three of us? No, even if you do, the efficiency will drop as well. It is not worth sharing with the three of us. Best way... . In principle, each of us should move separately, but let''s only do it together in a certain section. The two of you must have worked together, so I won''t stop that, but I''m more comfortable being alone. yes this is the best "Three, three are difficult, but even that goes separately?" Hyung, isn''t it too dangerous? They both looked incredulous. yea that''s the way it is Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa are the deceased who climbed the Tower of Trials to the 20th floor. This means that a significant amount of time and effort has been invested. So I knew better than anyone. No matter how low-level it is, a solo is no less than an act of suicide. But there was something that even those two didn''t know. That there is a class even among the deceased. And . The fact that there is a player who wanders alone in Mangem, where everyone has left, and has seen the end in the end. Let''s take the test first. We should go before there are more people. Jinhyuk smiled and headed towards the building. Uh...? Uh huh. "That it should be." Behind him, two men with sullen faces followed. Come on, everyone who came, please take a numbered ticket and wait for your turn! The D-09 group test is coming soon, so please go to the test center if you qualify! Even though it was a weekday, the inside was crowded with people who came to take the test. Indeed, it seems that the seduction possessed by T.O.P is great. Seeing how many people have been deceived. Please, please, get some good grades. I don''t want to get to D-grade. Even E-grade, please. "If only you can get into the top 10 guilds, your life will bloom " I want to sign a direct contract with the Awakened Association. Isn''t that good? Just wear your civil service card around your neck and be proud. If you get a grade of F or lower, you will be deprived of even the opportunity to go to the second floor, let alone a higher-level guild. Therefore, everyone prayed earnestly with the hope of winning the lottery. himself. I want myself to be different from others. sure. Jinhyuk''s eyes looking at them were cold. ''Those guys won''t survive a month even if they enter the tower.'' At best, it was obvious that he would become a loser who stayed on that floor, compromising with reality. No, I''d rather be aware of the fraction and be quiet. It''s because it hurts even more if you grab your ankle while stepping out clumsily. Jinhyuk turned his gaze and pulled out a numbered ticket. [E-01 group] ''It is worthwhile to come early.'' Currently, group D is about half way through. You''ll only have to wait an hour or so. But what day is it today? It seems like there are too many reporters than usual? Taemin looked around and tilted his head. At the very least, dozens of reporters were waiting for someone with their cameras. They looked like dogs that were anxious to see their whole body pounding nervously. Yeah. That''s a bit odd. He added a word as if he was affirming flexibility. At the most, maybe four or five people. Unless a promising prospect from a large guild came, there was no chance that a reporter of this size would gather. Are there any unknown events? the moment I thought. Whoops! Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance. A group of people entered the building with the sound of someone yelling. Hana Park! It''s Hana Park from the Black Crow Guild! Park Hana. How could you not know? A rookie who has heated up the media and the Internet through the Hall of Fame. Wow. Is that woman Hana Park? Did she enter the labyrinth and survive on the first day? ...I''m tired. I''ve been watching the View Tube in a row, I''m sure I''ll see it in person today. Next to him is Ha-jin Park. I heard that you had a deal with the Chinese side a while ago. All facets. Besides Park Ha-na and Park Ha-jin, there was another person who caught people''s attention at once. "Oh my gosh, there''s also Kim Ki-tae from the Fathers to Fight Guild!" chwachwachwa chow chow! Camera flashes went off everywhere. One of the seven largest guilds in the world and the second largest guild in Korea, Brawlavi. And up to the ranker, the executive level there. Don''t miss a single scene! Front shot. Take a composition with three people together! Journalists were thrilled. No, I couldn''t help but be excited. Because this scoop was more than enough to decorate the first page. Whoa. Huge size, approaching 190 cm. Kim Ki-tae lowered his sunglasses and let out an annoyed sigh. Why are people so busy here? Now dogs and cows are all being tested. What? It seems that more and more people are dreaming of making a lot of money. Why, in the world these days, the number of people who believe that the tower is the only opportunity to raise their status has increased. Park Ha-jin answered immediately. Anyway, the insects want to suck the honey again. Don''t you know that struggling for a hundred days is no use? Well, if I had known, I wouldn''t have even tried it in the first place. Knowing the fountain, you will live crumpled. By the way, do well today. It''s all because of your brothers and sisters who came all the way here on purpose, but if you make a mistake... you know? No, of course. Don''t worry...don''t worry. I''ll do well. Ha-jin Park and Ha-na Park nodded their heads. It is a golden copper cord that I barely caught. somehow. whatever number you use. It must be successful at the box office. And the plan had already been perfected. I''m running out of time, so get rid of the people in line. Reporters are waiting, too, so I can''t stay here for hours. Park Ha-jin nodded towards the giants next to him. OK. Let''s clear the road. Hey, can''t you see people passing by? Stick from side to side. Left and right! Move quickly. Don''t stumble and stumble. The players who belonged to the Black Crow Guild broke the line. The road split like Moses parted the Red Sea. There was no one there to complain about. greatness! Where did you put the documents that you organized your personal information... Even the Awakened Association officials turned their eyes away and looked away. This is the reality. The sign of the upper guild is above the law or rule. By the way. The steps of the giants came to a standstill. Three people were blocking the road without getting out of the way. To be precise, two people who dissuade and one person who holds up. In particular, the one who was holding out was slowly sipping the ice water from the bottle of water. What are you? Didn''t you hear Vicky? Vicky? Why me? Jinhyuk tilted his head. No, seriously. I took a numbered ticket and waited for my turn, why is it called Vicky? If you had just come, you would have been assigned to group F, right? ''Ah, maybe... .'' As if remembering something, Jinhyuk shoved the number plate into his face. That''s called the American alphabet... It starts with A, B, C, D. Then E. Then F. If you don''t know, memorize it right now. Yes, you may not know the order. I usually learn from elementary school. My heart swells. ''I''m sorry.'' Do you have a difficult family history? Nu, who doesn''t know that, so ask! The giant''s face turned red. Fuck! What is this, eye level education? A roar of laughter rang out from the utter nonsense. " " Kim Ki-tae, who was watching, frowned, but did not step forward. It''s like you''re trying to figure something out on your own. at last. Sheesh, you assholes. Get out of the way! Park Ha-jin, who was behind him, came out. I don''t know what he''s doing, but he''s making a mistake now. It''s not too late yet, so get out of the way. Intimidation is once cruel. ''Is this the guy Park Hana was talking about?'' Looking at his eyes, he doesn''t seem to have any hesitation in actually killing a person. It''s fun. How could it be that siblings are not able to understand the subject so much? It''s all good, but can we talk from a distance? My eyes are burning because of the bad breath. Jinhyuk frowned while holding his nose with his hand. Tongue, bro? Lee Tae-min was startled and grabbed Jin-hyuk''s wrist. Brother! Why? What surprised me was the flexibility as well. crazy! Am I right? That person right now. To Park Ha-jin... I was determined to die. Are you crazy? Even those who were watching opened their mouths wide. sure. What surprised me the most was Ha-jin Park. "What are you now?" The blood disappeared from Park Ha-jin''s face. Is it a dumpling hanging over the neck, not the head? Just breathing seems to pollute the air, so it means to put your teeth up and down. Jinhyuk smiled brightly and wrapped the words in a prettier way. It''s a bonus to have a ribbon attached to the poop. You bastard. Hey. Can you handle this? If you think that you can''t touch it just because you see so many eyes... Ah, no way. What are they afraid of if they aren''t the Brawler''s Guild? "It''s nothing if it''s not the Brawl Fathers Guild?" Isn''t that right? It''s the fathers who fight well in Korea. Are you guys? And. Jinhyuk shrugged and continued. What''s the name of a black crow? A black crow? Nor is there a white crow. By any chance, where is the hat? Or maybe a poet or a literary boy? There, such as ambivalent expressions were allowed. Whatever it is, I can''t understand the naming sense. Hey! This worm-like bastard! He really wanted to die! Park Ha-jin stretched out her hand with a sword as if there was nothing to see. certainly . Did you start first? In an instant, the air suddenly changed. Cold enough to give you goosebumps all over your body. CH 17 Awakening Test (2) Name: Park Ha-jin Gender: Male Age: 26 Level: 8 Strength 16 Dexterity 15 Stamina 16 mana 12 Stat Points you have: 0 Coins held: 1,580 Occupation: None Unique Ability: Deadly Assault skill: Lv3 ''Acceleration ()'', Lv2 ''Stealth ([)'', Lv2 ''Shallow breathing'' I have already checked Park Ha-jin''s status window through ''Eyes of Truth''. An assassination series that received a strong evaluation in one-on-one situations. In particular, ''shallow breathing'' was a very coveted ability. ''It''s a passive skill that can complement long-term battles.'' definitely worth using So it was provoked. [Copy condition: If you increase the friendliness with the target to the maximum, you can copy the ''unique ability'', and if you increase the hostility with the target to the maximum, you can copy the ''one of your desired skills''] just to satisfy this condition. ''It''s not that difficult to raise hostility.'' The corner of Jinhyuk''s mouth went up. On the other hand, Park Ha-jin''s face, seeing it, was terribly distorted. "Does this bastard laugh in this situation?" Sreung! But when the sword is about to be drawn. Jinhyuk moved quickly in half a beat. He held out the bottle of water he was holding in front of him. ???????????????????? The sprayed water covered Ha-jin Park''s face. What? Park Ha-jin closed her eyes involuntarily. time of less than 1 second. But the brief time in battle was fatal. The sword drawn late cut through the air. Of course, what should have been bleeding and screaming was long gone. I don''t feel the taste. Something is wrong. The moment I had that thought. Throb! He felt a sharp pain in Park Ha-jin''s thigh. swaying Aww! body collapsed Park Ha-jin grabbed her thigh and rolled over on the ground. A strike that aimed for the RBI so quickly and accurately. For the time being, it will be difficult to even stand up, let alone fight. Well, what happened? Did you attack alone and fall alone? Is the staff twisted? absurd mistake. unexpected luck. That''s what it looked like to those who didn''t know Of the hundreds of people, only three were able to properly grasp the movement a little while ago. Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa, who followed Jin-hyuk. And there was only Kim Ki-tae from the Fight Against Guild. ''I knew he was older than us, but is this crazy?'' Taemin swallowed dry saliva. Also the timing of making a surprise attack. The timing to use that gap to dig into a square is also perfect. It looked fine on the outside, but it was unmistakable. That Park Ha-jin''s legs aren''t normal right now. Of course, you may not even know how serious the injury was. Uh... A sad sigh escaped Yoo Yeon-hwa''s mouth. This is because the appearance of being completely harassed overlapped with the image of himself sparring with his grandfather in the past. ''No, it''s worse.'' At that time, there was even a purpose of training. But now. There is nothing to learn from the victim position. Because I just took a picture and pressed it. ''What, what?'' Park Ha-jin did not understand this situation at all. Obviously, it was that guy who should have been lying on the floor. But why... . Did you feel the cold touch of marble on your cheek? Damn it! profanity came out of his mouth. How dare you do something like this while Ki-tae Kim is watching you. No matter how careless he was, it was an irreversible mistake. "This bastard is a real bastard." Park Ha-jin tried to get up from her seat. But, just then. A strong feeling of pressure pressed down on his neck. Uduk! Huh? Your neck is broken. You are lying face down. Jinhyuk looked down at Park Ha-jin from above. Kek! Keek! Feet... Feet! Don''t you clean it? Park Ha-jin struggled. He tried to shake it off right away, but somehow, his opponent''s leg didn''t even move. Oh, brother! It was then that Park Hana''s voice was heard. Hearing the noise, he ran to the front. What kind of bastard! Park Ha-na stared at the person who attacked her own blood and flesh with her young eyes. But as soon as their eyes meet the subject. Rumble. My whole body began to tremble like an aspen. Uh, huh? A person I never wanted to meet. There is a devil in front of me that I couldn''t even dare to look at. Hey, I didn''t expect to see you so quickly. Intern. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. "Wow, why did you come here ?" Why, I''m here for the test. I''m in a bad mood because of someone who cuts me off and makes a lot of noise. Jinhyuk put a little more weight on his feet. Turn it off! Park Ha-jin, who had been wriggling, became calm. It''s a little quieter now. ''Aren''t the copy conditions not completed yet?'' I thought that this was enough to bring the hostility to the max. Apparently, the conditions the system wanted were more demanding than I thought. ''I can''t. The only choice is to push harder.'' That was when I was thinking. Do that. He felt a heavy pressure on Jinhyuk''s shoulder. It was Kim Ki-tae. [''Eye of Truth'' is activated!] [The skill activation is canceled because the level difference has exceeded a certain level!] I can''t see the status window with my eyes. I mean yes. ''It means that at least level 20 is over.'' The advantage of being able to monopolize the hunting ground and drive hunting. This was the reason why you and I wanted to join a large guild. Jinhyuk looked at the hand holding his shoulder for a moment. And he mumbled like a self-talk. ...I didn''t know. What did you not know? I didn''t know this guy would have a nanny. It was a provocative statement, but there was no change in Kim Ki-tae''s expression. He''s a hard worker, but he can''t do it. This guy has some useful points in his own way. It''s a good spot... Jinhyuk smirked. Is that because we have a route to supply ''Korean ginseng'' to China? what? Unlike before, this time Kim Ki-tae''s expression changed noticeably. pupils where earthquakes occur. Besides, even the hand holding the shoulder was trembling slightly. How do you know that? You''re asking the wrong question. I''m not asking how you know that. If you know that much information. If anyone knows that kind of information. if. We should ask if it can solve the side effects of Korean ginseng. As soon as Jinhyuk finished his words. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo [Kim Ki-tae activates Lv3 ''Blackout Barrier (ĻY)''!] A transparent curtain was opened. Ha-jin Park, Hana Park, and everyone around them disappeared. In a world cut off from the outside world, Kim Ki-tae looked directly at Jin-hyuk. "You what the hell is it? Do you know all that?" It was interesting at first. Because the newb who was just being tested was playing with Ha-jin Park. He even admired the movement without waste. However, as Jinhyuk''s remarks continued, his interest soon turned into an uncomfortable curiosity. In the end, it turned into a strong hostility. I had no choice but to do so. Interest is... I know too much. too many things I think the question is wrong again this time. Jinhyuk shrugged. It doesn''t matter what or how I know. I should have asked if I could exchange what I knew. This is not a hearing. Only the results matter. The motive or process is irrelevant. You want to exchange? Yeah. Aren''t you also trying to reduce the side effects on your side anyway? Kim Ki-tae closed his lips as if he had been stabbed. But it was only for a while. You''re talking as if you had prepared this deal in advance. improvised... There are too many things to consider. A stage prepared by knowing the target in advance. Only when you think that way is the front and back right. Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders instead of affirmatively. That''s right. Actually, I knew you''d be here. Yesterday, as soon as I heard from Taemin Lee that it was a test, I made a hypothesis. Best place to showcase yourself. Park Hana, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame and raised the stock price, will not miss this. Of course, it will come as soon as the sun rises. Of course, with Park Ha-jin, who is anxious about the growth of the guild. But it doesn''t end here. Will Park Ha-jin, who wants a connection, come alone? No way. I must have wanted to attract the guys upstairs somehow. Of course, the other side wouldn''t want to blow away the opportunity to promote it extensively in the media. Consolidation of Interests. So I was sure Dangun or father to fight. At least one of the two will come from an executive level. ''It''s a probability that the fight for the first place in the second place was expected to be higher.'' That prediction was exactly right. ...if what you say is true. Do you have any proof? Anyone can say anything. evidence? Of course it is. If you take Korean ginseng raw, symptoms of mana poisoning will occur. Of course, if you adjust the dose or use the ''Purification water'' on the second floor, you can alleviate the symptoms, but it is not a fundamental solution. therefore? I need a total of three items. Jinhyuk spread out three fingers. The juice of Karasian. Moonstone. The roots of Mandragora. The first two are available on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the tower, so it doesn''t matter, but the problem is, you don''t know where the roots of the last Mandragora are? match The combination book obtained by the research team and explorers who are currently affiliated with the Brawl''s Father Guild and what this man said. Although two of the three materials were easily obtained. Only one. There was no way to save Mandragora''s roots. He couldn''t even figure out which floor he was on. ''If you see that you know the recipe and the types of ingredients... That''s true.'' It means that you have the minimum requirements to make a transaction. The worries didn''t last long. Okay. I''ll pass on your words. But. At that moment, the sword that was on Kim Ki-tae''s waist exploded. Sreung! It is so fast that it cannot be compared with Park Ha-jin. The tip of the sword that reached in front of Jinhyuk''s nose gave off his anticipation. Be prepared if you''re calling for a clumsy Excellent grade. If you''re calling for excellent grade, be prepared? Yeah. At that time, you won''t be able to get past this kind of talk. this Oh yeah. I guess there was a bit of a misunderstanding. Jinhyuk scratched his head. At the same time, a slow-moving hand grabbed the blade. I don''t think of a bell, so I don''t have to hold it in my hand. Kim Ki-tae smiled. right then Whoops! [Lv2 ''Element of Fire'' is activated!] [Due to the level difference with the target, the stat ''Gap'' is activated!] The flames are flickering. The blade burned red. The heat is too hot for the skin to bear. Even moisture in the air began to evaporate rapidly. what? Kim Ki-tae hurriedly tried to draw the sword, but it was already too late. Kak! Suddenly, a red dagger was held in Jinhyuk''s opposite hand. trajectory drawn transversely. Thin gold was drawn on Kim Ki-tae''s blade. Too weak to be called a crack. However, it is a line without the slightest disturbance. That moment. Tuk! The blade cut in half fell to the floor. ''Are you saying you cut down a weapon that even strengthened it?'' in one shot? ''That''s absurd... !'' Kim Ki-tae looked at the blade and handle of the sword with a blank expression. Obviously, your opponent is a player who will only be one-digit level. But what do you mean? This atrocious force that tightens the whole body. It''s like, level doesn''t mean anything. Instinct has sent the highest warning. Jinhyuk opened his mouth. Don''t get me wrong. I''m the one making the offer. I''m the one giving the chance. A voice that was colder than ever came out. I''m doing this kind of annoying thing because it''s a waste of time to even tug-of-war with you guys. Right now, you have to go to the ''ruins'' on the first floor. Because I spent a month in the labyrinth for that. However, if someone who doesn''t understand the subject barks at him, I''m thinking of giving him some time. "Remember, you are the one." right here. If I had a clumsy Excellent grade... draw a line "That the entire guild could be destroyed." There is only one warning. CH 18 Awakening Test (3) At Jinhyuk''s words, Kim Ki-tae flinched. "On your own you''re going to face the whole guild?" It is arrogance and arrogance. In the beginning, a guild was a group that came together to overcome the limitations of a single individual. Isn''t it a very large guild located in the 2nd place in Korea to fight father? If you came here to take the test, your level would have been lower... It''s low. Because it''s still level 1. It''s ridiculous. But do you really think so? The average level of the upper ranks of the Brawler''s Guild is 20 or higher. There are even more than ten players stronger than Ki-Tae Kim. However. If you''re trying to judge everything by just level, you''re completely wrong about the Tower of Trials. Jinhyuk''s voice still had no highs and lows. ''Were you serious?'' Kim Ki-tae swallowed dry saliva. That''s not a lie. It was something I could do with myself. Of course, you can''t actually beat a guild with hundreds of people to fight for. at least. ''Stronger than me.'' That one thing was certain. Kim Ki-tae, who had kept his mouth shut, opened his mouth. Exchange terms are... Huh? What are the terms of the exchange? seems to have made a decision. towards making a deal. It''s simple. I''ll tell you where to find Mandragora, so get over 10 of the exclusive dungeons owned by Brawlavi. Exclusive Dungeon. Unlike general dungeons that anyone can enter, each guild has its own dungeon. Although the risk is low, the reward is a savory yolk. Because of this, each guild was in a state of being frantic to secure this exclusive dungeon. But give me 10 of them. This amount is equivalent to 30% of all exclusive dungeons owned by the Fight Against Guild. The price is outrageous. It''s the price for resolving the symptoms of mana addiction. Of course it''s expensive, isn''t it? Just look at the current price and don''t grumble. relatively compared. Ten dungeons and their relationship with China. Which of the two is more important to the father to fight? " " Kim Ki-tae''s head was spinning quickly. He cleared his emotions and chilled his head. And I started weighing gains and losses. 10 exclusive dungeons. It was a waste, but if you could find out the location of Mandragora, it wasn''t a loss-making business. The problem lies elsewhere. opponent''s existence. ''If only level 1 was this strong... .'' How the hell do you get stronger when you level up? afraid. Growth rate, potential, and even the future. entire. However, it was not up to Kim Ki-tae to decide all of this. It wasn''t a matter of light enough for just one person to decide. I''ll tell the guild executives. I''ll discuss the conditions you mentioned and give them an answer. It''s a wise decision. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. That ended the conversation between the two. [Lv3 ''Blackout Barrier (ĻY)'' is dismantled.] The transparent film disappeared with the message. I''m out! Oh oh oh oh! What happened? What were you talking about inside? When the two appeared, the anxiously waiting people poured out questions. Hey, put down the camera. Hey. Can''t you hear me? Put the camera away! If you don''t want to hear a song while crying out for freedom of the press, please return the film you took. I believe that everyone knows that the Awakened Special Act has been revised. The players belonging to the Black Crow Guild and the Father Guild to fight stopped the press. ''Oh. It''s pretty convenient.'' Thanks to this, I was less concerned about getting involved in troublesome things. I wanted it to end so quietly. Aww! Aww! With a roar, one of the giants fell to the floor. Did you even get hit orthodox by the ogre? The bridge of the nose completely collapsed. ''It must be very painful.'' Jinhyuk glanced at the direction in which he flew. Then I saw a woman in sportswear with her joints broken. Move away. All. If you don''t want to die. A player who made a name for himself with his bulgwangdong nuclear fist. It was flexible. And after that, I saw Taemin Lee. Oppa! Are you okay? If that''s what they said, just say it. I''ll throw it all over. Kim Ki-tae. It''s disappointing. I didn''t see it that way. What are you doing with the barrier open? The two showed strong hostility. At first, I was extremely reluctant to get into an argument with another guild... . As soon as the situation came up, I did not measure back and forth. It''s not a bad feeling. for me. Because I meant to give it to you on my side. ''From Yoo Yeon-hwa to Lee Tae-min... .'' Kim Ki-tae''s face hardened even more. I just thought they were friendly. Because there was no way two people who were quite famous on this floor would randomly form a network. But I hope it will go that far. This was not at the level where they knew each other. If you touch... . I felt the will to immortality until an all-out war. We just had a conversation. There''s nothing for you to worry about. Is that true? That''s right. He was a person who could communicate better than I thought. This time, Jinhyuk answered. If only my brother said that... I understand for now. It was then that Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min loosened the mana that had been pulled up. The tense air subsided. Kim Ki-tae, who was about to turn around, paused for a moment. And I looked at flexibility. Oh, I almost forgot. Are you all right, Chun-Young Yoo? Grandpa, you fly so you don''t have to worry about it. Hmm. Well, I see. If it''s an insider, that''s it. With a distorted smile, Kim Ki-tae hastened the path. On the other hand, Yoo Yeon-hwa bit her lips as if resentful. Each passed by each other. Then it was Park Ha-jin who became anxious. Come on. Wait a minute! Are you sure you''re sending them like that? I was just being humiliated, so I waited for a chance to get revenge. What do you mean by the sudden moodiness? Park Ha-jin couldn''t understand it. This time, it seemed that the congestion would go away if you were not vigilant and did your best to destroy the opponent. Leave it alone. I''m not someone like you who can do anything. Kim Ki-tae drew the line. Ha, but! However? "No no. I just wanted to get another chance " A chance? Yes, I gave you a chance. A chance for your head to be stuck on your neck. A chance not to die without knowing the subject and jumping on that monster. " " If you spit on my words again, then you''ll regret it. Keep in mind. Those who want to work with us are strong and thin. All right. Park Ha-jin bit her molars. It was an added bonus to stare at Jinhyuk as if to kill him. That moment. T-tiring! [The condition has been met.] [Successful to copy skill ''Shallow Breath (D)''!] [The copied skill is saved in ''Memory of the World''.] [Shallow Breath (Passive)] Acquisition Difficulty: D What it says: You can control your breathing volume and heart rate. (The limit varies depending on the skill level.) It seemed that hostility had risen to its maximum. Because I was abandoned by the person I wanted to look the best, I have no choice but to do it. But, that''s the guy''s case. ''Let''s put this to good use.'' Seeing Jinhyuk''s newly acquired passive skill, he smiled satisfactorily. After the chaos was cleared up, testing resumed. Of course, the number of applicants has drastically decreased. It was because the spirits of the students had been broken because the room was stirred so violently. Many of them took notice or gave up on the test, so the previous turn was messed up. In the end, only those who wanted to take the test on a first-come, first-served basis were allowed to proceed. [#1P Hana Park. Measured: 1755. Grade A] [2nd place: Han Min-hee. Measured: 989. Class B] [3rd place Oh Jeong-hoon. Measurements: 845. Class B-] [ ] .] ''Oh.'' Jinhyeok, who checked the electronic board, exclaimed a little. No matter what he did, Hana Park was in first place. It is also an overwhelming number. ''Did you even eat wild ginseng?'' Due to the trait of the test being conducted alone with the examiner in the room, I couldn''t figure out how to do it. It must have been a pretty funny joke. and just in time. The next one, please come in. It was Jinhyuk''s turn. Rumble! When I opened the door, a fairly large room appeared. A huge magic stone located in the center. Next to it was the Awoken Association examiner holding a tablet PC. Oh, hello. When the examiner saw Jinhyuk, he trembled. Maybe it''s because of something that happened a while ago. understand it I understand... . I''d like you to stop now and explain the test or something. What am I supposed to do? Ah, yes. All you have to do to test is hit the magic gem in front of you. You can use your own abilities or you can use items. The essence is the size of the potential that appears when you hit the magic gem. In a word, ''Grab the Magic Stone as much as you can and defeat it.'' Is it like this? ''It''s that simple.'' There was nothing difficult. Jinhyuk stood in front of Ma Jeongseok. And he pulled out a fortified dagger. It''s a dagger. Are you going to use it only as a weapon without using a unique ability? Yes. This is enough. Okay. You can start. As soon as the examiner finished speaking. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Mana began to flow along the sword. The tip of the sword trembled. With a bright red light like blood. right at that moment. Kaga! The sword that crossed like lightning scratched the surface of the magic crystal. A thin and long flaw appeared on the surface of the magic crystal. It is a blow with the right combination of speed and power. By the way. [#589 Kang Jin-hyuk. Measurements: 91. Grade F] The measurements displayed on the screen were too far-fetched. Good job, you''ve reached an F... The examiner read the number with a trembling expression. On the other hand. Jinhyuk laughed at the same result. No surprise. That why. There are clichs that are common in novels. The talented protagonist took the awakening test for the first time, but the clichd clich that an F grade floats. There are so many reasons that can be attached to it, such as a system error, a bad magic stone, etc., that it gets hit by a truck. I''ve been curious about it for a long time. Jinhyuk took a step forward. Why do you just accept the strange results and move on? If you get the right grade. Many of the main characters in the novel would have grown up much more quickly and smoothly. He must have been able to know all the areas, dungeons, information, etc. It was twisted from the beginning. However. I wouldn''t let the same thing happen in the real world I''m in. Hey, examiner teacher? I, did you call me? The examiner, who looked around his head, replied in surprise. My body trembled. yea that''s the way it is The scene where Jin-hyeok played with Park Ha-jin was still vivid in his eyes. As a low-level civil servant who only checked numbers in tests, it would be natural to feel fear. Are there any other examiners here besides you? Yes! Yep! No. Unfortunately, I am the only one. So, what can I do to help you? Magicstone, it seems strange, how about changing it? At least not lower-level, but at least intermediate-level. "A Magical Stone? Why is the Magical Stone that is all of a sudden..." It''s frustrating. See the cracks in the Magic Stone here? Jinhyuk pointed to the surface of the magic stone. It was faint, but there was definitely a single blade of sword left there. It''s ... it is. Magical Stone doesn''t even budge with any attacks. But, it did inflict a wound on it, so it''s an F-class? Do you think common sense makes sense? Does everyone live with their eyes as ornaments? Or are you deliberately pretending not to know? I do not know. Either way, it was equally frustrating. by the way. Are you still here? Jinhyuk frowned. Bar, I''ll prepare it right away! One minute. No, just 30 seconds, please. The examiner ran towards the warehouse as his tail fell out. CH 19 Awakening Test (4) After a while, a new Magic Stone was prepared. It is a huge, intermediate-grade magic stone that is blue in color. Wow, here ha ha ha ha. It''s done. The examiner gasped. It really takes less than a minute to get ready. I guess it was pretty scary. great. So, let''s get started. Jinhyuk took a stance while holding a dagger. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo When mana was injected, the sword was dyed red once again. ''There is no need to adjust the power.'' Previously, I had the situation in my hand moderately. Because there was no point in exerting all of my power on the lowest level magic crystals. [The stat ''Gap'' is activated to the maximum.] A thick mana transmitted through your fingertips. The corner of Jinhyuk''s mouth went up. Yeah, that''s it. ''Kang Kang Yak Kang (ǿǿǿ)''. A deceptive stat that is strong for the strong and strong for the weak. What is the result of hard work for a month from now? . It''s time to check it out with your own two eyes. Pants! A number of sparks were generated, and the blade swept through the side of the Magic Stone. Unbelievable. The examiner''s jaw trembled. A month after the Tower of Trials appears. In the meantime, many Awoken have come here to test. Most of them did not even possess the minimum mana required for magic crystals. Below F. In other words, you will be judged unqualified. Of course, a few selected among them were given ranks. I got the right to climb the tower proudly. But, nobody. Even the rankers who received the S rank. There was no one who cut down the whole magic stone. It''s a natural thing. This . Because it''s a nonsensical story. Kukuku! The magic stone cut in half collapsed with a loud noise. The cut surface is red. Speed, power and mana, it''s proof that everything was perfect. [1st place Jinhyuk Kang. Measurements: 20,895. grade S] The birth of a new S-class. No, the actual rank was much higher, because all of the mana measurements of 10,000 or more were included as S grades. more than twice as much. it''s a monster "Uh uh S-class, Chu, congratulations. I''ll report to the above and above, so please wait for a moment. The examiner stuttered and pulled out his phone. ''Korea is not the problem.'' It was the appearance of a super-sized rookie who had to renew the world rankings. At least for the manager... . No. In such an event, it was necessary to report it to the president of the association immediately. But it was then. Wait. Jinhyuk grabbed the examiner''s arm. Yes? Are you going to report above now? Yeah, that''s right. Please postpone that for a week or so. Postponing it. What do you mean by that? The examiner tilted his head as if he did not understand. It''s a personal reason. After a week, I won''t care whether it is announced to the association or distributed on the Internet. Ha, but, that''s not something I can do. manipulating information if caught I didn''t know what the punishment would be. Changing the lower rank is still considered a felony, but isn''t this supposed to hide the S-class? It''s also a week. No! Really, I can''t even die! He vehemently refused, squealing over and over. Also, this is the reaction. Jinhyuk nodded as if he had expected it. I would like to receive many benefits as an S-class, but I needed to hide my rank until I finished one job. To do that, we''ll have to crack down on this examiner''s mouth first. "There are a few things I have learned in my life." Bae, did you learn? jerk. Jinhyuk took one step forward. At the same time, a faint light flashed from the dagger in his hand. The first is that ''there is no guarantee of human affairs''. ''Really, even if I die'' There is no credibility in the subjunctive with such adverbs. there has to be no Because the world could change according to circumstances. Secondly, ''It''s more terrifying to be close to a fist than to be far away''. ''The president of the association is on the top floor of the building, and I am right in front of you.'' So it''s better to choose well. If you don''t want to be hurt, that is. Whoops. Jinhyuk played with a dagger with light hand movements. Did the threat work? The test tube''s complexion turned noticeably pale. The opponent is S-class. Darely, he is a superhuman who cannot be put into the category of human. If you put your mind to it, it wouldn''t be a problem to kill a single person. A week! Is it enough for a week? The examiner hastily answered. Jinhyuk stopped walking. Yes. Enough. After that, do whatever you want. Rather, I would like to actively promote it when that time comes. Make sure you attract aggro. That way, I was able to proceed with my future plans with ease. Okay. Jinhyuk Kang''s rank will be announced exactly in a week. In the end, the examiner made a decision. I''m sure you''re not changing your words or anything like that, are you? Yes, it can be. I promise in my name. I''m sorry, but I don''t believe in word-of-mouth promises. The most unbelievable thing in the world is a verbal promise. Isn''t it a promise to spill it over a glass of wine even if you say you''re going to the grave? Better than that... . I needed some more convincing proof. A proof that you can die if you break it. Jinhyuk''s fingers lit up in flames. [Lv1 ''Stigma of Souls'' is activated.] It was the same mark that was engraved on Park Hana as well. It''s not painful. Be patient. Chi profit! engraved a mark on the soul. The examiner frowned, but only for a moment. This took me a week. In the meantime, please use the first measurement. Are you talking about F-grade? Yes. Jinhyuk nodded his head. Then the examiner carefully opened his mouth. I... Then, how do I proceed with the second test? The first test to classify ranks by measuring mana. And there, the screening personnel who pass the second test. The content is simple. All you need to do is clear one of the dungeons in the Tower of Trials. Since there is no restriction of difficulty, most of them chose dungeons with goblins or orcs. It was a universal and wise choice. However. "We will attack the first floor, the ruins." Jinhyuk has already decided where to go. From the moment the Tower of Trials first appeared. If it''s a relic on the first floor...! An earthquake occurred in the pupil of the test tube. There is only one relic on the first floor. Ruins ''Corridor of the Fallen''. [Even 11 years ago when the Tower of Trials was first released.] And even now, when the Tower of Trials appeared as a reality. It was a geumyeok () known to have not been attacked by anyone yet. The test is over. The grade received was F. Jinhyuk showed the two of them the faint tattoos on their wrists. Your brother is an F-class? No, how... Of course, I thought he was higher than us, isn''t there something wrong? Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa shouted at the same time. This is an entirely unacceptable result. In particular, for two people who had seen Jinhyuk''s skills in the Tower of Trials, the grade of F was unbelievable. It''s a temporary grade. We''re going to re-measure in a week, so we''ll have to wait. seasoned with truth Because there was no need to disclose that it was an S-class here. Oh . If that''s the case, what? The two of them nodded as if in agreement with the word temporary grade . Oh right. Oppa. How are you going to do the second test? You should arrange it right away. If it''s a lower level dungeon on the first floor, we also have some. No. From now on, alone is enough. This future is too dangerous. No matter how talented Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa are. No, to be honest, there is not a single player in the world who can enter the ruins on the first floor and go to the end at this point, including myself. in the normal way. ''So you have to use an unusual method.'' A shortcut rather than a rule. The Tower of Trials was originally a place where you had to do that to survive. Don''t mind me. The two keep climbing the tower. I had already promised to do so. Let''s meet again later. So until then. You should focus on your own growth. Jinhyuk, who broke up with the two, immediately [Tower of Trials] connected to the community. ''Recruitment... Can I find it on the bulletin board?'' Generally, high-ranking raids were recruited from the guild level. Individual players of rank D or lower often matched the numbers with each other. And for the ruins, at least hundreds of people were needed. [[1st floor ''Corridor of the Fallen''] We are looking for players to visit the ruins. (000 people)] found. The difficulty was so high that I thought that no one might be able to challenge it. ''thank God.'' Jinhyuk immediately called the number written on it. -Tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... . The caller answered the phone as soon as the phone rang. -Hello? - I saw the community and contacted you. Ruins raid. I want to participate too. Isn''t it full yet? - Oh, of course. Don''t have a seat! The man answered hastily. It seemed that there were quite a few people in a hurry. Well, as long as the liver doesn''t come out of the stomach, not many people want to go there. -I But, what''s your grade? -F grade. -Oh F. Hmm. That''s right. -Is the grade a problem? - That''s not it. Even if the grade is low, you can go to the transport team or the mining team. However, if you come this way, you will not be able to receive the distribution of items obtained from within the ruins. Porters and miners are on a daily basis. This means that the risk is low, but the reward is not high. Does not matter. After all, the purpose of going to the ruins was not to distribute rewards. - It is okay to give it on a daily basis. - Then can you come to the entrance to the Tower of Trials right now? Everyone who is going to be a porter is gathering, but I will tell you the detailed conditions at that time. -I''ll be there in 20 minutes. The call ended. Jinhyuk called a taxi and went straight to the meeting place. About 20 minutes or so? Finally arrived at the destination. ''The entrance... If so, this is it.'' Jinhyuk looked around as he walked through the crowd. at that time. I saw a group of men gathered together. Seeing all of them have a good size... . ''Are these porters I mentioned earlier?'' As Jinhyuk approached, a man in a suit and glasses smiled brightly. Have you ever called before? Yes. My name is Jinhyuk Kang. Hello. I''m Seunghwan Oh, assistant manager of Matching Management. Seunghwan Oh welcomed Jinhyuk warmly. Is that the last person he said to come? Well, let''s start soon when we''re all together. Yeah. We''ve been waiting for an hour already. Haha, okay. First, please approve the raid membership. Yes. That''s right. All you have to do is click the approve button there. Oh Seung-hwan showed each 30cm-sized status window to those who applied as porters. Come on, Jinhyuk too. Lastly, Seunghwan Oh showed the status window to Jinhyuk. The content didn''t matter. Just one sentence: ''Would you like to join the raid?'' If you agree to this, you will officially belong to the raid from then on. Jinhyuk pressed the OK button. OK. [You have officially participated in the raid.] [You have fulfilled the condition.] [The second update is applied.] [Language patches for 103 countries around the world are applied.] [The raid-only quest begins.] Oh. It''s up. It''s up. Me too. Wow, this is amazing. Raid-only Quest. Fufu. Finally! Excited voices were heard everywhere. [#1 first attack on ruins] Difficulty: S What: Defeat the boss monster and reclaim the throne in the deepest part of the ruins. Reward: You will be given the option to choose one of the relics. (However, if you cannot kill the boss monster, your selection of relics will be limited.) Several status windows appeared in front of Jinhyuk too. boss monster. retake of the throne. And even the selection of relics. Things you already know By the way. ''This what?'' In front of Jinhyuk, he is different from others. [A bonus for the ''first conqueror of the tower'' has arrived.] Another status window was placed. CH 20 Ruins, Corridors of the Fallen (1) pounding! pounding! pounding! Seeing the blinking status window, Jinhyuk''s heart was beating rapidly. A one-line sentence written as a privilege. Yes. I kept wondering. The fact that I saw the top of the tower for the first time, but there was no reward for it. The reason the system has been silent until now. All of that. ''Is it because of the idea of giving it along with the reboot update?'' Jinhyuk hurriedly looked around. It''s done. So, how much do you pay per day? "I give in coins rather than cash." What is it. Mr. Park. What are you going to do with the coin? Climb the tower? Porters like us are left with receiving cash. A stiff cash is better than a coin that can''t be used outside. Everyone is in a state of mind talking about the party. Then this is... . It must mean that the reward given only to me is correct. I''ll check. Jinhyuk muttered quietly. OK. [The first perk opens.] [Passive ''Eat alone'' is activated.] [Eating alone] Description: If you take it alone without sharing the final reward, you can get the best of the possible rewards.] [Luck stats are permanently increased by +10.] [Adaptive stats increase by +10.] [A cold heart is activated.] [Relentless Heart: You will be able to maintain your composure even in dire situations. However, the human heart may become pale.] ''Unbelievable!'' Jinhyuk unconsciously clenched his fists. I''ll give you the best of the rewards if you read it alone. Things I never thought of popped up. crazy this is really crazy yea that''s the way it is Optional rewards often appear in the Tower of Trials. It''s a good choice. It''s like running a gacha. There were even cases where only one out of thousands made a jackpot. But wouldn''t that mean ignoring that probability altogether? without sharing it with others. As long as you keep the condition of eating it all by yourself! ''haha.'' Thanks to the many experiences he has accumulated so far, he has become a character that is not surprised at all. However, it was difficult to swallow the cheers that erupted this time. Are you biting your lower lip with your molars? ''Lucky stats... Hopefully, I''ll even give you this.'' not as much as the gap, In the Tower of Trials, which boasted the highest level of difficulty, luck boasted tremendous efficiency. Chewing on even the probabilities with blunt words, and overturning impossible situations all depended on this luck stat. ''It''s the first time I''ve seen the adaptive ability... .'' It means adapting to something, and we can only guess. It was an ability that did not exist before. Even if the last one was excluded, the other two perks were close to fraud. Besides, the first perk means that there is at least a second perk. ''If you see that the status window no longer appears, it must be the end of this for now.'' Jinhyuk carefully checked the reward once again and closed the status window. At that moment, the story about the crew was over. If it''s 300 a day, it''s not bad. It''s not bad. I''m risking my life. It means that our lives are worth 300. Damn. Since when did you start paying attention to that? Besides, I''ve heard from the deputy oh here, that you''re participating in a guild that''s full of bread this time? The eyes of the porters turned to Oh Seung-hwan. Yes. This raid is a combined battle. Two of the top 10 large guilds and mid-level guilds participate. large guild. If it''s in the top 10, that''s a pretty high ranking. Because the number of guilds around the world has exceeded 10,000. "Besides, there are a lot of solo rankers participating, so you don''t need to worry too much." Draw? Fuhaha. We can safely hide in the back and carry the luggage. "It will take about three weeks, so even if the expenses are not deducted, 5,000 per two will drop." Everyone burst into cheers at Oh Seung-hwan''s words. Let''s go to sleep. If it''s almost over, let''s end it here. How about a glass of soju with Mr. Park and Mr. Kim? In addition to pork belly. Huh? Ugh. Soju is good. Still, it reminded me of alcohol. There''s a store I know, so just follow me. It''s about making the pork belly very deadly. Suddenly, the atmosphere changed to a drinking party. Isn''t hyung going to come over there? If you want to work hard tomorrow, you should have a glass of soju! I''m fine. Jinhyuk shook his head. Even if you take a good rest right away and raise your condition to the highest level, alcohol is not enough in a panguk. Not everyone knows, but not too much. How dangerous is the ruins of the first floor. ''It''s nonsense to think that it''s possible to attack just by going to a top 10 guild.'' The future of the raid was already decided. Annihilation or close to annihilation. it will be one of the two And. Jinhyuk''s goal is to find a gap that only the deceased can do in the set ending. Aww! A huge desk shattered, and wooden fragments splattered in all directions. Whoa. Whoa! It seems that the minute has not been erased. The man''s shoulders shook violently. "This is what kind of bastard is this!" Master of the Black Crow Guild. Shin Gun-soo. He was in a state of anger at the news he had just heard. yea that''s the way it is A once in a lifetime opportunity. He had kicked the ladder to the top in the new world. It was also due to the mistake of the person he trusted the most. "Do you know how many coins and items were invested in attracting the Fighting Father guild ?" sorry. Park Ha-jin, who was kneeling on the floor, bowed her head. Sorry? I''m sorry? Does a guy who knows how to be sorry do that? Gunsu Shin picked up a golf club. And he began to beat Park Ha-jin without mercy. Whoops! Whoops! Gagging! Gagging! "I fed your sister the most refined Korean ginseng we have." A fortune that could almost be called a miracle. The only Korean ginseng with a refining rate of over 50% was given to Hana Park. "You just have to follow along and blow the trumpet when Hana Park gets an A rank." Violence was engulfed in emotion. puck! kwaduk! back and shoulders head. Wherever his hand could reach, beatings continued to the extent of ruthlessness. But, you can''t do any of those things right? Huh? Was it that hard? Boo woo woo! kwaang! A golf club hit Park Ha-jin''s head with the sound of breaking the wind. Red blood splattered on the floor. Turn it off... In the end, Park Ha-jin''s body collapsed. Only then did Shin Geon-soo stop hitting and toss the golf club to the floor. The guy who interrupted. Who is it? Say what he''s doing. "Well, that''s a guy named Kang Jin-hyuk " Jinhyuk Kang? It was a name I had never heard of. What''s your rank? " " Park Ha-jin did not answer. I couldn''t answer exactly. Can''t you hear me? What''s the rank? When Shin Gun-soo tried to grab the golf club again, a crawling voice came out. ...it''s F. F.F? In an instant, Gunsu Shin felt a shock as if he had been hit with a hammer in the head. Haha, this is outrageous. I mean. It was shot by a rookie who received an F rating, right? head At this point, even if you want to be angry, your pulse is relaxed. Okay. Isn''t that kid going to take the second test soon? Take the kids and clean them up. If it''s in the dungeon anyway, there''s no evidence left. The command of the slaughter (׷). Gunsu Shin decided to move at the guild level. All right. Park Ha-jin clenched her fists. In the past, I suffered because I was careless. This time it''s different. As long as Shin Geon-soo''s permission is granted, the group consisting of B-class players will move. ''As much as I was... . No, I''ll kill you after playing with it for as long as possible.'' Ha-jin Park''s head was filled with thoughts of Jin-hyeok crying and begging for his life. 4:30 in the morning the next day. Jinhyuk headed to the meeting place, the Tower of Trials. I''m here. It''s Mr. Kang, right? Here! Come this way. It was not yet sunrise, but the porters and miners had already arrived. Since the players had to be able to focus on the battle alone, the non-combat type people had to move diligently. Assistant Manager Oh Seung-hwan was nowhere to be seen. ''Well, because that person was the manager who brokered.'' Instead, there were far more people waiting than the porters I met yesterday. About ten minutes later, someone cleared his voice. Big! Khuh-Hum! Kim Kyung-yeol, who is in charge of the food. You can call him Kim. A man in his early 50s introduced himself. Our job is to carry food and other supplies for the 300 raiders for a week. In terms of weight, it will be 70-80 kg per person. It won''t be easy, but we all have a tight schedule, so let''s all do our best. Will you take it? Captain Kim mentioned the gang, But most of the faces were contorted. Damn it. It must be damn heavy. I''m going to go all out. Doesn''t that mean I have to carry it all day? "Still, the weight will decrease as time goes by " No noise. Go to the front of the truck and pick up your items in turn. They say you have to arrive by lunchtime. Several voices came and went. I grumbled, but I couldn''t help it. Because the contract has already been officially signed. Soon after, the porters were handed out heavy-looking backpacks from trucks. Mr.... Sibure. Big! People who crumple their faces as if carrying everything in the world. Come on, take it. There are no exceptions for F-class, so don''t be harsh. Principal Kim handed Jinhyuk a backpack. However. ''Well?'' Jinhyuk, carrying the backpack, tilted his head. light. too much. ''almost I don''t feel any weight.'' But does this make sense? The level was the same from the labyrinth until now. After the tree of mangroves. Since I have never increased my strength stats, of course, a backpack weighing over 70kg will not feel light. no way. Something passed through Jinhyuk''s head. Jinhyuk immediately activated the personal status window. Name: Kang Jin-hyuk Gender: Male Age: 27 Level: 1 Strength 8 Dexterity 8 Stamina 8 mana 11 Gap 100 Luck 10 Adaptive 10 Stat Points you have: 0 Coins held: 12740 Occupation: None. Unique Ability: Fusion skill: Lv2 ''Element of Fire'', Lv2 ''Eyes of Truth'', Lv1 ''Communion'', Lv2 ''Stigma of Souls'', Lv1 ''Reading'', Lv1 ''Shallow Breath'' Only one. Something has changed. 3 perks given with the word that the second update has been made. And among them, the last stat whose purpose was unknown. [Adaptive stat +10] Yes. That''s it. ''Because I am a porter, I feel light weight because I am used to it.'' Assuming that, the front and back are correct. Besides, if you can get the same effect as you do now in battle or in other situations... . It is a stat that cannot be compared with the gap or luck. That was then. for a moment. wait for a sec. ''This is a stat given only to those who have seen the top of the tower, isn''t it?'' Although the odds are atrocious, there was a way someone could get other stats anyway. However, adaptive abilities are an exception. ''At all... There is no way to get it.'' only one. Except for me. As the thought continued, goosebumps all over my body. It seems like I got the performance of a lifetime. CH 21 Ruins, Corridors of the Fallen (2) On the way to the ruins, Jinhyuk went with Kim. Jinhyeok participated in the raid as a porter for the first time, and the difficulty of the raid boasted an extreme survival rate. As class leader Kim, it was the idea of encouraging courage in his own way. Although clumsy, the intention was communicated. A warm heart for everyone here to return safely. "Did Kang also come here to earn money?" Yes. It takes a lot of money to live. Well, they''re all the same. I''m here to feed my foxy wife and rabbit-like children. Captain Kim took out his smartphone. In the background, there was a middle-aged woman with a good impression and a brother and sister who looked like middle school students. It''s a seemingly messy home. only. ''Usually, seeing something like this is a death flag... .'' Maybe it''s time to show you something like this? Jinhyuk smiled bitterly. So you''re taking a risk. Yes. Even if I die, the reward will be huge. There will be no time limit. Even if I die, I will save my family... La. He was a typical, stupid, and honest man. It''s frustrating though. I don''t hate it. someone who has such thoughts. Don''t worry. At least the people here will be able to go home safely. What? Fuhahaha! Draw, draw. Thank you for the words. Mr. Kang was a very disciplined friend. Kim burst into laughter as if satisfied. How long did you walk while talking like that? After traveling for over 7 hours with backpacks full of food, the porters finally reached their destination. D, finally... Come. Here it is. "I thought I was going to die." The accumulated fatigue. Due to the forced march without rest, everyone''s stamina had long since run out. Everyone sat down on their seats. Everyone worked hard. Please take a break until the raid arrives. Director Kim encouraged the porters who were struggling by handing them ice water and chocolate bars. ''See you again after a long time.'' Jinhyuk also looked forward with an expression of emotion. A place with endless mountains and cliffs. The gate you see in front of you is the ''Corridor of the Fallen'', a ruin that boasts one of the highest levels of difficulty in the Tower of Trials. Jerrit! Jerrit! Even though I hadn''t gone inside yet, my skin was tingling. indeed . It felt like this. My heart was pounding with strange excitement and anticipation. But that was then. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Mana''s reaction was felt in the vacant lot on the side. This? Jinhyuk raised his head. I saw the clouds parting. right at that moment. The reeds sway from side to side. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A ray of light fell from the sky. That is, it was a phenomenon that appeared when space movement magic was used. * Oh, the head. No matter how many times I do this, I can''t get used to it. How do you know the number of people? Everyone arrived safely. All 50 people. Anyway. Someone used the magic, maybe there''s a mistake? More than 50 people appeared with the smoke. The backpacker is armed with weapons and armor, not a pickaxe. The core of this raid, ''Balhae'' It was the main raid of the guild. Is that man the chief engineer? You look younger too... Don''t make fun of me because I''m young. I got an AA grade in the awakening test, and I''m a deceased person who has climbed up to the 9th floor of the Tower of Trials before. Everyone''s eyes were focused on the man in front of the raid. A shield that exceeds his height. An armor engraved with geometric patterns stood out. At the forefront, he is the core, pillar, and tanker of the raid that handles all aggro. ''This man is the engineering leader of the Balhae Guild... .'' Jinhyuk quickly activated the ''eyes of truth''. Name: Song Cheon-hwa Gender: Male Age: 29 Level: 14 Strength 30 Dexterity 18 Stamina 19 mana 5 Stat Points you have: 0 Coins held: 3,850 Occupation: None. Unique Ability: Item Lightweight skill: Lv3 ''Iron Shield'', Lv2 ''Dense Formation'', Lv2 ''Persistent Vitality'', Lv1 ''Stone'' The unique abilities and skills aren''t bad, but... . [Copy Condition: During the raid period, gain the trust of Song Cheon-hwa.] Jin-hyeok, who confirmed the copying conditions, soon lost interest in Song Cheon-hwa. It''s easier to get hostility. Faith is not something that can be done in a short period of time. Especially when it comes to competing for the one and only relic. by the way . Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed as he looked at Song Cheonhwa. ''Was the engineering leader of the top 10 guilds at this level?'' The stats and skill levels are too low compared to the level. It means that the focus was on simply raising the experience point rather than the actual battle that crossed the slash line. Besides, isn''t the 9th floor the end of climbing the Tower of Trials? ''The level of the rest of the engineering team is much lower than that of Song Cheon-hwa.'' Of course, this does not mean that we do not understand the situation at all. Currently, all top-level guilds are focusing on attacking the boss on the 3rd floor of the Tower of Trials. As a result, there were relatively few manpower to invest in the lower floors. But no matter how much you take all of that into account... . The lack of power was an undeniable fact. at that time. Come on, everyone, stop staring. The raiders are here too, so let''s get up. We have to do our part. Captain Kim met his palms. The mining team that mines magic crystals and collects by-products from the corpses of monsters enters later. Porters carrying the necessary supplies entered much earlier. Right after the battle had just ended. ''It''s rather good.'' Jinhyuk quickly got up from his seat. It was an opportunity to see firsthand how the guild unit raid was done. About an hour after the raid had passed, it was the porters'' turn. [Name: Corridor of the Fallen] Type: Ruins Difficulty: Unmeasurable Description: A place where the original blood is sealed. At the end of these ruins, the purest weapons and the most grueling death coexist. A sour smell stung his nostrils. Whoops! The magic player who was at the forefront summoned a large flame. The vision brightened and the inside of the ruins was revealed. Everyone, follow me well. If you sell one eye and then throw it away in the other, I won''t be able to save you. Oh my gosh... ...that''s huge. Is this the ruins? Appearance reminiscent of the ancient Mayan civilization. Exterior walls covered with stones and moss stretched out in all directions. jerk. As we went further along the road, we heard a murmur. Uh, here it is. This way! Cheonhwa-hyung! Porters have arrived here. As if there had already been a fierce battle, the front was filled with the corpses of monsters. The undead family, including ghouls and skeletons. Even at an estimate, the number was over 100. On the other hand, the bodies of the players were not visible. ''It''s strange... .'' Even though there are no high-level undead monsters, there is no damage while dealing with these many? With the power of the Balhae Guild that I had seen before entering the ruins, it was impossible. What tongue? It was at that time that class leader Kim grabbed Jinhyuk''s shoulder. Yes? What are you doing while standing still? Hurry up with water and ice and share. A face that asks what is natural. Team leader Kim summoned three or four people who were next to Jinhyuk. We''re going to do this, there. Can''t you see there are foreigners here? Where the fingertips went, there were players with exotic looks. They said that in addition to the main Balhae Guild, there was a middle-level rank. is one of them Jinhyuk, who was rolling his eyes, stopped. ''I said something... .'' This is the pattern I saw in the Tower of Trials in the past. ''Zion'' Guild. As a guild based in Europe, the number of members was small, but I heard it was quite solid. The four of us go to the people over there. All right. Jinhyuk filled a large bucket of water and ice and headed towards the Zion Guild. Water and ice were given in order. There was only a brief thank-you note, nothing special. So we arrived at the last turn. Unlike the 2m tall, the last person had a very dwarf body. Is it just over 160cm? He doesn''t look like a man... . Are you a woman? He couldn''t be sure because he covered his whole body with an iron helmet and armor. Here, drink some water. Oh ! with short elasticity. Chunkyung! The helmet was removed. The blonde hair that had been curled up over her head was blown away by the wind. Ugh!? Oh my gosh... The porters took a deep breath. Her face was so beautiful that I doubted whether it was the right person. Her white skin and blonde hair matched the armor she was wearing, creating a breathtaking sight. However, it wasn''t just her appearance that surprised everyone. Original skills and achievements accumulated. And to the family lineage. It was because three pillars supported her. ''The Lady of Amsterdam... .'' Teresa de Lawrence. can''t know One of the most famous players in Europe right now. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. She is the youngest daughter of the Laurentian family, who has a real noble title. At the same time, the hero who saved Amsterdam, which was almost devastated by the out break. That was her true identity. Now I understand. Why didn''t a single person in the Balhae Guild take any damage? ''Because this woman was able to show the best efficiency against the undead.'' An all-round player who deals with divine power and has both attack and defense as well as auxiliary healing skills. It was even evaluated that it was thanks to Teresa that they broke through the second floor of the Tower of Trials. However, there was a catch. ''Did you choose this instead of attacking the 3rd floor boss?'' No matter how precious the relics from the ruins... . Unless it''s a sacred relic, going to the next floor would have a lot more merit, wouldn''t it? Above all, there was no ability to recruit such a ranker from the Zion Guild. By what means did you attract it? Jinhyuk pondered for a moment, then shook his head. The priority right now is not to anticipate the financial power of the Zion Guild. What powers Teresa has. And how to copy that ability. This is important. ''This is an opportunity that will never come again.'' Immediately, the ''eyes of truth'' were activated. However. [The skill activation is canceled due to the level difference.] A red status window blocked Jinhyuk''s eyes. ''shit. It''s a level difference.'' I know you don''t belong to a guild, but you''ve already reached level 20. The moment I thought so. [Luck stats and adaptive stats have neutralized the level difference.] [Looks through the target''s status window.] Pants... . The red status window collapsed, and Teresa''s personal information began to appear. ''Yes, this was it.'' It helped me as soon as I got the lucky stats and adaptive stats. at a time when it is very important. Name: Teresa de Laurencia Gender: Female Age: 22 Level: 29 Strength 42 Dexterity 31 Stamina 25 mana 30 Stat Points you have: 8 Coins held: 10,850 Occupation: None (A job quest is currently in progress.) Unique Ability: Star Blessing skill: Lv5 ''Sacred Enhancement'', Lv5 ''Secret Maneuver'', Lv4 ''Blessed Hand'', Lv4 ''Holy Arc'', Lv4 ''Illusion barrier'' [Copy condition: Teresa is a ranker in the top 100 in the world. If you save her life, you can copy one of the unique abilities and skills you want.] That''s a terrific number. ''Indeed, people deserve to be so enthusiastic.'' Jinhyuk let out a small exclamation. This is absolutely a luxury hotel buffet. In addition, thanks to reading the status window, I was able to understand the motive of the opponent coming here. [Current job quest is in progress.] ''It was like that.'' That''s why I gave up on the boss attack and came here. This makes things fun. Maybe this card can be quite useful. [Lv1 ''Communion'' is activated.] [Subject has a slight affinity for you.] There was a warm vibe. Theresa looked at Jinhyuk and smiled brightly. Blue-green eyes as if they were being sucked in. Thank you... I''ll drink water well. Thank you. I am more grateful ''Blessing of the Stars''. A unique ability that is considered the best for those who choose the Paladin profession. Because you gave me a chance to get this. the problem is . You create a situation that puts this woman in danger. And you have to save your life there. ''Certainly the conditions are not easy.'' Jinhyuk wet his lower lip with his tongue. It was a peculiar habit that came out when thinking about it. But at that very moment. My wife, Cheonhwa-hyung! Come over here! Right now! followed by an urgent scream. All eyes were turned to one side. CH 22 enemy within Unbelievable. When Song Cheon-hwa and other players ran to the shouting place. Already, after the worst had happened. late. Healer, who was looking at the four people who fell on the floor, shook his head. A clean scar on the back of the head. It must have been that he had been ambushed from behind and died instantly. But a much bigger problem than your death was what they were protecting. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A floating black sphere at the entrance to the ruins. someone . Woke up the Guardian. [''Guardian of the Ruins'' looks at the invaders.] [Time Remaining: 09:59] A "guardian" who guards the entrance to the ruins. They possess the power equivalent to the boss level of the upper dungeon, but they have the trait of awakening only when stimulated. Hence the nickname ''Sleeping Bomb''.z It means a bomb that is not dangerous if left alone. What kind of idiot touched this! What''s the use of coming here and checking it out? I''ve already started waking up! Yes. It''s already late. Only 10 minutes left. If you don''t leave the ruins inside... . Guardian is fully awakened. Tongue, bro! I know. I know! Song Chun-hwa bit his lip. You can''t fight the Guardian. That''s suicidal. ''At least half... No, maybe more than that.'' In fact, Reid has to give up. It would be impossible to lose half of the power and go to the boss. However. ''You mean you finish before you even start properly?'' For the absurd reason that it also woke up the Guardian? Hardness isn''t the problem. It was a problem that could have been expelled from the guild at all. ''How much trouble did I have to work to get to the position of chief engineering officer... !'' Kwok. The molars burrowed into the lips. It can''t end like this. never. Song Chun-hwa gave the order as if he had made up his mind. Let the Guardian wake up. We keep going inside. As the decision to proceed, noises were heard everywhere. Brother. Are you serious? You have to think carefully. No, really. If you make a mistake, you could all die. A team of porters came in, but three teams were still waiting outside. Moreover, none of the guilds that were supposed to join the latter group had not yet arrived at the ruins. Continuing meant giving up more than 20% of the total power. Don''t talk and follow me. Even if I take responsibility, I will bear it. Song Cheon-hwa dismissed the objection with a single blow. "And even if there is no latecomer, if there is only Teresa, the odds are good enough." Yes. This is the corner I believe in. Song Chun-hwa''s gaze glanced to the side. blonde lady. As far as dealing with undead monsters, Teresa was rated as the best in the world. With this woman... . possible. not possible. It was only a few dozen minutes later that the news reached the porters. Hey, isn''t this different? The guardian wakes up, but can''t get out of the ruins? What are you talking about! Then, are you saying that we should go with the raid? Damn it. Had I known it would be this dangerous, I wouldn''t have come in the first place! The porters raised their voices. However, the reply that came back was cold. Someone assassinated the guardians, and by the time we arrived, the guardians had already awakened. It''s an assassination... . Jinhyuk, who had been silent, pricked up his ears. ''The culprit is among the people here... .'' In today''s world, murder isn''t a big deal. What is interesting is the motive. I''m not trying to make any profit. Locking up people inside the ruins so they can''t get out. It''s fun. You can roughly guess what the guy is aiming for. and even its body. Maybe thanks to the Guardian''s awakening, the situation can be handled more flexibly. at that time. Jinhyuk suddenly turned his head. and one step late. It''s a monster from the point of view! A medium-sized class... a lot! A player in the scouting group shouted. I, prepare for battle! Song Chun-hwa put a bloodline around his neck. The response was slow because it was a surprise attack in a state that had not yet been properly maintained. thud! thud! thud! thud! The grass swayed from side to side with the sound of shaking the earth''s axis. come. It''s also very fast. In front of the tanks! Hurry back the porters! Don''t disturb them! Get out! Aww! The tree fell. The grass parted and revealed... . Koooooooh! Aww! They were Durahans who were over 2.5m tall. all twelve. Each was armed with a mace and an axe. Ugh. Dew, it''s Durahan! A total of 13 types of monsters appear at the entrance of the ruins. Durahan was among the most difficult to deal with. With the overwhelming sense of intimidation, I woke up with feathers crawling all over my body. A higher level predator that is fundamentally different from ghouls and skeletons. Not only did he have tough skin, but he also had speed and strength, so Durahan was a monster belonging to a very difficult axis to deal with. Auxiliary buffs are driven to tanks, and dealers are re-timing while collecting as much mana as possible! Song Cheon-hwa led the raid. [Song Cheonhwa activates Lv3 ''Iron Shield''!] [Go Yun-deok activates Lv2 ''Wedge Formation''!] [Lee Yun-mi activates Lv2 ''Warrior''s Song''!] huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Various skills and buffs were stacked. And that moment. Aww! Aww! Durahan''s mace fell over the shield. Jinhyuk observed the battle a little further away from the rear. ''Certainly, the guild unit''s dust resistance is strong.'' It was annoying that we had a lot of breathing together. Because he wasn''t pushed at all against Durahan. The problem is solo players who do not belong to a guild. I was mostly alone, so I wasn''t used to this type of group battle. Eventually, victims began to appear. kwaduk! An eerie sound of breaking bones and crushing flesh. Aaaaaaah! A man with a sore shoulder fell down, spitting blood. These guys are ridiculously fast! Hey, healer! Where''s the healer? Send some tanks to our side as well. I can''t stand it... If this continues, we''ll all die! Truly Abigail. With his improvised organizational power, he could not deal with Durahhan. At least, that was the reality for solo players. However, despite earnest requests for help, Song Chun-hwa turned away from those seeking help. The victim comes out. That''s normal. And I rather liked this one. The corners of Song Chun-hwa''s mouth twisted slightly. ''In order to create a dramatic situation, the sacrifices of the beggars are essential.'' In fact, this raid had another purpose in addition to clearing the ruins. Securing immediate fixed subscribers. Due to the rule that views are counted only once per day per subscriber, the battle for subscribers among current players was fierce beyond imagination. It means that it is not easy to get 10,000 views for any video. ''In the end, if you want to make your subscribers go crazy, you have to give them a peripheral stimulus.'' cruelty and sensationalism. If you create a dramatic situation there, you will be able to make the best video. ''Since there are enough victims, let''s move slowly.'' Song Chun-hwa nodded his head to the side. Dongyoung-ah! Yes, bro! The man who was casting immediately activated the magic. Pants! The air cooled rapidly. A pure white sphere made in the palm of your hand. It was the binggye magic ''Ice Orb''. Mana spewed out of a block of ice condensed to the limit. right at that moment. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A streak of storm blew between the Durahans. Aww! Ugh... The movement of the Durahhans was noticeably slower. The castle was clinging to the arm holding the weapon. His legs, which were moving quickly, also stiffened in place. Now! Everyone spread out! kuung! kuung! kuung! The tankers, including Song Cheon-hwa, widened the gap left and right at once. clear center. fault! percussion! The players who were waiting smashed the ground. They were the main dealers of the Balhae Guild 1st raid, using swords and spears. Scratch! kwaduk! The blade was aiming for a vital point. For a dealer specialized in melee, the slow Durahan was an easy prey. kuung! kuuung! The Durahans fell one by one. - The video came out well, hyung. I think this will get at least 300,000 views. The video editing ability of the Balhae Guild raised a thumb. ''Three million... !'' The tail of Song Chun-hwa''s mouth ascended. I felt the reward of preparing bloody for this directing. In fact, saliva will flow from the perspective of the viewer. Because I put the mulberry flavor right. ''Almost all those who came alone must have been annihilated.'' Eight of them were blocked by the guilds, but the remaining four went behind the tanker. result? Obviously you don''t even need to check. Those who fought back must have already turned into corpses. At least the quickest ones survived. Is this what it feels like to have a periwinkle passing by? At the age of 25, Kim So-mi, a talented person in the information field, gave up her life as she saw the ax approaching. I no longer have the strength to run away. There was no mana to defend by moving one fingertip. ''just I''ll live up to my level.'' He was just one of many people who came in to earn money. This wasn''t the ending I wanted. I closed my eyes and waited for the end. wishing it to be over as soon as possible. By the way. ...? no pain felt strange. Obviously, I thought it would be incredibly painful. Unable to hold back your curiosity, let''s open our eyes. Ugh!? An unbelievable sight was unfolding there. Big play! The ax stopped. Durahhan''s arm muscles were exploding, but he couldn''t get past the man in front of him. '' Are you holding up?'' No, I''m blocking it too lightly. with only one dagger. If you look at the state of the armament, it must be a melee dealer... . Why does it look bigger than a tank with a shield? It was just amazing. It was amazing and wonderful. However, the surprising emotion was turned into fear in the scene that followed. Whoops! The man''s left hand rose in flames. It''s not like a small spark, it''s a fear enough to sting your eyes. Ma... no, you even use magic. It''s impossible. An all-round player with only a small number of players. Even so, there are differences between their abilities. Any one means that there is a weakness. However, I had never heard of a case where all abilities were so strong. What is the level... . ''I can''t even guess.'' KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Flames engulfed Durahan''s head. The disgusting smell of roasting rotten meat stung his nostrils. Aaaaaah! kuuung! Durahan''s body, which had turned into a lump of charcoal, collapsed. four with this. Jinhyuk looked at Dyurahan who had fallen for a moment. I had to maintain level 1, so I didn''t completely stop breathing. In fact, it would be safe to say that it is almost like a corpse. ''I''ll take care of the finishing touches.'' Jinhyuk brushed off the charcoal powder on his hand. And he ate his mouth as if he was missing something. what is it I haven''t been able to warm up yet, but it feels like the game is over. It was inevitable that the level of Durahan was too low than expected. A simple pattern that follows instinct rather than a tricky attack. It was a little quick and had great power, though. It was just that. It actually took me less than three minutes to deal with four of them. ''How come it seems so much easier than it used to be?'' At that time, it took more than 10 minutes to catch 4 Durahans. It''s been shortened by 7 minutes, so even thinking about it yourself is absurd. This seems to have been too stagnant even after 11 years of standing still. But right then. You, how are you...? A completely unexpected voice was heard from behind. CH 23 saint of amsterdam The owner of the voice is a saint in white armor. It was Teresa. Seeing that he was gasping for breath, he seemed to have come to help the rear after organizing the durahans in the front. Jinhyuk looked at Teresa with a slightly surprised expression. ''The guild members were arguing that they would only live on their own... .'' I''m surprised. I don''t think he got the nickname of a saint for free. Can I talk to him for a moment? Teresa asked Somi Kim, who had her eyes wide open. Yes? Yes, yes! Of course. Somi Kim nodded her head vigorously. Then he jumped up from his seat and disappeared behind the rock. The two men, Teresa, opened her mouth. "Have you done all the Durahans?" It''s a talk that is borderline. yea that''s the way it is The average rank of players participating as porters is E~F. Of course, it has to be out of touch with the battle. By the way, did you say that you defeated Durahan alone, which is difficult for even a B-class battle series to deal with? It is absurd to label it as a coincidence. First of all, I''m the one who dealt with Durahhan. Are you hiding your identity? Why? Because everyone has personal circumstances. Me too... Jinhyuk shrugged. At the same time, the broken sentence was completed. So are you. " what is that?" Teresa''s eyes fluttered slightly. It was a slight tremor that an ordinary person would not have noticed. ''Yes. Any ordinary person.'' Jinhyuk smiled brightly and continued. Actually, I didn''t understand it at first. Why did a ranker like you give up on the boss attack and come here. It was hard to understand in my common sense. Attack the upper floors of the tower with huge rewards and honors guaranteed. Teresa abandoned that golden opportunity and chose the ruins. reason? Is there only one more? Of course, this is because the reward you can get here is bigger than what you get when you defeat the boss monster on the 3rd floor. And Jinhyuk already knew what it was. Isn''t it because you chose this place to do a job quest? ...!? This time, Teresa couldn''t even capture her expression. As if he had been hit in the face, his face was stained with embarrassment. ''Few people know that the ruins are a place for a Paladin''s former Quest... .'' On a normal route, the Paladin''s former quest is done on the 6th floor. But, because I wanted to get ahead of others. Teresa bought the information from the ''black market'' operated only by those who climbed the Tower of Trials by more than 10 floors. For a moment, Teresa''s eyes narrowed. ''Then maybe... .'' Is this guy also one of the members of the black market? You should check it out. Where are you just floating around with fragments of information you picked up? Or do you really know everything? That''s right. The reason I''ve been hiding it until now is because I have to go to the place where the oath of the Apostle John is, but I haven''t figured out exactly where it is. Theresa opened up about the purpose and why. sure. A status window with slightly different contents was floating in front of Jinhyuk''s eyes. [''Eye of Truth'' is activated.] [Theresa''s remarks are ''false''.] cute. ''Are you trying to think of me?'' Jinhyuk smirked. It''s not John, it''s the Apostle Peter''s oath. And it would be a lie to say that we don''t know the exact location. It''s somewhere where the oath is. You must have already found it before you came here. The reason he''s still hesitating is probably because the road to the place where the oath is is too rough. Thousands of traps were more like chaos than there were specific rules. Besides, having an army of over a thousand undead was a bonus. "Really he knew everything." Finally, theresa admitted. great. Now we can move on to the next step. Actually, I have a job to see where the pledge is. Oh, of course, I''m aiming for something other than the pledge. Do you want me to go with you? I''m going to go with you. Jinhyuk drew the line. I perfectly know the location of the trap and its strategy. Well, it doesn''t matter if you go with the players from Zion as planned, but well. No matter how lucky you are, everyone will die except you? But, you can''t, can you? A noble hero whose name is a saint. If you say that you lost all your friends and survived alone, you would be hurting your name. Even if he succeeded in changing his job, the public reaction would be cold. ...I''ll think about it. Anyway. Think about it all day. After all, there will be only one conclusion. ''Give me a pledge and I''ll take care of the rest.'' It was only Peter''s oath for the former paladin who was out of interest, but the other items there were quite coveted. ''Frozen Tears'' and ''Mahondan'' Yes. It''s best to get these two. Rather, it was to the extent that I wanted this more than the relic. In particular, ''frozen tears'' is a crystal called the essence of mana, and when absorbed, it has the effect of greatly increasing the absolute value of mana. ''Raising mana is one of the top priorities that must be addressed for me.'' Although the mana consumption of the skills I use often now is not large. As the skill level rose and the higher skills were fused, the importance of the total amount of mana was not enough to emphasize. ''Originally, there was no way to break the curse of cold, so I was going to give up... .'' After confirming Teresa''s existence, it was a change of operation. If Teresa was able to handle the divine series, it was because it was possible to alleviate the coldness of the frozen tears. May I ask you just one thing before you decide? Teresa, who was worried, opened her mouth. Tell me. "Are you the one who killed the sentries and woke up the guardians before are you?" hoo. Does this go on like this? ''Well, from Teresa''s point of view, the most suspicious person in the current raid must be me.'' Because I had a lot to hide and I knew too much. Well, I could have explained it in detail here. that''s not a taste Most of all, it was annoying. Jinhyuk chose a simpler and more straightforward method than that. I understand your suspicions under the circumstances, but I''m not the culprit. Are you telling me to believe just words? Yes. Above all, the solid evidence is right in front of us. Evidence. What do you mean? If I were the culprit who killed the sentries and woke up the Guardian... Think carefully. I would have killed you without having such an annoying conversation. That there is a much simpler way than a plausible excuse in the world. Teresa''s sole action again met with strong opposition. It was because Song Cheon-hwa, the chief of engineering, was terrified and opposed it. Absolutely not! Now I have to gather up my power and move forward, but I''m not acting alone! If it were anyone else, it was not as good as Teresa, who could be called the core of the raid. But Teresa didn''t want to back down easily. There is a map up to the 20km point of the ruins. Everyone is familiar with the strategy. Without me, there is no big difference. From the time the Tower of Trials was a game to the present when it became a reality. After countless attempts, the players were able to create a map of the ruins. At least from the entrance to the 20km point so that you can proceed without much risk. "Above all, before our contract and the battle with the boss, didn''t the engineering leaders of each guild maintain the same authority?" That, that''s it... As she quarreled, Song Chun-hwa stuttered. Because nothing is wrong. at last. After a long sigh, Song Chun-hwa allowed Teresa to act alone. Uh-huh. Okay. Still, you have to return until you reach the end of the map. Yes. Until then, I will join you again. Teresa nodded her head. Ah! And... can I bring just one person to help me as a porter? That''s about it, do whatever you want. Song Chun-hwa roughly waved his hand as if he had lost his energy due to the war. It''s a small thing, as if it''s okay, with a helpless face The porters who caught Teresa''s gaze trembled thinly. Accompanying the ranker. This isn''t luck or luck. Rather, it''s a first-class ticket to hell. - At least you''re trying to take me to a filthy dangerous place, damn it. Guys like us will never come back. - Please, please, I can''t. - Don''t make eye contact. If you make eye contact, it''s very sloppy. -I have a wife and children who have to feed every corner of the house. Everyone prayed earnestly in their hearts. Please, I hope you''re not alone. right then Theresa''s fingertips pointed among the porters. It was Jinhyuk who was nominated. And Jinhyuk said that of course he would go with him. I don''t know what you''re thinking.... As someone who has lived close to 50 lines, I''ll tell you, love? Yeah. Listen to class leader Kim. No matter how beautiful a saint is. Whoa. Youth is the problem, youth. It makes people''s minds wander. The porters ripped off Jinhyeok. He seemed to be misunderstanding something. When it''s time to do things like dating, you climb the tower one more floor. I don''t know what you are thinking. It''s not like that... Jinhyuk, who was rebutting, blurted out the end of his speech in the middle. Wait, wait. If you look around halfway, the seeds will not be eaten. Because no matter what happened, I couldn''t go. I''d rather have it like this... . Actually, Ms. Theresa and I have known each other since childhood. Set the genre. Let''s see. A little bit of childhood memories mixed with melodies. The ruins contain items to heal Teresa''s family in Europe. At first, I said I''d go alone, but I couldn''t do it alone. Finally, add tears. I pinched her thigh, but unfortunately not a single drop of tears came out. Damn, I''m so emotionally dry. Even if my skills are lacking, and even if I lose my life... I will protect her until the end. Love, tragedy, heroism. Through this. ''Romeo and Juliet'', ''The Hill of Storms'' The trinity, which has been recognized as a box office code over the centuries, has been completed. The porters looked at Jinhyuk blankly. It was as if I realized something I had forgotten for a long time. Kang Jinhyuk is sleeping... You''re a real man. Damn it. You''re a real man from the Goguryeo era. Yes. Go. Shouldn''t a man not be able to protect a single childhood friend? Youth is good. Youth. Everyone hit Jinhyuk on the back one by one. Jinhyuk and Teresa, who simply packed their bags, went straight into the ruins along the tangled road. Did 5 hours pass like that? The two men, separated from the raid, were finally able to reach their destination. ''The defense is also well made.'' Jinhyuk slowly observed the formation of the monsters. The ones in the pit were mostly ghouls and skeletons. High-level undead were also mixed here and there. Durahhan Besides, Lich who deals with magic. Judging from the fact that the mana you feel isn''t strong, the circle probably won''t be high. Lich are the ones who should never be taken lightly. In particular, if you hit a debuff or a curse series, there is a high probability of getting a fatal injury no matter how many flying and creeping figures. Teresa poked Jinhyuk''s side with her finger. Hey! The pledge is right in the middle of me. I also checked. the center of the circle. There will be ''Peter''s Oath'', ''Frozen Tears'' and ''A Space Inventory Combination Book''. If you kill monsters, you will level up... . I''ll leave that to Theresa. Get ready. Jinhyuk prepared to move. The dagger I had in my arms poured out a red light. all right. Teresa also raised her sword and shield, and raised mana. But right then. T-tiring! Suddenly, a red status window appeared in front of the two of them. CH 24 frozen tears [The ''Lord of the Corrupted Corridor'' is looking at you.] This! Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. no doubt This is an indirect message from the boss monster. Look, did you see this? Now it''s on the status screen... Teresa exclaimed in surprise. Yes. I saw it. But you don''t have to worry about being attacked right away. The intelligent boss monster''s indirect message is just an expression of feelings or intentions. Because there was no physical threat. by the way. ''This guy probably never showed interest in a player... ?'' The owner of the corridor was always locked up in his room. In case of an intruder, it was taken care of of course, but other than that, contact with the outside was thoroughly cut off. But how did he show interest in this way? Interesting. the reason and intent. Looks like a boss monster, what does staring mean? If it''s good, I see it as a fun enemy, if it''s bad, I''ll never let it go alive. Are you saying you acknowledged us? It means you acknowledged me. Not you. Where are you trying to sneak in a bundle? Just looking at it, the indirect message was posted because of me. " " Theresa looked at Jinhyuk with a surprised face. A player who participated as a ranker and porter who is said to be the best in Europe. If you ask 100 people, all 100 people will raise Teresa''s hand. nevertheless. What the hell is this guy''s confidence? At this point, it was respectable in many ways. There was a lot to say, but Teresa shook her head lightly as if she had resigned. When you first talked to me, you said you knew all the traps, didn''t you? Yeah. It''s been a while, but your body will remember it. It''s not easy to come to the first floor. In particular, it has been more than 6 years since the last time I entered the ruins. No problem though. It is not for nothing that there is a saying that a class is eternal even if the form is lost. Then what should I do? Please only attract the attention of the undead monsters. I will take care of the rest. By dividing roles like this, you can get all the items you want without leveling up. Jinhyuk held the dagger in reverse and took a stance to descend down the pit. Ready. Then, let''s get started. Teresa pulled up mana. OK. huuuuuuuuuoooooooooooooooooo [Theresa activates Lv5 ''Battle Song''!] A warm energy permeated his body with a dazzling light. [All stats increase by +3 for 10 minutes!] Wide area buff skill. It was also a deceptive skill with the effect of being involved in all stats. ''Oh. It''s quite usable.'' Jinhyuk let out a small exclamation. If it wasn''t for Teresa''s unique ability ''Blessing of the Stars'', which can be revived upon death, it makes me want to copy this skill. kuung! Meanwhile, Teresa leaped into the midst of the undead monsters. Kurre... Kie-ee! The ghouls and skeletons reacted immediately. He exhaled poison and wielded a crude sword and axe. However . Kak kak kak! A weapon like that wouldn''t even scratch Teresa''s armor. yea that''s the way it is 100 players. Among them, Teresa is the most stable ranker in karate. In addition, although it is a replica version, it is equipped with the ''Armor of Joan of Arc''. No matter how many mass-produced monsters there were, they couldn''t be her opponent. Kek! Keeek! The shield moved like a ruler. bang! kwaaang! The ghouls'' heads were smashed in one blow. That''s almost as strong as a siege hammer. Scratch! Every time the sword drew an arc, the skeleton''s body was cut in half. Fast and accurate attack. The wall surrounded by layers becomes skinny. the road is open It is now! fault! Jinhyuk smashed the ground. lightly. fast at the same time. While maintaining speed, he traversed between monsters with minimal movements. Most of the aggros were attracted to Teresa, but because there were so many of them, a guy aimed at Jinhyuk came out. Ghoul raised his nails and ran towards the nape of Jinhyuk''s neck. Kee-e-e-e! There is no end to each and every one of them. Whoops! By aiming at the joint, the center of gravity is shifted. Kek? The ghoul''s body shook violently. A look of perplexity was evident. All of a sudden, my body didn''t listen. Jinhyuk treated the ghouls and skeletons in the same way, and went deeper into it. And the moment the fog got a little thicker. Pants. Black sparks flew like lightning. ...! Dangerous. Jinhyuk instinctively changed the direction. Whoops! A huge crater was formed on the ground on which one was standing a second ago. indeed. It is the destructive power that cools the liver. ''If this is not enough, it is not a relic.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes moved quickly. left. Exactly between the rocks on the left. There I saw Lich chanting a spell. A white-bone wizard with no flesh. However, the blazing blue light in his eyes seemed to see through everything. "This is no place for humans to come." A voice sounded like scraping iron. By the way, making a comment. So, you''re saying it''s a good place for dead bodies to come out for the night? Jinhyuk passed Lich''s threats, which were stained with all kinds of assumptions, through his ear. ''There are five Durahans attached as escorts... .'' I wanted to avoid a head-on fight if possible. can''t just have to deal with it all. Like ghouls and skeletons, there was a risk of being caught behind if ignored and passed on. Go back. If you take one more step, I will turn it to ashes. Lich created a black lightning bolt on the palm of his hand. At least 5 circles is a magic that looks beyond. swipe. Jinhyuk took a step forward. Ouch. Mistake. Gear... Lich nodded towards the Durahans. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Aww! The five Durahans roared wildly. thud! thud! thud! thud! Along with the roar that shook the earth, the Durahans quickly narrowed the distance. Not like those with low intelligence, while having a siege network. At the same time. The lightning in Lich''s hand disappeared. Die with regret, human! fast. However, the moment when the straight black stem touches Jinhyuk''s heart. Whoops! A fierce fire erupted. Lightning was blocked by the fire curtain and shattered. Hey, what a human being! It was an all-out attack. By the way. How do you block it so lightly? Lich was confident that he would not be defeated by any human as far as magic. However. That pride was completely shattered. from this very moment. kukukuku! Fireworks scattered with thousands of fragments. in it I''m running out of time, so I''ll finish it as soon as possible. Jinhyeok, who spoke briefly, aimed at Durahhan, who was at the forefront. tuk. step on the thigh. Too Wook! Then he stepped on his shoulder and jumped high. Did it soar close to 5m above the ground? Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders. Mine isn''t as fast as lightning, but... One cannot predict. Your shield will never stop you. A ten-grade dagger loaded with mana, the gap stats and adaptive stats were also superimposed. The 5th circle is not even close. I don''t know if at least two levels are high shields. This time, the dagger in Jinhyuk''s hand disappeared. red flash. A single ray of light shot in a straight line towards Lich. " is it big!?" [Circle 5 ''Energy Shield'' is activated!] reflexively raised mana. The shield unfolded, and a transparent film wrapped around Lich''s whole body. However. kwaduk! The shield shattered like a glass wall. Naturally, Lich, who was behind him, also had an air hole in his body. "Big uh " Lich looked at his wounds and Jinhyuk alternately, as if in disbelief. However, it was only for a short time. The light in his eyes, which had been burning blue, gradually lost its light. All the mana that had been collected was blown away because it took so much damage. Of course, as long as there is a Life Force Vessel, it will not disappear. I just can''t move for a while. ''This is roughly the end of the arrangement.'' Jinhyuk retrieved the dagger that had been lodged in the floor. Kurre... Great. The Durahhans, who were under Lich''s direction, slowly took a step backwards. Perhaps it was because he had lost his will. Jinhyuk did not pursue them. After all, the purpose of coming here was not to level up, but to secure items. Whoa. Jinhyuk took a deep breath. You should be a little nervous from now on. Because I had to go through a huge number of traps. Wow, what kind of porter is that? Teresa muttered helplessly. My heart was beating wildly when I organized and joined the crowd of Undead. Because I was able to speak confidently to the person who was constantly ignoring me. that I am this strong However, the moment he saw Jinhyuk''s battle, his shoulders, which had risen to the top, fell to the floor. ''It really was.'' Saying that he handled the Durahan Net by himself. I was skeptical, but it was true. And it wasn''t even that hard. Even a much higher-level Lich was completely playing with it. ''You deserve to be full of confidence.'' I''m so strong, I can only afford it. But. The surprise didn''t end there. The moment you enter the trap zone. Teresa was at a loss for words. Oh . The little lips opened blankly. Boom! Jinhyuk avoided the thorns that rose from the floor. At a moment where it could be said that they were almost simultaneous. Fifteen arrows flew from the front. It''s intimidating, but this is a fake. Because it was actually a wire coated transparently. ''It''s foggy, so you have to be more careful.'' Kaka Kaka Kaka! As Jinhyuk slashed arrows with his dagger, he constantly checked where he was going. OK. [The vision is distorted.] An uncomfortable sense of sight hit the retina. ''From now on, the gap will be about 32cm apart.'' It means that whatever attack comes, it is much faster than you feel. This is the biggest reason for making this trap section difficult. I modified the memorized timing by one step. let''s go. Jinhyuk headed forward again. sush. The sound of something hitting the ground. this time behind The moment a snake-like rope is about to snatch your ankle. Jinhyuk flew forward. shudder! shudder! Each time it moved, the trap was triggered one after another. Naturally, everything here is a trigger that triggers a trap. ''Three steps from here... . And two steps to the right.'' keep moving There was no other way than to take the less risky path. Relatively easy is the physics trap. The tricky part was the trap that worked on the mental side. The latter had to be avoided no matter what. Because that one was instantly dead when it was activated. a little bit. little bit more . We now have about 100m left to our goal. [Hearing becomes dull.] [The sense of touch is paralyzed.] As the distance increased, the function of the five senses slowed. An environment that overshadows even the advantages of excellent reflexes. Studying the rules. It''s no use trying to figure out a pattern. so that. This is the section where everything becomes meaningless. Just dying thousands or tens of thousands of times and learning all the sequences is the only way to break through this trap. Aww! Jinhyeok set the orbit of a dagger with a dagger. My five senses ran wild, but I didn''t lose my mind until the end. bang! kick it out kwaaang! yet again. bang! bang! kwaaang! one more time. ''this That''s it!'' Boo woo woo! Jinhyuk grabbed the dagger rushing towards his heart with his bare hands. And threw it to the floor. [All senses return.] [The fog on the pit clears.] [The undead enter the rest.] Looking at the pouring status window, Jinhyuk let out a sound of pain. I''m trying to do this after a while, but my muscles are sore. no really. I have pain in my right wrist and shoulder. If I had been three months younger, it would have been great. ''It seems to have gotten better after seeing this too... .'' Jinhyuk looked at the items placed on the rocks. The first thing that caught my eye was ancient Latin written on a long parchment. It was the ''Peter''s Oath'' that Teresa wanted. And. ''Yes. Nice to see you again.'' A crystal that emits a blue light that makes your eyes shiver. ''Frozen Tears''. I finally got my hands on this. ''First of all, I''ll have to get the subspace inventory recipe and the demon gang, and call Teresa for the frozen tears to neutralize the poison and the cold.'' If you touch it with bare hands, you will get severe frostbite on your hands. But that''s when I was going to call Theresa. Put that down... Slowly. A low voice was heard from behind Jinhyuk. CH 25 Swordseong () Cheonyuseong (1) Jinhyuk slowly turned his head. Then there stood a man with a very old looking sword. It''s a known sword. A replica version of the relic that was on display at the National Museum of Korea. It was the ''iron sword with Qianlong (Ǭ¡) engraved''. That''s right. It must mean that this guy is a leech who has been challenging himself all along in the Tower of Trials. He glanced up and down Jinhyuk''s opponent. sharp impression. A solid body of over 185 cm. It is like a well-forged sword. ''In the game, I didn''t know he was like a psychopath, but in real life he looks fine.'' No, to be precise, what model go away. It was hard to find a face that looked like a fragment with a perfectly proportioned body on TV. face is not worth it face value. Aren''t you really tired of it? Jinhyuk clicked his tongue. Is it not enough to chase after you like that in the game? Now I''m chasing to the ruins of Hadada. Seriously, if I go to Hell, I''m the one who''ll follow you there. That annoying face...isn''t that the only way you look at me? The man clenched his teeth. At the same time, a terrible life bloomed. Oh right. I was very upset with this guy being ignored. From the standpoint of the opponent, it was just annoying, so I forgot. No, think about it with common sense. Some crazy guy is chasing you all the way here? And if you lose like that, now do something like admitting it. Please. "It will be different this time. As long as I start all over again, I can''t be pushed by you." it doesn''t make sense Exactly, it didn''t work from the beginning. Jinhyuk sighed a little and activated the ''eyes of truth''. [The skill activation is canceled due to the level difference.] Of course there will be a difference in level. But it doesn''t matter. ''Song of Battle'' to the existing luck stats and adaptation stats Because it was in a state where additional stats were obtained due to the effect. [The stat effect has neutralized the level difference.] [Looks through the target''s status window.] Name: Cheon Yooseong Gender: Male Age: 28 Level: 29 Strength 35 Dexterity 31 Stamina 18 mana 10 Stat Points you have: 0 Coins held: 0 Occupation: Prosecutor Unique Ability: Song of the Sword skill: Lv6 ''Sword Spirit'', Lv5 ''Eyes of the Ancients'', Lv5 ''Ilgito (һTӑ)'', Lv5 ''Self-defense Force'', Lv5 ''Battlefield Selection'', Lv4 ''Choice of the Soul Sword Dance (׷ꄦ) )'', Lv4 ''blackout barrier'', Lv3 ''perseverance'', Lv3 ''perseverance'' . [Copy Condition: Cheon Yuseong believes that he is stronger than anyone when it comes to swords. Hit him down with the ''sword'' he''s most confident of.] A longer stat window appeared than anyone I''ve seen so far. [Did you recognize me through the eyes of a predecessor? Besides, he was stalking me to a point where he was looking through me, so I understood to some extent that he had followed me all the way here.] ''It''s heavenly... .'' It was such a name. Tower of Trials. the deceased who was there. Cheon Yoo-seong was one of the worst players Jin-hyuk knew. I was also very good at it. In fact, the people who shared the sword with him even called Cheon Yu-seong a sword-seong () and looked down in awe. He was also feared as a sword demon (). But. ''It was like this, too.'' Jinhyuk read the status window with a sad expression. Level, skill, unique ability, stats. Others would have bubbled in their mouths if they had seen it, but that''s all. Of course, he admits that he has become stronger than before. The build-up to become a swordsman was flawless. however. ''It''s the same with me.'' The gap has not narrowed in the slightest. Rather, it happened more If you dare to fight, I won''t stop you, is that okay? I''m not the only one here, am I? Theresa, who responded to Cheonyuseong''s death, was approaching at a fast pace. At most two or three minutes. After that, it becomes a two-to-one situation, not one-to-one. "You''re a saint you made a useless companion." Well . I think I need to make two corrections. First, Teresa is not a colleague. Our interests are aligned, so we''ll be together for a while. And secondly. I don''t carry anything useless. As soon as Jinhyuk finished speaking, he heard the sound of breaking the wind. Boo woo woo! A silver shield flew away. The energy that gently rises on the surface. A weapon with divine power. !? Cheon Yu-seong hurriedly swung his sword. kwaaang! managed to get it off. However, the shock was so great that a thick tendon protruded from his forehead. ''Cause don''t be so arrogant Why don''t you run away before the ashes come? It''s not too late yet. ...I won''t let a saboteur interfere in our confrontation. [Chean Meteor activates Lv5 ''Battlefield Selection''!] A transparent film began to spread around Cheon Yu-seong''s body. In line with that, the corners of Jinhyuk''s mouth went up as well. also. It responds immediately to a gentle scratch. A unique barrier that allows you to choose the battlefield you want, ''Battlefield Selection.'' It was the most powerful barrier among the barriers possessed by Cheonyuseong. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A new space of about 50 m has been constructed. I caught my eye on the training center, with smashed marble and leftover byeokgok steps scattered around. ''It''s a manly place.'' It''s amazing how consistent the character is... If it''s a talent, it''s a talent. Cheon Yuseong held the sword with both hands. I can''t get any help from outside anymore. A world cut off by barriers. Cheon Yu-seong immediately used the following skill. [Cheon Yuseong activates Lv5 ''Ilgito (һTӑ)''!] [All stats of Heavenly Planet are increased by 10%!] [[''Song of the Battlefield'' received from Teresa] The effect disappears.] [All stats are reduced by 10%.] Status messages that appear one after another. It was the result of being forced to nerf due to ''battlefield selection'' and ''ilgito''. Because of these two skills, Cheon Yu-seong confidently waged a fight. Because of these two skills, Jinhyuk did not avoid fighting. '' caught.'' The unfavorable situation had its own reasons. A special condition attached to ''fusion''. -If the situation becomes overwhelmingly more unfavorable than the original copying condition, the copying conditions will be modified accordingly. And in this case... . [The copy conditions have been corrected.] [Achievement of pre-copying and post-conditions is acceptable.] [Complete the condition within the time limit of 10 minutes.] conditions have changed. By first copying the ability and then fulfilling the condition. I will copy the unique abilities of Cheonyuseong. [Copies the unique ability ''Sword Song (S)''.] [''Song of Swords'': Increases your understanding of swords by 200%. The body naturally seeks an efficient sword path, and the senses of the whole body become extremely sensitive.] [This is one of the essential abilities to receive the title of Swordsman ().] Until now, if it was a fight that relied on experience and reflexes. From the moment you acquire this ability, you will understand the sword and become one with the sword. Whoops. Jinhyuk grabbed the dagger in his right hand. And the left index finger flicked towards Cheonyuseong. Come...don''t pretend you have it! Cheon Yoosung bit his molars. At the same time. kwaang! He kicked the ground and rushed to Jinhyuk. The distance narrowed in an instant. fast. However. Kaaan! Jinhyuk passed the attack aimed at his side. The next attack followed immediately. Kaang! Kaaan! In less than a second, several sword strikes came and went. All of them were desperate for only the vital points. right then Cheon Yu-seong''s face was distorted more harshly than before. "Now what kind of Excellent grade?" Huh? What? Don''t pretend you don''t know! Your main specialty is not melee, but medium-range. Why is it that you''re fighting with a single dagger! Because he had been fighting terribly, Cheon Yoo-seong also knew Jin-hyuk''s style. The fact that I enjoy fighting at a distance rather than melee. That''s right. That''s correct though. For now, I think this will suffice. You can''t use anything else unless you press it with a sword. Above all, since I got the song of the sword, I was able to deal with it with just one dagger. Of course, all of this is just a story from Jinhyuk''s point of view. From the standpoint of the party, Cheon Yoo-seong, of course, there is no choice but to be angry. I''ll kill you! The enraged Cheonyuseong swung his sword. Kaang! Kang! Kaka Kaka Kaka! dozens of times... No, there were hundreds of siege battles. ''How the hell did this happen?'' As time passed, Cheon Yu-seong became less and less understanding of this situation. A battlefield optimized for you. Besides, isn''t the opponent giving up on his special skills and playing close-knit? All circumstances were overwhelmingly favorable. Of course I thought I could win... . The tight balance was never broken. And there was only one reason why this happened. ''Are you using swordsmanship?'' It is not simply an imitation or imitation. Sophistication felt even through the ages. In addition, an unprecedented level of anomaly that pierces through the middle. To be honest, I was amazed. Cheon Yu-seong opened the distance and took a deep breath. It''s because of the fact that a lot of skills were activated in a short period of time. I don''t know what he did, but it''s amazing. To learn this level of swordsmanship without knowing it. I''ve been learning hard lately. It''s more fun than I thought. Exactly a little while ago. That''s what I learned from you too. If I said that, that guy''s eyes would turn around. At Jin-hyuk''s death, Cheon Yu-seong''s face hardened. Yeah. Even if you gave up your organs, it was too much for me to deal with simply with swordsmanship. It''s my mistake of being relaxed against a monster like you. have to admit The fact that you can never win if you don''t do your best. In an instant, the air suddenly changed. A sword that stretches in a straight line. There. [Chean Yuseong activates Lv6 ''Soul Sword Ki (׷ꄦ)''!] Pants... ! A blue mana was formed along the sword. It was ''Sword Qi ()'', the ultimate intention to cut everything it touches. Damn. Isn''t that too much? You''re even using Sword Qi against a beginner who just learned a sword? From the premise that you''re a beginner, it''s bullshit that''s not even worth listening to. Cheon Yoosung dismissed it with a single blow. kwaang! And scattering Sword Qi, they rushed towards Jinhyuk. Jinhyuk looked at Cheon Yoosung and the dagger alternately. ''Will the days be over if I fight this?'' No matter how strong a sword is, Sword Qi can''t stand it. It''s not called the strongest for nothing. if so . make it Able to face Sword Qi. No, the ability to surpass Sword Qi. Jinhyuk grabbed the black pill placed on the rock. I will fuse ''Song of the Sword'' and ''Mahondan (ħ굤)''. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo As soon as the words were finished, a dazzling light came out. [Fusion successful!] [You have acquired the unique ability ''Sword Grave (SS)''!] [''Sword Graveyard'': Increases your understanding of swords by 500%. The body searches for the optimal sword path, and the sensations of the whole body also reach the highest level.] [This is one of the essential talents to receive the title of Sword Demon (ħ).] [The copied ability is stored in ''Memory of the World''.] If possible . I wanted to use this ability after absorbing ''Frozen Tears''. However. If the opponent is overworked, we have no choice but to send out something suitable for it. [The unique ability ''Sword Graveyard'' appears.] The one who saw the tip of the sword became a swordseong (), but the one who broke the tip became a swordsman (ħ). The strongest and worst talent. So, no one remembers him. All that was left was a single sword stuck in the nameless graveyard. This is a story about that madou. kukuku kuk kuk! An unimaginably horrific aura began to stir. The marble powder on the floor slowly rose into the air. right at that moment. [Lv1 ''Black Moon Night'' is activated!] A black moon fell over Jinhyuk''s dagger. The jet-black crescent moon that dyes even the light of the barrier. "Wow, what kind of absurd power " Cheon Yuseong, who was running, hardened as it was. This. Dangerous. CH 26 Swordseong () Cheonyuseong (2) Throb! Throb! Throb! Heavy pressure felt all over the body. Overloaded blood vessels scream. Jinhyuk frowned. indeed. ''Is this the aftermath of using the SS rank-specific abilities of the combat series?'' Until now, except for the element of fire, I had never used combat-type abilities, so I didn''t realize it. Now that I see it, I''m sure How important is the absolute amount of mana. If you want to use Teresa''s unique ability later... . No matter how many mana is, it will not be enough. Another reason to fully absorb the frozen tears has increased. ''For now, I have to finish it as soon as possible.'' If you drag it, your body can''t stand it. Jinhyuk gathered all the remaining mana. Whoops! A black energy fluttered at the tip of the sword. The sword sword used by sword demons (ħ). Although it is not even one-tenth of its original power. This is enough. not enough Whoops! Cheon Yuseong''s molars dug deep into his lips. Blood was oozing out, but I felt no pain. ''never This is unacceptable.'' I tried so hard to die. even in the game. even outside the game. However, no matter how hard he trained and tried, he couldn''t defeat the guy in front of him. The result is always a black and white screen. [Only the red letters that say You Die tell us how the hard work was.] So 1 year, 2 years... . So much time has passed that I can''t even count how many times I''ve read the message of death. The years of forgetting everything and giving up. right then [The Tower of Trials has come to reality.] That''s it! If only I could start all over again. There''s never any reason to be pushed by a guy. The current gap is only because we started the game first and dominated the good performances. However. Even after completing the preparations that I am sure are the best... . Why the hell?! You''re only bringing me despair again! Cheon Yuseong roared harshly. ''Chuhon Sword Dance (׷ꄦ)''. Sword Qi divided into dozens of stems. ''Equation 1''. The typified blue mana began to overflow. ''Chuhonsura Sword (׷FM)''. never never! I can not admit it! Cheon Yuseong, who shouted, swung his sword. like the claws of a beast. Dozens of Sword Qi swallowed Jinhyuk. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The ground was cut like a piece of paper. overwhelming power. The absurd physical force was forced simply by the sword wind. Only a thick layer of dust rose from the place where the storm had swept away. Ha ha... ha ha ha ha. Cheon Yoosung took a deep breath. My heart was pounding violently. He made full use of the best season he could have. This would definitely have worked. But. What skill makes so much dust? in the thick dust. jerk. Jinhyuk, without a single wound, appeared. it''s not blocked Nor was it accepted just avoided it. "Hey, you read all of the sword ?" Dozens or more? That''s absurd! Even he who wielded the sword did not know all the swords. It''s not that the Soul Sword is bad, but I''ve been fighting with someone who uses something faster and stronger than this. Not on the first floor where we are now, but much higher up. I''ve faced one of the Absolutes who rule the Tower. It''s funny. There is no ascending weapon on the Soul Sword other than that used by the Heavenly Demon. How did you know? Did you fight him? to the end! Cheon Yuseong drew the sword horizontally. At the same time. from above... . Under. Jinhyuk lowered his dagger. kwaang! Swords with different trajectories collided at one point. Kaga! The clash of qi and river. Blue sparks scattered in all directions. However, the balance did not last long. The fully manifested black moon swallowed up the strength of Cheonyuseong in an instant. Great! A heavy moan came out of Cheon Yu-seong''s mouth. Although I poured mana to the point that it was close to a runaway. Even that wasn''t enough. It''s not mana''s problem. It''s not a matter of skill or unique ability. It''s just that there is a difference between the two of how much they enjoyed and liked this world. at last. kuung! Cheon Yoosung knelt down on one knee. Gagging! kwaaang! In the subsequent blow, he lost the iron sword he was holding. The sword that rotated in the air was stuck on the ground. Finally, the victory was decided. I think I won again this time. I don''t know exactly how many approvals. The number was long forgotten. No matter how small it is, it seems like it''s over double digits. It is 13 8. 138. has that already happened? "Next time, it will be 139. Of course, if you think there is another chance of winning." At Jinhyuk''s words, Cheon Yoosung raised his eyes. Next? Okay, next time. Ah! If possible, I hope you come stronger than you are now. It takes 90 days to use the copy ability on the same target. And. If it is Cheon Yoo-seong that Jin-hyuk knows, the next time we meet, he will come with more useful abilities than now. ''Actually, you can make a business trip buffet come to you.'' What do you do with the painstaking copying while looking here and there? Is there someone in front of you who is anxious to become strong? It is my taste to grow this kind of guy slowly and eat it. ''Later on the 15th floor [I will save even that skill.''] When he thought of copying the giyeon that only a practitioner can get, the corner of Jinhyuk''s mouth naturally rose. sure. Kill it. I don''t need sympathy. From Cheon Yu-seong''s point of view, he has no choice but to accept this as cheap sympathy. this is true Even if he said he would save him, there is probably only one person in the world who doesn''t like him. can''t do it With a small sigh, Jinhyuk retrieved the dagger. As you know, the Tower of Trials is a formidable place. It''s here that rankers die the moment they''re vigilant, right? Talking about the difficulty of the tower only hurts my mouth. In particular, now that the variable ''person'' is added, the difficulty must have gone up a lot more than in the past. That''s why we need as many strong players as possible. Especially if it''s a particularly strong player like you. A particularly strong...a player? Cheon Yu-seong''s eyes trembled faintly. it''s a weird look Is it the feeling that the count''s foolish son, who had been neglected for the rest of his life, was finally recognized by his father? this has passed it is now Jinhyuk reached out toward Cheon Yooseong. In the meantime, another skill was activated. [Lv2 ''Communion'' is activated.] [The target''s hostility toward you is softened.] [The favorability has slightly increased.] Cheon Yu-seong, who stood up holding Jin-hyuk''s hand, brushed the dust off his body. ...it''s not wrong. But keep in mind. Next time, the result will be completely different from now. nothing you''re going to be bored Yeah, I''ll be looking forward to it. Jinhyuk smirked. By the way. Cheon Yu-seong, who was trying to release the barrier, stopped. By the way, I still don''t know your name. We don''t see each other very often, is there no need to even use a common name? Hey. you. there. hey etc. Aren''t personal pronouns used in this case? Yeah. I see. If that''s the case, then I''ll let you call me the way I used to. Yes? Do you feel something strong? no way . Wait! Don''t call me that. Jinhyuk exclaimed urgently. I''ll give you the name. please. Stop it, you bastard! Colonel Timo. Oh. Don''t call me... . Jinhyuk pressed his finger on his temple. At the same time, how much of a ripple effect a nickname created for fun can come. I realized once again. It''s also very harsh. When Jin-hyeok finished his battle with Cheon Yu-seong and was in the midst of acquiring items. Another strange thing was happening in the ruins. The raid is resting after one battle. Chunhwa hyung. Didn''t you arrange all the monsters in front of you? A magic player who used detection magic tilted her head. Uh. An hour ago, Gwang-il took the kids and swept them all away. Yeah? Hmm... why? No, it''s the mana reaction to the detection magic. It''s like one or two, but... I can''t. Specters, I know that they checked it three times to make sure it was dealt with. Look where. Song Chun-hwa approached the man. It really is. A red dot was displayed on the translucent screen displayed as a hologram. Ha. Gwang-il this bastard. Looks like he''s been busy with his work. Song Chun-hwa scratched his head. Sometimes this happens. There are cases where one or two ghost monsters that are easy to miss, such as Specter, are omitted. But right then. Huh? Now, wait a minute. He''s starting to move. What do you mean moving again? These guys, if they aren''t attracted to aggro, they''re standing still? It''s real! Besides, it''s fast. It''s coming straight this way! That moment. Ku-wu. Ku-wu! Footsteps began to be heard from nearby. The sound of footsteps that cannot exist in the ghost family. An earthquake occurred in Song Chun-hwa''s pupil. If, to the extent of if... . What if it wasn''t that Specter was missed, but a new existence that didn''t exist before? And what if no one noticed until they broke through the outer boundary and approached a short distance? creepy Goosebumps rose along the spine. "Right now wake up all those who are resting!" Me, all? Yeah, everything! Song Chun-hwa shouted. After a while, it was a huge golem that reached 3 meters and appeared in front of the raid. A massive body made of rock. However, what bothered me more than the golem was the white-haired man who was sitting on his shoulder. Hmm. Hello? Humans. A sweet voice revolving around the eardrum. The man smiled brightly at Song Chun-hwa. No, are you talking? Damn it. It''s supposed to be an intelligent monster. That golem isn''t just a golem, it''s an iron golem. It''s said that the cutlery won''t scratch anything. Each player spit out a single word. An intelligent monster with a reputation for being difficult to deal with. Among them, human-like entities belonged to the type that players avoided the most. Are you the boss monster of this ruin? Song Chun-hwa asked, covering his body with a huge shield. Haha, my name is Belus. I''m just one of the clan that serves the owner of this ruin. Blood kin? If it''s kin... Song Cheon-hwa''s pupils dilated greatly as he pondered the words. Stand, please. There is only one monster with a beautiful human appearance that uses that expression. vampire . And if that''s true. The owner of this ruin that that man is enshrining... . gulp! Dry saliva ran down Song Chun-hwa''s neck. Jinjo (). One of the strongest beings in the Tower of Trials. This is his territory. ''There is no chance of winning.'' I never imagined that there would be such a powerful monster on the first floor. No matter how much Teresa is there and even if she has a secret weapon she has prepared, Jinjo is an exception. ''At least the level will be over 500.'' At this point, it was impossible to hunt him with any unique abilities or relics. Song Cheon-hwa struggled to open her mouth. What do you want from us? You wouldn''t have come here for no reason? Hey. You''re a very smart person. That''s right. The reason I''ve come all the way here is to make a suggestion. Belus jumped off the golem''s shoulder. tuk. It is a light landing that seems to defy gravity. What if it''s a suggestion? I''ll give you a choice. You just have to choose one of the two. First, the first. Would all of you here quietly follow me? Or... Red mana began to condense on Belus'' palm. Would you like to be led like cattle after half dead by example? CH 27 Master of the Corrupted Corridor (1) It''s funny. I don''t know if Jinjo had come here himself. Does one of his blood relatives want to deal with all of us? Song Chun-hwa growled towards Belus. The damage will be quite large, but if the situation is like this, you can give up the raid and break through the guardian. This means that there is no need to fight Jinjo. But you foolishly think you''ll follow the enemy''s base. From Song Chun-hwa''s point of view, it wasn''t too early. Hmm. Do you really think so? I''m not good enough on my own? Of course. At most, level 50 monsters, I''ve already hunted several times. Jinjo''s normal level is 500 or higher. However, the blood relatives following him were much lower in level than that. At 50, at most, around 60? It is true that it is strong, but it was enough to hunt if the raid was perfectly positioned. ''This is definitely information that was officially released on the bulletin board of the Tower of Trials in the past.'' Song Chun-hwa took a confident pose. Haha. Again! I don''t know why humans are so bound to the level frame. Belus let out a joking smirk. And that moment. Pants! A red spark occurred. The air changed rapidly. At the same time, the smile on Belus'' lips disappeared. How dare inferior humans who don''t even know the subject... are they making fun of me? [Belus activates Lv11 ''Blood Bind''!] It was then that the blood splattered. Thousands of drops of blood the size of a child''s fist engulfed the tanks in an instant. Huh? Uh huh? What is this? Dispel, dispel quickly! The panicked tanks shouted. Even when wearing items that increase magic resistance, the body does not move. However, just before the dispel is used. Belus grabbed her open palm. Pupper Pupper Puck! kwaduk! kwaduduk! Aww! Aww! The great pressure shattered the armor. You don''t even need to know what happened to the person inside. In the fountain of blood gushing out. You idiots! Are you going to stand still and wait for it to heal? Move now! Song Chun-hwa ordered an attack. Damn! Run! You must kill me before the next magic activates! Proximity dealers swarmed their seats. While building a siege network, they all attacked from the blind spot. Most were blocked by a shield made of blood, but . Whoops! Whoops! Very few swords and spears succeeded in piercing Belus'' body. Drops of blood dripping down the blade. But that''s all. Belus didn''t raise an eyebrow. It''s disappointing. At least, you should have attacked with the Holy Power level on your weapon. end with that Bubbly! The bodies of the dealers surrounding Belus were turned into a handful of blood. The crushed meat pieces fell to the floor. attack doesn''t work On the other hand, the opponent''s attack was not powerful enough to overwhelm the entire raid. Uh, how could a blood clan be so strong... Song Chun-hwa muttered in disbelief. Then, a thought suddenly crossed my mind. That''s enough of the power of just one clan. How strong is the Jinjo that leads this? I couldn''t even imagine. Even if you lead all the top players who are attacking the 3rd floor boss. I couldn''t be sure if I would dare to succeed in the raid. " " Song Chun-hwa hung his shield. I have to live right now. I had to survive to be able to deliver this news outside. Are you surrendering? "Before that, I would like to ask you one thing." "It''s a question it''s fine. Let me tell you where." Why are you dragging us away? For Belus, annihilating the raid didn''t seem too difficult. If you put your mind to it, it would have taken less than an hour. But why do you do such a troublesome thing? To use you as bait. Bait? "There is a human that our master is interested in, and one of them knows how to handle divine power. So we decided to use a simpler method." This . It''s about Teresa. Was she the one she was aiming for? The situation was hopeless, but Song Chun-hwa''s mind quickly began to search for possibilities. ''If the paladin Teresa joins us... .'' It may very well be able to create a gap. It''s not about winning by fighting, it''s about living and getting out of this place. The worries didn''t last long. ...I see. Follow me. Song Chun-hwa nodded. Then he stabbed himself in the palm of his hand with his thumb. [Emergency call scrolling has been activated.] [The designated target is ''Theresa de Laurencia''.] The blue status window flickered. Now all I can believe is this. Song Chun-hwa prayed earnestly in her heart. please . I hope that all of this will pass on to her. Jinjo (), Elise von Ataraxia. She is also one of the strongest in the Tower of Trials. No, he was strong. Because he broke the clan''s taboo, he was corrupted. As a result, he was exiled to the lowest floor of the tower. That is why the name of the ruins is ''Corridor of the Fallen''. In the sense of a royal palace located in the abyss, inhabited by Elise and a small number of kinsmen who follow her. ''It''s a story unknown to the world.'' Jinhyuk slowly opened his eyes. Then a status window appeared in front of me. A little while ago, it was a kind of invitation that came in the form of a personal Quest. [The owner of the corridor invites you.] [If you want to save the players and porters belonging to the raid, please come to the innermost room.] [[Difficulty: None] Reward: Meeting with the owner of the corridor Description: If you accept the Quest, all monsters and traps in the last room will stop.] "How are you going to do it?" Theresa glanced at Jinhyuk. You''re bound by a contract, so of course you have to go help. It wasn''t Jinhyeok who came as a porter from a non-combat family. I do nothing like this and wait. A few days later, when the rescue team breaks through the Guardian, just go outside. Jinhyuk shrugged. Well. What should I do? Yes? I don''t really want to risk it, but I can go with you if he asks you earnestly. If it''s a request... what? That''s it. You just need to indicate your last name in moderation. You see, I heard that you have a pretty strong subscriber base, right? Jinhyuk rounded his fingers. knowing everything Why are the players like this? Not money, but coins. If you just fill in the five-digit number and give it to me, your dying will will rise. It''s a bad hobby. Didn''t you have something to see with the boss anyway? Cheon Yu-seong, who was watching, clicked his tongue. Oh, that''s it. This is this. I''m not forcing you, you''re just asking Teresa for her opinion? Besides, you''re not going out of the ruins, are you? Yes. The purpose of my coming here has already failed. Then, go on your way quietly. Don''t sprinkle red pepper powder on a warm deal for nothing. Jinhyuk waved his hand as if he was annoyed. Then Cheon Yu-seong made an even more pathetic expression. ...sometimes I think about it. I wonder if I can become strong by being vicious like you. this child? Whoa. Okay. Let''s not talk. Saying it, I''m the only one who loses. Besides, it wasn''t wrong. Jinhyuk sighed and opened his mouth to Teresa. So. What are you going to do? "If I give you a coin will you rescue the raid with me?" I can''t promise much, but I''ll make sure you don''t feel like you''re wasting at least 10,000 coins. ten thousand coins. It''s an absurd request that anyone hears it and starts swearing at it. Those who have collected 10,000 coins at this point must have been counted. However, if he could save the entire raid, it was an amount he could pay. However, there''s only one thing that bothers me... . Aren''t you afraid, Jinhyuk? It''s not a normal raid, it''s a situation where you have to face the apex of a species. Coins when you die. All relics are useless. nevertheless. Well. Should I be afraid? Jinhyuk smiled strangely. so casual A smile as if he knew what the outcome would be. " " Teresa pursed her lips. A statement closer to arrogance rather than confidence. But why? pounding! pounding! pounding! Teresa''s heart pounded faintly with strange anticipation. Now you have to choose. Are you going to follow the theory of probability or... . Should I trust my intuition? That was when the trouble continued. I''ll just go for it. It''s going to take a while to break through the Guardian. Cheon Yuseong turned around with his iron sword drawn. Ah, one thing. Then I paused for a moment as I remembered something. If it''s hard to make a decision, listen carefully. He glanced at Jinhyuk with a slightly displeased and displeased expression. I don''t know if that guy can defeat Jinjo. Since it was a third party standing by, it was impossible to guarantee a win. However. Because he was the one who shared swords countless times. And because I know you better than anyone. Only one thing could be predicted. If that guy can''t get over it, no other player in existence can defeat Jinjo. swordsman of the past. The player who will become the future swordsman recognized it. Who is the best player among the players currently in the Tower of Trials? And if you can play with that player with 10,000 coins. Also that it is never a loss-making business. It was a silly self-talk. Of course, I''m not the one making the decision. Cheon Yu-seong, who murmured, moved the stopped steps again. ...the advice, thanks. Teresa nodded her head. And as if determined, he slightly bent his knees toward Jinhyuk. I will make a contract. Please, fight with me. [You have accepted the Quest. (2/2 people)] [Monsters go to sleep.] [The trap stops working.] kukuku kuk! Various traps and monsters that protected the entire ruins were silent. Thanks to you, the road went pretty smoothly. Because it condensed a journey that would have taken at least several weeks into hours. [Mana increases by +12.] Jinhyuk slowly absorbed the ''frozen tears'' that Teresa had thawed. [Frozen Tears] Acquisition Difficulty: SS Absorbable mana: 100 Description: This is the essence that can be obtained from ''End of the World'' on the 7th floor of the Tower of Trials. It greatly increases mana when absorbed, but if it does not go through a specific refining process, it inflicts fatal wounds on the user.] '' It''s really fun.'' 12 stats. In terms of level, it means that you have raised level 4. Jinhyuk felt a markedly changed mana with his whole body. When ''Tomb of the Sword'' was activated, it was painful as if the whole blood vessel was going to be torn apart. Now the pain has eased. That''s why everyone seems to be doing mana, mana. ''The total amount is 100, so if you can absorb all of this... .'' You will be able to freely use the unique abilities and skills of other rankers, as well as Cheon Yuseong''s ''Sword Grave'' and Teresa''s ''Blessing of the Stars''. ''Teresa''s defrosting is limited to 12 stats, so for the time being, I''ll have to be satisfied with this.'' 12, 18, 30, 40. A total of 4 steps. Depending on the skill that can alleviate the cold, the amount of Yang Saber that can be absorbed varies. This means that you need a person with a higher skill level or a special item to go to the next level. ''Well, I''ll think about this later.'' Right now, you need to focus on what''s right in front of you. Jinhyuk followed the memories of the past in his head. Countless challenges and failures. And the only bow found at the end. also. No matter how you think about it, there is only one way to defeat Elise. It was never an easy thorny road. I just have to break through it somehow. Not much left now. The passage started getting wider and wider. CH 28 Master of the Corrupted Corridor (2) How long would you have walked like that? Finally, a huge door appeared in front of them. Decorations reminiscent of ancient Greece. However, it is not the appearance that is of concern. ''This .'' Jinhyuk frowned. Jerrit! Jerrit! It''s a huge mana. Even though there is a door that blocks mana, it''s such a pressure. Glancing to the side, Teresa''s face had turned to earth-colored. Hey, do we have to deal with this monster alone? His voice trembled softly. yea that''s the way it is The mana that pierces the skin now. Because I felt like I was trampling on my will to fight. You don''t have to be scared. Did you know that your opponent is strong anyway? "Yeah, that''s it, but " Besides, in battle, the stronger side doesn''t always win. Strategies and tactics were created to overcome the inferiority of the power. If all the games were decided simply by the size of mana... . ''I would never have reached the last floor of the tower either.'' Do you have any plans? Only one thing. No matter what happens inside me, please believe in me. Jinhyuk let out a short breath and pulled out a dagger. Yeah? Is that what? Theresa asked, but Jinhyuk did not answer. instead. profit... . He reached out and opened the door. A spectacular view unfolded with a dazzling light. Floors and columns made of gold. In the place where the red veil was long, there was a noble throne. It''s finally here. I''m tired of waiting. The woman who was holding her chin smiled. Jinhyuk looked at his opponent head-on. ''It''s amazing no matter how many times you see it.'' Long silver hair that reached to her waist and red eyes. A body that is not alluring and even has a decadent beauty. Indeed, it looks like a vampire blessed with immortality. That guy alone is terrible... . There were twelve blood relatives lined up next to Jinjo. They all look like they''re not forgiving. Are people safe? I haven''t touched a single fingertip, so don''t worry. Alice beckoned lightly. OK. [Lv?? Dimensional severance is broken.] The veil was lifted, and the captives appeared. Ugh! Eup! Eup! Ouch! She is tied up with her senses blocked by a gag and blindfold. From the raid including Song Chun-hwa. Even Captain Kim and the porters. Most seemed unharmed. thank God. [Lv2 ''Eyes of Truth'' is activated.] Jinhyuk looked at people using his ''eyes of truth''. Dozens of status windows passing by. Mana consumption was extreme, but Jinhyuk was overworked and checked everyone''s names and status. have to find among these . ''that guy''. right then Now that I see the hostages are safe, is it my turn to ask a question? Alice, who had been waiting, opened her mouth. That''s just asking for words, rather than a one-sided message to answer unconditionally. If he refuses, he will kill all the humans in this palace. Ask. In fact, I''m curious as to why I had such a difficult game. "It is the smell that emanates from you that I have invited you to this place." Smell? It doesn''t smell like sweat. If it''s a smell that can provoke vampires... no way? Yes. The scent of blood emanating from your body! A sweet scent that is incomparable to normal humans stimulated me. shit. It''s a B-type guy all over the street, and suddenly it''s a sweet bloody taryeong. Jinhyuk pressed his temple with his index finger. You look very upset. Then suck the blood and mummify it, is there anyone who won''t be upset? I''m not an idiot who eats delicious things all at once. I''ll allow at least 60 years of life, so don''t be too afraid. Hearing that makes me even more reassured. That, in one word, ''I''ll keep you by my side for the rest of my life and stick a straw around my neck whenever I''m hungry'', right? I appreciate the favor, but I don''t want to live with a vampire''s fancy lunch box. Find such a sadistic hobby elsewhere. Because there will be people you like among them. I''m sorry, but I didn''t mean to make a choice. I know. I don''t mean to do it with my mouth... I''ll give you something else instead of blood. Oh. Did the blatant offer intrigue you? The smile on Alice''s mouth grew a little darker. But it was only for a short time. Nothing is more precious to us than delicious blood. No matter what you suggest, my heart will not change. What if it were even ''freedom''? ...!? At Jinhyuk''s words, Alice''s face changed. At the same time. dare! You brought that word out of here! I''ll tear you apart. Human! The vampires lined up to the left and right of Elise shouted all at once. Life was oozing out of the horse. yea that''s the way it is For them, freedom meant more than just a word. The years spent in exile in the endless darkness. The beauty of the stars and the moon illuminating the night sky. The soft feel of the wind and the freshness of the grass. All were long lost. "You bastard the words you spit out now. You should be able to take responsibility." If I couldn''t take responsibility, I wouldn''t have come here in the first place. Jinhyuk took the mask out of his arms. It was a black mask engraved with geometric patterns. It was also used in the labyrinth, but the shape was slightly different from that time. On the right cheek stood out a rune inscribed with mana. that''s . Alice''s eyes narrowed. also. you find out The meaning of this mask. Jinhyuk bowed deeply. Since we have thrown away enough rice cakes, it is time to get the main point out. My name is Jinhyuk Kang. let''s brainwash On behalf of the demons in the tower. The character I am currently playing. And. I''ll get you out of here from now on. Even the character''s personality and goals. Demon (ħ). It refers to those who have turned their backs on humanity for money, revenge, or personal beliefs. The mines prevented the players from climbing the tower. He even held hands with monsters in the labyrinth or ruins. right, just like now. After the Tower of Trials came into reality. [A number of evil deeds, including Coin Farm, are being treated hotly in various media outlets, so the level of awareness of the demons is no less than that of other large guilds. I''ve heard of them. But, are you one of them? Elise put on a look of disbelief. Well, the mask alone will not be enough to convince you. if so. Just let me know. Information that only mine can know. On the 27th floor of the tower [ We have already been in contact with the temple. They taught us all about Ellis-sama''s presence here and how to deceive the seals surrounding the entire ruins. ] Words that come out without interruption. It''s a bonus that there is even a casual expression attached to it. Indeed... if you know about the temple, it''s not just a lie. Then, do you believe me? no. Elise shook her head. You know too much about us, and you say that you can do things in one step that you thought were impossible for many years. A beautiful rose has thorns. More than anything else, I can''t easily trust a guy who only talks. reject. If it was just a request or a suggestion, it would have been enough if we could just shake hands and leave. Rejection here is death. Alice slowly raised her hand. The vampires who were lined up were dazzling. As soon as the order was given, Jinhyeok was captured and Teresa was about to be killed. It''s not as easy as you think. I''m not wasting my age, is this? If you prove that it''s not just words, are you saying that you can believe it then? Hmm? Elise stopped raising her hand. "It would be a burden to kick the temple and our offer simply by heartache, right?" " " I''ll do anything. If only I had the chance to be a Primary God. Okay. If you''re really a magician... Alice''s gaze passed through Jinhyuk and turned to the back. You wouldn''t feel any reluctance to kill humans. A blue status window appeared with the horse. [Unexpected Quest] What it is: Kill an ally with you. Reward: Elise''s Trust On Failure: No words will be able to convince Elise. either kill either die Only one of the two options. And Jinhyuk... . All right. Without hesitation, he grabbed the dagger. Feeling the joy that everything is going according to plan. What the hell are you doing now! Teresa shouted with a face stained with betrayal and anger. He was a strange man from the first time I met him. Although he was a porter, he showed an overwhelming dance. A mysterious and somehow warm impression. So, I remembered the words I had been told to believe and endured and endured. However. The moment I saw him nodding his head without hesitation when he told him to kill his comrade. Doubt turned into certainty. The opponent''s identity was really one of the demons. "From the beginning were you planning to use me?" Isn''t that kind of question meaningless now? Jinhyuk extended his dagger forward. As if there was no need for conversation. It won''t be easy. Teresa covered herself with a shield. Are you going to stick with defense? I know theresa is not an easy opponent. It is not for nothing that there is a legend that he alone blocked the Outbreak of Amsterdam. But that''s the story of dealing with monsters. "Have you ever fought against humans ?" fault! Jinhyuk''s new model disappeared. ...! back! Theresa turned her head. Kak kak! A heavy shock transmitted to the shield. The dagger scraped the iron and disappeared. ''Fast!'' Besides, this move. It''s anomalous and it''s disgusting. Kak! Kaka Kaka! Teresa''s complexion turned white at the frantic attack. I thought that if I just focus on defense, I could survive. It was a huge mistake. 5 minutes like this? No, three minutes . That moment when you bit your lip. Oh . A sad sigh escaped Teresa''s lips. I read the number wrong. As a result, the response was wrong. Of course, it wasn''t Jinhyuk who would miss that gap. Whoops! A gap left open for smooth movement of a joint. The dagger dug into places not protected by armor. Teresa''s body shook violently. An artery had been cut, and red blood gushed from the wound like a fountain. fatal wound. Ah... uh... Teresa, who was moaning, eventually fell down. And he died just like that. ''One would not be enough.'' Jinhyeok, who wiped the blood from the dagger, turned around. A trembling raid. Jinhyuk stood in front of ten of them. I''m sure it was confirmed through the ''eyes of truth''. Ududuk! Jinhyuk broke the gag of the man in the front of them and took off the eyepatch. Then the man whose freedom had been restrained burst into cheers. Oh, the rescue team go! Thank you! Thanks to you, I survived huh? The man, who had been overcome with emotion, interrupted his speech on the way. Immediately, his face contorted in astonishment. On the other hand. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. Hi? long time no see you fucking bastard CH 29 Master of the Corrupted Corridor (3) A player belonging to the Black Crow Guild. It was Park Ha-jin. No, that''s absurd. Park Ha-jin''s voice trembled violently. It''s really a relationship to meet you here. So, what made you come this far? Jin-hyuk smiled brightly and grabbed Park Ha-jin''s neck like lightning. Kek! Keek! That of course ! You came to attack the ruins? Yeah, yes. You''re bullshit. Jinhyuk gave more strength to his hands. Shut up. Let''s talk about this, please. Su, breath... I''m going to be brief, so answer only yes or no. They killed the sentries and woke up the guardians. Are you right? Uh, what is that... Ududuk! Aaaaaaah! Park Ha-jin twisted her body. When I pressed the collarbone with my thumb, terrible pain came. That''s right! That''s right! also. I was convinced when I saw the wounds on the guards'' necks. This wound is said to have been done by an assassin-type capable person. And the fact that the assassination series, which is not necessary for attacking the ruins, has come Park Ha-jin. Yeah, it''s only you. The purpose of coming here, at least, must be to kill me. That, that! An earthquake occurred in Park Ha-jin''s pupil. If you say no in a situation where you can neither subtract nor beat, the other person will not believe you. If you say yes, then you die. Are you slow to answer? Jinhyuk''s teeth were wrinkled. At the same time, the finger carrying mana dug into Park Ha-jin''s shoulder. Uduk! Ududuk! The terrifying sound of the clavicle being shattered. Aaaaaah! Stop, stop! I''ll tell you. So stop! Park Ha-jin''s body twisted more violently than before. Wait, wait. I... Yeah! That''s what our guild leader did. I said no, but he threatened me, so I had to do it! If you are the guild leader of the Black Crow Guild... . Is that guy Shin Gun-soo? I''ve seen it on TV. It was a program like a ''emerging guild special feature'' or something. It was hard to forget the appearance of him hanging out in a high-class suit and black sunglasses. That''s right! Shin Gun-soo! That bastard made it. Please trust me. Okay. I''ll believe you. Jinhyuk took his strength away from his hand. Whoa. Park Ha-jin let out a long sigh. Don''t be relieved. I have no intention of saving you. Whoops! The dagger pierced into the flesh. "Big billions?" Park Ha-jin blankly looked down at her chest. It was exactly where the heart was. Originally, I don''t spend my life comfortably, but thanks to you, I made it easier, so I was especially kind. Thank you. Jinhyuk spoke coldly and took the ring off Park Ha-jin''s finger. [Braham''s Ring] Acquisition Difficulty: A Magic Resistance: +10 Movement Speed: +5% Unique Ability Suppression: +20 For a dead person to possess, it is an excessively precious item. Jinhyuk put the ring on his index finger. Scratch! And relentlessly cut down the remaining assassins of the Black Crow Guild. [I don''t know if it was because of the cold heart effect, but there was no mercy in Jinhyuk''s hands. Besides, he didn''t do anything stupid enough to show humanity against the guys who were aiming for his own life.] In the bloody scene. Jinhyuk turned his head and looked at Elise. I think this is enough to prove that I''m a magician? The vampires were most reluctant to deal with Teresa and even killed the hostages they had held. If you think about the future, you can never do it. Easing the other''s vigilance through ''sympathy'' also helped to move Elise''s heart in a small way. Okay. If I say I believe in you. Elise stood up. Long silver hair ran down her shoulders. In what way are you giving us freedom? great. Jinhyuk calmed his fast beating heart. let''s be calm Don''t get excited, take it easy... . Now that the fish has bitten the bait, it''s time to slowly pull the line. We have prepared a 7-star spell. If you seal Elise-sama''s soul in the item, you can temporarily deceive the barrier of the ruins. Sealing the soul? That''s the first I''ve heard of it. That''s right. Because this method only comes from the 40th floor of the tower. "Honestly, it was quite a bit of luck. It was not easy to figure out the exact amount of mana that I had to supply to each circuit in the formula that would be the gist of it." Jinhyuk pulled mana together with his fingers. uuung! A blue light shone on his fingertips. His fingers crossed the air as if writing letters. One word. [signc?lum] And another one. [immortl?tas] [sanctuar?um] . I drew a six-word six-word planet. As each word was infused with a different amount of mana, the blue light began to burn more fiercely. Whoops! The fleshy spirit exuded an unusual energy. Oh. Alice gave her a slightly surprised expression. This. "Is it possible to use it that way?" The blood relatives who were watching also opened their mouths. As if overwhelmed by the sight for the first time, his lips were soft. In the meantime, Jinhyeok held the ''Braham''s Ring'' in the middle of the six planets. [The level condition (Level 1) of the caster ''Jinhyuk Kang'' has been accepted.] [The 7-star ''Soul Transfer (`D)'' chant is activated!] [The order is completed when the target''s approval is obtained.] [You can only take out one soul at a time.] [Youngchang''s cooldown is 365 days.] Only one person can leave the ruins. The next turn was possible only a year later. Time was not an issue for the vampire who received the blessing of immortality... . ''I''m not very reluctant to accept the first order I''ve ever seen.'' Alice''s fine eyes twitched. But it was only for a short time. A smile appeared on the corner of his wrinkled lips. I discovered the loophole of this young chant. ''If you break the sensual castle, which is the basis of the chanting, you can destroy the ritual itself.'' Anyway, no matter what Excellent grade he had... . This means that as long as there are blood relatives, including Belus, you can kill humans and break the seal at any time. This provided a safety device. There was still a feeling of embarrassment. ''You can''t just throw away this opportunity just because it''s absurd.'' It was a life that had been locked up for so long. So, it was hard to resist the temptation to be free. If not now... . Perhaps you will never be able to escape from this underground palace. The worries didn''t last long. I see. Don''t accept it. Elise nodded her head. Then that moment. [Braham''s ring absorbs the spirit of the original ''Ellis''.] A dazzling light enveloped Alice''s whole body. haha. Jinhyuk retrieved the ring that was in the Six Mangsong. pounding! pounding! My heart was pounding wildly. succeded! It feels like all the hard work you''ve been through is being rewarded. It would have been impossible to seal Elise inside this if even one was off. In fact, it has failed dozens of times in the past. ''The variable called Theresa made things a lot easier.'' [Hmm. It''s not as bad as you think I thought it would be stuffy, but it''s surprisingly cozy.] Alice''s voice was heard from the ring on the palm of her hand. The inside looked pretty nice. I''m glad. I like the house I will live in in the future. That was then. Uh... A thin moan came from Teresa, who was lying on the floor. Hey, how''s that girl! Isn''t he dead? The blood relatives opened their eyes. Obviously, it was confirmed that he had stopped breathing. I even looked at mana''s reaction just in case, but I didn''t feel anything. unmistakable death. By the way. Why? Ah... I forgot. That friend, even if you die, you will be resurrected once. It''s called ''Blessing of the Stars''. If you don''t die instantly, you''ll come back to life. Jinhyuk burst into exclamation as he saw Teresa getting up from her seat. hey really. The more you look at it, the better it is. Isn''t the term sex cockroach just coming out of nowhere? [You guys! How dare you despise me!] Elise shouted. Now that I realized that I was deceived, I could only be angry. On the other hand, Teresa, who came to her senses, muttered with a complicated face. Oh my... it was a plan. With the Blessing of the stars, I was able to watch all the sights even when my heart stopped. Roast and boil Jinjo with a sensible skill. Until it was finally sealed. entire. That''s why I told you to believe unconditionally... . There are many things I want to ask you, but now I have to put up with it? It''s not because we''re talking or talking to each other. Yes. Chatting is a later thing. Because it''s not all over yet. [Theresa activates Lv4 ''Holy Arc''.] Theresa''s sword moved left and right. Tuk! Too Wook! The bridles and eyepatch that restrained people were removed. Ugh . Huh! People whose senses were blocked exhaled harshly. Sa, I lived. I lived! Wow! Cheers erupted from everywhere. I just thought I was going to die. It was a taste of freedom again. You came. Song Chun-hwa briefly bowed to Teresa. I''m glad it''s not too late. Teresa made Song Cheon-hwa stand up. How many rescuers are there? Three or more of the main raids of a large guild must be deployed. Even at a minimum, that amount of power was required. However. "Excluding me, there is only one." The words that came out of Teresa''s mouth completely crushed Song Chun-hwa''s expectations. "If I had acted like a demon, I would have saved my life." You''re like a stupid human... Blood relatives exposed their molars. A situation where you have been ordered to eliminate all humans if you call Excellent grade. There was no need to look any further. Shoot AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAah Various magics composed of blood began to encroach on the surroundings. Drops of blood gathered and made one huge wave. The created waves increased in height as if they were swallowing up the entire palace. It is a mana that is so powerful that it gives you goosebumps. T, you''re wrong. "I thought I was barely living " I... I don''t want to die! Already once, that skill was smashed. Tanks that were not pushed even against large bells were torn like a piece of paper. The magic of various dealers was erased by the higher level magic. It was a memory like a nightmare. The problem is that the same thing is happening over and over again before the wound has even healed. Song Chun-hwa bit his lip as if in anger. ...is it this far? It''s no use even if Teresa is here. Because there were 11 more blood relatives than at that time. The power difference didn''t diminish in the slightest. right at that moment. [Lv13 ''Blood Wave'' is activated!] KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A wave of blood came rushing in. can''t stop can''t be avoided " " Song Chun-hwa closed his eyes. Others shook their heads or covered their heads with their hands. waiting for death to come. However. ...? The impact of the waves was not felt. There was also no pain. Song Chun-hwa carefully opened his eyes. Then there. A man in a strange mask stood there. Whoops! A huge fire barrier stopped the waves. No, it''s not just about equalizing blocking. As the moisture evaporated, the blood droplets gradually disappeared. As if to tell which one speaks the denser mana. Who is it? ''On the mask... I''ve never heard of a ranker using a dagger.'' It must be the first person you see. But does that make sense? Is it that a player who uses such powerful fire magic is unknown? I can''t believe it even looking at it. So, I had no choice but to ask. Hey, who the hell is that person? At Song Chun-hwa''s question, there was a soft smile on Teresa''s lips. "He is someone you must trust." CH 30 Master of the Corrupted Corridor (4) How can a human... Belus murmured in disbelief. yea that''s the way it is Now the attack has spared no mana to wipe out humans in one blow. By the way. why the hell How could he be able to stop him so easily? Jinhyuk shrugged. The skill and fire attributes you use are at odds with each other. In addition, the level difference has been reversed due to the gap stats and adaptive stats. If this kind of situation were in place... . don''t have confidence Jill herself. "The moment Ellis is sealed, the chances of you winning are gone." Certainly, it seems difficult to defeat with magic. He scattered the mana that Belus had gathered. But, as you said, if there is a polar opposite... it will be difficult to receive a melee attack with magic, right? Suddenly, a blackish sword appeared in his right hand. It was a rapier used by vampires. Furthermore. [Belus activates Lv9 ''Dark Speculation''!] A black energy flowed smoothly from the sword. It''s Sword Qi. It''s also pretty pure. There''s nothing like this when dealing with people who just run away like flies. It''s not wrong. Because magic-type abilities increase the risk extremely as soon as the distance is reduced. Besides, it was a move that had a good chance of winning if it was attacked at the same time with a number of twelve. Yes. That is the essence. It''s true, but... . Who is it? Am I only strong at magic? [The unique ability ''Sword Graveyard'' is activated!] in the quiet silence. The talent of a swordsman who dominated an era permeated Jinhyuk''s body. changes everything you see and feel. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart was beating wildly. From microscopic muscle movements. Until the process of mana flowing. The world seen through the mask was completely different from what it was before. ''indeed It seems that he got the title of Gumma by stealing it.'' The corner of Jinhyuk''s mouth went up. '' what?'' Belus tilted his head. just now. Something has changed. It''s hard to say exactly, but the atmosphere has completely changed. Parr. faintly trembling hands. no way. ''Are you afraid?'' this me? Belus bit his molars to crush them. Don''t be funny...don''t. Are you afraid of a human? It cannot be, nor should it be. Above all else, we must break the fleshly nature that is redeeming Him right now. No time to waste Belus grabbed the sword. No matter how hard you try, you won''t be able to get Sword Qi. A strong burning black energy. It was the Sword Qi, which was evaluated as having extreme cutting power. Attack all at once. Keep in mind. You must never miss it. I''m going to have to cut off one of my limbs. That way I won''t get angry. Blood relatives formed a siege towards Jinhyeok. front and back left and right. Not a single ant can escape. However, Jinhyeok stood still and did not respond at all. He just glances at the enemies with a grim expression. Sword Qi. Was that the only thing you believed in? Don''t be pretentious. No matter how flying or creeping you are, you can''t get out of here. Well, if you just say it, it will look like a bluff. It was a situation where anyone could see who had an advantage and a disadvantage. if so. just show it with skills, not words. Jinhyuk put mana into the dagger. OK. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The light was so bright that it hurt my eyes. Hey, this can''t be... Belus'' eyes exploded as if they were about to explode. At best, it is different from the Sword Qi, which covers the surface of the sword. A blue energy that completely enveloped the dagger and soared about 1m above it. no doubt This. Oh, Aura blade? Injecting energy into the sword. Shouldn''t it be at least this much? Jinhyuk extended his dagger forward. The sharpness that seems to cut even the air. An overwhelming force was directed at the blood relatives. fault! It was then that the new model disappeared. Uh, is it gone? Where are you? Where are you? Damn. Don''t chase with your eyes, detect mana! Belus shouted, but it was too late. Aww! Red blood gushed from the shoulder of the vampire on the far side. Since his arm was completely cut off, it will take some time, no matter how resilient a vampire is. ''Once a guy.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes followed the next target. Starting with a strictly weaker order. Finally, the strong one. No matter how confident he is of victory, he is not vigilant. Scratch! The dagger drew a circle. Gagging! When a wind hole broke through his thigh, a short scream escaped the vampire''s mouth. so another guy [Stop right now... !] I think Elise is yelling something, but I can''t hear it very well. Because he had already shoved Braham''s ring deep into his inner pocket before the fight even started. Don''t play separately, keep your formation! Don''t be fooled by your opponent''s attacks! Belus put a belt around his neck. ! Sheesh! It was then that the vampires took a pose. They filled the void of the wounded and reinforced the flanks. Shoot it! Ten rapiers exploded towards Jinhyuk. The moment the sword and the sword collided. KwaKwaKwang! The rapier was split into dozens of fragments. The shattered blade. Again, with Sword Qi, you can''t stand the sword. ''Does not matter. Even if you lose half, you only need to make one successful attack.'' Sacrifice is inevitable. That was what Belus himself knew best than anyone else. Boo-woong! Boo Woong! However, all rapiers only cut through the air. He couldn''t even chase after Jinhyuk''s shadow. 30 seconds... 1 min. As time passed, Belus''s face gradually turned earthy. ''Even if you are ready to throw your life away, you don''t even become an opponent.'' In the meantime, this number was decreasing one by one. have you always been I don''t even know how it happened. It''s like dealing with a ghost. puck! Another one fell. There are no more blood relatives by my side. shit. now I don''t know what Belus felt a chilling energy approaching from behind. And that''s it. It was the last scene he remembered. The fight is over. so foolishly No, saying that it is useless is just a word that only applies to the person involved, Jinhyuk. Those who watched the whole process couldn''t lift a finger in the thrill that wrapped around their whole body. Mr. Teresa... Song Chun-hwa stuttered and opened his mouth. What did you see now? Was this real? To wipe out the clan of Jinjo alone that even the raid team couldn''t touch. No ranker can do this. gulp! Dry saliva ran down Song Chun-hwa''s throat. That man. Do you know who he is? " " Theresa did not answer. Instead, he glanced at Jinhyuk. that you are wearing a mask. It means you don''t want to reveal your identity in front of people. We met by chance in the middle and came together. He just told me to trust him, but he didn''t tell me any other details... so I don''t know. Is that so... Ah!? Song Chun-hwa, who reluctantly nodded, let out a sigh. It was because he saw Jinhyuk wearing a mask trying to do something. Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Song Chun-hwa ran to Jin-hyuk at once. Why? Jinhyuk, who was in front of the relic, looked back. "That I''m Song Cheon-hwa, the engineering commander who is leading this raid." "I know a little bit about it." Responsible for the failed raid. An incompetent commander who is scarier than the enemy. If it were me, I would have been crumpled in the corner even if I was shy. What face are you talking to? done. This guy doesn''t even know what he''s doing wrong. Take the wounded and leave the ruins. Your stamina is very low, so you will need water and simple nutrition. Jinhyuk waved his hand as if it was bothering him. By the way. Song Chun-hwa did not think about leaving the seat as if in trouble. Well, before that, I have something to tell you about the relic. no way. Are you claiming the right to relics here? Wow. This is a bigger guy than I thought. I don''t know if you know this, but the ownership of all items obtained in this raid belongs to our Balhae Guild... Jinhyuk cut off Song Cheonhwa''s words in the middle. You saved my life, but what about the relics? Dogs are also very annoying. It''s so novel that you can''t wait to see what he''s going to say next. Song Chun-hwa was also stabbed, and he quickly added. Instead, we''ll pay you another reward. Whether it''s money or coins, we''ll take care of it so you won''t be disappointed. It''s a reward... this can''t be done I hadn''t even thought of doing this. You can''t help it if you want it so much. You don''t have to. Just take it. Sleep. Jinhyuk took a step back. Are you really okay with that? Okay. Instead, just don''t regret it. Whatever the outcome. Yes? It was just a word. Jinhyuk shrugged. Song Chun-hwa felt uncomfortable, but then he brushed his hair. They give away relics, because there is no reason to refuse. A piece of wood lying on a wide rock. That''s Merlin''s Wand. It was one of the 7 broken fragments, but that did not diminish its value. ''If you use it as a magic material, the useful value is really limitless.'' Song Chun-hwa''s eyes were stained with greed. If you take this, you will be able to make up for the blemishes that the raid had captured to some extent. But the moment I grabbed the shards with my hands. hot and I felt a burning pain. Song Chun-hwa was surprised and released his hand. However, what surprised him more than his reddened skin. It was an inverted cross-shaped pattern on the palm of the hand. What, what is this? what... . It''s a curse. Originally, it was a relic that could only be obtained by destroying Elise. However, in a situation where Elise did not die and was sealed, it was natural that she would be cursed because she touched the relic. Hey, that''s a curse! No way... are you going to die? Me? It''s not life-threatening. It''s just... only? It''s called alopecia. The hair all over the body disappears. Simply put, it means you have to live a smooth life for the rest of your life. Yeah, it can''t be. Song Chun-hwa touched her hair with trembling hands. wow Seeing them fall out one by one, it looks like there are only a few hours left. So you said you''ll regret it Well, it''s useless now. No... no no no no! Song Chun-hwa screamed and ran to somewhere. Perhaps he was going to a mirror, but not looking would be beneficial for his mental health. ...you''re mean. Teresa smiled complicatedly. I tried to touch other people''s rice cakes, so it''s my own profit. However, if this happens, shouldn''t Jinhyeok also have to give up the relics? no. That''s not it. ''Because I know how to touch a relic while avoiding the curse.'' ''Blessing of the Stars''. If you can learn the divine power, you can endure such a curse. Before answering Theresa''s question, may I ask you one thing? Sure. Do you admit that you lived thanks to me? " " Theresa looked into Jinhyuk''s eyes. If it wasn''t for Jinhyuk... . None of the raiders would have been able to get out alive. Yes. Thank you. I lived thanks to you. Teresa nodded her head. [The condition has been met.] [You succeeded in copying the unique ability ''Star Blessing (SS)''!] [The copied skill is saved in ''Memory of the World''.] [Blessing of the stars] Acquisition Difficulty: SS Description: You can wield divine power that only paladins can use, and you will be able to continue your second life unless you die instantly. (Cooldown 240 hours) with this... . You have accomplished everything from the ruins to the last goal. CH 31 How the deceased trains the Absolute Jinhyuk confirmed his newly acquired ability with a satisfied face. ''Blessing of the Stars''. Teresa''s unique ability to receive Constellation Blessing. Finally got this in my hands. ''I''ve gained a lot from coming to the ruins.'' ''Frozen Tears'' or ''Braham''s Ring'' It was worth using the same Artifacts. There was nothing to compare with the natural powers and Teresa''s unique abilities. ''To get two of the abilities of a top ranker... .'' I want to manage my facial expressions, but I can''t. Like someone who won the lottery, the corners of his mouth were naturally twitching. Whoa, calm down. Jinhyuk took a deep breath. How many unique abilities exist in the world? I just can''t stay here. In addition, ''Blessing of the Stars'' can be replaced with a higher ability through fusion. Heaven and Heaven. Until the rankers rise to such a high place that they can''t even look at them. You must not relax even for a moment. ''First of all, we should collect the skills that can produce the best synergy.'' All the recipes were already in my head. at that time. "Hey, Jinhyuk?" Teresa gently tapped her shoulder. right. There was this woman. I was so engrossed in my abilities that I forgot about it. Oh, I''m sorry. I was just checking something. It''s fine. Did you think of a better way? There''s no grand way, I''m just trying to grab it with my bare hands. Yes? Teresa had a look on her face, as if it was nonsense. No matter how versatile. Cursed relics cannot be touched without divine power. And among those who can handle the divine power . However, there was only one. Actually, I am a very religious person. I attend children''s Sunday school all the time, and I do not miss out on religious activities in the military. Well, you can use divine power with that? Why? Can''t you believe it? Of course I can''t believe it! Teresa raised her voice not like her. What did I say when I got here? "No conditions trust me." I remember correctly. Smart students also have excellent memory. Then believe me. " " As the words continued like a clearing stream, Teresa bit her lip. It was only a few minutes ago that I regretted not believing. Therefore, it was difficult to repeat the same mistake again. Ha, but. This is a different story. Yes. It wasn''t wrong this time. Hmm. This is how I do it. If, if I touch it, I''m okay or not. Shall I make a bet? A bet? Teresa muttered at the word bet. I''m not afraid to lose. The situation has already promised to exceed 10,000 coins. Because there was nothing more to hang on to. I won''t make unreasonable demands. If I lose, I''ll give you this relic. Instead, if Teresa loses, please make a guest appearance on my show later. "I think that would be enough." You promised? Jinhyuk, please keep your promise. don''t keep If I lose, that is. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo At that moment, Jinhyuk''s hand began to glow softly. mana that calms the mind. no doubt This is divine power. Oh . A sigh escaped from Teresa''s mouth. emptiness and disappointment. And beyond that, he felt a sense of despair as if everything he had believed in and protected had collapsed. I understand enough. But, at this point, I think it will be and accept it. like wet when it rains. Because it was such a natural result. Guest, please. Jinhyuk lightly tapped Teresa''s shoulder. This secured a strong support group. [Merlin''s staff fragment (for material)] Acquisition Difficulty: AAA offense power: ? Durability: 5/5 Description: A fragment of the staff used by the legendary British Archmage Merlin. Because it is cursed, only people who can use divine power can touch it.] AAA grade material that can only be obtained from labyrinths and ruins. Selling it on a coin exchange or the black market is also good. It would be useful to make a magic tool, but... . There is really no other way to use this. ''They don''t know anything about them, or they treat treasures carelessly.'' Fools who can''t use even one hundredth of the value of Artifact. ''Well, thanks to those guys, the dead people shine even more.'' Think about it. If everyone in the world had a pioneering vision and quick judgment... . What good is the information gap? In a way, you should be thankful instead of insulting them. ''By the way, in this raid, luck followed me in various ways.'' Had it not been for Theresa, I would have had to decipher Peter''s vows and obtain the staff in a more cumbersome way. Besides that, to deceive Ellis, we would have had to come up with a more detailed build-up. However, her presence made things easier. Jinhyeok packed the shards well. Now is the time to get out of this ruin. "This is a special, so grab it." Whether it''s a day, a month, a year, wait like a mangbu-seok! Hey...! Hey, you bastard. You got permission from above, so shut up and wait! Reporters from broadcasting stations, officials from various guilds, porters and miners. There were literally hundreds of people waiting for someone while looking at the entrance. - Soon, the raid on the ruins will be over. The words of a man who spit out life while holding an old sword. All this uproar was caused by this one word. Chief. What the man said. Is it true? Deputy Jae-Hyeon Jeong, from the Awakened Association, carefully opened his mouth. Then, manager Kim Tae-chun, who was next to him, smoked a cigarette. Well. It''s just too absurd to believe. Damn, I''d have asked a few questions if I had heard it in person, but the fact is that the porters I met with the man were completely scared and sent it away. The raid did not even properly equip the power to enter. No, even if you have the power, it''s a raid that should take at least 3 weeks. Are you going to finish it in this short time? If it had been that simple, the ruins wouldn''t have been so infamous in the first place. However. I couldn''t just pass it up as crazy bullshit. that came out of the ruins. Because it meant that he had defeated the guardian who was guarding the entrance by himself. It''s an unbelievable and unbelievable situation. My head hurts. Manager Kim scratched his head. But right then. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A bright light began to emanate from the entrance to the ruins. At the same time, a golden status window appeared in front of everyone. [The ruins ''Corridor of the Fallen'' have been attacked.] [Great achievements will be inducted into the ''Hall of Fame'' for one day tomorrow.] Boo, boss! Really...was it? Director Kim looked at the entrance blankly. There were people with scars coming out one by one. With the Balhae Guild, the mainstay of the raid. It was the Zion Guild''s raid. chwachwachwa chow chow chow! The camera shutter exploded like crazy. Come out! Oh oh oh oh! People raised their voices to capture the image of the heroes. Congratulations on reaching the ruins on the first floor! "May I ask about how you succeeded in attacking in a short period of time?" Tell me who is the MVP who played the best in this raid! Reporters held out their microphones. In order to win the interview, you must find the engineering commander who leads this raid. at that time. Ho, maybe. Player Song Cheon-hwa, the chief of engineering, right? One of the men asked the bald man who was bald. At first glance, I thought Upon closer inspection, it was obvious. This is Song Cheon-hwa, the commander of the raid. " " However, Song Chun-hwa, whose pupils had been released, did not respond. It''s just mechanically moving. At the look on his face as if he had lost his soul, the reporters uttered one word at a time. Oh my God. Not only the hair, but the eyebrows and eyelashes are all gone, right? "What the hell what happened inside?" Is it still a relic? It must have been incredibly desperate. "I think I even got a second awakening in return for my hair, but the Balhae Guild would be great. It was a huge hit." Although I lost something precious, if I completed my job change through the 2nd awakening, it would be a few dozen times more business. Of course, from the point of view of those who know the background, the reporters felt more cruel than the vampires. Eventually, Teresa, who had not seen it, intervened. "It was not Song Cheon-hwa who attacked the ruins." Well, then, Teresa player...? Did you succeed on the side of the Zion Guild? His eyes focused on Teresa. The surrounding was immersed in silence to the extent that the sound of dry saliva was heard. no. Theresa shook her head quietly. Then, he pointed to the person next to him with the palm of his hand. Jinhyuk wearing a mask with a bizarre pattern. "All the attack on the ruins was done by him alone. We we were just spectators watching the stage." The emergence of a super-sized newcomer. on that fact, [Tower of Trials] The whole country, including the community, heated up. [A masked player. who is he?] [Attack the ruins alone! An absurd monster appears!] [World-class guilds. Decision to dispatch an investigation team on the first flight tomorrow morning.] [Three hours later, the Grand Duke in the Hall of Fame.] It really got all the attention. In particular, as it coincided with the attack of the 3rd floor boss monster, which did not produce clear results, the government and the media pushed this case even more in the name of giving people hope. A new hero recognized by Europe''s top ranker Teresa. A player who saw the end of the impregnable ruins that no one had succeeded in Called. Hey, you''ve got all kinds of modifiers attached to it. Jinhyuk scratched his head. I expected the reaction to be hot, but this is more than I imagined. At least he wore a mask so he wouldn''t get caught up in troublesome things. If it was a move from God, would it be one move? ''I''ll get an S-class soon. That''s the way it should be.'' 100 players. Ranking 1st and 2nd place have been decided now. All that''s left is to design the board in a way that''s favorable to me, balancing the two. Since Teresa also promised to remain silent, I don''t think there is much to worry about. For now, this problem was enough. next. ''I''m going to have to talk to Jinjo, who is still in trouble.'' In the ruins, it was solved by shoving it in a pocket, but It will be difficult to continue to cast idle play in the future. ''Even if it is difficult to handle, there is no other card as useful as this guy.'' A arduous journey to the 50th floor of the tower. This is the first choice in deciding whether to take the road easy or difficult. Jinhyuk carefully took out the ring. Then, as if waiting, a sharp voice came out. [How dare you lock me in a dark, stinky bag all day! human. you know who i am... !] Look at this, Miss Jinjo, no, grandma of great-grandmother. I still don''t seem to understand the situation properly. Do you still think that you are a vampire with unconditional power? Jinhyuk grabbed the ring and started rotating his arms. Boo-woong! Boo Woong! A shoulder that rotates rapidly in a clockwise direction. [Aaaaah! stop. I''m dizzy, so please stop!] Elise screamed. Jinhyuk stopped the circular motion. How are you? [Do you think I''d be crazy like you? Remember it wisely! That vampires never forget their grudges!] It still seems far away great. Still, there is a skeleton called Jinjo. It''s no fun to give in so easily. Originally I was going to mix carrots and sticks properly... . My mind has changed. I will train you with a very thorough whip. Ibyeon Station is Guro Station and Vomit Station. Passengers are expected to experience severe dizziness, so please be careful. Jinhyuk volunteered for an announcement with a roaring voice. [that stop. Seriously, don''t do it because it looks like you''ll vomit!] There is no door to get off... Once again, the Hell-Joseon-style squirrel cage was opened. CH 32 Black Crow Guild (1) The long torture, which lasted about three hours, was over. at last. [ ] hiccup. ????. I''m really going to die... same... It''s just that.] Alice sobbed softly. The high bridge of the nose was only going to be broken. I mixed up the 720-degree rotation with acceleration to the reverse rotation... . Inside the ring, a hell comparable to the gravity training of astronauts would have unfolded. Hmm. ''Am I a little too serious?'' Myungsaek was the head of a family who led a family, but it seems like he has lost his soul too. However, the compassion did not last long. Whether it''s go or Nabal. Because now it was just a mosquito trapped in a ring. Stop crying and come out. Jinhyuk injected mana into Braham''s ring. OK. uuung! Elise, who had been trapped, came out. uh? Surprised, Alice let out a sigh. I have no choice but to give you freedom out of nowhere. Finally, finally... it''s time to get revenge! It''s time to pay for the humiliation of the past. I was thinking of giving back at least 1000 times what I had suffered. By the way. Huh? Is there something out of sight? No, it''s too low. You had to raise your head completely to see the other person. ''Why is this?'' Elise tilted her head and scanned her body. It was only then that I realized why the view had changed. The slender height was staggering, and the height had decreased to 30 cm. Even the powerful mana had long since disappeared. The red pupil shook violently. Hey, what is this? what is it Only part of the body was materialized while the seal was maintained. "Only some ?" Yeah. Only a few. To be precise, should I say it''s a mini version of Alice? The power he could exert was less than 1% of his body. Of course, even with such restrictions, he was stronger than an ordinary vampire. It wasn''t enough to defeat him. It means that it will be smashed if it is blackened. It can''t be... Alice slumped into her seat. It''s a face that looks like it''s about to cry. Considering his solemn first impression, he had changed so much that it was hard to imagine. The corner of Jinhyuk''s mouth went up. ''Slowly... It''s time for carrots.'' Since I used a lot of whip, even a dried carrot will feel sweeter than anything else. Jinhyuk took the seat next to Alice. Don''t cry, listen. And he began to spit his mouth out in earnest. ...? The words I said at the ruins, I didn''t just spit them out. At the ruins, Jinhyuk made a promise. I will give freedom to Elise and her kinsman. I wanted freedom, but I didn''t want this kind of freedom. I know. Who wants to see this free? Jinhyuk waved his hand as if frustrated. Not just physical freedom. The freedom you really want. I''ll get it back. "What does that mean?" Alice''s voice trembled subtly. As if I already guessed what you''re talking about, but I want you to confirm. And Jinhyuk. I thought it would live up to that expectation. Ellis von Ataraxia. If you help me... I will eliminate those who betrayed you and restore the lost head of the Ataraxia family. [New video has been updated in the Hall of Fame.] with message [Tower of Trials] A 10-minute video was uploaded to the top of the community. Considering the difficult ruins raid, the video is too short. Anyway, it was a highlight made by weaving only the battle scenes. However, viewers who saw this had no choice but to admit that time is not important at all. Reid thought to have failed. However, the situation was completely reversed with the appearance of a masked player who overturned all expectations. -Mochimochi: It''s the first time I''m sweating in my hands even though I''ve seen it after knowing the end of life. -Dongdang Latte: ?j. When I stood in front of a vampire by myself, I was scared. The nobles of the night who could handle both magic and physical power were trampled down like worms. Scenes that lacked a sense of reality unfolded one after another. -Cider that sucks: It''s going crazy. I thought I was watching John Wick whose dog died and his car was stolen. -Rabbit Gongdue: That was a death sentence. -Ivacson: Mr. Dott, don''t kill the retired killer''s puppy. -Korean Joker: But it''s not at the level of real movement or linkage. -BBQ vampire mild taste: ??. I''m trying to figure out which one is the opposite. If it''s magic, it''s magic, if it''s swordsmanship, it''s swordsmanship. pouring praise. There was really nothing to express other than admiration and admiration. To that extent, the player in the video overwhelmingly captured the vampires and pressed them down. That was then. -Decedent identification center: I thought I would be like this. This man was inducted into the Hall of Fame with mangroves and a top ten weapon! -Dongdang Latte: I asked why I couldn''t see it on the 3rd floor attack. Did you go to the ruins? -Digression: As a digression, it is said that he was the one who made Song Cheon-hwa''s hair. -Dongdang Latte: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm -Digression: In this world, you can''t just eat takoyaki. Haha. -BBQ vampire mild taste: And if the saints in Amsterdam admit it, everyone should put their heads down and admit it. - Cider Kim, the mother! Add a bowl of soup here! While the eyes of the world are being taken away by the video. The party, Jinhyuk, arrived in front of a high-rise building. It was the base of Seongbuk-gu, which was purchased by the Black Crow Guild. "They said that the guilds were sitting on the money cushions and that seems to be true." If it is a 35-story building with a view of the Han River, what is the replacement price? No matter how small, I think the price will fluctuate by 10 billion units? The forest of buildings seen through the mask was a completely different world from the one-room village where Jinhyuk lived. But why? I didn''t feel envious of the capital that seemed to be dying. The owner of this building was about to face the worst moment of his life. -Shin Gunsu! He did it! I pondered what Park Ha-jin had said at the ruins. Since the insider confessed, no other evidence was needed. ''me Are you trying to kill me?'' Everything else is tolerable. Large guilds monopolize each other or commit corruption. But, only one. Touching me is an exception. [The trait of the Relentless Heart dries up humanity.] Perhaps the reason why his personality has gotten colder is because of this trait given as a perk. Jinhyuk put mana on his leg. And then he kicked the glass door. KwaKwaKwa Kwa! With a roar, the tempered glass over 5cm was shattered. What? Why Yuri? Did the dump truck rush? The interior quickly became noisy. Jinhyuk slowly pulled out his dagger. I''ll say it first and last. Bring Shin Geon-soo right away and get down on your knees. Or I''m going to play the ropes here today. It was natural for the people inside to spit out swear words. What are you messing with now? This guy? "Did you know which guild this place belongs to and start a fight?" Of course, I came to know. Isn''t this a place that sells charcoal-grilled crow meat? Trying to hit someone in the back A company that doesn''t care if the third party dies or not if it''s for a purpose. Thanks to this, the angry customer went a long way. To see a representative face. It''s really crazy to be crazy. Hey. Call all the security guards. Let''s do something right today. Men in black suits spat spit into their palms. I broke in first... . Even breaking a few limbs is self-defense. Kang! Kaang! Men in black suits surrounded Jinhyuk while holding iron pipes. Most of them were ordinary people, but there were also players who could handle mana. Ha...! Look at this child? Did you follow the concept of the deceased in the video? The man with kkakdugi hair in the front pointed at Jinhyuk. A sigh of relief is a bonus. Marvel and stuff ruined all the kids. How many of them went to the emergency room after climbing the wall thinking they were Spider-Man? You don''t need it all, let''s get it right. You don''t have money to pay for the window anyway? It''s expensive, so it''s one for every 10,000 won. The conversation ended there. The iron pipe hit Jinhyuk''s side exactly. Kaga! is on target However, the sound he heard was not a dull sound hitting the bones. A popping sound that scrapes the eardrum from the cutting of the metal. At the same time, the iron pipe cut in half fell to the floor. Surely, you said it was one for every 10,000 won, right? This dagger, money can''t buy. Is it dirty with iron powder? write with special care I''ll give you one hit for every 100,000 won. Jinhyuk smiled and waved his fist. Koouk! As his fists pierced his face, the bridge of his nose completely collapsed, and red blood gushed out. puck! Whoops! The body of the man in the black suit jumped like a live fish in the subsequent attack. 300,000 won. 400,000 won. This must have hurt, so I''ll give you 1 million won. The sum is 170. The man''s body collapsed in four fists. It was a merciless beating with no mercy. How many punches did Kwanghyuk reach? If you''re smart, you''re not the type to be pushed anywhere... At that moment, the ease disappeared from the faces of the men in black suits. I felt that the situation was not serious. That''s why I told you. If you don''t want to play rope, bring Shin Gun-su. That''s difficult. The guild leader isn''t too lazy to deal with bastards like you one by one. This time, a man who appeared to be in his mid-30s stepped forward. It is natural to treat mana differently from other guys. Is this the guy who leads the security team? Jinhyuk looked up and down the man. "Hmm one or five or six will hold up." what? He''s a little stronger than the others, so I don''t think he''ll faint after one or two hits. It was a judgment made based on the condition of the muscles and mana. What a fucking bastard... The man''s face contorted badly. As the head of the security team of a mid-level guild, I did it when I ignored someone. I''ve never been ignored. A position that is welcomed wherever you go. Because of this, such humiliation was the first time in my life. I''ll kill you! Sreung! The Japanese sword worn around the waist was chosen. A sword that was well over 1.7 m spread the anticipation. hoo. Again, this is surprising. Was he the one who was dispatched from ''Samurai''? Jinhyuk groaned. The 7th largest guild in the world. One of them is the Japanese samurai. That sword was the weapon they used symbolically. Do you know? I''ve heard of it. Then, I can see how stupid your provocation was. "Well . Should a nerd who is dispatched to another country without being part of the raid group belong to that guild?" Aren''t they being sold as rentals because they don''t have the skills? If you''re upset, join the main raid. Woah ah ah ah! Eventually, the man exploded. The street that has been narrowed down at once with quick feet. The knife was thrust down towards Jinhyuk''s crown. Kaaaah! However, he could not cut through the black flesh. A knife that stands tall about 1cm from the forehead. He gave all he could, but he didn''t even budge. With a dagger like that toy... . No, more than that, you blocked it with one hand? what nonsense is this Contrary to how it looked, was it on the tank side? or maybe I was confused as if my head was about to explode due to various assumptions. right then Bite your molars tightly. Your tongue hurts. Jinhyuk''s voice was low. CH 33 Black Crow Guild (2) Penthouse on the top floor of the building. Shin Gun-soo, who was in his personal office, burned his lips at the news he heard one after another. Tongue, HyungNim! The bodyguard has been wiped out. Communication with the outside is also not possible... I think I was playing a joke. All elevators are down. He''s coming up the stairs. It''s fast. It''s already over the 20th floor! There is no such thing as good news. All of them are just annoying losers that foreshadow the worst. kwaang! Gunsoo Shin hit the desk. Damn! What kind of dog is this! I''m an intruder out of nowhere. Although there were many enemies in terms of the trait of the guild, it was the first time they attacked without thinking back and forth like this. And that alone... . Never, I''m not some kind of random contractor. At first, I thought he was a psychopath with the liver sticking out of his stomach. However, seeing the security collapsing one after another, Shin Gun-soo had no choice but to admit it. That one enemy is scarier than hundreds of enemies. That was then. Ouch! Aww! A scream was heard outside the door. Kang! Kaaan! It was followed by the sound of knives crashing, but it was only for a moment. There was no sense of popularity anymore. pounding! pounding! pounding! Shin Gun-soon''s heart was beating fast. In the midst of fear and curiosity coexist, at last. cut profit. The door opened. Are you the guild master here? The person who appeared was a man with a bizarre face. [barrier duration: 0h : 15m : 33s] There is about 15 minutes left to cut off communication with the outside world. This is enough. ''Not enough to deal with a single crow that has lost its cowardly head.'' Jinhyuk took a step forward. Stop. If you don''t stop, I''ll cut you off! Sreung! Shin Gun-soo drew his sword. Perhaps it was a weapon with multiple magic, colorful sparks arose on the blade. At first glance, it is an expensive sword. After all, the guild master is the master. But why? Despite the harsh warning, Jinhyuk could not hide his smile. ''It''s too clumsy... .'' Maybe it was because he had a fight with the heavenly castle a while ago, and his whole body is in a state of extreme bruising. Because of this, Shin Gun-soo was expected only by the movements of his hands and feet. How will you attack? where to aim entire. As Jin-hyeok continued to approach, Shin Geon-soo, who could not bear it, shouted. Didn''t you hear me tell you to stop? [New Gunsoo activates Lv3 ''Quick Sword''!] Shin Gun-soo''s sword disappeared. Boo woo woo! The tip of the sword exploded towards Jinhyuk, leaving an afterimage. ''no way Do you think this was also painted?'' If so, my heart aches, but this. Jinhyuk''s hand moved in line with the trajectory of the sword. At this speed, there is no need to avoid it. snap. The dancing blade stopped abruptly. Ugh!? The sound of wind leaking out of Shin Gun-soo''s mouth. I grabbed the blade that was accelerated due to skill with my bare hands... Of course, you have to react like this. creepy Goosebumps arose along the spine. From the gangsters of the past to the place they are today. Countless experiences have told me. Even if I die and wake up, I can''t win. It didn''t take long for it to be decided that there was no hope. You what are you? Who ordered you to come here? Shin Geon-soo hesitated and stepped back. However, if you run away, you are only in a room of less than 50 pyeong. tuk. The windshield hit the back. My whole body trembled. that would be scary Because even the subordinates who were strong were no longer a shield. Guess it. what? "Guess who I am and for what purpose I have come." do you know Will you save me if I answer correctly? Whoops! Jinhyuk put his dagger in the middle of the desk. And burying himself in a soft chair, he started his own golden bell. "Did Dangun or were you sent from Balhae? To contain our growth?" Ding. That''s wrong. Usually, I''ll laugh and tell you to try it again. Golden Bell, hosted by Jinhyuk, has slightly different rules. If you''re wrong, of course there''s a penalty for that. Oh, there''s something good about it. Jinhyuk picked up a go ball on one side of the desk. ''The seeds are very thick.'' As a rich guy, I got the right thing. Ba, why the go balls...? Shin Gun-soo muttered as if anxious. Why? damn it! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! It''s because of this. Gunsu Shin rolled over on the floor, covering his face with both hands. A lump protruding from his forehead like a goblin. It must be quite painful for a go ball loaded with mana to hit the skull. Again, guess. This time I thought well. Jinhyuk fiddled with the second go ball. "Ugh Black Market. Yes, there! Weren''t we being commissioned to beat us for a huge pay?" Ding. Wrong this time too. Wait, wait! Wait. Whoever sent it, I''ll give you twice the amount they offered. Huh? What do you need? Just tell me. I can match everything! Shin Geon-soo''s complexion turned white at the thought of having to play Go again. Gunsu Shin presented a new deal with a desperate voice. Hey. ...? I told you to guess who I was, did I ask you for money? Did you learn Korean in a foreign country? Why can''t you understand me like this? I don''t know where I came from in elementary school, but it''s only then that King Sejong rises from his grave and curses in Japanese. Whoa! Again, the go ball tapped his forehead. Since he had loaded more mana than before, Gunsu Shin had to twist his whole body like crazy. Wow, wow! The forehead... The forehead! This is your last chance. If you get it wrong this time, you''re going to shoot all the Go balls here. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh... Shin Gun-soo took a deep breath. Then I looked at Jinhyuk''s mask to see if he remembered something. "Kang Jinhyuk." One word with three syllables. Now we have the correct answer. That''s right. I''m the person you sent Ha-jin Park to kill. Jinhyuk took off his mask. The bare face was exposed. Damn it. So you came all the way here to get revenge? It''s just that the whole building has been demolished. Only? Only? Jinhyuk''s forehead was wrinkled. Yeah. You must have killed Park Ha-jin and other guys on our side too. Then that''s it. There''s no need to do it like this... Aha, so. You had to quit on the right line? Don''t think too hard and look at it calmly. I''m not here right now because I''m attacking the tower, but only the rankers belonging to the guild are over 50. therefore? Even if you kill me, those who are after you will continue to come out. The chain of revenge will not be broken. Blood brings blood, revenge brings revenge. Unless either side forgives, the slaughter will go on forever. Hmm . That''s definitely a point. Blood and revenge are keywords that interfere with a good night''s sleep. Jinhyuk smiled as if he had made up his mind. Okay. Let''s kill only you and end there. Clean. What? "I will take my last revenge, so please forgive me on your side." What kind of nonsensical sophistry... Uh-huh! Jinhyuk took a handful of Go balls in his hand and shoved them into Shin Geonsu''s mouth. Guk! Goo! Shingansu coughed at the foreign object that had filled his mouth. Blood bubbles flowed out, but Jinhyuk gave more strength to his hands. not to spit out a single one. You cut it. Whether it''s the ring of revenge or Nabal. There''s no law that says you have to cut it from my side, right? what? Does revenge bring revenge? Why did he send the assassins to worry about that? That''s the end of listening to dogs. If the Black Crow Guild''s beggars attack behind you, that''s all you need to deal with. It''s because they weren''t afraid even if they came in one truck. Stop it now. Jinhyeok said goodbye for the last time. And he swung his fist with all his might. kwaaang! Kueek! His fists pierced deep into Shin Gun-soo''s face. An eerie sound of mixing teeth and Go balls resounded. ''Instant death.'' Jinhyuk looked down at Shin Gunsu, who had fallen for a moment. The face is completely submerged, so there is no need to check it. Now next... . Hey, there''s that guy pretending to be dead. Wake up. " " I''ll count to three. One. Yep! I was awake. Among the black suits lying in the hallway, a man quickly answered. He was a young man who appeared to be in his mid-20s. Seeing that mana doesn''t feel like much, it doesn''t seem like a player. Do you want to be Shin Gun-soo''s secretary? Start self-introduction. If you show that you are useful, I will spare you. My name is Hee-Woong Kim, age 26. I am in charge of overseeing the overall affairs of the Black Crow Guild! I speak 5 languages and majored in Computer Science and Accounting at Stanford! Anything, just leave it to me! Oh, good, good. Very straight. Jinhyuk nodded his head as if satisfied. Age, experience, and specs. I think this should be enough to use. "As you can see, the situation here is not very good. The guild leader is also dead, and the wounded are overflowing." Yeah... yeah. That''s right. So I''m going to entrust this guild to you. Yeah... Yeah. Right... Yeah? Kim Hee-woong''s pupils dilated as if they were about to explode. I don''t have to think about anything grandiose. To be honest, it''s a waste to blow up the entire middle-class guild. I''m just going to keep it in moderation. It was a plan I had in mind when I first came here. Let''s have a barge boss and drink the guild''s sweet water from behind. And Kim Hee-woong can do that role properly. As a secretary, you should know everything inside. "Ha, but even if I were to become a guild master, no one would follow me." That''s right. If a non-combatant, even a former secretary, suddenly sits at the top, there is bound to be a backlash. You don''t have to worry about those who oppose you. Ah! Are you saying you''ll take care of it yourself? Kim Hee-woong''s face brightened a little. Considering the power he had just shown, it was quite possible. If Shin Gun-soo had been suppressed so easily, the results would not be different even if the ranks of the guild came. But Jinhyuk shook his head. no. Why are you taking on such a tedious task? Is there a reliable helper right next to you to take care of it for you? Did you hear everything? Jinhyuk glanced at the ring on his hand. OK. [Maybe, did you tell me?] Elise, who had been silent, stopped talking. Are there any more of you here? [Do you want me to play the role of a nanny who takes care of insignificant humans in this body, the head of the Ataraxia family and flowing with the noblest blood?] under . This is again using a serious tone. Aren''t you out of your mind yet? Would you like to spin the windmill again? Huh? Why are you holding on to something that doesn''t work? [do not do it! Stop! I mean, that''s dizzy! You bastard like an anemones!] Surprised by the word turning the windmill, Elise raised her voice. It''s an anemone... . swearing is once cheaper Did you just call it an insult? [what? this Isn''t this a serious insult?] That sounds like a serious insult. Babies in the newborn room will say it more deliciously than that. At least. You lowly and xxxx human. If you dare lock this noble body in a ring and treat it like a squirrel cage, I''ll give you a xx and then xxxx, then I''ll give you xxxxxxx. Hang it on xxxx and make it xxxx for 30,000 years! At this level, it can be said that the harmony between intimidation and profanity has been perfectly achieved. [Uh, how could you say such harsh words .] Alice stuttered heavily, as if shocked. It must have been too much of a shock for a noble nobleman. In fact, I would have always lived by listening to the words of on and off, but since I experienced the modern Korean language without filtering, my mentality was bound to collapse. Anyway, now I''m a bit docile. With this guy, deal with all those who don''t listen. [okay. But what are you going to do?] "I have work to do." As long as you''ve finished capturing the ruins, you don''t need to be tied to level 1 anymore. The corners of Jinhyuk''s mouth moved upward slowly. Now is the time to really grow. CH 34 How to grow a dead person (1) [Level A and above players, please quit your job and gather in the top-floor penthouse right now.] huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The cell phone vibrated. A brief convening order was issued, omitting the postwar circumstances. Damn, you''re busy, so why an emergency call? Don''t talk. I was in the middle of a raid. Kaak Heon! No matter how hard it is, it''s supposed to be hard, but it''s getting worse these days, isn''t it? The players belonging to the Black Crow Guild gathered around the building while grunting. quiet inside. Small glass fragments remaining on the floor. It was different from usual. Everyone tilted their heads. Why are you here today? "This is our building right?" A deep sense of discomfort arose. I instinctively felt that something was wrong. Rumble! And the moment you open the door and step inside. An ominous feeling turned into certainty. Hey, how did this happen? Geonsu-hyung! Healer... Heal right away! Right now! The person lying on the floor covered in blood was none other than the guild master, Shin Geon-su. It''s already too late. It''s been at least a few hours since I stopped breathing... Healer, who was examining Shin Geon-soo''s condition, shook his head. He didn''t know how to heal wounds, but reviving the dead wasn''t something a healer could do. The guild leader is dead. if so. Who gave the emergency call-up order? Everyone''s eyes turned to another person in the room. It was Kim Hee-woong, Shin Gun-soo''s secretary. His anger soared as he fixed his glasses with an anxious face. Kim Hee-woong! One player takes out a weapon. uuung ! A window over 2m was revealed in the subspace inventory. A sharp weapon was extended toward Kim Hee-woong''s neck. Don''t miss a thing, tell me what happened! Right now! "Haha well, how did that happen?" Kim Hee-woong glanced to the side as if in trouble. Exactly, facing under the table. Who else is there? When everyone thought so. jerk. A white-haired girl who looked very young appeared from under the table. Long silver hair and red eyes are impressive. She was a girl with a strange atmosphere. ha. The girl scratched her head in annoyance. It was exuding terrible death from all kinds of weapons, but as if he didn''t care about anything like that. Were you surprised by that carefree look? It''s ridiculous. Did you believe in a little boy like this? The spearman clicked his tongue. right at that moment. fast and A tendon grew on Alice''s forehead. Kid kid? Little kid? kukuku kuk kuk! It was then that the red mana began to overflow. [[Lv??] ''Blood Territory'' is activated!] The living thing that had been taut in the room disappeared in an instant. A cold feeling as if all the blood vessels in the body would freeze. Among them, there were players who had participated in the 1st floor boss raid before, but . It wasn''t even compared. it''s totally different Oh my gosh... Mu, what mana? "Hey, it''s a monster." Rumble! The players were frozen in place and their whole body trembled. No one dared to even think of running away. "Wow, you have to be patient. Did the CEO tell you not to kill him if possible?" Kim Hee-woong was also embarrassed. You will need core resources for the operation of the guild. Jinhyeok ordered the rankers to be preserved as much as possible. However. What do you know? Didn''t you hear what they said to me now? Elise''s reason had long since been cut off. As if complaining about the accumulated stress. A huge mana exploded. Aww! All the windows in the building were smashed. Awakened Association in Seocho-dong. To prove that he passed the second test, Jinhyuk came to this place first. 1:00 pm. It was exactly the promised time. Jinhyuk looked around after checking his smartphone. ''The time has come to come... .'' That''s when I thought so. brother! Brother! Here it is. Here! Two people approached by the entrance waving their hands. It was Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa. Considering the time period, it didn''t take long before we met again. But why? Jinhyuk was really happy with the two of them. You came just in time. How have you been? We had a good time. We succeeded in capturing one of the B-class labyrinths on the second floor! Taemin shrugged his shoulders. The level has risen quite a bit. I really didn''t sleep and hunted hard. Yoo Yeon-hwa also made an expression that seemed to ask for praise. exactly. The mana felt from the two of them was different. Not only did the overall amount increase, but the concentration of mana also increased. It looks like you sent it in a spectacular way. Ah. Not like my brother. Huh? Don''t pretend you don''t know. The video uploaded to the ''Hall of Fame'' yesterday. That''s your brother, isn''t it? Yoo Yeon-hwa poked Jin-hyuk''s side with his elbow. Taemin Lee also added a word. Hyung. But, why are you wearing a mask? It''s not like I''ve been getting 2 bottles of middle school... isn''t it? It was because of personal circumstances. More than that are you that offended? Can you guess with just one mask? No, rather than that, isn''t it too much to be tied to the middle school disease? There was no denying that it was once my taste. somehow sad Because the only person left behind to attack the ruins is my brother. I noticed it right away. Actually, the moment I saw the news, I thought it was your brother. Ah...! Was it like that? Jinhyuk''s expression, which had been gloomy, was wide open. thank God. In many ways... . By the way bro, really [Tower of Trials] "Isn''t it true that you ended at the same time as us?" I''m not at the level of memorizing patterns after watching the video [Tower of Trials] "It was like hitting the producer in the face " The two looked at Jinhyuk with eyes mixed with suspicion and awe. It''s an annoying look. But, that''s the only thing that can''t be done. now [Tower of Trials] The community was on the verge of exploding because of the video uploaded yesterday. The attack on the 3rd floor boss failed and the ruins considered impenetrable. As the two major events interlocked, a lot of people''s attention was focused on the masked player. who is his true identity. In the past, how many floors have you climbed to the top of the tower? Which guild do you belong to? Favorite food and hobbies, of course, even the color of the panties I''m wearing today was the subject of interest. ''The reaction is intense.'' Jinhyuk smirked. It was roughly what I expected, but it exceeded my expectations. ''great.'' If these conditions are met, it will be easier to act in the future. with myself in a mask. himself without a mask. Living two lives like this. ''Both of them are top-notch.'' 1st and 2nd place in the world rankings. At first glance, they may appear to be different people, but in reality they are the same person. ''Use those two conditions to take advantage of all the gains.'' pounding! pounding! pounding! As he thought about the countless plans he had in mind, Jinhyuk felt his heart start beating faster little by little. at that time. Brother? Answer me. Seriously, how many floors have you been up to? Hey. You shouldn''t ask questions like that. Be honest. Oppa, are you one of the game executives? Sister, isn''t that a bit too far? No. Otherwise, how would you explain it moving to such a stagnant, rotten level? ...from what I''ve heard, it seems to make sense. I don''t know how the story got here. It would be fun to watch the two of them spread their imaginations, but... . sorry. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. At the same time, I showed the screen of the smartphone to two people. [Please come to report the results of the second test by 1:15 PM.] Perhaps it was the day without the awakening test, so the inside of the association was quite quiet. Jinhyuk arrived at the information desk and took out his ID. I came to receive a confirmation that the second test passed. Yeah, wait a minute. A female employee was handed over Jinhyuk''s ID. By the way. "Uh ? Kang Jin Hyuk?" A surprised expression like a rabbit. The female employee looked at the ID card and Jinhyuk alternately, and then jumped up from her seat. Would you please wait a minute? Yes? Wait a minute. Don''t go anywhere, you have to wait. A female employee who has nothing to say and runs to somewhere in a hurry. It happened so quickly that Jinhyuk couldn''t even respond. and after a while. It was a middle-aged man with a sharp impression who came with a female employee. ''This is quite surprising.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. How could you not know? Chairman of the Awakened Association, Sangjin Han. A person who oversees the players in Korea. [Lv2 ''Eyes of Truth'' is activated.] The eyes of truth pierced the opponent''s status window. T-tiring! Name: Han Sang-jin Gender: Male Age: 45 Level: 15 Strength 19 Dexterity 17 Stamina 15 mana 15 Stat Points you have: 0 Coins held: 0 Occupation: Administrator Unique Ability: Batch Command skill: Lv4 ''bureaucracy ()'', Lv4 ''solid unity'', Lv3 ''arbitration'', Lv3 ''ideology verification'' [Copy conditions: The copy conditions were not updated due to an error.] It was when Jinhyuk had just read the status window and copy conditions. I was waiting for you to come. Jinhyuk Kang player. Han Sang-jin, who came right in front of me, asked for a handshake. shit. For some reason, I think it''s going to hurt my head... . no doubt Han Sang-jin''s eyes. It''s like a beast looking for prey. ''But if you stand still, you''ll become a fool with a path left in the Eastern Court of Courtesy.'' Whoa. can''t do it But Jinhyuk, who was about to reach out his hand, stopped. I pondered what Han Sang-jin just said. Something is strange. In conversation I felt a deep sense of disparity. for a moment, wait for a sec. ''You were waiting for me to come?'' Only one examiner knows the true measure of the first test. To the rest, you are just one of the F ranks lying on the street. ''For the lowest-ranking players... Does the president of the association act directly?'' Doesn''t that make sense? That doesn''t mean the examiner could have opened his mouth. As long as the ''Stigma of the Soul'' is engraved, the truth will be turned to ashes as soon as you tell the truth. It''s fun. You''re saying they''re prepared enough to deceive the ''eyes'' this time, right? Jinhyuk smirked. Hey. "Yes? Suddenly Why are you doing this?" Han Sang-jin''s face was stained with embarrassment. I have no choice but to talk nonsense out of nowhere. However, Jinhyuk''s expression was still cold. Stop acting clumsy and release the barrier. Right now. What kind of barrier is that... "Player Jinhyuk Kang. What are you doing to the president of the association?" If I tell you this, will you pretend you don''t know? The corners of Jinhyuk''s mouth went up even more. If you''re going to go down the dirt road rather than the easy way. Jinhyeok pulled out his dagger in an instant and shrugged his shoulders. And threw it towards the ceiling. Wedge lover! The dagger that flew through the wind was lodged in the ceiling. To be precise, it was embedded in the ''visible'' with the ceiling. That moment. Pants! The space was distorted, and a gentle wave appeared on the transparent membrane. CH 35 How to grow a dead person (2) jittery. The two of them took a few steps back as they lived like needles. "This is really it was a stage that I put a lot of effort into in my own way, but I''m completely out of it." The man who looked like Han Sang-jin smiled bitterly. Disappointment was oozing out of his tone of voice. Yeah. Where did you notice it? It was the same for the female employee who was annoyed. ''Dimensional Distortion'' throughout the Awakened Association building Unfold the barrier and duplicate the person'' He even reproduced his appearance using magic. In addition, he even identified each individual''s stats and unique abilities, and even reconstructed the entire system. Even if you have ''perspective'', ''mind reading'', or even ''eyes'', there is no problem. But somehow, the plan that I thought was perfect came to light. so foolishly Maybe it was because Jinhyuk couldn''t figure out how to shut the mouth of the person in charge through ''Stigma of Souls''. Even if he hid his identity, he must have concluded that he would have proceeded to at least sign a secret contract with the president of the association. Without such a back contract, there was no reason to deliberately give up an advantageous position and insist on a low rank. In addition, the fact that Jinhyuk''s ''eyes'' were supposed to be outside the standard also played a part. The barrier they made failed to reproduce even the system configuration of the radiation condition, so Jinhyuk could feel a strange sense of incongruity from the start. [[3-star ''dimensional distortion''] The barrier is weakened.] [Remaining time: 0h : 2m : 59s] The barrier damaged by the dagger began to shake. This is due to the destruction of the central part. ''Three-star dimensional distortion barrier... .'' To make something that the boss monsters in the lower dungeons can use. It''s definitely regrettable. The coins and mana that were spent on setting this stage would far exceed the monthly budget of a small and medium-sized guild. Jinhyuk tilted his head towards the two of them. It seems that the pranks that are full of money have come to an end, so tell me now. Why did you approach me? Hmm. Isn''t it the order to ask about our identity before the purpose of the approach? Why are you asking that? Do you already know who it is? Jinhyuk nodded harshly. Then their eyebrows twitched. Hey. You know who we are? It''s bluff. I''m guessing. Hugh. It was not difficult to predict the identity of the opponent with the information already given. They are wealthy, highly informed, and do whatever it takes. There is only one organization that is eager to recruit talent that is still below the surface. These are your demons. Judging from the mana level, you just finished the job quest. ...! ...! pupils where earthquakes occur. The man and woman failed to manage their facial expressions for a moment. Ha... It''s not really an ordinary bet. Is this a bit of a shock? I can understand why the executives were paying attention. When I asked why they were pouring out their resources like this to only recruit one person, that''s why. So far, I have contacted various prospects. past [There was also a ranker who made a name for himself in the Tower of Trials.] There were also rookies who stood out only when it became a reality. However, none of them knew the identity of this person at the first meeting. I don''t have time to admire or listen to you guys, so tell me quickly. There is only one reason why I am hanging out with this meaningless conversation. It''s because I''m curious about what interesting proposals the veiled guys will make. Jinhyuk glanced at the ceiling. The remaining time is about 2 minutes. The moment the dagger falls after breaking the barrier will be the point where this conversation ends. Don''t try to live like that. It seems that there are some bad preconceived notions about demons, but there are a lot of rumors mixed in that. Hmm. The people who first created ''Coin Farm'' are going to come and wash the image now? Let''s call it pragmatism. Of course, if you''re the kind of person who believes in the bullshit that people''s lives can''t be exchanged for anything... further conversations would be pointless. Fun. Go ahead. First of all, if you join us, I''ll give you this instead of a down payment. The man took a scarlet-colored jewel from his bosom. May it be... ? Jinhyuk''s eyebrows narrowed. It''s a known item. ''Twilight Dew''. It is a treasure possessed by ''Quasar'', a half-human, half-joe and one of the beasts. Healing, regenerating, strengthening, detoxifying and more. Under the 10th floor of the tower, it was rated as almost universal. It could even be used to defrost ''frozen tears''. By the way. ...are you going to just give me this? Even if you put it up on the auction house right now, would you be contacted to exchange it for a relic within an hour? It''s a pity for me personally, but it''s because the people above are careful to use it. Perhaps, if you officially join the company, you will be given benefits that are incomparable to this. The man shrugged. And immediately threw the twilight dew at Jinhyuk. Tuk! A heavy feel in the palm of your hand. Jinhyuk firmly grabbed a jewel the size of a child''s fist. hey It''s definitely a big barrel. The conditions are hot like this, so I''m looking forward to the second one. Then, what''s the next condition? Secondly, I''ll take care of one person you want. Whoever it is? Yes. If the subject is a human... anyone. Talking with confidence Well, they weren''t reflected in the official rankings because they were mines, but the skills of these guys were not pushed back even compared to the top rankers. ''If you said you would get rid of it, I would really take care of it.'' In effect, it was like a blank check of success. right then what? wait for a sec . A streak of lightning flashed across Jinhyuk''s head. What if you guys fail to kill the target? what? "There is such a thing as if." It''s not going to happen. That''s right. The Assassination Team is made up of players who are much stronger than us. The two nailed it as if for sure. Obviously, you said it with your mouth. to be unconditionally successful. "Then, in case of failure, can we do without this contract?" Oh, that''s...! Why? Have you lost your confidence now? The second condition itself is to show the absolute power that the Mine Association has. If it fails, isn''t that in itself a contradiction? Jinhyeok provoked by shrugging. It''s a bonus to laugh out loud. The man bit his lip. ...Okay. However, if the quest is successful, you must go with us to meet the executives immediately. Let''s do that. Jinhyuk nodded and took out his smartphone. I clicked on the address book where photos and names were stored, and showed it to two people. This guy is the target. He''s the one I haven''t seen. It''s my first time seeing it too. Are you really that picky? It''s just... he''s not very active outside, so it must be unfamiliar. Probably few people know. At the most, me and Yoo Yeon-hwa, Lee Tae-min Other than that, can you count on your hand? Confirmed. Next time we will meet as colleagues. Until then, goodbye, handsome oppa. timely. Tuk! The dagger embedded in the barrier fell. Time has passed. Jinhyuk, who retrieved the dagger, looked around. ''It''s already gone.'' The two were no longer seen. The original Awakened Association, which had been cut off with a murmur, was revealed. Now you can get your second test certificate. Oh! Previously. I have one thing to do. Jinhyuk quickly opened the status window. [The Whisper function has been activated.] - Hey, do you have a minute? I spoke and waited for a while. OK. -What? A hard, irritating voice came back. The target of the whisper was none other than Cheon Yuseong. After all, he seems like a cold guy. - Did you say you wanted to be strong? - What kind of bullshit is that all of a sudden? - No, answer me. Did you or didn''t you? - I''ve said that before. - Well then, I''ll tell you the secret. You have to build up as much real-world experience as possible with strong guys. -what? - Fight and fight and fight again. You have to cross a deadly dangerous line to become strong. This is a secret training method that only I know, but I am telling you because I think of you. - Is this crazy? what did you eat wrong? - I love you, future swordsman. My brother believes in you. Even if you are seriously injured, you must not come to take revenge on me. -Hey ! Jinhyuk blocked the one-sided whisper. Whoa. I''ve given you my own warning, so I''ll take care of it later. by the way. ''If the sword and demons fight, what will the outcome be?'' To be honest, it''s a popcorn angle, but... . It''s a pity I can''t watch it. Did an hour pass? Jinhyuk, who took the 2nd certificate of completion, came out of the association. However, there was another person beside Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa. I asked you to take care of the Black Crow Guild... . It was Kim Hee-woong and Elise. Oppa. These people know you... Hyung. Isn''t that person the chief of staff of the Black Crow Guild? Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa asked with anxious faces. For the two of them, the Black Crow Guild had only bad memories. I understand. I can''t help but react like this because I don''t know the circumstances before and after. It''s okay. It''s people I know. Now that this has happened, we should use this opportunity as an opportunity to get to know each other. There is something to be said about future plans. Jinhyuk briefly introduced each other. Of course, some of the information was adapted. For example, Elise hid her identity as a player from Northern Europe. ''If you reveal that you are Jinjo, there will be an uproar.'' Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa, who were skeptical at first, nodded their heads as if they were accommodating as time passed. The guild side will be handled by Kim Hee-woong, a friend. Yeon-hwa and Tae-min also contact each other often when they have time. They can take care of everything from dungeon recruitment to convenience. Yes. Just leave it to me. If it''s CEO Kang''s acquaintances, I''ll take responsibility and help. Kim Hee-woong clenched his fist. He said that he was not treated properly and abused under Shin Kun-soo. Now that he was freed from that bondage, his expression looked bright. Wow... Then, is your brother the Black Crow Guild Master? Nominally this is my friend, I''m the one who actually runs it. "Hyung, in just a few days, we attacked the ruins and ate the guild. Are you a human? No, how ." Taemin was at a loss for words, so he blurted out the end of his speech. He already knew that Jinhyuk was dead. But isn''t this constantly breaking the limits we imagined? crazy I don''t have much to say other than that it''s really crazy. At the same time, my heart began to race wildly at the fact that I was acquainted with that monstrous figure. pounding! pounding! pounding! ''Meeting my brother is the luck of a lifetime.'' Although large guilds and rankers in the world are arguing that they are good. Compared to Jinhyuk, it was ridiculous. It''s like you''re joking about learning calculus in front of Stephen Hawking? ''No matter what happens, believe and follow to the end.'' Taemin Lee has already made up his mind to do so. While Kim Hee-woong has a conversation with the two of them. Jinhyuk''s eyes turned to Elise. "And you haha." Seeing him inflating his cheeks, he sighed involuntarily. Okay. Let''s not talk. Why! What! I didn''t mean to do that either. But you''re scratching your temper over there! Is it normal to blow up a building with something called a kid? When I heard about Kim Hee-woong, I doubted my ears. Just for that reason... . shit. If all Koreans had a personality like you, it would be a miracle on the Han River and Nabal, and the Korean Peninsula would return to the Stone Age within a year. More than anything else, you''ve lived for thousands of years, can''t you get past such a provocation? "That''s it that''s because there hasn''t been anyone who has provoked me until now." ...it''s amazing. Really. The queen, who is selfish, or the blood relatives below, who are gullible. Vampires aren''t the only ones with high self-esteem and suffer from prince and princess disease. Jinhyuk licked his tongue and prepared to move. I have to go hunting right now, so I''m going to get into the ring. Huh? Hunting alone isn''t enough, isn''t it? Because it''s a sheep-hunting, I need supporters. Oh, and don''t worry. If you help me this time, I''ll give you a good rest for a while. This time, she needed Elise for efficiency, but after that, she alone was enough. If that''s the case. But, is there any place left for sheep hunting? You said that up to the 3rd floor, all the guilds are monopolizing it. The Tower of Trials is up to the 50th floor, So, unless the 4th floor is open, there will be no hunting grounds that others don''t know about. Everyone knows that. However. In fact, the Tower of Trials does not have only 50 floors. The corner of Jinhyuk''s mouth went up. From now on, I''ll show you why the deceased is the deceased. CH 36 How to grow a dead person (3) The ''Lake of the Moon'' on the first floor of the Tower of Trials. It is a place boasting such a beautiful view that it is said that the moon in the night sky looks as if it is below the surface of the water. However, no one came to this place regardless of its name. It''s a natural thing. It was not the time to enjoy leisurely leisure in a situation where the survival of mankind is at stake. It is more beautiful than any other place, but more lonely than any other place. It was the moon lake. But right then. Someone approached the lake shore. It was Jinhyuk. It''s been a while since I''ve been here... When my level was low, I used to come here often. After crossing the middle of the tower, I hardly found it. When I saw it again, I was very impressed. [You seem to have a good taste, but by what means are you hunting here?] Alice''s voice came out of the ring. Look. Jin-hyeok, who smiled bitterly, started walking along the edge of the lake. It wasn''t my intention to go for a walk in the middle of the night. Because there was something to find. footsteps accelerated The pupils also moved rapidly. Obviously, around here . ''also !'' Jinhyeok, who found a fragment resembling a carp, stood tall. Although it is only one of the 12 Fragment statues on the shore of the lake, in fact, this Fragment statue had another purpose other than simply adorning the lake. Jinhyuk reached out and touched Fragment''s arms. is touched Concave grooves on the edge! [Oh. Is there something like a secret button on that Fragment?] If it was that easy, everyone would have noticed right away. Isn''t it too funny to look at the dead people of the world? You just couldn''t find a single button on the Fragment? In fact, the number of players who found this groove easily exceeded three digits. It was even mentioned in the community from time to time. However, despite rumors of their own, none of them succeeded in finding the key that fits the groove in the end. there''s no choice but to ''This is not a key to open.'' moon lake. According to its name, the key to unlocking the secret on this Fragment is a bit special. Jinhyuk covered the keyhole with his palm. moonlight is blocked Whoops. As I removed my palms, the moonlight illuminated the grooves again. ''great.'' Jinhyuk used his palm to control the amount and angle of light coming in in the same way. calmly... . If either one of them is out of sync, you can''t satisfy this picky guy. Once, twice and once again. The moonlight struck the groove in a peculiar rhythm. right at that moment. kukukuku! The whole lake began to vibrate violently. Just like Moses dividing the Red Sea, it was truly spectacular to see the water that filled the lake divided into left and right. The terrain has completely changed. ''Where should I go?'' Jinhyuk went down the long stairs leading to the bottom of the lake to the basement. jerk. A secret layer that has never been allowed to enter by humans. Therefore, it is a place with indescribable mystery. Finally. [You have entered the first basement floor of the Tower of Trials.] ''Underground spawning ground'' is one of the hidden places in the Tower of Trials. Finally, we have reached a customized hunting ground where we can grow like crazy. You can come out. Jinhyuk reached the bottom and injected mana into Braham''s ring. OK. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A vampire with long silver hair appeared. It''s a version reduced to 30 cm to be exact. Alice looked around in disbelief. Oh my God. How could there be such a space under the tower? It seems to be quite a surprise. It was ridiculous to see the red pupil dilate and contract repeatedly. how? Huh? More and more, don''t you think it was a good thing you signed a contract with me? Well. I don''t think what he said at the time was completely nonsense. A little... a little, really, I think it was a little bit believable. Alice answered, avoiding Jinhyuk''s gaze. with pride. Jinhyuk, who had been kicking his tongue inwardly, stopped. After that, I had a question. ''What do the guys in the tower think of the player?'' We know that the game is a reality, but... . Do they really think they are part of the data in the game? Or maybe the huge world called the Tower of Trials actually existed somewhere other than Earth? There are many possibilities, but there is no way to know the correct answer. Because I couldn''t find it on Naver or Google. However, if it''s Jinjo, Alice, who has been around for thousands of years... . Maybe you can give me the answer. "Elise, I have a question for you." Jinhyuk''s lips were soft. By the way. "???????????? ???????????????? !" The words that came out of his mouth were not Korean. No, it wasn''t any language. Only a combination of an ear-scratching dissonance and an unpleasant tone. What, what are you talking about? Scary. Elise flinched and stepped back. indeed. Is it like this? I was thinking about how to resolve the sense of incongruity between the player and those who were in the tower. In fact, the exchange of information has been blocked at the source. A simple but sure way. No, nothing. It was useless nonsense. At least it''s a big boon just to find out that you can''t talk to the beings inside the tower on this topic. ''It must have been blocked by text messages or other means.'' Jinhyuk took out ''Frozen Tears'' and ''Twilight Dew'' from his arms. Before starting hunting in earnest, it was necessary to raise the absolute amount of mana. [''Twilight Dew'' comes into contact with ''Frozen Tears''] [The second thawing begins.] with warm light. tsutsutsutsutsu . A new mana began to seep into Jinhyuk''s body. [Mana is increased by +18.] great. With this, the second thawing was successful. The difference appeared immediately. Whoa! Stable breathing and smooth flowing mana. Clearly, maintaining Elise has become much more comfortable. Well, I guess I''ll just have to be comfortable. In terms of level, it was like level 6 went up. ''I want to try it quickly.'' Indeed, how many unique abilities and skills can be used with increased mana, I wondered like crazy. There is one reason why the first basement floor of the Tower of Trials is called a ''spawning ground''. This is because monsters constantly crawl out of the abyss. Kie-ee! Aww! Insects wrapped in black skin screamed. Doo doo doo doo! A group of beetles the size of a tiger. Dozens of legs moved, and the distance quickly narrowed. In addition to the number of capitals, each level was over 20. It means that they are all tough guys. Boom! kwaang! As the distance drew closer, the insects jumped in unison. However, just before the sharp claws and teeth touched Jinhyuk. [The unique ability ''Star Blessing'' is activated!] A ray of light fell from the lake. kukuku kuk kuk! The power to bring out the protection of the constellations. That was Teresa''s unique ability. [Monsters'' magic defense is reduced by 30%.] [Monsters'' physical defense is reduced by 30%.] Kee-e-e-e! Keek! Keeek! Insects twisted and suffered. Having lived in the dark for a long time, I couldn''t stand the light so bright. From their point of view, it must be like burning your eyes with fire. And it wasn''t Jinhyuk who would just stand by and look at such a defenseless enemy. After all, I have to burn the worms for my taste. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It was appropriate to make every single one out of a lump of charcoal. Whoops! The ''Element of Fire'' manifested in his left hand gradually increased in size. From the size of a baseball to the size of a basketball... . From the size of a basketball, it eventually became a gigantic sphere measuring 1m in diameter. Jinhyuk''s shoulders were greatly tilted back. The fear burned more fiercely. Keiei... Key! Insects completely crawled on the ground. There was a gap in the front skin. now! Jinhyuk released the mana he had gathered to the limit. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A stream of fire engulfed the insects. Blind monsters turned into a handful of ashes without even screaming. Is it roughly arranged? the moment you said that. No, come again. Elise glanced back. Suddenly, dozens of new insects were crawling out. Don''t just talk, show your skills. Do you have to pay for the meal? What? To use this noble body''s power against these lowly bastards... A noble person can''t look at the sunlight, so can you keep him in a ring forever? Still haven''t fixed the habit of looking down from the throne? ''I was the queen of the empire, but when I opened my eyes, I became the Sudra of India'' What, can you take some pictures of this kind of ropan possession? At Jinhyuk''s sullen threat, Elise trembled. knowing it instinctively. That whining can make you really miserable. Oh, okay. You can do it, if you do! [[Ellis is Lv??] Activate ''Blood Bind''!] huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo It was then that drops of blood appeared in the air. A huge circle made of red liquid. In the key? Kek? In the blink of an eye, the insects'' bodies hardened. It is a skill that boasts a whopping double-digit level. No matter how much an insect-like monster that weighs several dozen times my body weight, I can''t help but cringe. Now you just need to finish. Jinhyuk grabbed the dagger and approached them. ''It''s also worth using.'' It doesn''t kill, but it stops at the line of support. The experience will be monopolized by the person who delivered the final blow. It was for this reason that he had to hold Elise by handing out mana. Scratch! The dagger drew an arc. The insect''s neck was neatly cut off. Next, then again. As long as their movements were sealed, dealing with them was just a piece of cake. [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] A level that goes up like crazy. The status window flickered incessantly. ''haha.'' A laugh came out of Jinhyuk''s mouth. It must be so much fun to run wild as you please. No, seriously. I thought I was going to die from waiting. ''It seems that the stress of having to maintain level 1 has accumulated too much.'' But from now on, you don''t have to. Finally, he was able to satisfy his thirst to be strong until he was satisfied. Doo doo doo doo! I saw new insects coming up again. Don''t go out this time. Do it yourself? Yes. I want to test how much I can use this ability with the mana I currently have. Jinhyuk injected mana into the dagger. [The unique ability ''Sword Graveyard'' is activated!] The swordsman''s talent permeated into every cell. I feel like my whole body is becoming extremely sharp. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart started beating fast. For the first time ever, a proper stage. Please. Please don''t stop and come endlessly. fault! Jinhyuk took his seat. CH 37 How to grow a dead person (4) Time passed quickly. About 24 hours after Jinhyuk entered the basement floor. The level that was 1 had grown up to level 12. Name: Kang Jin-hyuk Gender: Male Age: 27 Level: 12 Strength 8 Dexterity 8 Stamina 8 mana 41 Gap 100 Luck 10 Adaptability 10 Stat Points you have: 33 Coins held: 22740 Occupation: None Unique Abilities: Fusion, Sword Graveyard, Star Blessing skill: Lv4 ''Element of Fire'', Lv3 ''Eyes of Truth'', Lv3 ''Communion'', Lv3 ''Stigma of Souls'', Lv3 ''Reading'', Lv3 ''Shallow Breath'' crazy growth rate It took two weeks for Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa, who were two of the deceased, to reach level 10. However, despite the overwhelming growth, Jinhyuk''s expression didn''t seem to show much emotion. ''It''s a raid with Elise''s support for hunting sheep.'' Level 12 is not high. It''s natural. And I didn''t even want to be satisfied with this. Whoops! [Lv4 ''Element of Fire'' is activated.] A stream of fire rising from behind. As the level went up, the power and utilization of the ''Element of Fire'' also changed. ''The fighting spirit is almost back to its heyday.'' The body has adapted perfectly. It was thanks to the constant fight against the monsters. at that time. Are you going to bring the monsters into aggression once again? Seeing Jinhyeok activating his skill, Elise flew into the sky. The little wings on the back were flapping and flapping. Jinhyuk laughed at that. ''Now it seems that you are completely mastered.'' Although she grumbled, there seems to be no time for boredom thanks to this little queen who is doing her job properly. Do more than usual. Oh, and you don''t even need to use bondage this time. Huh? Isn''t it more convenient for me to tie it up? Yes, but I''d like to preserve your mana if possible. Preserve mana... why? Elise tilted her head. I don''t understand. If you hunt appropriately with aggro, you don''t need to save mana. Jinhyuk''s eyes turned to the pit in the middle. Insects were crawling up even at this moment in the abyss with no end in sight. I''ve warmed up enough, now I''ll have to go down there. Level up and increase the sense of action. Two objectives have already been achieved. So, it''s time to achieve the last purpose of visiting this place. ''By now, guilds around the world must be very anxious about the boss on the 3rd floor.'' It''s going to be very crazy and jump-and-run. Originally, I had to clear the boss battle that I was supposed to take after spending a lot of time growing up and not being prepared yet. But there is no answer after thinking about it for a hundred days. there has to be no The corner of Jinhyuk''s mouth went up. A boss monster on the 3rd floor that no one has overcome yet. Because the key to breaking through that difficulty with attributes was right down there. An old-fashioned castle suitable for the Middle Ages. Here, America''s ''Titan'' and Europe''s ''Olympus'', China''s ''Chinese China'' and Korea''s ''Fighting Father'' are all present. Representatives from as many as four guilds among the seven guilds were gathered. There is only one purpose. It was to hold a meeting about attacking the 3rd floor boss, which had already failed for the 8th time. ''That''s great.'' Looking at the rankers who continued to enter the banquet hall, Teresa exclaimed a little. I heard that the situation is not serious, but it seems that the situation is worse than expected. Seeing that the executives of each guild with such heavy buttocks moved directly. ''I must be impatient.'' There are now less than 40 days left for mankind. I don''t know, but at this meeting, there will be stories that will be a big turning point. right then A middle-aged man holding a wine glass opened his mouth. It was Patrick, an S-class player who attended as the representative of the American Titan Guild. It seems that most of us have gathered, so let''s start. The humming noise disappeared. Everyone''s eyes turned to Patrick. As you may already know, the 8th raid to get to the 4th floor failed. Out of 15 raids of 100 players each, only 9 returned alive. It was a pretty elaborate raid. Attempts to convert up to 1500 players and 2 relics. However, despite pouring out support, the raid failed once again to break through the last passage to the fourth floor. Why? Is it because the boss monster is overwhelmingly strong? Is there a lot of tricky traps? no. The last boss monster on the 3rd floor was just plain ordinary, and there were no tricky traps. Damn it. Even a relic that has anti-military ability fails. So, how do you go about breaking through so many bees like that? Yes. The problem is quantity, not quality. To go to the 4th floor, not hundreds or thousands. Over tens of thousands of Fragment statues had to be defeated. Now that I''m saying it, the 2nd and 3rd floors were attacked too quickly. In the end, look. What''s the cost. The wizard Maria, who was present as the representative of Olympus, also added a word. If there were enough players over level 15... . The raid would never have failed. However, the gap between the greed to climb the tower in haste and the level of the players widened. In the end, this month passed. I think you''re right. Wasn''t it all because of the Chinese side who wanted to monopolize the Magic Stone? Baek Jin-ho, the commander of the Dangun Guild''s 3rd raid, growled, showing his teeth. Then, the Chinese side, who had been silent, also poured out a thick blood. That statement is hard to ignore. We have only climbed the tower for the sake of humanity. Misleading without evidence is like a provocation against us. Tenwei, who belongs to China, frowned. Fuhaha! You sound like humankind. Everyone here knows how many people you killed to create a single power called China. "If I had to say one more word " If more? What are you going to do? stop! As their nerves were about to cross the road, Patrick intervened. "This is not the time to cover up the fuss with the past." There is a reality that needs to be addressed right now. This means that this is not the time to fight for power to decide what is right or wrong. Are you thinking of something? Yes, there is only one way to get around this situation. A shadow fell on Patrick''s face. Her lips trembled thinly, as if she had never expected to say these words. However, as if determined, he soon explained the reason for holding this meeting. Yesterday morning... I got a call from the ''Mains''. They said they would help us if they met one condition. At Patrick''s words, there was a huge commotion in the conference hall. then! "Are you going to accept their offer?" They''re all a collection of internationally wanted trash. You can never be with cockroaches. Never! The representatives of each guild were flagged. Currently, the influence of large guilds exceeds that of the government. That is why the external cause was so important. One word, one act, could have a huge ripple effect. So, everyone is extremely reluctant to associate with demons. Cheol. It''s garbage. Listening to garbage will break your heart. It was then that something wriggled in the shadow of the bonfire. It is an ominous and bizarre shadow. Honey gurgling! The shadow soon took the form of a person. An old man with a thin beard and white beard. However, the mana felt by the old man was too atrocious to ignore based on his appearance alone. It''s good to build up your self-esteem, but you all know it''s not okay, don''t you? The old man groaned. Cute! How dare you here! Patrick. Did you bring such a bastard all the way here? I''ll cut off that filthy hairy branch right away! Sreung! Chunkyung! Various weapons were selected. The mana ran into a rush, and the quiet banquet hall turned into a chaos in an instant. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The old man clicked his tongue. There are only a bunch of bloody friends. But, if you listen to the conditions here, you''ll change your mind. We have the power to break through the boss. Bags! How do you mean that a small number of people can outrun a large army? If we had to say the power of the demons, the numbers wouldn''t be much. A single group can never win a war. Even a raid consisting of a thousand men was annihilated in less than three days. Hmm, wouldn''t it be enough to make Suya? The old man struck the ground twice with a stick made of skulls. thud! thud! A dull noise echoed through the banquet hall. Then, at that very moment. [The unique ability ''Cursed Graveyard Graveyard'' is activated!] kukukuku! Several cracks and cracks on the marble floor. What, what? This ! People flew around to avoid the cracks that suddenly appeared. At the same time, the corpses that had become bones from the deep earth began to rise to the ground one by one. Chulchul. There are a lot of useful corpses buried in this land. Thanks to you, I can get good quality soldiers. Skeleton soldiers approaching three-digit numbers just by looking at them. Although the appearance was worn out by the winds and winds of many years, the sword and shield did not lose their anticipation. It''s enough to deal with troops with troops. As you can see, there are many friends who are good at necromancy and summoning among the demons. Necro...was it a mancer? But, in order to be able to play on such a scale... Tenwei, who had been muttering, suddenly opened his eyes wide. Surely, that wand! An old man holding a cane. I''ve seen it once before. To be precise, I remember seeing it when I played Tower of Trials in the past. Huh? Does anyone recognize this? The old man stroked the cane proudly. A special item that can only be made by collecting 99 materials. ''The staff of greed.'' It was not easy to make because it required such bizarre and cruel materials. If the synthesis was successful, this item displayed the best ability for the Necromancer. Indeed... if it''s a combination of the staff of greed and the necromancer, there''s a good chance of winning. The ninth attempt might be possible. Tenwei-san! Maybe? Maria''s eyebrows curled backwards. If these guys were approaching me to make a poor Excellent grade, I didn''t think I''d let it go. But, this strategy isn''t bad. Hmm. I''m sorry, but this time I agree with the Chinese guy. Of course, the condition that it is not known to the public is attached. Baek Jin-ho also spoke heavily. One by one, the atmosphere turned. toward accepting the proposals of the demons. Teresa looked at him and bit her lip. ''How did this happen?'' No matter what, you''re trying to join hands with demons. I wanted to dry it right away. You should never accept this. However, even in the absence of other sharp alternatives, it was impossible to blindly oppose it. ''Even if only Jinhyuk had participated.'' If so. There will be no need to worry about this. Unlike the ''fakes'' here, Jinhyuk is the only ''real'' he knows. because he was a veteran Considering the numerous performances shown in the impregnable ruins, he must have known how to get to the 4th floor. However. ''I can''t help it with my own strength.'' Yes. Can not help it. It was impossible to reverse this situation in his own opinion. But right then. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A blue status window was activated in front of me. [You have received a video call request from outside.] Normally, I wouldn''t have even bothered to contact other players. however. pounding! pounding! pounding! After reading the contents, Teresa''s heart began to beat like crazy. [The target is player Jinhyuk Kang.] come. [Are you sure you want to accept the call request?] A call from the person I so desperately wanted. Jinhyuk... Mr.! With trembling hands, I pressed accept, and a familiar face appeared. A relaxed expression and eyes. It was the appearance of Jinhyuk, whom Teresa was familiar with, with a confident atmosphere. And Jinhyuk. What? Those osteoporotic skeletons? He started the conversation with the most sensible words. CH 38 How to grow a dead person (5) Was it because Jinhyuk''s voice was too loud? The old man heard it too. Immediately, a roar filled with anger erupted. What, what? Gol... Osteoporosis? You say that now. You dare say that to my summons! Hmm. Was it too harsh in the beginning? But what if it looks like that? It might look powerful to the mediocre ones, but it just looked cute in the eyes of the deceased. Don''t just use your voice behind the screen, show yourself right now! In video calls, only friends can see their faces, so third parties can only hear their voices. Of course, conversion to full currency was possible if the parties agreed. Are you okay? Teresa asked cautiously. It''s okay. It looks like you contacted me at a rather troublesome moment, but it must be interesting. Jinhyuk nodded his head. [The video call is converted to a full call.] With a short message, a man wearing a mask with a strange pattern appeared. momentary silence. And what followed was a huge commotion. Hey, that mask! The ruins! You''re the one who attacked the ruins! Oh my God. I didn''t think anyone had any contacts at all, but did you know Teresa personally? It was natural for everyone to shout. A player who completely hides his identity behind a mask. So many people had been looking for it, but someone who had no clue appeared before their eyes. have to catch faster than anyone. That was the common thought of everyone here. ''Theresa is working as a soloist, so there is a high probability that that person does not belong to a guild either.'' ''Then it means that the person who snatches it first is the owner.'' ''Coins, items, or money should be poured without sparing.'' ''of course. The level of the guild itself would change completely, wouldn''t it be a waste of anything?'' ''Maybe this is the last chance.'' The representatives of each guild swallowed dry saliva. They looked at each other and waited for the right time to present the conditions. right then That''s funny. The old man stepped forward. Yeah. I''ve heard of it. I wonder if it''s a player who played an active part in the ruins on the first floor. However, this boss attack is different from that one. In the ruins, the power of each monster was strong, but there were not many. On the other hand, the way to the boss monster on the 3rd floor boasted an overwhelming amount of each monster instead of low combat power. It means that the field is completely different. Hmm. You mean you can? No matter how many enemies there are? Jinhyuk scratched his stomach when he went with his index finger. "Yes. Having a large number of summoned beasts is my specialty." Having a large number of summoned beasts... . Summoned beasts refer to the skeletons here, right? I admit that there are quite a few. But well. It must be difficult with that fake wand. What, what? "It''s a half piece, right? I saw that ''heart of an adult'' and ''shroud soaked in oil'' were omitted and synthesized." "That that how do you know that!?" how do you know That''s because it looks different from the real staff of greed. The finished product with all the ingredients has a red gem engraved under the right skull. Above all, the quality of the skeleton soldiers is too low. "Have you ever seen a finished product ?" The old man murmured in disbelief. Seeing that his chin was shaking, the shock seemed to be quite large. Curious? If you want, I can tell you where to find the rest of the ingredients. Really? Where the hell Big! The old man almost without realizing it for a moment told me to let him know. He managed to swallow the horse that rose almost to his throat. It was because if he uttered a single word here, he was admitting defeat. Jinhyuk, who saw that, smiled bitterly, as if he knew it would happen. After all, empty carts are noisy. ''At least, he must have been thinking of plucking a share from the guild with plausible words.'' Just by looking at his bluffing with his half-stick, his intentions were clearly visible. The shallow intention of stealing coins or items in the name of a down payment. When things got weird, the old man eventually bit his molar. Okay. Let''s step back today. And you. No matter who you are, I will definitely pay you back for this insult. Wow... that line. It''s the first time I''ve seen a guy actually doing it. what? No, aren''t you embarrassed to say it? ''I will surely repay you for this shame.'' Even in the 90''s animation, if you wrote that line, you''d be beaten by the broadcaster''s boss. If it had just disappeared quietly, there would have been no need to film Black History. Anyway, the problem with that guy is his humble self-esteem and his mouth. You bastard...! The old man glared at Jinhyuk as if to kill him. However, it was only for a short time. Honey! A shadow rose. Let''s see if we can be as relaxed as we are when we meet in person next time. And... keep in mind the people here too. The fact that we are the only ones with corps-level troops. At the same time, the figure of the old man was swallowed up in darkness. Inside the banquet hall in silence. So much had happened in such a short period of time that everyone needed time to face reality. It doesn''t matter if I leave it to such a clumsy person and fail again, but personally, I don''t think it''s a very good option. Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders towards Patrick. ...I know. However, we have no other option. Why is there no other option? Jinhyuk opened his mouth again. Leave it to me. I''ll take care of the cause of not having to work with the demons and the realities of attacking the tower. Wait, are you saying it''s possible? Patrick''s pupils dilated rapidly. Is it possible to attack alone? If it wasn''t for the player who attacked the ruins, it would have been filtered out even as a joke. Jinhyuk nodded without hesitation. it''s possible. not possible. Because that''s why I''m on the first basement floor now. "Well, then, how much should I pay for the down payment and remuneration " You can''t give it to me. Yes? Let me enter alone. If you block the entire area so that other players can''t even come close, I won''t get paid. At Jinhyuk''s words, Patrick opened his mouth like a goldfish. As if asking, ''Only on such a condition?'' Why are you even doing that? That''s it. Jinhyuk glanced at Teresa. I''m just trying to do the right thing for the sake of humanity and for the sake of my dear colleagues. As soon as he spoke, Jinhyuk pinched his thigh with his finger. Oh shit. ''Even if I say that, my limbs are shrinking.'' ''I must have felt that way a while ago... '' I even thought. However, unlike Jin-hyeok, who was very nervous, the faces of the people who heard this remark were dyed with an indescribable light. " " Teresa bit her lip. His dimples kept twitching at the word that he was a cherished colleague. "Heh heh. This is so I have nothing to say as the guild''s representative." awesome. You''re a true hero. We need to reflect. Ha. I started with that kind of heart, but I don''t know how I got here. admiration and resilience. Those representing the large guilds even reflected on themselves. I only said one word, but they misunderstood. ''It''ll be fine if you do this for the exterior.'' The reason for not accepting the down payment is not for the sake of humanity. It''s not even a reason to take care of the convenience of a large guild. Jinhyuk glanced at the camera on his shoulder. [Currently, all screens and conversations are being recorded.] A player who even gives up rewards for mankind. How much benefit can you get from this one phrase? I don''t know, but it will be several times more than the rewards offered by the guilds. You idiots, I''ll take the down payment and eat it. ''I''m not a fool who misses the big things while chasing the little things.'' Think about it. How much would the guilds at the beginning be able to give as a down payment? At least one low-grade relic? Or some coins or some cash? ''If you have time, you can get things like that.'' However, the solid position reflected in the public and the benefits derived from it It was sure to have a huge impact later on. Furthermore. ''First broadcast function. If you succeed as a solo player in the raid that everyone failed in your first debut match... !'' Just imagining it is thrilling. pounding! pounding! pounding! As if knowing in advance what the lottery numbers will be next week, Jinhyuk''s heart started beating with a pleasant sound. And. If I succeed this time, I would like to see you all and have a meal together. No, of course. We''re looking forward to it too. I hope that day will come. Everyone added one word at a time with a look of anticipation. He looked genuinely happy. But no matter how fun... . '' Am I the only one?'' Jinhyuk swallowed his saliva, and his taste buds were dry. Is this what it feels like to see a young chicken tap dancing in front of boiling water with ginseng and jujube? ''Wow! Even if only two or three of the rankers over there can copy the abilities... .'' this is awesome [The video call has ended.] When Jinhyuk disappeared, everyone''s eyes turned to Teresa. It was a bonus to have the eyes of a wolf aiming at the sheep. Theresa, could you tell me about the man you just had? Name, age, nationality. It doesn''t matter if it''s trivial. Heh heh, didn''t the European side bring in a new prospect this time? Please make some concessions to us this time. Should I say that he''s a promising prospect if he''s easily surpassed A-class? If you want, I''ll give you one truck, so instead, he''ll take a step back this time. What? Are you calling it a horse now? "Oh my gosh. Why are you mad? Ah well. People who lose horses always raise their voices." Woah ah ah ah! Another topic quickly heated up. in the middle of it Teresa wept as if in trouble. ''Mr. Jinhyuk... Silly.'' I didn''t even know what to do with the back cover. ''Things turned out better than I thought.'' Jinhyuk stretched as if satisfied. Thanks to the help of the demons, I took a good picture of the large guilds. By now, they are fighting for the title and drinking kimchi soup from a bowl at a time. ''Hmm. I''m a little sorry that I left Teresa in charge, but... .'' I''ll have to buy you a meal later, even if it''s delicious. That was then. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Are you going to kill me, me? Alice, whose face turned white, breathed heavily. Oh right. I forgot this guy. During a video call with Teresa, I made a small group to deal with the bugs coming up. Stop them all by yourself. As a result, Elise, who had used up all the remaining mana, was on the verge of fainting. It''s okay if you can complain. If you really think you''re going to die, you don''t have the strength to say anything. Hey, did you call that comfort now? We... wasn''t it a contract of slavery, not a partnership? Elise shook her head helplessly. what? Why are you talking seriously all of a sudden? to feel remorse in your conscience. Ttt! What do you see me as! Do you think I''m just teasing you like that? I was thinking of buying a ''mana supplement'' from a coin exchange and giving it to you. Although I bought the cheapest one, it doesn''t matter because Alice can''t see the coin exchange anyway. What would you do if you insisted that this was the most expensive? You can''t be a player either. By the way. I''m sorry, but such supplements don''t work for me. Elise shook her head. what? Did I say you don''t just pamper yourself? Yeah, that''s what I said... Fufu. Don''t worry. I''ll definitely take the mana I''ve used. Elise smiled brightly. The pointed molars on the corner of his mouth shone. How come it doesn''t feel good certainly. What I said when I first met this guy... . ''Tasty'', ''Blood that smells delicious''. Yes, it was a sentence with two keywords. shit. This is dangerous. Jinhyuk took a few steps back without realizing it. CH 39 Infinite Multiplication (1) With the sound of liquid dripping over. Finally, the blood donation (?) that saves a life is over. Ha. It was delicious. As if satisfied, Elise wiped the drops of blood from her lips with a handkerchief. On the other hand, Jinhyuk caressed the two tooth marks on the back of his neck with a complicated expression. wow My head is all dizzy. How much blood have you sucked, you bastard? Seriously, if you can''t pay for your meal, you''ll be locked up in a ring for a month. Don''t worry. With a mana like this, it seems like you could blow away all the bugs in the basement. Anyway. Jinhyuk with his tongue pressed straight away [Tower of Trials] connected to the community. And I registered the video I had taken a while ago. [The video has been uploaded.] I''ve been inducted into the Hall of Fame several times, but this is the first time I''m doing it myself. ''I''ll probably start as a new BJ, so I won''t be able to receive top exposure or banner events.'' But, it doesn''t matter. to be the guy As long as the content is full, the video that will eventually appear will appear. If you get even a little bit of word of mouth, it''s because it was the bottom menstruation that the number of views went up quickly. ''Okay, that''s it.'' Next, it''s time to shop at the ''Coin Exchange''. Jinhyuk''s pupils moved quickly. There were a few items I had to buy to achieve everything I wanted down there. [Giantizing Pill (C): 11,500] [Unknown cube (D): 2,500] [Ability Booster (D): 5,000] [Sticky glue (F) 4: 400] [Cobweb of Carlturis Forest (F): 300] [Twin-headed ogre''s runny nose 100mg(F): 300] Jinhyuk bought the item in an instant. Since I had already decided what to buy, there was no hesitation. I bought a bunch of things that looked useless. Elise tilted her head. It''s a face that seems to say, ''Why do you buy such garbage by investing so many coins?'' Well, to those who don''t know, it would look like a total waste of coins. Look. Jinhyuk laughed and walked towards the edge of the abyss. Are you going down? Yeah, I''m going to be crazy busy from now on. You should have a very enjoyable day. I have to see the end of the first basement floor within today. After speaking, Jinhyuk took a step forward. Boo woo woo! The wind pounded my body. ''Element of Fire'' A blast that can''t even be sustained. Because of this, the eyes were not functioning properly for a long time. Are there any countermeasures? Why don''t you say anything? Answer me! Come on, no... you don''t intend to commit suicide, are you? Alice screamed while holding Jinhyuk''s shoulder. It''s Jinjoin himself. Even if he falls to Earth from a meteor shower, he''ll be fine. The human body is not like that. Luckily, he died of a whole-body fracture. If you are unlucky, you will die without even leaving a form. ''Gravity magic or flying magic is too much.'' Do you know when it will end and keep pouring mana? I don''t know if he manifests in his original body. It was a bummer with this body. However, despite Elise''s urging, Jinhyuk did not answer. Just keep counting inside. ''17 minutes and 13 seconds... 17 minutes 20 seconds... 17 minutes and 44 seconds.'' Like a sophisticated watch. It moved the second hand in my mind. And finally. now! Jinhyuk, who was silent, shouted. [[Ellis is Lv??] Activate ''Reverse Gravity''!] In an instant, Jinhyuk''s body defied gravity. The timing when gravity magic was activated was about 1m away from the ground. If it had been even a little late, it would have met a terrible end. Okay. Now I can jump off the height so I don''t have to use magic. Huh? Uh... Alice waved her hand. Then gravity returned again, and Jinhyuk landed on the ground. ''First of all, I must reveal the view.'' Not even a handful of light came in, so the surroundings were beyond the dark level. Whoops! [Lv4 ''Element of Fire'' is activated.] Four fireballs illuminated all directions. A place of moist mud and cliffs. This is the deepest part of the Tower of Trials. By the way. What are you doing? Elise, who should be on her shoulder, was flapping her wings in the air. It was a bonus to make a fat face. Don''t hide it this time, just tell me. How the hell did you know where the floor was? Is that what you liked? "Oh, that''s that doesn''t make sense, this! How can you tell me the exact timing?" It''s a feeling. Huh? "It was just taken." It was exactly what I was memorizing. Was it when you were tired of the Tower of Trials? I tried crazy things in search of new thrills. After causing an avalanche at the top of a snowy mountain that is over 3km in height, go down on a sleigh. Like going into the Dragon lair naked and putting a bell around the sleeping Dragon''s neck. Try surviving for a week in the belly of a unicorn whale. and other things that stimulate peripheral nerves. Of course, diving here was one of them. After about 200 dives... . Even if you don''t like it, your body remembers it. About how deep this pit is. Oh really. It''s a feeling, it''s not filmed. Please tell me properly. It seems like there are a lot of things that we hide from the first time we met. You can''t do this with your partners! I''ll see what you''re doing and I''ll tell you later. Elise kept asking, but Jinhyuk waved his hand like it was annoying. right then " " This! Both responded at the same time. At the same time. Huuuuuuuo! Kreuk! Kreuk! All of a sudden, the mud started to move and move. Those who were resting in the damp and damp filth reacted. To prey on prey that have entered their territory. Sreung. Jinhyuk drew his dagger. ''It''s a giant worm... .'' As a medium-sized species, it is impressive with its massive body reaching 5m. It''s a matter of course, but since the skin is so thick, even the seeds cannot be eaten by any attack. Especially if it''s a dagger with a small area. if so. [The unique ability ''Sword Graveyard'' is activated!] Pants! A blue light flashed on the sword. If it''s a sword that cuts through everything, no matter how thick the fat is, it''s useless. Tie them all together in the order they come first. Okay. I''ve already worked with Elise hundreds of times. This means that even with your eyes closed, you are fully aware of how your opponent will seize and penetrate the space. kwaang! Jinhyuk kicked the ground and ran forward. Koooooooh! uuung! The worms'' jaws were wide open. Dozens of sharp teeth were exposed, and dirty saliva dripped. However, just before swallowing the prey. Their movements stopped abruptly. Again! Again! Thousands of thin lines of red blood could be seen. Alice''s bondage magic was activated. Jinhyuk increased his speed even more. Navigating among dozens of earthworms, he moved his dagger to and fro. Scratch! kwaduk! I felt a strong hand feel. A piece of meat with a diameter of 1 m slid vertically. As long as their movements are restricted, the earthworms are just large targets. What followed was truly a one-sided massacre. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The pits were also full of cut flesh. By the time I knocked over half like that. Aww! Koooh! The earthworms started to glow. He was tied with fine threads, but he twisted his whole body as if he didn''t care. ''This is not really self-sacrifice.'' If you run wild for a hundred days, you won''t be able to escape... . Do you really think that it is enough to sacrifice a part of your body? Jinjo''s bondage is not so easily broken. Seeing the earthworms slaughtering their flesh, Jinhyuk put on a bitter smile. kwaang! It was then that a roar was heard from the cliff side. Insects resembling scorpions and spiders crawled into the crevices. Kieek! Keek! huge number In addition, there was a mixture of winged flying species among them. Insects covered the ground and the sky in an instant. Hey, can you handle all this by yourself? Alice opened her rabbit eyes. But. Did you call that a question? Jinhyuk shrugged and injected mana into the dagger. Pants Tits... ! The black river, which gave off a blue light, suddenly turned black. And after a while, the tangible qi formed a form. Black Moon, Black Moon Night. ''The flower of the raid is also a wide-area base. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The strongest skill that destroyed the heavenly castle in one blow devoured the enemies. blackened vision. Insects could not move their antennae in the face of their approaching death. Here, underground, they were always the top-ranked predators. The other species were simply prey they ate when they were hungry. But, first and last... they realized The fact that even the teeth, claws, and overwhelming numbers that boasted a lethal death mean nothing in front of that person. A place swept away by a storm. Chi profit! Heat rose from the red-hot ground. There are no living beings left. is annihilation [Level has risen.] [Level has risen.] Thanks to swept away so many monsters, the level went up by two. Throb! Immediately after using a big technique, muscles creaked all over his body. His blood vessels were burning as if they were burning. However. ''It''s definitely better.'' The mana currently held is 41. The effect of absorbing ''frozen tears'' was felt throughout the body. If this is enough, even Black Moon Night will be enough to use up to three times. Whoa. My pounding heart calmed down. Jinhyuk spit out a word towards the darkness. Why don''t you come out on your own now? It''s time to realize that it''s useless no matter how many low-level bugs you have... isn''t it? The reason for the splendid performance. It was just to summon the owner of this underground. It was then that the subdued voice was heard. Hey. Do you know anything about me? Someone answered in the dark. Jittery! I could feel the pressure on my skin just by listening to the voice. It''s a feeling of intimidation similar to when I first met Alice. ''Indeed, it is a vessel that contains the body of a god.'' pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart started beating fast. I''m tired of fighting only with boring people, but I think I''ll be able to enjoy it properly. Answer me. I asked if you knew about me. The mana in his voice became deeper. Of course I know. I''ve heard of hounds that roam the desert, nailed to the ears. desert hounds. It was a word used to describe the Egyptian divinity, Anubis. Since it''s the first time I''ve come here, I tried to kill him after talking for a while, but he''s rushing his orders. I don''t intend to chat or flirt, I just rush. The nest will only be able to fulfill its role if your guy shows up in person, isn''t it? A special item that can multiply insects indefinitely, ''hive''. This is the reason why the first basement floor was said to be the best hunting ground. It''s amazing. I''m sure you know that. I know more than that. If possible, to save each other''s time, it would be better if we didn''t hide behind the bugs and came forward. Puhahaha! Are you saying that this body is going to stand up against only four of you? The light burst out as if there was no rush. Well, this kind of reaction would be normal. To this day, from that guy''s point of view, I''m probably still the same. In the end, if you want to copy the ability it has, you have to taunt it even more ridiculously. [Judgment of Anubis] Description: When Anubis asks three questions and the target answers three questions, the ''Curse'' is triggered. All stats are reduced by 50% for those who are cursed, and their unique abilities and skills are sealed for 1 minute.] A deceptive unique ability with an absolute roll effect. And to get that ability... . [Copy Conditions: Destroy the vessel containing Anubis'' consciousness by exhausting his patience.] No matter how much he is not his body, he is only a statue that is manifested in part of his consciousness. It''s almost impossible to run out of God''s patience. However, if the condition is achieved through the extreme probability. ''I am empowered to ask the most powerful questions in the world.'' CH 40 Infinite Multiplication (2) kukukuku! Heavy mana filled the underground interior. shit . Alice''s face was stiffer than ever. The absolutes that exist in this tower. If Elise is the pinnacle of a species... . The opponent is one of the apex of a myth. It means that it is an enemy that can never be seen lightly. I''ll take care of him, so in the meantime, somehow get out of the way. Huh? I can somehow survive, so you should run away first! What? Were you worried about me? It''s the size of a Pomeranian. What is it like to stand in front of you proudly? It''s like a dog trying to protect its owner. What are you worried about! I''m just, if you die, we won''t keep the promise we made. I''m just trying to stop it! Alice screamed in annoyance. Don''t worry, just watch. What? Now is the time to be proud of yourself here? I''m not bragging about myself. I''m just asking you to trust me. I''ll show. Who is the player you signed with? And who might be laughing at the end? kuung! kuung! kuung! with a huge roar. A stone statue of 3 m in size appeared. An appearance modeled after a desert jackal. This is the subterranean boss monster, Anubis. It''s funny. Did you hear anything about me from Jinjo on your shoulder? Anubis ''questioned''. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The air changed rapidly. This feeling, this feeling. Also, do you want to activate it? [Anubis activates his unique ability ''Judgment of Anubis''!] The caster asks three questions. If the subject answers three questions. Thereby the condition is satisfied. done. The corners of Jinhyuk''s mouth twisted slightly. Yeah, that''s right. Or how would I know this place? So is it. Anubis nodded as if in understanding. If it was a high-ranking creature like Jinjo, it was quite possible that he knew about the underground. Is the purpose of coming here to aim for ''Hive''? Well, that''s it. If you buy it and sell it on the black market, you can get a good share. If it''s an item that can multiply insects indefinitely, it''s really worth the price. second with this. Then I will ask you one last time. Grave robber, it is a natural habit of small creatures to be blinded by treasures, but did you think that you could come back alive after entering my realm? Last but not least, a pretty boring question. That''s of course... . If I can''t get rid of you, I''ll bite your tongue and die. Jinhyuk shrugged. And at the end of those words. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo God''s power was manifested. [All requirements have been met.] [Judgment of Anubis is activated!] [All stats are reduced by 50%!] [The use of unique abilities and skills is sealed for 1 minute!] Status windows appearing one after another. At the same time, I felt the mana and strength in my body rapidly diminishing. The sharp senses were dulled, and the skills and unique abilities that were familiar to them disappeared. However, It''s not over yet. Because the real fear of this ability was what followed. [Anubis chooses a ''war of judgment''!] Don''t introduce me. This is the great fighter who will be my hands and feet. A low, deep voice rang out. And at that very moment. Keeeeeeek! A powerful mana that could not be compared with the insects he had dealt with so far rose. kukukuku! The whole basement shook. A great warrior who has been chosen by God and obeys his orders. Therefore, the great player has the power to crush all enemies that stand in his way. The pale skin and the dazzling front claws stood out. ''Isn''t this guy level 71?'' The level of the blood relatives I met in the corridor was in their late 50s, so it can be considered higher. But the situation is different back then. Because the stats and unique abilities were sealed due to the ''Judgment of Anubis'' now. Jinhyuk held a dagger without a sword in his hand. Stop drooling. Do you want to eat my hair like that? Keiei! Even if you don''t know the Masu language, that probably means ''yes''. Come to think of it, there were some people who used the beast language among their unique abilities. If you fuse related abilities, what will pop out? It was when Jinhyuk was thinking about something else for a while. Sasak! The Giant Mentis slid quickly over the sand. The distance narrowed in an instant. Scythe-like claws stretched out toward the neck. But. Kaga! Jinhyuk slightly twisted the trajectory with his dagger. The claws split the air. Kek? swaying The body of the Giant Mentis leaned forward greatly. This is because the center of gravity is completely shaken. ''It''s completely full of gaps.'' What would you do if you could see 360 degrees with compound eyes? I don''t have time to react. A playful smile lingered in Jinhyuk''s eyes. At the same time, the dagger slashed through the gaps of the Giant Mentis. Whoops! The sound of flesh breaking apart. Green fluid spurted out. It was possible because it was aimed at the connecting part, not the part covered with armor. Kee-e-e-e! A desperate scream resounded throughout the cave. Now, with only one leg, I''m terrified. Jinhyuk pulled out his sword and widened the distance slightly. Didn''t you just care that you were a human? So, the kid didn''t lose a leg. There are definitely some really strong guys like this. They look down on their opponents and get ripped off, and then they get hit one by one in reverse. Keehee. The Giant Mentis faltered and stepped back. He growled low, looking at his amputated legs dripping with body fluids. But it was only for a short time. Honey! The severed leg sprouted again. ...just to make you speechless. This isn''t a piccolo. Each time it was cut, it grew. Jinhyuk quickly took a stance. come. kwaang! With the sound of sprinting from the ground, the Giant Mentis leaped again. Claws that draw arcs. ''This .'' no doubt At first glance, it doesn''t look like much, but there were white spots on his toenails. The sword wouldn''t be able to withstand it if it collided as it is. if so. Boo-woong! Jinhyuk moved his head to avoid the attack. A knife that ran through your hair. Boo Woong! Boo woo woo! The subsequent attacks also split the air. it''s never slow As the battle continued, it began to receive the resilience characteristic of insects, and also received the Great War buff. Because of this, the claws of the current Giant Mentis were so fast that it was difficult to discern them with the naked eye. Nevertheless, Jinhyuk brushed it all off by a single sheet of paper. As if riding a rhythm, with a unique movement. ''After all, a song is a trot.'' From the time the battle started, a song was playing in Jinhyuk''s head. -My love for you is unconditional and unconditional! Cross the Pacific Ocean! Cross the Atlantic Ocean! Thick tone and addictive melody. Whenever I was fighting these underground insects, I memorized the timing of the attack according to this rhythm. Miraculously, whenever an attack aimed at a vital point came, he could slowly waste his opponent''s stamina by avoiding it according to this sense of rhythm. ''How can this be better than before?'' No, really. In the past, there was sometimes a mistake or two, but now there are no minor mistakes. In the almost perfect movement, Jinhyuk felt even his rapid breathing enjoyable. Boo Woong! Boo-woong! As time went on, the attack speed gradually slowed down. The appearance of the claws began to vaguely show. ''great. At this point... .'' Jinhyuk held the dagger in reverse. Last dodging the attack coming from the top. Boo woo woo! Aim for an empty gap! I took a picture of the Giant Mentis'' hind legs with maximum force. Whoops! Whoops! Whoops! Whoops! A clean blow aimed at the tendon. Jinhyeok, who gave him four bee stings in an instant, slowly opened the distance again. Keeek! kuung! The giant mentees were scattered all over the place. Of course, it wasn''t fatal. After all, the wound will heal anyway. ''But the scars left in my heart last a lifetime.'' Jinhyuk staggered and stood in front of the Giant Mentis who was about to stand up. Then he started repeating sitting down and getting up. Once, twice, three times... . Kieek! When the angry Giant Mentis gets up again, defeat them. He immediately repeated the same action. Once, twice, three times. The point here is that you never make a difficult expression. A relaxed atmosphere and a lightly raised corner of the mouth. Finally, even the expression ''You won''t be able to defeat me even after a hundred years pass''. It felt like my thighs were going to explode, but that''s okay. Because this moment of insulting a strong opponent is the reason why the deceased exists in this world. Hey, how the hell did this happen! Anubis let out a scream stained with anger and astonishment. A fight that is certain of an overwhelming victory is going in the opposite direction, so it is inevitable. It was hard for Elise to believe this situation as well. I knew it was strong, but it''s supposed to be like this... He was a special person from the first time we met. Admit it. Even Belus, who was the best among his clan, struggled and was defeated in the end. However, it was a time when all abilities could be used in the corridor. Now that the nerf and unique abilities and skills are sealed, it''s a completely different kind of story. ''To play with your opponents only with your senses and reflexes.'' Alice swallowed dry saliva. It was an unbelievable sight. What''s more, isn''t the opponent Anubis'' designated opponent? It was like crazy to have so much leeway against it. In Alice''s eyes, even at this moment, Jinhyuk was repeating sitting and getting up in front of the Giant Mentis. ''Really, it might be possible with that guy.'' The fall of the Ataraxia family and the hatred of the six families that caused it. perhaps . really maybe. Maybe one person can fulfill that longing. pounding! pounding! pounding! Alice''s heart began to beat quietly. Anticipation and excitement, and a sense of exaltation beyond it, spread throughout the body. And right then. The legs of the Giant Mentis, which were neatly cut, soared high into the sky. poop. Jinhyuk wiped the body fluid from the dagger to the floor. ''great.'' With this, both claws that were proud of were removed. Kee, Kee... The Giant Mentis hesitated and backed away. This is a rare sight for insect-type beasts with extremely high belligerent properties. why? Can you stop flirting now? Didn''t you like hunting? You''ve been running rampantly and with such a high momentum all this time, are you going to quit already? Of course, I understand. Because hunting is more fun to chase than to be chased. But this time it''s the hunter''s turn to be the prey. What are you doing! Don''t back down, fight! Fight back! Anubis raised her voice. Feeling frustrated, he hit his chest with his fist. However, the Giant Mentis, who had already been completely terrified, did not listen to their master''s orders. What are you doing? You have to run fast. Jinhyuk put the dagger on his shoulder. Then she put her lips together and started counting from ten. run away as far as possible It won''t be easy though. CH 41 Infinite Multiplication (3) Ke-e-e-e! with a sharp flurry. The body of the Giant Mentis, which had a hole in it, collapsed. No matter how good the reproducibility is, it is useless. No matter how tough he was, his heart could not be restored. [''The Great of Anubis'' has fallen.] [Level has risen.] [You have acquired ''Grimoire of the Principality of Peltaros''.] [You have acquired an intermediate level magic stone.] Another level went up with this. In addition, Grimoire, which can only be seen by going to the middle of the tower, appeared. ''Hey, look at this?'' A small exclamation flowed from Jinhyuk''s mouth. He has defeated his opponent dozens of times so far, but never has given him such a good reward. Because it was all about dropping weapons or sometimes giving accessories with special effects. But, why is the gap between rewards so wide all of a sudden? Jinhyuk immediately realized the reason. ''It was thanks to the effect of reading and luck stats were also applied.'' Necessity, not coincidence. It is the small talents that have been continuously built up that have achieved the present results. exhilarating ''Because my efforts were never in vain.'' I guess I couldn''t finish the game even if it was stagnant in this taste. Jinhyuk picked up an old book lying next to the body. ...! A chill that pierces your fingertips. cold. [The pure cold will paralyze some of your fingertips.] Grimoire of the Principality of Peltaros was able to learn ice magic, so it was traded at a high price for non-magical players. Although more than 90% did not succeed in making a snowflake let alone ice magic... . The opportunity to acquire other types of skill alone was of sufficient scarcity value. ''It''s like a principality where magic masters are concentrated.'' The corner of Jinhyuk''s mouth went up. You can only see it on the 13th floor, so I was trying to get it slowly later. I was able to use the new magic much sooner than planned. square. Let''s open the first chapter of the book. Complex-looking characters caught my eye. Anubis, who watched it, smiled. yea that''s the way it is Grimoire was all written in runes, so people couldn''t even read it in the first place. Moreover, even if they were to learn the runes, it took a considerable amount of time again to understand the contents written therein and to use the most basic magic. hard work and talent. This means that magic can only be used when both realms are supported. It''s stupid. You don''t know that it takes much more than three years just to read that Grimoire... Heh!? Anubis, who was talking, took a deep breath. tsutsutsutsutsu! The moisture in the air froze, and transparent ice powders began to scatter. [You can use your unique abilities and skills after 1 minute.] [Lv1 ''Ice Sculpting'' is activated!] Yes? I think I heard something like a dog barking. What did you just say? Uh, how... how is it "I studied mainly with textbooks." Of course, learning a new language is never easy. Because there are a lot of people who can''t even use English properly after 12 years of elementary, middle and high school. But, that''s the story when it''s an indoctrinated education. ''This It''s a study I really wanted to study.'' because it was fun And it was only by learning this that I could become strong. so I chanted practiced to death. Continue, keep going, until you''re stronger than the players who chose the magic class. tsutsutsu! The ice powder that had been scattered all along took a single shape. 5 ice arrows over 2m tall. Each beautifully crafted arrow waited for Jinhyuk''s command. I must admit that you''re not a normal human being. But, are you going to believe in that ice toy and fight me? Know. what? I know it''s useless. You cannot kill Anubis by any means you currently have. No, it will not cause even a small wound on the skin. Like Elise, he was also a monster at the top of this tower. However. Isn''t it the same for you, too, when you''re nervous? Most of all, you can''t attack other living things without using a warlord or a bug, so you''d be on the verge of dying from frustration? " " This time, Anubis kept her mouth shut. It was meant to intimidate the other person, but somehow the guy already knew all about it. Besides, he is in a state of seeing through all the kinds of restrictions placed on him. ''The more I look at it, the more surprising it is.'' The most interesting thing is that even though he knew that no matter how much he attacked, he didn''t seem to want to back down. Why? wonder. what the hell are you thinking And what''s the secret behind it. However, contrary to Anubis'' expectations, the words that came out of Jinhyuk''s mouth were too futile. "Just fun?" Jae, fun? It''s a punching bag that doesn''t die no matter how hard you hit it. I can''t give up on this. Your cheekiness is reaching the sky. Ududuk and. A very thin incontinence went on the surface of the statue of Anubis. Jinhyuk did not miss that small change. great. ''Like a guy with high self-esteem, he''s weak against provocations.'' If you keep scratching in this way, you will soon be able to achieve your copy conditions. And to prove it. kukukuku! Anubis pulled out a hive the size of a basketball. It was a special item ''hive'' that could multiply indefinitely. Are you finally going to use it? Since the great had disappeared, that was the only option left. Tear apart that damn human and swallow it! Anubis injected mana into the hive. OK. Boo woo woo! Boo Woong! Flying bugs with wings started pouring out of the hive. A creepy sound that pierces the eardrum. At the same time, the ice arrows above Jinhyuk''s head disappeared. KwaKwaKwabang! There was a heavy snowstorm with a roar. Dozens of insects were threaded into the two-meter-tall poles that were stuck on the floor. all are hit ''After all, it''s not too early to hit this much.'' It was an ice arrow that lightly pierced even the outer skin of an insect, but it failed to destroy the hive. But it doesn''t matter. Because the victory or defeat of this battle depended on who has the better endurance. Whoops! A handful of sparks arose in Jinhyuk''s left hand. tsutsutsu! In his right hand, thin stalks of ice radiated a chill. right then [''Element of Fire (B)'' and ''Ice Sculpting (A)'' are fused!] Jinhyuk put his hands together. Ice and fire gathered and mana began to run rampant. Fireworks and blizzards intertwined. kukukuku! The air changed rapidly. Keiei... Keek! Kek! Even the insects faltered in the heterogeneous mana. Anubis'' eyes narrowed. [Fusion successful!] [You have acquired the skill ''Day Light (AA)''!] [Daylight] Acquisition Difficulty: AA Description: This is an anti-military skill that compresses and releases mana. White-type magic is very powerful in itself, but it is very useful in battle because it affects the field of vision. [The fused skill is stored in ''Memory of the World''.] Following ice modeling, new skills were acquired through fusion. It is also an anti-army skill specialized in dealing with a whopping number of enemies. ''Really, how about the power?'' I''ve acquired this skill in the past, but I''m not as perfect as I am now. Should I say that I made mistakes and failed and wasted time and effort mixed up? So it was expected. Where will this road we are walking now lead to? Jinhyuk extended his dagger forward. uuung! [Lv1 ''Day Light'' is activated!] It was then that a huge light engulfed the basement. It''s like standing under the hot summer sun. A dazzling light burned the worm''s eyes. Keeek! Kiaaaah! The worms screamed in pain. It was a natural result since I had never seen light in a long time. I know it''s painful, but how are you going to avoid this if you keep your head down like that? Daylight''s primary effect is light property damage. Damages and blinds creatures with dark attributes. However, the real thing is a storm that comes in two cars. Jinhyuk looked at the light gathered at the tip of the dagger. His arms trembled weakly. Compressing the powerful mana is because the muscles have been strained. a little bit. little bit more ! And that moment. A single point of light was emitted in a straight line. There was no roar or explosion. The ground wasn''t smashed or there wasn''t a hole in the wall. They were only faithful to one purpose: lethality. Chewy profit! White phosphorus. The devil''s flame, which continued to burn even when it entered the water, did not stop until it burned all the insects in sight. Of course, in the midst of this, Hive continued to create new bugs, but... . Jinhyuk poured mana without a break to prevent the number from accumulating. ''The scary thing about colony bugs is because of their number.'' They have excellent cooperation and are good at group hunting, so as the number increases, they become more difficult to deal with. It means that it exerts more than 3 or 4 power, not just 1+1=2. But in other words. It also means that defeating each one is not a task if you don''t gather tens of thousands. Whoops! kwaaang! When one flame exploded, it became a trigger and exploded another flame. Ice arrows also pierced the outer skins of large insects, and they faithfully fulfilled their roles. The rate at which insects die was faster than the rate at which they were born. Ugh...! In the end, Anubis, who didn''t see it, activated Hive''s second ability. [''Hive'' selects the target.] Moments later, a wasp less than a meter tall came out of the hive. The sting looked pretty dangerous, but that was all. The mana he possessed was low, and there was nothing he could do with a single individual. Keeek! A long roared wasp flew up with its stinger up. And it began to descend as it was from the height of about 20m. Boo woo woo! pretty fast speed. He took out Jinhyuk''s dagger. kwaduk! Two knives crossed. A thick fluid dripped from the tip of the dagger, drop by drop. The wasp, which lost its head, was thrown to the ground in the same way it flew. Aww! The ending was too futile for being chosen by Hive. I thought so. Kei... The wasp didn''t die. I felt like I was wriggling and my hair started to grow anew. Are you playing? Fufu. Do you just see it like that? Anubis laughed lowly. Keiei! Keeek! It was then that the second voice was heard. A new body grew not only from the newly grown head from the body, but also from the head that had been cut off this time. Fragmentation, not regeneration. Totally a live-action horror movie. Isn''t it useless to cut it? Yes. Now, no matter how much you run, you will fight more bugs. This is the second ability of the hive. You have to deal with the infinitely dividing bugs until you run out of stamina and mana. No matter how strong a player is, there will be limits. In the end, there was only a difference in time, and the result was decided from the beginning. However. '' Finally caught.'' Jinhyuk laughed. Because even this desperate situation was all planned by him. And knowing that all of this will become a paving stone and lead to the desired result. I couldn''t help but laugh. CH 42 Infinite Multiplication (4) Keeek! Kie-ee! Two hornets roared long. [[''Fear Resistance'' due to Hive''s ability] The effect is activated!] Jinhyuk''s ''gap'' If the stats overcome or widen the essential gap with the target. ''Fear Resistance'' paralyzes part of the senses and has the effect of biting enemies until death. It''s a pretty annoying ability. Especially if it''s someone who doesn''t die and keeps dividing. Boo woo woo! The wasps started flying from the left and right, respectively. As before, I saw an opportunity to descend from the sky. ''Now.'' Jinhyuk took out an item he had purchased from the ''Coin Exchange'' the other day. [Giantizing Pill (C)] A special item that has the effect of increasing the size of the target up to 10 times. It was the trump card prepared for this moment. Stupid! Did you think that you could survive poison by growing in size! Anubis, who was watching it, burst into a madness. The wasp''s venom, strengthened by the hive, could kill even poison-tolerant giants. Even if I ate a hundred pills, it was useless. However. Jinhyuk didn''t eat it. Who is it? I eat? Rather, it was thrown towards the mouth of the flying wasp. A trajectory extending in a straight line. gulp! The pill passed through the wasp''s throat. Kek? "Wow, what what !" A gust of wind came out of Anubis'' mouth, but Jinhyuk didn''t respond. Instead, he slammed the ground and ran forward. ''It must be finished before the pill is fully absorbed.'' About 1 minute. That amount of leeway was left until the giganticization proceeded. The distance narrowed in an instant. Jinhyuk approached the nose of the wasp that ate the pill. The wasp moved its tail reflexively. A bee sting, dripping with venom, was aimed at Jinhyuk''s neck. ''I''m still aiming for the carotid artery.'' It is their instinct to aim for the vital point. Jinhyuk moved his neck slightly to avoid the poison sting. At the same time, he stretched out his arms and climbed onto the wasp''s back. It is a natural movement, like flowing water. Ke-e-e-e! The wasp twisted its whole body. Wow! Whoa! don''t run away ''Cause I''m trying to get away Jin-hyeok firmly grasped the wasp''s wings on his back. Then, with the thumb, he pressed the part of the nervous system. OK. Keiei... The wasp''s movements became noticeably quieter. It stimulates the central nervous system, so it has to be. This allowed us to control the direction and speed as well as the aggression. ''Before, flying races with insects helps in this way.'' That''s why experience, no matter how eccentric, is sometimes useful. Of course, there were more memories of flying and falling at the time. Boo woo woo! Jinhyuk rode a wasp and flew to the hive. What are you doing! Kill him! Kill him right now! Anubis gave orders to the rest of the wasps. Kieek! The wasp that received the order followed Jinhyuk''s tail closely. Now you have 30 seconds left. faster... ! Just a little faster! It was not easy to even open his eyes to the wind pressure, but Jinhyuk increased his speed. 20 seconds, 19 seconds... And the moment when the remaining time finally reached 10 seconds. [You used an unknown cube (D).] Jinhyuk used another item obtained from the coin exchange. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A translucent cube about 2 m in size wrapped around the entire hive. Of course, right before one side of the cube was completely closed, Jinhyuk had already escaped there. Leaving behind the wasp that was controlling and the wasp that was chasing. ''Now it''s over.'' [Combining 4 items to strengthen the ''Unknown Cube''!] [Ability Booster (D)] [Sticky glue (F) 4] [Cobweb of Carlturis Forest (F)] [Twin-headed ogre''s runny nose 100mg(F)] After using all the rest of the items, a spider web pattern was engraved on the translucent membrane. Keeek! Keek! kwaang! bang! bang! bang! The wasps hit the wall with their whole body, but not a single crack went through the wall. Even if it was improvised within the limit of the coins it had, it boasted a pretty good performance. great. With this, the final stage was set. "The opening ceremony should start with fireworks, right?" Due to lack of time, the opening remarks will be omitted. Jinhyuk bumped his index finger and thumb. [Lv4 ''Element of Fire'' is activated!] At the moment when gigantism is about to proceed. Inside the cube, the flame that was left with the wasps reacted. Puff Puff Puff! A huge flame broke out. Because it was an explosion in an enclosed space, the power was also beyond imagination. Wasps completely turned into charcoal. However, the fragments shattered as if they had been like that were wriggling. Proliferation and regeneration are going on at the same time. Kei... Keek! Keeek! Fragment Hundreds of wasps are newly born according to the number of fragments. That''s a huge number. It''s a huge number, though. the problem is. The point is that the space defined in the cube is now limited. That play! Ududuk! The wasps'' coats were crushed by the unbearable number. Eventually, the exoskeleton began to crumble because it could not handle the pressure. [The Giant Pill (C) has been dropped.] [Level has risen!] The ''giant pills'' that were not completely absorbed from the crushed corpse fell down. ''As expected.'' The corner of Jinhyuk''s mouth went up. It was for this reason that I wanted to keep the time of one minute so much. If you feed the giants that multiply infinity, and then kill them before they take effect... . The pills will also multiply and drop indefinitely. Of course, other items could be secured in the same way, but there was a reason for choosing the giant pill. This is because high-ranked or bulky items could not be fed at all, and as many pills as possible were needed to attack the 4th floor. ''By the way, I''ve already gone up 2 levels.'' Due to the genocide comparable to that of sheep hunting, the experience points also went up like crazy. what is it On a midsummer night''s night, thin iced beer is enough, but should I say that it''s like eating freshly fried chicken with it? It seemed like he was going to get drunk on the reward of every move that was composed of such a sweet combination. ''Because I can''t give up the first basement floor for this taste.'' Crawling into a damp, damp pit and fighting disgusting insects is a far cry from a pleasant schedule. Nevertheless, the reason I was able to endure with a smile was thanks to the reward that came after hard work. Keeek! Kik! Wasps die, are reborn, and die again. A M?bius strip that bites tail to tail. All I had to do was just cross my arms and look around. Even if you stand still, the items and experience will come in. [The Giant Pill (C) has been dropped.] [Level has risen!] [The Giant Pill (C) has been dropped.] [Level has risen!] [Giant... .] [Level is !] Looking at the frantically pouring status windows, Jinhyuk thought. By now... Looking at this, Anubis'' insides would be rotten and rotten. Hey, what the hell is this...! Anubis'' eyes expanded like they were about to explode. Clearly, it was a plan that boasted a deadly death. Against the infinitely multiplying bugs, even the strong ones called me fled with trembling. By the way. There must be a way to destroy the foundation of the hive in that way. I couldn''t even imagine. So I couldn''t help but be shocked. ''Is it possible that you were trying to provoke me from the beginning?'' Seeing that the items for synthesizing were also obtained in advance, there was no doubt. Everything was a trap. pudding! A terrifying sound came from Anubis'' molars. At the thought of becoming a puppet dancing on the palm of my hand, my reason seemed to be blown away with anger... . I didn''t even have time to get angry right now. I saw Jinhyuk, who was leveling up like crazy. As time goes by, he gets stronger. have to decide even 1 second faster. Damn it. The only way to prevent this disaster. that is . Anubis spread out her palms. And after a while, he closed his eyes tightly and clenched his fists. [Anubis destroys the ''hive''!] Aww! The hive inside the cube exploded. Is this how it comes out? Jinhyuk, who was enjoying leveling up in the middle of the day, clicked his tongue as if regretting it. I knew sweet moments couldn''t last forever. However, when that moment came, I couldn''t help but feel sad. You bastard! Anubis exposed her teeth. it''s dry The white and strong-looking thing seems to separate the bones and flesh cleanly when bitten. But there is no need to be afraid. As long as the hive was destroyed, this fight was almost over. I know you''re angry, but let your impressions go. You know that it''s the ugliest thing to get wet after losing, right? Do you think you''ll be fine even if you do this? Huh. don''t be safe Even if he threatened me like that, I would eat three meals a day and eat well, and then I would die around the age of 100. Short-lived () and sudden death are words that are not in my dictionary. Aaaaaah! At Jinhyuk''s clever attitude, Anubis couldn''t control his anger and rolled his feet. kwaang! bang! kwaaang! The floor cracked and cracked. I''m madly angry and I want to kill the guy in front of me. The reality of not being able to do anything was so annoying. Surely, you must come up alive. Human! In that case, I will pull out the branches along with the spine with this hand. I''m going to do that even if you don''t tell me. Ah! Of course, I''m going to put my neck in its original position. It''s not a combined robot, and I don''t think it would look good if I pulled it out and attached it. " " Anubis was at a loss for words. The more we talked, the more stress we had. Standing here for every minute and second only increased shame and anger. at last. Face. I remembered it well. With a short warning. Anubis destroyed the stone statue containing his soul. Kukuku! [The vessel of Anubis is destroyed!] crumbling fragments. At the same time. [Condition met!] [Judgment of Anubis] Acquisition Difficulty: Overrank Description: If you ask the target three questions and the target answers the three questions, the condition is met, reducing the target''s stats by 50% and limiting the activation of skills and unique abilities for 1 minute.] [However, this ability can only be used once on the same target, and if abused, it may anger the Egyptian divinities.] New abilities were also acquired. It is an ability classified as an Overrank with divine power. ''I received my Christmas present too early, this.'' You can drastically reduce the target''s stats just by answering questions. This is a total scam. Although there are restrictions, if used in a timely manner, it should not be a problem. That was then. [The gods of Egyptian mythology are interested in your existence.] [Some of them express strong hostility!] A red status window appears. It seems that Anubis couldn''t stand the bird and ran to the centipede''s side, arguing. ''Anyway, God''s clothes are lighter.'' ttttttttttttttttttttt Jinhyuk clicked his tongue inwardly. ''I''ll think about the upper floors of the tower later. First of all, stat points should be distributed first.'' The priority was not the Egyptians who were afraid to see each other later. It''s about the current growth and the 3rd floor boss right in front of you. Only level 18 when I came here. The stats were also stacked up to 54 points. crazy growth yea that''s the way it is Because it was level 20 that a ranker, who received generous support from a large guild, could barely shoot after hunting for a month in an exclusive dungeon. If you could achieve that by yourself and in just one day, who would believe it? ''I''ll have to think about where to invest the stats.'' It was at that time when Jinhyuk was just about to bring up the stats window. uuung! A status window for requesting a call appears. Who is this guy? Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. The name displayed on the screen is . He was quite an unexpected person. CH 43 Sword''s Suggestion (1) [Chun Yoo-seong requested a video call.] [Are you sure you want to accept it?] A familiar name appeared on the screen. Jinhyuk dragged the call indicator on the screen. Hey, were you alive? The demons wouldn''t have been quite formidable... . It seems that the swordsman was also on the top. You bastard! Do you know how much trouble I''ve been through all night because of you! I couldn''t even sleep to deal with those leech bastards! Cheon Yoosung raised his voice. I know. But I did it all for you. You''re good at everything else, but you don''t have enough face-to-face combat experience. Hey, say that! Besides, I want to tell you about the word gyokjisaji. I''m sure you''ve learned what it feels like to be chased by a leech. Seriously... After you die, you will surely go to Hell. Ummm. That seems hard to deny. If I divide good and evil, perhaps, I will be closer to evil. If I had to choose between Heaven and Hell, I think Hell would be more interesting. by the way. It doesn''t look like you''re calling me to swear. What do you want? If you were really going to get revenge for something about demons, you wouldn''t have talked like this. He must have come and wielded the sword himself. Having fought more than 100 times over the years, Jinhyuk understood the character Cheon Yuseong better than anyone else. You''re too quick to notice. Actually, I have one thing to suggest to you. Isn''t the first thing you brought up the story of Mine to prevent you from rejecting the offer? Think of it. Okay. Let''s hear the story first. Jinhyuk nodded his head. Then, Cheon Yoosung opened his mouth. "In an hour, the Awakened Association will hold an event. Players who have been judged AA or higher, including myself, are supposed to gather and hold a ball." This is so... . It''s a prom. The times are good. The boss attack is still failing, so the association is holding a ball? "That''s why we hold it." what? "People are feeling anxious due to successive failures, and the public trust of the association and guild is about to decline. So, this ball is meant to show how strong and reliable the players can be." Hmm. There is a point. Sparring of players with colorful and diverse abilities. Raids hunting monsters often came out through the view tube, but the opportunity to see the battle between players was rare. It''s definitely not a bad way to release the bloated tension. Just like the Roman emperors in the past satisfied the masses through the Colosseum. yes what I understand the intention. What does that have to do with me? I didn''t get a grade AA or higher? The winner of the ball is given the right to choose one of two options. Choose one of the replicas of the relics in the National Museum of Korea... Cheon Yoosung''s voice was low. something feels strong Or get a nomination right to apply for sparring against a player who did not participate in the ball. shit. Why is the ominous feeling never wrong? Jinhyuk pressed his finger on his temple. "Are you going to fight me?" Killing you is the only reason I climb the tower. It would be great if it was in front of everyone watching. Wow. Guess who isn''t a fighter. Hit a wish once. Maybe the real middle school bottle is what that guy has. But, isn''t that enough if I refuse? Is that the right to point or what? Of course, that''s fine. Rejection may brand you a coward, but if you don''t mind it, it doesn''t matter. "Then, I can say no. I hate being bothered more than stigma." thank God. There''s a hole in the back that you can get out of. It was time for Jinhyuk to breathe a sigh of relief. No, you can''t refuse. Cheon Yoosung took out a black ticket from his inner pocket. It was a ticket that looked unusual at first glance, with golden letters and holograms embedded in it. What is that? This is an invitation from the black market. With this, you can participate in the auction in Las Vegas tomorrow at midnight. ...!? At Cheon Yu-seong''s words, Jin-hyuk''s eyes narrowed. yea that''s the way it is Invitations to auctions hosted by Black Market are not easily available even if you want to. There are only rumors that it can only be obtained by passing very difficult conditions. The exact method of acquisition was not known. but saving it ''Didn''t you bring something too appetizing for a bait?'' Unlike the ''coin exchange'' that players can use, cash is the main currency, so it was a pretty attractive opportunity for those with a lot of cash. All of the items that come up for auction would be worth using. Three days later, there were items needed to attack the 4th floor. If it was an auction house, I would be able to obtain much better ones. "Instead, if you don''t win, will the tickets be given away for free?" Don''t worry. It won''t happen. Cheon Yoosung put the ticket back into his inner pocket. And added a word. Come in the best condition. Because I don''t want to hear excuses about losing because I''m tired. The video call ended there. Until the very end, leaving behind a manly word. On the way from the first basement floor to the Awakened Association. Jinhyuk finished the work he couldn''t do underground. Name: Kang Jin-hyuk Gender: Male Age: 27 Level: 19 Strength 8 Dexterity 8 Stamina 8 mana 41 Gap 100 Luck 10 Adaptive 10 Stat Points you have: 54 Coins held: 2740 Occupation: None. Unique Abilities: Fusion, Sword Graveyard, Star Blessing, Anubis'' Judgment skill: Lv4 ''Element of Fire'', Lv3 ''Eyes of Truth'', Lv3 ''Communion'', Lv3 ''Stigma of Souls'', Lv3 ''Reading'', Lv3 ''Shallow Breath'', Lv1 ''Ice Sculpting'', Lv1 ''Daylight'' ''54 points... .'' Seeing this makes me feel for sure. How madly they hunted in one day. Besides, the corners of Jinhyuk''s lips turned upwards with the unique abilities and skills written in it. In particular, the newly acquired ''Ice Sculpture'' and ''Daylight'' And ''Judgment of Anubis'' will have endless uses in the future. crazy There was nothing to say other than that he was crazy about the growth rate that was incomparable to others. Jinhyuk''s eyes turned to the stats again. ''Stats should be raised evenly, focusing on things that have not been invested so far.'' It''s not that the specialized type is bad, but in order to cope in a variety of environments, it was better to exceed the minimum standard for other stats as well. The higher the tower, the more anomalous climate and monsters appeared. [Strength increases from 8 to 16.] [Agility increases from 8 to 16.] [Health increases from 8 to 16.] 8 points were invested in all three stats. Then where... . Jinhyuk grabbed a stone that had fallen on the floor. and gave it a light touch. Ududuk. A stone split in two. The grip has definitely changed. Thanks to the increased agility, the senses of the whole body were also more sharply captured. ''I will be able to feel the stamina when the battle is prolonged, so I''ll have to watch it a bit more.'' That was when I was thinking. [[Congratulations! The video you uploaded is ''HOT issue''] You have been selected as a video.] A golden status window appeared in front of me. Five. Have you already been through word of mouth? I thought it would take a little more time, but since the content is the content, it seems to have spread much faster than I expected. Jinhyuk quickly clicked on the video. He, Patrick, Teresa, and other rankers of the large guild were seen wearing masks. Of course, Mine had been properly edited. Because the purpose of this video was not to undermine the image of the guild. And even if you didn''t attract aggro like that, the reaction was already explosive. -Helen is crying: You are going to the boss without pay, and that alone. Is this real? -Noisy and panties: Wow. I thought it was just my skills, but I''m tired of my personality. -Become Orun: Dog is cool. It''s purely thinking of people and taking risks. -kd1004: Are all the rankers watching? watch and learn This is Noblesse Obli. -Yasuo Science: But is it possible to defeat the boss solo? - Nonsense Reader: If someone else had said something like that, I would have put a double insult, but looking at the achievements that that player has shown so far, I think that it might be really possible. -Song Ga-in confiscated for 2 weeks: ?j. Somehow, I feel confident. -Dimian Peter: Older brother. Reveal your face only once. Seriously, I''ll only upload the number of views of hyung''s video. -Hulk to Hulk: 222222 -Squirrel Thunder: 33333 Again, the reaction was as expected. A player in the topic that everyone was curious about wrapped in a veil. Since such a talented person confidently declared the boss attack, the atmosphere is bound to heat up. As if to support that statement, it had been a long time since the number of hitters flew through the roof into the sky. [Views: 50,536,988] Considering that non-tower residents can only watch the video once a day, the 50 million views was a shocking figure. If you give 100 coins for every 10,000 views, 50 million is 500,000 coins. There, I was able to get 50,000 coins because I took off 90% of it as a fee. ''If it wasn''t for the crazy provision of taking 90% of the commission, you''d be earning 500,000 coins... .'' I''m sorry, but I can''t help it. Because this was common to all players around the world. ''Still, 50,000 coins is enough to turn your eyes around.'' In Korea, there is nothing to compare. Even popular overseas rankers would not have been able to collect 10,000 coins, let alone 50,000. Even heavy users who upload videos every day only get hundreds to thousands of views per video. ''Let''s collect the coins well.'' Jinhyeok, who received the payment excluding the fee, stopped walking. While processing a number of tasks, he had arrived at his destination. The main gate of the Awakened Association. Cheon Yooseong was seen wearing a black suit. What''s that guy wearing today called Sparring? Hopefully, I''m not mistaken for a fighting ball and a dancing ball. While Jin-hyeok shook his head, Cheon Yoo-seong also found Jin-hyeok. You''re late. Cheon Yoosung raised one eye. His face was full of anger, as if he had waited for quite a long time. It''s late. We still have one minute left until our appointment. Jinhyuk shrugged. At the same time, he scanned the top and bottom of Cheonyuseong with his eyes. ''You''ve become much stronger than when we met at the ruins.'' A sharply sharpened aura. The body was also strengthened. Indeed, it is understandable that you want to try again. Since he has grown remarkably, he must have thought that he could win this time. However. Contrary to the wishes of Cheonyuseong, the gap was not narrowed in the slightest. On the contrary, it happened even more than then. ''I''m sorry, what should I do?'' Even if we spend the same time... . And even if you try to die the same way, the result does not change. Because the quality of the information they have between the two is so different. But right then. What is it? Were you the one who was shivering about what it was like to be heavenly? Did you sleep too much than you thought? A man with a muscle that seemed to explode to the point where he felt pity for his suit approached. A tattoo on a man''s neck. It''s a known tattoo. ''Oh.'' Jinhyuk let out a small exclamation. This is going to be a pretty interesting spectacle. CH 44 Sword''s Proposal (2) The Black Cloud Guild. It is one of the large-scale guilds aiming for the 3rd place after Korea''s 1st place ''Dangun'' and 2nd place ''Fighting Father'', which have already established their position. ''They are far from normal.'' The Black Fortune Guild has grown rapidly recently based on its very aggressive sales force, and in particular, the guild leader Hong Deok-pyo was rumored to be quite bad. It means bad guys. And this man also had a black cloud tattoo, the trademark of the Black Cloud Guild, on his neck. Are you an acquaintance? Jinhyuk asked Cheon Yoosung. I''ve heard about the name. A scout from the guild over there offered to join. Oh . With just one word, everything made sense. He showed interest in Cheon Yoo-seong in the guild that was giving him strength. Of course, this single-minded guy must have rejected the offer with a single blow. In any case, the swordsmanship that does not leave any room for boredom is good. The man asked again. Hey. You''re asking. Are you a celestial or something? Yeah, I''m a heavenly star. Yeah. You said to look for dark hair on the face of a parasitic brother, and you were right. I am Jeong Do-hyeon of the Black Cloud Guild. Jeong Do-hyun introduced himself. If it''s a guild offer, I''ve already told it to the scout. I know. I just heard about it. "Then, there is no need to talk anymore, is it?" That''s true, but it''s annoying that a new rookie with only AA grades rejects our guild''s offer. This time, I''m going to forcefully accept yes. "Are you you mean me?" Cheon Yu-seong''s eyebrows were curved in an inverted manner. Hey. It looks like there are some gangsters different from what it looks like. Jeong Do-hyeon also showed his teeth. In an instant, a faint life appeared between the two of them. Pants! Mana and mana collided and dust flew on the ground. hand moves towards the weapons on each other''s waists. right then Don''t overdo it, put the knife in. Surely, you''re not stupid enough to fight in front of the association, are you? Jinhyuk intervened. It''s this guy who quarreled first! Cheon Yu-seong protested, but it was only for a short time. It was because he knew well that the back office would be in trouble if he fought here. Chunkyung! ! In the end, Cheon Yuseong, who had his tongue stuck out, put in his half-drawn sword. On the other hand, Jeong Do-hyun blew Jin-hyuk up and down. It''s like valuing things. What else are you? what is it I''m the one who came to cheer for this guy because there''s a ball or something. Cheering? Not participating in the ball, but cheering? I didn''t get an invitation. Ha... If you can''t even get invitations, that means your grades are bad, right? It''s F. It''s my personal favorite alphabet. As Jinhyuk spoke calmly, Jeong Do-hyeon smirked as if it was ridiculous. Whoops! When the joint was released, the muscles that seemed to explode as if they were going to explode moved bizarrely. If I came to cheer, I would quietly crumple in the corner and clap my hands. Dare, an F-grade or something like that is blocking my way? If this was the inside of the tower instead of in front of the association, the spine would have been pulled out immediately. But let''s think about what''s going on behind the scenes and think of it as lightly breaking a limb or two. That was the compromise that Jeong Do-hyun thought of. But, the moment when you want to swing a fist loaded with mana. He''s my prey! Cheon Yu-seong, who was watching, shouted loudly. Sreung! The sword was drawn, and a dazzling sword light poured out. [Chean Yuseong activates Lv6 ''Soul Sword Ki (׷ꄦ)''!] "It will be right away." As if Jeong Do-hyun had been waiting, he turned to Cheon Yu-seong. A blue light flashed from both fists. It was an enhanced skill that could turn even rocks into powder with one blow. I''ll smash that chopstick-like sword with one shot! And that''s it. It was the last scene that Jeong Do-hyun remembered. kuuung! A huge body that reached 2 meters collapsed. Since the handle of the dagger dug into the temple, of course, consciousness was blown away. It''s a little quieter now. Jinhyuk retrieved the dagger with a light hand gesture. And. " " Cheon Yoo-seong, who watched the scene, shut his mouth tightly. Then soon, with a complicated expression on her face, she threw away the mana she had been pulling up. The Sword Qi attached to the sword disappeared. ''Just that move... .'' No matter how vigilant the opponent is, he hits the vital point in such a short time. Since it was so fast, I lost sight of it even though I was concentrating on it. Jeong Do-hyeon would not have even been aware of what had happened to him. ''Damn it.'' Cheon Yoosung clenched his fists. After parting from the ruins. He focused only on getting stronger without resting for a minute or a second. I went into a labyrinth that extended a day to a month and practiced like crazy. Facing numerous monsters, he continued to overcome the limits. nevertheless. why the hell ''Don''t you think that the gap between you and him has narrowed a bit?'' It''s impossible. No, it shouldn''t happen. But no matter how many times I repeat it... . I just couldn''t think of the number of cases where I could respond to a surprise attack. What are you doing blankly? You have to go inside before anyone sees you? You don''t even have time? Yes. Cheon Yoosung took a heavy step forward. Awakened Association 13th floor training center. The entire floor is made of magic crystals and special alloys that absorb mana, so it is a place where players can run wildly. Kang! Kaang! Kaka Kaka Kaka! The blades crossed, and a sharp sound of iron resounded. A battle royale method with a total of 24 players. Because of this, the stadium was full of all kinds of unique abilities and skills. "Haha, Park hyung. Why does it seem that your body is more dull than before you woke up? Isn''t it too dependent on your abilities?" I''m still warming up, son. I''ll do it properly from now on, so don''t be nervous. If you don''t want to meet the healer aunt on the 5th floor. Is it because only players with high ratings are collected? Most of them had one-on-one relationships with each other. They say they''re running around It was because he had connections with strong people. Of course, that doesn''t mean I''m watching or watching. I just ruled out the herbicide to the last. With pride and honor at stake, everyone did their best in every moment. same time. Even in the audience, rankers of each guild and officials from broadcasting stations were watching the game with interest. "The game is quite high-level." Yes. I think the public will be satisfied with this. However, it''s a temporary measure and we''ll have to break through the third floor soon. Several voices came and went. Most of it was a story for the future of mankind. But not everyone was like that. No matter whether it is the future of mankind or Nabal, there were some who prioritized only inflating the guild''s power right now. People sitting in the center of the audience looked at the prospects with hawk eyes. Hong Deok-pyo, the only S-class and Master of the Black Cloud Guild currently here. And they were scouts from the Black Cloud Guild who followed him. The duo over there seems to be quite usable. A scout pointed to an old man who wields a flame and a young woman who wielded a summons. A woman is in charge of defense using a summoned beast, and as soon as there is a gap, an old man''s flame presses the opponent. It is a perfect connection that seems to have been put together for a long time. However, Hong Deok-pyo passed the scout''s words over his ears. It was because he had already lost his gaze to one player. Right to Cheon Yoosung. '' That''s great.'' Slim but strong physique. The energy that had been captured to such an extent that the word "cold" came out by itself, and even those who saw it from afar could feel it. ''It seems that there are many loopholes in the awakening test.'' There''s no way that''s only AA rating. No matter how small the catch, you should not put it in the category ''A''. It''s because Hong Deok-pyo himself has already exclaimed several times with the sword he wields as he roams the endless competition hall. I can understand that you failed to recruit. Ah, HyungNim. You''re very serious about that. Originally, I was able to subdue it, but what kind of bug hit the back of the head? Jeong Do-hyun was furious. "Are you a Ta-ryeong, who knows if he''s an F-class or something?" Wait, you don''t believe me? How can you believe that you failed just because of such an intruder? Haha. It''s frustrating, really. If you''d rather have me play over there, I''d have cleaned up all the trash and put Cheon Yu-seong on my knees...! Write! Is it time for you to start a match? Pay attention to the interview that''s coming up a little bit later. The reason Jeong Do-hyeon did not participate in the prom was saved because of the press conference after the prom. Among those who awaken, one in 500,000 AAA ratings. Considering the growth rate of the Tower of Trials in the past, Jeong Do-hyeon had the talent to rise to the rank of S-class within the next three years. And if it is known that you have hired such a prospect... . The guild''s status is inevitably raised as well. I spent a lot of money preparing for this job. You know? Don''t worry. I''ll kill you as much as the screen feet. Jeong Do-hyeon smiled ssiik with a puffy face in her dream. A place not far from the Black Cloud Guild. Jinhyuk, who was watching the game, yawned slightly. what is this... It''s not a kid''s joke. Even if it is a friendly match where you do not risk your life, the level is too low. By the way, isn''t the only fresh thing about meeting Min Jung-woo and Lee Yu-ri at the National Museum of Korea? ''It''s nice to see you after a while.'' The two of them seemed to have gotten quite a bit of stimulation back then, so their skills had improved considerably. However, the rest made me want to ask what they did after the Tower of Trials appeared. Well, the reaction of those around me was too favorable to just swear. At this level, the future is bright enough to talk about. It''s very cumbersome. Am I supposed to say that a gag at this level can make even a fat-looking Alice laugh all day long? ''Damn, if this happens, Cheon Yu-seong''s victory will be certain.'' Jinhyuk looked at Cheon Yooseong, who was running wild even at this moment, and sighed a little. I was going to easily grab the invitation, but looking at the atmosphere, it didn''t seem like that would happen at all. Even if the players on the playing field all work together to attack. Because I wouldn''t be able to inflict a single wound on Cheonyuseong''s skin And to support that idea. Cheon Yu-seong started to overpower the players in an instant. Ouch! Ugh... Players who suffered large or small injuries passed out or surrendered. It is an overwhelming skill car. Most of them did not even dare to read the traces of the sword. Even if I read it, I couldn''t get 3 go. In the end, 15 minutes after the match started, all players except Cheon Yuseong were knocked down. Ooh, here''s the winner. The association staff stammered and opened their mouth. match! match! match! match! Immediately, thunderous applause poured out. It was proof that the officials of the guild who were in the audience were also deeply impressed with this showdown. Congratulations, player Cheon Yu-seong. Then, one of the two rewards is a replica and... I don''t need a replica. All I want is to point out an opponent. Cheon Yu-seong interrupted the employee. Once again, the audience roared. ''indeed. They say you want a fight with a strong person rather than an item... .'' ''That''s great. It would be great if you brought it from our guild.'' ''Who the hell wants to fight that sword spirit so much?'' ''It must be one of the masters of the guild.'' everyone thought If such a strong monster is the opponent you want to fight against, it must be Korea''s top ranker. Is it Dangun, who doesn''t come here, or the Master of the Brawler''s Guild? Or is it the senior Yu Chun-young of the Yu family, who has long been known as the pinnacle of Korean martial arts? Or from the mercenaries who are not affiliated with the guild? Just when all sorts of speculations are rampant. Come out. The tip of Cheon Yu-seong''s sword pointed at a man in the audience. CH 45 Sword''s Proposal (3) Yeah! The sea you''ve been waiting for! Of course we have to win! It was Jeong Do-hyun who jumped up from his seat. He thought that he must have been pointed out because of what he had done in front of the association. OK. You idiot. I didn''t point out you. Hong Deok-pyo, who was next to him, grabbed Jeong Do-hyun''s wrist and pulled him to sit. Yes? HyungNim? Jeong Do-hyun asked a question, but Hong Deok-pyo did not answer. Instead, he stared at Cheonyuseong with an excited face. ''Yeah, if you have that level of skill, you''d want to fight a strong guy.'' understand it Because he, too, was always thrilled to fight against the strong. ''I like it more and more.'' When I first heard the rating of Cheon Yu-seong, I thought it was a chess horse I wanted to own. And when I saw the dance that Jeong Do-hyeon showed me at the training center after failing, I thought that he would grant me whatever conditions I wanted. However. It was only when he saw the actions Cheon Yoosung was showing that he became convinced. That you have to do anything to get that guy. Also, if you can''t get it while you''re alive, even if you kill it, you''ll have it. I''m going to relax my body once in a while. Hong Deok-pyo took off his suit. His toned muscles were exposed through the white shirt. By the way. Cheon Yu-seong still had his sword raised and didn''t even move. what? The moment I thought so. Hong Deok-pyo''s eyes narrowed. no way ? Upon closer inspection, the direction the tip of the sword was facing was slightly different. Neither Jeong Do-hyun nor himself, a little more right. There sat a man with an annoyed expression on his face. Whoa. The man let out a long sigh and got up from his seat with difficulty. At the same time, Cheon Yuseong lowered his sword. It was acknowledged in front of everyone. about who you want your opponent to be. What, what? Not CEO Hong. You pointed out someone else? Who is it? It''s a face I don''t know... Take a look at the database right now! A huge commotion arose. Guild officials urgently tried to find information about the target. At least if it was inside the association building, it meant that at least I had passed the awakening test. Of course, there will be information about him as well. [player Jinhyuk Kang, Rank F] After a while, I was able to check the profile of the man. It''s ridiculous. F-class? "Wait, you mean you''re naming an F-class right now?" I didn''t see it like that, my friend. Did you have any hobby of bullying weak people? The commotion grew louder. Something that doesn''t make sense in common sense has happened, so it has to be. Just then, Jeong Do-hyeon shouted loudly. Tongue, HyungNim. That''s him! It''s that guy who hit the back of my head! what? Didn''t you say that there was a guy with Cheon Yoo-seong before? It must be the kid who came to support him. Is that guy...? Hong Deok-pyo looked at Jin-hyuk. Jinhyuk glanced at Hong Deokpyo. eyes met. I don''t know why Cheon Yoo-seong pointed you out, but if you can figure out the subject, reject it. This is not the place for you. A cold but realistic word. People around them also agreed with Hong Deok-pyo. Yeah. Sparring has to be at the right level. It''ll be over in less than a second. I''ll be happy if it ends safely? If the sword gets even a little bit of power, the F-class will be cut in two? "Well, no matter how much a match, an accident can happen." If you''re lucky, you''ll get serious injuries. Without even a little luck, you will become paralyzed or die. That was the common thought of everyone here. But despite heartfelt advice. Jinhyuk began to slowly move towards the bottom of the match. Whoa. With a face full of annoyance. The arena was equipped with various types of weapons. Jinhyuk picked up a long sword lying on the floor. It was light in weight and well balanced. Even if it''s popular. Please, I beg you, if you lose again this time, stop attacking. No, seriously. I''d really appreciate it if you gave up slowly. You''re talking as if I''m going to lose. Are you saying that even after watching a fight? Um. It seems that my skills have definitely improved. Have you been training hard? The muscles were also quite tight. How many are three generations? I want to ask you what supplements you take. I''m sure he wasn''t on steroids, was he? Is that your only impression? Ah. I also thought that receiving an invitation would be such a hassle. " " Cheon Yu-seong''s face was wrinkled. At the same time, the concentration of mana in the gum changed. Pants! [Chean Yuseong activates Lv6 ''Soul Sword Ki (׷ꄦ)''!] A cloud so blue that it makes my eyes shiver. The typified ki and the life that has been continuously suppressed has merged into one. Jerrit! Jerrit! Jinhyuk''s skin felt a strong sense of pressure as well. ''What I showed in the match was that I saved my strength.'' It''s like you''re releasing all at once what you''ve been putting up with for this moment. "Everything is good, but this is a friendly match right?" Does the atmosphere feel like you''re in the Colosseum? The rule is to fight until one of them dies. If you want to get an invitation, you''ll have to fight properly. Cheon Yu-seong took a stance with his sword extended in front of him. Move your right foot and lower your center of gravity. I plan to close the distance at once. Kukuku! The ground made of magic stone began to tremble violently. Three, my God... I''m seriously thinking of doing that! Damn. Call the guards! I''m really going to kill you! Those who watched screamed. Cheon Yu-seong, who knew how to put things in his hands, spewed out an unstoppable life. But, right then. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A new mana wrapped around the entire arena. A mana that cannot even be compared with the heavenly nature. A black energy that was not ominous and even ugly appeared. [The unique ability ''Sword Graveyard'' is activated!] KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! It was not enough to completely cover the long sword, and the air was shaken by the sword that soared more than 1m. Huh? Hey, it''s Geomgang! Crazy. What kind of F-class uses a sword? It was not forcibly brought up, but it was completed. Even in the world, there are only a handful of players who can use this level of swordsmanship. It was only natural that there was a reaction close to astonishment. Even Hong Deok-pyo stood up with his eyes wide open. What the hell is this... Even the guards who were trying to dry. ...but I can''t believe it. The guild officials who were watching. They all swallowed dry saliva. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart was beating fast. perhaps. Thinking that seeing this match could be a new turning point in their lives. In the heated atmosphere, Jinhyuk asked. Do you think Sword Qi is enough? You must have forgotten what you did at the ruins? Overcoming the hierarchical relationship of abilities is by no means an easy task. Especially when it comes to swords. Obviously, my Sword Qi can''t stand your sword. However. If it''s something similar to that, I can make it. Moment, Pants... ! Another Sword Qi is overlaid on top of Sword Qi. once. twice so seven times. As if wearing multiple layers of armor, the layered Sword Qi has a single older brother. ''Oh.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. Surely, if applied in that way, even against Geomgang, it could last for a while. Although mana and stamina consumption would be huge. ''Rather than procrastinating the fight, I''m going to try to win a short-term match.'' Perhaps three minutes or more, no matter how natural, he would not be able to endure. But I couldn''t pass the time by just avoiding it. Jinhyuk''s eyes turned to the long sword he held in his hand. I could already see the blade starting to crack. yea that''s the way it is The regular swords spread out in the arena could not withstand the sword. If you only fight with a dagger, some people might recognize you as Unknown, so I chose this on purpose... . Thanks to this, the lack of time became the same situation. Goes! The first move was Cheonyuseong. kwaang! A speed that kicks the ground and narrows it down to the shortest distance. The sword, which exploded in the foot position, aimed at Jinhyuk''s neck. Jinhyuk took the sword head-on. Aww! Just two knives collided. However, there was a strong wind due to the gust of sword pressure. fast. and it''s scary bang! kwaang! kwaang! A series of siege battles unfolding. Yuseong Cheon unfolded the Basic Form so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye. Jinhyuk resisted every attack that came like a storm. A flash of light flashed, and numerous fireworks were scattered in the air. Kukuku! mana runs rampant A stadium made of magic stone could not stand it. Hwiyu. That. It''s terribly scary. I almost got blisters on my palms. So, is it over now? "It hasn''t even started yet." The sword of Cheon Yu-seong suddenly turned red. ''Chuhon Sword Dance (׷ꄦ)''. The stacked Sword Qi were split in different directions. The second formula (ڶ formula)''. The blazing dread quickly burned so fiercely that it covered the entire stadium. Autumn Festival (׷׵)! This is the second sword of the Soul Sword. The power to burn all enemies in front of you. It is a ''half-inflammation drug''. hot and I could feel the heat on Jinhyuk''s face. ''This child is also really talented.'' You can already use up to the second form of the Soul Sword. Of course, it didn''t reach perfection, but being able to use the intricately elusive fragment of the Soul Sword was a tremendous talent. Whoops! Seven red petals bloomed. This is dangerous. Jinhyuk was instinctively convinced. You must never take this attack head-on. if so . Jinhyuk dismantled ''The Tomb of the Sword''. Then, he poured the mana he used for swordplay into activating new skills. [''Ice Sculpting'' is activated!] Countless ice powder made a rectangular shield. Cheon Yoosung''s eyebrows twitched. I felt like I was embarrassed by the skill I didn''t expect. But it was only for a short time. ''No matter what happens, I''m never surprised. Never this time!'' Cheon Yu-seong, who regained his composure, swung the flower petals in full bloom. Whoops! Ice and fire collided head-on. complete polarization. However, the perfection of skill was definitely superior to the natural Yuseong. ''done!'' Cheon Yoo-seong smiled with a smile of conversion. There was a huge amount of water vapor gushing out, so I couldn''t see it with my own eyes... . The heavy taste of the ice shield breaking was clearly felt. By the way. ...!? The moment when you are certain of victory. [''Daylight'' is activated!] A ray of light flickered through the water vapor. It is not a skill of the ice type attribute. Another attribute of skill is about to be activated. Cuckoo! Cheon Yoosung took a deep breath. Never this time... I swore I''d never be surprised. At the scene that followed, Cheon Yu-seong had no choice but to despair again. [Cheon Yuseong unfolds Lv6 ''Sword Screen''!] Defensive skill that unfolds reflexively. At the same time. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The light that traversed in a straight line penetrated the Magic Stone and even pierced the outer walls of the stadium. Chi profit! Ugh... ugh. Cheon Yu-seong''s body shook violently. Smoke rising from the body. Because the power was controlled, it was not to the extent that life was affected. It didn''t make sense to get an anti-military skill no matter how much you spread your sword. How many alternative skills do you have...? words barely spoken. with him. thud! Cheon Yu-seong lost his balance and fell. CH 46 press conference (1) The entire stadium was engulfed in silence. It was because everyone was at a loss for words due to the unexpected result. " " " " The people here had to be surprised twice in total. The first was because of Cheon Yoo-seong''s ability to crush players of the same rank. Second, it was because of the monster that he couldn''t defeat even though he had done his best. Truly overwhelming power. The fluff caused by the tremor was still standing on its own. How many minutes have passed? It was someone''s word that broke the eternal silence. To be precise, it was an elastic close to an insult. What a crazy...! I couldn''t help but swear. Because all of this was a situation that completely broke common sense. Stop, you will only spit out the truth inside. Then the rest of the people opened their mouths as if they were waiting. Look, did you see it? My eyes almost popped out with just the sword, but did you use magic-based skills? That''s not the level I learned as an assistant. You just smashed that white, magic stone-made protective wall and pierced the outer wall! Is it a human right? It''s more plausible that the boss monster from the upper floor jumped out, right? I still can''t believe it. Damn it. Is this a dream or reality... in a chaotic atmosphere. Jinhyuk approached the two people right next to the stadium. long time no see? Jinhyuk smiled brightly. ...that''s right. It''s the first time I''ve seen you at the museum. Ah... Min Jung-woo and Lee Yu-ri flinched. It was because of the memories of being thoroughly trampled on at the National Museum of Korea. Actually, the first start was a bit bloody, but you can''t stay stuck in the past forever, can you? Hmm. I also don''t want to lose the Chuck with you. To be honest, I don''t think I''ll ever be able to survive if I met an enemy. Me, me too. The two nodded their heads. Then, in the sense of getting better in the future, I would like to ask you one thing. If possible, I would like Summoner Lee Yu-ri to work hard. What? Please? Yes. It doesn''t matter if you listen or refuse. If that''s the case... sure. Jinhyuk''s eyes widened even more. If you''re thinking of putting it in the toilet and throwing it away, like in the future, you can say no. ...! Yuri''s eyebrows trembled. That''s fine, it''s a request with options. If you refuse, you never know what will happen when. If it''s something I can do... no, I''ll definitely listen to it no matter what. thank you. Jinhyuk told Yuri what she needed. A task that must be determined in order to attack the boss. At the same time, it was an item that could be prepared much more easily if Lee Yu-ri was a summoner. How long can I prepare? The day after tomorrow. Please send everything to this address by then. Hey, you want me to do so many things in two days? Why can''t you? No, no. You can do it, if you do. Lee Yu-ri was crying and took the note that Jin-hyuk had handed her. Then, please. It was when Jinhyuk, who lightly greeted him, was about to leave. ''This ?'' Jinhyuk reflexively turned his head. Something caught my senses. It''s up! kuuung! A man in the audience jumped off. Huge size and muscular body. It was Jeong Do-hyun whom I met in front of the association. This is really surprising. The guy I thought was a cheerleader would have this much power. If you''re arguing, I found the wrong number, but it seems like my body is completely relaxed and I can''t control my strength. Jinhyuk sighed softly. At the same time, I peered into the status window of the other party through the ''eyes of truth''. Name: Jeong Do-hyeon Gender: Male Age: 33 Level: 21 Strength 40 Dexterity 17 Stamina 18 mana 8 Stat Points you have: 0 Coins held: 8,535 Occupation: Engineer Unique Ability: Giant''s Power skill: Lv5 ''Giant''s Grasp'', Lv5 ''Giant''s Shield'', Lv5 ''Slow Pain'', Lv5 ''Deep breath'', Lv4 ''Despise the weak'' [Copy Conditions: The current subject approached you with a conspiracy to do something. If you understand what the intention is, you can copy the ''Giant''s Grasp'' among the skills the target has.] Kung kong? Does that mean it''s not just for arguing? No, rather than that, how does the system know about Jeong Do-hyun''s intentions? Jinhyuk frowned at the different copying conditions from before. But it was only for a short time. Unraveling the secrets about the Tower of Trials is only for later. This is because there was no time to worry about problems that did not have an answer if you had to think about it right now. Wow. Don''t stare at me like that. I''m not doing this to fight. Jeong Do-hyeon raised both palms toward Jin-hyuk, who was exhaling flesh. As if he had no intention to fight. Then, why bother people? "I thought we would see each other more often I just wanted to say please take good care of me." Do-hyeon Jeong, who was shaking too much, asked for a handshake. However, Jinhyuk did not hold hands. Are you saying goodbye to me now? It can''t be. Such a gentlemanly attitude change is not possible for a person who only knows how to look down on others. As the system says, there must be other reasons. Jinhyuk''s head began to spin rapidly. Although it was inferior compared to Cheonyuseong. Jeong Do-hyeon also belonged to a fairly strong axis compared to the same rank. But, why didn''t he come to the ball? And, unlike other large guilds, why did the guild master Hong Deok-pyo come here? ''It must be because there is a reason to come here.'' I didn''t know exactly what it was, but it must have been important. Jinhyuk looked at Jeong Do-hyun. Behind the face that pretended to be calm, I could see a mixture of inferiority and anger. He never came down to make friends. rather. It must have come to show off something that only you can do. the act of shaking hands. Jeong Do-hyeon''s unique ability is ''the power of a giant''. A player that was saved without being sent to the prom. A guild master who is anxious for the growth of the guild. Clues and clues are combined. And finally. Something flashed through Jinhyuk''s head like lightning. ''Yes. Reporters are here.'' He was afraid that a rookie who appeared out of nowhere would steal the spotlight, so he sent Jeong Do-hyun. Even if it''s a battle. As far as grip power simply using force is, Jeong Do-hyeon will have a far superiority. A large rookie who has been receiving everyone''s attention suffers from being pushed by physical strength? You will be able to lower your image and increase your own value at the same time. exactly. Not a bad way. ''If only I wasn''t the other person.'' That was then. T-tiring! T-tiring! T-tiring! As if to prove Jinhyuk''s hypothesis is correct. A status window appears one after another to inform you that the copy condition has been achieved. [The condition has been met.] [You have acquired the skill ''Giant''s Grasp (B)''!] [Giant''s Grasp] Acquisition Difficulty: B Description: You will be able to use the power of the giant, a large monster. In particular, the grip strength increases dramatically, and you can freely use items up to 10 times your body weight. I knew it. The prediction was correct. ''It must have been a plan like that.'' This is what makes things fun. Jinhyuk smiled all over his face, and this time he used the unique ability he had obtained from the basement. [The unique ability ''Judgment of Anubis'' is activated!] huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo air that vibrates slightly. If the user asks three questions and the subject answers the three questions, then the condition is satisfied. Are you doing this handshake on behalf of the entire Black Cloud guild? Jinhyuk asked the first ''question''. Of course. Deok-pyo HyungNim is also interested in you. It seems that there are no guilds, but if you join us, they will give you special treatment. Special treatment... . You''re good at talking shit you don''t even want. Knowing the intentions clearly, every word of this sounded disgusting. However, it was not expressed. Because the answer to the question is not over yet. "Actually, I need a quick payment, but if I sign up for it, they give me a lot of down payment? Why. Fuhaha! Well, isn''t that a natural thing? Just tell me the amount and I''ll give it to you. second with this. This is why the judgment of Anubis is fraudulent. Because the condition was met even with a trivial question. Most of all, I liked the fact that the opponent did not even recognize that this skill was being activated, unless the person was extremely sensitive. All you have to do is give it a moderate amount of time so as not to provoke the Egyptians and write it down. I''ll give it some serious thought. Jinhyuk reached out to Jeong Do-hyun. like that. The two hands met. ''Caught!'' A fishy smile hung on Jeong Do-hyun''s lips. Finally, the opponent will bite the bait. ''No matter how good swordsmanship and magic are, pure power is bound to be weak.'' If you hit your opponent with this and hold a press conference, you could create the best results. At that moment, the reporters who saw the two shaking hands began to approach little by little. with camera and smartphone. All eyes were focused on the two of them. Who is it? If you look at the pattern, it looks like a player belonging to the Black Fortune Guild? Oh! It seems like you''re thinking of recruiting that player before the other guilds. I''ll be able to catch this scoop properly. It''s a meeting between a large guild and a promising prospect... This is just a top-notch article. ''Perfect timing!'' [Do Hyun Jeong activates Lv5 ''Giant''s Grasp''!] Jeong Do-hyeon''s forearms expanded rapidly. The power of a giant that can crush even steel has been reproduced through human hands. By the way. uh? The face of the opponent, who had to be distorted by pain, was so calm. burr The hands holding each other trembled violently. It was a symptom that appeared when the balance of power was kept tight. Unbelievable . ''Are you saying that even my strength is on par with me? That''s absurd. Because I''ve never heard of a Treasured Sword like an all-round player who''s perfect in every field. However, no matter how much force was squeezed, the balance was not broken. It was as if he had used the same abilities as himself. at that time. Last question. Jinhyuk licked his lips slowly. Big! Crab. What are you asking? Jeong Do-hyun, whose face turned red, managed to answer. Did you think that if it was simply strength, you would have the upper hand? That''s right! Gagging with a poor guy like you and me...? The moment when Jeong Do-hyun answered the question. Suddenly, the tight balance of power collapsed. Has your opponent become stronger? no. That''s not it. Weakened... . ''Is it me?'' It was hard to believe, but the unique abilities as well as the skills were all sealed. Ududuk! The pressure on my hands began to exceed the limit I could tolerate. broken At this rate, all of my fingers would have froze for sure. "Let go let go. Let go of this!" Huh? Why? Does it hurt? Jinhyuk smirked. Aww! Don''t be shy. It looks like you''re pretty confident in your strength, but you can''t do that because you''re distracted by your size. Stop it, maaaan! In the end, Jeong Do-hyeon twisted his whole body and knelt down on one knee. The thought of having to play with my first opponent had long since disappeared. My mind was full of thoughts of getting out of this terrible pain. Whoops! Jeong Do-hyun unconsciously swung his fist. It was more of a struggle to survive than a counterattack. sure. A clumsy attack like that wouldn''t work. Jin-hyuk looked at Jeong Do-hyun''s fist that was stuck in his stomach. " " end with that kwaang! A fist raised like lightning pierced Jeong Do-hyun''s abdomen. Kuweeeek! A body that was completely broken by a giyeok. Vomiting with blood was a natural result. However, Jinhyuk did not stop there. It was because he was planning to trample it properly even to show it to Hong Deok-pyo. But right then. Pants... ! Strange mana interrupted. CH 47 press conference (2) ''behind !'' It''s a ranged attack! Jinhyuk reflexively moved his body. A red flash of light flashed. Aww! A huge creator appeared in the place where Jinhyuk was up until a second ago. Dare you make Dohyun a rag? Do you even know how much effort I put into this day? It was Hong Deok-pyo, who was in the audience, who shouted. My cherished brother, who should be the hero of the day, has lost his hidden card, so his billionaires are bound to collapse. Hong Deok-pyo, who had turned white because his face was not red, sharpened his molars. At the same time, a terrifying energy emanated from Hong Deok-pyo''s body. kukukuku! mana that shakes the entire floor. hoo. After all, S-class is S-class, right? However, unlike other guys, mana management is quite good. There''s definitely less useless waste. Although he still lacks a sense of humor, he seemed to be able to grow to a level that could be used for about three years. Jinhyuk once again activated the ''eyes of truth''. Name: Hong Deok-pyo Gender: Male Age: 41 Level: 34 Strength 38 Dexterity 33 Stamina 20 mana 15 Stat Points you have: 1 Coins held: 25,850 Occupation: Berserker Unique Ability: Blood Magic skill: Lv5 ''Berserk(񱩻)'', Lv5 ''blood clotting'', Lv4 ''body strengthening'', Lv4 ''identification of enemy'', Lv4 ''beheading'' [Copy condition: Take away what Hong Deok-pyo values most. If you do, you can copy the target''s unique abilities.] After reading the copying conditions, Jinhyuk felt his heart beating fast. pounding! pounding! pounding! Yes, I got fusion in this taste. Because I was able to use the abilities that other people had worked so hard to get. ''It''s the most precious thing... .'' That''s obvious. I already knew the answer. Jinhyuk opened his mouth again. I understand that you''re angry, but can''t you just put up with the fight? Why. Are you even scared now? No, I''m afraid that if someone who becomes a guild master gets smashed in front of so many people, I''ll be offended. Hey, what a fucking bastard! I''m going to chew it to the bone! Hong Deok-pyo kicked the crowd. kwaang! All the chairs were smashed, and the distance with Jinhyuk was narrowed at once. I could see the red energy swirling around the 2m long sword. It is different from the sword. It''s called blood magic (Ѫħ). A heterogeneous power using blood spurted out. [The unique ability ''Sword Graveyard'' is activated!] Jinhyuk also injected mana into his sword. Pants! A black river gushed out. I lowered the center of gravity and gave strength to both feet. And at that very moment. Aww! Two energies collided. Dark-red sparks bounced in all directions. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! In the runaway mana, the ground began to crack like a tortoise shell. Oooh! Of course. Hong CEO. This mana. Just looking at it from afar gives me chills. Look at the aura of the sword. I''ve only seen it on video. Who knew I''d see it in real life? The reporters shouted in unison. However, as the battle continued, a strange sense of incongruity was felt. Something is strange. It was a female reporter who realized the strange thing. "When I see CEO Hong even using the blood magic device, I don''t see him at all . How is that man holding up?" to a short question. The rest of the reporters also woke up one by one. It really is. Even though Hong Deok-pyo even used his trademark skill, they fight equally. Is that so? I was so lost, I forgot, is it true? Oh my gosh. I knew it was great, but is it even on par with an S-class? In their eyes, Jin-hyuk seemed to have similar skills to Hong Deok-pyo. sure. The reality was not equal. At least the people who shared the sword were in a state of mixed joy due to this one battle. Wow! Hong Deok-pyo frowned. It was because they were pushed back in the first battle to judge each other''s skills. also unilaterally. ''no way . You mean stronger than me?'' Such nonsense. Reid who stopped the breath of the monster ''Colossus'' on the 2nd floor of the Tower of Trials. That he, who was proudly in charge of the right wing of the first camp there, was pushed aside by the rookie Hana, who only received an F-class judgment? It''s impossible. But. The sharp pain in the shoulder and wrist was proving who was stronger and weaker. Isn''t it hard already? If it''s really hard, can I put some paste on it? Jinhyuk fixed his sword with light hand movements. "Laugh don''t cringe. I haven''t even brought out the skills I''ve seen yet." How come your voice doesn''t seem to tremble when you say it like that? " " Hong Deok-pyo closed his lips tightly. This is because, no matter how strong you try, you know better than anyone what the outcome will be in the end if you continue this fight. However, even if he curls his tail here, he will be put to shame in front of everyone watching. This is a situation that cannot be done. right then kkiiik! The door that had blocked the stadium and the outside was opened. [Han Sang-jin activates Lv4 ''arbitration''!] The power to calm excitement and evoke the surroundings. It was the skill possessed by Han Sang-jin, the president of the Korea Awakened Association. I''m the president of the association! What? Do you know that the gentleman doesn''t attend outside events for the most part? Really! Look over there! At the entrance, a middle-aged man and staff in black suits appeared. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. ''Is this the person who leads the awakened people in Korea?'' A middle-aged man with a sharp beard. This time, it''s not a fake made by magicians. Because it was completely different from the atmosphere where I felt responsible. President Sang-Jin Han! Welcome to our guild. Iza has turned a player belonging to our guild into a rag! An AAA-rated prospect! Hong Deok-pyo shouted as if he was waiting. However, Han Sang-jin responded to Hong Deok-pyo''s complaint with a broad smile. Haha. Well, it can happen during a match. Please understand, CEO Hong. Yes? It''s not even a local elementary school competition. Isn''t it natural for an injury? Oh, I''m a little busier than that, so I''ll excuse you for a moment. Come on, wait a minute...! Hong Deok-pyo shouted something, but Han Sang-jin ignored it and went straight to Jin-hyuk. Nice to meet you, player Jinhyuk Kang. My name is Sangjin Han, who is in charge of the Korea Awakened Association. Do you know me? Actually, I didn''t know anything about player Jinhyuk Kang until 20 minutes ago. But I got a call from Manager Park, who was in charge of the ball. I had to come and see him in person. Of course, since there was a riot, the news must have been delivered to Han Sang-jin as well. Unexpected surprises happened one after another. So we did an investigation on our side... In the past, we were able to check information about player Jinhyuk Kang''s rating. What do you mean? There''s something special about it. Han Sang-jin continued to speak. OK. Reporters around them swallowed dry saliva. Finally, the reason why Jinhyeok, who was ranked F, was so strong is about to be revealed. Congratulations on receiving Korea''s 16th S-class rating. And I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for receiving the wrong rating due to our mistake. Never a long conversation. However, what it contained was shocking. Huh!? S! ...S-class? Is that person''s grade S? Oh my gosh... I''m sure we''ll see a new S-Class here. It''s only natural that A-class players couldn''t even make a sound. Because of this, they were no match at all. In an instant, the reporters dropped their cameras and almost screamed. yea that''s the way it is So far, more than 7 million people have taken the awakening test in Korea. It was the result of fully operating the headquarters of the Awakened Association, as well as 32 branches scattered across the country. Among them, only 15 were S-class. Moreover, considering that most of the people who took the test are young people in their 20s and 40s, in fact, almost all of the large-scale rookies that could come out of Korea have come out. chwachwachwa chow chow! The camera flash went off like crazy. Take a quick picture! Jinhyuk Kang. That''s right, Jinhyuk Kang. I heard it from the president of the association right now! Send the article out quickly. I''ll tell you the details later. Launch the article first! Call all the people in the press conference room upstairs. What? Interview with the newcomer of the Black Cloud Guild? Hey, you bastard! Is that important now? S-class is out! Throw away your change of pants and come out now! All attention was poured on Jinhyuk at once. With cheers and applause, everyone in the ballroom celebrated the birth of the new S-Class. "Hey, this what kind of dog is this " Hong Deok-pyo with a rotten expression. Cool ... gagging! Kkeek! Keek! Except for Jeong Do-hyun, who still recalls what''s inside. ''Damn it. We have to rectify this situation somehow.'' Hong Deok-pyo wiped the sweat from his forehead. It felt like pouring boiling molten iron into my throat, but I had to grab a straw. Come on, wait a minute! Reporters! Actually, our Black Cloud Guild has prepared something for the tower attack this time, and I can tell you in advance with a special taste...! Oh, I''m sorry. I''ll come back for an interview next time. I''ll listen to it then. I always support you, Mr. Hong. And what is it? A promising player? Anyway, what are you doing, player? AAA rating is good. Amyo. "That haha. Next time, I''ll clean up the vomit a little. I have a weak stomach." Even the few reporters left rushed towards Jinhyuk. After three hours, a lot had changed. [Korea''s 16th S-Class Appearance] [Extra large rookie, the president of the association comes directly to inform the result] [Love calls pouring in from a large guild. What is the next move of Jinhyuk Kang?] Amidst the bad news bursting out one after another, maybe it''s thanks to the hot wind? The media was also covered in stories about Jinhyuk. Well, it''s not a bad feeling. Most of all, I liked the fact that the S-class announcement was made at the exact timing I wanted. ''By the way, who else posted this?'' Jinhyuk laughed more at the video uploaded by someone he didn''t know. [True education site for prospective prospects who were ignorant of S-class] This is the very video where Jeong Do-hyun was properly smashed while flirting. Ironically, the number of views of this video recorded almost the same number as the video in which the S-class was announced. -Illumination: But isn''t it a little bit like vomiting after being hit by a single hit? My job is also a power worker. -pplmost124: ???. To be honest, if you are a Korean soldier, you can tolerate being hit in the stomach by a fist. That''s Oba - Wasabi flavored toothpaste: No. Seeing that, I told my sister to hit my stomach, but when I woke up, it was the next day. -I''m going to carry Yasuo. Secondary character: It''s possible that your younger sister is an S-class ranker hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. -Turtle ship port helmsman: ?j. Have me take the awakening test today. The reaction is hot. The Black Cloud Guild must have suffered a fatal injury to its image due to this incident. ''You reap what you sow, so it''s not for me to know.'' As long as the two people''s unique abilities and skills were copied, they didn''t care if the guild was destroyed or whatever. pooh... ! Jinhyuk buried his back in the soft chair. The corners of his lips naturally moved upward as he felt the soft touch of his whole body wrapped around him. also. First class is good. ''That''s why everyone was trying to get a high rank.'' Thanks to the special attention given to the association president Sang-jin Han, Jin-hyuk was able to use a free flight to Las Vegas, USA. It''s also a first class seat that costs over 10 million won one way. I also got an invitation to the black market from Cheon Yoo-seong, and I agreed to take care of the trivial matters that had to be handled in Korea with Lee Tae-min. All you have to do now is relax and focus on your work in America. But that was then. [The man in front of me Watch out.] Elise, who had been silent in the ring, spoke for the first time. CH 48 Black Market (1) Be careful. What do you mean? Jinhyuk lowered his voice. [That guy. It smells weird. Do I have to say it''s unpleasant and disgusting? Unlike you, it''s a scent I don''t want to eat even if I die of starvation.] I said something. Was it the smell of blood? What the hell does this guy think of him? A walking lunch box? Or a snack to eat when bored? Neither is normal. [Looking at his expression, I can understand roughly what he is imagining, but he is not joking, he is giving real advice. That man is by no means an ordinary person.] It''s a pretty serious voice. Hmm . Jinhyuk''s expression hardened slightly. Judging by what you have said so far, it''s probably not just a joke. I glanced ahead and saw a blonde, white man in a white suit. A young man who appears to be in his 20s. However, the slack that was naturally permeated into the body was to the point where I could feel my age in some way. Hahaha! It''s not a big deal. No, really! How the hell did you know? The man and the stewardess were chatting constantly about what was fun. ''On the surface, it looks like a young CEO or the second generation of a conglomerate... .'' Is it really, as Elise said, hiding something more? There is only one way to find out. Jinhyuk carefully activated the ''eyes of truth'' so that the opponent did not notice. Name: Alex Jude Law Gender: Male Age: 24 Level: 27 Strength 15 Dexterity 13 Stamina 15 mana 61 Stat Points you have: 0 Coins held: 0 Occupation: Necromancer Unique Ability: Forgotten Tombs skill: Lv5 ''Resurrection of the Dead'', Lv5 ''Contract of the Dead'', Lv5 ''mana Melting Furnace'', Lv4 ''Touch of the Dead'', Lv4 ''Interbreeding'' [Copy Condition: Depending on the intimacy with the target, you can copy one of the unique abilities and skills. However, to achieve the highest level of intimacy, you must join the ''Mine Association''.] May this be... ! An earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk''s pupil. Hopefully, that man must have been one of the demons. Was it all lies with the smirk? [Look. am i right? Even if my nose is the second in the Tower of Trials, it''s a masterpiece that would be embarrassing... .] Elise raised her voice saying she was good, but the ring was tucked into her pocket, so she couldn''t hear any more. This guy is useful, but his only downside is that he talks a lot. Knowing that she is still the queen is also a problem. That was then. Are you enjoying your trip comfortably? Kang Jinhyuk player? The flight attendant came over with a smile. Sometimes it was good It was an opportunity to ask for more information about Alex. Yes. Thanks. If you have any inconvenience, please let me know. Oh! I also brought some snacks, would you like some? I went out anyway, thank you. Jinhyuk was handed a sandwich with beef steak and a can of Blanc beer. Then, he hinted at the fortune about Alex. Looking at it, it seems that there are other people in the first class besides me. Are you an Awakened? Oh, you''re talking about Mr. Alex! When asked about Alex, the flight attendant replied with a smile. It seems like he''s been quite a fan of it. I''m an executive at a famous French cosmetics company. He came to Korea for work, and he said he was just going to the US today. Is that guy an executive at a cosmetics company? A necromancer who handles corpses is a job that doesn''t suit you at all. It''s fun. ''Perhaps it''s not a coincidence that he''s in first class with me.'' There is a high probability that the boarding was planned. And there is only one reason. It''s probably to re-cast the cast, which the duo had failed in the last time. ''By the way, I wonder how it will come out again this time.'' Since Cheon Yu-seong''s assassination quest failed, even the guys wouldn''t be able to approach it openly. They will either come with more attractive terms than they did back then, or they will slowly build a crush on him and try to embrace him. Jinhyuk slowly folded his arms. As long as I knew the other person''s purpose in advance, the ending of this play was supposed to go the way I wanted it to. All you have to do is act like you''re going to fall for the guy''s target with an innocent face. How many hours have passed? Alex got up and went to the bathroom. Pretending to go to the bathroom to be precise, he approached this way. Huh? Maybe... When Alex saw Jinhyuk, his eyes widened. It''s like meeting a celebrity in real life. Excuse me. Isn''t it, by any chance, player Kang Jin-hyuk, who received an S-class judgment in Korea today? slightly excited face. warble. hey look at your acting skills If this is enough, would you believe me if I said that I am a movie star and not an executive of a company? But when it comes to acting, this one doesn''t lose. Yes. I just received a retrial as an S-class. Yeah! Today [Tower of Trials] I watched the video posted on the community over and over again. It''s really amazing. I''m sure I''ll meet the person who saw it in the video. Alex, who had been chatting with excitement for a while, remembered something. I rummaged through the inside pocket of my suit. Excuse me... I''m Alex Jude Law. The business card handed to him had the words ''Overseas Sales Director of De Feona Corporation'' written on it. "This is Jinhyuk Kang." It''s a coincidence that we met like this, how about going to a bar and having a drink? Time goes by faster if you have a drink on a long trip. Build friendships masquerading as coincidences. Certainly not a bad way. Especially if you have a gentle mask and flashy speech. But well. Who will be the last to laugh in this discourse? Well, it would be nice to pass the time. It was a bit disappointing that I only drink beer. The destination was a bar for first and business passengers. I have a drink that I like to drink, is it okay to use it? It doesn''t matter as long as there''s a lot of alcohol. Haha. You don''t have to worry about that. Louis XIII. It is the finest cognac sold at the salon for 15 million won per bottle. Alex made it as casual as pulling a Coke from a vending machine. One cup, two cups. As the strong liquor was emptied, the boundary between the two gradually became thinner. At least Alex believed so. And when finally the whole bottle is empty. Actually, I didn''t come to Korea for the cosmetics business. It was to expand my business to the Awakening-related business. Alex started talking in earnest. moon crack. Ice the size of a child''s fist moved in the glass. Jinhyuk asked, pretending not to know. Awakened business? Yeah. I tried to start lightly, but there was a small problem. What if...? "Before I say that, first of all, do you know about the person who wears a mask recently, Jinhyuk Kang?" Of course you know. That mask is still in the suitcase. If I take it out right now and use it, this guy''s expression will look pretty good, but... . You have to be patient for now. Still, the story isn''t over. Jinhyuk straightened his expression. And it was said. I''ve seen it a few times through video. The player who played the biggest role in attacking the ''Corridor of the Fallen'' on the 1st floor. Recently, at a meeting between large guilds, they announced the attack on the 4th floor. What''s wrong with Alex''s company? It''s kind of a rice bowl fight. We also wanted to help out with the boss, but he blocked it so hard. Maybe he wanted to get all the balls. look at this guy You don''t even put saliva on your mouth and just make up your own words? After editing the part related to Mine, I uploaded the video... . They seem to think that the third party will never know the truth. ''Even if you hit a phrase, how do you hit the person with a phrase?'' What is this, I want to be deceived, but I cannot deceive you. Jinhyuk smirked. It seems like it would be quite interesting to hear how far the bullshit goes. You''re a very greedy friend. The person who wore that mask. That''s right! It''s too much! That''s why. If player Jinhyuk Kang goes with us... it will be a huge help for us. Am I? Yes! From S-class, the right to act alone is given, so no one will be able to touch Jinhyuk Kang. So. Would you like to use the privileges of the S-class to put a spoonful on the 4th floor? What should I say? Do I really have to say that my face is really thick? Even if I stab it with a ballpoint pen, not a drop of blood will come out. this. It''s not that I don''t like Alex, but it''s a bit excessive to ask. "Of course, I plan to pay a price commensurate with the unreasonable demands." As if Alex was waiting, he opened the subspace inventory. uuung! What appeared with a brilliant light was the elixir, a blue liquid contained in a transparent crystal. even if you get a fatal disease. Or a legendary potion that can heal even if the heart is broken. ''Really, what are these guys doing to have so many expensive things?'' No, seriously. If possible, I would like to capture me at some point and shoot a vlog about the day of the magicians. How viciously you have to live from waking up in the morning until you fall asleep to keep your back warm and full. watch and learn Jinhyuk fiddled with the bottle with the elixir. This is... I like it. Then Alex pulled out a piece of paper. As long as you sign the contract, the Elixir belongs to player Jinhyuk Kang. [Alex activates Lv5 ''Contract of the Dead''!] A faint, yet ominous energy erupted. It was the unique skill of Necromancers that had binding power from the contracted partner. ''After all, are you using this?'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. On the surface, it is no different from just an ordinary contract. So it''s scary. Because it was so easy to get caught not knowing. ''Because it is an absolute judgment, once caught, you must carry out the contents of the contract.'' Failure to do so will result in only death. So don''t fish here. However, Elixir was too precious not to sign. Oh! Jinhyuk lightly clapped his hands as he remembered something. Have you decided? Yes. I''m sorry, but I won''t sign. There''s a lot of fraud these days, so I''m careful not to play with the pen. "That that''s very disappointing. If that''s the case, then Elixir will have no choice but to do something that never happened." Alex reached out to Jinhyuk. Since the contract was broken, it meant that I had to release the Elixir. However. I''ll keep this for myself. What do you mean? It''s also a warning that I don''t spit out the candy I put in my mouth again until I''m done eating. Having said that, he secretly pulled mana together. kukukuku! The plane shook violently. Sup, passengers. The plane staggers for a while due to the turbulence, so everyone fasten their seat belts... Kyaaaaah! I hope you all stop moving for a moment. The crew moved hurriedly. Everyone assumed that this was due to the presence of turbulence. I''ll go back to my seat for the sake of safety. Alex also follow the crew''s instructions. Jinhyuk smirked at Alex, who bit his molars tightly. why? If you feel sad, do you try to do it by force? But are you okay? The Necromancer... What are you going to do with a dead body? Do you really want to kill everyone here? ''well.'' It won''t happen. So much so that he could decide on his own. Because Alex''s authority within the Mine Association isn''t that great. CH 49 . Black Market (2) wow. Alex bit his molar hard, but he didn''t intend to attack. It''s a natural thing. Because the Necromancer was not in a position for close combat. Above all else, the only authority given to him is conciliation. As for the battle, permission from above was required. Before you go, I''d like to ask you one last thing. Did you know from the beginning? Where I belonged. I was just noticing it. Still, it was better than when we were a duo. The effort to look natural was evident. At that time, I was only paying attention to the grand exterior design, so I missed the details. Thanks to you, I immediately realized it was a trap. Like last time... You''ve been very helpful in skipping the down payment. "That''s right, because you guys are treated like hogu, so I have no choice but to keep going." They forcefully shove the cake in their mouth. As a human being, we have no choice but to chew delicious food. "I just acted naturally." Jinhyuk smiled brightly. On the other hand, Alex''s face was even more contorted. It would be better not to provoke us too much. Right now, a troublesome enemy appears, and that guy takes priority, but after that, we''ll ask you for this too. If it''s a troublesome guy, are you talking about the masked guy? That''s right. Well. At your level, how can you not do that guy? Ha! He pretended he hadn''t heard of it until a little while ago. Now, let''s say that... Alex smirked as if it was ridiculous. However, the moment Jinhyuk''s words continued. Alex had to overthrow all the assumptions that underpinned the plan. Wearing a mask with runes inscribed on it, I recently made contact with a large guild. Of course, you were there too. ...! Alex''s pupils shook violently. I was sweating and dry saliva ran down my throat. no way. ''Are you really acquainted with the masked guy?'' The uploaded video contains edited parts about mines, so a third party will never know. ''In other words, it''s true.'' Of course, another possibility exists. The only possibility is that the two are the same person. However, Alex could not even imagine that the masked man and Jinhyuk were the same person. yea that''s the way it is In order to attack the Corridor of the Fallen on the first floor, the player had to maintain level 1. Of course, the man with the mask must have been level 1. However, Jinhyuk in front of him received the result of estimated level 20 through a ball a few hours ago. The level gap between the two is a whopping 19. ''It is impossible to catch up with that gap in just a few days.'' So the two are strangers. At least Alex was so sure. this also. Because I didn''t know that Jinhyuk designed it. ''The more clumsy they know, the more certain they are of the information they know.'' Jinhyuk''s lips went up. I thought they would know how to attack the corridors as well. The range of information was so wide and the Artifacts it had were gorgeous. He must have found a bit of information, though clumsily. However. What I know about the existence of the Tower of Trials, the first basement floor... . ''I am the only one in this world.'' never reachable. At the same time, an information gap that cannot be caught up with forever. For a long time, it was a privilege that only those who enjoyed suffering could obtain. Finally, Alex let out a long sigh. ...Whoa. In order to get information about him, we have to put up with player Jinhyuk Kang''s pranks to a certain extent, I guess that means something like this. That''s what it means. And do you know? Anyway, I and that guy are competing, so can you give us some useful information later? "I see I have to be satisfied with that for now." Alex nodded reluctantly. great. It seems that the relationship with these guys has been established not badly. Ah! And I''m talking about the old woman... Jinhyuk opened his mouth for the last time. Yes? If you can''t deal with just one natural star, and you''re embarrassed by the masked guy, you''d better not fight me. If you''re thinking of extracting information forcibly by saying it''s assassination or torture, think again. At least. Because I''m much more picky than them. After a series of events, the plane flew smoothly again. So much time passes. It was late in the evening when we arrived at the Las Vegas airport. Alex couldn''t see when he disappeared. Jinhyuk turned off his attention to him. Because right now, there are more important things to do than caring about him. The time remaining before the auction starts is about 4 hours. ''First, I''ll have to raise capital.'' I need dollars And as much as possible. ''I should have called at least 200 times the money I have now... .'' You could have asked Sang-Jin Han for money, but if you ask about the source of the funds, things could get in trouble later. ''As far as I know, the most terrifying government department in the world was the Tax Office.'' If so, all that''s left is to settle with the money you have. When I exchanged the won in my wallet, it was only about 4,000 dollars. Of course, there is no chin for this. The minimum bid at the auction house started at $50,000. if so. I will bring back the memories of the world. I called up the skills that Jinhyuk had saved. What was needed was the ability to fuse with the ''eye of truth''. ''I tried to fuse with the spirits'' abilities later, but I can''t help it right now.'' The elemental class acts as a buffer that can alleviate the side effects even if you abuse your abilities. On the other hand, the dark attribute had a disadvantage in that it had side effects instead of good efficiency. safety and efficiency. This means you have to choose between the two. And under the current circumstances, Jinhyuk chose the latter. [''Eye of Truth (SS)'' and ''Blood Magic (S)'' are fused.] [You have succeeded in fusion!] [You have acquired the skill ''Eyes of Gluttony (SSS)''!] huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The two skills merged into one with a bright light. [Eye of Gluttony] Acquisition Difficulty: SSS Description: A higher version skill of ''Eyes of Truth''. It is immune to all kinds of barriers, and can not only take a peek at the opponent''s status window, but also interfere with the inner part through ''view sharing'' and ''mind reading'' can. However, there is also a risk of contaminating the caster''s personality if used frequently due to the trait of Blood Magician. Lasts.) can only be activated. greedy eyes. If used excessively, there were side effects that could lead to loss of humanity. In terms of efficiency, it was a skill that boasted an overwhelming ability that was incomparable. ''Not bad.'' Jinhyuk nodded his head as if satisfied. I have done all the basic preparations. Now it''s time to go raking in the money. In Las Vegas, a city that is more colorful at night than by day. Las Vegas ''Luxor Hotel'' casino. David, the chief of security here, was not in the mood for the news that followed. Shi, sir. We are already losing over a million dollars. It''s the 4th dealer replacement, but I can''t get my hands on it. There is no problem with the security camera. The barriers that block unique abilities and skills throughout the casino are working properly. The security staff reported with a hardened face. Well, what''s going on now! If not, how are you going to explain this? kwaang! David hit the CCTV monitor. One Asian customer you can see often here. It was this person who started it all. ''You came with only 4,000 dollars and you can win more than 100,000 dollars in an hour?'' It''s nonsense if you''re just playing a slot machine or roulette that''s left to chance. The only sport is poker. As it is a gamble that reflects skill, the longer the hogu sat, the more the casino ended up winning. But the Asian man survived there. No, you just survived? It''s running into a riot at all. While making fun of the dealers who have gone through all the prenatal care. ''The win rate is not high.'' The win rate is just over 10%. But the problem is, sometimes every time you win, you wipe out the big board. It''s as if you''re spying on every deck on the table. ''What kind of Excellent grade are you using?'' It''s not even a unique ability. It''s not even a skill. If that''s the case, then the insider who has joined hands with him has no choice but to be inside. That was David''s conclusion. Dealer, get ready to change again. This time I''ll nominate myself. same time. Jinhyeok was busy picking money at the poker table. [shit. You can''t lose this time too. somehow... . I have to win somehow.] Through ''Mind Reading'', the dealer''s heart was heard. At the same time. [J One Pair] With the shared view, the dealer''s hand was also clearly visible. All you have to do is watch the situation and place your bets leisurely. ''I want to lose, but I can''t lose.'' No matter how many barriers are spread inside the casino, it cannot block the ''Eyes of Gluttony'' with immunity check. Is it like a skill optimized for gambling? If I had enough time, it seemed that I could sweep away all the money in casinos around the world. ''Well, I''ll be on the blacklist next time, so realistically, it won''t happen.'' Does not matter. Because this was the only time I needed urgent money anyway. Cole. I''m ten to two. Jinhyuk pushed in the stacked chips. The dealer bit his lip. Then, reluctantly, he played a hand. ...10 two fair wins. Congratulations. Since even bluffing, which he had used as a last resort, was discovered, all he could do was admit defeat. Oh my gosh... How many other dealers have been smashed? It''s already the fourth. Damn it. I''ve been in the casino for 10 years and this is the first time I''ve seen this. You scratched quite a lot. At least a million dollars? Crazy. It''s like you''ve won the lottery. But isn''t it time to wake up soon? You just have to hold on to the end and blow up your clothes. That''s stupid talk. That guy is perfectly paced. If it goes on like this, the casino might have to close. Fuhaha! That''s worth a look. The people watching exclaimed. It was because he was suddenly fascinated by Jinhyuk''s splendid workmanship. chwaruruk! Jinhyuk collected the chips and stacked them high by color again. That''s an extra $200,000. However. ''Not enough.'' The vigilant dealers did not bite the bait easily. Thanks to that, time passes, but the bet amount hardly grows. The remaining time is now 30 minutes. But that was then. Dealer, I''ll replace it once more. A pale, skinny man appeared. A face with deep dark circles, with only leather sticking to the bones. However, what was more impressive than the deformed appearance was the energy flowing from the man''s body. hoo. look at this Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. ''Will you use the Awakened as a dealer?'' Perhaps they must have played something on the barrier side so that they could use their abilities. I thought the casino would give me an excellent grade to recover my lost money, but... . cute. ''Eyes of gluttony'' Do you want to joke around in front of me? Jinhyuk pretended not to know and took off his silliness. I''ll shuffle. The dealer takes a new deck of cards. uuung! I could see mana forming on the tip of my finger. [Michael Padro activates Lv3 ''Cunning Trick''!] chwachwachwa! The cards were shuffled at high speed. one two. The clover and the heart raced wildly as they overlapped up and down. In line with that, Jinhyuk''s eyes began to move together. five, six... . And finally. The cards that have been shuffled are placed in front of the dealer and Jinhyeok. However, Jinhyuk did not turn the card over. Tadaak! Tadaak! Instead, he tapped the table with his fingers and scratched the dealer''s nerves. Card...don''t you check it? Eventually, the dealer cautiously opened his mouth. Confirm? Yes. You have to confirm before you can place a bet, right? well. A total of seven times. I only played with the three skills I saw. Do I have to look at the cards? Hey, what do you mean by that... The dealer''s voice trembled softly. It''s pretty good for this guy to play with cards, but he didn''t get proper acting training. Do you use it only when everything shows up on your face when you say you were stabbed? Okay. Ask the hotel manager or the security team manager to come out. Right now. Jinhyuk spit out the command line. then right then You dirty Asian baboon dare to come out to anyone, Mara? And what? skill? Scam? Is this really crazy? You think you''ll be taken out in an ambulance today. Okay? David appeared with his bodyguards. CH 50 . Black Market (3) A bunch of masses with only muscles inflated like balloons appeared. "Hey, yel**w monkey. Say it again. Are you saying our casino is doing something illegal now?" David rolled his eyes. It''s already badly planted, but it''s a face that it''s caught properly. The fart guy is angry. At this point, I thought it was a global custom to have a thick face. Of course, I can laugh it off because I''m the only one. There''s only one thing, I can''t get past that snout. "Yel**w... a monkey?" "Yeah, you Asians all have the same skin color. Besides, what''s with that little boy''s face? You look pretty like a woman." I just decided on this one. "For now, let''s hit you until your face turns yel**w." The story is next. "You''re a madman who has completely lost his fear. Take them inside so they don''t get in the way of enjoying the guests." David waved his hand in annoyance. Then the bodyguards clenched their knuckles and approached Jinhyuk. "Yes, chief." "What is this, even just a little casting will break all the bones?" "I don''t know what kind of guts you''re talking about." "I''m looking forward to seeing you squeeze it a little bit later." The overwhelming Western body. And the bodyguards here were the elite among them. But the moment a huge hand touched Jinhyuk''s shoulder. Ududuk! An eerie sound of bones breaking rang out. "Aaaaaah! Arms! My arms!" The scream came out about a second after that. Right arm twisted 180 degrees. The muscular man shouted for his neck to burst. "What, what?" Everyone''s faces contorted in astonishment. However, there was no time to comprehend the situation or to respond to it. Because Jin-hyeok, who had dealt with one person, moved to deal with the next prey. kwaang! "Ouch!" kwaduk! "Aww!" It is a light movement. However, the results were not easy. "Ugh..." "Sa, save me. Please..." broken arms and legs. His ligaments have completely ruptured, and he will never be able to lift a fork with his own hand for the rest of his life. Fortunately, the people who injured their arms were lucky. Some seemed difficult to avoid being in a wheelchair. Without a single word of mercy, it was in his hands full of cruelty. "Does that make sense? How many people did you just knock down by yourself?" "F, it''s a player! That person is a combat player!" "Well, there''s no way to explain it otherwise." Even the people who were watching exclaimed in his cruel and colorful hands. Now there is only one left. "Wow!" The heaviest white man swung his fist. Still, it was an attack aimed precisely at the temple, whether it had been trained in its own way. Of course, Jinhyuk avoided his fist by gently moving his head. At the same time, he moved his right hand like lightning. "Gagging?" For a moment, the white man''s breathing stopped. A hand that was as hard as steel was blocking my neck, so it had to be. But, what was really surprising was the beginning. That play! A little less than 180 cm tall. An Asian who weighs only 70 kg, He was holding the neck of a 2m tall and lightly over 100kg neck and lifting it. One-handed too. At the grotesque sight, David was finally forced to admit. "This is absurd..." that his judgment was completely wrong. "No. Kek! Kek! No way!" As Jin-hyuk''s hands gained strength little by little, the man twisted his whole body. It was because he knew better than anyone what would happen if he went on like this. "Okay." Uduk! The collarbone is shattered. Even the last remaining bodyguard joined the horrific horse. That''s it. Now that the clunky bastards are all sorted out, it''s time to take care of the guy with the mop in his mouth. "I guess it''s yours who should be squeezing?" Jinhyuk shrugged. "Huh, you''ll regret it. Our casino has a contract with the Scavengers Guild." "Scavenger?" "Yeah. It''s not too late now, so you''d better run away. No matter how awakened you are, the guild won''t do it." Scavenger. Scavenger. Looks like a guild I''ve heard of somewhere... . "Isn''t there Milo or something doing something?" "Hey, how do you do that?" how is it Before [I know because I met him when I played Tower of Trials.] I remember going around slaughtering newbies in the beginner zone because it''s rubbish to do things with subjects with mediocre skills. At the same time, I also remember that I had an argument with myself, who had a business there, and brushed it off very well. ''There was a time when, after burying only the head alive in the tidal flat, an earth science experiment was conducted using the tide. There have even been times when I just hit him with a spoon to kill him.'' Come to think of it, I think it was the same for me that I was not iron. Anyway, I followed him around 30 times and killed him, so I couldn''t see him at all after that. It''s probably because your self-esteem has been completely crushed. But it was only those guys who believed in it? "It doesn''t matter." Jinhyuk smirked. ''What kind of confidence are you?'' David tilted his head at Jinhyuk''s leisure. Even an awakened player is nothing more than an individual in front of the guild. It means that no matter how much you run on your own, there is a limit. Even if it was an A-scale guild like Scavenger, it was a normal reaction to demon from the tail the moment you heard the name. That was then. supportive! A noise was heard in the earphones in David''s ears. It was a call from the security room. "Shi, Chief. I found what you asked for earlier!" "If you''d like. Ah! Yes. Profile. How''s it going?" "Well, that''s what..." "Damn it! Don''t be lazy and say it quickly!" "Kang Jin-hyuk is a ranker who received an S-rank in Korea yesterday. I checked it because it was a prom video, but he is a total monster. Never, never, ever fight. With that person. "S, S-class? S-class!?" David was so startled that he almost stopped biting his tongue. swaying Unknowingly, my leg loosened. Rumble. My heart started beating at a beat. ''Hey, the grade would be that high.'' Even in the United States, there are fewer than 20 S-classes. This is despite the fact that it is being supported by all power at the national level. But if you touch one of them. As a mid-level scavenger. Even if the entire guild clings to it, it will not even become an opponent. ''I touched the hive.'' Even David, no matter how ignorant of towers, knew. About the influence that high-ranking rankers have in the present age. And if your opponent is determined and runs wild... . gulp. A cold sweat was flowing. Regardless of the casino''s reputation or Nabal. All I had in my head was the thought of living. so I spit it out "Sorry, I''m sorry. I stopped seeing you and made an excuse." In the most sincere and earnest voice you can. But. "Why are you suddenly apologizing?" Jinhyuk''s face became even more contorted. It''s like hearing something you shouldn''t hear. "Yes? That''s right. I just heard about Kang Jin-hyuk player from the security room." I asked him why his attitude changed 180 degrees. "After hearing the rating, did you think that I touched the wrong thing? So did you apologize?" If it was an F-class or an ordinary person, would you have ignored it all the time? "I, I don''t mean that..." David tried urgently to make excuses, but it was too late. Whoops! "Wow!" I felt a terrible pain from the fists digging deep into my stomach. "If you do what you want and apologize, it''s not the end, right? If you''re sorry, you shouldn''t have done it from the beginning." Kill someone and say, ''I''m sorry.'' are you done? If you regret it later and shed even a few tears, it''s all over. "No, that''s right. I won''t make that mistake again. Never again..." "Whether it happens again or not is not for me to know. Let''s just be right about what we''ve already done." promised I will beat you until your face turns yel**w. And Jinhyuk sincerely thought he would do that. "Sleep... ah ah ah ah ah!" bang! kwaang! Jinhyuk punched David in the face with his fist. one room. one room. As if to relieve the accumulated stress when he came here, he loaded the weight and struck it down. When he was hit about thirty, David made the sound of death. "Help me... save me. I''ll do anything. So please stop..." There were blood bruises here and there, of course, and even the bones of the nose fell down. Jinhyuk stopped pounding. "anything?" "Yes! Yes! Well, whatever!" "Then, I go in front of the mirror over there and play rock-paper-scissors until I win. If you stop in the middle, you will get hit again, so keep that in mind." "Yes? Go, rock, paper, scissors?" "It''s okay if you don''t know. Let''s just keep hitting. I think that''s more convenient for me." "Oh no! I''ll do my best! Just leave it to me!" David staggered to his feet and turned to the hand mirror. And he started playing rock-paper-scissors with all his might as if he was playing the last game in this world. Jinhyuk sat down at the table again. In front of him stood a dealer with a confused expression. "Okay then. Should we continue?" "Yes? What is the meaning of next?" "The game we played before. We didn''t win, so let''s continue." "Ji, are you serious?" "I know. You were joking around. But, it doesn''t matter." Jinhyuk smiled meaningfully. are you kidding me? skill? do whatever you want If you can do that. [If I use the skill here again, I will be the same as the manager. That''s not allowed. There is no reason to be loyal enough to sacrifice your life here.] The voice of the other party was heard through the ''Eyes of Gluttony''. "I''ll just go all-in from now on. I''m sure you know what I mean..." Jinhyuk pushed all the chips that were piled up. The game resumed. About 5 minutes later. The Scavengers Guild has arrived at the casino. "Chief David?" Scavenger Guild''s A-class player, John Smith, had no idea how to deal with this situation. Bodyguards moaning with their arms and legs broken on the floor. Besides, David, who called them here, is not even paying attention to the people in the guild, and isn''t he working on rock-paper-scissors? "Chief! Calm down!" After Smith yells one more time. David looked away from the mirror. "Oh !" "How the hell did this happen? Who brought the chief and bodyguards to this level?" "Oh no. Nothing nothing happened." nothing can happen How can you believe that nothing happened after seeing this mess? Just then, Smith''s gaze turned to the table. To be precise, towards Jin-hyeok, who is with the absurdly piled chips. "That''s what he is." There''s no need for any explanation. Because there was only one person who was enjoying the game leisurely in this situation. By the way. "Hold on. Damn, hold on! Never, never, ever touch him! We''re fine. So just go away. Please." David begged with a pale face. "Actually... sir?" While giving Smith an expression of incomprehension. "Hey. It''s already this time? You''re busy. What time are you going to exchange all of these? Jinhyuk stretched out and got up from his seat. Then he clasped a ten-dollar chip into David''s hand. "Oh! Manager. I''m going to play well today. You''ll be cold both physically and mentally to save money, but on the way to this place, eat a bowl of hot soup." Also, hot soup is the best when you''re hesitant. CH 51 . Black Market (4) A night when the sun is completely gone. Jinhyuk was waiting for someone in an alley where there were no people. ''It''s pretty cold at night.'' I came out a little early in case I would be late for the time specified by the black market, but the night dew was quite cold. still. Because the desired condition was achieved, even the waiting time for the opponent felt enjoyable. ''They said that having a strong account gives you confidence that you didn''t have, and that statement was true.'' 30 million dollars. That''s over 35 billion Korean Won. Jinhyuk earned most of it in less than 10 minutes. It was a great victory that will go down in the history of gambling. ''This is enough... It''s enough to win the bid for the replica artifact you want.'' It is said that a total of 100 auction items will be exhibited, so competition will not be fierce. ''Especially what I want because it doesn''t look attractive at all.'' A pearl buried in the mud. To those who know its value, it has an incomparable value to banknotes, but to those who do not know it, it is an item that is reluctant to open its wallet. Anyway, the time has come... . The moment I thought so. Boo Woong! I heard a car approaching. After a while, a black Mercedes-Benz Maybach stopped in front of Jinhyuk. The window went down and I saw a man in a suit. Is Iza an employee from the black market? Customer number 117. Are you right? Yes, that''s right. Jinhyuk showed the number written on the invitation. I have confirmed. So, from now on, I will take you to the place where the auction is held. Please understand that you have to wear an eye patch for security. Eyepatch on the back seat of the car. As expected, there was even a magic that blocked the view. If you watch it in a movie or something like that, even if you wear an eye mask, you draw a destination in your head while counting the seconds. How about in reality? It would be fun to try, but it doesn''t have to be. [30 minutes away, a mansion located in the middle of the desert.] [I must hurry so that I am not late. But what are you doing? Come on, don''t ride.] Even without doing anything like that, I was able to grasp all sorts of information through the ''Eyes of Gluttony''. ''I''ll try to use it on the players later.'' In the past, all players had left the Tower of Trials by the time they got these eyes. It means that even if you want to experiment, all the subjects you can experiment with have disappeared. ''I don''t have to worry about that anymore.'' If we don''t want humanity to perish, we''ll all have to wear our flags and climb the tower. It may or may not work for those who can handle mana. And if it works, to what level will it work? It would be another pleasure to know it. Jinhyuk buried himself in the soft sheet. It had been exactly 30 minutes. Im here. with the words of the staff. The car stopped. I was finally able to take off the eyepatch. ''Whoa. I thought I was going to die cramped.'' As Jinhyuk got out of the car, a surprising scene unfolded. Oh. Exclamations flowed from his mouth. yea that''s the way it is It is a much more splendid and beautiful mansion than I had perceived through ''Eyes of Gluttony''. In addition, the starry night sky and the oasis were harmonized, and the exterior of the mansion created a picturesque spectacle. You can leave the invitation to me. Then, have a good time. After the staff checked the authenticity of the invitation, he bowed deeply. Jinhyuk, who was alone, went inside the mansion. The moment you enter the gate through the pond attached to the garden. [Promise, haven''t you forgotten?] Alice''s voice was heard. right. this guy was there Finding mine on the plane was special, so I asked him to say one thing he wanted. Alice said she wanted to see the outside world. I don''t care, are you okay here? Las Vegas would have a lot more to see if we went outside. There are so many things to see, from fireworks to motorcycle performances. But would you dare to visit an auction house where the rich boast of their money? [If you want to fit into this noble-blooded nobility of the night, you must have at least this level of dignity. It''s not a bad mansion. Even if it''s made by humans. I will choose this way.] hello. Living in a ring of 0.001 pyeong, what suits you? And what is the noble of the night? The noble of the night. Are you talking about the nobility of the corner of the night? [what!? A bat babbling in a slum gosiwon?] Elise groaned and screamed. The ring vibrated slightly. I didn''t even say that... At this point, I feel pity beyond pathetic. Yes. I''ve been through well in the past, so I should understand. Jinhyuk shook his head and looked around. As it was a very spacious mansion, it was rare to see a popular figure. I didn''t feel the camera or any special mana reaction. ''As long as you check the invitation, it means that the internal security is certain.'' Above all, there must be a reason why you must protect your privacy due to the traits of the guests participating in the auction. it went well this way Because no one will notice that one or more guests are added. uuung! Jinhyuk injected mana into Braham''s ring. OK. Elise in human form appeared from the ring. This time, he wasn''t the size of a dog, he was close to 150cm tall. It was still small considering that it was originally over 170cm, but it was enough to avoid doubts. Ummm! The fresh air outside is nice. Elise stretched. Long silver hair and red eyes stood out in particular. I poured mana as much as possible, but it is unreasonable to go beyond that size. It''s fine. Still, it''s much better than being less than 30cm in the past. As if satisfied, he smiled and nodded his head. It''s nice to think that way. Well, are you going to do that auction now? Alice''s eyes twinkled. It was a location where all of his subordinates would come to the rescue if they set their mind on whatever they wanted. For Elise, the idea of economics did not exist at all. Therefore, spectacles like an auction were quite interesting from her point of view. Yeah. I''ll have to go inside. It''s almost time. Jinhyuk took out his smartphone and checked the time. 10 minutes. After that, a war between money and money begins. Amphitheater located in the center of the mansion. Originally designed for opera performances, it has now been transformed into an auction house for the world''s wealthiest people who want to trade behind the scenes. "It''s now the 175th .. I attend every year, but I''m always excited before the auction starts." I heard rumors that ''Heart of the Fish Dragon'' is also coming out at this auction. Really? It''s coming out? It''s probably thanks to the appearance of the Tower of Trials. Because of the mana wave or something, all the treasures of the stars that disappeared in ancient times are being reproduced. Great. I''m looking forward to it. Even if I don''t win the bid, I''ll definitely have to take a look. "And this time, there are so many big things that they say they accept precious metals and bonds in addition to dollars. Of course, in that case, you have to pay an additional 10% fee." Then the competition will be fiercer. I''ll have to check my balance again. murmur. More than half were already seated, chatting or calling somewhere. Jinhyuk and Elise also moved to find an empty seat. But right then. Heh heh. Nice to meet you. An old man dressed in a black hood approached. This man ? Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. It''s a familiar face Not long ago, an old man in the Mine Association who suggested a strategy for the 3rd floor boss to the executives of a large guild. That guy just appeared right in front of me. ''This is another giant appeared.'' If you think about the abilities you showed back then. The old man would be at the level of an executive of the Mine Association, or at least at the level of a middle manager. " " And next to him was Alex, whom he met on the plane. ''This guy must have been beaten quite a bit too.'' His handsome face was completely turned into mould. It''s probably because the Elixir was stolen without any results. Naturally, it didn''t take the slightest bit of sympathy. Because being sorry is a feeling that should only be felt when the other person is a human being. My name is Julius Cadrick. I''m sure you''ve noticed, but as you can see, I''m the teacher of this stupid disciple. Julius Cadrick... . That was the name. Jinhyuk, who heard the introduction of the opponent, quietly activated the ''Eyes of Gluttony''. Name: Julius Cadrick Gender: Male Age: 58 Level: 30 Strength 11 Dexterity 9 Stamina 10 mana 49 Evil 25 Stat Points you have: 1 Coins held: 130,855 Occupation: Necromancer Unique Ability: Gravekeeper of the Cursed Tomb skill: Lv6 ''Wailing Wall'', Lv6 ''Commander''s Command'', Lv5 ''Night of the Dead'', Lv5 ''Three Regeneration'', Lv4 ''Area Weakening'', Lv4 ''Infectious Disease'' [Copy Condition: Psychologically, he is very angry because of the successive failures of his incompetent subordinates. After completing the black magic class he supervises, if you get an A+ grade, you can copy one of your unique abilities or skills.] I knew it. As expected, this is a great ability. I''m sure he even has a unique ability that creates good synergy with the Necromancer. Since the ''December of the Cursed Graveyard'' can summon a large number of summons with a minimum of mana, it was the ability that the Necromancer, as well as the various summoner classes, wanted to acquire by using their skills. However. After reading the copy conditions, Jinhyuk had to grab his forehead with his finger. ''The system is going crazy.'' This is not to say that we should shoot passionate professors and full-featured students. What condition is this? Anyway, I wasn''t very interested in the abilities of the necromancers, but somehow the radiation conditions seemed to be getting worse and worse. That too in a bad way. ''Even though it''s an ability... .'' First of all, shall I scratch my sore stomach? Jinhyeok, who had taken a look at his expression, opened his mouth. "Thanks to you, I got valuable things and it was a pleasant flight." Heh heh. I''m so glad you did. That''s why, I wanted to ask you again about the information you know. This time, I''m here in person. Are you talking about the masked player? Yeah. It''s a pretty important issue for us. It''s a bit exaggerated and life or death depends on it... right? look at this... ? Are you secretly threatening? The corners of Jinhyuk''s mouth twisted slightly. If that''s the case, I would have said that I''d take a chance and tell you later. I''m sorry, but we don''t have any later. We need to get it done as soon as possible. That''s what I don''t know. Whether you are in a hurry or the shit line is burning. What does that have to do with me? If you''re in a hurry, just like sending a set of Korean beef on New Year''s Day, you can pack an elixir in a set of 12 and bring it home. However, despite Jinhyeok''s death, Cadrick''s expression was very calm. Hmm. Think carefully before making an assertion. Apparently, if you''ve come here, you''ve got something you need, don''t you think? So? If we put our minds to it... Cadrick''s eyes narrowed coldly. At the same time, his voice became cold. It means that you can buy all the items that are being exhibited today. CH 52 . Housekeeper of Ataraxia (1) The threat that if it were the Mine Association''s capital, they could take over the entire episode. No, it''s not just a threat. Because they had the ability to do that. Jinhyuk bit his lip. ''Are you trying to pressure me even if you take a loss?'' Things have gotten worse. It was because it was difficult to feel safe even with the $30 million won in Las Vegas if you were determined and stick to it. By the way. They look like they''re okay, but why are these guys so mean to you? Alice tilted her head in disbelief. Words spoken without thinking. However, at those words, Cadrick''s face was severely distorted. It''s Jinhyuk, there''s a reason I''m holding out... . The girl I saw for the first time was an exception there. What do you mean it looks okay? Literally. It means why a human being who thinks he has everything in the world with a handful of gold dust in the Great Sea is talking recklessly to my contractor. count. Again, there was no word in Ellis'' dictionary about measuring back and forth. sure. It was the same with Cadrick that he did not measure back and forth. Heh heh. This is ridiculous. Jinhyuk Kang, player. I don''t know where you got this naughty kid, but please crack down on it. After all, words thrown without filtering in the brain. However, the impact was enormous. kid? Alice pondered what she had just heard. very slowly. And that moment. A small spark flashed in Alice''s pupils. kid!? Until a while ago, it was only dealing with annoying flying insects, but from now on, it will be recognized as an enemy to be trampled on and killed. I''m talking to adults, so don''t interfere. There''s a limit to taking care of childish things. I''m going to kill this child... Just when Elise was about to put her nails up. Ladies and Gentlemen! Thank you for waiting for a long time. Right now, we will start the Black Market 175th auction! The amplified voice resounded throughout the amphitheater. Oooh! It''s finally starting! The guests applauded. Everyone waited for the first auction with anticipation. Thanks to this, the fight between Elise and Caedric stopped there. Player Jinhyuk Kang. Then, I''ll see you later. Of course, then you''ll have to beg me to hand over the item. After a brief bow, Cadrick returned to his seat. The auction continued. Before introducing the items, in addition to the auction list shared with the invitation, there are 5 additional items prepared, so please manage your balance appropriately. 5 undisclosed surprise entries! A host wearing a bow tie boosted the excitement of the auction. So, the first item is a meteorite that fell in Arizona, USA. It''s very well preserved and can be made into weapons or armor because of the mana from the Tower of Trials. Prices will start at $1 million! From the first auction, the mana-infused one came out. weapons or armor. Isn''t that the most popular keyword these days? 1.5 million! Two million! 2.5 million! This is mine. Five million! Values soaring in an instant. It was a natural result that the atmosphere heated up. ''They''re stupid.'' Jinhyuk, who watched the scene, clicked his tongue inwardly. To say that it is a meteorite infused with mana, without smelting technology, it''s a no-brainer. Buying it for 5 million dollars. I don''t know if you have a hobby of collecting garbage... . If not, you''re just wasting money. ''At least at this point, there was no blacksmith capable of handling meteorites.'' However, Jinhyuk lightly put a spoonful of that ridiculous amount of money on it. Six million. The price that broke the record at once. You want to buy that? Alice asked immediately. Trying to buy something that doesn''t look good at first glance makes me suspicious. Look. I''m not looking to buy it. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. If you spend money on this, you must be... . 6.5 million. Cadrick raised the amount even more. Again, as expected. ''I don''t know what I''m trying to get, so there''s no other way than to unconditionally beat every bet this side makes.'' No matter how much money they have, there must be a limit. If you exhaust the metallurgical metallurgy while smuggling in this way, you will be able to occupy an advantageous position when ''the item'' comes out. Seven million. 7.5 million! After Jinhyuk raised the price once more, as Cadrick chased after him again, he gently raised his hands. He was willing to give up. It was sold for $7.5 million! " " Cadrick''s brow furrowed slightly. It was because he realized what Jinhyuk''s intentions were. However, it was late. Because I had already lost 7.5 million dollars. Besides, unless you know what your opponent is aiming for, there is no point other than how to keep following him. ''Please, pray that the prepared balance is thick.'' Jinhyuk smiled brightly at Caedric, who had a face that had chewed shit. The next thing is also great. The logbook Columbus wrote when he found the New Americas! As if it were an auction organized by the Black Market, various rare treasures and relics of historical value were poured out. Suspicious vessels of unknown age, rafflesia contaminated with mana, torture tools used in medieval witch hunts, etc. Jinhyeok sprinkled the bait mainly on relics that were injected with mana or looked special among them. A very edible bait. In addition, as if he was about to give up, he continued to break the auction''s highest price by engaging in a skilled psychological battle. A devilish talent that could be called the worst in a gentleman''s auction. As a result, Cadrick was forced to spend more than $70 million on wacky items that were completely useless. pudding! Cadrick grinded his molars to break them. This... a loach-like guy. His face, which was red from anger and shame, was filled with only the desire to tear Jin-hyeok into small pieces. It''s not because of the money. 70 million dollars was not a small amount, but the balance allowed by the Mine Association far exceeded that. only. The drug only rises to the extent that the opponent''s absurd and mean strategy is insane. Master. Rather, why don''t we give up once? It seems that he doesn''t have a lot of capital itself, but there is a way to bankrupt it altogether. If you win the bid, you must pay. It means that the bullshit of late bids and the like won''t work. Stupid! But what if he just gets what he wants? Well, that''s... It''s been three months since you didn''t properly recruit in the first place, so shut up. There will be some loss of money, but this body will be the ultimate winner anyway. Yes. Whether it''s 70 million dollars or hundreds of millions of dollars. In the end, it was decided who had the last laugh. In the end, the auction was a game in which the person with a lot of capital wins. right then The following is an item for maniacs. We introduce it. The first chessboard! The host introduced a new object. An old and clunky looking chessboard appeared. Hmm. It doesn''t pull very well. I don''t even know a single chess piece. I often play it as a hobby, but that''s it... Who is it? Don''t you know if it''s a fragment made of luxurious wood? Anyway, ''Heart of the Fish Dragon'' will come out, so let''s save some bullets in case that happens. That''s right. That''s the main event of this auction. The heated atmosphere turned cold. It was because it was so boring compared to the treasures that had come out before. Oddly enough, did the host even try to wrap it up with the words that it was for mania? Of course, it must have been quite an appealing item for some collectors. Most of them were sullen. Starting from $50,000. If you want, please start bidding. 100 dollars. I use it to put my bathroom slippers. Fuhaha! I''ll do it for $150. Just our cutie cat. I needed a wooden plank to sharpen Alexander''s claws. 200 dollars here. It''s totally Hoguro. There''s nothing more than 200 dollars. The sound of giggling and laughter bit its tail. But only one. Jin Hyuk-man clenched his fists to calm his beating heart. pounding! pounding! pounding! ''Finally out.'' A key material for attacking the 3rd floor boss. Why did you participate in this auction? Jinhyuk glanced back and glanced back. Cadrick and Alex didn''t seem particularly interested either. ''The ground rice I''ve been sprinkling should do my part... .'' There is only one way to know if your hard work is paying off. Five thousand. Jinhyuk started bidding. what? Are there fifty thousand? Are you crazy? There was a response that I couldn''t understand. What kind of idiot spends fifty thousand dollars on that thing? But the laughter disappeared at once at the next voice. Ten thousand. Cadrick entered the bidding war. 15 million. Fifty thousand. Jinhyuk immediately raised the price, but Caedric followed without hesitation for even a second. shit. Cadrick''s face. I was skeptical, but I felt the will to never give up. One million. Let Jinhyuk upload it again. Ten million. This time, the unit itself is different. This is a floating number. Even after the price has jumped so far, I ask if it will follow. And if you don''t give up, you''ll convince your opponent. The fact that this item is what we are aiming for. Damn, what kind of chessboard do you spend ten million dollars on? Is there anything we don''t know? Crazy. I can''t stick with that price. bustling atmosphere. Things have changed 180 degrees from before. Suddenly, the customers gathered in the amphitheater began to focus on this auction. 15 million. Jinhyuk opened his mouth heavily. Already, we have reached half of the amount we have. But Cadrick continued to raise the bid price outrageously. 30 million. when I said so. Jinhyuk couldn''t open his mouth anymore. Because this front exceeded the maximum of the balance held. Huh. That amount was the limit. Cadrick folded his arms relaxedly. The host, who woke up a few seconds late, hurriedly grabbed the microphone. 30 million! Don''t you have more than 30 million? Because 10% of the commission was taken, a whopping $3 million in profits went to the black market. When I first submitted this item, I thought I would be lucky if I only got $5,000 in commission. Three million dollars was a whopping 600 times the amount. nothing more to see There will be no more bids than this anyway. Then, the 56th auction ''first chessboard'' sold for $30 million... But just when the host was about to shout the end. 1 million. A voice, who had never participated in an auction before, intervened. Right next to Jinhyuk. Elise? Jinhyuk''s pupils dilated rapidly. CH 53 . Housekeeper of Ataraxia (2) One hundred million 100 million? Are you crazy? You''re saying you''re spending 100 million on that? Nonsense. Those who were interested were startled by the amount that had gone crazy. I don''t know if it''s the ''Heart of the Fish Dragon'' or other undisclosed treasures of this auction. It''s an absurd amount to spend just on a chess board. Wow! Cadrick let out a deep sigh. yea that''s the way it is Cadrick was certain of victory when he found out Jinhyuk''s balance. All that''s left is to take that junk and exchange it with Jinhyuk''s information. Yes. that''s how it had to go But a little boy I didn''t even think of would grab my ankle. ''Isn''t that a normal human being?'' There''s no way it''s normal If you look at the fact that the price was raised to 100 million at once, not 1 million or 10 million. However, no matter who the opponent was, he couldn''t give up here. I''ve already spent 70 million dollars to buy a bunch of garbage, but if I stopped now, all of that would just be a waste of money. never. never can''t make it happen 110 million! 150 million. Huh? this crazy Raising $40 million at a time? What kind of auction are you running like that? It is a price jump where you can even feel the will to completely crush it. Cadrick''s complexion turned dark. It must be because the bridge of the nose, which I didn''t know was high in the sky, was crushed. 1, 160 million . Two billion. If you work hard to catch up, you will spread the distance at once. That too is hard to follow. Sure, Master! No more... Shut up. If we just lose to that guy, what''s going to happen to us? There is no such thing as a dog-whistle. The mission failed, of course, because it was like putting shit on the name of the association. Come on. Good! 210 million! 300 million. 310 million! Five billion. You''re talking like 500 million, 500 million. Do your best! It''s not game money, you''re trying to believe that you have 500 million! Eventually, the impatient Caedric jumped up from his seat. My heart was constantly pounding. His face was flushed red as if his excitement had not subsided. ''It''s a whole popcorn angle.'' Jinhyuk, who was watching the scene, managed to swallow the burst of laughter. In fact, she was confident she could win what she wanted at the auction even without Elise. ''It''s a pity, but the fragments of Merlin''s staff from the corridor were more than enough.'' Wow, one of the relics. Merlin''s wand could have made everyone here take off their panties. Still, it''s my taste to do money fights with other people''s money, not mine. For this, I left Elise to come into contact with the demons. If it was Elise, she would do everything she had to say, regardless of whether the opponent was Majin or Nabal. Because Caedric wasn''t the type to stand still in the face of his opponent''s provocations. I decided that if there was a spark between the two, it would naturally lead to the current confrontation. And that prediction was exactly right. I know the Mine Association is capable and has a lot of money, but... . well. Is it really one of the nobles of the night that ruled the upper floors of the Tower of Trials and more than the head of the Ataraxia family? Jinhyuk slowly crossed his legs. Just then, the moderator intervened. Hey Hmm! Big! Like the old gentleman said, could you please prove the balance? I''m not asking you to doubt the lady, but for the smooth running of the auction. That''s 500 million dollars, an amount that even executives of well-known companies would work their entire lives. But at best, it''s hard to believe that a girl who looks like only a middle school student spit it out proudly. proof? Yes. Okay. How difficult is that. Alice waved her hand lightly. OK. uuung! Suddenly, the space above Alice''s shoulder began to distort. Mistweave that fluctuates in red. "A space inventory?" Yes. It is a subspace inventory called the universal storage. That girl. Was it a player? If it''s this size, you''re pretty high-level, right? This, I''m only seeing something rare again. The guests were also amazed by the unexpected sight. Moments later, Elise pulled something out from beyond the space. It was a crown of splendor, adorned with numerous jewels. Didn''t you say that you can get precious metals as well as dollars at this auction? That''s right, but... The host looked at the crown with questionable eyes. It was doubtful whether it was genuine or not. For now, let''s try the emotions on our side. In preparation for such an event, we hired a player with emotional ability. The appraiser''s fingertips shone faintly. It is to activate the skill. By the way. The appraiser''s pupils, who were examining the crown, suddenly and rapidly dilated. Hey, this can''t be... A voice that vibrates violently. Even his hands trembled as if he had tremor. Why? After all, is it a fake? The moderator hurriedly asked. "No. Jin it''s right in my arms." I''m glad. So how much is this crown in your opinion? Do you really think it''s worth 500 million dollars? That''s. It seems difficult to answer. The appraiser shook his head as if in trouble. What? Hard to answer. What does that mean? The craftsmanship used in this crown is not of the kind that modern technology can mimic. Can''t imitate it with modern technology? do you mean that? "Is this in the tower ?" It must be. Besides, this eagle with seven wings in its crown. It is a spiritual creature that symbolizes the kingdom of Felstein. A word with a positive meaning. And the wave that one word caused reached the entire amphitheater. Were you in the tower? That? "No, if it''s the Felstein Kingdom, isn''t it one of the top undisclosed ruins in the Tower of Trials?" Ever since it became known that information about the tower was making money, the people in this place had been scrambling for information about it. At least insofar as they have access to their power and money. The ruins that you can enter only if you have a treasure that symbolizes the royal family. I''ve heard of it. I''ve heard of it before. [ The archaeologists who played the Tower of the Crucible found the relevant documents. ] The Forgotten Kingdom, Felstein. Due to the curse of the gods, the whole kingdom disappeared into the sand, and along with it were buried many treasures. Because it was located on the lower floor of the tower and it was a ruin called a lotto, it was also one of the places that many users tried to find. By the way, clues about the kingdom will come out from here. "Ah, what''s the value? If so, how much is it worth?" The host urged him with a half-bearing face. His relaxed and laid-back appearance was gone, and he used up to half a horse, forgetting even the fact that there were guests. If you dare to estimate, I think $3 billion is a good deal. Ugh? Three, three billion dollars? "What a madman. Without a map to the kingdom, the crown alone is that amount?" Oh my gosh... An evaluation result that far transcends the sense of reality. With this, the owner of the chessboard was decided. Profit! Cadrick''s face had turned completely earthy. Who the hell is that little boy who has such a formidable treasure? If Gampyeongsa''s words were true, no matter how much the Mine Association was, they were not financially competitive. The money I brought here was only 700 million dollars. ''I was completely wrong.'' fatal mistake. The habit of looking down on the opponent made the present result. ''But, more dangerous than that girl is Kang Jin-hyuk, who treats even that girl like a subordinate.'' I looked at Jinhyuk, who was stroking the girl''s hair as if Cadrick was proud. perhaps. very maybe. Perhaps there was an enemy that was much more annoying than the masked player. Chu, congratulations! Then I will bid for the ''first chessboard'' as a crown and give it to Lady Primary God! The host congratulated Elise in a loud voice. Druck! An employee in a black suit brought a chessboard sealed in a glass case. Give it to me, not me. All right. Instead, Jin-hyeok, who was handed the chessboard, made an apologetic expression. It''s not that I''m really sorry, but it was polite facial expression management to the last. However, if you want to have a good social life, you have to provide such a service. I''m grateful, but isn''t that overkill? Makes me feel sorry for nothing. nice! just look. I didn''t look in the mirror, but it must have been about 95 out of 100. He bit his lip with his front teeth and was sure that the desperate emotions were conveyed from the head bowed at an angle of 13.785 degrees. It''s a pity that the full collection is ruined, but there are several treasures that symbolize that kingdom anyway, and I won''t be able to see the smiles of those who speak rudely to my contractors more than that. " " this guy You know how to say strange things. ''Even if you pretend to be nothing on the outside, you''re saying that you put out your treasured collection for me.'' To be honest, I was a little impressed. It doesn''t feel so bad. In the future, I thought it was necessary to improve the treatment of Elise a little. I guess I should put some cushion in the ring or something. I''m going to sell it at the 5-day market so my habit doesn''t get too bad. And while Jinhyuk is smiling happily. Cadrick watched the two of them from afar. His eyes were filled with only the thought that he had to fix this situation, which had somehow become a mess. Of course, there is no way at all. The last card was still left. Cadrick''s hand rested on Alex''s shoulder. I have to go there because I have to prepare for the boss attack. I came here because it was too much to contact Jinhyuk, but I couldn''t stay here any longer. so. As soon as the auction is over. Kidnap Kang Jin-hyuk. I... mean? Yes, you can do it. Above all else, can you make a lot of usable corpses here? No matter how much the opponent is an S-class player, he cannot face a Necromancer who has the conditions. It was only because he was powerless in front of the black magic that led so many undead soldiers to run wild for a hundred days in a face-to-face battle. Before the tower appeared there, Alex, a surgeon, had a unique sense of handling the human body. Of course, it would be a huge blow if it became known that the powerful people in each country were turned into undead. That''s when you can testify while you''re alive. It is an eternal truth that the dead do not speak. What about the female side? Remove it. I was waiting for that word. A sly smile crept across Alex''s lips. Finally, the opportunity to repay the humiliation of the past has come. About three hours later, the last item on the auction was sold. It was a successful auction. In many senses. No matter what anyone says, the 175th round will be remembered for a long time in the history of the auction as the largest bid amount. Thank you for being with us for such a long time. When you die, you go through the car just like when you came... huh? That moment when the host was about to bow his head deeply. kukukuku! A huge wave broke out throughout the amphitheater. kwaang! bang! kwaaang! Cracks began to crack in the ceiling. The pillars collapsed. Aww! Sa, save people! What kind of madness is this! Damage. Avoid it first! I don''t know what happened. Actually, the causal relationship was pretty good. Because the only thing that matters now is to live. have to go Forward. any bit. Even 1 second faster! All of them moved desperately, guided by the instinct to survive. However. The place they went was not an escape. Rather, it was closer to hell. Scratch! Blood was scattered along with the flashing sword light. Uh-huh? Gagging...? The man who was leading the way grabbed his neck with both hands. I have a hole in my neck, so that''s the only way Where are you going to go in such a hurry? The precious sacrifices that should be my ingredients. Alex stood at the entrance and greeted the people. Next to it were monsters of terrible shape that I had never seen before. Kie-ee! Key gain! All other emergency exits were blocked by half-broken columns. This turned the amphitheater into a huge prison. A prison you can never get out of. But right then. "It was a party I really liked " Jinhyeok, who breathes life into the air, appeared in front of Alex. "You you were playing too much." crossed the line That too a lot. CH 54 . causal retribution You''re a disgusting necromancer. Do you think messy playing house is your hobby? Looking at these lovely creatures is messy... Well, it might look like that to the criminals. Alex stroked the monsters that lined up left and right. In his eyes, the monsters whose skin is clearly visible look really lovely. No matter how you look at it, it seems that those eyes are decorated with decorations. I don''t think it''s as good as LASIK. I''d recommend pulling them out. Pants! Following Jinhyuk''s dagger, a blue energy arose. The dazzling light swallowed up the entire sword at once. Fuhaha! Swordsmanship. Indeed, that''s an S-class answer. No, a mana like this would be outstanding among the S-class. However, even after seeing the sword, Alex grunted with a relaxed expression. If you believe in the rags behind you and shout out loud, you''re making a big mistake. Anyway. Was he just trying to deal with you with this alone? Alex smiled slyly. At the same time. kukukuku! A black energy swept through. [Alex activates Lv5 ''mana melting furnace''!] A wide area skill that covers the entire mansion. An ominous aura penetrated my skin in an instant. Aww! The head... my head! "I feel like my body is going to be ripped to pieces." The guests screamed and sat down on their seats. A curse that forcibly drains the vitality of the whole body. Because of this, the people who lived here had to face the pain of melting away alive. That too very slowly. Big. Jinhyuk frowned. I felt a tingling pain, but thanks to the mana protecting my body, I was able to avoid the melting of my skin. Sah, save me... please . People begged for their lives. Most were middle-aged or elderly. Dad... Mom. It hurts. Sometimes there were even younger children. ''Is it the family of the person who received the invitation?'' It''s too harsh to die just because you came here. Especially if you let a child die, your dreams will be ruined for the rest of your life. There must still be about 10 minutes left before it completely dissolves and dies. If you suppress the caster Alex inside and stop the melting furnace, there was still a possibility. 10 minutes. 10 minutes. I don''t have to risk myself to save people. There is no need to move hastily anymore. But if you just lay quietly on the floor like now without getting in the way... . " " Jinhyuk looked at Alex. eyes met. I see what''s on your dissatisfied expression, why? Is dying bugs so annoying? Worms? Yeah. Is there any other way to express this other than looking at the microscopic creatures that can only be used as ingredients for mana and calling them worms? eating. At Alex''s words, Jinhyuk smirked. At this point, it is ridiculous and there are no words. That''s why I don''t get along with your demons. I want to hang out with them, but I don''t like their existence. Hmm. I expected it to be more realistic if it was an S-class. Was it the same kind of disgusting emotional bastards? This world doesn''t roll with compassion. That''s a good thing. weak meat meal. Other than that, I agree with that statement. "It''s the words that came out of your mouth, so don''t blame yourself even if you die." It''s as if you''re stronger than me. You don''t think so? Moment. Pants! Jinhyuk''s sword twitched. [''Sword Graveyard'' is activated!] A much darker and ominous energy flowed out than Alex had used. The black river, which had been burning with blue light, suddenly turned black. At the same time. kwaang! Jinhyuk left his seat and sprinted forward. The distance narrowed in an instant. The dagger held by the reverse water penetrated into the flesh of the monsters. Kieek! Keeek! He had quite thick subcutaneous fat, but it wasn''t enough to block the gum cavity. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The strongest skill that cuts anything it touches. In a sword attack that crossed all over the place, more than 10 monsters were cut into dozens of fragments. However. [''Blood barrier'' is activated!] [Ranging ''play against undead'' begins!] The additional skill ''Blood barrier'' activated by the effect of the mana melting furnace was activated. Honey! Honey! The cut flesh began to heal in an instant. Even if the number of bugs is gathered like this, it''s pretty cool. There is no better material than this to use for recovery. Alex chuckled. indeed. I''m going to waste time coming out like this. As long as people''s vitality is drawn out, the monsters will continue to survive. Eventually, this mana will be exhausted and you will be exhausted. a sensible way. It''s the standard way, but... . I''m sorry. what? It''s a pity that you come up with this as a trump card and talk about it proudly. play? recovery? Wouldn''t it be enough to erase it without even having time to do it? Jinhyuk pointed the tip of the dagger towards Alex. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The light that began to gather at a point. The black river lifted, and a dazzling flash of light took its place. [Lv2 ''Day Light'' is activated!] The monsters twisted their whole body in the white energy that burned even the retina. Kee-e-e-e! Keeek! it must be painful Because the light attribute skill did a lot of damage to dark attribute monsters just by being manifested. Sheesh! After all, you''re using it! Alex clicked his tongue as expected. I''ve already seen it in the video of the showdown with Cheon Yoosung. The skill that releases mana compressed into a single point in a straight line, which is like a nightmare for the undead. So, I prepared for it. If that skill is activated, it will spread immediately. Alex redistributed mana. The command of the commander dug into the minds of the undead. However. For some reason, the undead didn''t even move from their place. What, what? what is it I''ve frozen the soles of my feet, so of course I just can''t move. In order to maximize the effect of the skill, Jinhyeok put together several combinations of the skills he possesses. One of them was using the wide-area skill ''Day Light'' and ''Ice Sculpting'' that restricts movement. The only downside of ''Day Light'' is the time it takes to activate. However, if it is ice modeling, it can be supplemented. with this It''s a check mate. The corner of Jinhyuk''s mouth went up. right at that moment. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A huge light engulfed the monsters. Chi profit! Heat rose from the ground. Not a single monster survived. This is because all cells that can regenerate have all evaporated. ''I used it for the first time, but it exceeded my expectations.'' Jinhyuk let out a small exclamation. Fusing the copied skills to create a new skill with a higher version. By combining them, we create a board optimized for battle. The exhilaration that came out of it was incomparable to anything else. On the other hand. Hey, this can''t be... Alex couldn''t accept this situation at all. 10 minutes. It was a fight that ended in just 10 minutes. If all the humans in this place were dissolved, it was possible to summon a higher level undead monster. But the undead who even used the ''Blood Barrier'' were wiped out with one blow. It''s impossible. Damn it! chuck! Alex pulled a scalpel out of his arms. Transparent liquid dripped from the sharp blade. It is poison. No, I know it''s desperate. Are you serious? Necromancers are coming in close combat? when I thought so. Alex threw the scalpel in his hand. An attack that flew in precisely aimed at the face. Kaang! Jinhyuk smashed it in one hit. The scalpel, cut in half, fell on the floor. It''s disappointing. Was the thought of doing it at best an escape? Why did you draw attention with your weapon? It seems that he was planning on escaping while diverting attention for a moment through the throw. Black smoke billowed around Alex''s body. A special skill that can only be used by magicians. ''Twisted Gap.'' It was an escape for short-distance space movement. sssss. The smoke grew thicker and thicker. The skill is about to be activated. sure. It wasn''t Jinhyuk who was just watching it. "Throwing is what you do." It is basic to figure out the shortest distance to the target. And you have to be so fast that your opponent can''t respond. Whoops! The dagger that had left Jinhyuk''s hand penetrated Alex''s chest. Aww! Skill activation was canceled with heavy pain. How is it, I gave you some level of education. Do you understand? Cool! Kuk! Kook! Ah! You don''t have to answer so hard. Because the place where the dagger is now is the lungs, it won''t be easy to breathe. Turn it off... Buy it, save it... "Do you really enjoy seeing other people suffer, but you don''t like it?" Isn''t that a bit unfair? A true necromancer should learn to enjoy his pain. Cuckoo, cuckoo. Kruckle... Alex grabbed Jinhyuk''s shoes, but Jinhyuk ignored his plea. From now on, I''ll tell you how you''re going to die. I''m giving life spoilers, so listen carefully. Because it''s about you and not anyone else. Your lungs will slowly bleed over the next couple of hours. Human life is surprisingly tough. Somehow, all the organs in the body are doing their part to make me survive even one second longer. And only after that long period of time will you be able to suffocate with blood in your lungs. It wasn''t as bad as dying by fire, but it was also one of the most gruesome. The more he heard about his own fate, the more terribly Alex''s face became distorted. "That ah no." Of course, I can save you from suffering for a long time. If you shut down the mana melting furnace yourself. ...! Why? No wonder, is there still any loyalty to the Magic Association? If I die anyway, everything will be in vain? It would be a big mistake if you knew how to keep your spirit until the very end, to hang a portrait in the Mine Association and hold a ancestral rite every year. Alex''s worth was, at best, nothing more than a throwaway card. ''I''ll use it for dangerous things like this and replace it with a new one when I no longer need it.'' So you don''t have to be loyal to them. Just let go and be comfortable. Because that would be good for each other. The worries didn''t last long. I know... I know. Promise. Cool! Promise... I''ll protect you, stop the mana melting furnace. " " Eventually, Alex snapped his fingers as if determined. OK. [Alex destroys the ''mana melting furnace''!] [''Blood barrier'' is dismantled!] Mana, who was holding the mansion, disappeared. At the same time, the moans of the guests also subsided. Now... Free me from this damn pain.... Gagging! Cool! Cool! My heart feels like it''s going to burn with every breath I take. Alex begged. With every word he uttered, his expression became more and more desperately contorted. It''s probably the feeling of pricking a hot skewer deep in your lungs. I''m sorry, but I don''t really like killing people. what? Life is the most precious law, so I couldn''t take my life with my own hands. "Hey, what kind of dog is that Lee." Alex reached out to Jinhyuk. Of course, he couldn''t even grab Jinhyuk''s crotch with his hands, which were slowly opened. ''It''s a last resort suitable for garbage.'' No, 1 hour is too short. Considering the evil he has done so far. Necromancer''s former Quest. You don''t need to have any sympathy just for being successful. Die as long and painfully as possible. While apologizing for the sins of experimenting on the human body with innocent people and making them undead by insulting the dead. CH 55 . End of Level 3, Heartless Army (1) Oh, no... no. Please, please...! Jinhyuk left behind screaming Alex and went back to the inside of the amphitheater. Because there was no reason to watch until the end. Whoops! Cuckoo! Debris fell irregularly in the aftermath of the mana furnace. It wasn''t threatening, but I didn''t want to be covered in dust. [Lv2 ''Ice Formation'' is activated.] Pants! A film of ice spread around Jinhyuk''s body. An ice shield with a snowflake pattern deflected the falling rocks. Jinhyuk''s eyes turned to the people lying on the floor. Consciousness has not returned yet. This is because he suffered a lot of physical and mental damage. ''Thanks to you, I can raise my additional income very well.'' In a situation close to disaster, there would have been no time to collect the auction items that had been sold. Treasures from Episode 175 lying beneath the rock fragments. This is the one who picks it up first. Jinhyuk walked between them and started farming slowly. ''Since you saved my life, of course I should be paid this much.'' On the contrary, it is as if they were made too cheap. Because he paid only a few hundred million for his life. Of course, there may be people who ask you to put out a bag after you rescued it from drowning. Does not matter. ''When I wake up, I''ll be on the plane going to Korea.'' Most of all, I''m stunned, how do you know who the culprit is? At best, it would be the best thing that could be done to blame the demons who made this disaster. lululala. Jinhyuk hummed and dug through the wreckage. Quite a few treasures were damaged, but fortunately, the best ones survived. ''I feel like I''m completely inside a treasure dungeon.'' ''Heart of an ichthyosaur'' and ''Unknown Iron Ore'' were the most popular items at this auction. ''The vault made by Michelangelo'' I also got my hands on it. The crown that Elise had exhibited was also recovered. great. This is enough. Jinhyuk pulled out an old piece of paper he had put in his pocket. It was a ''subspace inventory combination book'' obtained from the corridor. Materials that exist other than replicas and towers will not come up to platinum or diamond grades, where more than a few dozen tons are stored. ''It can prevent the inconvenience of having to carry it around the body right now.'' That''s enough. [''Heart of an ichthyosaur (A)'', ''Unknown iron ore (B)'', and ''The safe made by Michelangelo (C)'' were used as materials!] [You have successfully combined large-capacity subspace inventory (gold grade +5000kg)!] A yellow subspace inventory appeared with a dazzling light. Finally, I was able to stuff the cumbersome stuff. But right then. crumble. I felt popular among people. ...!? Jinhyuk quickly turned his head. ''Is there anyone out there already?'' The moment I thought so. I met the rabbit eyes that were floating in a pile of rubble. was a little boy He had eyes full of fear and excitement, but somehow, in some way, admiration and emotion. '' Was it a kid?'' Jinhyuk cleared his vigilance. I''ll take it out, so hold on for a second. Don''t move. Yes Yes. The boy nodded his head. That moment. Scratch! The blue-colored dagger cut through the pile of rubble at once. Since the angle at which the fragments were cut was calculated, the boy was safely rescued without any injuries. Oh, thank you. Brother. What, have this much. Jinhyuk smirked as if it was nothing special. Your brother killed those monsters and the bad guys, right? Huh? I saw it before I lost my mind. It''s like, in a Marvel movie. Really... it''s really cool. It''s a Marvel movie. Did you think of it as the Avengers fighting Thanos? Well, in the eyes of the kids, it might look that way. It must have looked like a scene from a movie to wipe out dozens of undead. "I also want to become a strong player like hyung someday and climb the tower. So, when bad guys kill people, they appear like a hero and save people I want to be like that." uhm. Hearing it so openly, it''s a little strange for me. Because it is pure, there is no filtering in the expression of emotions. It doesn''t feel bad though. Because there was no misunderstanding or pretense in expressing my sincere gratitude. ''Sometimes this is not bad.'' Jinhyuk smiled and patted the boy''s head. I had to stop now, just in case someone else wakes up. One thing before that. Well, later when people ask who did it, can you keep it a secret? Jinhyuk gently spread his pinky finger. I''ll never tell you. Heroes can''t be revealed! The boy smiled, too, and his pinky fingers crossed. On the 3rd floor of the Tower of Trials, there are two places that players have not yet reached the end of. One was the boss room on the 3rd floor guarding the way to the 4th floor. Another one right here. Called the ''Cathedral of Hatred'', it is a labyrinth that has destroyed countless raids. However. Contrary to its notoriety, in fact, this labyrinth was attacked long ago. Just by the magicians. Damn, why are you so strict about setting up security here? We''re going to get hit with this. A slender woman grunted at the discovery. There was a lot of anger in the conversation. yea that''s the way it is Barriers and traps installed in layers to prevent players from approaching. There were a lot of high-ranking undead monsters that made it impossible to let go of tension, even for demons familiar with the geography here. Stop complaining, Melena. I''m already feeling bad about that stupid doctor. The Asian man who was walking next to Melena clicked his tongue. It''s not that big, but the cold energy that it exudes from its body is no less than a large monster. Liqiao. Do I have to pay attention to whether it''s comfortable or uncomfortable for you to plant? It would be nice if you didn''t want to die. Funny, that word. It looks like you''re stronger than me, doesn''t it? Melena also received Li Qiao''s gaze head-on. It wouldn''t be strange to take out a weapon right away. Both of you, just go there. A low, heavy voice interrupted. A man in a black hood Unlike Melina and Li Qiao, a red inverted cross was embroidered on her right shoulder. And the Roman numeral VII was overlaid on it. All right. Sheesh! At the command they dared not disobey, the two reluctantly nodded their heads. Melena and Lichao had been working together outside the tower for 10 years, but they were always anxious to eat each other. Seriously, it might be contradictory to say that the demons get along well with each other. Apocalyptic cults indulged in pseudo-religion, pleasure killers who became mercenaries to kill, monsters who can throw away their humanity for money. Because it was a group formed by people who did not like to be bound by law and order. By the way, no matter how poor Alex''s skills are, I don''t understand why he lost even when he had so much wealth. Li Qiao opened his mouth. "Well, Jinhyuk Kang is probably one of the dead. If that''s the case, he''d be on a similar level to the rankers out there." Don''t be vigilant. Maybe he''s gone to a higher place than us. At the words of the man in the hood, a gust of wind escaped from their mouths. Hey, no way. Even the executives who went up to the 20th floor of the tower were treated like crazy. Did you go higher than that? I also think it''s a bit of an exaggerated assumption. It''s us, the virtual reality world as part of avoiding the eyes of Interpol and the CIA. [ Since I chose the Tower of Trials, I know a lot more about the Tower than others... ] That''s right. Don''t the other guys have a special reason for that? Because there''s no way they''re going to hide in virtual reality to avoid the puppies'' eyes. [11 years since the Tower of Trials was released.] However, most people quit the game in less than three years. It''s a natural thing. Even people who enjoyed the extreme difficulty couldn''t waste their time on something beyond the limit. You have to have a taste that grows and gets better, even a little, so you can endure boredom. There could be a fool who would throw his life away in the boredom that repeats without a purpose. But why? A strange tension lingered on the man''s face. The intuition and instinct that made him rise to the position of an executive of the Mine Association. And beyond that, fear continued to send warnings. You should never underestimate Kang Jin-hyuk. don''t be careless That''s what even the stupidest bastards do. if so . You two go with Cadrick. Even if there is only one possibility, you have to trample on it. The last gate on the 3rd floor of the Tower of Trials. Jinhyuk stood in front of the only road to the 4th floor. Uh-huh... I took a long breath. ''All preparations are complete.'' I put all of the items that Lee Yu-ri asked for in the subspace inventory, and made the physical condition and mana in the best state. All that is left is to open your own broadcasting channel before the boss battle. ''If you think about the future, you should collect as many coins as possible.'' This bottom will soon become a serious red ocean due to the condition that only the first video viewed in 24 hours will be counted. The good guys can sweep the coins, but it means that it will be difficult for non-named players to get 10 views even for a hundred days. So, you have to get a seat before that. And you have to kick the ladder. to prevent competitors from coming up. ''Let''s have a little trouble today.'' It was only in this boss raid that the broadcast was turned on to attract people''s aggro, but Jinhyuk was planning not to broadcast live as much as possible in the future. Exporting as-is without editing was dangerous in many ways. ''If you can imprint everyone smartly on the first broadcast, it''s enough to replace it with uploading a video afterwards.'' It also meant that if you wipe the first one well, the next one will be easier. But at that time. Jinhyuk was thinking about the name of the channel and suddenly a painful and bitter memory came to mind. ''Colonel Timo can''t.'' That''s never going to happen. I just wanted to get out of that nightmare. Jinhyuk bit his fingers. He prided himself on knowing more about the Tower of Trials than anyone else, but only one. No matter how hard I tried, my naming sense didn''t improve. How many minutes have passed? A name flashed through Jinhyuk''s mind like lightning. ...Unknown. Words spit out like a mumble. OK. [Channel name ''Unknown''?] A status window appears asking for confirmation. Yeah. I''ll do that. When you cleared the Labyrinth of Rivarinto, the system recommended a code name of Unknown to protect your identity. A word meaning ''unknown''. At the time, I thought it was because I liked it, but now that I think about it, I think I really like the name. ''Actually, the main concept is to hide your identity behind a mask.'' [Your personal channel has been created!] [Channel name ''Unknown''!] [The broadcast function is activated.] [Real-time streaming is only available when fighting boss monsters on each floor.] Current BJ Rating: General (90% commission applied) Viewers: 0/1,000 Subscribers: 0 pounding! pounding! pounding! Jinhyuk''s heart started beating fast. "What is it that makes you nervous?" In the past, the very concept of live streaming was vague. so much [This was due to the small number of people playing the Tower of Trials.] Virtually the first live broadcast in my life. I would be lying if I said I didn''t tremble. ; Boss Battle of the Tower of Trials 3F: Today''s broadcast shows how the dead person who was first used to attack. If the title is hung like this, I think it will attract enough aggro. ''Well then, let''s go slowly now.'' One last time, Jinhyeok checked to see if the mask engraved with geometric patterns was properly worn. jerk. And he moved towards the other side of the swaying gate. CH 56 End of Level 3, Heartless Army (2) uuung! When his darkened vision returned, all the scenery in front of him had completely changed. A place reminiscent of reddish autumn leaves and an old-fashioned oriental temple. This was the battlefield at the end of the third floor and the main stage of this raid. [A new challenger has appeared in the area of the ''Heartless Army'' on the 3rd floor.] Status window that appears when entering the boss monster''s room. After seeing this, I started to realize that the time to finally meet ''the guys'' has come. ''I''ll be crazy busy for a few days.'' The melee was his own, but this raid required more than that. jerk. Jinhyuk slowly moved towards the outskirts of the temple. Before entering their realm, there were tasks that had to be resolved first. ''After all, the autumn leaves here deserve to be evaluated as the best in the tower.'' Superb view is what we are talking about here. The vast autumnal forest spanning several tens of kilometers was beautiful. But it wasn''t just about looking outside to see the autumn leaves. ''I was definitely here... .'' Jinhyuk''s eyes moved quickly. trees that look alike. Among them, there is a special tree that is different from the others. ''found!'' Jinhyuk stood tall in his seat. It is called a human face tree, and it is a giant tree that has a human face instead of a knot hole. It was a tree that was quite popular among people because it had been uploaded to the community a few times. Just when Jinhyuk was about to approach the tree. [[''Hakko Exploration Specialist''] You have entered.] -Hako Exploration Specialist: I came here because I was caught in a pest control. What kind of hogu came to the boss room that wasn''t even planned to attack a large guild? The first viewers entered. However, the viewer who saw Jinhyuk''s face immediately spit out cursing. -Hako Exploration Specialist: Ha, this bastard also wears a mask and turns it off. Why are there so many people with the same concept these days as if they were filmed in a factory? I''m going [[''Hakko Exploration Specialist''] You have left.] Well . It seems that the number of people wearing masks is increasing these days. Seeing him react so sharply. Of course, I understand. Because attracting aggression was an essential virtue that novice broadcasters should have. And especially, if it was a player wearing a mask who attacked the corridor, it was definitely a character that everyone would have their eyes on. It wasn''t difficult to find a similar mask. at that time. [[''Biscuits are the future''] You have entered.] [[''People over white water''] You have entered.] Another viewer came in. This time it''s two. It also exudes the smell of a rather long broadcast string. -Biscuits are the future: Hmmmm What is Viewtube Algorithm? Did it show up in a related search because it was a broadcast on the 3rd floor? -Tsusu on top of Baeksu: I saw that too and came in ?? As expected, King Tube! -Biscuits are the future: Wow. But it''s the first time I''ve ever seen a solo challenger. smart! excuse me. Are you crazy human? Don''t you know that this is a place where a 100-player raid will be embarrassed even if it comes to hoxy? -Two on top of Baeksu: If you are a lost young elk, shake your hips left and right! I''ll let you know the way out. Conversations mixed with laughter ensued. ''cute.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. Seeing the audience chattering like this reminded me of the BJ in the past, and it seemed like I was going to fall into memories after a while. ''Yes. This is broadcasting.'' Viewers make fun of the newbie BJ they see for the first time. BJ wins the hearts of viewers at once with his skills. So I was already looking forward to it. How will the attitude of these guys change? Jinhyuk ignored the two of them and approached Inmyeonmok''s nose. -Biscuits are the future: Huh? Is that face-to-face? -Two on top of Baeksu: Actually, there are still occasional ones. Those who are hoping for the lottery and challenging the quiz of the tower. -Biscuits are the future: Who doesn''t watch View Tube at all? If you''ve seen other players do it, you''d know it''s impossible. I had to get all three quizzes given by Inmyeonmok to get a reward. Occasionally, there will be people who get one question right, but no one has come up with more than two questions so far. Even explorer players who enjoy exploring the interior of the tower rather than climbing it. For this reason, this tree was completely ignored. Until Jinhyuk arrives today. kukukuku! It was then that Inmyeonmok turned his body to and fro. Keek-kul-kul! You''re only human after a long time. His pumpkin-colored eyes looked straight at Jinhyuk. At the same time, a voice that felt the age of innocence came out of his bizarrely twisted mouth. Did you also come here to solve my quiz? That''s the way it is. Then take a look at some tasty problems. ???????????? Jinhyuk lay down on the fluffy fallen leaves. It''s nice because it''s soft. It feels like being buried in a natural mattress? It was also a bonus to rest his chin with his right hand and pick his ear with his left hand. Seeing that, Inmyeonmok let out a scream. What, what are you doing? Huh? How dare you take such a rude attitude in front of someone! If you offend me, I might throw out a problem that I can''t even touch! "Ah this? Sorry, I have to be comfortable in my body to focus well, so don''t worry about any problems." This profit! -Two on top of the white water: Hahahaha Wow. I got the concept to come. -Biscuits are the future: I''ve never seen the anger of the players who make fun of them every day. [[''Pizza sweet and sour pork john matteng''] You have entered.] -Pizza sweet and sour pork John Matteng: What is this room? -Tetsu on top of white water: Oh. new viewers. It''s a room with a lot of fun. -Biscuits are the future: It''s a bit unique. The player is the Ssang My Way concept. [[''Sae Young Eon Hwan''] You have entered.] -Tsu over Baeksu: Oh, you came in again. -Biscuits are the future: Hey. This room is fine. But what does your nickname mean? - Sae Young Eon Hwan: The new hero is always Shadow! -Pizza sweet and sour pork john matteng: What kind of concept is this again? Are you eating during the day? gradually increasing number of viewers. The start isn''t bad. Above all, it was the most positive signal that viewers who came in continued to watch without leaving. Because it meant that this broadcast was worth investing enough time to watch. at that time. Okay. If you answer all three questions, I''ll give you any maple leaf I have. Inmyeonmok swallowed his anger and answered. Isn''t your voice too shaky to pretend to be cool? You can clearly see that it is boiling inside. Can''t we go back later and say something else? You said you''d give me whatever you want from the maple leaves you have? What do you see me as! In honor of the tree spirit, I will always keep the promise I made once! Hmm. If you say that, I''ll believe you. I even made the oath of the spirit, so I won''t go back and change my words later. Then I will ask you the first question. Answer the optimum depth and optimum temperature for the seawater species ''Kel''Gorn''. Naturally, there should be no error. Haikou is located on the 7th floor of the Tower of Trials. The monster that inhabits there is Kel''Gorn. -Two over white water: Wow, you''re crazy from the first question. I''ve heard of a monster called Kel''Gorn. I know the temperature of the water depth. -Biscuits are the future: the correct answer! It lives very deep. -Pizza sweet and sour pork john matteng: It seems cold because it is in ice water. One 5 degrees? -5 degrees? Oh I don''t know. - Sae Young Eon-Hwan: It''s just a matter of saying it''s wrong. Viewers responded that they were bored. However. The depth is 175 m and the water temperature is 1.5 degrees. Jinhyuk immediately answered. ''How many times have I snorkeled there, I don''t know.'' In the midst of being impressed by Disney''s Little Mermaid, after cosplaying a mermaid, I got bored of freediving. So I know it well. Water depth and temperature, as well as the ever-changing current flow. " " His pupils dilated rapidly. His mouth widened as if he was at a loss for words. next. I haven''t told you it''s the right answer yet... It''s not the right answer, so I''ll do the next one. Use your brain. ...Okay. Then, let''s talk about the second problem. How can a player take Feliani''s spongy body... Just put the ''Sunlight Desert Salt'' and ''Holy Water Made by the Priest Who Finished the Second Appetizer'' in a pot and cook the white wood growing in the winter cave with firewood for 5 hours. Very slowly over low heat. " " Again this is the correct answer. The face of Inmyeonmok hardened even more. I thought I had selected only really difficult questions, but isn''t my opponent getting it right too easily? Now there is only one chance left. The range of questions given to Inmyeonmok is up to the 10th floor of the tower. However, this is not the time to pursue fairness or rules. It was because the pride of being the greatest old tree on the 3rd floor and covering a lot of knowledge was in danger of being crushed. The last question! The giant eagles of ''Sky Plateau'' only mate once a year. What month is that? -Tsu above Baeksu: Sky Plateau? are you still there? -Biscuits are the future: I''ve never heard of it either. A monster called the Giant Eagle. -Pizza sweet and sour pork john matteng: Wow. face tree. I think you''ll get it all right, so I think you''ve raised a strange problem? - Sae Young Eon-Hwan: If you look at everything you don''t know, it doesn''t seem like the area on the lower floors of the tower That''s it. Yes. The sky plateau is located on the 15th floor of the tower. Moreover, since it is located on the highest place among the 15th floor, it was a place that even the most famous people had never been to. You''ll never get this right. As all players have done so far, that cheeky person will also be frustrated and despair. It was a natural and inevitable result. Yes, Obviously it should have been... . November 17. When the first snow falls on the tower. I heard an answer that should never come out. Uh, how... Who the hell are you? Who is it that you know all this! Inmyeonmok shook his whole body violently. Kukuku! Tree branches swayed, and numerous autumn leaves flew in the air. I''m not a great person. I''m just a dead guy who likes to wander around the tower. Laugh...don''t be fooled. There''s no way a human being can answer all of my problems. Don''t get too excited. If you stay calm, I''ll tell you something you don''t know. I don''t know? Yeah. Apparently, you seem to know that giant eagles only mate once a year, isn''t it? That giant eagles can mate twice when their numbers run out, after supplementing them with a special diet? Gee, are you really saying that''s possible? What the heck... it''s not like I''m eating... uhhhhhhhhh! Inmyeonmok hurriedly cleared his voice. But, it was late. Because the true heart that was already inside came out. -Two over white water: Whew! It''s the first time I''ve seen someone break through this quiz. -Biscuits are the future: Wow, does this make sense? I''m not some Naver intellectual. Are you completely threading it? -Pizza sweet and sour pork john matteng: It looks like completely rotten water. tired It really seems like a godsend to have entered this room. -Two over white water: ?j. Thanks to you, I think we can see the reward for the first time. - Sae Young Eon-Hwan: What are you going to choose? If you pass the face-to-face quiz, you will be given the right to choose one of the special items he owns. Red leaves give fire properties. Yellow leaves strengthen the defense. Finally, the green leaf had the effect of increasing the movement speed. -Biscuits are the future: Of course, red maple leaves that increase attack power. The raid team also took the quiz like crazy to get those leaves and attack the 4th floor. - Sae Young Eon Hwan: I would rather choose yellow leaves. Defense is essential to withstand them. -Tetsusu over white water: bb. If it doesn''t fit at all, it''s enough to raise it with green leaves. transfer! transfer! transfer! Unknown older brother, let''s go into this world! -Biscuits are the future: Dak-gong for men! Duck! Duck! - Sae Young Eon Hwan: Uh huh, what are you talking about! Defense is the pride of a man! The chat window was very messed up. The situation is certain to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Their chat will also be revealed, so of course they can''t help but be excited. Come on, tell me. What do you want from the two of them? The face was rekindled. The attention of the viewers was also focused. Depending on which one you choose, the game of the 3rd floor boss battle will change completely. But. A lot of trashy maple leaves are used to hide your head. Do you have black leaves? Give me those. The words that came out of Jinhyuk''s mouth again overturned everyone''s expectations. CH 57 . End of Level 3, Heartless Army (3) Hey, black leaves? Inmyeonmok stuttered. It was because a word that was not expected at all came out. It was the same for the viewers who were watching. -Biscuits are the future: What? Aren''t there 3 leaves that you can get as a reward? What are black leaves? -Tsusu on top of Baeksu: If you see Inmyeonmok astonishing, is it like a hidden reward? -Pizza sweet and sour pork john matteng: Wow, how the hell did you know about that? There was no such talk in the community at all. - Sae Young Eon-Hwan: It makes sense to know information that others do not know if it is an oil-level deceased. -Biscuits are the future: Does it make sense? Why doesn''t the petroleum class go solo? You must belong to a large guild. - Sae Young Eon Hwan: Why? there is one A deceased person who does not belong anywhere and travels alone. -Tsu on top of white water: No way. -Pizza sweet and sour pork john matteng: Uh !? Yes. Actually, there is one. The strongest player who cleared the corridor alone while wearing a mask. However, it was difficult to immediately accept that possibility. Because there were so many memories of being caught by thousands of fakes. But what if it''s true? What if you really came to that player''s channel through the worst odds? - Sae Young Eon-Hwan: Above all else, if not that, this situation doesn''t make sense. Do you know everything about the tower and know all the hidden rewards? How many such people are there in the world? Anyone who knows the tower this well... . no doubt Doubt soon turned to certainty. -Pizza sweet and sour pork john matteng: huh huh? Steamed with real? -Turn over white water: Woo ? manra aaa. Unknown HyungNim is a real fan! I watch the corridor attack video 12 times a day. -Biscuits are the future: First of all, I will take off my pants and put them on to greet me. Chat window changed 180 degrees. However, Jinhyuk let the chatting chatter over one ear. Because I already knew this kind of reaction would come. Hey, how do you know about black leaves? It doesn''t matter how I know, I just pass it on. But... that''s it! Inmyeonmok''s voice became urgent. ''Corruption'' Black leaves that work. However, to make black leaves, all the remaining leaves must be dried and killed. This means that you will never be able to take quizzes with players again. Now, don''t come here and make excuses. You said it with your mouth. I''ll give you whatever you have. Have you already forgotten that you shouted out the spirit''s honor or promise? ah please I shouted so loudly, but I won''t change my mind. ...Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Instead, if there is anything else, I will do anything. I don''t need it. All I want is a black leaf. As long as you are streaming live, now everyone will know about the existence of various leaves. As time goes on and more information about the tower spreads, people who pass the quiz will also appear. ''I can''t leave it like that.'' Even after that, you can''t let someone else get a maple leaf enchanted with attribute enchantments. ''Items that I do not use should not be used by others.'' That''s perfectly normal and correct play. Jinhyuk held out his palm. There is no room for compromise. at last. Passus... . All the reddish autumn leaves that covered Inmyeonmok''s head were all burned to black. [You answered all 3 questions asked by Inmyeonmok!] [You have acquired Black Leaves ( 1280)!] [Black Leaf] Acquisition Difficulty: AAA Description: ''Corruption'' when used for weapons or armor Attribute special effects (inflicts additional damage equal to 1% of target''s total health per 3 minutes when attacked). The caster does not take damage, and only enemies are affected by the Corruption effect.] great. Finally, I have collected all the final puzzles. " " Jinhyuk turned to the temple, leaving behind his face, who was 1000 years older. A temple with a nostalgic atmosphere. Jinhyuk chose the east entrance out of a total of four entrances, east, west, north, and south. -Biscuits are the future: The east is dangerous. Isn''t this the most difficult one? -Two over white water: ???. At the other entrance, you can see even the four-story stone pagoda, but the east side is hell from the entrance. -Pizza sweet and sour pork John Matteng: Why did you deliberately choose the most difficult one? Why did you choose the most difficult place? there''s nothing wrong with it ''Because the East is the most fun.'' That''s why I used this route the most. After trying and challenging hundreds of times, thousands of times, countless times, my body remembers me even if I hate it. How do I get to the boss? Jinhyuk pulled out a reddish dagger. At the same time. kukuku kuk kuk! Sotdae, which stood on both sides of the entrance, began to vibrate violently. It is intended to activate a defense mechanism in response to the intruder. Oooh! Gree... It was then that the stone statues lined up along the wall moved. 1m-sized stone statues made of rocks all looked at Jinhyuk. -Biscuits are the future: Damn, it''s here too. Those damn statues. -Turn over white water: To destroy the lifestone, it''s terribly tough. -Pizza sweet and sour pork john matteng: It''s the size of a fingernail, but it''s constantly moving inside the body, so it''s impossible to find the stone statue itself unless you shatter it. This is why the stone statues are so difficult. You have to destroy the lifestone, but you don''t know where the lifestone itself is, and it even keeps moving. In addition, the attack power and movement speed of the stone statue itself was so fast and accurate that it was trembling. A total of seven stone statues surrounded Jinhyuk. He clenched his fists and gradually narrowed the siege. kuung! bang! The battle began with the sound of breaking the wind. The stone statues quickly narrowed the distance. ''come.'' Jinhyuk lightly loosened his arms and legs. If you want to destroy the elaborately crafted admissions team, you have to stop breathing from them. First right. Attacks aimed at the top are simple and straightforward, but have destructive power that cannot be ignored. This should be avoided. Jinhyuk lowered his center of gravity. Boo Woong! Almost at the same time as your fist cuts through the air. This time, a kick aimed at the back flew. The elaborate and piercing separation () loses its power instead. Kaaaah! Jinhyuk raised his dagger and was attacked head-on. Distinguish between what to avoid and what to avoid. And in a series of storms, Jinhyuk slowly began to look for the moment when the opponent''s breath collapsed. -Biscuits are the future: And avoid all that. Crazy, move. -Twice over white numbers: Is this enough to memorize almost every pattern? - Sae Young Eon-Hwan: As expected, the level of those who have been dragged out by aggression as a dead person is quite different. -Pizza sweet and sour pork John Matteng: 5252, I believed it! At this rate, it might be possible to break through the entrance to the east gate. Of course, it will take a long time to destroy the Lifestone as I am alone. It was an incredible achievement just the fact that it was successful. But. Viewers were at a loss for words to stop at the scene that followed. -Biscuits are the future: this... is it real? -Twice over Baeksu: There is no replay function here? -Pizza sweet and sour pork john matteng: What the hell did I see? now? The stone statue stopped moving. Immediately, fragments fell like a puppet whose thread had been cut. There''s only one case where this happens. Only when the lifestone is destroyed. kwaduk. Jinhyuk pulled a dagger from the stone statue''s shoulder. Then I saw a lifestone cut in half. ''Lifestone has a tendency to go in the opposite direction to the direction they attack.'' Attacking with the right arm moves to the left arm, and attacking with the right leg moves to the left leg. It must be because of the instinct to somehow hide the weakness. And the exact location was found by the subtle shaking of the stone and exhausting experience. ''It was never a waste of time to go through hardship in the past.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. Thanks to this, the fight that was expected to take an hour no matter how small the fight ended. in just 3 minutes. [Currently participating viewers: 38,350] Within 30 minutes of the broadcast, 38,000 viewers had already gathered. it''s incredibly fast Especially considering it''s the first broadcast. - Dead Person Identification Center: The more I look at it, the more creepy it gets. I really don''t know if the boss fight can be successful, right? -Tetsu over white water: It''s possible. I started watching this hyung as soon as it aired, but I just believed and watched it. -dead998: Hey, the elite raids of large guilds also clear the failed ones alone? Raids were originally created to overcome the shortcomings of solo. -Big Pie: I agree with this. It''s not that each role is divided for nothing, such as Tang, Kwangdil, Aggro, Heal, etc. -End of life: ?j. Besides, the named monsters haven''t come out yet. Opinions mixed with pessimism that there was no expectation and that it was not too early crossed. at that time. It doesn''t matter whether you believe it or not, but I''d like you to stop talking nonsense because it''s crazy. Jinhyuk scratched his head as if annoyed. -Big Pie: Huh? Did you say something to us? -Ungamat Curry: Oh, no. Would you have done that to the viewers without losing your mind? -You''re good at anger management: That''s right. Because that person will know that if you ignore the viewers, you lose your subscribers. You''re right. just quietly watch Because I have no intention of making the viewers feel. You can go out if you want to go out, you can watch if you want to see. But keep in mind one thing. I''m the owner of this channel, not you. There are definitely such players. Giving viewers all sorts of blasphemy in order to increase the number of views. They try to give them anything they want and give them anything, and the player becomes a docile sheep. Of course, the number of views definitely goes up. It''s okay to listen to everything they want. However. If you are dragged around like that, you won''t be able to do what you want to do. ''They''re stupid.'' If the main audience is evangelism, no matter how high the number of views is, it will be useless. Jinhyuk was planning to run the channel in a completely different way from those hogus. A strategy that only the deceased knows. overwhelming skill. If these two support you... . ''You don''t have to be dragged around by the viewers.'' After all, if you provide only high-quality content that is differentiated from others, viewers will be attached to it. ''Maintaining the concept is much more important.'' Yes, that was the core that the ''unknown'' player should have. And just as Jinhyuk predicted. -Kang Ho-doo: I caught this hyung''s concept here hahaha. - Deadline Life: Wow, so chic. Is it double my way? -Team over Baeksu: It''s normal to feel bad, but something doesn''t feel bad. what is this? am i a pervert -Gwanjjak songdumchitdumchit: Ha ha ha ha ha annoy me more - Sae Young Eon-Hwan: Honestly, it''s worthy of pride. I think it''s better because it''s fresh. Viewers felt strangely attracted to the talented and tough player. But it was at that time when the chat window was going up frantically. ''This ?'' Something caught Jinhyuk''s senses. CH 58 . End of Level 3, Heartless Army (4) The gate located on the north side of the temple. A powerful mana was felt there. This is not a large guild raid. Because I nailed it at the meeting saying that I would do it alone. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo An unpleasant energy that sticks to the sticky skin. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. no doubt Necromancer, to be precise, must have come from the Mine Association. ''I''m not even thinking of giving up.'' To unravel the completely twisted schedule of the Mine Association, Cadrick came here with his men. This is going to be fun Broadcast, I''ll turn it on again if I can kill it after a while. Jinhyuk opened his mouth towards the air. -dead998: No, what are you talking about? I''m not an eunuch... It''s a sudden release! -Two on top of white water: Hyung. Can''t you see that the number of viewers is increasing right now? When water comes in, you have to paddle. -Pizza sweet and sour pork john matteng: ??. 1 million view tubers each came out hard. -Death Identification Center: Is there a BJ who beats indulgence at this important timing? - Sae Young Eon Hwan: Tell me at least what time you will turn it on again. Viewers were just trying to add fun to the show and get used to Jinhyuk''s concept. Of course, the backlash is bound to be fierce. I don''t know what time it will turn on again, so please come in. -dead998: How to induce subscription notification settings like this? -Pizza sweet and sour pork john matteng: I''m trying to get everything I need while catching the sloppy concept. - Sae Young Eon Hwan: I like the selfish side. If it''s a deceased person, so be it. -Stock Identification Center: Fish once. I''m looking forward to the boss raid. End of that chat. [The broadcast has ended.] The first broadcast is over. The chat window that was going up frantically quickly stopped. I''m more tired than I thought. Jinhyuk scratched his head. I thought that I was quite used to broadcasting after living in BJ for a long time. Leading a few dozen people and running a riot of tens of thousands are at different levels. You''ll get used to it though. Because no one was famous from the start. Now that your eyes are gone, it''s time to play with Cadrick in earnest. ''Please, I hope you prepare hard enough to fall off your spine.'' It''s because my personality is a little twisted. It was so much fun to demolish a tower that others worked hard to build. Even more so if the subject is garbage. The north gate of the temple, Taehwamun. Dozens of necromancers were struggling to reach the four-story stone pagoda where the key to the inner chamber was stored. We had been pushing for almost an hour already, but the road hardly opened. It was because the stone statues had a very thick defensive wall. Gather your troops! You have to break through with one point! Cadrick put a strap around his neck. I''m pouring mana, but I can''t help but feel frustrated because the results aren''t coming out. If it dragged on like this, all the necromancers would be exhausted before going to the boss. Oh, I see! Put Durahan at the forefront! Guys with high defense must attract aggro! I put a curse on it, and pour everything that has debuffs on it! [Cadric activates Lv5 ''Night of the Dead''!] [Johan activates Lv3 ''Weakening''!] [Setsuna activates Lv2 ''Fatigue''!] Keeek! Kee! The undead army roared wildly. Most of them were skeleton warriors or archers, but occasionally, medium-sized monsters of Durahan class were also seen. ''Certainly, it''s delicious to see.'' Jinhyuk took out the popcorn and cola that he had kept in the subspace inventory. It''s not common to see spectacular scenes collide with each other. In particular, the group battle of the Necromancers, who were specialized in guiding the majority, was truly spectacular. Oooh! Kuuuu! There were over hundreds of small stone statues that were knocked down at the entrance. It''s different from when they swung their fists and legs. Armed with armor, shields, and spears, it looked like a complete army. right then KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The first row collided. Aww! Oooh! Bone dust flies and rocks fall apart. different armies. However, the goal was to wipe out the opponent. A battle in which it was difficult to identify Pia continued. How many minutes have passed? The tight balance began to lean to one side. Very subtle, but hard to ignore. ''Oh. Do you want to break through?'' Surprisingly, the necromancers and the undead army are doing well. Should it be said that they are like those who hit the battalion with the intention of dying? Even obsession was felt in his poisonous eyes. Hmm... That''s a bit difficult. It''s not very pleasant for Cadrick to get the key here. Of course, even if I did get a key, it wouldn''t be enough to affect the general public. ''Because it''s enough for me to receive the spotlight of this raid.'' Eliminating competitors early is probably the answer. Whoops. Jinhyuk stood up. I don''t know if either side is overwhelming, but if the two are in a similar situation. just a little... . Even the slightest intervention will destroy the tense balance in an instant. ''I''ll have to aim at the most painful place.'' I''ve already checked where to stab the opponent to shed tears of blood. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Jinhyuk gathered mana. And that moment. A new variable has entered the battlefield. What, what? The Necromancer, who was frantically using black magic, breathed in the wind. I was surprised for two reasons. The first is that a human suddenly appeared from the side. And the second reason is that the sword protruded from the sword that the person was holding, so much that it made my eyes ache. The shield must be unfolded. This increases the chance of survival by even 1%. In an instant, a black curtain spread around the Necromancer''s body. He activated the best defensive skill possible. Of course, such a piece of glass... . But it was mana. uh? Scratch! Blood gushed out from the cleanly cut throat. The man who had lost his head staggered a few steps before falling back. A few seconds had passed since the necromancers noticed Jinhyuk''s existence. It is also at the time when Jinhyuk took the sword to save mana consumption. Like a joke of fate, in the eyes of the Necromancers, the installation looked like a fire moth with only a single dagger. It''s a surprise! Are you a player? How many? I''m alone. There''s no one around! It''s ridiculous. What are you going to do with this number of people alone? At least one fly. All you have to do is organize it right away and focus on the battle again. Kill it! With an annoying command, the skeleton archers'' bows headed towards Jinhyuk. The protests were pulled tight. Poison, Frost, Fire. Magic arrows, each with three properties, were fired at the same time. But just before the arrow hits. kukukuku! [Lv2 ''Ice Sculpting'' is activated!] [''Blessing of the Stars'' is activated!] A different mana rose up. The ice pillars engraved with snowflakes smashed all the arrows that had flown. A thick layer of ice was scattered. Great. What kind of cold... The necromancers bit their molars and stepped back. It was such a terrible cold that all the hairs on his body were raised. In addition, some of the higher undead were out of control due to the light pouring from the sky. Aww! The Durahans frantically swung their axes and began to smash everything they could see. Aaaaah! Why are these madmen attacking us? Focus on controlling intent again. All of these guys lost their minds because of divine power! Sa, save me! A battlefield where order and control collapsed in an instant. This is a declaration of war to Cadrick. ''Because I pressed the doorbell hard. Let''s try to serve guests properly.'' Cadrick, who commanded all the troops at the very rear, was properly feeling as if he was going to hell after being in heaven. Even if that damn bastard shows up, does he have to show up at the worst time? Victory has already been won. If you push a little further, you should be able to get the key hidden inside the four-story stone pagoda. There was only one step left to reach the goal. However. With the masked player, the whole plan was completely immersed in mud. Cat, Cadrick-nim. Even the third base has been smashed. It is certain that they are only aiming at the bases on purpose. If this is the case... Skeleton or Durahhan can''t stop it at all. Four bases were created to efficiently maintain undead monsters. Precious intermediaries that made it possible to supply simple mana were collapsing one by one. Aww! Cadrick groaned. A fever really isn''t just a puncture. Currently, there are three Death Knights that have invested a huge amount of resources here. It was a secret weapon brought with him to deal with players who use swords and even boss monsters. The problem was that the other party knew that fact and used it. This way, this way! Jinhyuk, who had been ravaging the base, went to the stone statues this time. And I sang something with all my might. It is a large-scale species with the strongest mana among the stone statues. It was the ''Moai Stone Statue''. Can you catch me only when it explodes so slow? After Jinhyuk provoked his opponent, this time he dug into the middle of the undead. Oooh! Aww! A huge stone statue with only one face soared high into the sky. A dark shadow fell over the undead monsters and necromancers. Aww! Why are you here, you idiot! Damage! If you hit it, you die instantly! The moment when screams and shouts come and go. Moai statues fell. Aww! A huge crater formed on the ground as if a meteorite had collided. There''s no need to say what the undead monsters and necromancers underneath would have been. sure. Jin-hyeok, who caused this incident, was alive and well. Hey, it''s going to hurt. No matter how strong my bones are, I can''t stand this. Too much calcium intake can''t solve the problem. As if they had osteoporosis, the bones of the skeletons had turned into very fine powder. Again, not a normal undead. If you want to stop the Moai statue, you will have no choice but to send in the Death Knight. Cadrick will have no choice but to fall into a dilemma. ''If you aim at me, the entire army can collapse in an instant, but if you leave it alone, it will slowly wither and die like this.'' Either way, there was no bright future for him. at last. Unbearable, Caedric shouted at Jinhyuk. "This this child. What kind of enemy do you have with us, so you sprinkle ashes on cooked rice like this?" Huh? We didn''t do you any harm. But, why do you burn seconds every time you do this! Oh. was that story Jinhyuk shrugged as if asking why he was asking something that was obvious. This is the place where I first spit. But when you guys come and try to swallow the candies that have been smeared with saliva, of course you have to sprinkle red pepper powder. Besides, what kind of candles are these guys called Majin arguing over? Inside the dungeon, ''Haha, I took this seat first.'', ''Oh, that''s right. I didn''t know. After hunting, reserve a seat.'' What, do you want something like this? Where is that? Is this the floor where the person who eats first can get hit in the back at any time? The weak die and are buried; the strong survive and climb the tower. That was the only rule allowed by the Tower of Trials. Don''t whine, and if you have any complaints, speak up. Jinhyeok flicked his finger at Caedric. CH 59 . End of Level 3, Heartless Army (5) Don''t keep provoking. If we fight properly, we will suffer a lot of damage, but you won''t be able to survive here either. Cadrick tried to quell his anger. Even just hearing his voice, I can''t help but get angry because I''m being provoked by a blue kid. Yeah. Old man. I understand that he has a lot of undead troops and prepared a lot, so stop overusing your teeth. They say that implants cost a lot of money these days. This... this one! motherfucker! I''ll kill you! Cadrick''s face flushed red. At the same time, a gigantic mana erupted from the staff held in both hands. Kukuku! [Cadric activates his unique ability, Graveyard of the Black Graveyard!] [The special skill ''Guardian of the Pyramid'' is activated!] Cat, Cadrick-nim! If you use it here! There will be no mana left to face the boss monster! Necromancers shouted urgently. But it''s already too late. Because Cadrick, who was full of thoughts of tearing and killing his opponent, didn''t hear anything. Shut up and obey my orders! Even if the boss fight fails, if only that masked guy could be killed! The Mine Association also has something to say. No problem. Now all I have to do is focus on killing that heinous bastard. kukuku kuk kuk! It was then that the ground began to crack. Aww! Kieek! New undead arose from the ground. The mummies wrapped their whole body in bandages. The splendid armor made of gold and jewels and the unique Egyptian crescent-shaped sword stood out. Heh Eok! Heo Eok! Heo Eok... Cadrick''s heart fluttered. His complexion turned pale due to consuming a large amount of mana, but his face was filled with a sense of accomplishment that he had accomplished it. The ability to summon the Pharaoh''s bodyguard... Seeing something like this... . Sometimes I think it''s pointless to run wild on my own. You mean that Necromancers and Summoners are all entrusting their subordinates and giving orders from behind? To be honest, I''m envious. what if. If only those subordinates were made up of really useful guys. Even if it''s not a thousand, but a bunch of people who get in the way, it''s just a mess. No, it''s actually worse. The mana consumed to maintain these many bastards is also beyond imagining. You still have that arrogant snout. Good. Let me show you that it''s not just a lot of things. Cadrick once again gathered mana. tsutsutsutsutsu! Tsutsu . I wondered if the wand would glow, then flickered and flickered. mana did not gather as intended. Sheesh! Did you overdo it? Cadrick clicked his tongue briefly. But it was only for a while. Come here. I''m very hungry right now. Cadrick grabbed the neck of the necromancer next to him. "Cat, Cadrick-sama ? Whoops! Vitality absorbed through the palm of your hand. The strangled necromancer twisted his entire body. I tried to get out of it, but to no avail. Because Cadrick couldn''t let go of the prey he got once he got his hands on it. Be quiet... Be quiet. If you struggle, the pain will only lengthen. keep going! Whoops! Turn it off... ahhhh! The screams gradually subsided. Soon, the completely dried up Necromancer''s body crumbled to pieces. It''s disgusting. Weren''t we on the same side? Jinhyuk frowned. Huhu. Of course, we''re on the same side. So, wouldn''t you have dedicated your precious life for our victory? You''re good at talking while killing without consent. Probably, he would agree with you. If you meet him later in the underworld, ask him directly. Cadrick, who was well supplied with mana, stroked the staff. OK. thud! thud! thud! thud! Mira soldiers joined the front line. The front was pushed unilaterally by the Moai statues. However, the tide was turned completely upside down by the new reinforcements. KwaKwang! bang! Spears made of gold made wind holes in the body of the statue. movement like a ruler. Besides, the power is also overwhelming. ''If the heat is gathered, it will be about one Death Knight.'' No matter how much the Moai statue had the power to destroy dozens of undead in a single blow, it could not narrow the power gap like this. How is it? Can you still scream after seeing this? Cadrick smiled confidently. On the other hand, Jinhyuk bit his lip. " " Cadrick trembled with excitement as if he was even more excited. Fuhaha! Have you lost your words? It''s okay. It''s normal to be afraid! Huh? Jinhyuk tilted his head. What is this guy talking about now? "No, I was at a loss for words because it was so ridiculous. Were you really planning to fight the boss monster with just this much?" No matter how good you look, I think it will be wiped out in 5 minutes... . He evaluated it as carefully as possible to avoid getting hurt. If he actually met him, he would be annihilated without even going to the boss monster. However. Despite his heartfelt advice, Cadrick judged all of this to be simply bluff. You''re talking nonsense because you''re in a corner. Well, okay. Let''s end the boring conversation here. Cadrick gave the order instead by gesturing. Kie! Keek! The mummy soldiers roared wildly. The snout was torn lengthwise, and black smoke came out. Kill it. A forest a little far from the temple. At the highest point among the densely towering trees, two men and women perched on a branch, watching the battle. It was Melena and Richao sent from the Mine Association. Hmm. Are you more reckless than I thought? Melena tilted her head. Then Li Qiao answered immediately. The intention of destroying the first base was good, but not getting out after that is stupid. Pop! Well, that''s not courage, it''s stupidity. But what the hell was he thinking that didn''t run away? You must have misjudged the difference in power with your opponent. He would have thought that only Skeleton and Durahan were worth doing, but he was completely wrong. Cadric''s unique ability is much more annoying than that. Black magic that resurrects ancient corpses is definitely worth using. That''s why Cadrick was in charge of this raid. On the other hand. The opponent, whom the executive was so wary of, was quite lax in significance. It''s because you''re so stupid. There''s no need for us to go out. You will be able to organize it well enough in the Cadrick Line. That''s when I thought so. Pants... ! A strange aura emanated from the masked man. Well? What is that? It was not the magic or divine power of the cold attribute that was shown a while ago. ominous and dark aura. The two men''s pupils rapidly dilated in the hideous mana that completely covered the dagger. Come on, are you kidding me? What kind of absurd skill do you have? Melena jumped up from her seat as if in disbelief. It was the same with Li Qiao who was embarrassed. no way . Were you sure you were going to win against that scale? That''s absurd. no matter how strong No matter how confident you are in your skills. Who can guarantee victory against such a large army? gulp! Li Qiao swallowed dry saliva. Due to the battle with the stone statue, half of his power was tied up, and three mana bases were also destroyed. If all of these were traps designed by the opponent. If it had been calculated to provoke Cadrick and be surrounded by himself in the middle of the enemy line... . I didn''t know maybe it would be the worst ending imaginable. [The Tomb of the Sword is activated!] creepy I had goosebumps all over my body. ''Yes, this is it.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. An uplifting feeling that permeates every corner of the body. I liked ''Ice Sculpting'' and ''Blessing of the Stars'', but that''s why I especially liked ''The Tomb of the Sword''. ''General magic or divine-type abilities do not have this thrilling taste.'' This ability to pursue an attack alone without paying any attention to defense was the ability that truly made a dead person look like a dead person. ''Well , was it like this?'' Jinhyuk drew a dagger with black energy left and right. A smooth trajectory continued from point to line. And after a few tries, Finally. ''Five! done.'' A piece of ''Chuhon Sword Dance'' that Cheon Yu-seong learned has been reproduced. [Your understanding of Chuhon Sword (׷ꄦ) increases.] Jinhyeok performed a sophisticated sword dance that could not be compared with before. If Cheon Yu-seong had seen this scene, he would have collapsed with bubbles. Because it was an act of completely ignoring the years of digging a single sword for over 10 years. However, now that the swordsman''s talent has been expressed, such things were not a problem at all. Boo Woong! Boo-woong! The sound of the blowing of the wind gradually softened. Now I know. How did the festival called Chuhon Sword come about? [Your understanding of the Soul Sword rises to a higher level.] How do I properly use the Soul Sword? entire. [Your understanding of the Soul Sword has risen to a very high level!] With the status window that appeared one after another, countless memories flooded into Jinhyuk''s head. And at that very moment. ''Chuhon Sword Dance (׷ꄦ)''. Black flames spread in all directions. ''Equation 5''. The end of the sword that even the heavenly planet could not reach. And beyond that end, the realm of talma. ''Annihilation of the Soul''. The fifth Basic Form, called the essence of the Soul Sword, unfolded here. what . An earthquake struck Cadrick''s pupil. At the same time, the sword crossed horizontally. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The first thing that came was the sword wind. A weapon carrying not only wind, but mana. Therefore, the mummies in the front had no choice but to be helpless. Kieek! Keeek! His whole body was torn to shreds, and blackened flesh poured out. Big! A huge shock was also transmitted to Cadrick''s shield. kuku! Ugh...! The three-layered shield shook like crazy. However, without even having time to catch a breath, the real sword strike of ''Spirit of Souls'' flew. This time, there was no strong pressure on the shield. instead. Scratch! A terrifying roar rang out. Cadrick''s head slowly turned downward. I couldn''t see the arm that I should have shown, of course it should be. Hey, this can''t be... The mummy soldiers were cut to pieces with just one swing of the sword? That''s not enough, so you smashed the shield and cut off your arm? Rumble! My chin trembled involuntarily. Not long ago, I had cursed my disciple, Alex, who had died in vain. Because I didn''t understand why I lost to the undead. However, it is only now that I understand why Alex died doing nothing. This monster cannot be defeated. Running away is the only way to save your life. Death Knight... stop the author right now... Argh! Now, the stone statue was pretty good. Even if it means losing all the other undead and necromancers, you have to get out of here right now. Cadrick picked up his severed arm. And whipping his body just before he fell, he walked towards the north door. No, I was going to walk. "If you want to leave the stage, you should have gotten permission from your opponent first." The voice I didn''t want to hear the most pierced my eardrums. right at that moment. [Black Moon Night (ҹ) is activated.] A black moon fell over Cadrick''s face. CH 60 . Thousands of Cheonan Guanyin (1) Uh, sooner or later... A black moon formed over Cadrick''s pupils. moment of death. Cadrick felt time passing slowly. He didn''t even notice what was coming. At what point did you come? No, did you have the option of running away from the first time we met? It felt like my head was about to explode with all the possibilities and assumptions. And that''s it. Scratch! It was Cadrick''s last thought in this world. kuung! A dead body fell to the floor. Kie-e-e. Keek! When Caedric died, all the undead he used disappeared as a handful of dust. There were still necromancers alive, but they wouldn''t last long. Because the angry statues immediately followed them. Aww! Sa, save me! The battlefield began to be stained with blood. Necromancers who had been hunting unilaterally were reduced to being hunted for prey. And use that gap. ''Ugh. Everyone seems to be busy with something.'' Jinhyeok approached the four-story stone pagoda, where the boundaries were loose. A four-story stone pagoda carved out of huge granite. In front of the safe where the key to the inner chamber was stored, there were three stone statues armed with spears and swords. Oooh! Aww! Originally, considering that there should be more than 10 times the size of the army, the three dogs were like an empty house. Jinhyuk broke his joint. I''d rather not have a brain. I wouldn''t be intimidated if I just showed such an overwhelming skill difference. Just puppets that move as the boss monster orders them. In a way, I even thought that an army that moves without a heart is the strongest army. Jinhyuk picked up the spear and shield that had fallen on the floor. ''It''s easy to fight with this weapon.'' He covers the front with the round shield he holds in his left hand and stretches out a spear through it. It was the posture that I practiced until I got tired of it when I was in the midst of the movie ''300''. Even though I was alone, I couldn''t do a passing match with 300 people like in the movie. He handled the spear and the shield until he got blisters in his hands so that he could achieve maximum efficiency by himself. Oh! Of course, in addition to the spear and shield skills, I practiced one more thing. This is the most important thing. Shall I go? Or will you come? Jinhyeok sat down slowly and got up repeatedly while holding his posture. The point here is to sneak a peek into the loophole. It''s like asking if you won''t come even though you''ve done this for me. Did the provocation work? The stone statues hit the ground at the same time. bang! kwaang! come. Jinhyuk raised his shield at an angle. The beauty of shield art is to disperse the shock. Kaga Gaga! The stone statue''s sword and spear scraped the slope of the shield and passed. ''Now!'' Jinhyeok, who was shocked, turned his body about 360 degrees as it was. kwaang! The spear with rotational force pierced the head of the statue as it was. It''s good to do it almost at the same time. Jinhyuk slammed the spear towards the bridge of the second stone statue. ...is it? The stone statue''s legs broke, and the center of gravity collapsed. It was possible because it aimed precisely at the joint area. You are a contemplative to freeze to death. Tuuk. The spear touched the stone statue''s chest. [Lv2 ''Ice Sculpting'' is activated!] damn! The cold air from the tip of the spear stuck to the stone statue''s chest. A chill that spreads quickly. It took less than 3 seconds for my whole body to freeze. ''This is the second one.'' Now there is only one last one left. Jinhyuk took a basic stance again towards the stone statue that was taking a step back. The spear and shield perfectly shared the offense and defense. By the way. Oh oh oh oh! The stone statue, who screamed, suddenly stretched out his hand toward the stone pagoda. And he took out the golden key that was inside the stone pagoda. what? Are you trying to hand over the key and beg for your life? I thought gulp! The stone statue swallowed the key he was holding in his hand. [The key to the inner room responds.] [Gate is activated!] [The being beyond the gate answers the call.] successive status windows. uuung! The air changed rapidly. "This one was more ambitious than I thought." No way, I''ll sacrifice myself to open the gate. Jinhyuk wet his lips with his tongue. right then kukukuku! A green vortex appeared from the ship of the statue that swallowed the key. He was sacrificing himself to summon the higher level monsters in the inner chamber. Jittery! A completely different mana erupted from before. A difference appeared in Jinhyuk''s eyes because of the life that was passed on to his skin. It''s not because you''re afraid or embarrassed by unexpected situations. pounding! pounding! pounding! I couldn''t control my body heated up in the battle that ended too briskly... . Because I finally got a chance to fight properly. Furthermore. ''If you give up your advantage and come out, I''ll be grateful.'' If it was a named monster that I had to deal with anyway, it was better to face it outside rather than inside the room. After a while, something approached through the shaking gate. jerk. What appeared with the sound of light footsteps was a statue of Kannon with numerous arms. [The named monster ''Tiansu Cheonan Guanyin (ǧǧ^)'' appears!] Hmm. Cheonshui Guanyin looked around slowly. Behind the benevolent smile, a thick, fishy smell of blood wafted out. Then, all of a sudden, his gaze stopped on Jinhyuk. This is surprising. I didn''t know that among the intruders, there would be a human who could threaten even the key in the stone tower. What are you surprised by this much? I''m going to cut down the boss monster here in a few days. Hahaha! A fierce human being. I don''t know about anything else, but I have to acknowledge that one gut. Cheonshui Guanyin burst out laughing as if happily. This is serious, but it sounds like a joke to him. shit. That''s why it''s annoying to fight against intelligent monsters. Because of the effect of ''sympathy'', it made me feel close even if I didn''t intend to. Stop holding on to the weight and run. Because I want to finish quickly and rest. I want to enjoy the conversation with you more, but you aren''t? "I don''t hate chattering either, but instead of a knife and blood, there should be beer and chicken. Take care of this moment as well, little human. When you die, you will miss even this moment. Sreung! Cheonshui Guanyin pulled out a sword from his back. starting with that Sreung! Sreung! Sreung! Countless hands began to hold weapons. Swords, swords, swords, and various types of spears and axes, even mace and bows appeared. This is, well, the level of a fully walking arsenal. In exchange for your cheeky mouth, I''ll cut off the left arm first. Then the left leg. Then the right arm. Sorry, but I really like the position of my limbs. I''m just trying to keep them in their original positions. It looks like it will taste good. That''s why I can''t get tired of you humans. The corners of the Cheonshui Guanyin''s lips rose upwards. tsutsutsu ! Typed living mixed with mana. You shouldn''t think of him on the same line as ordinary stone statues. Jinhyuk lowered his posture as much as possible while covering his body with a shield. To be prepared for any attack at any time. Whoa. Jinhyuk cleared his breathing, waking up all the senses in his body. Nerves sharpened like a knife. From now on, you must not blink an eye. at that time. Paang! the air was torn It was an attack that broke through the speed of sound in an instant, without a propellant. However. ''Left shoulder.'' My body moved faster than I thought. Jinhyuk used his shield to deflect the sword strike. Kak kak kak! As iron and iron collided, a dazzling spark erupted. Oh. An exclamation flowed from the angel''s mouth. This time, he looked like he was really surprised. Why are you surprised? Is this your first time blocking an attack? Responding to the speed of sound... Not seeing and reacting. I''ve already dealt with them countless times, so I''m just memorizing the trajectory and timing of the attack. Of course, that wasn''t something anyone could do. Haha. This is getting more and more interesting. The Cheonshui Guanyin attempted to attack again. This time, the attack is aimed at the left arm and right leg at the same time. ''You can''t defend both with a shield.'' if so . [Lv2 ''Ice Sculpting'' is activated!] Snowflake-shaped ice shields have appeared. kwaduk! It''s a natural story, but this is not enough to stop the attack of the Cheonshui Guanyin. However, slightly twisting the trajectory of the attack... . possible. not possible. Jinhyuk hid himself among the snowflakes in full bloom. Of course, it wasn''t the Cheonshui Gwaneum that I was watching. Where! Immediately nine spears were thrown. KwaKwaKwabang! Ice shields shattered. However, among them, there was not a single spear that hit Jinhyuk. ...obviously, you got it right? I aimed exactly. got it right But why? This also has the effect of distorting the vision. The layers of ice reflected the light, creating an illusion. Jinhyuk, who had dug under the Cheonsu Gwaneum, grabbed the spear narrowly. An interval that can save speed instead of reducing the range. And the dark red mana was wriggling from the ''Hyeolmagi (Ѫħ)'' that appeared on the spear blade. Wow! The Cheonshui Guanyin quickly turned around. He moved a thousand arms to somehow defend himself. But it was too late. Puffy! Because Chang, who had already left Jinhyuk''s hand, penetrated into Cheonsu Gwaneum''s arm. Aww! The face of the Thousand Shroud Gwaneum was contorted badly. A feeling I''ve never felt before. ache. That unfamiliar and sharp experience was enough to blow away the reason of the Cheonshui Guanyin. I wanted to rip the human in front of me right away, but... . The first priority was to deal with the dark red demonic energy spreading along the arm. "Poison is it the same thing?" It''s similar. Blood magic is much less destructive than the grave of the sword. Instead, a single wound could inflict continuous damage. pudding! Cheonshui Guanyin mercilessly pulled out the arm with the spear attached to it. hey It seems that you still want to live. I thought at least a few people would think about it. The attachment to life is not normal enough to pluck out an arm on its own. Don''t be arrogant. If you''re going to aim, you should have aimed at the head. What are you going to do with only one arm? That''s it... . Because I know that even if I aim for the head, I can''t kill you. If you want to kill the named monsters that exist here, you can''t use a normal weapon. So I deliberately aimed at my arm. To be precise, I aimed at the arm holding the ''jewel'' among many weapons. Jinhyuk pulled a blue jewel from his severed arm. And from the subspace inventory, I took out the item I had kept for this very moment. CH 61 . Thousands of Cheonan Guanyin (2) Jinhyuk pulled out an old wooden fragment from the subspace inventory. A relic obtained from the corridor. It is a fragment of ''Merlin''s Staff''. that''s ? The eyebrows of the Thousands of Guanyin narrowed. He quickly rolled his eyes and took a stance to run away at any moment. It was because I felt an unusual energy. But, it''s already too late. Blame yourself for neglecting one arm. Jinhyuk merged two items into one. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo [''Merlin''s Staff Fragment (AAA)'' and ''Tenshui Kannon''s Jewel (AA)'' are fused!] With the intense light, the relic began to react. [Successful in fusion!] [Merlin''s Staff (Incomplete)] Acquisition Difficulty: S Description: Merlin, an English archmage and sage who served King Arthur. This staff is a relic that he used while he was alive, allowing him to unleash his magical abilities to the limit. (However, since it is not made of complete materials, the maximum increase in ability is limited.) After a while, there was a wooden staff studded with jewels in the place where the light had disappeared. ''Finally got this.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart was beating fast too. Although, it wasn''t a perfect relic. ''I do not care.'' This is enough. In the first place, Merlin''s staff could only be used by the Archmage who had completed the 3rd job change. great. next. Jinhyuk took a peek at the status window of Cheonsu Gwaneum through ''Eyes of Gluttony''. Because there was one thing I had to check before fighting him. Name: Thousands of Kannon Gender: None Age: 30,985 level: ?? strength ?? Agility ?? health ?? man ?? karma?? Unique Ability: Mandala skill: The individual skill window cannot be checked due to insufficient level of ''Eyes of Gluttony''. [Copy Conditions: Tenshui Kannon is extremely detested of Western magic. Create a large and beautiful sculpture that insults your opponent using ice magic within the time limit of 5 minutes. (However, you must also select an appropriate song to match during modeling.) If successful, you can copy the opponent''s unique ability.] Yes? Wait, wait... . Isn''t this wrong? Jinhyuk slowly closed his eyes and opened them. However, the contents of the copy conditions did not change. ''The system is going crazy.'' The last time I asked Cadrick to take a class on necromancers, it was ridiculous. How this happened is more and more curious. ''It''s a song and a sculpture... go?'' There was also an additional point that it had to match properly. Jinhyuk pressed his forehead with his index finger. no matter how it is How can you make a proposition to insult someone so creatively? I could already feel my head hurting. However, no matter how bizarre the conditions may be, they cannot give up. Because there was only one place where you could get a ''mandala'' under the 25th floor. Whoa. Jinhyuk took a deep breath and activated the ''broadcasting system''. It''s not meant to be streamed. One of the few features stocked for BJ. as soon as. [Please select BGM.] This is the broadcast background music. ''After all, this is the only music that goes well with Binggye''s magic.'' Jinhyuk, who chose the song, raised the sound to the maximum. A familiar and beautiful melody immediately flowed out. In the middle of winter, Disney''s masterpiece ''Frozen'' made the whole world heated up. And the main hit song ''Let It Go'' was used there. [Let It Go~! Let It Go~! Can''t hold it back any more.] His face heats up at the rising tune. what is it Do you feel like you are immersed in memories of the past? It is refreshing to hear it after a while. On the other hand, Cheonsu Gwaneum''s face was severely distorted by the unexpected song. You bastard! What are you doing? A voice like a roar broke out. A true sword battle that separates life and death. In the meantime, you''re doing things that aren''t even funny. Please, don''t ask me why. Because I also don''t know why I have to do this. sure. Answer me! Human! It''s impossible to pass it over to him like a hole in the wall. An enraged Cheonshui Guanyin raised mana. kukukuku! A golden energy was overlaid on the weapon in his hand. A power different from swordsmanship and divine power. Mandala (_). The strongest ability of Buddhism, which embodies all things, is activated at this moment. The joke is over. From now on, I''ll do my best to tear you apart. It looks like it''s been quite hot. He has been slaughtering countless human beings until now, but he has never drawn a mandala before. But, are you okay? Jinhyuk shrugged. What do you mean? "There would be no excuse for losing even if the mandala was activated, would it be okay?" This is 100% of my power! I haven''t seen anyone win with the guy who said that. How could they all spit out such strange words? If it were me, I''d just be quiet. Oh. Seriously, this might not be what I''m talking about from the standpoint of fighting while playing a song. This... what a damn human being! Who dares to discuss defeat on the subject of a creature that can''t live for at least 100 years! Cracks began to form in the ground. It''s a start. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A golden wave approaching without hesitation. However, the energy of the mandala that was smashing the ground stopped right in front of Jinhyuk. [[Glacier modeling] ''Blizzard'' is activated!] Pants! The ice powder took shape. A giant hexahedron with a size of 3 m. A pure white chill rose from the Great Magic Circle made of snow and ice. ''Awesome.'' Jinhyuk grabbed the staff with both hands. My hands trembled violently. Even controlling the runaway mana was not easy. ''Indeed, this is the skill of the higher version.'' The newly acquired skill, ''Glacier modeling ()''. The structure itself is completely different from the ''ice modeling'' I used a while ago. If ice molding was to solidify water dissolved in the air and use it as ice. Now that I got Merlin''s staff, I was able to create the cold itself. A Western miscellaneous drink...! The Cheonshui Guanyin sharpened its molars. It''s a Western trick... Jinhyuk smirked. If you think that way, you are making a big mistake. far from the battlefield. Li Qiao and Melena, who were on the tree, let out a sigh of relief. I can''t believe it. Swords... as well as Binggye magic did such a great job? Was it possible to have multiple classes? As the battle continued, the pupils of Li Qiao and Melena, who were watching, repeatedly increased and decreased. I had no choice but to do so. Because everything they were seeing right now was just something they couldn''t understand with their common sense. The overwhelming force of the Tenshu Kannon. It was so powerful that the word "named monster" came out of nowhere. However, Jin-hyeok, who blocks it from the front, was also beyond the human category. That too is far away. It''s not at the secondary level. Even within the Magic Association, someone who can use that level of ice magic... Li Qiao interrupted his speech on the way. It''s hard to say that there is no wizard better than melee players. And Melena felt the same way. Melena licked her lips and finally uttered something she should never have said. Can we win just because the two of us fight? A whopping two warlocks specializing in person-to-person warfare came. Even if the opponent received an S-class judgment, it is enough power to subdue it. But Melena wasn''t sure. I am confident that I can defeat that monster. " it will be difficult." Li Qiao also muttered a little with a stiff face. From a cold standpoint, victory cannot be guaranteed with just the two of them. Perhaps, even the worst-case scenario should be assumed. Let''s give up, Li Qiao. We can''t do it alone. At least unless an executive rank comes... No. In that case, the position we have built up to now will collapse at once. So what? You''re going to die, so let''s take a risk? no. Li Qiao shook his head. I have no intention of gamble recklessly. However, I have no intention of giving up on my mission. I will use the relic. A relic brought from the Mine Association for Manhana. After using it once, there was a limitation of 3 months before using it again, so I didn''t want to use it if possible... . There is no other way out of this situation. You have to use all the means you have to complete the mission. look at this ''Cedric wasn''t the only one here.'' Jinhyuk glanced to the side. On a tree far away from the battlefield. There, an unfamiliar mana was faintly felt. From what I haven''t noticed until now, they''re at least in a row higher than Cadrick. Maybe it''s the Hidden cards prepared by the Mine Association to make sure it''s finished. ''Good.'' This opportunity allowed me to learn more about the Mine Association. By the way. That''s when I thought so. Aww! There was a tingling shock in my wrist. Where are you selling your eyes? The spear thrown by the Cheonshui Guanyin half-pierced through the ice wall. A trembling spear blade. If I hadn''t activated Glacier Sculpting quickly, it would have pierced my body along with my hands. Yes. this guy was there It is important to interrogate the Mine Association, but for now, we have to deal with the troubles in front of us. [[Glacier modeling] ''Extreme Ice Arrow'' is activated!] tsutsutsutsutsu! Over 20 ice arrows were created in an instant. It is definitely different from the ones made with ice sculptures in the past in terms of size. Because the huge weapon over 3m was more like a harpoon for catching a whale than an arrow. However, it was close to impossible to inflict a fatal wound on the Cheonshui Guanyin with this alone. In addition to the ability to gnaw at the opponent''s mana, the mandala also had the power to predict the trajectory of an attack. It is not for nothing that all karate players are evaluated as having perfect abilities. if so. ''Using both medium and short range.'' No matter how good the predicting power, there must be a limit to the number of attacks that can be read. Jinhyuk injected mana into his wand. Then the staff shrunk to the size of a finger. This shouldn''t be a hindrance to your movement. ''great.'' Jinhyuk nodded and immediately took out the dagger he was keeping in the subspace inventory. The black energy that flows smoothly along the sword. To counter the mandala, he even activated the ''Sword Graveyard''. You''ve only blown chunks of ice from afar so far, but now you think you''re going to come directly. "Before the song ends, I want to make a decision." Suddenly, ''Let It Go'' was also approaching its climax. There is not much time left. kukuku kuk kuk! The two mana collided, and blue sparks bounced in all directions. And at that very moment. ''Now!'' With 20 ice arrows. kwaang! Jinhyuk left his seat and sprinted forward. CH 62 . Thousands of Cheonan Guanyin (3) The view changed quickly. The higher the running speed, the more spears were thrown, and the breathing became a little more difficult. The only thing that can survive without falling is the ''shallow breathing'' I copied earlier. it will be thanks to It was here that I had prepared for a long battle. right then ...! Jinhyuk swung his dagger sharply. kwaang! The spear that flew in from the front was struck again. The spear rotated round and round in the air. This is not the end. Wedge lover! Then the spears that flew in covered the sky. Each one is covered with a mandala boasting a fatal death. The sky was dyed black as if a storm with dark clouds was approaching. haha, what is this... . ''You don''t give me time to be bored.'' Despite the desperate situation, Jinhyuk raised his head. At first glance, it seems irregular. However, those attacks have one rule. The rule is to aim at the vital point of the target. In an instant, Jinhyuk grasped the trajectory of the flying spears. You don''t have to be scared. Because it''s something I''ve already done countless times. ''Remember the rhythm of that time.'' Jinhyuk relaxed his whole body. Light, yet soft. ''Relive those experiences.'' Whoops! The black energy carried on the dagger burned more fiercely. I heard the sound of breaking the wind. The spears got close enough to touch your hair. ''It''s all cut out.'' right then Kaka Kaka! A dazzling flame broke out. The roar of metal rubbing against iron struck the eardrum. Kaka Kaka Kaka Kaka! Jinhyuk stood in place and frantically drew a dagger. Left to right, right to down and back up again. kwaang! kwaaang! As if he had already memorized where he would attack, Jinhyuk did not miss a single spear. It''s a thrilling acrobatics that is hard to believe even watching. It was at that time that the shout of the Cheonshui Guanyin was heard. Damn... how about this! A single spear aimed at the ground right in front of him, not Jinhyuk''s body. The technique of using uneven floors to carve out an anomalous route. It''s a rip off (). It was not easy to recognize because it was slowly blending between the raining windows. It was even more difficult to react. But even that was expected. wow! Jinhyuk grabbed the spear that had bounced off the floor with his bare hands. Hey, did you stop this too? Thousands of Guanyin stuttered. I can''t help but be embarrassed because the conversion blow was blocked. Besides, the hands that were holding numerous weapons were mostly empty. "Now, I think I''ve shown you everything I want to show you, but if there''s nothing more novel and interesting, I''ll finish it soon." Jinhyuk walked forward. It is a light yet light step. [And one thought crystalizes like an icy blast.] And just in time, the last part of the song came out from the broadcasting system. As they say now is the time to conclude this battle. Did that casual tone offend your nerves? A voice filled with anger erupted from the inside of the Thousand Shroud Guanyin. Only this body can decide when the fight will end... [Cheonshui Guanyin pulls out ''Mangeukchang''!] die! The Thousand Shroud Guanyin stretched out the golden spear that expressed the mandala to the limit. Contrary to its heavy appearance, the spear moved as fast as a bullet. kwaang! Chang pierced Jinhyuk''s body. No, I thought I pierced it. "Ah a mirage?" Cheonsu Gwaneum''s face, which had had a fishy smile on it, soon contorted in astonishment. Optical illusion effect due to diffuse reflection of ice. There was no choice but to be completely deceived because he induced vigilance in front of him. Dangerous. when I thought so. A terrifying voice could be heard from under the chin of the Cheonshui Guanyin. Let''s hit me a little this time. I was tired of just continuing to defend. Needless to say, it was annoying and frustrating. so. No more, no less, just get it right once. Jinhyuk threw Merlin''s wand, which had turned into a small one, into the sky. At the same time, the dagger was placed on the floor. [[Glacier modeling] ''Sword of the Sky'' is activated!] A stream of ice falling from the sky. [[Glacier modeling] The ''Sword of the Earth'' is activated!] A stream of ice rising from the ground came into contact with one another. KwaKwaKwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa! Due to the tremendous cold, steam spurted out to the point that it became thick in front of my eyes. Aww! The body of the Cheonshui Kannon, who had been trapped inside, froze in an instant. No matter how named-class monsters were, an awful cold engulfed their whole body that they couldn''t even lift a hand. Shut up. You think you locked me up with this...? no. This is just to pass the time. There is still one thing left to do. Pants. Jinhyuk started making something out of ice in front of the Cheonsu Gwaneum. Here it is thick and elongated. It should be cut gently and smoothly here. Little by little, the shape of the ice was formed. How many seconds have passed? [Ice modeling is complete.] After the blizzard cleared, the finished product was finally revealed. ''Great.'' Jinhyuk nodded his head as if satisfied. A gigantic middle finger made of ice stood tall. big and beautiful There is even a dignified It''s an absolutely perfect piece of art. Oh. Of course, it''s the perfect sculpture to ridicule your opponent. This, this... this damn human! I will imprison you in an infinite hell and make you suffer for eons. I will make you reincarnated into a worm thousands of times, tens of thousands of times! Wow! The Cheonshui Guanyin shook her body wildly in the ice. I''m going crazy with the heat, and it''s going to be even harder to bear because I''m locked up. This should suffice. [The condition has been met.] [You succeeded in copying the unique ability ''Mandala (S)''!] [Mandala] Acquisition Difficulty: S Description: This is a unique ability that can be used by players who have learned the Dharma (Buddhist Law), and like swordsmanship and divine power, special powers can be applied to weapons. You can also use the effect that allows you to predict the direction of your opponent''s attack through mindfulness training.] [The copied skill is saved in ''Memory of the World''.] After achieving all sorts of gruesome conditions, I finally got it. A new unique ability, Mandala! ''Then where... . Let''s try it once in a while.'' Jinhyuk carefully operated the mana. huuuuuuuuuoooooooooooooooooo A warm and cozy vibe. It was as if all the living, breathing energy could be felt in one hand. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ice... In the meantime, Cheonshui Gwaneum twisted his body and tried to get out of the ice. The mandala gave off golden sparks, but it was not enough to break the ice. ttttttttttttttttttttt It''s sad to see Why does my heart hurt so much when I see idiots who can''t use their swords properly? Don''t lose your strength needlessly. That''s because you can''t get out of it anyway. Hell! There''s no place I can''t get out of my powers. No, it''s unreasonable. Mandala is a good unique ability, but you''re using it completely wrong. What? If you open the ''door'' through meditation, you should be able to maintain that composure. You''re still engulfed in anger and can''t even properly control the flow of mana, right? So even half of the power can''t be used properly. Where are you joking around? What do you know about this ability! What do you know? I know there will be more than you, who has spent at least tens of thousands of years in vain. The essence of this ability. And even the value of that ability, all. So don''t show me How to use the mandala ability. [The unique ability ''Mandala'' is activated!] Pants! An indescribable cloud dance was created. Suddenly, a golden lightning appeared on Jinhyuk''s right hand. I can''t. How can you get that power!? An earthquake occurred in the pupil of the Tenshui Kannon. ability that cannot be known. The ability that he used is being reproduced. It is also much more complete and perfect. "It''s nonsense." How the hell did humans learn mandalas? Even high school monks who had practiced for decades were impossible. However, no matter how much he denied reality, he could not deny the mandala''s dazzling energy. That was undoubtedly the reality. Stop it now. Jinhyuk put his hand holding the lightning back wide. The forearm muscles expanded rapidly. Wait, wait! Wait, sleep! Thousands of people shouted hastily. And that moment. Wedge lover! The lightning that left Jinhyuk''s hand pierced through the body of Cheonsu Gwaneum. Chi profit! Water dripped from the melted ice. Naturally, the Cheonshui Gwaneum inside was also charred and stopped breathing. [Level has risen.] [Level has risen.] [You have acquired the ''Key to the Stone Statue''.] Status window that appears in succession. Thanks to catching the named monster, a whopping two levels have risen. Is it roughly over? Jinhyuk, who was breathing heavily, frowned. It was because it was difficult to bear the pain felt all over his body. ''It was too much.'' After hunting Cadrick and the Undead, and dealing with the Tenshu Gwaneum immediately, the remaining mana ran out. I need a break. Of course, I''ll have to deal with what needs to be done before that. Jinhyuk activated the personal status window. Name: Kang Jin-hyuk Gender: Male Age: 27 Level: 21 Strength 16 Dexterity 16 Stamina 16 mana 41 Gap 100 Luck 10 Adaptive 10 Stat Points you have: 6 Coins held: Additional settlement in progress. Occupation: None Unique Abilities: Fusion, Sword Tomb, Star Blessing, Anubis'' Judgment, Blood Magic, Mandala skill: Lv5 ''Element of Fire'', Lv4 ''Eye of Gluttony'', Lv3 ''Communion'', Lv3 ''Stigma of Souls'', Lv3 ''Reading'', Lv3 ''Shallow Breath'', Lv1 ''Ice Formation'', Lv2 ''Daylight'', Lv1 ''Giant''s Grasp'', Lv1 ''Chuhon Sword (׷ꄦ)'' The newly acquired abilities and stat points stood out. ''Stats should be invested in mana.'' Considering the case where the battle will be prolonged like now, it was necessary to focus on mana once again. [mana rises from 41 47] When mana was raised, the swollen blood vessels quickly subsided. ''I think I''ll live a little now.'' At the end, raising the mandala to the maximum and throwing lightning was really big. However, more than the hard work, the results were obtained enough. Thanks to completing Merlin''s wand, I learned Glacier Sculpture, a higher version of ice modeling. It was possible to copy everything from the Tenshui Kannon to the Mandala. Besides, since you''ve leveled up, isn''t it the perfect raid? Truly an ideal finish. Now I just need to find a suitable bed and relieve the accumulated fatigue. Yes. It would be normal to think that way. When the day passes and the night comes, I will rest. ''Then they must come before the night gets dark.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes turned to the forest. Even at this moment, watching himself, towards the Assassins of the Mine Association. You''d think it''d be a perfect surprise, but well... . A completely different future awaits them than they think. CH 63 . Mine Association (1) The night at the Tower of Trials is a little special. During the day, the warm temperature dropped rapidly, and the ferocity and attack power of the monsters soared. So, at night, most players stopped hunting and found a safe place. It''s a natural thing. Because there was no need to take any risks. And about an hour had passed since I had dealt with the Tenshui Kannon. Jinhyuk was able to sit in front of the shrine where the bamboo forest was thickly spread out. ''It reminds me of the old days.'' The space where you spend most of your time, except for sleeping and broadcasting. [Tower of Trials.] After hunting like crazy, I always looked for a place where I could see the night sky. Not a bad place to take a break. Especially if you were here, you could see the falling meteor shower. ''It''s great to be able to get materials that can only be seen in bamboo shoots and towers.'' After making a fire, Jinhyeok put bamboo shoots, rice, and rock salt in a bamboo barrel and boiled it. In addition, 3 iron-clad Shrimp that can be caught in the valley were added. Immediately, a fragrant smell pierced the tip of his nostrils. squeak. appetite is moving Scoop a full spoonful and put it in your mouth. The soft, warm porridge ran down my throat. The meat quality of the shrimp, which was plump in the middle, created a fantastic texture. Wow, that''s the taste. ''Next time, I''ll have to copy some cooking-related skills.'' As we climbed the tower, all kinds of seafood and seafood were overflowing. Desert veal that is full of gravy and overflows with no olive oil. A rainbow crab available from the sea. Thousand Apple, which is said to have a thousand scents. Ingredients that can never be tasted outside the tower. It is truly a treasure trove of ingredients from the heavens. By the way, just at that moment when Jinhyuk is enjoying his long-awaited dinner. Hey. It smells good. It looks like a pretty tasty meal. A pair of men and women appeared through the bamboo forest. An oriental man with an alluring Western beauty and a strong physique. It was Melena and Lichao. Oh! I don''t have any bad intentions. I just saw the light and saw it once. As long as you avoid the night dew for a while, that''s enough. Melena and Liqiao calmly approached the bonfire. What, these guys... . Are you planning to play an ordinary player, not the Mine Association? Heartily? ''It''s ridiculous.'' At this point, I''m so upset that I don''t know what to say. They are fools beyond imagination. or not . Is there any way I can win even if my identity is revealed? one of the two I wish it was the latter if possible. That way you can spend this long night without being bored. It''s possible to avoid the cold, so please sit down. Jinhyuk pointed to one side of the bonfire. Thank you. Call me Melena. My name is Li Qiao. Then, excuse me for a few hours. Melena and Liqiao took one place each. At least it seemed like it wasn''t a lie to say that I wanted to avoid the night dew. Watching them thaw their half-frozen arms and legs in a hurry. You seem to have suffered a lot. Don''t be fooled. It''s because the masked brother doesn''t know, did you tremble all day on the tree? Yes, of course it must have been difficult. How much trouble would you have to lose your eyes to spy on this place like a mouse? I''ve had quite a bit of food. How would you like some? Jinhyuk handed him a bamboo bowl. The appetizingly fleshy shrimp and white rice stood out. don''t speculate. I know that my stomach is sticking to my back from starvation. " " Melena swallowed dry saliva. It is a face of conflict. However, they did not readily reach out to the food. that''s suspicious You don''t know what they did to the food. But perhaps because of his strong instinct for appetite, his pupils twitched several times in that brief moment. On the other hand, Richao drew a line with a single sword. We''re fine. I''m sorry, but we''re careful not to touch food given to us by strangers. Especially if the subject has their face covered. You seem to care about the mask? Isn''t that obvious? Unless you want to hide something, I won''t wear a mask. Um. If it''s really uncomfortable for you, I can take it off. what? really? At Jinhyuk''s words, the pupils of the two people dilated rapidly. The person who was trying to find out his identity somehow declared that he was going to reveal himself, so of course he had to react like this. "Of course, it''s no fun to just take it off, so we play a simple game." If it''s a game...? It seems like we have a question for each other, so we''re going to ask each other three questions in turn. If he can answer all my questions, I''ll take off the mask as soon as the game is over. A game where information can be exchanged with each other. Li Qiao''s head turned quickly. ''There is no way to find out the truth of the words anyway.'' It doesn''t matter if you give false information. On the other hand, the opponent who does not know the identity of this place must be vigilant. ''Even if we accept that offer, we will not lose anything.'' Melena, who was next to her, also nodded and whispered softly. We still have five more minutes to activate the relic. If we deliberately let the time pass, it''s us. The worries didn''t last long. ...that''s fun. It''s not a bad way to kill time. Li Qiao opened his mouth. And that moment. [''Anubis'' Judgment'' is activated!] A transparent wave spread around Jinhyuk. I got caught. Jinhyuk smiled meaningfully. In fact, he knew immediately that the two would accept the offer. Because it was these guys who needed time. Pants! A unique wave emanating from a woman named Melena. past [This is the mana I felt several times while playing Tower of Trials.] ''Callicula''s coin... .'' A coin with the image of the Roman tyrant Callicula. What kind of card did you prepare? It''s definitely not a bad choice. There was a drawback that it took time to activate, but once it was fully activated, it had the effect of completely breaking the skin of the target''s alertness. The Spirit Relic, which made me confess everything I knew without the need for time-consuming physical torture, was a pretty useful card. ''Even though you know that my body hasn''t fully recovered yet, I''m trying to get a more perfect victory.'' The intention to avoid even minor injuries stood out. excellent. It''s great though. As long as its existence was known before its activation, you should know that Calicula''s Coin is not a relic, but a mere commemorative coin. ''Don''t tell me that there''s a flying guy on top of a running guy.'' Jinhyuk smiled brightly. I''ll concede the right of priority. Let''s ask a question first. If you ask me for my name or affiliation, I won''t answer... If I reveal my identity to the first question, there will be no meaning in answering this question. I only take off the mask after the game is over. Then change the question. Are there any other colleagues here besides you? hmmm. I thought I''d ask you something else. That''s a pretty realistic question. It''s hard to think of a boss raid alone in common sense, so you can only think of another comrade. Since the range of Calicula''s coin is 10m, we are trying to identify a variable that may exist. "I came here alone, and I will be alone when I leave." Right. I''m asking this time. Apparently, you also came here to hunt the boss monster, why did you just keep watching? I was watching the timing to go inside the temple. It''s notorious, so I had to be careful. You sound like a prudent. However, this has answered the first question. Two left. Just then, Li Qiao asked the second question. If you climb the tower, there must be something you wish for. Whether it''s power or wife, whether it''s fame or fame. I want to know that. hoo. At Li Qiao''s words, Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. ''I thought you came to kill me... .'' If the conditions are right, he seems to be thinking of conciliation. "I have what you want, but just because I say it, do you really have the ability to do it there?" Shivering from the cold and starving. Li Qiao and Melina had been on the tree all day, so they couldn''t even talk. Well, it must look ridiculous how we are now. However, we have the ability to do so, so don''t worry. Second with this... . There is now only one answer needed. Jinhyuk''s lips twisted slightly. At the same time, the polite tone of voice cooled coldly. You say you have the ability to do that... Then, can you give me a seat at the ''Round Table''? Gee, what now? How do you know about the Round Table!? The two shouted at the same time. The round table symbolizing the highest executive of the Mine Association. Because I never imagined that the veiled words would come out of an outsider''s mouth. I had no choice but to make a flagship. But do they know? The fact that there is a deceased person who understood the origin and reason of the use of the expression ''round table'' before anyone else. I haven''t heard an answer to the question yet, so can you give it to me? Of course I can''t give it! Li Qiao bit his molars. "What kind of thing is that?" Melena suddenly stood up from her seat. I thought I''d say something like this. Actually, I''m not interested in giving it to you. Even if it was given for free, such as an executive position in the Mine Association, it was a specification. And you don''t have to do clumsy acting anymore. [Condition met!] Because the judgment of Anubis has just begun. kukukuku! The ground began to shake violently. ! Li Qiao hastily spread the distance. In an unusual mana, it was an instinctive act. timely. Five minutes have passed! Melena shouted. The long-awaited time has finally come. If only Calicula''s coin could be used, he could subdue even the strongest enemy. Because no other player has the ability to defend the mental system until now. However. No, relics do not activate. Jinhyuk smirked. what? Li Qiao pulled out his dagger and raised his eyebrows. That coin. It''s useless to any pair right now. I''ve delayed the trigger by 5 minutes. Don''t be bullshit! How can you...! Wait! It''s true. Melena''s face, who was standing next to her, darkened in an instant. no doubt The coin hasn''t been fully infused with mana yet. That guy he''s got something excellent grade. He must have done something to restrain our mana! What do you mean! We didn''t even eat our food! The only possibility is the dish Jinhyuk gave him. But, how the hell did you play with food you hadn''t even eaten? That''s because this dish is effective just by smelling it. There''s no way these vigilant bastards can grab and eat food given to them by others. So I did a little more hair. The effect is slower than direct ingestion by mouth, but a more sophisticated method. When the sap flowing from the bamboo shoots reacts with the armored shrimp, it creates a toxic substance that inhibits mana. Of course, chewing this grass is not poisonous. Jinhyuk showed the eucalyptus leaf in his mouth. Oh, no, no... I mean, you''ve designed not only our identities, but also the effects of relics and how to destroy them? Isn''t that what we were buying... the time? The two murmured in disbelief. I thought I dug the trap perfectly. I thought time was definitely on my side. All of that fell apart. From now on, I will ask the question. Jinhyuk snapped his fingers. At the same time. [Anubis chooses a fighter!] Something started moving. CH 64 . Mine Association (2) huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The sound came from the shrine just behind him. A breeze blew through the bamboo forest. What, what? Mana reaction? Li Qiao and Melena shouted at the same time. A little while ago, there were only three people around here who had mana. A fact that I have already checked and reconfirmed several times before coming here. But no more. Because a new energy arose from the old wooden building. [Jangseung ''General of the Heavens (´ Army)'' has been designated as a great fighter!] [The general ''Underground Female Commander'' has been designated as the great man!] kuung! kuung! kuung! With the roar of the shaking of the earth''s axis. Two long-haired trees about 5 m tall appeared. [The general, ''The General of Heaven (´)'' looks at the enemies.] [The general ''Underground Female Soldier'' is waiting for the caster''s command.] In the past, a pair of old trees that protected a village. He is the guardian deity of the land optimized for defense. Unbelievable . An earthquake struck Li Qiao''s pupil. Rather, I would not have been so surprised if it had been a Lich or a Death Knight who appeared before my eyes. Hey, I''ve never heard of such an ability. Melina couldn''t believe the situation either. yea that''s the way it is The ability to handle summons is not very common. Necromancers who use corpses only accounted for 3% of all jobs. Elementalists who deal with spirits were rare enough to be counted among 100 people in the world. And at best, you can count on one finger to deal with spirit creatures or mythical beasts? However. none of them. There was no player who could summon God. What the hell... what the hell happened to you? Li Qiao shouted with a look of despair. Jinhyuk looked at the approaching generals and smiled satisfied. ''It''s been a while since I''ve called General Cheonha and General Jihae at the same time.'' The reason I chose this one out of many campsites was to use these guys through the judgment of Anubis. Mana is exhausted from dealing with the Tenshu Gwaneum. It was a stage that I put a lot of effort into to make up for the loophole, but thanks to the two of them playing properly on the beat, things worked out easily. Ah. It''s better not to think about running away. Jinhyuk gave advice to Li Qiao and Melena, who were going backwards. Are you going to pursue a chase? You know that you''re still not in perfect shape, right? That''s right. I can''t. It''s a chase that you don''t know how long it will take. It is absolutely unreasonable in terms of the physical condition now. so . Aren''t you going to call a great man to do it for you? The moment Jinhyuk spoke out. [The general ''Underground Female Commander'' activates ''Exit not allowed''!] kukukuku! Thick vines began to sprout along the bamboo forest. A huge number of vines shook as if they were going to completely block this area. Break through! You must not be trapped! Li Qiao shouted and swung his sword. Sheesh! Melena followed her. Puff Puff Puff! A black bullet struck a wall made of vines. There was a fairly large wound on the vine, but the recovery was much faster. A new leaf sprouted in the place where it had been burned. The green wave came in more and more densely. This way...! We must aim here! Damn, I''m trying too! However, no matter how much he wields his sword and uses magic, it is of no use. Because a Necromancer who had just completed the 2nd job change couldn''t destroy the skills of the generals. When the judgment of Anubis was satisfied, the match was already decided. Cheer up. That''s right! Just a little more! Jinhyuk supported Li Qiao and Melena who were struggling. Almost done! Fight! We can do it. Gazua! Boo woo woo! It is a bonus to use cheering balloons and vuvuzela purchased from the coin exchange. zero! car! zero! car! Jinhyuk raised his voice. An action closer to insult than provocation. Aww! Eventually, unable to bear it, Li Qiao stopped wielding the sword. And he turned the tip of the sword, which was dripping with life. Why are you going to stop cutting vines now? "Vines are good. If you kill them, these damn things will disappear too." Hey, you''re smart. That''s right. If you kill the caster, the summons will naturally return to their original location. But... . Is it possible? If you''ve watched the fight against the Cheonshui Guanyin, you''d know better than anyone. that you can''t do it for me In the first place, I was afraid of that, so I acted like a normal player and prepared a coin for Callicula. Don''t make fun of it. Even a mouse bites when it''s cornered. Li Qiao exposed his fangs. If it''s a girl, even if it''s a Donggwijin, it has the momentum. However, Jinhyeok had seen the magic circle drawn under Li Qiao''s feet. Pants... . A faint mana continued along the line. It is a magic circle for short-distance space movement often used by necromancers. look at this Were you thinking of running away from behind after pretending to fight? Alex, whom I met at the auction house, and Cadric, his teacher. How come these guys do the same thing when they''re in a corner? At this point, the Mine Association had its own academy, and I even thought that I might teach escape classes there. I tried to capture him as unharmed as possible, but he earns a lot of money. Naturally, I didn''t even want to let go of my nails. You can''t release the prey you''ve caught with such a lot of effort. Jinhyuk nodded his head towards the other Jangseung behind him. Keep it down. A cold command. [The commander, ''Great General of Heaven (´)'' activates ''One Bee Hundred Commands (һPٽ)''!] Aww! An invisible fist hit Li Qiao''s head. Aww! A painful scream erupted from Li Qiao''s mouth. However, the attack continued without even thinking about it. kwaang! kwaaang! Li Qiao''s body shook up and down. Even though it''s incredibly fast, it''s an attack so heavy that it crushes a bone with each blow. Koouk! Once more. kwaaang! Ouch! And one more time. It took less than 30 seconds for the bones all over his body to shatter. Turn it off... Li Qiao, who was covered in blood, rolled over on the floor. It''s a ghastly ghoul To the extent that it feels like a miracle to be alive. Rumble! Melena''s body next to her also trembled like an aspen. "Water, guardian deity by what means are you going to beat the class?" There was less than a minute left until Calicula''s coin was triggered, but he didn''t even dare to spend it. This is because he was completely frightened by Jin-hyeok, who continues to show his abilities beyond common sense. Jinhyuk approached Melena. It seems that the situation is roughly settled, so let''s have a conversation like a civilized person? It would be simple if we could do ''mind reading'' through ''Eyes of Gluttony'', but unfortunately, the two of them had a higher level. It means you can''t use the easiest way. if so. The only choice is to make the most of your ability to distinguish truth from lies. [Lv4 ''Eyes of Gluttony'' is activated.] Jinhyuk''s eyes flashed. I''m going to ask you a question now, and I hope you''ll give me a sincere answer. "What what are you curious about?" Melena swallowed dry saliva. I''ve known about your existence for a long time, but honestly, I don''t know the motive for it. If you don''t climb the tower, humanity will perish. But why are you disturbing the players and calling you strange Excellent grade? that''s . Melena paused. right then You can''t talk... shut up your mouth, Melena! Li Qiao shouted in a squeezing voice. ''Oh.'' Even after getting hurt, you still haven''t lost your mind. I have to admit just one mental power. It''s nice to be loyal to the place you belong to, but you should have covered the situation and place a little. There are two people who can ask questions in the first place. Even if at least one person disappears, there will be no problem in conducting the interrogation. Jinhyuk snapped his fingers. Never...! You must never say that! Richao shouted at Melena. And that''s it. Aww! It was Li Qiao''s last will. An invisible force completely crushed Li Qiao. Even though there were only two people, it was a sight that suited the term "one bee white chicken". "Hey Ik! Zhu, he''s dead. Li, Li Qiao is really dead." Melena, who had lost strength in her legs, hit her butt wheel. pale white complexion. great. Now that you''ve used enough sticks, it''s time to give the carrots. The principle is not to keep those who are trying to save my life, but if I tell the truth, I can spare them. Sa, you''re going to save me? Melena opened her rabbit eyes. Yes. Inside information is quite valuable information. If you hand over useful information, we will withhold the disposition. " " momentary silence. What followed was a voice that seemed to have given up on everything. ...I see. But, I don''t know the details either. When Jinhyuk tried to snap his fingers again, Melena added hastily. No, really. It''s real! In the first place, we''re moving as a point organization, and Nana Richao is an assassin, so no additional information is given except for the immediate mission. [''Eyes of Gluttony'' detects the target''s words.] [Melena''s words are ''truth''.] It''s probably not a lie. Who is giving the mission? I don''t know his real name, but we called him ''Lancelot''. The legend of King Arthur that everyone has heard at least once. And one of the knights on the round table is Lancelot. Again, the expected name came out. It''s even codenamed. It means that the second job change has been completed. continue. "The executives did. If we could collect all the relics in the tower even if mankind were to perish, we wouldn''t die. And we would receive a huge reward for that." Sacred? At Melena''s words, Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. A very meaningful word came out. I, I don''t really know more than that. That''s all I know. [''Eyes of Gluttony'' detects the target''s words.] [Melena''s words are ''truth''.] Unless you are an executive, this is the limit you can find out. Yes. I''ll believe you. Jinhyuk nodded his head. The information I could get was only fragmentary, but I was able to raise more crops than I thought. Knights of the Round Table and 12 Cursed Relics. And even the reward for collecting them all. Clues and clues are put together. Indeed, I know what they are aiming for. A laugh came out of Jinhyuk''s mouth. ''The liver was very much out of the boat.'' They''re more crazy than you think. I was even guessing that the demons would challenge the Hidden Quest, but... . It must have something to do with invoking ''Demon King''. This is going to be a lot of fun. Maybe we can make a new edition including these variables. CH 65 . One Man Legion (1) Jinhyuk nodded his head as if satisfied. Thanks for giving me some useful information. It''s really been a big help. I have obtained information that will be useful for making a plate. Some of my doubts have been cleared up. Then can I go now? Melena asked with a desperate face. no. Say, you said you''d save me...? If you tell me what you know clearly, I''ll send you! Don''t worry. I''ll keep my promise. I have no intention of killing them carelessly unless I have proven that they are useful. Why would you throw away these useful shogi words for one-time use? I could continue to use it in the future. I just have to make one promise. promise? Yeah. Promise. It''s not a word of mouth or a little finger, it''s a real promise. An oath written in the soul is a promise in the true sense of the word. [Lv3 ''Stigma of the Flame'' is activated!] Jinhyuk''s fingertips shone brightly. It''s a sign that you must obey my words unconditionally in the future. If you get hit in the head or rebel, you''ll think it''s better to die than to die, so decide carefully. either die either obey You only have one of the two to choose from. And Melena... . I... don''t want to die. I chose to survive. The harsh first night has passed. When the warm sunlight illuminates the campsite. Hmm. Jinhyuk stretched out and got up from his seat. It''s a refreshing morning. Does it feel like all the accumulated fatigue has been recovered? Last night, everything worked out more easily than I expected, and thanks to the nutritional supplementation, my condition reached the highest level. ''It''s okay to fight with all your might.'' In the last remaining boss raid, there will be a frenetic battle that cannot be compared with the past. ''It would be more like a war than a battle.'' Jinhyuk calmly rechecked the overall sketch of this raid in his head. Of course, even the smallest mistakes are unacceptable. Because of this, Jinhyuk has complicated situations, optimized movements, and even variables that can break down all those assumptions. In fact, it was prepared for all cases. How many minutes have passed? Finally, Jinhyuk opened his eyes. Suddenly, in his hand, he held the key he had obtained from the Cheonshui Guanyin. Oh. Wait a minute before calling the boss. ''I almost forgot about it.'' There was one thing I had to do. Jinhyuk activated the ''broadcast system''. [Shadow to ''Channel Unknown''.] [Please select the desired category.] chururuk The various categories listed. What we need now is to write a ''notice''. [Boss raid will not be streamed. I''ll edit it later and upload the attack video, so only those who see it can see it.] A two-line short notice has been updated. ''Anyway, in the first broadcast, there was enough aggro, so there''s no need to go live until the boss battle.'' The purpose is to increase the number of views on the video and the awareness of the channel called ''Unknown''. It''s not about giggling with the viewers and giving the boss a loophole. Within a minute of updating the video, dozens of comments were posted. It seems that there were quite a few people waiting for their throats to fall. -Issuteller: See the announcement. He said he was going to start broadcasting. Are you going to replace it with an expensive video? -Nutella Jjajang: Besides, did you make the fact that the attack was successful? If you fail and die, what are you going to do with this notice? -Baeksuuitsu: It must be because I have confidence. For those who didn''t see the stream yesterday, just be quiet. If you stand still, you will feel the middle. -Pizza sweet and sour pork john matteng: ??. It''s different from what you''ve seen. - Middle School Ding Nara: ?? That''s it? - Dead Person Identification Center: I saw it yesterday too, and my uncle, it was completely Dubai oil. -Memories of Diablo 3: oj. It''s almost at the level of the producer''s hair loss maker I''ve succeeded in making even a large guild raid difficult by myself. -Mad Movie: Hmm. It''s like kimchi soup, no matter how strong you are, you can''t face tens of thousands of troops alone, right? - Sae Young Eon Hwan: I''m really looking forward to how you will defeat the boss. Channel bulletin boards heated up due to disputes between people who are dubious and those who trust and wait. ''I''ll have to pay more attention to the directing.'' The success of a raid is natural, but to be successful at the box office, the script, composition, and even the actors on the stage are important. And of course. Jinhyuk had also devised a way to satisfy all of them. ''Then, let''s start slowly.'' Jinhyuk reached out to the front while holding the key. empty space with nothing. However, the moment the key came into contact with a point in the empty space. Chunkyung! There was a sound that seemed to be interlocking. [''Key to the stone statue'' responds!] [The owner of the 3rd floor answers your call!] At the same time as the red status window appears. kukukuku! A huge gate began to appear in front of me. It is a gate that is so huge that it cannot be compared to when the Tenshui Kannon appeared. Hey... An exclamation came out of Jinhyuk''s mouth. It was so wide that I couldn''t see the end of it across the bamboo forest. From the height, it seemed that it would touch the clouds and swallow the sky. soon after thud! thud! thud! thud! thud! thud! A huge number of stone statues appeared beyond the gate. A whopping 3,000 troops. Most of them were heavily armed 1m-class soldiers, but there were also a mix of medium-sized and 50m-long classes. And in the center of all the stone statues, the most splendidly fragmented stone statue was seen. That guy is the owner of the third floor. To be precise, the guy yawning on that stone statue. Hmm. Did you come alone this time? A familiar voice was heard from the top of the statue''s head. Jittery! Goosebumps arose on Jinhyuk''s skin. indeed. ''Is this the boss''s mana?'' The boss monster on the 3rd floor belonged to the axis with relatively weak mana. This is because mana was dispersed due to having so many summons. Still, this feeling of pressure weighed down on my whole body. Also, boss monsters are boss monsters. Jinhyuk glanced at the opponent through ''Eyes of Gluttony''. However. [The status window cannot be viewed due to the extreme level difference between the target and the target.] What came back was a phrase that it was impossible to read. right then [Luck stats and adaptive stats have neutralized the level difference.] [Looks through the target''s status window.] Two stats lit. ''Did the luck stat that failed during the Thousand Shroud Gwaneum explode this time?'' Jinhyuk let out a small cheer. name: unmarried Gender: unknown Age: unknown Level: 105 Strength 72 Dexterity 101 Stamina 79 mana 93 Karma 128 Unique Ability: Heartless Army skill: Lv17 ''Desire of Heaven'', Lv15 ''Batch command'', Lv14 ''Visit weaknesses'', Lv14 ''Military strategy'' [Copy condition: Since the level of the mandala is 15 or lower, it is impossible to copy the unique ability or skill of a soulless person.] I''m level 105... . In the meantime, the raids of various guilds seem to have killed quite a few. Considering the fact that it took him more than a year to get to the original 3-digit level. ''So that''s why he was so confident that he was breaking through the ceiling.'' As a boss on the 3rd floor, the shit he catches is worse than the Dragon on the upper floor. Not bad though. ''In other words... Because it means that the situation is better to induce vigilance.'' In addition, the stronger the enemy, the more satisfied the subscribers will feel when it is overturned. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. Smile? Oh, sorry. Just thinking about it for a while. So, what was the question you asked a while ago? I asked if you were the only one who came here. Well, as you can see. Unlike anyone else, I don''t like hiding behind subordinates. Jinhyuk groaned. The innocent eyes narrowed at that provocative answer. A very small crack arose in the face of Kang Ja-ra, which was full of pride. But it was only for a short time. The shaky pupils soon regained their composure. I''m sorry, but this body doesn''t like to use it directly. Isn''t it the virtue of a monarch to rule over and give orders? It''s a leisurely response. No, it would be correct to call it a response to trying to look relaxed. No matter how much you level up and accumulate a lot of victories... . ''The sense of entitlement that comes from not being strong has not changed.'' So it seems that there is no such thing as perfect. Because everyone had at least one loophole to dig into. Well. I think the virtue of a monarch is not to hide behind in a fight, but to be at the forefront. It''s because of these fools that war ends in vain. If the commander who was leading the way alone dies, the soldiers following him will be annihilated. You mean you don''t even know the basics of those basics? That''s not wrong either. only. Isn''t it enough that I have to die even if I fight in the front? I don''t know why you think you''re going to die if you step out in front. There is no other way to raise overall morale as long as you have enough skills. ...that''s ridiculous. Does that mean you have the power to do that? Not there. If it weren''t for that, I wouldn''t have come here in the first place. You probably didn''t even gather the ingredients for victory by struggling for the past hour. Jinhyuk slowly captured mana. Looking at you, you seem quite confident in battles between troops... I also like melee battles quite a bit. So let''s stick together. One of them will have to die to prove who''s right. After those words, a strangely-looking chessboard appeared in the subspace inventory. [''First Chessboard'' is activated!] tsutsutsutsutsu! Blue lines began to be drawn along the ground. Lines and lines meet to make a square-shaped plate. It works fine. Then... . Jinhyuk took out the fragments he received from Lee Yuri this time. Thousands of chess pieces carved out of marble appeared. Of course, these aren''t board games or toys made to play. A work of art made by Fragmented by Yuri Yuri, a summoner, and engraved with runes on it. Therefore, each chess piece will fulfill its role as a single soldier. The idea is novel. If that''s the way it is, I''d be able to play a soldier by myself. Seeing the chess pieces laid out on the chessboard, the unholy person made an interesting expression. But after a brief surprise, words filled with ridicule followed. What are you going to do with those little things? Wait. It''s not over yet. Even if you don''t talk like that, I''ll keep your mouth shut after a while, so stay still. Jinhyuk pulled out an item to decorate the end. An item obtained by tricking Anubis on the 1st basement floor of the Tower of Trials. [You used ''Giantization Pill''!] It''s a giant pill. The pills he had collected in large quantities permeated into the body of the chess piece. OK. kukukuku! The chess pieces, which were less than 10 cm tall, began to grow rapidly. Knights, bishops and rooks, up to two meters tall, line up along the horizon. The pawn, armed with heavy armor, formed a square and stretched out its spear. Chess pieces are no longer toys. Looking at the troops with the majesty of the Legion, who can laugh at them? Have you just realized that the situation is not serious? The smile disappeared from the face of the unmarried man who was smirking. Whoops! The soulless bit her molars. ...you guys. It was a fly that I thought was easy. There''s only one person, because I could trample them down with a single gesture. But no more. Humans, who were insignificant, were transformed into enemies with a large army that was hard to ignore. CH 66 . Solo Legion (2) Troops on both sides faced each other. Of course, there are differences in numbers. There are about 2,800 pieces of chess pieces. On the other hand, the number of stone statues reached 30,000, more than ten times that number. "Surely I have to admit that I am different from the humans who have come so far." The soulless murmured lowly. Although the Tower of Trials has been opened and faced with many challenges. It was the first time he had challenged himself in such a unique way. It was the first time I felt threatened. I''ll admit one. Jinhyuk shrugged. This is what I can''t do, even if I don''t want to admit it. Why do you seem to be getting more and more stupid? What, what? Isn''t that right? They''re just being vigilant because they''ve won several times against the weak ones. So, they''re not staying on the 3rd floor. Because they don''t have the skills to go upstairs. The boss monsters in the Tower of Trials act as gatekeepers on each floor and at the same time exert influence on that floor. It means a manager who rules a kind of floor. However, not only the players but also they were able to expand their power by climbing the tower. If you have enough power to do that. Haha, this is true. A ferocious human being. The innocence burst out laughing. It was a laugh that was somehow mixed with self-help, filled with anger and despair. Are you thinking that I can''t cross the 4th floor area because I don''t have enough strength? I didn''t just think about it, but I said it face-to-face. Oh! By any chance, if I didn''t convey the meaning correctly, I''ll tell you again. Your level is not even 4th floor. ''3rd floor Ji Park-ryeong''. That''s a position that suits you. This death has become more blatant. It''s an outright assault. to turn your stomach. Even shaking your opponent like that seems to be your plan. But the unmarried did not take the bait. Yeah. You can say whatever you want. However, let me tell you that the absolute difference in troops and the superiority of tactics can never be overturned. Rather, he calmly judged the situation and began to lead his subordinates. thud! thud! thud! thud! thud! The stone statues moved in a hurry. In an instant, a perfect herpes was formed. Despite the overwhelming difference in troops, Mu-Hon was determined to take Jin-Hyeok and crush him with all his might. Even if you just play a war of exhaustion, your soldiers will wither to death. 2,000 to 30,000 troops. If it started to decline at the same rate, it was all too obvious who would win. And. If you make even one mistake, that''s the end of this fight. Poor judgment will lead to the annihilation of the entire army. The young man slowly got up from his seat. I looked down on all the battlefields from the splendidly fragmented stone statues. good. with a low-pitched voice. Oooh! Oooh! The stone statues in the front smashed into the ground. The curtain of war has risen. Now is the start. Jinhyuk looked at the stone statues rushing. Rather than sending all the troops at once, an advance squad of about 1,000 was rapidly closing the distance. After all, are you planning to see this side''s response first? If the response is inexperienced, I''ll send the rest of the troops right away. In other words, singleness is being tested now. ''I''m not sure if I''m just a mouth-watering guy.'' eating. A laugh came out of Jinhyuk''s mouth. [The ability of ''First Chessboard'' is activated!] [Field magic ''Battlefield Domination'' is activated!] [Increases the ATK and DEF of all chess pieces on the field by 30%!] [Your morale is increased by 10%!] Pants... ! A blue mana that spreads along the ground. The bodies of the chess pieces on it also began to glow softly. number? Of course, less. That''s absurd to compare. However, Do not assume that the combat power of each entity is the same. Pawns in the center take five steps back. Left and right pawns move one step forward. Jinhyuk gave the order. OK. Chunkyung! Chunkyung! The pawns armed with black iron armor quickly changed their formation. [Chess piece ''Pawn'' activates ''Iron Patience''!] The 2m-long shield was also embedded deep into the ground. It was to prepare for the shock to come. thud! thud! thud! thud! The footsteps of the stone statues grew louder. The ground shook and the moisture in the air dried up. And at that very moment. Aww! Gray waves crashed over the black wall. A deafening roar resounded from the clash of iron and steel. From now on, it is a battle of pure power and power. kuku! The pawns were pushed back a bit, but the solidly formed streak didn''t break. A brief stalemate ensued. Now! Jinhyuk shouted. [Chess piece ''Look'' activates ''Multiple Fire''!] Steel arrows were fired in unison during the taut protest. puff puff puff! Puffy! Parabolic arrows pierced the side of the statue. Oh oh oh oh! Oooh! The stone statues gathered in one place to defend the arrows. He spread the small shield in a circle, trying to get rid of the blind spots. But that was a mistake. This time, a huge flame started flying from the other side. [Chess piece ''Bishop'' activates ''Flame Strike''!] Before the battle, the bishops who were casting released the compressed mana. Fire rain began to fall from the sky like a meteor shower. puff puff! Whoops! In an instant, there was a huge creator in the middle of the ground. Broken body and blown limbs. The stone statues that had completely turned into rags groaned. it''s great power In particular, since they were concentrated to avoid arrows, the damage was greater than expected. Of course, even this was the composition Jinhyuk drew. great. The pain seems to have been enough, now it''s time to stop breathing altogether. Go ahead. with short commands. The pawns pulled out the shield that had been plugged into the ground. It was not to hold on any longer, but to move forward. like that. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A unilateral massacre had begun. Oh. An exclamation flowed from the mouth of the unmarried man who was watching. I expected it to be a tight battle. Surprisingly, the first battle ended quickly. The 1,000 or so stone statues sent to the advance squad were all destroyed. On the other hand, less than 100 pieces of chess pieces were knocked down. Truly one-sided defeat. ''If we fight with the same number, we can''t win.'' The front with the shield soldiers was quite solid. If you push with a number, you will be able to pierce it, but the damage from this side will not be too great. However, just confirming this was worth sending an advance squad. [Unsoul activates Lv14 ''Military Strategy''!] A battlefield experience that has been fought countless times. ''Military strategy'' is a skill that derives optimal results based on the vast amount of accumulated records. The reason the raids had such a hard time with this boss was because they were swayed by excellent tactics and strategies. ''The overall dust protection itself is good, but there is a gap on the left side.'' Relatively thin walls. In addition, bishops that take a long time to cast were mainly located. It''s an appetizing break. It felt like the whole thing was going to collapse even if it stung even a little. But why? Muhon did not immediately issue an order to attack. ''It looks too appetizing.'' It''s like having poison or an apple in front of you. there is something That''s why I didn''t want to move in haste until I figured out what kind of poison was in the apple. [Unsoul activates Lv14 ''Weakness Insight''!] When the skill was activated, the status window appeared one after another. 1. If you destroy the ''crown'' on the chessboard, all chess pieces are destroyed. 2. The crown is ''King'' Or only ''Queen'' can use it. 3. The crowned king or queen must be protected from the innermost chess pieces. 4. All stats increase by 100% when a king or queen is not wearing a crown when fighting an opponent. Only the king and queen can wear the crown. The unmarried eyes narrowed. ''Is that girl playing the role of Queen?'' Among the soldiers surrounded by layers, a silver-haired girl was seen wearing a crown. On the other hand, Jinhyuk, who can be called a king, was leading the ''Knights'' and was preparing to move somewhere. right then Something flashed through his mind. ''It was like that.'' Now I understand the other person''s intentions. To intentionally create a gap means to induce an attack. If so, why did you try to induce an attack? The unmarried thought spread further from there. ''To fight me.'' To be precise, the 4th trait ''The effect of increasing all stats by 100% when fighting the enemy'' is probably because. On the surface, he said that he would not sacrifice his subordinates or that he would fight in the front. Inwardly, he used the entire base as a bait to aim for the life of this side. ''That''s fun.'' Contrary to its sullen appearance, it has about 100 serpents in its belly. However, as long as you find out the purpose, you will be able to take advantage of this point. ''Do whatever you want. Instead, my men will strike your queen before your sword reaches me.'' The corners of the unmarried lips slowly turned upwards. '' Are you thinking?'' Jinhyuk relaxed and relaxed. Having provoked so much, the Unmarried will now want the safest and surest victory possible. It''s a natural thing. If I ever lose, I won''t be able to bear the shame. ''And as long as you have the skill to detect weaknesses, of course, you will also understand the weaknesses of my intentions and tactics.'' A certainty that has been hardened through the process of having a question and solving it. The smarter the guy, the more he puts things in the situation to his liking. Of course, the cost of being wrong will be painful. That was then. Are you really okay? Alice, who was wearing a crown, spoke to me. Why are you worried? Of course I''m worried. Well, I know you''re not normal. But, he''s not that kind of guy either. It''s not like he''s guarding the third floor without any skills. I don''t think it''s the first time I''ve seen you compliment me like that. So, are they really stronger than you and your blood relatives? What! What is that...! Are you comparing these empty-headed stones with this noble nobility of the night? Even if I wasn''t imprisoned in a real corridor, a guy like that...! Alice raised her voice. Seeing him raging, all the tension seems to have been released. Don''t worry, everyone has an idea. You just have to keep the crown here as I told you. Who will keep the crown longer? Who will cut the enemy''s head first? Those two will be the key factors that will determine the victory or defeat of this fight. And Jinhyuk already had the answer. CH 67 . One Man Legion (3) " Is that possible? No, is it really that your opponent will come out like that?" As if in disbelief, Elise widened her eyes. It was just hard to believe. Not only did he read the number of his opponents, but he also saw through the character of an unmarried man like a stilt after 10 years. Above all, the Hidden card prepared at the end was a method that even Alice herself had never imagined. "You are you really? Are you a human?" Alice swallowed dry saliva. From the first time we met, I knew more than anyone that Jinhyuk was amazing. What happened to this was a series of surprises the more I spread it. I''m just one of those people who like this world. 11 years is a year. I enjoyed this world more than anyone else. That''s why I cling to this world more than anyone else. I''m not a talented person to learn everything at once. Not even the sacrum born with excellent specifications from the beginning. Worn out and worn out. That''s all. Whoa. It''s really your answer. Alice let out a small sigh. This is because he realized that no matter how much he asked, he would not be able to hear an answer to Jinhyuk''s true identity. Take care of what you wear on your head. That''s expensive. Don''t worry. I''m not the type of person to lose what I got once. Eat! Anyway, I''m sorry. Well then, see you later. Jinhyeok, who had said goodbye, departed from the center where Ellis was. The place we arrived at across the chess pieces was a wide open space on the far right. Jinhyuk blew a whistle. OK. Doo doo doo doo! Heavy armored cavalry armed with charging lances lined up on either side of Jinhyeok. Did you call? An emotionless voice came from the knight on horseback. Unlike other chess pieces, a special object with added intelligence. These were the ''nights'' that were saved for this very moment. And among them, a black horse, completely covered in black armor, approached. ''It''s been a while since I rode a horse.'' Jinhyuk stroked the black horse''s mane. From the relatively common ones, such as horses and dire wolves. Even mythical beasts like Phoenix and Dragon. There are literally thousands of ''mounts'' in the Tower of Trials. Naturally, Jinhyuk has ridden all the existing vehicles. Rather, it was awkward to ride a horse because it was mainly used for unusual and rare things. Jinhyuk climbed onto the saddle. Hey hey! The horse shook violently. However, it was only for a short time. With his gentle and skillful hand movements, the running horse soon regained stability. let''s go. Jinhyuk grabbed the lance. All right. Dark Energy immediately bowed its head. Doo doo doo doo doo! 300 knights began to cross the bamboo forest. The sound of horseshoes resounded loudly. right then Oooh! Oooh! Among the stone statues, I saw men with unusually long arms and legs running towards me. The number is about three thousand. However, each of them consisted of only medium-sized or stronger guys. ''You''re aiming for the main camp.'' It''s ambiguous to go back to block it, but it is also ambiguous to ignore it. That''s just that number of troops. Perhaps that was also the aim of the unmarried. How do I do this? Ignore it. As much as 3,000 escaped, the enemy''s wall must have gotten thinner. Jinhyuk pointed to an empty gap in the center of the statues. As soon as we dig in, the forces on both flanks will block the escape route. I will. Know. It''s almost like that''s a gap that was intentionally opened. The purpose of the opponent is to lure us all the way inside and lock us in, and in the meantime, take Elise''s crown. Just by looking at the large class in the center and the smaller ones on both sides, the intention was felt. However, all of these operations are possible when one major premise is established. The 3,000 annihilators sent by him take the crown. ''The premise is that it will be faster than I hit him on the neck.'' Doo doo doo! Jinhyuk increased the speed of his horse even more. All of a sudden, the enemy came close. I will break through at once! Simultaneously with the loud shouting, the lance he was holding in his hand turned forward. [Chess piece ''Knight'' activates ''Wedge Formation''!] [Damage on impact is increased by 200%!] An assault formation that can create maximum destructive power even with a small number. 300 knights dug into the middle of the enemy line. KwaKwaKwa Kwa Kwa Kwa! The fragments of the stone statues pierced by the lance were thrown out in all directions. It is formidable power. Because the one-point break through the combination of weight and speed destroyed all the layers of defense lines. Jin-hyeok, who was at the forefront, captured the troops and dug deeper and deeper. Some statues desperately resisted, but unless they were named in the first place, they could not hold onto Jinhyuk''s ankles. When a minute had passed like that. The knights led by Jinhyeok were able to reach the deepest part of the enemy camp. Jinhyuk raised his head. Then, I saw the figure of a soulless man standing on a stone statue adorned with jewels. '' You''re laughing.'' The corners of his mouth were twisted and his face, confident of victory, was quite remarkable. Well, you''ve come this far, human. It deserves praise for leading such a small number to the front of this body. Stop talking nonsense like that. We all know that it was intentionally opened. Hey. Did you know it was a trap? That''s the story. It''s funny, but, why did you walk into your limbs? Huh? Buy? To me, it looks like a midsummer night on the banks of the Han River? Look. They also sell beer on yakitori over there. ...to take your time even in this situation. At this point, I even think that I overestimated you. Muhon slowly raised both of his palms. Well, it''s okay. Won''t you entrust the crown to a skinny girl, or just bring that number to this place... It won''t be worth dealing with anymore. And just put your palms together. "Stop it." thud! thud! thud! thud! thud! It was then that the stone statues on either side began to move. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. ''I''ve even summoned the Greek statue of David and the Daejeok Geumgang.'' Like the Cheonsu Cheonan Guanyin, quite powerful named monsters appeared one after another. kwaang! kwaaang! The knights could not resist properly and began to crumble. The armor was split in half and the lance shattered. Puhahaha! There aren''t any better ones in the Shiva world! Daeyejeokgeumgang, who bursts into laughter. Hmm. I can''t even see a human with perfect proportions. A statue of David scanning the enemy''s body up and down. Combat maniac and pervert are in one place. This is also a rare sight... . Indeed, the amount of mana you have is huge. Seeing that he was able to control all those ignorant bastards, the mana must have been full up to his throat. ''The boss is the boss, this is it.'' However. Despite the overwhelmingly unfavorable situation, there was no sign of tension on Jinhyuk''s face. Rather, he looked at the unmarried man with a smile on his face. Are you crazy? Why are you laughing? I''ll just point out two things you''re misunderstanding. Jinhyuk folded his first finger. "First of all, the statues you sent. I think they were sent by people who were quite confident right?" Yes. Only the elite and sent. No matter what mission is given, they can be trusted and entrusted. So do i. what? "The guy I entrusted with the crown is someone I can trust and trust." Just when Jinhyuk finished his words. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Red blood gushed out from afar. Such junk! Dare. Whose head are you trying to put your hand on? Alice''s face contorted violently. [[Ellis is Lv??] Activates ''Rain of Fresh Blood''!] Hundreds of harpoons made of blood covered the sky. There were many numbers, but all of them were loaded with mana. The sunlight disappeared, and black clouds fell in its place. die. Alice sighed coldly. end with that The stone statues began to crumble in countless blood streams pouring from the sky. There was a carpet bombing that you can only see in movies. Even that, the supply of mana is limited, so that''s it. If he could use his full power, the whole area would have been devastated. What, what? The soulless man, who had been watching the scene, took a deep breath. I deliberately selected and sent only those who specialized in person-to-person warfare rather than group warfare. In front of the white-haired girl, she was nothing more than a paper soldier. That''s absurd. Didn''t even a stone statue corresponding to a name mix among them? But, how... . While feeling the shock as if a single person had been struck with a hammer in the head. Jinhyuk folded his second finger. And next. It opened up a rift to pull me in. That''s exactly what I was looking for. The trigger conditions were quite difficult, but all the conditions were met just in time. [Loads ''Memories of the World''] Jinhyuk summoned the great library where his unique abilities and skills were stored. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The ability to become the material of fusion is ''Hyeolmagi'' and ''Mandala''. It fuses two different abilities with opposite tendencies to create the ability to turn this fight around. [The unique ability ''Blood Magic'' and ''Mandala'' are fused!] [You have succeeded in fusion!] [You have acquired the skill ''Double Spy (S)''!] [Rank is lowered from S to A because the activation conditions are very difficult.] [Double spy] Acquisition Difficulty: A What: You can brainwash some of your enemies, making them point their swords at each other. However, the target of the double spy must be a ''Summon'' summoned by the boss monster, and can only be used when the distance from the ''Boss Monster'' that summons the summons is within 5m. thanks. Because it brings you to a range where you can activate your abilities. Thanks to you, I was able to use this ability. [Lv1 ''Double Spy'' is activated!] Pants! A transparent wave radiated from Jinhyuk''s body. And at that very moment. Oooh! A strange thing happened in the densely spread siege. The swords and spears aiming at Jinhyuk and the knight were directed at the comrade who was right next to them. Whoops! Kaga! Simultaneously, almost half of the statues began to run rampantly, regardless of the enemy. Even among them, a stone statue corresponding to a named class was included. I like the proportions of the body. Damn western puppies! Daeyeokgeumgang hit David''s face. Aww! Unsightly cracks were painted on David''s face. Hey, what''s happening all of a sudden? "Shut up! From the beginning, I didn''t like your face like that parasitic brother, nor did you like your slack abs and thighs!" As long as he has already been attacked by the ''double spy'' ability, it is useless to say anything. Now, in the eyes of Daeyejeokgeumgang, David statue will be seen as the enemy of Daecheon. A battlefield that quickly turned into chaos. Damn it. Were you acting on purpose for this? The soulless clenched his molars and bit them tightly. I dug a trap in a trap. If you want to catch a guy with good hair, you can''t just braid it once. So I added a little more seasoning. No matter how good the taste, the person who lives in it has no choice but to get caught. Why is it that there is a saying that the flower of a gura is a reverse gura? Anyway... . This made the situation equal. "It''s round two from now on." CH 68 . Solo Legion (4) There is only one player who came here. However, only one person possessed the power of tens of thousands. [''Black Leaf'' is activated.] [The stone statues with the effect of corruption are weakened at a fast rate.] To accelerate the climax. Used until the last card. The surface of the stone statues dyed black. Troops who boasted invincibility. The subordinates who boasted invincibility. slowly collapsed Hey, this is absurd... The soulless staggered backwards. The stone statue he was riding on also retreated back together to protect the owner. But, it''s no use. The numerous stone statues that had already protected him were busy fighting amongst themselves. Above all, the summoned beggars are annoying, and the power of the unmarried body did not reach even a single named monster. [Lv3 Glacier Sculpting is activated!] kukukuku! A thin wall of ice blocked the path of the soulless soul. Where are you going to run away? It''s going to be fun from now on, but what if I''m already trying to leave? At least you should see the ending. I can''t admit it. The ability to interfere with the command system of the summons... There''s no way there''s such a thing! The unmarried shouted His face turned pale and his voice trembled. Well, from the guy''s point of view, this situation would be unacceptable. "It''s freedom to deny reality, but the more you do it, the more ugly you become." Jinhyuk raised the mana. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A golden cloud fluttered across his fingertips. The ''mandala'' is about to be activated. Did you feel that the flowing mana is unusual? The soulless hurriedly jumped off the head of the statue. Stop it! Stop that guy! somehow... . Somehow the mandala must be killed before it fully blooms. Oooh! A stone statue adorned with splendid jewels raised both hands high. A shadow fell over Jinhyuk''s head. Aww! The ground cracked like a tortoise shell. But there was nothing in the place where the stone was struck. If you''re in a corner, the habit of passing it on to your subordinates and only running away is still there. body soaring high in the sky. Suddenly, Jinhyuk''s hand was holding a bow made of ''glacier modeling''. Of course, arrows are not ice. A golden arrow made of the light of a mandala in full bloom was about to leave the protest. [Glacier modeling and mandala resonate!] [''Perm''s Arrow'' is activated!] A single ray of light flashed out. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The light that crossed in a straight line pierced the soulless heart. Chi profit! Heat rose from the wind hole in the middle of his chest. Bill... damn it! The soulless looked down at the wound with a face mixed with emptiness and despair. However, it was only for a short time. Because no living creature could survive unless it lost its heart. The soulless body that had been staggering fell as it was. And at that very moment. [The 3rd floor boss monster ''No Soul'' has fallen!] [The 4th floor of the Tower of Trials is open!] [Time remaining until conquering next floor: 89D 23h:59m:59s] [Level has risen.] [Level has risen.] [Level has risen.] [Level has risen.] [Level has risen.] A golden status window appeared one after another in the sky. Finally conquered the 3rd floor. In addition, the level went up five at a time. Considering that the increase in the experience value increases as time goes on, it was a huge achievement. It''s a stat, you can invest in mana... Next is the time to acquire the rewards of this raid. Jinhyuk crossed between the stopped stone statues. I saw a box lying in front of the unmarried corpse. This? Jinhyuk''s pupils trembled slightly. Wash, week, no, second, green, male, bo. It refers to the seven colors that divide the grade of treasure that can be obtained after dealing with advanced relics or boss monsters on the 3rd floor. By the way. ''Surely, the orange grade will come out.'' All grades within the 10th floor are ''red''. However, what is in front of you is an ''orange'' one step higher than that. was the grade. The reason was guessed. It''s probably because of the effect of ''take-all'', which gives you the best reward when you hunt alone. pounding! pounding! pounding! Jinhyuk''s heart was beating rapidly. Again, the most exhilarating and exciting moment is when you check the reward for your hard work. [''Unknown Treasure Chest'' opens!] With the dazzling light, the items in the box were revealed. [There are a total of 7 items in the box.] [You have acquired 4 Pink Diamonds.] [You have acquired the ''Priority base designation right''.] [You have obtained ''Malangmalang 1kg''] [You have acquired ''Natural Water 50L''.] [[''Seed of Solar''] You have acquired 5 caps.] [[''Fire-spitting snail''] You have acquired 3 of them.] If it was a red box, it would have contained at most three. Indeed, the orange grade is the orange grade. ''Hey, I gave it to you thickly.'' Even this is a satisfactory enough reward. I thought it was enough and overflowing... . However. Ugh? After checking the last item list, Jinhyuk had to barely swallow the shouts that came out. [Stone that blocks the sun] haha. The corner of Jinhyuk''s mouth went up. One of the best things you could get out of a single person came out. ''If you catch 100 times, I know that there is a probability that it will come out once or not.'' crazy It was a moment when I realized once again that the effect of ''reading to read'' is enormous. maybe this... . ''I don''t know if I can suck a lot of honey even if I attack the 4th floor?'' Jinhyuk began to draw a new plan, thinking of the not-too-distant future. [The 4th floor has been opened.] This message was also sent to all players in the Tower of Trials. What, what? The fourth floor is open? You mean you''ve caught the boss! The players who were active in the tower were the flagships. The boss monster on the 3rd floor, who had so much trouble, fell. It was hard to believe when I thought about the successive failures so far. Isn''t even the schedule of a large guild empty right now? However, seeing the status window that appeared in front of me, I couldn''t help but deny it. This was reality. Really you''ve succeeded. Patrick of the Olympus Guild swallowed dry saliva. When I first met the masked player, I was skeptical. I had no choice but to do so. Even a perfectly matched raid couldn''t touch a single hair on the boss. But all those doubts melted away like snow at this moment. "It''s also solo." The face of European ranker Maria was also mixed with complex emotions. The relief that comes from the fact that mankind has not perished, and the sense of shame that comes from the overwhelming difference in ability. Those two emotions ran through my head. The birth of a hero. But I''m really glad that I earned 90 days until I attacked the next floor. "This time, I have to prepare diligently." The other rankers also spit out a word each. On the other hand, Tenwei, who had a lot of dissatisfaction, clicked his tongue hard. Fortunately? Lucky? Stupid! Do you think the success of this raid will really benefit us? He''s going to suck up all the views in the future? ...! " " Everyone stopped. For sure, that''s what it says. Currently, the whole community was covered with stories about a player called Unknown. After the highlight video about the overall boss raid was uploaded, the phenomenon was getting more intense. -Top New Soldier: Wasn''t that a very strong name for the Thousand Shroud Gwaneum? -Donghak Ant Movement: Could it be called a blender for nothing? You''ve been separated from your family. -To me, soccer is murder: oo. So most raids also went the other way to avoid him. -Kingdom 3: Wow. But did you slaughter it? Alone too? -Does your ancestors listen to the bong weight?: Besides, it was crazy to use chess pieces as pets when catching boss mobs. - Sae Young Eon Hwan: Future channel ''Unknown'' Thank you so much for your subscription and love! Unknown is the future! - Above the white water, the number: 5252 I believed it! -A dog that barks when he sees a dead person: Wow! Arr! Wow! Wow! Crap! -Daraami S2: The big guilds did a lot of publicity, but they didn''t really show anything lol. -Shiva is Shiva Shiva: Why don''t you just hand over the entire guild to Uncle? The fusion skill and the existence of Elise were edited by Jinhyeok, so the probability was insufficient, but nonetheless, the colorful and cool video was not enough to satisfy everyone''s needs. It''s overwhelmingly popular. At this point, there can be no borderline. Hmm. It could weaken our position. I didn''t really like it. A noisy interior. The atmosphere gets weird. A sigh of relief soon turned into envy and jealousy. right then What does that mean now? Teresa jumped up from her seat. What do you mean? Tenwei immediately asked. We all survived thanks to him. To be honest, who among the people here can deal with the boss monster? Who can go to hell with newcomers who haven''t had enough real-world experience yet. Instead of saying thank you, they''re concerned about their rice bowls first. It''s like saving the drowning guys and asking them to give them a bag. Of course, the thing I didn''t like the most was Tenwei, who was outspokenly criticizing him. Ha. Are you on the side of that guy as an acquaintance? I was just telling the truth. Teresa drew the line. And if the rest of you have the same thoughts as Mo Yong-hwang... I will no longer participate as a member of this alliance. "Wait, you mean you''re going to leave ''The Talks''?" Patrick was surprised and asked hurriedly. yea that''s the way it is It is here that even the rankers and prospects that grow raw meat all over the world try to somehow make a connection. Of course, no one was elected, and as wealth and honor were guaranteed, no one wanted to leave. But Teresa''s expression was firm. Do you believe that much? The man? Yes. I believe. I believe in it more than anyone else. If there is a player who will see the end of the tower... . That person is only one. And if you have to put that person and everyone else on the scales. Of course, there is only one to choose. Teresa was convinced. same time. Jinhyeok, who got all the rewards, left the Tower of Trials. Before going to the 4th floor in earnest, I was thinking of taking a break and recovering my stamina. ''Now that we have achieved more than expected, shall we indulge in some extravagance?'' I''ll take a 5-star hotel, take a hot bath, and then enjoy a full course meal. ''When I was a BJ, it was difficult to even eat one meal a day because I was paying the monthly rent and utility bills.'' Even so, there were many times when I starved for two days to get food for the mukbang. However, no more. I could earn 300 million won just by selling one pink diamond I got a while ago. Jinhyuk''s stomach shook with the expectation that he could spend a proper day for the first time in his life. But that was then. uuung! The smartphone in my inner pocket vibrated violently. [Sender: Flexibility] After checking the name displayed on the screen, Jinhyuk dragged the call sign. Hello? brother ! Yoo Yeon-hwa''s voice was trembling. As if everything was about to fall apart. CH 69 . mana runaway The voice is not serious. What''s going on, Yeonhwa? Jinhyuk asked carefully. Oppa, Grandpa..., Grandpa has passed away. I don''t think I''ll be able to get through the night at this rate... If it''s Yeon-hwa''s grandfather, is it, Chun-young Yoo? Come to think of it, I remember Kim Ki-tae talking about Yoo Chun-young during the awakening test. Obviously, I asked if you were okay. Yoo Yeon-hwa responded with an angry response. With the nickname ''Bulgwangdong Nuclear Fist'' [The deceased who shared the Tower of Trials.] ''If Yeon-hwa, who always smiled brightly, became so disturbed and contacted... .'' There will be no hope anymore. I guess I just want to share this sadness with someone with the feeling of catching straw. where are you? Huh? Where are you now? Seoul National University Hospital. But, even if my brother comes... Seoul National University Hospital. I guess I''ll have to change my schedule a bit tonight. Wait for now. I''ll be there in 30 minutes. Brother, here it is. I saw Yoo Yeon-hwa waiting in front of the hospital room. Thank you for coming here. I... I really don''t know who to tell. A haggard and haggard face. I cried so much that my eyes were full of tears. I know you are sad, but right now, the priority is to understand the type of illness. Can you tell me what disease it is? It''s a symptom of mana''s runaway. My grandfather had a chronic illness, but after the Tower of Trials appeared, the symptoms suddenly got much worse. The mana of the tower poured out. This led to several changes. Artifacts stored in museums become relics or relics. It was also one of the examples to cause various side effects like now. The cause was roughly predictable. ''It must have something to do with the martial arts that senior Yoo Chun-young learned.'' The tower''s mana and the long-accumulating novelty caused a rejection reaction, which led to a runaway. Maybe I can work it out. I, really? At Jinhyuk''s words, Yoo Yeonhwa''s eyes widened rapidly. Can you save the grandfather who everyone gave up on? Chances are slim, but... . It felt like my frozen heart melted in an instant just by the fact that there was now a glimmer of hope. First, I''ll have to take a look at the condition myself. Are you in here? Yeah, wait a minute. After wiping away her tears, Yoo Yeon-hwa opened the door to the hospital room. kkiiik! A particularly loud roar rang out. When I entered the hospital room, I saw a dozen people. Doctors and nurses in white gowns, healers holding sticks that look like magic tools, and sturdy men in uniforms. Of course, the most striking among them was an old man with a strong body, lying unconsciously on the bed. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. This is Yoo Chun-young. ''Is Korea the strongest?'' Name: Yoo Cheon-young Gender: Male Age: 78 Level: 5 Strength 25 Dexterity 50 Stamina 38 mana 7 Spirit 103 Stat Points you have: 0 Coins held: 0 Occupation: None Unique Ability: Taegeuk Intangible skill: Lv13 ''Jintae Cheonghwarang Heart Method'', Lv12 ''Immortal Warfare'', Lv12 ''Ganghwa'', Lv11 ''One Dangbaek (һ)'' [Copy Conditions: Currently, healers have long been making the death of Yoo Chun-young a fact. If you save Yoo Chun-young''s life after revealing the plans of the leeches that eat tens of billions of dollars even though you are convinced that there is no hope, you can copy one of his skills.] Yoo Chun-young''s stat window as seen through ''Eyes of Gluttony'' was truly splendid. It''s only level 5. However, you should not judge this person simply by his level. The specific ranking of the players has not been decided yet, but if you were to pick the most powerful person in Korea so far, by far the name of Yoo Chun-young came first. Regardless of the level and unique ability, it means that the ability she has purely is that great. ''He said he had never entered a dungeon, and that was true.'' Just once, the level that has been raised to deal with the monsters that popped out with Outbreak must be the only thing. It happened while I was in the labyrinth, so it''s a bit unfortunate that I didn''t see it. ''That''s why I came all the way here on purpose.'' Why did you leave behind a comfortable rest and a delicious meal to come here? Of course, familiarity with Yoo Yeon-hwa also played a part, but the most important thing was to get an opportunity to copy abilities and skills from a healthy person. The opportunity to meet a giant as big as Yoo Chun-young didn''t come very often. right then Lady Yeonhwa. Where are you coming from? It''s time to leave... Huh? One of the healers who had been scolded suddenly took a deep breath. It is because I saw someone who was very familiar with the background of Yoo Yeon-hwa. Go, this is Kang Jin-hyuk player! This time I got an S rank!? That''s right. That''s him. What''s going on here? How could you not know? The player that is currently the hottest issue in Korea. Not only was he awarded an S-class with an overwhelming mana figure, but the dance he showed against Cheon Yu-seong and Hong Deok-pyo in the dance hall was a memory that is hard to forget. Oh, how do you know that lady? "I''ve known Jinhyuk oppa for a long time. We came together because he said he would take care of his grandfather." Yeah? If you look at the status... "Is it possible that player Kang Jin-hyuk is going to treat you?" Everyone in the room uttered suspicious voices. It must be hard to believe Because he showed up out of nowhere and said that he would fix something that no one could fix. No, it looked like he was terrified that something more important would be revealed beyond what was hard to believe. [Damn it. Why did the ranker suddenly pop out?] [You didn''t notice that we were sucking money while doing life-sustaining treatment, did you?] [Hey. yes, no doubt Can someone who can only fight back and forth can tell the difference between veins and arteries?] Through ''Mind Reading'', one of the abilities of ''Eyes of Gluttony'', the healers'' inner hearts were heard. Those who do business with the hopes of others are the most trash. These guys were the worst. Yoo Yeon-hwa knows that she will never give up on her grandfather. ''Disgusting guys.'' They make others cry to fill their own teeth, isn''t it? Jinhyuk''s face turned cold. And at that very moment. The subspace inventory has been opened. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo What appeared with the pouring light was the liquid contained in the glass bottle, ''Elixir''. However, even after seeing the Elixir, which is called the all-purpose elixir, the healers'' complexion did not change. On the contrary, there were even people who even clicked their tongues as if they knew they were going to get it out. I know what you''re thinking, but we''ve used Elixir a few times. Heo Jin-soo, the representative of healers, opened his mouth. You''re trying to treat Yoo Chun-young, but have you not done anything? Of course, he poured out everything he could, including various elixirs and medicinal herbs. Well, you must have a talent for fighting, but this field is completely different. It''s different. No materials currently in the Tower of Trials can contain this disease. It''s okay. Don''t make the patient''s condition worse with clumsy knowledge. Words of ridicule and accusations flowed out. What? Do I have to dare to say that they seem to be blaming them not to cross their sanctuary? I could feel the egotism of elitist and authority. Now I understand the copy conditions the system has put forward. It must have been disgusting to act as if you knew everything about the Tower with your ignorant knowledge. That mind, I fully understand. therefore. I want to take a more serious picture and press it. Jinhyuk tilted his head pretending not to know. Um. By all means, did you use the elixir as it is? That''s of course... Haha. I don''t think people who are well versed in this field would have poured an elixir into the throat of a mana runaway patient. Unless the head is empty. Big. Hmm! Khuh Hm! The healers'' faces turned red. It''s because of being stabbed in the corner. However, if I got angry or protested even a single word, I was just admitting what the other person was saying, so I had to bite my lip and swallow the anger inside. great. Now they look like docile sheep. "The reason this man''s symptoms got worse is because the mental method he had been training in went against that of mana from the tower. It was aggravating the chronic disease with different qualities of mana. , which means that the disease can be restored. Well, then, does player Jinhyuk Kang know how to do that? Sure, I know. Just like the great healers here. Yes? A. Why are you being so modest? You already know that this method can only be used when the patient''s symptoms worsen and he falls into a coma. So, didn''t you purposely wait patiently until now? Jinhyuk smiled brightly. A third person might think that a smile is attractive. From the standpoint of the healers who were facing each other, it was a smile that made them want to hit them with a stick at any moment. ''If you say you don''t know here, you will never set foot in this industry again.'' Heo Jin-soo bit her molars. A healer with lower skills than a combat player. If it were even a rumor, just imagining it would be terrifying. No, of course it is. We were waiting for that too. Okay! Then, with my short knowledge, I''ll learn a few of the healers'' skills and become a Treasured sword. Jinhyuk took a step back. Then, Heo Jin-soo''s expression distorted as if he had chewed poop. Well, I know how to do it, but I think it will take some time to collect it again because it consumes so many materials. It will take at least a few hours, so I would like player Jinhyuk Kang to do it for me. Hmm, that''s weird. It''s strange, what do you mean? The lack of ingredients. From my point of view, it is normal to have leftovers for a long time. slurred words. " Haw!?" Heo Jin-soo took a breath involuntarily. One facial expression management is fast. But, it''s no use. It was because I was already hearing all of his inner thoughts through ''Eyes of Gluttony''. [Uh, how Are you simply thinking about it? Or maybe, you don''t know about the back money, do you?] well. How did you find out? The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. [I am the only person who knows about the account. In particular, the borrowed-name accounts and Bitcoin wallet addresses distributed in 7 places cannot be found even if he is a god.] Looking at the borrowed-name account, hey. Now that I see, did you even have bitcoins? Since you spent tens of billions of dollars in total, of course you didn''t even have the money to buy ingredients. "No, it''s impossible to say " Heo Jin-soo staggered and took a step back. It has no choice but to expose all the facts that we could never find out. ''It''s also a deceptive ability.'' Although there were conditions attached, the power to read other people''s minds showed overwhelming power anytime and anywhere. By the way. [never .] In the subsequent thoughts of Heo Jin-soo. [ ] I can''t.] This time, an earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk''s pupil. CH 70 . tower dweller (1) [How much do you know?] Heo Jin-soo''s true feelings were conveyed. And the content was shocking. [Here, I have to end it. never Even the fact that the Black Fortune Guild and the ''residents'' had come into contact should not be detected.] Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. What the hell is this guy talking about? Could it be that it wasn''t just for money? In an instant, the copy condition flashed through Jinhyuk''s mind once again. ''Uncover your plans''. At first, I thought it was simply to dig up the corruption, but there was a dark curtain that was hidden deeper. Heukwoon Guild, one of the top guilds in Korea. Even stories about ''residents'' who have lived in the tower for a long time will come out. The player conquered the 3rd floor. However, residents who can freely roam the floor of the tower can only meet after reaching the 15th floor. That''s right. ''It must mean that the resident contacted the father''s guild to fight first.'' I don''t know the reason or purpose. However, one thing is certain, that their interests are aligned and that Chun-Young Yoo gets in the way of their future plans. ''From their point of view, humanity and the player must be external enemies that threaten the tower... .'' This is what makes things fun. right then Brother, what do you mean? You mean they stole the money they gave you to heal Master? Hey, you fucking bastards! What the hell did Don do this to? Don''t even think about surviving here today! People who followed Yoo Chun-young, including Yoo Yeon-hwa, shouted. The healers I trusted and trusted hit the back of the head, so my anger soared. The moment the sword that was worn around his waist was about to be pulled out at any moment. Leave them to me. Jinhyuk intervened. "Player Jinhyuk Kang. Thank you for revealing the truth to Primary God, but I don''t think the anger will go away without killing these guys right here." I''m sorry, but I feel the same way. To have entrusted Master to these guys... The disciples expressed their feelings as if they were swallowing tears of blood. It doesn''t look like it will be easy to dry. Instead, I''ll treat Elder Chun-Young Yoo. Right now. Right here. ...! Hey, is that possible? At Jinhyuk''s words, the half-drawn sword entered the scabbard. Revenge was important, but the most important thing right now was to save Yoo Chun-young. Of course it''s possible. I''ve dealt with even more troubling plagues, but only one mana runaway. If you go to the top of the tower, this is just the flu level. ''Let''s see... .'' Jinhyuk grabbed some sap and some medicines on the medical table. Naturally, these are props for performance. To hide the fusion skill and to properly light the place. Jin-hyeok, who had finished preparing, turned to Heo Jin-soo this time. take a good look How to use Elixir. [The unique abilities ''Star Blessing'' and ''Elixir'' are fused!] [Successful in fusion!] [You have acquired the special item ''Star Tears (SS)''!] [A cooldown of 90 days is required to fuse ''Star Tears'' again.] huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo In an instant, the color of the elixir changed. An indescribable bright light flashed along the surface of the liquid. Jinhyuk took a glass bottle and approached Yoo Chunyoung. ''If you were a normal person, you would have died a long time ago.'' Dilated blood vessels like bursting were a symptom that appeared when mana runaway exceeded the threshold. Indeed, the strong are the strong. Seeing that they do not let go of their lives despite such terrible agony. ''One or two drops won''t be enough, I''ll have to feed them all.'' Because his condition had deteriorated so much, he had to pour out all the Elixir. It''s a bit pricey though. It was a cheap price that could be paid for copying the ability. gulp! gulp! The liquid ran down Yoo Chun-young''s neck and seeped into his body. OK. Yoo Chun-young''s pale face gradually turned red. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... His breathing became stable and the cold sweat running down his forehead stopped. All the blood vessels that had protruded unsightly also subsided. After a long time of suffering. Finally, Yoo Chun-young has recovered. [Condition met!] [Choose one of Yoo Chun-young''s skills.] You have already decided what to choose. Without hesitation, Jinhyuk chose one of Yoo Chunyoung''s skills. [You succeeded in copying the unique ability ''Jintae Cheonghwarang Heart Method (S)''!] [Jintae Cheonghwarang Heart Method] Acquisition Difficulty: S Description: This is a German martial art developed by Yoo Chun-young as a deep method that can absorb mana dissolved in the atmosphere. Increases mana recovery rate by 30% when used, and it has the effect of making the body look younger just by using it.] [The copied skill is saved in ''Memory of the World''.] Status window that appears in succession. Jinhyuk glanced at the contents of the newly acquired skill. ''The effect of looking younger in mana recovery... .'' It seems that Yoo Chun-young looked so young for her age. Because the skill level I checked through ''Eyes of Gluttony'' was 13. It is almost enough to be called a high-ranking named monster. And while Jinhyuk looks at the detailed traits of skill. grandfather! Yoo Yeon-hwa stroked Yoo Chun-young''s cheek with a trembling hand. It''s such an absurd thing... Is Master really recovered? Gee, it''s true! Mana''s wave has stabilized. Thick tears flowed from everyone''s eyes. It was because it was difficult to control the emotions that were overflowing in the dreamlike reality. On the other hand, Heo Jin-soo, who was watching the situation, was at a loss for words with her mouth wide open. ''can not believe it.'' Your opponent is a battle type. By the way. How the hell do you know the cure for mana runaway that no one has known yet? It''s easy to say that you can control the concentration of elixir through fluids and drugs. It would have been close to impossible unless you had a thorough understanding of the tricky mixing ratios. But the opponent did it. They did things that even they could not even dare to do, so casually, that they had spent their whole lives in medicine. Rumble! Heo Jin-soo''s chin trembled. The insight that reads all of this hand. The overwhelming potential that received an S-class judgment. In addition to medical knowledge. It''s like dealing with a monster. All I could think about was running away from here, but my limbs didn''t listen. at that time. Jin-hyuk approached Jin-hyuk, who was trembling. It seems that the other side is crazy after a long break, so we''ll have a separate conversation here. What are you going to do with me? Huh? Are you going to kill me too? No, I don''t know if it''s inside the tower, but killing people outside is a pain in the ass. Above all, it''s funny to kill people just because they''ve got a little money. so. The money you''ve received. All you have to do is vomit it out. Then, I''ll send it to you. "If you give me money will you release me?" Isn''t that a bad story? You can run away from Yoo Chun-young''s angry disciples. I can take advantage of this opportunity and take a share. Jinhyuk shrugged. As if emphasizing that he only cares about money. ''You want money?'' Heo Jin-soo swallowed dry saliva. If money is the goal, then it''s enough to give it away. The mission to kill Yoo Chun-young failed, but at least the most important information was not discovered. The worries didn''t last long. I will. "Then, as soon as the money is deposited into this account, we will release it." Jinhyuk handed him a piece of paper. It was an account with an untraceable number, one of the benefits given only to S-Class. and after a while. T-tiring! [A new financial transaction has occurred.] [''36,35,000,000 won has been deposited into member Jinhyuk Kang''s account.] A notification window appeared on Jinhyuk''s cell phone. about 36 billion. Much of the money that had been stolen from Yoo Chun-young has been returned. Can I go now? Heo Jin-soo asked carefully. Yes. It was a very satisfying transaction. Jinhyuk smiled brightly and took a step back from the door. No more blocking the door. Now is your only chance to run away. Rumble! Hey! Come on out! Sa, I lived! As soon as the door opened, the healers rushed out of Ururu. Worried that Jinhyeok might change his mind, he ran like crazy looking straight ahead. Hmm. Are you going to let it go like that? Isn''t it like you? It was then that Alice''s voice was heard. ''I was watching in the ring as well.'' There''s no way I''m not wearing it Well, thanks to you, it saved me the trouble of calling. Elise. Jinhyuk slowly opened his mouth. From now on, find out where he''s going and who he''s talking to. What. Did you let it go on purpose? I''m not going to open my mouth easily if I''m interrogated here. Most of all, the Black Cloud Guild or the residents probably didn''t give much information to those down the food chain. No matter how much you kill the worker ants, it''s useless. so. We should induce the worker ants that ran away to the queen. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. After a riot, Jinhyeok and Yoo Chunyoung were the only two left in the hospital room. Because I was ignorant of the words that I had to make sure that Elixir was well absorbed into every nook and cranny of my body, Yoo Yeon-hwa and the rest of the people went out. Jinhyuk looked at Yoo Chun-young, who was lying motionless. Now there is no one. " " There was no answer returned. I know that you have already regained consciousness before. Jinhyuk added a word. OK. Heh heh. I thought he hid his senses perfectly. He''s a much smarter young man than I thought. Surprisingly, Yoo Chun-young, who had only thought he was unconscious, opened his eyes. Is my breathing so clumsy? No. It was perfect. Even a player with detection skills could not read Yoo Chun-young''s breathing. It''s just that this one has ''Eyes of Gluttony''. Any kind of deception can be detected. I''m sorry. I didn''t mean to deceive you on purpose. It''s okay, because the timing of my appearance was pretty good. Besides, I think it''s suspicious enough that he knows a cure for mana runaway that no one knows about. Fuhaha! That''s right. That''s why. Yoo Chun-young burst out laughing as if happily. If Jinhyuk had made excuses or turned his back, he would never have believed it. However, the laughter stopped coming out because he confessed his heart so honestly. I must have misunderstood people. So, what do you want from this old man? There is one thing I want to ask you. You''re the benefactor who saved my life, and I''ll answer anything I know. Yoo Chun-young nodded with a bright smile. But. The old man fought the resident on the first day the Tower of Trials appeared... right? To a question I didn''t expect at all. "That how?" The smile disappeared from Yoo Chun-young''s face. CH 71 . tower dweller (2) Seeing Yoo Chun-young''s reaction, Jin-hyeok bit his lip. ''The prediction was right.'' No matter how strong the mana that flowed out of the Tower of Trials, it was not enough for a person the size of Yoo Chun-young to fall into a coma. In fact, just looking at the stats and skills checked through ''Eyes of Gluttony'', he was a top-class ranker. That''s right. ''It means that there was something that pushed Yoo Chun-young to the limit.'' It goes without saying, but among non-players, there is no one who can face Yoo Chun-young. Even if you look at it all over the world. Only those living in the Tower of Trials are capable of such a thing. Jinhyuk made a major premise based on such assumptions. Yoo Chun-young made the premise that he had already met the resident. Heh heh. You really have a knack for surprising people. How far in the world are you planning to lift the heart of an old man? Yoo Chun-young let out a sigh of relief. Can I take it as a sign that my prediction was correct? You''re right. The day the tower first appeared, someone came to me. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. This is a story about residents. The question is, what floor is that guy on... . Can you tell me something like specific characteristics? Appearance, armament, fighting style. Anything is fine. He was an Asian with long black hair and white clothes. His weapon was a sword... he was very fierce. I''ve never seen anyone wielding a quick sword that fast. If you are an Asian who uses a sword? I know who you are. '' He belongs to the Moorim.'' A huge force on the 21st floor of the tower, Moorim. As the leading force that dominates the entire 21st floor, they move very aggressively to reach the upper floors of the tower. ''Even when I was playing Tower, I was in a lot of trouble because of those guys.'' If there is a threat to their actions, they are mercilessly removed. If necessary, conciliatory by any means and methods. A group of only people who are like leeches to the point that they really shiver. Jinhyuk frowned. After all, the most troublesome guys crawled out. Are you familiar with them? Roughly. Heh heh, that''s right. I knew that too. Yoo Chun-young nodded her head. And he opened his mouth again. Can I ask you one thing this time? of course. I''ve known Korean high-ranking officials and high-ranking guilds, but you seem to know a lot more than we do. Even the best Koreans didn''t know who came out of the tower. That''s right. Because Moorim existed on the 21st floor. Of course, there are no players who have been there. Only one. ''Except me... .'' Jinhyuk remained silent, neither affirming nor denying. Oh, I''m not trying to ask. I just want to find someone with whom I can put my hopes in the dark future of mankind. You mean I''m the target? I don''t know anything else, but since I''ve met so many people this age, even if I didn''t like it, I liked one thing. The corners of Yoo Chun-young''s lips went up. Human eyes. who lived by mouth. My insides are empty, but I''m just slurping my words. As the years and experience accumulated, the discernment of discerning them could not help but improve. You seem to be overestimating me. Do you think it''s overrated? From my point of view, it''s the players in the world who are overestimated. It''s only been two months, and you''re just classifying them based on the amount of mana or unique abilities? That''s ridiculous. There is a saying that it takes at least 10,000 hours to master a field. Rome is not built in a day. By the way, the world has changed and they think they have become strong just because they have gained one ability. Yoo Chun-young didn''t like all of this. "But, you are different. What do you mean? It feels like it has been worn out countless times? The bitter taste of victory and defeat that you have tasted before and after birth. And you can see the skillfulness of overcoming it." Not to that extent. Fuhaha! You''re even humble. However, you can''t hide the slack that comes naturally. Yoo Chun-young burst out laughing as if happily. Of course, I forgot to add a word. Don''t worry, I won''t tell anyone about you. this would be true Yoo Chun-young is not the kind of person who will go anywhere and open his mouth recklessly. Besides, no one would believe me if I said anything. By the way. You saved my life and even used a precious elixir, so I want to repay you with something... Is there anything you want? At Yoo Chun-young''s words, Jin-hyuk stopped. The most prestigious martial artist in Korea. Not only did he swept the world championships, but he also learned hundreds of martial artists. Of course, the money and treasures you have will be beyond your imagination. Actually, I need one thing. Can I tell you anything? Don''t worry, just tell me. Obviously, did you say ''anything'' with your own mouth? Jinhyuk''s lips twisted slightly. No matter how polite they were to the East, they didn''t want to be polite when the opportunity came. If you''re hungry, you should say you want to eat, because the story of a scholar who starved to death while gaining face was by far the only specification. I would like to receive the ''Double Dragon Sword'' in the old man''s possession. Admiral Yi Sun-sin''s sword miraculously recovered after being lost for a long time. The name of a legendary weapon that was not pushed even against the relics existing in the tower came out. Cheap, twin dragon swords? This time, an earthquake occurred in Yoo Chun-young''s pupil. It seems that he did not know that he would ask for it. I''m sure it wasn''t a difficult request, was it? Jinhyuk smiled brightly. An innocent and bright smile spread across his face. Hmm. It''s difficult! I''m not the type of person to say two things with one mouth. Yoo Chun-young straightened her expression. I was a little surprised, but the other person was a benefactor who saved a life. Even if he asked for all of his property instead of the twin dragon swords, he was willing to give it to him. I''ll soften it up and send it to you tomorrow. Is there anything else you need? Yes. That''s enough. I took everything I needed. Now it''s time to leave here. But, that''s when Jinhyuk was about to turn around. "This is only a story I heard through an unofficial route." Yoo Chun-young opened her mouth for the last time. There is information that people who came down from the tower contacted Chinese players. ...! Be careful. It may not be just the things in the tower that humanity has to worry about. Yoo Chun-young carefully warned of the worst. I''ll keep that in mind. Jinhyuk nodded slowly. After finishing his work with Yoo Chun-young, Jin-hyeok headed straight to Lotte Signiel. A lot of things happened, but in the end everything went as planned. A huge amount of money, new information, and Yoo Chun-young''s mind and twin dragon swords. I ate only the tastiest ones. ''The pockets are also thick, so I should enjoy a proper rest.'' Normally, luxury is a luxury that you would not even be able to afford. Suite rooms costing more than 2 million won per night were more than the cost of living in a month in the past. However, now that he has earned tens of billions of dollars from healers, he no longer has to worry about money. Jinhyeok, who had canceled a one-year stay with a membership, headed upstairs listening to the numerous benefits SIGNIEL has to offer. Rumble! As the door opened, the view of the hotel suite came into view. Marble floors and colorful chandeliers. Various furniture imported from Italy and Germany boasted a splendid appearance. Of course, Hwaryongjeomjeong is a glass window where you can see the night view of Seoul at a glance. Great. Jinhyuk exclaimed. That''s why money is good. As I sat down on a soft bed with a light welcome drink, it felt like the fatigue I had accumulated over the years was rushing in at once. To be honest, I just wanted to sleep like this. This is because the warm goose quilt was so soft. However, if I had spent the long vacation just sleeping, I would have hit the ground and regretted it when I went to the 4th floor. ''I need to take a light shower and then eat.'' After Jinhyuk called for room service, he headed to the shower room. Did 20 minutes pass like that? Jinhyuk, who came out of the living room, had to be surprised once again. Top-quality steaks with truffle and thick salmon sashimi, as well as lobsters, caviar, and European cheeses were all over the table. It was so huge that even 5 people couldn''t eat it. Jinhyuk cut the steak with a knife and fork. The slightly burnt outer part cracked, revealing a pink flesh. The gravy of the mouth-watering material filled my mouth. Here, the wine ''Chateau la Fleurdo'', which is called the water drop of the gods, was served. Wow ! crazy The taste is completely different from the old and damp rice, fresh kimchi, and the soybean paste stew that sticks to the bottom of the pot. Happiness comes after hard work, and because there was a difficult past, the happiness of the present shines even more. But it was at that time that we were enjoying our dinner in full swing. Familiar content flowed from the TV turned on to appease the emptiness. [Mr. Eunseok, what do you think is the most effective way to climb the tower?] A special feature related to the Tower of Trials. A woman announcer and a man with an impressive smile were talking about T.O.P. ''Dangun'', considered as the strongest in Korea It was Jang Eun-seok, a ranker belonging to the guild. [Well, there are two ways to get stronger in the Tower of Trials. The first is how to hone or level up your unique abilities and skills.] [Like, like a game?] [you''re right. As you get stronger, you can clear more difficult dungeons and labyrinths.] [Then, what about the second method?] [It is just using coins.] [This is the currency that can only be used in the Tower of Trials.] [Yes. I think the power to purchase better items is the best way to become a ranker. Until now, the dollar was the key currency that moved the world, but in the future, coins will be the key currency that moves the world. I am also looking to the future and investing all the coins I have collected so far to upgrade the broadcasting system.] Jinhyuk, who was listening quietly, snorted. ''Investing coins in the broadcasting system... .'' Currently, a trend is forming among players to upgrade the broadcasting system of individual channels in order to attract more subscribers. Of course, that''s a funny joke. What do you do when you promote a hundred days and put up colorful thumbnails? Is the most important thing empty? ''Even if it is not exposed at the top of the screen. It doesn''t matter if it''s an unknown channel.'' quality. Only the overwhelming performance and directing that only the deceased could do was the power to captivate the subscribers. [The fourth floor is said to be open, but no one has entered the fourth floor yet. Could you please explain this part?] The announcer changed the topic. [That''s because the fourth floor is structured so that the rest of the players can enter only when the player who opened the door on that floor declares that they will attack. Of course, if the first attacker does not challenge after ten days, other people can enter.] [Aha. There was such a condition. Then why doesn''t he climb the tower?] [haha. Naturally. The 4th floor is an area where a large-scale zombie wave gathers, and you can only clear it by defending the base. Besides, there is only one chance to challenge the 4th floor itself.] [Is it the end if I fail even once? Without a second chance?] [In the game, if it fails, it ends up being reset to level 1, but in reality, humanity will immediately perish. In that sense, you only get one chance.] [I can''t... .] [Yes. It will take at least a month or two more because it is impossible for a player called Unknown to attack unless they join hands with large guilds. At least that much preparation period is required to gather the necessary personnel and resources.] [Are you saying that less than that is difficult?] [I''m betting on my name. If you go in there without proper preparation, you will only increase the difficulty of Zombie Wave by leaps and bounds. What if the earlier you go, the better the rewards? I can''t stand wave 5 and the base will be destroyed. A common-sense person would never do such a thing.] However, in the following message, [[player ''unknown''] You have declared an attack on the 4th floor.] The announcer who was happily conducting the broadcast. [All players who will challenge the 4th floor, please prepare.] Jang Eun-seok answered with a leisurely smile. [In the next 8 hours, the first wave begins.] And all the viewers who watched it. [If you can''t block a total of 100 waves, humanity will perish.] Stop, I''m at a loss for words. CH 72 . Node Defense (1) The world was turned upside down due to the sudden declaration of attack on the fourth floor. Hey, what the hell is this!? You''re going to start right now? Are you serious? Crazy! Call up all the rankers right now! It''s an emergency. Stop the shit you''re doing and come out! Did you pick up a list of candidates for the base? Bring it! All the data on the 4th floor you''ve been collecting! The executives of the large guild shouted like crazy. It is common sense that, given the wave-type trait, it is necessary to preempt a location with a good location among numerous bases. Every minute and every second was precious to save this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I had to lead the raid to the 4th floor in 8 hours right now. In addition, I had to plan all the ways to attack the 4th floor within the remaining time. So, while everyone is rushing around until the morning dawns. Ugh! Jinhyuk woke up from the soft bed, stretching. Uduk! Ududuk! The joint has found its place. It feels surprisingly refreshing. It''s like being reborn. ''It seems that the accumulated fatigue has been relieved at once.'' In order to start a new fight, that much stamina must be supported. sure. The rest probably won''t. ''It must be the worst condition.'' Because he deliberately declared the attack at a late hour, he must have been exhausted physically and mentally from rolling his head that did not roll all night. But what do you do? This is not a sport that is played in the stadium. There was no reason to be fair play with a competitor. This is because the 4th floor had a structure in which the less the number of competitors, the greater the reward. [Time remaining before the first wave arrives: 1h:37m:51s] Now it''s time to go to the 4th floor. The 4th floor of the Tower of Trials. This is the first turning point that made many players quit the game in the past. yea that''s the way it is There are 100 waves of normal zombies and special zombies, and thousands of combinations of defense towers must be properly placed, as well as a means to provide food, clothing, and shelter within the base. Above all, because of the ridiculous penalty that the entire game is reset if no player clears wave 100, the inside of the game at that time created hell itself with users'' breakouts and profanity. in vain [I have not heard that the Tower of Trials is Mangem.] And right now. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A player appeared at the entrance on the 4th floor with a bright light. ''Every time I see you here, you look like a bitch.'' Jinhyuk looked around. In keeping with the theme of zombies, the entire 4th floor created an apocalyptic atmosphere. Burnt out buildings and abandoned cars. A city where civilization has completely disappeared. I can''t help but feel sad. Maybe because I didn''t even know that the sight I''m seeing now is a mirror that reflects the future of mankind. That was then. T-tiring! A status window appeared in front of you. [You entered the 4th floor of the Tower of Trials for the first time.] [Other players can also enter the 4th floor from the next 20 minutes.] A 20-minute bonus for clearing the 3rd floor for the first time. This will be the time to decide the success or failure of this layer. ''I must hurry.'' Jinhyuk started running toward the north. However, the speed was not good because the road was so rough. A road that disappeared due to a sinkhole. A wall blocked by vines. Because the obstacles are full. ''hurry faster!'' Jinhyeok cleared his breathing and increased his speed even more. Now there are less than 10 minutes left. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! How long did it run while cutting down obstacles with the ''Sword Graveyard'' and repairing the hollow floor with ''Glacier Sculpting''? Finally, Jinhyuk''s footsteps stopped. We arrived at the huge World Cup Stadium. ''It''s barely too late.'' We had to secure the base we wanted before other players entered, so we had to move quickly, even if it was difficult. This is because some players have the ability to accelerate or move in space. ''Where are you here? .'' found. Jinhyuk placed his palm on one of the pillars at the entrance to the stadium. Then at that very moment. [I use ''Priority Point Designation Ticket''!] [''Sangam World Cup Stadium'' has been selected as your base!] A red flag was raised over the World Cup Stadium. This is a warning. ''The owner of this place is fixed, so look for another place''. ''great.'' Jinhyuk nodded his head satisfactorily and entered the stadium. The green lawn where 22 players once sweated to win the game is gone. Instead, the place was filled with dry soil and dust. exactly. ''On the condition I want.'' dirt and dust. It is a symbol of the end of life, At the same time, it is also a symbol suggesting the birth of new life. [[''Soft grains''] 1 kg is scattered.] [[''Seed of Solar''] Plant 5.] [Prepare ''Natural Water 50L''.] Jinhyuk took out the reward he had obtained after dealing with no marriage. The grains and seeds that go into the soil. Among the countless defenses available on the 4th floor, Jinhyuk chose ''plants''. ''Plant one plant at each entrance to the stadium, and the last one in the center.'' [Time remaining until ''Solar''s Seed'' hatches: 55m:33s] [Time remaining until ''soft grains'' hatch: 5h:19m:10s] By the time the first zombie wave arrives, these plants will do their job as great breakwaters to defend your stronghold. The grains that will be useful as food will soon sprout. That was then. T-tiring! T-tiring! A blue status window appeared one after another in front of me. [Oppa, I called because I told you to call me when you come to the 4th floor. Taemin is also with me.] [Jinhyuk, we have arrived. The entrance on the 4th floor, right?] Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, who were deceased colleagues, and Teresa, a saint in Amsterdam, have also been in touch. Stay growing fast. I''ll be back soon. Jinhyeok sprinkled plenty of ''natural water'' over the seeds that were just settling in. [Growth speed of plants is increased by 20%!] About 10 minutes later, Jinhyuk arrived at the place he had come from. The 4th floor starting point was crowded with many players. ''Almost all of the famous large guilds participated.'' Although time was tight, a huge number gathered. It seems that the rewards are quite coveted. but. The chance to pick an A-grade random box doesn''t come very often. No matter how early in the Tower of Trials, even those who closed it would have investigated the fact that Grade A is in the top 5%. And the next step will be different depending on the item that comes out of it. It was when Jinhyuk was looking at the players. brother! brother! Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, who found Jin-hyuk, waved their hands. Mr. Jinhyuk! Theresa, the platinum blonde girl next to him, also smiled brightly. Yoo Yeon-hwa, we met yesterday, but the other two haven''t seen in a long time. I''m sorry for calling everyone suddenly. I didn''t have time to explain because things went faster than I thought. "No. My brother called me, so of course you have to come." I don''t care where I belong anymore. It''s even better to be with Jinhyuk. Well . I''m a little sorry for saying that. From now on, all three of them were planning to make good workers (?). A vicious shopkeeper who violates the Employment and Labor Act and a part-time student who lives faithfully. This was the ideal position Jinhyuk pursued. Look at that. It''s Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min. You attacked the B-class labyrinth on the second floor alone, didn''t you? "There is also Theresa . You said you left the meeting, but was it because you wanted to eat with that person?" You''re with Kang Jin-hyuk, aren''t you? This time, a super-special Shinsung from Korea. Was that person Jinhyuk Kang? When he re-awakened, the mana level pierced the meter? Yeah. They said that it came out much higher than the same S-class. It was because of that person that it was necessary to subdivide the grade. "It seems like there are a lot of big newcomers coming out recently as well as a player called Unknown." "At least Sue is a terrifying member. It must be stronger than most raids, right?" Since there are so many hotly contested characters, attention is focused around them. Of course, Jinhyuk wasn''t the type to care about such a gaze. Have you all been well prepared? Preparation, we worked hard, but more than that, oppa. Would it be okay with just us? Huh? There''s a wave of zombies coming in here that really makes me vomit. Yoo Yeon-hwa trembled thinly. It reminded me of the terrible memories of the past when there was a smell of blood and meat. I have the ability to summon summons, but it''s still difficult because I''m still at a low level. In particular, I can''t stand the wave of transforming zombies... Taemin Lee also added a word. It can only be burdensome to face the wave without being prepared, no matter how old you are. However. Isn''t that more fun? An innocent smile hung on Jinhyuk''s face. As if I was going to die from the expectation of being able to experience a higher level of difficulty. Fun is it fun? Oppa. Isn''t this a game? If you get bitten by a zombie here, you really die. Ha. He still hasn''t given up on his old habit. Isn''t that the level of self-abuse? "Jinhyuk-san it seems like a pervert." The three let out a small sigh. What if I''m already so frustrated? "Did you deliberately choose the base as the stadium?" Huh!? The arena? Sangam Stadium. Isn''t it there? Please tell me no. that''s right. Hyung. Are you crazy? That''s the toughest place among the bases! It''s a large base that has to be blocked by at least 100 people. Know. At the same time, it is also the most rewarding place. Still, we''ve all been to the 20th floor, so don''t say that you''re too sick. You need to collect as much as you can in the beginning to get more comfortable as you go up. You know? It is, but... Ahhh! I don''t know. It''s possible with a real brother. It''s hard for us. Not all dead people are the same. There''s rotting water, and there''s oil and fossils on it. Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min got on the same boat with the most terrifying ammonite among them. While the two are ripping their heads off. Hey, Mr. Jinhyuk. May I ask you just one thing? Theresa, who had been silent, raised her hand. Yes, tell me. "As far as I know, to carry out this defensive battle, we need to have a minimum number of people, but I think we are lacking in numbers." Huh? Then I saw... That''s right. I didn''t care about that because I was concerned about the stadium. Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min were also surprised and responded. The minimum required for this floor is 5 people. However, there are only four people gathered. This means that only one other person can proceed with the base defense battle. The last one is coming soon. Jinhyuk opened his mouth as if not to worry. and just in time. Aww! There was a roar from a distance. ''Ttttttt.'' Anyway, he''s a guy who doesn''t appear quietly. CH 73 . Node Defense (2) A large scar on the floor. A cloud of dust flew in the spot where the sword had passed. What, what is this madman? I don''t know. What an idiot bastard suddenly attacked me! You''re dying to die. You''re arguing with this person? I''ve been up all night and I''m annoyed, but it''s okay. "Huh! Mmm stop! That guy, that''s him. Sword Demon!" That psychopath? The murmur grew louder. Don''t get in the way and get out. Before you cut it all down. It was none other than the heavenly nature that spewed out life. He was so angry that his eyes were so cold that it was almost bloody. yea that''s the way it is Cheon Yoo-seong, who had been devoted to training every day, received a message from early in the morning. [Come out of the entrance on the 4th floor within an hour.] The caller is Jinhyuk Kang. It was a mountain he had to climb and his purpose was to remain in the tower. ''That''s funny.'' Cheon Yoosung frowned. There''s no reason to go just because he''s coming. training is still lacking. In order to overcome that damn monster, I had to break the tip of the sword. Therefore, Cheon Yu-seong ignored the message Jin-hyuk sent. Then another message flew right away. [If you come now, I will deal with you without using my left arm and right leg.] Let''s be patient. this is provocation Very shallow and childish. If you catch it, it''s just like playing around with your opponent''s tricks. [OK. Then, just use your right brain and close both eyes to fight. call?] Oh yeah ruler. have to be patient You must remember and sublimate the anger of the present, and use it as a basis for revenge for the future. If you wait, the opportunity will surely come. [Damn? Oh. Looks right Don''t worry, I don''t bother with the footer.] end with that The string of reason that was barely holding on was broken. kill. I will definitely tear it apart and kill it! Cheon Yoo-seong, who was completely caught by the provocation, left everything behind and headed to the fourth floor. And right now. From afar, I could see all of these culprits. Huh? Are you here? Here. Jinhyuk waved his hand warmly. I thought I was going to die while waiting. Anyway, you don''t keep your appointment time filthy. You bastard...! Cheon Yooseong held out his sword in front of him. It was not the existing iron sword, but a new sword with runes engraved on it. ''I also got that in my hand.'' Attribute Sword (Ԅ). It was not yet complete, but it was a special item that could compensate for the long-distance weakness of swordsmen by injecting elemental magic into the weapon. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. Although he was strong enough to be acknowledged by anyone, he is a character who pursues only the standard. This means that it is easy to predict what will happen next. I''m here to prove whether I''m scared or not. Cheon Yuseong grabbed the sword with both hands. kukuku kuk kuk! Rough lines began to be drawn along the ground due to the sharply captured mana. Sword Qi is so ignorant and ignorant. It''s good to prove, but to fight with an unfinished sword? At Jinhyuk''s words, Cheon Yoosung stopped. What do you mean? Literally. The Elemental Sword is definitely not bad, but it needs to be completely completed before it can show its power. " " At the same time, the Grade A random box from this floor also contains an item that can complete the attribute sword. What you want is the fire attribute. Is that correct? The bullshit! Random boxes are literally random. There''s no way to know what''s going to come out of them! Yeah. You can''t get a glimpse of what''s inside the random box in the normal way. However. I prefer unusual shortcuts. You know? Jinhyuk smiled brightly. On the other hand, Cheon Yu-seong bit her lips tightly. If anyone else had said this, I passed it on as bullshit not worth hearing. The only exception to that was the deceased, who was smiling slyly in front of his eyes. If it were him, he might really know. A way to peek behind the curtains. If you say you''re right. But are you going to use that as a bait for me? "Isn''t life originally about using each other for your own interests? Besides, there''s nothing to lose from your point of view, right?" Better items are the best way to get stronger. There is no such thing as ''temple'' for nothing. Because there were cases where the rankers in the higher tier were chewed and eaten simply with the item alone. at last. ...Damn it. There must be materials to complete the Elemental Sword in that random box. Sreung! He put the sword that Cheon Yuseong had drawn into the scabbard. great. There were a lot of ups and downs, but somehow all five of us gathered through this. One of them was a little suspicious of whether they were on the same side. [A party of 5 has been formed.] [The minimum number of people to defend the base has been met.] The five, including Jinhyeok, headed straight for the stadium. " " Hmm. Hmm. Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa glanced at Cheon Yoo-seong. Wasn''t it a bastard who pulled out a knife when they made eye contact in the past? Being on the same team as such a bloody guy, I can''t help but be anxious. "Jinhyuk, are you really okay?" Teresa, who met Cheon Yoo-seong in the corridor, was equally anxious. It''s okay. He''s surprisingly gentle on the outside. He probably won''t hit us in the back as long as the wave is coming. still . Trust me. I quarreled more than anyone else, so I knew it even if I didn''t like it. what the nature of that person is. And if it were the nature of nature I know, at least I wouldn''t do anything cowardly. Perhaps . maybe it is That was then. Oh right, brother. I almost forgot. Take this. As if something came to mind, Yoo Yeon-hwa opened a subspace inventory. Soon afterwards, a pair of swords that looked unusual even at a glance were revealed. It was a double dragon sword. Oh oh! indeed. It''s just a relic of the past, but it''s said to be comparable to the relic inside the tower. It''s never an exaggeration. Because it felt like my heart was shrinking due to the heavy feeling that was transmitted along my fingertips. Grandpa asked me to give it to you. But really, this is something that Grandpa loved so much. How did you get it? It''s just. Personally, I think it''s a Primary God. Jinhyuk frowned slightly. There is no need to talk about the occupants right now. It was because he focused on the defense that was right in front of him. While we chatted so little. Everyone is here. That''s our base. Eventually, the group reached the entrance to the stadium. Haha. This big stronghold has to be blocked by 5 people, isn''t it? I remember when we stopped the Outbreak in Amsterdam. I didn''t want to go through that again. Yoo Yeon-hwa and Teresa let out a small sigh. Is the world''s Fire Gwangdong Nuclear Fist and the Amsterdam Saints nervous? Sa, a little? Still, I''m relieved that I''m with you. "Me too. Somehow, if I''m with Jin-hyuk, I think I''ll be able to do something no matter how desperate the situation is." If you try to float it, nothing comes out. Ah. It floats. I was just stating the truth. You attacked the corridor alone. I saw it myself. What? Why are these people all of a sudden? Maybe, is there something you want? I don''t know what you''re thinking... . It''s not a bad feeling. At least it was because I was trusted. In a world where the world has become like this, it''s not common to be able to trust someone and turn your back on them. sting! sting! Braham''s ring he was wearing trembled violently. ''Yes. You can trust it too.'' Jinhyuk, who felt Elise''s pangs, smiled. Contrary to his appearance, this guy is also very jealous. Do I have to say that it is completely 180 degrees different from my cold and gritty first impression? Maybe you want to tease more about the taste. But that was then. Hmm. I said who occupied the stadium. Was it Koreans? An unfamiliar voice intervened. At the same time, men with tight bald hair and tattoos all over their bodies appeared from among the buildings. brother! Brother, I erased their presence and approached them! " Mr. Jinhyuk!" All three shouted at the same time. Yes, I know. A few minutes ago, the siege was gradually narrowing down, so I was wondering when I was going to show my head. It was only after I got to the base that I was able to see the face. It seems that he has his own skills, as his skill in hiding his presence seems to be going well. Are you a Chinese player? Jinhyuk has his taste buds. One of the large guilds, the Triad. It''s a place where only people with pretty bad rumors are gathered. And the young man in the front leading them had a completely different atmosphere from the others. Are you a guy named Kang Jin-hyuk? An Asian man with a white face and dark hair opened his mouth. It is an appearance that you will see again at least once if you meet on the street. However, what caught his eye more than his handsome appearance was the pattern of the sword he was wearing on his waist. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. That text... . no doubt ''Namgungse''. One of the members of ''Murim'' on the 25th floor of the Tower of Trials. ''It was true that the Chinese and the residents had contact.'' It was the moment when what Yoo Chun-young said was proven. Aren''t you asking if you''re Jinhyuk Kang? That''s right. I''m Jinhyuk Kang. Okay, yes. My name is Namgung-hyeon. Unlike a lowly small country like you, I belong to China, which boasts a vast territory... Namgoong-hyun, who introduced himself, stopped while trying to continue. Because the opponent was covering their nose and mouth with a handkerchief. What are you doing now? Ah, sorry, your country is full of fine dust. I was worried that dust would come out of my mouth every time I spoke. It is understandable that the skin is white. The sky is cloudy 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so can the light of the sun pass through? "What this bastard is now!" Namgung-hyun''s face turned red in an instant. I''m mad. The rule of thumb is that the one who is upset first loses. You bastard. You know who I am now! If you dare mock Namgung Sega, I will destroy all three of you! Jinhyuk recited the lines the other person would say in advance. Even if it wasn''t exact, I would have said something like this. "But is there any pride that Namgung-se will keep in the subject?" Once the Heavenly Demon rises from the tower, it crawles like yours. Besides, was it not until 20 years ago that Namgung-se made Sogong-ja appear and make a name for himself? I don''t know what era it is and it''s still behaving that way. Unless you''re alone in a time machine. you you! Shhh. Don''t open your mouth wide. If even a spit full of virus splashes, it''s a trouble for players around the world. Aww! In the end, Namgoonghyun exploded. CH 74 Five generations (1) Whoops! A blue flame erupted around Namgung-hyun''s body. Does this chewy bastard dare to insult popularization? popularize it... . but. After all, the Moorim were a group with Chinese roots. It must be a good match with the modern Chinese player. Jinhyuk, who licked his tongue, immediately activated the ''Eyes of Gluttony''. Name: Namgunghyun Gender: Male Age: 22 Level: 68 Strength 36 Dexterity 48 Stamina 37 mana 35 Strength 85 Stat Points you have: 0 Occupation: Prosecutor Unique Ability: One Swordsman (һ) skill: Lv15 ''Taehwa Sword Ki(̫A)'', Lv14 ''King Sword Type'', Lv12 ''One Sword of Gohon (»һ)'', Lv11 ''Infinite Bo'', Lv11 ''Speargung'' ''Daeyeonsin-gong (n)'' [Copy Condition: You encountered a resident of ''Murim'', a force that exists in the tower. The residents who came with him are now hiding in the Triad. If you identify all of them, you will be able to copy one of the skills.] ''Oh?'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed as he read the copy conditions. ''Are there other residents here as well as Namgung-hyeon?'' It is surprising that there is only one person, but this is the first time that many people have come down at once. It''s just too large to come just to filter the fertilization. Even more when considering the character of those who think of most players as ants with a kick on their feet. That''s right. ''It must mean that you are interested in me.'' I don''t know if their purpose is to capture or kill, or if they are conciliatory. To be honest, I''m not interested. Because I had no intention of dying peacefully and I had no intention of being with Moorim. Rather, the thing that bothered me the most right now was thinking about how to copy the ability. right then Chunkyung! Sreung! Soldiers were drawn from all over the place. "How dare you say things like that to Namgoong-hyun." "I was so excited because I wanted to die." More than a few hundred players exposed their molars. Since he provoked so openly, of course, this is the result. On the other hand, Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, who were next to Jin-hyuk, bit their lips and prepared to fight. Sister, take care of the left side. Okay. I''ll get my body right once in a while. Due to the effect of ''Machine Lord'', machines armed with various weapons appeared around Taemin Lee. Chunkyung! Chunkyung! Mana bombs and mana rounds began to be loaded. Uhhhhhhh... Yoo Yeon-hwa also drew mana on both hands and feet. In order to utilize the skills optimized for close combat, narrowing the distance was more important than anything else. I''ll take the back. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Along with the holy castle, silver armor appeared over Terrasa''s whole body. A bright light shining softly. ''Blessing of the stars'' is fully expressed. Cheon Yu-seong also pulled out his sword with a short click on his tongue. I feel it every time I see it, but you really seem to live without measuring back and forth. It''s not funny. What are you talking about? If I were to pick a ranking for the makgapa in the world, the name Cheon Yu-seong should be at the top of the list. You have to go down for a while and then you will see my name. I at least think and fight. Unlike you, Colonel Timo. shit. That nickname popped up again. I''d like to counter that it''s a rare bullshit right now. If I have to say it here, even the seeds won''t be eaten. Yeah. I think you''re right. I need about three minutes, can you make it? Three minutes? If you want, I can take care of everything on my line. Cheon Yoosung smiled bitterly. hello. you''re going to have a hard time Don''t break through. Jinhyuk summoned the Great Library and read ''Memories of the World''. And at that very moment. percussion! fault! The players on both sides moved at the same time. Aww! Whoops! Mana of different kinds exploded. Electric poles were bent like nuts, and fragments smashed from the asphalt were scattered in all directions. Hold on a little longer! Due to Teresa''s use of ''Battle Song'' and ''Sacred Enhancement'', the rest of the people''s abilities were drastically damaged. Oh. Sister! Okay, this one? The mechanical drones and mini tanks Lee Tae-min used have grown even bigger. Naturally, the density of the mana bullets fired also increased. Yoo Yeon-hwa also became strong enough to smash a sword with her bare fists. These children. Strong. Damn. What a fucking piece of machinery! At least the numbers are not pushed. enough to endure. In addition, the front with the natural star was rather creating a strange scene in which the majority were pushed by themselves. Scratch! KwaKwaKwaKwaKwak! Aww! My, my arm! Severed arms and legs. The heavenly planet advancing in the mist of blood rushing in was fear itself. What a madman. Such a nonsense alone... "Everyone in my family is dying." Hey, it''s a monster! The attacking triad players inhaled a waste of wind. Passing-jin, who attacked fiercely, lost its sharpness. Little by little, he took a step back, trying to get away from the blood-stained sword spirit. They instinctively realized that they were no match for them. But right then. I guess it''s not just garbage. Namgoonghyun moved. fast. Namgoong-hyeon, who had narrowed the distance between Cheonyuseong and Cheonyuseong in an instant, drew his sword. Sreung! from top to bottom. A sword drawn vertically fell as if it were splitting the heavens and the earth. Aww! Wow! Cheon Yu-seong''s body shook violently. Although he managed to block it, blood was oozing out of his palms because he received an attack with such a deep hole. Look, I think he''s tried to use a sword, but if he did, that''s the only thing the little girl outside the tower learned how to use. Namgoong-hyun fixed his sword. A dazzling blue river rose from the sword. I will show you what it''s like to be a true swordsman of a prestigious family. Soon after, a spectacular sword dance was demonstrated that made the whole body goosebumps. Namgung Sega''s Martial Arts. It is a king sword type. If a storm devoured people, what would this scene look like? Kaka Kaka Kaka Kaka! ...! Cheon Yu-seong received hundreds of swords with all his might. clash of tile and tile. Blood and flames reddened the air. However, it was very clear which side had the upper hand. Because there was a wall that could never be overcome between Cheon Yooseong, who was tired of dealing with many people, and Namgunghyun, who was completely relaxed. At best, it''s just giving and receiving sums. As soon as your stamina reaches its limit, Cheonyuseong''s head will be cut off. And to prove it. It''s over. Namgoong-hyeon, who delivered the last blow of Cheon Yu-seong, laughed coldly. The sword flew straight towards Cheonyuseong''s neck. Cheon Yu-seong closed his eyes tightly without realizing it. By the way. ...? I didn''t feel the eerie feeling of my throat being cut off. The same goes for pain. He carefully opened his closed eyes. OK. Three minutes. I saw Jinhyuk who had finished all the preparations. Damn you. Hurry up. Yeah. I struggled to hold on. It''s a full touch with this. Nam Goong-hyun looked at Jin-hyuk as if he was interested. I thought he was hiding behind me because I was scared, but it''s surprising. I have a few things to prepare. It took me a bit of time. Do you think you can beat me with just a few preparations? You must have just watched your teammate unilaterally smashed? saw it To be honest, it was heartbreaking. Cheon Yoo-sung This guy is a hard worker in his own way, but wouldn''t your eyes be blushing as a high-level man who lives on the 20th floor or above is doing a good job? Anyway, the problem is with people playing chess everywhere. But isn''t it? There was only one person who climbed the tower of trials to the end. And that person also enjoys playing chess a lot. I just wish people on the 21st floor would stop pretending that they had something to do with the subject... Well, it''s cute to see Taekwondo Dojo pick a red belt and like it. The 21st floor? How do you know that? Namgung-hyun''s eyes widened rapidly. That''s all you know, of course. Why? You thought I didn''t know about the occupants of the 21st floor? ...you. You''re not an ordinary player. What the hell is your true identity? Maybe the Empire... I''m sorry, but I won''t take any questions. There are less than 20 minutes left until the first wave arrives. Cheon Yu-seong and other people also need to rest, so I can''t take any more time. Jinhyuk released the mana he had been collecting over and over in an instant. Whoops! A huge flame gnawed at the ground in an instant. What a shallow number! Namgoong-hyun widened the distance behind him, but his vision was not clearly visible due to the stingy smoke. Did you aim for this on purpose? If this happens, you have to give up your vision and rely solely on your sense of humor. Comfort! Namgoong-hyun, who was concentrating on his senses, raised his head. It was felt in the sky of the opponent''s mana. You idiot. Did you go to a place where you have nowhere to escape yourself! It''s not a bad choice to stumble upon. But, that''s a story when you''re really out of luck. When the numbers were read in advance like now, it was the worst choice. If you dodge and aim for the blind spot, this fight will end as it is. By the way. What? Namgoong-hyun tried to move, but his body did not move. This is because the frost feet made with ''glacier modeling'' reached the soles of the feet. A combination that draws the gaze upward and binds the opponent''s feet using the time difference. The smoke cleared, and Jinhyuk''s figure was visible through the gap. One tip, always check your feet when fighting. Pants! The dazzling light on the tip of the sword gathered into a single point. [Ranging Max] [Lv3 ''Daylight'' is activated!] Just then, a pure white light condensed to the limit was emitted. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A straight white sword stretched out toward Namgunghyeon. The only flaw was that it took time to activate, but it is a skill that boasts the best range and power among the wide-area weapons it has. But, just before the daylight hit. This is completely unexpected. Lao Tzu is completely surprised. Yeah. I guess Hyun can''t be alone. Two people in the triad intervened. [The spirit of self-defense unfolds!] [An anti-army sword is unfolding!] Aww!! Two defensive skills made of Kanggi protected Namgung-hyeon and the Chinese players around it. The transparent wall was cracked, but Namgung-hyeon and the rest managed to save their lives. It was thanks to using the skill at the perfect timing. Hey. That''s pretty good. I didn''t know that there were guys outside the tower with that much power. The third man exclaimed and walked forward. three in total. All the hidden rats appeared on the stage. ''You showed up too.'' There was only one way to find those who were hiding in a crowd of hundreds. If you make a board so that your colleagues cannot survive alone, you will naturally come out to help Namgung-hyeon. And that prediction was exactly right. [We have found all the residents of this place.] [The condition has been met.] A familiar status window appeared. Of course, the skill to choose has already been decided. [You succeeded in copying the unique ability ''Infinite Bo''!] Obtained the skill of a resident belonging to Moorim. pounding! pounding! pounding! Jinhyuk''s heart was beating fast. Ordinarily, I would have been satisfied and finished here. Because this alone was a huge achievement. However. ''I am not.'' If we were going to end up simply copying the ability, we would not have chosen the unique ability of ''fusion''. To get more powerful and diverse skills. To use a higher ability than your opponent. I chose this unique ability. [Fuses ''Infinite Bo'' and ''Sword Grave''.] Jinhyuk combines two abilities into one. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo An indescribable light came out. And at that very moment. [Successful in fusion!] A new skill that was merged into one appeared in front of me. CH 75 Five generations (2) [You have acquired the skill ''Sword Demon King Treasure (ħ) (S)''!] [Sword Demon King] Acquisition Difficulty: S- Description: Mugong is a fusion of the Infinite Bo of Namgung Sega, one of the five generations, and the ''Sword Grave'', a mercenary of the sword and demon of Magic. A mixture of heterogeneous personalities. Movement speed increases by 70% when used, and can be used as a means of attack if mana is focused on the feet. mobility and attack power. I got the skill to catch both rabbits. ''If you combine it with the passive shallow breathing, you will be able to use your stamina efficiently even if you move long distances.'' In addition, weight and mana can be loaded, so even if the same attack is performed, the power will be much greater. Truly ''moorim'' It was a skill that could feel the original essence as it is. Jinhyuk glanced at the details of the skill once again. ''Originally, I thought that I had to go to the 20th floor to get it... .'' Thanks to the stupid people who came to the tiger''s burrow as a request, I was reassured once and for all. On the other hand. Wow! Seeing Jinhyeok smiling, Namgoonghyun bit his molars. you''ll get hot The opponent is relaxed, but he managed to save his life with the help of his colleagues. Cracking my self-esteem was unavoidable. right then Are you okay? Hyuna. Three men and women approached Namgunghyun. The man in his mid-thirties was Hwangbogunak, to which Hwangbose, one of the five generations, belonged together with Namgungse. I think it''s the first time I''ve seen Oraboni sweat. A woman who was just over twenty years old was a member of the Tang family, known as the noble family of poison. Why are you fighting so hard against a guy like that? Last but not least, the youngest-looking man was Zhuge Chun of the Sega Zhuge. Damn it. I''ve had enough on my own. I don''t need any help from you guys. I''m not questioning your skills. But don''t forget that the command given by Jang Mun-in is not to kill, but to condone. Hwangbogunak Oraboni is right. If you are willing to be with us, there is no reason to fight. But...! He knew about us! He already knew we were from the Tower! Namgung-hyun shouted. Then an earthquake occurred in the pupils of the three people who were laughing leisurely. what? Is that true? "What about us?" It was far away from the back, so I couldn''t even overhear the conversation between Nam Goong-hyeon and Jin-hyuk. I hope you would have said something like that If what Namgunghyun said was true, it usually wasn''t a big deal. So far, they have been in contact with several promising players, but none of them knew about their identities. However. Huh? People live in the tower? What kind of nonsense is that? No matter how expensive the house in Seoul is with rockets and ceilings, there are some crazy people who want to buy their own house in a place like this? Jinhyeok, who is the party, made an expression as if it was the first time he had heard the story. Didn''t this child... not tell me that a while ago? Yeah me? Yeah. It''s you! Ah! I think you said that you look like a homeless person who spent 10,000 years in the tower. Was that what you were talking about? No, you''re homeless? Is that what you said to me now? Or maybe it''s not. Don''t get mad for nothing. It looks ugly to have a crush on you. " " Sreung! Namgoong-hyun drew his sword again. I''ve decided. Whether it''s a roundabout or a nabal, I''m going to cut off your tongue first. The sticky life that permeates the horse. Namgoonghyun took a stance. Boo woo woo! In an instant, the sword was stretched out. fast. and it''s scary Like a poisonous snake brushing against fallen leaves, an unpredictable sword strike crossed between the dots and lines. However, Jinhyuk avoided Namgoonghyun''s attack too lightly. ''After all, the behavior patterns of these guys are obvious.'' What are you going to do in the future when you get caught so easily? Besides, didn''t he say it himself? I''m going to cut off my tongue. No matter how complicated the process, if you know the goal, avoiding it is a piece of cake. I like it quite a bit too. Playing tag. Jinhyuk groaned. You bastard! Let''s see how long we can just run away! [Namgoong-hyeon activates Lv11 ''Infinite Bo''!] Instantly, a completely different movement. Namgoong-hyeon followed Namgoong-se''s representative foot technique. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The trajectory of the sword. The inner hole on the sword is the same. It''s not that people have changed. It''s just that the footwork is different. However, one simple difference produced a completely different result. Why? Can''t you run away like a loach now? You screamed so loudly that it became ridiculous. Nam Goong-hyeon followed Jin-hyuk. Now it''s time to shove the blade into the ball of your defenseless opponent. With those cheeky tongues, of course. But at that very moment. [Lv1 ''Sword Demon King Treasure (ħ)'' is activated!] A breeze blew up. As time passed, Namgoong-hyeon''s face became more and more sinister. ''This is... ! I can''t do this... .'' was hesitant at first. I thought he was just a mouthful, so I thought I''d take a picture and press it after playing with it. Because there was such a huge gap between the 20th and 4th floors. Because there was a wall that could never be crossed between the Moorim people and the young chicks player. However, after the first encounter, he changed his mind, saying that you shouldn''t look down on your opponent too much. ''Take a picture with all your might and press it.'' If you use the most confident Infinite Bo and Gohon Sword, you will be able to seize victory in three breaths. Yes, it will certainly be. By the way. Even though I made full use of all the best seasons I have. Why the hell?! You mean you couldn''t even step on your opponent''s shadow? The overwhelming difference in footwork approached me like a huge wall that could never be overcome. ''What a bizarre move... .'' The anomalous footwork, which was straight and mixed in a mid-beat, was not at all predictable. no doubt At least a few more than infinite steps are Mugong rising above. Hyun-ah. I understand how angry you are, but please play in moderation. If you hurt me, the next thing will be a headache. Now Oraboni! Hurry up. It''s already been 5 minutes. "You don''t have to waste time against a guy who doesn''t even dare to counterattack, right?" My colleagues from other clans who were with me handed me one word at a time. This is because, in the eyes of the two of them, it could only be seen that Namgoong-hyun was playing with overwhelming pushes. shit. This place is moving out of the shit line! Namgoong-hyeon was sweating profusely and grooming himself in vain. Then suddenly a thought occurred to me. Would you rather pretend it was a mistake and kill me? If only we could use herbicides, unlike live porridge, which requires a lot of effort... . He couldn''t even counterattack properly, and he only ran away with footwork. There were plenty of ways to cook. The worries didn''t last long. [Namgung-hyeon activates ''Taehwa Sword Ki''!] Pants! The sword wrapped around his waist radiated a cold light from his eyes. It was a Sword Qi with a will to kill the opponent. At the same time. That''s a mistake. A cold air flowed out like a sheet of ice. From Jinhyuk. To be precise, from the pair of swords that Jinhyuk possesses. [The Twin Dragon Swords answer the master''s call.] Creepy! '' !?'' Namgung-hyun''s eyebrows curved in an inverted manner. It was because he instinctively felt that something was not unusual. But that was then. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Aaaaah! A sharp high-pitched voice interrupted. The triad players shouted to burst their throats. It''s a zombie wave from the right! The number is about one thousand. Three minutes away! In the midst of a frantic fight, the first wave came right in front of us. Now there''s no more time to flirt. You were lucky. Hwangbogunak shrugged his shoulders toward Jinhyuk. If the zombie wave had come a little late, I wanted to think that the game would have been won. Yeah, thanks to you, I''m alive. Our little master. Jinhyuk also put in his half-drawn twin swords. Mom, look at what he''s talking about. I lived looking at you. Fuhaha! The snout lives on in the grass. Isn''t it like that. Hyuna? Huh? ...Uh huh... Namgoong-hyun stuttered and answered. What was it? The great life I just felt. My hands and feet were still trembling because of the aura that was so ugly that I could freeze up to my spine. A heterogeneous mana unlike anything I felt in Moorim. One thing is certain. If you just fought properly... . ''It''s dead.'' Yes. surely died Namgoong-hyun realized that fact. Unfortunately, Zhuge Cheon did not. Hey. Next time, there won''t be any zombies that intervene at amazing timing, so don''t hesitate to crawl on your own. Are you right? You, who have lived in our country for a long time, fall flat when we ask for it... Zhuge Chun couldn''t finish his speech. kwaang! It was because his face was crushed and he had to spit out all the corn in his mouth. I''m sorry, what did you just say? Jinhyuk smiled brightly as he wiped the blood from his hands. Aww! Zhuge Chun covered his face with both hands. A completely drooping nose. Blood gushed out between the knuckles. What did this bastard do now! Wow! Hwangbogunak and Dang Soha quickly grabbed their respective weapons. On the other hand, Namgoong-hyeon was frozen and unable to move. It doesn''t matter if we keep fighting, is that okay? If we fight, that side will be at a pretty disadvantage, right? Yoo Yeon-hwa, Lee Tae-min, and Teresa Cheon Yu-seong, who were exhausted from dealing with the Triad, were all in a state of recovering stamina and mana. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Kyaaaah! Of course, in the midst of this, the zombies were rapidly closing the distance. ...I guess we''ll have to continue the conversation later. Hwangbogunak nodded his head heavily. The stadium is ours. Don''t even think about coming in, look elsewhere. I refuse to put such garbage in this place. Besides, the base has already been decided. Hey. You said you''ve secured a base? Yeah, the best place on the fourth floor. Hwangbogunak glanced behind him. A large supermarket right in front of the stadium. Also, did you choose that path? Not bad. A large mart is surrounded by high walls on all sides and the entrance is narrow, making it easy to defend. Especially if there are hundreds of people defending. The interior was full of food including canned food and water, as well as a lot of miscellaneous goods, making it an optimal place for a long-term protest. If the world is destroyed and the zombie virus spreads, it is not for nothing that you should go to the nearest supermarket. However. There is one fatal weakness there. The worst thing no one knows about. ''This is going to be very exciting to attack the 4th floor.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. I just came up with a way to maximize the profits of the stronghold defense, including the arrogant moorims. CH 76 How to defend a dead person (1) Aaaaaah! Keeek! Appearance of skin peeling and rubbing blood. Zombies, greedy for only human flesh, came rushing in. huge number In addition, because the speed was fast, the zombies reached the front of the stadium in an instant. "Hyung, can you really stop something like this?" Taemin Lee looked anxiously at the plants that sprouted up at the entrance to the stadium. The ''Solar Plant'' made after the shape of the sun was quite large, but it didn''t seem suitable for battle. Oppa. I mean, didn''t you deliberately choose something strange because you enjoyed thrills like before? Flexibility was also added. Even the two dead people had never used it as the main force to defend the plants on the 4th floor. It means completely unknown territory. Don''t worry. These guys are more useful than they look. Jinhyuk laughed lightly. right then come! Sreung! Cheon Yoosung drew his sword. At the same time. thud! thud! thud! thud! thud! With a roar that shook the earth, the zombies began to attack. Zombies trying to enter the arena without hesitation over the vines. But, the moment the first zombies set foot on the ground. [Solar plants fire Lv1 ''Sunlight''!] The large swelled plant vomited a sphere with a diameter of 2 m. Aww! A huge mass of mana that was blown away with the energy of the sun exploded in a place where zombies were densely populated. Kie-ee! Aww! Zombies with their whole bodies on fire stumbled and fell. Ugh? "Wow, what kind of power !" I think it''s much stronger than a flame tower or a ice tower. " " An earthquake occurred in the pupils of the four people who were watching. More than fifty zombies have evaporated in one room, so it is inevitable. That''s why I said. It doesn''t matter if you choose the stadium as your base. Although there was a strict condition that you had to catch the boss on the 3rd floor and get to the 4th floor first. First of all, it is this plant-type tower that exerts the best power if prepared well. ''Of course, if it weren''t for me, I wouldn''t be able to use this properly.'' To properly understand plant traits and use them in the right place, you need experience, not luck. A lot of practical experience. I need a minute or so before I can use the next light of the sun. In the meantime, I''m asking you to stop the zombies. Cheon Yuseong grabbed the sword as if there was nothing more to hear. In any case, it''s good to have a quick glance. Don''t overdo it, and don''t get bitten by zombies. If you get infected with a virus and change, it becomes cumbersome to deal with. It''s ridiculous. Do you think I''m going to get hit by a zombie or something? Didn''t you get smashed when you said that to the Moorim kids a while ago? Said to wipe it all away. Barely surviving for 3 minutes, his life was in jeopardy... I had a very good look. Seriously, I should have filmed that scene and held a full-scale concert once a month, but it''s just a pity. Oh, that''s! It''s because I lost my stamina while fighting the guys below. Have you seen how many people I''m dealing with by myself? Oh, you must have said that. This time, please take care of your physical fitness. Ugh. Cheon Yu-seong swallowed a moan filled with anger. It was because he felt himself that no matter what he said, it would be nothing but a lame excuse. Then he turned around with a sullen face. ...I''ll do it right this time. Don''t forget to build your self-esteem until the end. Hyung. I''ll take the center. If it is Lee Tae-min, who has a wide field of vision with the power of ''Machine Lord'', he can play a role in controlling the overall situation from the center. After all, the skill to fly a drone was a scam itself. Yes. I''ll ask. Ummm. Then, can I go north? I''ll take the south entrance. Softening and Teresa also moved to support the plants. Now all that''s left is east. ''I''ll be able to practice skill properly in a short time.'' Jinhyuk took out the ''double dragon sword'' he received from Yoo Chunyoung. A sharp blade that was enough to make my eyes shiver with anticipation. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart beat quietly. A relic-class item that is used for the first time in real life. how powerful is that Now is the time to try it out. ''First, from the grave of the sword... .'' Jinhyuk expressed his black strength. huuuuuuuuuoooooooooooooooooo A harsh, unmanageable aura spread over the sword so softly. ''indeed .'' How can you fully embrace such a heterogeneous and ruthless ability? As if they were one body from the beginning, the sword and the ganggi formed one form. Aaaaaaah! Keeek! Zombies opened their mouths to eat human flesh. Saliva mixed with blood dripped. You must be very hungry, I''ll make you eat a lot. Although it''s not the lean meat they want, if you eat a lot of ganggi, you''ll never want to eat something again. like that. On top of the stadium that has become the land. [Black Moon Night (ҹ) is activated!] A black crescent moon fell. [You have blocked the first wave.] [After 3 hours, the second wave begins.] [Time remaining 2h:59m:59s] with a short status window. A message announcing victory appeared. The players who were at different bases took a rough breath. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh. Damn, it came so suddenly, it''s really tough from the start. I mean. Do you think it would be dangerous to go halfway through the last wave like this? Hold on with this bite. To get additional rewards, you have to rub it somehow. On the 4th floor, in addition to blocking the wave, additional rewards were given for completing some achievements. The most zombies killed, i.e. the most kill rewards per point. A Popularity Award reward that received votes from subscribers around the world for how varied and splendid the defense was. There are two A chance to get A-class random boxes as well as rare items and materials that are sold at high prices on the coin exchange! To get ahead of others, you must achieve one of those two. But right then. [The highlight video will be broadcast.] Another phrase appeared. It was a three-minute video that edited the activities of each base for the popularity vote of subscribers. "After all, the Chinese side is strong." The one that stood out the most in the highlight was the mart with the Chinese guild Triad. Combination consisting of the main fire tower and the sub-tower of the divine series. Hundreds of people as well as players who seemed like strong rankers blocked the first wave quite easily. Looking at the brilliant skills based on the cool directing and skill, it was sure to get a pretty high score in the popularity vote. After a few seconds, the screen changed. It was the largest and most difficult to defend ''Sangam Stadium'' among these bases. Are you saying that five people will block that wide area? I wondered what kind of idiots picked it up, but they really do exist. Those with empty heads. I assure you. Annihilation in the next wave. Fuhaha. Look at the defense tower they chose. It''s a plant. Besides, there''s no auxiliary tower. Immediately, ridicule from the players erupted. I had no choice but to do so. In defense, it was common sense to choose a flame tower with excellent power or a ice tower with both attack power and crowd control. Plants that are difficult to grow and that only bind their feet, no one cares. However. As the video continued, laughter turned into admiration. What, what? Unbelievable . The admiration soon turned to astonishment. Damn. Did the plants take any medicine? What''s so strong? I can''t believe it. I heard it''s difficult to grow, but what method did you use? strong. strong but too strong As if laughing at the players who chose other towers. What was most surprising was the skills of the five. "Five we''re blocking it from here." One person is defending one entrance. Unless your skills are backed up, it will be impossible. And the one that stood out the most was the black-haired Asian at the eastern entrance. How can you handle Kanggi so freely? I''m just... I''m glad that I''m a player. The thought of meeting an enemy is terrifying just imagining it. Ugh. The sight of literally sweeping away the zombies was enough to make the whole body goosebumps. Different abilities and appropriate distribution of power. Even when dealing with a large number of people alone, not a single breath was disturbed. not at human level. Who? It''s like a ranker... "It must be China or Japan. These days, the big guilds there are doing great." A man shouted as speculation and prediction were going back and forth. Ah! That player, Jinhyuk Kang. Korea''s ranker Jinhyuk Kang! "Who''s got an S rank this time?" "Come to think of it, I heard that there were big rookies in Korea as well." It deserves an S-class. It''s so strong that it has to be. In a situation where large rookies are pouring in, it was not easy to remember players from other countries. However, at this moment, a name was clearly engraved in the heads of the players on the 4th floor. About a player named Jinhyuk Kang in Korea. And about the specialness that the player has. same time. Jinhyuk explained the plants to the rest. These are ''replanting'' and ''pruning''. Since there is soil I made myself, you can do the pruning here. For pruning, you only need to prune the 6th and 7th branches right now. . If you do that, you will grow up well after that. Plants must also be grown to strengthen the base. If this method was used, the growth rate could be maximized by increasing the number of plants and at the same time cutting out the parts that were eating unnecessary nutrients. How about it. It''s simple, isn''t it? Go, it''s simple? Is this this? Because of Jinhyeok speaking calmly, Yoo Yeonhwa sighed as if she was full of energy. Brother. What botanist were you really? Brother, the other day [Tower of Trials] What did you do when you did? I think this is almost enough to write a dissertation about the tower... Jinhyuk, you''re really amazing. Wow. It was no wonder that it was difficult for me to win. It was a mistake to try to compete against a bad person who was out of common sense. Well? There''s something strange between the compliments. that last statement. I''m very hurt Anyway, you can do it this way. Please take good care of the plants until the next wave. You''re taking good care of it. What does that mean. Where are you going? Cheon Yoosung raised his eyes. It was an expression that he did not understand at all that a key force was absent in an important defensive battle. I''ll go to the base next door to play for a while. I saw the highlight video earlier and it was pretty well blocked. At this rate, I didn''t even know if I would have to compete for the most kills. You can''t leave it like that. Naturally, there is no need for a rival on the 4th floor. Because this wasn''t a cooperative game. And the Moorim guys just didn''t like their existence. Above all else, I must pay the price for those who put knives on me and my colleagues. Don''t dare even think of touching it again. CH 77 How to defend a dead person (2) Jinhyuk, who gave me a simple warning, glanced into the air. Now it''s time to show up... . The moment I thought so. T-tiring! [The ''solar energy'' for the first wave is settled.] Also, it showed up just in time. Jinhyuk had a satisfied smile. [You have acquired a total of 1500 ''Solar Energy''] The power of the sun obtained by killing zombies. Using this, it was possible to grow more diverse and powerful defense plants. ''You can''t go all the way with projectile plants alone.'' The projectile plant that blocked the first wave was powerful, but there was a delay, so it was not enough to prevent a large intrusion. As the waves continued, zombies whose bodies were dramatically strengthened or even special zombies that fell from the sky appeared. Naturally, plants also have to diversify accordingly. The tight tightrope between zombies and plants was the key to attacking this floor. [[''Botanist'' because you have acquired an amazing amount of energy] You have acquired the title.] [Botanist] Difficulty to obtain: SS only on the 4th floor Description: Increases the performance of all plant defense towers by 10%. It is commonly said that plants have no intelligence and no emotions, but that is incorrect. Plants will sympathize and respond to the botanist''s mind and annihilate his enemies. The solar energy you can get from the first wave is usually only 300. This is because of the plant''s flowering rate and the trait that it is difficult to grow. That is why most players did not even look at the plants boasting extreme difficulty. However, Jinhyuk chose a large base called Sangam Stadium and was able to secure 5 times the solar energy because he dealt with a huge number of zombies. This would completely change the story. [Carbon Plant / Destructive / Required Solar Energy: 300] [Frozen Plant / Ice Type / Solar Energy Required: 350] [Rock Plant / Defensive / Solar Energy Required: 250] [Runaway Plant / Wide Type / Required Solar Energy: 600] There are a total of four plant types to choose from in the second wave. Of course, you have already decided where to place which plants. I''ll plant one meat plant in the east and one in the south, and an ice-cold plant in the center. One rock plant on the west is enough. Finally, the runaway plant seeds were received separately and put in a pocket. ''great. Then... .'' Jinhyuk also purchased additional necessary items from the coin exchange. ''10kg of cow dung on a dry plateau'', ''5 bags of last leaves'', ''100 Pentellas dung beetles'', ''100 gray earthworms''. They are all ingredients for making fertilizer. Naturally, not all fertilizers are the same. It was the privilege of only the deceased to find the optimal combination among the endless combinations. [The cotyledons of the plants tremble.] [You are savoring the sweetness you have tasted for the first time in your life.] It''s probably because of the botanist''s trait that you can hear the heart of plants Yes, yes. Eat a lot and grow taller. Jinhyuk mumbled as he sprinkled plenty of fertilizers. On the other hand, the faces of the rest of the people who looked at Jinhyeok were darkened and distorted than ever before. Sister. I think the older brother is crazy? Taemin swallowed dry saliva. I''m watching too. How long does it take to be stuck in the tower like that? I, I''m scared too. Jinhyuk-san, doesn''t it seem like you can communicate with plants? Maybe it''s my misunderstanding? Please tell me I''m mistaken. Yoo Yeon-hwa and Teresa also shook their heads as if denying reality. "If it were that guy, it might really be possible. I can''t because he''s an unpredictable guy." Even Cheon Yooseong frowned as if in fear. I don''t know if you know how everyone feels. Whoops. Anastasia. Yes. Yes, you should chew it well too. Christina. Jinhyuk stroked the plants as if lovingly. About 5 minutes later, Jinhyuk, who had entrusted the base to the four people, immediately left the stadium. Bring food first. You have to sweep out every convenience store in every alley. Okay? Food and water come first. "We are in charge of medicines and necessities. It will get harder to get out as time goes on, so we need to secure as many as possible in the beginning." If possible, you should avoid fighting with other guilds, but if you don''t want to, throw them all away. The street was crowded with quite a few players. There is still time until the next wave, so in the meantime, we are trying to prepare for the next wave by farming on the streets. ''Ttttttt. This isn''t the time to prepare for something like that... .'' Jinhyuk walked slowly between them and clicked his tongue. I came here unprepared in the first place, do you think it makes sense to prepare for a long battle? The probability of the base being captured before the second half is much higher, right? Rather, pouring out all of the coins they had to strengthen their defense towers was the only way to survive even one wave longer. ''Well, if they knew that, they wouldn''t have been so embarrassed on the 3rd floor in the first place.'' For most players, there is not enough information about the tower. It''s almost like seeing each other for the first time. So I just have to do something stupid like this. ''I mean, I keep forgetting that I shouldn''t judge by my standards.'' Jinhyuk burst into laughter. While looking around like that, I arrived in front of the building right next to the mart. Unlike the mart guarded by Moorim and Samhaphoe, this place was not used by anyone as a base. The building was devoid of people because it had no particular advantage in defense and it was not a place with abundant supplies. Jinhyuk walked into it. [You have entered the base ''Geek''s Antique Art Storage''.] Medieval armor made of iron and pottery were lined up in a row. Most of the showcases were smashed. The floor is in a state of accumulation of dust because no one has been in and out for a long time. A place where the destroyed modernity and the lost history overlap. ''It''s been a really long time.'' Almost 8 years ago? This place was accidentally found while wandering around to test how long it can run away from tens of thousands of zombies. Jinhyuk looked at the dozens of paintings hanging on the wall. Faded landscapes adorning a corner of the museum. He had lost his weapon and reached a dead end with the thought of breaking the zombie pot by tearing the frame right before he died. Jinhyuk stretched out his hand towards the frame just like then. OK. huuuuuuuuuoooooooooooooooooo Hand passed the picture. The seemingly perfect wall suddenly turned into a passageway leading to the mart next door. ''I knew this.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. some kind of bug. Bugs that were not fixed in the game were also reproduced in reality. Jinhyuk quickly moved to the other side. ''There is no one standing on the guard.'' As expected. Zombies and intruders will all come to the entrance, so of course we have no choice but to focus all our energy on the entrance. Perhaps, he couldn''t even imagine in his dreams that there would be a hidden passage behind this. Jinhyuk looked at the food and supplies piled up like a mountain. This was enough for at least a few hundred people to survive for two or three weeks. That''s why the supermarket is good. Thanks to you, our cutie can eat a lot. The last plant brought without planting at the base. [Runaway Plant] It had the disadvantage of requiring a huge amount of energy, but isn''t there already enough food to overflow here? If it wasn''t mine anyway, there was no reason to feel sorry for it. [The runaway plant is eating.] In the depths of the food warehouse no one cares. Whoops! Whoops! Whoops! The reddish plants began to grow in size at a rapid rate. I ahahak! Cubs damn sure I''m going to swallow and chew. Can not put their children never alive! Zhuge Cheon spit out swear words mixed with anger. His face, still stained with blue, looked quite painful. Aww! The bottle of water was torn into small pieces, and water splashed in all directions. I also think Chun is right. No matter how hard it is to get to the top of the tower, you don''t need to have a hard-to-manage guy, right? Dang So-ha also responded to Zhuge-chun''s words. " " Hwangbo-gunak shut his mouth firmly. Then, I asked Nam Gung-hyeon, who was next to me, implicitly. "Hyunah. Do you think so too?" I... I. Namgung-hyun muttered his words. Then, Hwangbogunak''s eyebrows curved in an inverted manner. What? Are you sure you''re scared? My, am I scared? Yeah. What''s the difference between a crab with a fully curled tail and a terrified Seungnyang? Hwangbogunak deliberately said a mixture of provocation and stimulation. Because if I got angry, I could overcome my fear. However, Namgoonghyun didn''t even respond to those words. it''s completely frozen. Because of the character Kang Jin-hyuk. ''Is that enough?'' A wall that can only be felt by us who have fought against it, not a third party who is watching. Maybe, they didn''t even know they were trying to attract players they couldn''t handle. everyone . That was when Hwangbo Gunak spoke up. Aww! Suddenly, the whole store shook with a loud roar. Woah ah ah ah! Aww! People... save people! At the same time, terrible screams erupted from here and there. What''s going on! Hwangbogunak pulled out his sword and kicked the door. Obviously, there is still time until the second wave. So the current shock is not due to zombies. In addition, in the yard where even the highlight video was released, there was no crazy person who dared to attack here. Because everyone could clearly see where the strongest base on the 4th floor is. no. There was only one. A guy with a liver sticking out of his stomach enough to do such a thing. no way . Dang So-ha''s teeth were wrinkled. Tea... a large plant, a huge plant appeared in the warehouse! All players are being eaten! Ughhhhhhhhh, we can''t do it. No way! no doubt it''s him Damn! My stronghold! Hwangbogunak shouted with a desperate face. There is not much left until the second wave arrives. If you lose your base now, you have to prepare for the worst possible situation. Losing this place has to be stopped somehow. But it was already too late. kukukuku! The ceiling collapsed and the pillars were smashed. The whole store started to collapse. and in between. Um. I brought some housewarming gifts, but our cherries are so good. I''m really sorry. Jinhyuk was scratching his head with an innocent smile. CH 78 How the dead defend (3) Eat a lot, my sweet cherry. Jinhyuk stroked the red-stained man-eating plant. It ate all the food in the warehouse, so its size and power were beyond imagination. OK. Keeeeeeek! A huge plant that reached 10 meters in height roared wildly. The air rumbles. Contrary to the cute nickname, could there be a more terrifying nightmare for players who fight against him? Oh, it''s coming! Damn it, spread it all out! If you stick together, you''ll be annihilated! KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A huge vine swept through the mart in an instant. What the hell is this! Hwangbo Gunak screamed as he flew his body without hesitation. Huh? If we destroy this stronghold right next door, the number of zombies going to you will be much higher! But why would you do such a stupid thing! The fourth floor is a competitive structure and a floor that requires minimal collaboration. If ''that guy'' wakes up after trolling openly, it means that they can all die. Even if it was a member of the Moorim on the 20th floor. ''That stupid player can''t know that.'' If you knew the consequences of your actions, you wouldn''t have dared to do something like this. Hwangbogunak clicked his tongue inwardly as if frustrated. However. You must be afraid of the queen. The words that came out of Jinhyuk''s mouth completely overturned his expectations. "Wow, you know about the queen?" Of course you know. There are two ways to get special rewards on the 4th floor. The first is to achieve the most kills. And the second is to be elected as a popular base through subscriber voting. like this However, there is actually another way to earn rewards. There is a third way you can never get by in the normal way. Hidden Quest ''The mother of the dead''. Defeating the Queen of Zombies is the best way to get the biggest reward you can get on this floor. ...I can''t believe it. A human being who hasn''t even entered the tower in a while... If one of the large bases guarded by more than 200 players is destroyed before 3 waves, a special event occurs. That''s the case right now. ''It''s me, but I found this method as a shortcut to breathe life into a cheap clay doll.'' There was no chance that a large base, which was normally defended by more than 200 people, would be captured before the 3rd wave. Therefore, when it is known that human power is overwhelmingly weak, the queen of zombies wakes up. In order to wipe out unworthy enemies in one stroke, it means that they move directly to the base where humans are. At Jinhyeok''s unobtrusive reply, Hwangbogunak lost any more reason to doubt. True. The opponent knows everything. You know about the Queen''s existence, but are you planning to bring her back? I don''t want to block 50 waves of zombies one by one. It''s boring. Not to mention that I''m tired. Under normal circumstances, you should be in these gloomy ruins for at least a few weeks. There is a way to avoid suffering, but there is no reason to go back to the difficult way. Of course, at first, I was trying to attack with the Jeonggong method. This is because in order to destroy a large base within 3 waves, they had to massacre common players. But from the moment I met these guys. And since these guys picked one of the large bases in Matra. The plan has changed. There was no reason to feel any remorse against those who raised their swords in the first place. With this, all of your strongholds were destroyed. No matter how powerful they are in the middle class, it is unreasonable to deal with zombies without a base. Because the limits of the size and physical strength of the troops were a wall that could never be overcome as an individual. So, the remaining time. Let''s try our best to live somewhere. The purpose of coming here has been accomplished, now it is time to go back. Jinhyuk turned around without hesitation. Where is this rip-and-death bastard trying to get away with his own words! Do you think you can get out of here alive? Kakakan! Sparks flew out of Zhuge''s sword. However, Jinhyuk walked out of the mart without even paying attention to Jegal Chun. Because there is no reason to fight anymore. already. Keeeeeeek! Plants that would completely turn the base into ruins were backing it up. same time. bang! bang! bang! kwaaang! At Sangam Stadium, a frantic black wave pounded against the rocky plants. [The rock plant activates Lv1 ''Deep Root''!] It was a rock plant with a very hard and steep body, so even the zombies could not easily climb over the wall. Then, this time, the zombies started climbing using their bodies as a foothold. Kurre! Aww! The body of the zombies lying on the bottom was crushed by the weight, but they did not feel pain in the first place. But the moment the first zombies crossed the shield plant and entered the arena. In the key? A shadow fell over the zombie''s head. [The meat plant uses Lv1 ''Full Body Leap''!] kuuuooh! A meat plant with a size that could have weighed a few tons crushed the zombies as it was. There, the frozen plants radiated cold, and reduced the movement speed of the zombies. A really neat defense. For the remaining four, it was enough just to do the post-processing. ...it''s really amazing. It''s already possible to defend yourself without players intervening. Did Jinhyeok take all this into account? Theresa muttered with a look of admiration and awe. It is an unbelievable sight to see. "If it were you, it probably would have been." "We used to go together with my brother, so I thought I knew a lot about him, but looking at it like this, it makes me think that we are still far away." Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa also added one word at a time. " " On the other hand, Cheon Yu-seong frowned as if he was dissatisfied with everything. The more you look at the competitor you have to overcome, the more you get annoyed because it is a huge monster. It was extremely difficult to deal with enemies who design situations beyond simply individual combat skills. But that was then. [The large base ''Mart'' has been captured.] A status window appeared suddenly in front of everyone. What, what? Teresa exclaimed in surprise. If it''s a mart, it''s where the Chinese players used to be before. You said there was a hole there? Nonsense . "Maybe it has nothing to do with my brother, is it?" The time when Jinhyuk left with a wide smile and the timing of the capture of the base coincided perfectly. Above all else, it didn''t make sense that a large base with such powerful power could not stop the second zombie wave and collapsed. no doubt Something strange is happening. And to prove it. [A special event has occurred.] [The owner of the 4th floor, ''Pendariel'', moves to punish the weak players.] A red status window appeared next. You''re the owner of the fourth floor... What the hell is that? No way. Wasn''t this all we had to do to stop the zombie wave? The fact that there was a boss monster on the 4th floor was the first time I heard about Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa, who used to come and go here as if they were their own. Of course, other people could not even guess about the existence of Pendariel. Looks like he''s doing something great again. Cheon Yuseong looked out of the stadium and murmured. Jinhyuk left the mart and moved around the roof of the building. It was to find a suitable place to use the item. how far did it go? ''It''s here.'' Jinhyuk''s footsteps stopped. There are a number of bases around, so the flow of mana is intricately intertwined, and it is not far from Sangam Stadium. It is perfect. Jinhyuk took out a small stone from the subspace inventory. A special item obtained by defeating the 3rd floor boss monster, Mu-Hoon. It was a ''stone that blocks the sun''. [Stone that blocks the sun] Acquisition Difficulty: Unknown Description: A ceremonial relic used in the ancient Maya Empire, allowing it to block the sun and bring in darkness. When used, reduces the abilities of the five elements (water, fire, earth, wind, light) by 50% and increases the power of the dark attribute by 100%. [The ferocious option is forcibly activated.] This item should never be used on the 4th floor. Most of the abilities players use were one of the five elemental abilities. On the other hand, if the zombies receive ferociousness with the dark attribute, their movement speed and attack speed will be doubled. However. Whoops! Jinhyuk smashed the stone as if laughing at all of it. Shattered fragments fell on the roof. Then at that very moment. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Darkness swallowed up the sun. A thick carpet began to fall over the building. The difficulty of attacking the 4th floor with this will increase dramatically. Of course, I didn''t use this item just to enjoy the thrill. Another event arises if you intentionally introduce yourself to danger. as soon as. [human. What do you think?] I knew it. A message that can only be used by the boss monster appeared in an action that was out of line with common sense. It was the same kind of message that Alice used in the corridor. Looking at you, it looks like your guy is trying to swamp the bases, right? [Only. Even the scouts can''t stop it. dudes opponents. There is no need to save energy.] I''m sorry to sound funny, but don''t touch the other bases and come to me. The Sangam Stadium you see behind me is my base. [human. alone. sacrifice. do you?] Rather than a sacrifice, even if a million zombies come, it''s trivial. [Is it boring? come out. my children?] Pendariel''s voice changed. Due to lack of intelligence, even the tone of the translation was not corrected, but anger was oozing out of the tone. you''ll be angry Because only one human ignored the boss monster on one floor. Try to challenge yourself by pouring out all your troops. I''ll wipe them all out. Jinhyuk groaned. [good. human. your stronghold. destroy it first A warning to all humans. To regret that you dared to attack us.] The Queen''s message ended there. After a while, the troops filled with her wrath will come all the way here. ''Was it well recorded?'' Jinhyuk looked at the broadcasting system. [The edited version of the video from the large base ''Mart'' is being uploaded.] After seeing the video being uploaded, Jinhyuk clenched his fists. ''great.'' Everything went as planned. The stupid Chinese players couldn''t keep a single stronghold and activated Hidden Quest. So you have to be prepared for the worst. At that moment, Jinhyuk Kang risked himself to save everyone. Use the ''stone that blocks the sun'' so that the zombies flock to their base. It will look like a hero in everyone''s eyes. However. ''Most kill rewards and popularity votes. I''ll take all the rewards for catching the boss monster.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. Saving people is a bonus. The main purpose is to wipe out all the rewards. Through this. It created a golden opportunity to monopolize the popularity of the public and even sweets. no one else ''On my own strength.'' CH 79 . mother of the dead ''Pendariel'' (One) [New video has been updated in the Tower of Trials.] Due to the video uploaded by Jinhyuk, the bulletin board of the Tower of Trials was turned upside down once again. - Nyangnyang Punch: Wow. Was it because that large guild couldn''t stop even a single zombie, so it took this four months? -Taiwan is number one: ?? Look at how annoying you really are. You just made a daunting task very hellish. It turns out that there is no player who knows the hidden boss? In what way do you break this? -You have to stand the line well: How careless you are, you can''t stand 2 waves. Seriously disgusting level. -Black tea flavored tteokbokki: It is said that the large raiders trying to preempt the queen a while ago were also annihilated. They''re really bad prospects. ha. Those bastards shoveled and lost their lives. The profanity continued like an explosion of water. However, the large Chinese guilds could not open their mouths once. This is because the Triad was annihilated and the people belonging to the Moorim were not players, so they could not upload a video that could refute them. Everything went as Jinhyuk had planned. -Tuesoo over Baeksu: Still, the genocide was able to be prevented because player Jinhyuk Kang led him well with the boss aggression. -King''s God Emperor: If it wasn''t for the real Kang hyung, everyone in the small base would have died. -David H: That''s good, but does it make sense to fight the queen with five people? -Chosun First Sword: No one knows, but Kang Jin-hyuk is an S-class player recognized by the most powerful country in the game. believable. -Sbuck Mania: If you hit Kang Jin-hyuk, related videos come out all the time, so do a regular run once. It''s a card you can really trust. - Sae Young Eon Hwan: Does Unknown come out at this time? I want to see that player and Kang Jinhyuk fight together. In contrast, the evaluation of Jinhyuk skyrocketed. This is because of the widespread perception that Jinhyeok is the only hope in a situation where even rankers are dying. Oppa. Didn''t you really spread the plate too big? Yunho let out a small sigh. Jinhyeok, whom she knew, always broke common sense and looked for another way, but she never imagined that he would overturn the board in this way. The back of the head is tingling. Hyung, how did you know that there are boss monsters here? The current situation was embarrassing for Lee Tae-min as well. Well, I just found this after trying things out. " " Found this while testing it out. Even if you say it lightly, you must have tried countless challenges and attempts to discover the hidden Hidden Quest. "It was Jinhyuk who broke the mart, right?" Theresa also asked what she was curious about. Well. I don''t know too well, but it wouldn''t break naturally, would it? However, Jinhyuk just smiled and turned his head. Miscellaneous is probably good. So, is there any way to deal with the Queen? Lastly, I mentioned the most important thing. Yes. It was good to open the door and get everyone''s attention, but if there is no way to solve it, all of this is nothing but suicide. And of course. There is a way to win. Jinhyuk knew the only way to end this fight. Of course, the process won''t be smooth. However, considering the rewards, it was well worth the risk. I''m glad I didn''t do it without thinking. So what should I do now? If you tell me how, can you do what I tell you? I will do anything to survive. "You can''t go back and change your words later. Your role is very important this time." ...Tell me. Cheon Yoosung nodded his head with a stiff face. Perhaps, he thinks that he is entrusted with a very difficult task. It''s hard right It''s just a different kind of difficulty than he expects. To feed them one shot, you need a considerable amount of skill. The problem is... the problem is? Because it''s pretty expensive. no way . Cheon Yu-seong''s expression quickly darkened. Don''t be ridiculous. Why do I have to give you the coins I''ve collected? No, why are you only trying to steal coins from me? There is also Teresa, who is considered wealthy, Tae-min Lee, and Yoo Yeon-hwa, who are doing quite well. But why? Yoo Yeon-hwa gave me the twin dragon swords. Teresa has handed over coins before. Above all else, don''t be like an idiot. I know that the number of views of the video you uploaded recently was huge. Damn it. Did you see that? Yeah, I saw it. You made it pretty fresh and fun, didn''t you? Maybe the title was ''Swordsmanship that allows even the grandmother next door to survive in the dungeon''? Hearing that the swordsman will guide you directly, Aggro Hana was attracted to him properly. Of course, you can''t hit the jackpot with aggro alone. However, thanks to Cheon Yoo-seong''s overwhelming ability, the video was able to hit the jackpot enough to be inducted into the ''Hall of Fame'' that day. I''ll have to kill the guy who taught me how to edit the facial mosaic. Don''t say too much. Because it''s me, I recognized it at once. He used his editing skills clumsily to not sell his face, but he couldn''t even hide his unique swordsmanship. I can''t fool my eyes even if no one else knows. Because if it was a sword of souls, I too was able to recite verses with my eyes closed. ...I was forced to do it because of my personal quest. It''s okay. You''re going to be awkward. In order to grow as a swordsman, he had to clear a quest that received recognition from many. In the past, the standard was low because the number of players was so small, Now that all the attention of the world has been focused, recognition in the millions, not the tens or hundreds, is needed. That''s why I know the pockets are thick. Donate for the sake of the team. How much do you mean? Ten thousand. It is exactly the same amount as the coin revenue earned by Cheonyuseong. When Cheon Yu-seong heard the amount, his expression changed as if he had chewed poop. It seems that all the seeds that Altoran should collect together for the future are blown away, so that''s the way it is. "You don''t have a lot of coins, too? You don''t even need to rip them out ." That''s right, 100,000 coins are a waste for me too. What do I use what I have in my wallet? Do you have a solid line of money in front of you? Hurry up, I don''t have time. Jinhyuk snapped his fingers. The captain of this base is Nago. You are a sailor here. Above all else, in order to face the mighty enemy out there, you must obey the captain''s orders. ...you really won''t be able to die comfortably. [You have received 100,000 coins from player Cheon Yoo-seong.] Cheon Yu-seong bit his molars and vomited out all the coins he had. right then kuung-! kuung-! kuung-! from far away The sound of footsteps shaking the ground began to be heard. The guys are coming. And at a very fast pace too. Except for special floors such as field-type and labyrinth-type floors, each floor of the tower has a boss monster that dominates that floor. Absolutes defined by one word, ''strength''. However, their skills are not necessarily proportional to the layer they dominate. This is because there are people who insist on a lower level compared to their ability because they are bored, annoying, or because they like the level they have. And Pendariel was one of them. Apocalypse, where everything was destroyed. This land, where only the dead could roam, was the ideal world she sought. Kie-ee! Aww! Countless crowds of zombies roared in the middle of the street. But, as if waiting for something, it did not move from its place. right then jerk. Pendariel took a step forward. Chi profit... ! Thick smoke billowed over the asphalt. ''Curse'' by poetry reading it''s effect Normal zombies have a certain amount of poison, but Pendariel''s poison is different. It was able to burn not only the contact but also the air nearby. Only. This level. Humans. Pendariel''s mouth was torn horizontally. Horrible appearance with the whole body stained with blood. Pale skin and red hair that reached to her waist was something she could only see in a nightmare. Turn it off... A man in front of Pendariel let out a moan. Ian Smith. Smith, a ranker belonging to the large European guild ''Pantheon'', immediately after seeing the video uploaded by Jinhyeok, formed a raid and set out to hunt the queen. all in the past [Not only have I played the Tower of Trials for over a year, but I also selected only those who have the experience of raiding the ruins recently.] But the result looks like this. The 55-member raid was a rotten corpse without even rubbing the queen''s collar. What kind of absurd monster... No one can defeat this monster no matter who comes. The very existence of such a guy in the first place created a contradiction in logic. Smith looked up at the Queen one last time. The empty and cold eyes of the Absolute. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! And that was the last memory of a ranker who was promising as a prospect in Europe. That human. Except. Kill. Everything. I will kill him myself. Pendariel gave orders to the endless rows of zombies. Kie-ee! Keeek! The zombies sprinted out of their seats at once and sprinted. Reinforced zombies with a size of 3m were in charge of tanking at the front, followed by special zombies with extended arms or abnormally long heads. All of these guys can only be seen in the second half of the wave. If it hadn''t been for the special circumstances of waking the queen, there would never have been a fight now. However, all those powerful enemies gathered in one place. KwaKwaKwang! kwaaang! All the plants guarding the entrance were smashed. The rock plants and self-destruct plants sacrificed themselves to stop them, but they couldn''t stop it for even a few minutes. It is natural. Because it wasn''t the kind of thing that could be stopped in the first wave only in the third wave. It''s over. Pendariel, watching the battle from afar, was convinced. After a very short time, the arrogant human will be dragged out in front of him. However, the sound she heard from the zombies that attacked the stadium completely overturned her expectations. [Four humans are trapped in the ice. And the person you spoke of is invisible.] Humans trapped? Inside the ice? You mean you put yourself in ice? Are you afraid of being tortured to death by yourself? Or maybe... . ''Do you have any other plans?'' Pendariel''s eyebrows curve backwards. It was a deliberate provocation to bring the zombies to the base. Why? Doubt bit his tail. ''To weaken this side''s power.'' After thoroughly distributing the power. '' to hunt me.'' As the thought reached that point, Pendariel''s head became cold. And at that very moment. [Glacier modeling formula 3, ''Ice Jade Kaleidoscope (zf)'' is activated!] The blackened world was painted white. like that. huuuuuuuuuoooooooooooooooooo Numerous walls made of ice and glass completely enveloped the Queen and her escorting zombies. CH 80 . mother of the dead ''Pendariel'' (2) A world where everything is frozen. Demon territory (ħ) in which each other''s appearance is reflected. This is the last prison created by Glacier Sculpture. What. This is... An earthquake struck Pendariel''s pupil. You can''t help but be embarrassed to see yourself and the zombies constantly increasing due to the diffuse reflection. Aww! I reached out and broke the wall, but behind me was another wall blocking my way. But that was then. [The effect of Ice Jade Kaleidoscope (zf) triggers ''wide-area confusion''!] The kaleidoscope''s second ability blossomed due to the illusion of being sucked in. Kee-e-e-e! Keeek! The zombies vomited all at once. bang! bang! bang! kwaduduk! Then they hit the wall with their heads and bit each other. Some of them even lost their sanity, showing their teeth towards Pendariel. A situation completely out of her control. In an instant, red blood poured over the white ice. Human! How dare you do this! Pendariel, who tore his children to death with his own hands, bit his molars. At the same time, a ferocious energy that could not be compared with before rose from his body. [[Pendariel is Lv??] ''Black Death'' is manifested!] A skill that annihilated the raid led by Ian Smith. This is the ''black death'', which is said to be the most dreadful among poetry poisoning. The black energy that came out permeated the ice wall. kukuku kuk kuk! Then everything that made up the barrier turned black and began to crumble. The walls that surround it are collapsing. The basic gist of the kaleidoscope, which is the basis of the ice labyrinth, has been destroyed. Truly overwhelming power. Pendariel''s unique ability, which exerted all his power due to anger, was completely different. It was not for nothing that even the factions of Moorim, the middle-class dwellers of the tower, were reluctant to fight the queen. In the face of such an absurd ability, even self-defense would have been of no use. Where. Hiding. Is it. Come out! However. Even though the ice prison was blown away, the opponent''s face was nowhere to be seen. ...? Pendariel''s eyes narrowed. I looked around, but all I could see was a shattered ice fragment. right then Her gaze turned to the center of the barrier. there is something Something small, shiny, and at the same time faint remnants of mana. This . no doubt It was a magic stone that activated the barrier using the time difference. ''Maybe it was the bait? Even this?'' Using his stronghold and colleagues as bait. After tying his gaze with brilliant skill and provocation. He himself hid himself. There is only one reason. When I thought about it that far, my heart, which had been withered for a long time and lost its function, was beating at a fast pace. pounding! pounding! pounding! ''Dangerous.'' For the first time in his life, Pendariel felt fear. '' That man is really.'' Because you know what your opponent is trying to do. ''I may destroy all the things I cherish and hope for.'' Instinct sent the supreme warning. It is said that only one human is more dangerous than tens of thousands of players. The 4th floor is a base defense battle. This applies to players as well as zombies. The queen left her colony and moved to kill Jin-hyeok. In other words. ''Their base is empty.'' Jinhyuk increased his speed even more. He was able to keep his stamina at the same time because he was using ''shallow breathing'' in ''Sword Demon Emperor Wangbo (ħ)''. That was then. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A strong mana was felt in the distance. The Queen also began to return with all her might. ''I''m not stupid at all.'' If Pendariel had attacked Sangam Stadium, the stronghold would have been captured quickly. However, that doesn''t mean you won''t win this battle. This is because the victory of the zombies is confirmed only when the bases of all players on the 4th floor collapse. Hundreds of bases remain today. Before destroying everything, his stronghold will be destroyed first, so he must have decided to regroup. ''It''s too late to come and find out now.'' level and skill. power and speed. Everything is pushed to Pendariel. It''s a natural thing. Because the opponent was originally a boss monster that shouldn''t have come out of the 4th floor. ''In battle, I will lose.'' However, overcoming the overwhelming power difference and winning the war using the rules that force the layers. That''s it. It was a way for the deceased to climb the Tower of Trials. Whoa. Jinhyuk took a deep breath. Eventually, we reached the queen''s colony. The troops left behind as sentries caught my eye. ''Forty?'' Of course, this is not even enough to buy time. Sreung! A pair of swords uttered anticipation. [''Sword Graveyard'' is activated!] The sword he held in his left hand was imbued with black energy. Pants! The dark red black river burned fiercely to the point of being creepy. [''Blessing of the Stars'' is activated!] The sword in his right hand was imbued with the energy of the stars. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The light that protects the constellation answered the caster''s call. like that. The miracles that appeared with the appearance of the lost historical relics and towers appeared in one place. Aww! Keeek! The zombies that rushed in were swept away with one blow. Blood poured down like rain from the severed arms and legs. The mass-produced zombies are not a competitor. Jinhyeok broke through the entrance to the colony and dug deeper inside. The view changes. The air also changes. The bloody smell had thickened, and the peculiar smell of a rotting corpse also penetrated deep into the tip of his nose. ''It''s disgusting no matter how many times I see you here.'' Jinhyuk frowned. If there was a hell, would it be like this? The huge tombs made of piled up corpses and skeletons even looked grotesque. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Keeek! Keek! As we went inside, the number of zombies increased, but none of them received Jinhyeok''s attack even once. Jinhyuk mechanically swung his sword and slashed individual objects. In a place where enemies are dense, it was wiped out at once using the divine type ''Daylight''. Not far now. It was less than 100 meters away from the deepest part of the Queen''s flag. ''The time has come to come out of this... .'' Jinhyuk looked at the slightly changed color of the floor. There was a place where I felt a sense of discomfort. In the past, I used to be surprised over and over again when this guy appeared. The moment I thought so. Aww! A long blade protruded from the floor. However, Jinhyuk had already thrown his body back wide. It showed up again. "Mmm I''ll eat !" Taste... it must be! Blood! Innards! Lean! A huge zombie with two heads and a deformed back protruded from the ground. A watchman who guards the Queen''s flag, aka ''The Butcher''. He is the most annoying of the special body type zombies. That why. Are there any annoying named monsters you don''t want to face again in the game? If I had to pick those guys on the 4th floor, this guy would definitely be at the top of the list. Since it has no vital points and can freely handle 2m-long scissors, it continues to move even if it loses its head. To completely suffocate, it means either breaking it down into atoms or dismantling all limbs to incapacitate them. Even though they were far enough away from Pendariel, they were in a hurry because they all counted the time they had to deal with this guy. The remaining time is about 3 minutes. Choose. What would you like me to do this time? Burn it spicy or cut it neatly? Jinhyuk conceded the option. Is that... what... mean? We... are you... seeing... for the first time? The butcher tilted his head. In the meantime, the two heads moved alternately left and right so that they did not collide. I''m sure. But, this is the 30th time I''m fighting with you. As I climbed up again from the lower floor, the terrible memories of the past came to mind. Also cut with a knife. Watch it burn with fire. Later, I tested how many chopsticks it takes to kill. Almost 180,000 hits were enough to smash a single head. ''shit. You shouldn''t do that again.'' What is his challenging spirit, thanks to him, I think I''ve tried all of the dog high school students. I''m talking ... ... on the subject... nonsense... Yum...I''m sure it''ll work... I''m going to eat it from the top of my head... Chunkyung! Chunkyung! Chunkyung! The butcher moved his scissors threateningly. It is a torture weapon that can cut even a thick iron plate like a piece of paper. It must have proven its power by taking countless lives so far. However. This prey was different. At the same time as the scissors aimed at Jinhyuk''s leg. Jinhyuk thrust his twin dragon swords deep into the floor. Kaaaah! The scissors were clogged by the swords on both sides. Aren''t you moving... "Hey profit!" For some reason, I couldn''t cut a single thin bladed knife. Thinking it was an ordinary knife was the butcher''s first mistake. And the second one. [Lv6 ''Element of Fire'' is activated!] The point was that he overlooked the abilities of humans who were merely prey. Jinhyeok, who climbed onto the butcher''s head, smiled brightly. Whoops! A streak of flames pierced his eyes. A flame that burned the retina and pierced the brain as it was. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! "The snow the snow!" Learned to inflict pain long and slow with chopsticks. Naturally, he also learned the fastest and most effective way to kill. ''The cornerstone is to temporarily take your sight.'' Next, take advantage of the gap that has been created and aim for the place where the enemy''s defense is the weakest. Jinhyuk gathered the sparks at the tip of his finger. And at the butcher''s feet, he drew a spell made of runes. from below. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! consolation. The coward fire burned the butcher''s flesh and melted the bones. However, Jinhyuk did not stop there. Because it was a trait of Named Zombies to recover even if given a little bit of time. Now that he was at his weakest point was the perfect opportunity to crush him. Jinhyuk moved the sword with the sword force left and right. A red line was drawn over the gray flesh. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! It hurts everything! It hurts! The butcher screamed and swung his scissors frantically. Rather than an attack, it was closer to an act of self-instinct. Of course, the trajectory is simple, and the attack has no choice but to carry emotions. Thank you. One minute is the shortest record breaking. Thanks to this, we achieved a new record in the 31st round. Puffy! puck! The twin dragon swords pierced the butcher''s spinal cord on both sides. At a moment where it could be said that they were almost simultaneous. He replaced all the mana that Jinhyeok had collected with ''mandala'' (_). His vision turned golden. [Level has risen.] [You have acquired ''Scissors with the Spirit''.] There was nothing in the place swept by the light. The Butcher, who returned to nothingness, left only a single blade in place of the evidence of his existence. Level up and rewards. ''Don''t bother with this taste.'' I felt the reward of running a long distance and fighting fiercely. The distribution of stats and confirmation of items should be done a little later. Now all that''s left is to draw the flag. There were no more obstacles. This fight is over. But right then. T-tiring! An unexpected status window appeared. Look at this? Jinhyuk''s lips twisted slightly. CH 81 . mother of the dead ''Pendariel'' (3) [The ''black hound'' reveals its presence.] [On behalf of Egyptian mythology, I would like to make a suggestion to you.] Nicknamed ''Black Hound''. This is Anubis. After I was confused on the first basement floor, I asked him to stay quiet for a while, but he appeared at this time... . ''It''s fun.'' Jinhyuk looked up at the sky while holding the flag with one hand. They must have been watching before entering the colony. Not on the 4th floor. On a floor much higher up. Tell me if you''re listening. [''Black Hound'' roars low.] Even though he expressed divinity, Anubis did not hide his uncomfortable feelings in the way he did not hesitate at all and rather treated him rudely. kukukuku! The air trembled and mana ran wildly. Of course, there is no way to succumb to such threats. This is not the floor they control. Where are you coughing and fussing? Huh? Are you mad now? Should I just pull this out and put it away? I don''t mind anyway? Jinhyuk gave strength to his hand holding the flag. The flag subtly raised upwards. Then the energy that had subsided heavily like a lie disappeared. [''Black Hound'' is greatly embarrassed.] [I am exhorting you to calm down.] [They say they still want to see the proper end of this fight.] I know. That''s why I intervened. For those who dominate the upper floors of the tower, it would be difficult to accept the fact that the 4th floor was attacked without a proper fight with the boss monster. It was very obvious who would win if they fought properly. And I wouldn''t want to see a single cheeky human being triumphant. But that''s it. Why should I accept your offer? Jinhyuk snorted. There''s no reason to fight against it. Because the match was already decided. [''Black Hound'' is... .] Oh! It''d be better not to make cheap threats. To be honest, it''s not scary if a divinity of your level barks for 100 days. Please, use the whip while looking at the person. If you''d rather negotiate with me, use carrots. Do you know if I can make an offer that will change my mind? Will you fight the Queen? Jinhyuk groaned. The status window paused for a moment. Ten seconds passed like that. [If the ''black hound'' responds to the fight, he will give you ''jackal''s tooth''.] When the status window appeared again, unexpected contents were written. hey I hope you can suggest that. I thought there was a little corner, but it came out surprisingly large. ''Jackal''s Tooth'' is a material item that increases the Spirit speed by 10%. Although there are restrictions on the items that can be upgraded, it received an A-grade rating, but in terms of the ability itself, it was not pushed by other S-class items. It''s a decent enough price. It''s satisfying enough though. the problem is. Because I''m greedy. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. First of all, give me the molars among the teeth. And if you give me another condition, I''ll think about it. [''Black Hound'' is greatly embarrassed.] [Ask how you know about the types of teeth.] The most powerful of the jackal''s teeth are the ''molars''. Unlike other teeth that increase attack power by 20%, this one raises attack power by a whopping 30%. The strongest spear that can leave a huge scar on the subject''s body was one of the best items that could be obtained from Anubis. I don''t know how I know. Will you accept it or not? [I wonder what is another condition for the ''black hound''.] It''s not a big deal. There is a ''white twig'' among the B-grade material items, and I need it. Of course, everything I''ve said now is advance payment. White branches are mainly used for medical purposes and cannot be obtained on the 4th floor, but are easily available on the 10th floor and above. Naturally, from the point of view of Anubis, it was garbage of no value. [''Black Hound'' accepts the offer.] [The contract is concluded.] [''Black Hound'' must pay the promised two items right away, and player Jinhyuk Kang cannot draw the flag until the battle with the queen is over.] huuuuuuuuuoooooooooooooooooo Sharp-looking molars and snow-white branches appeared in front of them. caught Jinhyuk bit his lip. An arrogant god who thinks that everything is under him. From now on, you will hit the ground with your own contract and regret it. Aww! The ground was shattered, and black smoke rose from the colony. I guess. I mean, I killed him. Even the Guardian. Pendariel looked at the butcher that had been turned to ashes. Though I thought no human could penetrate it. As it turned out, the person she was dealing with now was far beyond her expectations. At this point, I had to admit it. It''s not a bug that your opponent should trample on and kill. It is an enemy that must be dealt with with all its might. jerk. Pendariel went straight into the room. The flag has not yet been drawn. As if mockingly, the opponent was waiting under the banner for the queen of the colony. Why. I didn''t pull it. Is that? If I pulled the flag, it would be yours. Victory? I''m sure. But isn''t that too trivial? Jinhyuk shrugged. Sishi. Say? Me. In front of me. Even if I say that. Are you saying that? a cold voice. Jittery! Fluffy hairs rose all at once along the skin. Sure enough, it''s a damn mana. ''It''s thrilling to fight this guy when the level is low.'' No matter how ''gap'' Even if the gap can be narrowed due to stats, there is no player who can beat the queen at this point. Originally, a 1:1 match with Pendariel could not be established. However. Due to the contract a while ago, only one. A player who can defeat the mother of zombies was born. Kak! Jinhyeok cuts the scissors containing the spirit he got from ''The Butcher'' in half. Only one blade left. Exactly, only the right blade out of the two. In an instant, a weapon with an eerie shape resembling a sickle was completed. Jinhyuk immediately took the next step. ''The White Branch'' and ''The Jackal''s Tooth'' And I will fuse ''scissors with a soul''. fusion. A unique ability to unite substances of different properties into one. The ability that I thought was the best for climbing the tower, just for me. this moment right now. It was manifested to face the worst enemy. [Fusion successful!] [''The Scythe of Causality'' has been completed!] [Sickle that cuts causality] Acquisition Difficulty: Unmeasurable Description: A relic of the Primary God that has an absolute judgment effect. You can kill those who can''t die, and you can cut down what you can''t cut. [The system intervenes due to the appearance of an inappropriate relic on the 4th floor.] [This item can only be used once.] kukukuku! An indescribable light completely enveloped the scythe. ''Is it possible to only use it once?'' Jinhyuk clicked his tongue as he read the detailed explanation. He already knew that it was impossible to permanently use an improbable force. Still, I thought it would make me use it 2 or 3 times. Now that it has become a reality, the conditions must have become stricter. Perhaps not Anubis, but if the relics of the Greek divinities were fused, it could have been used at least once more. It was also a luxury in the present situation. ''Still, this was enough to clear the minimum conditions.'' One-hit fatality (һؚ). He obtained a weapon that would surely kill the enemy on hit. This made the conditions equal. Because we were able to hold each other''s breath. [''Black Hound'' is the flagship!] [The divinities in Egyptian mythology do not readily accept the present situation!] The status window went up like crazy. Emotions of astonishment and fear were transmitted from the top of the tower. "The weapon. How ?" It was the same with Pendariel, who was embarrassed. He didn''t even care when he had a bunch of miscellaneous weapons. Either ''jackal''s tooth'' or ''slaughterer''s scissors'' or ''white twig'' anyway. Because he couldn''t hurt his body with anything. However, the moment when disparate items were mixed into one. Everything has changed completely. Unbelievable. The conventional wisdom was destroyed. A new rule has arrived. You bastard! Who the hell are you? Pendariel crouched down. At the same time, it blew up a lot of fraud. Pants Tits! The dark energy slowly began to encroach on the surroundings. I felt the will to not allow even the slightest threat. It was the first defense mechanism she had ever tried in her life, who had always aggressively attacked. At least I know who''s scared. what? Isn''t it? It seems to me that a hedgehog has a lot of thorns and its head is digging into its body, but now? Aaaaah! This! Damn it! Human! Pendariel moved his hand. Then the morale flew away with the movement of her hand. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The ability to Curse whatever it touches. The energy closest and farthest from death charred the earth and air. come. Jinhyuk moved accordingly. The range was so wide that it was impossible to avoid them all, but it doesn''t matter. Because this one also had the ability to prepare for it. [The unique ability ''Mandala'' is activated!] A thin golden membrane wrapped around his body. Chi profit! As the sagi and the mandala came into contact, smoke rose. My ability. You mean offsetting? Pendariel couldn''t help but be surprised again. The unique ability I believed in so much was not working as it should, so it has to be. There is no such thing as invincible ability in the world. Only those who use the power of the opposite poles at any given time according to the situation will survive. Above all, it is impossible to penetrate the armor made of mandala with the concentration of morale used by spreading it widely in the spray type. Wow! Realizing that he had made a mistake, Pendariel gathered his widespread morale in one place this time. It was equipped with the form of a bastard sword that reached 2m. Although it didn''t suit her slender build, Pendariel swung that huge sword as if she was playing with a toothpick. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A blow that cuts through the ground. It''s scary. It''s also threatening. However, that blow, no matter how destructive the blow is. If it doesn''t fit, it''s useless. Jinhyuk was already reading the trajectory of the attack. ''Sword Grave'' and ''Blessing of the Stars'' were overlaid on the twin dragon swords. In order to create the most perfect timing, I had to cut the opponent''s physical strength and concentration first. What followed was an onslaught that continued like a storm. kwaang! Kaaan! Kaka Kaka Kaka! Fireworks were scattered in all directions. The two swords wriggled to find a gap in Pendariel. Only, with something like this! Little by little, he was cornered, and in the end, Pendariel drew out the last card. [[Pendariel is Lv??] Activation of ''Mourning of the Dead''!] hey hey! A sharp scream erupted from the Bastard Sword. The sword will howl. Because I can''t stand the pain I''m sorry. I''m just starting to get excited, are we going to the climax already? I''ll see if I can laugh at this. I''ll see. [''First Sword (һ)''] to see off the dead. A sword to destroy the dead. [''Eternal annihilation''] The blade of the Bastard Sword disappeared. shape too. smell too. presence as well. Everything turned to nothing. CH 82 . mother of the dead ''Pendariel'' (4) Hyperesthesia beyond the senses. It''s not the kind that can be stopped by seeing and reacting. ''I was born with the talent to feel the current sword strike.'' or. ''Or become a dead person who memorizes all the swords.'' Only one of the two can survive before this queen. And he already knew which of the two would suit him better. Rather than the innate nature of innate talent, it is acquired while enjoying it. This is the path that the deceased should be heading. Kaaan! A dazzling flame shattered. Jinhyuk slashed a sword aimed at the heart. The distance between the two of them narrowed by one step due to one vain grooming. Wow! After the attack was thwarted, Pendariel launched a second attack. [''Second Sword (ڶ)''] This time, the tip of the sword was split into countless forks. The divided dots were blurry. [''Dispatch''] The blade erased the remnants of the blade, and sped to tear the enemy apart. front and back left and right. It was a sword strike like a storm with no blind spots. Kaka Kaka Kaka! However, this time the result was the same. Jinhyuk moved his twin dragon swords as if he had measured them with a ruler. Not a single one of those many attacks had a valid hit. The distance between the two narrowed again. This time it''s my turn. A cold breeze rose from Jinhyuk''s fingertips. [Lv5 ''Glacier Formation'' and ''Black Ice'' are activated!] Using ''Glacier Sculpting'' to create an ice sheet and cause the opponent to lose their center of gravity. !? [Lv1 ''Sword Demon King Treasure (ħ)'' is activated!] kukuku bang! Using ''Sword Demon King''s Bo'', he showed a surprisingly grotesque movement even at close range. Aww! Pendariel roared in anger. A movement that is almost impossible to catch while raising a lot of medicine. Trees that withstand typhoons are broken. However, wind-adapted reeds survive. Jinhyeok did not face the huge waves, but simply acknowledged and accepted it. so that. Kaang! It''s always the last laugh. Kaka Kaka! ''It''s me.'' Finally, the gap I had been waiting for appeared. Jinhyuk put his twin dragon swords on the ground and pulled out a sickle that cuts causality. Bill... omg! This can''t be... I can''t! Me. Only. To a human! Pendariel''s mouth was torn horizontally. Can''t be this strong How can a human who can''t live for 100 years have so many abilities? Even with perfect abilities without any gaps. However, no matter how negligent and vicious they were, it was too late. The distance between the two was already close enough to feel breathing. Scratch! The first crack heard after the battle started. A drop of blood flowing from the neatly cut cut end marked the end of the fight. [The 4th floor boss monster ''Pendariel'' has fallen!] [The 5th floor of the Tower of Trials is open!] [Time remaining until conquering next floor: 89D 23h:59m:59s] [Level has risen.] [Level has risen.] [Level has risen.] [You have succeeded in defending the base. ''A-class random boxes (5 pieces)'' were given according to the number of bases.] [You have obtained the ''Advanced Skill Enhancement Book (1ea)'' as a reward for the most kills.] [You have obtained a ''10% discount coupon for coin exchange fee (1 time)'' as a popular vote reward.] [You have obtained the ''Magic Library Admission Ticket (1 time)'' as a reward for defeating the Hidden Boss Monster.] Numerous status windows pouring out. who would have expected Anubis and the Egyptian divinities, convinced of their victory, were speechless. Still, he was much stronger than the boss on the 3rd floor. The unhonored guy was hiding behind his subordinates. Jinhyuk said in an emotionless voice. Of course, you won''t be able to hear from a queen who has already lost her life. The fierce battle of the fourth floor was over. Considering the desperate situation, it was a reversal that was close to a miracle. And now, 24 hours later, a bar in Hongdae. Here, Jinhyeok and the rest of the people who fought together in the defense of the base set up a quiet place to relax. Brother! Here it is! Yoo Yeon-hwa waved her hand. When fighting in the tower, he wore knuckles dripping with blood and used a martial art that was so bloody that people who watched it trembled... . Outside, I came out wearing a hoodie in a comfortable sweatshirt. It looks pretty fresh. Brother! Are you here? Taemin Lee was also wearing jeans and a black tee. Maybe the point is that he wears a white hat upside down. Sorry, are you a little late? No. We just came. By the way, has he really become a completely different person? At first glance, I thought he was a celebrity. "Hyung, can''t we just do things like this in the tower?" After taking a long break, I went to the hairdresser and bought a few clothes, and the reaction changed 180 degrees. Come to think of it, even the hairdresser said that waxing is much better. At the time, I thought it was a commercial lip service, but looking at the reactions of the two people, it seems it wasn''t completely empty. If you dress up like this, what time are you going to climb the tower? Jinhyuk smirked. And he opened his mouth again. What about Teresa? Theresa said she had to stay for an hour or so. They told me to eat with you first? Unlike Jinhyuk, Teresa went back through the gate on the European side where she came from. It would have been nice to have come with you, but after being told that there was something important to do in Europe, I had no choice but to join in the back. If she is a ranker, she will have a private plane, so the road to Korea will not be too difficult. finally. I saw a man sitting in the corner of the table. buzzing around. Did you see that man? "Wait a minute and talk to me." Wow! I think I just made eye contact. He has good proportions with his stature, so whatever he wears will make a difference. Besides, it exudes a chic atmosphere that seems to contain all the worries of the world, so everyone''s eyes are bound to be noticed. Anyway, I''m catching shit. I''m here. Know. "I thought you wouldn''t come or you would be a few hours late, but did you keep your promise?" Jinhyuk stifled a laugh. Because I remembered the process of bringing him to this place. -Come to the bar at Hongdae Exit 3 by 7pm tomorrow night. We''ll all have a beer together. - That''s funny. Why should I participate in such a place? Cheon Yu-seong frowned, but -You have to participate in that kind of place to know how to pick what you want from the random box, right? Jinhyuk promised to come all the way to Hongdae. I actually kept my promise. Anyway, that guy. I thought he was a total neighborhood gangster in the way he talks and acts. I know I am a medical student. Also at Korea University. I am genuinely worried about the safety of the person who will be his first patient in the future. Because it was so obvious that he was swinging a sword instead of a scalpel if he made a mistake during surgery. "Please, if I get hurt, call a healer or just kill me." What other nonsense is that? "I think it would be easier for me to just die because I entrust my body to you " Don''t worry. A ball is a ball and a living. I will do my best to save the patient I am assigned to. shit. I can''t even joke about this. Jinhyuk clicked his tongue and drank a glass of beer. The chilled ice beer seeped into his body, which was hot from the frantic fighting and running. I immediately ripped a piece of chicken coated in spicy sauce. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Great. An exclamation came out of Jinhyuk''s mouth. Moderate sweat and fatigue are also essential to properly enjoy this taste. But right then. [Give me too. Don''t eat only you rudely!] A shrill voice came out of the ring. It was Elise. After the battle on the 3rd floor, he was quiet to recover mana, but how he knew the timing to eat revealed his presence like a ghost. After all, I''ve been stuck in the corridor for hundreds of thousands of eons, so I''m sure you''re curious about the food of the outside world. Maybe this will save the price of alcohol and increase the side income. I really want to let them eat together, but this is quite expensive. No matter how much I am, it puts a burden on my wallet. [Is it expensive? How much do you mean?] Jinhyuk deliberately made a serious expression. I need at least one diamond the size of a thumb. Still, it''s a little money compared to the whole drink, but considering our relationship, I''ll take that in particular. like being kind. like a colleague. The key is to properly use Alice''s psychological burden. [That''s it, my dear. I wouldn''t be the type of person to get it for free.] Alice answered with a solemn voice. After all, the big and wealthy Hogu is always Shadow. Especially at a drinking party. Hey. Are you saying this is sake made by Mimul? Alice''s two eyes shone brightly. From a black dress with gorgeous lace to a necklace adorned with rubies and gold. The fact that I could go outside with so much effort, I decorated it to the fullest and went out. "It''s called draft beer." Ummm! Not bad! It can''t be compared with the finest blood or wines that have enjoyed many years, but it''s still quite thirsty. You sound like a craftsman and you''re embarrassed. That''s a 2,500 won beer that is mass-produced at the factory. Especially today, 1+1 event is being held to commemorate the attack on the 4th floor. Eat this too. This ? It''s called chicken. It''s coated with soy sauce and seasoning sauce. It''s meat... I don''t really like it, but I''m trying hard to recommend it, so I''ll try it just once. Elise elegantly sliced the chicken thigh meat with a fork. I wanted to eat while pooping. Soon his eyes changed. This is like the eyes of a beast that has caught its prey. Jinhyuk sneaks to eat a piece of chicken. Cheengkang! Elise defended it with a fork. " " never. I felt the will to not pass even a single fragment. Yes. When it comes to meat dishes, they must be boiled or grilled, so of course your eyes will roll. Sprinkling salt on the seasoning would have been a luxury. Eat a lot. I''m paying it specially for you. Thank you. Don''t forget this. Alice grabbed the beer mug with a recalled expression. If you look at it this way, she is a very innocent girl. Who would look at this little boy and think it was Jinjo, one of the strongest in the tower? Everyone! I''m here! After a while, Teresa also joined, and the atmosphere at the drinking party grew even hotter. They ate delicious food, remembered what happened in the tower, and enjoyed their victory. However, it was at a time when everyone was in the middle of talking. Cheeky! The TV volume in the center of the bar went up. People''s attention was focused. This is because there was a special feature related to the Tower of Trials, not gossip or sports in the entertainment industry. [As the attack on the 4th floor succeeded this time, attention is being focused on the 5th floor to come later.] [Yes, that''s right. There were many ups and downs, but this time, he was ranked as a Korean ranker. Thanks to Kang Jin-hyuk player, I was able to get to the 5th floor safely.] A man and a woman continued the conversation. [Before we talk about the 5th floor, can we see the simply organized data so that ordinary citizens can understand?] [of course. The table shown below shows the player who played the biggest role in dealing with the boss monsters from the 1st floor to the 4th floor and the country to which that player belongs.] Patrick of the American Titan Guild who cleared the first floor. Maria of the European Olympus Guild and Namgungcheon of the Chinese Guild who cleared the 2nd floor. And theresa, an independent player. Unknown Unknown who cleared the 3rd floor. Jinhyuk Kang, a Korean ranker who cleared the 4th floor. A top ranker in each country and the hope of mankind. The names of the pioneers who will conquer the tower of the future are listed. [Wow! Just hearing the name makes my heart feel grand.] [haha. So am I. It seems like these people will somehow lead mankind to the next level.] [Then, please explain about the 5th floor this time.] The female announcer handed the microphone. [All right.] 5th floor. The main theme of the place where players should spend the next 90 days. [The 5th floor is .] has been revealed CH 83 . Magic Library (1) [The main theme of the 5th floor is ''Escape''.] The male player opened his mouth. [If it''s an escape, are you saying that it starts with being trapped somewhere?] [Yes. There is not much information left because all the videos and records from the past have disappeared, but I was able to reconstruct up to the 8th floor based on the memories of the players who played the Tower of Trials at that time.] [Oh oh. So many?] [haha. It''s all thanks to the dead players.] It''s funny that up to the 8th floor is stagnant. You have to go to the 15th floor at least to enter the stagnant axis. Taemin Lee, who was watching TV, clicked his tongue as if it was ridiculous. Yeah. But what can I do? Most people have folded everything before the 8th floor. It''s great that you got the information up to the 8th floor. Flexibility was also there. Well. Considering our standards, the hurdles are too high for other people. "If you look at it this way, I think it''s a really big deal to have preempted information." Isn''t that obvious? Others added one word at a time. On everyone''s face, I could feel the pride of having experienced more than 15 floors of the tower. Well . Jinhyuk, who saw it, scratched his cheek. ''Should I save my words here?'' To everyone who dared to raise their noses, they had to have seen at least the end of the tower to be able to say that they were dead. Still, they are my dear colleagues. At least it won''t hurt your heart. In particular, Cheon Yoo-seong was a guy who would break the ties of reason if he made fun of him for being 20 stories tall. ''Really, I also think about the mentality of the team members. Even if I think about it, I''m a me.'' That was when Jinhyuk was nodding his head. [ ] If so, can you tell me what kind of escape I should have?] [The purpose of the 5th floor is to choose one of the deadliest places for survival, such as a mental hospital, a gladiator, a mine, and an uninhabited island and escape from that place.] [It doesn''t look as difficult as you think, does it? If you know the location in advance, can''t you prepare for the attack in advance?] Information is the most important thing in escaping. What kind of characters will be in it? What about the terrain and features? what you can use, etc. This means that if you know everything in advance, there are plenty of ways to prepare. [Haha, it''s easy to think like that. But no. On the 5th floor, the location and the composition inside change each time, so the advantage of having a second car is fading, and the nerf that seals even the mana is done. Rather, it will be the most difficult to attack so far.] [Mana is sealed?] [Yes. It seems to mean that you have to clear it with your own power.] A new environment every time you do it. A nerf that seals unique abilities and skills. The premise for this floor is to start with the worst. This floor is so annoying. Uh-huh. It''s been a while since I''ve been nervous. Ah, really, I was on the floor where I didn''t even look at him twice after waking up... There were sighs coming from all over the place. Everyone has to start from the bottom. You must be thinking that way. But only one. Jinhyukman was smiling leisurely. that you know How can I attack this floor as easily as possible? And even what preparations have to be made for that. the next afternoon. Jin-hyeok, recovering from fatigue at the hotel, defeated Pendariel and chururuk listed the rewards he obtained. ''A-class random draw box''. ''Advanced skill enhancement book''. ''10% discount coupon for currency exchange fee''. ''Magic Great Library Admission Ticket''. four like this All of them were collected with nothing to throw away. I wanted to check right away, but before that. Status window. Jinhyuk activated his personal status window. This is because I had to distribute the stat points gained while raising the level. Name: Kang Jin-hyuk Gender: Male Age: 27 Level: 34 Strength 16 Dexterity 16 Stamina 16 mana 62 Gap 100 Luck 10 Adaptive 10 Stat Points you have: 21 Coins held: 235,341 Occupation: None. Unique Abilities: Fusion, Sword Tomb, Star Blessing, Anubis'' Judgment, Blood Magic, Mandala skill: Lv6 ''Element of Fire'', Lv4 ''Eye of Gluttony'', Lv3 ''Communion'', Lv3 ''Stigma of Souls'', Lv4 ''Reading'', Lv4 ''Shallow Breath'', Lv5 ''Glacier Formation'', Lv4 '' Daylight'', Lv3 ''Chuhon Sword (׷ꄦ)'', Lv1 ''Double Spy'', Lv1 ''Jintae Cheonghwarang Heart Method'', Lv2 ''Sword Demon King Treasure (ħ)'' He raised a total of 7 levels, including the ones that didn''t see the status window because he was hunting like crazy. pounding! pounding! pounding! Jinhyuk''s heart was beating rapidly. ''In the past, I thought I grew up with optimization... .'' It was an illusion. It''s because I''m growing so fast now that I can''t even compare it to back then. ''haha. This is outrageous.'' The realized Tower of Trials boasted a level of difficulty that was different from that of the game. However, than the difficulty increased. ''I have a much bigger room for growth.'' Past experience and accumulated skills are proving it. how strong you have become. Feeling a pleasant uplift, Jinhyuk quickly distributed the accumulated 21 stats. [Strength increases from 16 to 19.] [Agility increases from 16 to 19.] [Health increases from 16 to 19.] [mana rises from 62 to 74.] The most important thing is mana. When I raised the 12 stats at once, I felt the flow of mana spread all over my body become much smoother. great. Then... . Jinhyuk picked up the ''Advanced Skill Enhancement Book''. An item that raises the skill level above Lv10 by 1 level, and raises the skill level by 3 levels if it is below Lv10. Considering that it is becoming more difficult to level up the skill level, the value of this scroll was something that could not be converted into money or coins. And, of course, I have already thought about which skill to enhance. ''Glacier modeling is the most important thing to grow not only for the fifth floor, but also for the future.'' A versatile skill that can be used in various situations as well as attack and defense. If I had to choose just one thing, this would definitely be the top priority. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The scroll disappeared with a bright light. At the same time. [''Glacier Sculpting (Form)'' has been upgraded to Lv8.] Pants... ! A cool breeze spread through the inside of the hotel. What? It seems to be getting cold all of a sudden? Did you turn on the air conditioner? What kind of air conditioner is it in late fall? Damn it. Besides, it''s not an air conditioner, it''s almost like a freezer. I think there is something wrong with the central air conditioner... Resolve it quickly so that customers don''t feel uncomfortable. If you catch a cold and come in with a complaint, we''ll all get along! Jinhyeok didn''t know, but the hotel staff had to move busy for a while to find the cause. Meanwhile, Jin-hyeok, who has strengthened his skill, picked up the golden box lying on the bed. Grade A random draw box. As the name suggests, it is a gacha-type item that can be drawn from among A-rank items by turning roulette. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A huge golden roulette appeared in the room. Numerous items corresponding to rank A were engraved on the roulette with a size of about 2m. ''shall we start.'' When I lowered the lever, the roulette wheel started spinning at a great speed. once, twice. T-tiring! [Please press the red button in the center.] When you press the button, an item is selected and the selected item can be used. By the way. Jinhyuk waited patiently with his arms crossed. He looked at the button as if he didn''t care. [Timeout has been exceeded.] [Turn the roulette once more.] A red status window with a warning voice appeared. It seemed that the opportunity itself would be forfeited if it wasn''t even this time. ''A cheap threat.'' Jinhyuk checked the status window and lowered the lever again. However, this time too, he did not make a choice. Of course, there were many reasons for doing this. Is it some kind of bug? Or is it called probability manipulation? Jinhyuk accidentally found a loophole in the system he had manipulated to fuck the players. ''If you give up playing roulette 36 times in a row, the speed of roulette will decrease by 99.99% on the 37th time.'' It''s like playing in slow motion. After that, all you have to do is wait for the roulette to reach the desired item. In fact, last night, I even used this method for Cheon Yoo-seong to pick out the desired item. Just one thing. The only downside is that it has a shelf life of one week. A playful smile hung on the corner of Jinhyuk''s lips. It was because Cheon Yu-seong, whose elemental sword was smashed a week later, was clearly visible in the streets. ''I''m a little sorry, but I''m not lying.'' He said that he would give me the materials to complete the elemental sword. Didn''t you promise that the elemental sword would last forever? Above all, you can enjoy at least a week with the newly drawn elemental sword, so it''s not a scam. Cancer, not like that. While nodding his head, the 37th turn he had been waiting for came. It was slow enough to show which roulette was pointing at. it is now Jinhyuk pressed the red button for the first time. [You have selected A-rank, ''three-color pill''!] red, white and black. Three pills with different abilities appeared. If you want to be able to use it within a week and help you attack the next floor, this is the best. Jinhyuk kept the pills in a corner of the subspace inventory. ''This is a coupon that gives you a discount on currency exchange. You can use it later when you upload a video with a lot of views.'' One last thing left. It''s a magical library. Higher versions of skill, ancient goldsmiths, and barriers that appear only in the middle or higher floors of the tower. The library of other dimensions, where you can learn one magic skill that others cannot easily access, was not lacking enough to make your heart flutter as it is. However, there was an unexpected tension on Jinhyuk''s face. Because the manager of the library you''re about to meet was quite a nuisance. ''I''ll see you again with that young man after a while.'' The librarian who manages the library, ''Rick Hennessy''. The biggest pawn shop in the tower was also owned by the inspiration. Jinhyuk also used to trade often in the past, and he gave Rick the nickname ''Thanos''. This is because the items brought by the other party are always slashed at half price, and the items they own are sold at twice the price. Truly a miracle transaction. It was a leisure that only those with huge capital and inexhaustible items, as well as those with iron plates on their faces, could afford it. But. It will be different this time around. ''This is probably the first time you''ve met me.'' ''It''s not the first time I''ve met you.'' It''s different from the past when I was beaten up without knowing anything. Because this time, I knew everything about the opponent. Jinhyuk bought some items at the ''coin exchange''. And blown mana into the most important ticket of this reward. [The Magic Library has been opened.] kukuku kuk kuk! A gate with a green surface appeared. CH 84 . Magic Great Library (2) Marble floors and colorful lighting. The endless library was lined with many kinds of books. It was intertwined like a maze, but Jinhyuk crossed them without any blockage. Forward. To be precise, towards the center where the information desk is. How long would you have walked like that? At the end of the point where the passage widens, a desk made of old wood and a person sitting there can be seen. Hmm? Rumble! An old man in a black suit with one-eyed glasses stood up. A little bit of curiosity is revealed on his face. I know why. How did you break through this maze and find the information desk at once. that''s what you''re wondering It''s surprising. It''s normal for first-time visitors to get lost in a maze of books. I''ve come this far because I roughly followed the road. I''m sorry to say this, but I''m pretty lucky. Jinhyuk shrugged. It was a ridiculous excuse, but Rick didn''t ask. Rather, he looked at Jinhyuk as if he was interested. My name is Rick Hennessy, who manages this library. Rick politely took off his fedora and bowed deeply. ''A person in the middle manager level is said to bow his head... .'' That''s why this old man is scary. It would have been easier for me to deal with him if he had treated me well or ignored me. Maintaining consistent manners despite being in a high place was proof that he had that much room. A tycoon who runs one of the towers'' largest towers and also manages the Great Library of Magic. In order to get what they wanted from such a gorilla, this one also needed a plan of its own. "This is Jinhyuk Kang." You are Jinhyuk Kang. This is Shadow. You are the one who came here sooner than anyone with the approval of the Tower. As a reward, you can purchase one of the books in the Magic Library, so please choose as much as you like. Rick stretched out his hands. A treasure trove of barriers and shamanism, magic and illusions. It really has everything here. However. "Just because you choose what you want doesn''t mean you can''t have it." Haha. That''s right. This place only gives you a choice. If you want to buy it, you have to pay what it''s worth. Of course, we don''t accept Earth currency. Please note that you can only barter with coins or items. This was also expected. However, each useful magic book required billions of coins, so in fact, the option of purchasing something with coins should be put aside. I don''t have many coins, so it seems difficult to purchase with coins. I am interested in bartering, can you recommend a suitable wizard? Jinhyuk took out ''Merlin''s staff'' from the subspace inventory. And carefully placed it on the table. Parr. Rick''s eyes trembled slightly. It''s a unique habit that comes out when you like something. Um. So, how about this? It''s a flame-based magic book, which is said to have been written by the Red Dragon himself. Exchanged for Merlin''s staff would be a good deal for each other. Rick quickly picked up a book with gold runes on its red cover. It also comes out like this. In the past, he had suffered huge losses when he responded to barter without knowing the exact value of the item. I robbed all the items I had in order to get a useless magic book. At that time, it was a mistake I made because I thought that the magic library was a huge thing. However. It''s strange. It''s strange. What do you mean? As far as I know, this book wasn''t written by the Red Dragon, but by the Imperial Court Mage. The name was probably... Telemos? Have you just crossed the 6th circle? Not even the chief wizard. A magic book written by about 70 magicians in the court. Do you use drugs like that to sell when you try to sell them? ...!? An earthquake struck Rick''s pupil. Previously, a little bit of doubt and interest had coexisted, but now it was a face that seemed to be a mixture of astonishment and vigilance. How do you... Because my feet are a little wider than this. Thanks to that, I know a lot of information. Jinhyuk, who smiled brightly, took out a coffee pot, filter paper and coffee beans from the subspace inventory this time. These were things I bought at the ''Coin Exchange'' before coming here. I think the story will be long. How would you like to have a drink? Jinhyuk placed the ground coffee beans on the filter paper and poured hot water. No. Coffee isn''t important right now... Rick shook his head, then suddenly wrinkled his nose. A fragrant coffee aroma that fills the interior. Maybe this. It was coffee made with Rick''s favorite ''Bengenti Jungle Coffee Beans''. "Does player Jinhyuk Kang like this coffee too?" I''m not a fan of instant, so I looked around a lot. I''m sure the coffees inside the tower have a better flavor. Of course, this was the one that suited them the most. ...hmm. You have a great eye for coffee. Personally, I prefer this one the most. I know. Because I''ve seen you drink 12 cups of coffee a day in the past. Personally, I prefer caramel macchiato or chocolate frappuccino with a lot of syrup rather than bitter coffee, but the important thing now is to win his favor. [The librarian''s favorability for ''Rick Hennessy'' is surprisingly increased.] [Always a trader seeking profit, but as far as you are concerned, he will soften his stubbornness.] A keen eye that sees through the authenticity of things. They have the same taste for favorite foods, so I can''t help but feel good about them. Above all, ''communion'' Even the skill was being used implicitly, so this psychological warfare was over before it even started. "Maybe, can I ask you one thing personally, Jinhyuk Kang?" Please feel free to ask. Since I came here, I know that I''m different from an ordinary player. However, Jinhyuk Kang seems to have a background that is more than special. Common sense, information that the player who has just entered the 5th floor cannot understand. Since I said that calmly, of course I had to think that there was something. I wonder what the background is. You want to ask this. You saw it right away. great. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. I''ve been waiting for you to ask this. Actually, the Egyptian divinities are looking after me. Thanks to that, I was able to come here and also got a lot of information about the tower. Are you talking about the Egyptian divinities? Yes. That''s right. I don''t think they''ll be interested in the player already... You seem to care about me quite a bit. Of course, it''s an undeserved interest for me. Had Anubis heard this, he would have grabbed the back of his neck and fell. No, it was not at the level of falling, but it could have been that he bit his tongue and fell from the top of the pyramid. Because I was able to write a book just by what has happened to me so far. But from Rick''s point of view, there was no way to find out. At least for this moment. "I think I think I treated player too much." Rick''s tone of voice completely changed. Those who are worthy deserve the treatment they deserve. As an apology, I''ll give you one of these books as a gift. hoo. look at this Of course, I expected that the conditions would change, but this was unexpected. You''re saying you''re literally going to issue an air check regardless of the price, right? Can I really choose anything? This is a reward given as an apology to the end. Don''t worry and choose comfortably. If that''s the case... If you don''t mind the price, there''s anything you want. Originally, I was going to exchange Merlin''s staff even after giving up. Thanks to you, I was able to get what I wanted the most for free. Jinhyuk started walking slowly along the library. jerk. My walking speed slowed down a bit. And after a while, Jinhyuk stopped in front of a corner bookshelf. 12F - Row 127. right here ''I didn''t want to see a textbook like that, so why am I so happy with this?'' Jinhyuk picked one of the books in the library. It was a pretty impressive old book with a black cover. Are you really okay with that? It''s definitely a good spell book, but it''s written in ancient runes, so anyone can read it... This commemorates when I, the Black Dragon Macedrian, became an Ancient Dragon. Thousands of years. I''ve been contemplating how to break the rules of the world. This book I wrote. I will do it with this. Jinhyuk naturally recited the first chapter of the book. It''s like an ancient rune. After seeing it for over 10 years, I am more familiar with Korean. Fuhaha! This is my excuse again. Indeed, you are the one who receives the Blessing of divinities. Rick let out a delightful laugh. Perhaps it was because of the surprise that even ancient runes could be interpreted. Or maybe it''s because they misrepresented the Dragon, which is said to be the strongest creature. What is certain, however, is that he has won the favor of one of the tower''s most influential middle managers. Me too. I will keep an eye on player Jinhyuk Kang in the future. I sincerely look forward to the day we will meet again. at the end of that word. kukukuku! The library became a handful of sand and began to crumble. Now that you''ve earned your reward, it''s time to go back to reality. The 5th floor of the Tower of Trials. It had only been two days since the fourth floor was attacked, but quite a few people challenged the fifth floor. It was to occupy a slightly advantageous place in terms of the trait of the map, which is closed on a first-come, first-served basis. And the most popular place among them was ''Mine''. [C - 101 is closed.] [D - No. 77 is closed.] [E - 158 is closed.] Jinhyuk, who looked at the rapidly blinking status window, exclaimed a little. Hey. Well, the deadline is almost the same as applying for college courses. It is also ''sexuality and love'' This is comparable to the speed of super popular liberal arts courses, which are completed in one second. understand it It must have been attractive that it was recognized as clear as long as the gem was found. At least there is less risk of losing your life compared to other places. However. I don''t know if the clearing speed is abnormally slow instead of being safe. Finding the ''Royal Diamond'' buried deep in the mine is similar to finding a needle in the desert. There were many cases of failure even after 90 days of pickaxing. Above all, there was nothing left except for the body to be abused for such a long time. Jinhyuk didn''t even pay attention to popular maps. Instead, we looked at where players were most reluctant. [Z - 01 (psychiatric ward)] Currently on standby: 37 Remaining time: 0h:2m:13s psychiatric ward. A building of death where cursed monsters and mad patients roam. This is the battlefield to choose from on the 5th floor. ''It''s almost time for a deadline.'' But it was at that moment when Jinhyuk was about to accept the participation. T-tiring! An unexpected message has arrived from those who have never revealed their presence before. CH 85 . 5th floor, mental ward (1) [A gift from Caladium Kingdom has arrived.] [Are you sure you want to?] A blinking golden status window. ''If it''s the Kingdom of Caladium... .'' An earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk''s pupil. A country belonging to the ''Empire'' that is hostile to the Moorim. Because one of them was the Caladium Kingdom. ''Did these guys even start moving?'' I thought that someday there would be a connection. I didn''t expect it to move so quickly. Well, new variables have emerged that can break the tight balance. I can''t help but be greedy. At the same time, it also meant that the situation was turning so urgently that the empire drenched in aristocracy could lose its pride. ''The Moorim and the Empire side as well. To change the power composition of the tower, they are trying to preempt the players who can see the cotyledon.'' What is it like to come with a lot of presents? Is it pretty cute? Jin-hyeok, who smiled bitterly, looked at the gift. It''s time to check the distribution of those who dominate the middle floors of the tower. T-tiring! [You have acquired the skill ''A hazy body odor''.] [A hazy body odor] Acquisition Difficulty: F Description: It is a skill that can erase not only your own smell and breath, but also the slight vibration of air. When used, even wild animals can keep you from noticing where you are hiding. (Time limit: 3 seconds, when used 3 times, a 24 hour cooldown is required.) [The system''s deterrence is partially relaxed due to the patronage of higher powers.] If it was on another floor... . This skill would have ended at the ''useful'' level. This is because the activation time was so short and the number of times was limited. However, in a situation where they had to escape through crazy patients and named monsters, the evaluation was completely different. ''As long as the unique abilities and skills are sealed. Skills that used to be F-class have more value than S-class.'' It''s like earning three more lives. If it''s enough to give me this as a gift, even while violating the tower''s restrictions... . It seems like he''s really greedy for quite a bit. ''Let''s use the skill as a thank you.'' There is no reason to refuse to give it away for free to win favor. And there is no need to feel burdened with the gift. ''I just walk a tightrope among the various factions, and I just need to suck up all the honey called honey.'' It''s a push-pull party that burns your opponent''s longing. That is the best position to take in the future. great. Now that I''ve acquired strong skills, let''s stop. Jinhyuk opened the gate to the psychiatric ward. right moment. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo [You have selected the 5th floor ''psychiatric ward''.] [Your unique abilities and skills are sealed.] [There is only one rule, escape the ward alive.] A status window indicating the start of a new floor appeared. At the same time, Jinhyuk''s consciousness became blurred. damp air. The stench of blood and excrement. A field of vision that can''t see even an inch ahead. All of this was speaking. The fact that he is in a psychiatric ward boasting the worst chance of survival. T-tiring! [Ancient Dragon. One of the skills is unlocked by the Macedrian Grimoire!] [You can use ''Eyes of Gluttony''!] As expected, a status window appeared. However, the weak ''eye'' was one of the skills that could most easily escape the system''s constraints. ''That''s why I picked this book from the Great Library of Magic.'' by the way. ''Things are second to none, no matter how much I smell, I can''t get used to it. Adaptation.'' Jinhyuk frowned and shook his head. right then Ugh... It''s terribly dark. Hey! This is the starting point, isn''t it? Damn, why is this place like this again? Other people''s voices could be heard from Jinhyuk''s side. Anyone who can light a fire? It can''t be because all abilities are sealed. It''s like going back to the original village. This. Until now, after using all kinds of abilities, everything disappeared out of the blue, so there is no choice but to do so. If modern people could not use electricity, it would be like this. Huh? There''s something in your pocket! pocket? Yeah. This feels like... chakag! Whoops! A small flame appeared in the dark room with the sound of a lighter. The five men and women could barely recognize each other''s faces. Western men and women and Asian women. Finally, a black woman. ''and me.'' There were five in total. Huh. I''m going to live here for a while. If I had known that the environment would be like this, I would have chosen another place. Um? Do I have something in my pocket? Me too. Mine is like a key. Survival items given at random. Everyone in the room quickly checked their pockets. Of course, Jinhyuk was the first to check which item was given. ''It''s a ballpoint pen... .'' It is a monami ballpoint pen commonly found in offices. If it were someone else, I would have cursed at you for giving me something useless. Jinhyuk looked at the pointed tip of the pen and nodded. ''not bad.'' A true deceased does not blame Tempal. Just use what you have and get the most out of it. by the way. ''Only newbies have gathered.'' From the first reaction to the ability to cope with the situation. Everything was awkward. It must mean that you have no experience in clearing the psychiatric ward. In the past, I would have taken newbies who shiver like chicks with me. But now there was no reason for that. Because this wasn''t a game to laugh and enjoy. I think we''ll have to get through it on our own. Has anyone seen you come here? A large western man opened his mouth. I tried it once, but it was a long time ago... "At first, I heard that the 5th floor structure and items changed every time, so the experience of playing was meaningless." That''s why I chose this route. The mine was so popular that it closed quickly. Everyone came here for their own reasons. It was difficult for Jinhyuk to understand any of these reasons. "I hit a goal." Let''s talk slowly and then move on. Other people were constantly talking, but Jinhyuk''s eyes were on the door. ''I turned on the lighter, so it''s time to show up... .'' When the light is turned on, vision is not the only thing you get. As soon as the player looks ahead through the fire, even those in this ward can see the players'' existence from beyond. right at that moment. jerk. jerk. A faint sound of footsteps was heard. The rest of the people were raising their voices, so they did not realize the incident. Everyone is just expressing their opinions in order to survive in the current situation. Jerk! Jerk! Jerk! The footsteps grew louder. Now even those in the room could hear it. What, what, what is this sound? Lock the door! Lock the door first! Wow! The wooden door was closed. almost at the same time. bang! bang! bang! bang! The door swung back and forth frantically. Here! It''s in here! Clothes! Burn them all! Purify them by burning them all! Blood of the heathen! I''ll tear you to death! A voice filled with madness rang out. Hey! Damn it. Are you here already? You have to get out of here right now. You can''t last long with a door like that! The people who were once patients here have lost their humanity. After that, he sacrifices himself to an unknown god and spends his days filled with blood and madness. Now you have two options left. fight or run away. You have to choose one of them. But the people here had no option to fight. How do you fight when you can''t use your abilities? have to run away betimes. Hurry before your body is shredded or burned alive! Papa, we need to find a way out! The big man looked around frantically. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart was beating fast and my breathing was rapid. People''s voices got louder. bang! bang! bang! Kagak! Pop! Wood shards were thrown out in all directions. A blade with flesh on it could be seen through the cracks. no time now After a little, a little while, the door will be smashed. at that time. Here! This way! A black woman pointed to the ceiling and shouted. it''s a vent If you go up, you can live. At least you don''t have to die like a cornered rat. Hurry! Damn it. Hurry... Hurry up! The people who took the vent cover off started climbing up like crazy. kwaang! Pop! Now there was a gap the size of a child''s fist. Through the door, red eyes could be seen. Put it up! Bring me up too! Come on! Supporting them from below and pulling them from above, they left the room one by one. By the way. What are you doing? You! Without holding hands quickly! Jinhyuk, who is the last one to turn, just stands there. There seemed to be no intention of going to the vent. Damn. Throw it away! I can''t even take care of a man who wants to die! That''s right. Let''s go. Sheesh! The man clicked his tongue. He looked at Jinhyuk as if he was frustrated, but it was only for a short time. Chunkyung! The vent''s lid was closed. Seal of skills and unique abilities. With these two facts alone, the fear felt by the players reached an extreme. However. ''I don''t know what I''m going to do in the future because I''m afraid of not having the ability.'' Competence is only an auxiliary role. How many hellish things will happen in the future, but does it start demonstrating just by sealing some abilities? ''That''s only for fanatics.'' It was possible to use the ''fuzzy body odor'' received from Caladium Kingdom, but it was a skill that was too precious to use here. Jinhyuk held the ballpoint pen in reverse. chakag! The tip of the pen came out with a familiar sound. And at that very moment. Aww! The door smashed, and half-naked men entered. The number is about thirty. It''s quite grotesque with its overturned eyes and a lot of blood covered in it. Kill it! Cut off your limbs! God wants his blood! A rusty sickle and a skewered kitchen knife flew towards Jinhyuk. "I''ve been curious about it for a long time." There is one question that I couldn''t answer when they were AI. I wonder if even fanatics can feel the fear. Human nature hidden in front of madness and blindness. How long will I be able to use that mask? I wanted to check it out. With those words, Jinhyuk''s body disappeared like smoke. puck! Gagging? A ballpoint pen digging into the temple of the man in front. A thin stream of blood spurted from the wound. If you want to take advantage of scale, you shouldn''t have come to a narrow entrance. What if there are a lot of people? There are at most two Grand Masters who can come in head-on. Moreover, a sickle or a long skewer that is difficult to wield in such a narrow place is a negative factor in fighting. Jinhyuk pulled out a ballpoint pen and flew towards the second target. puck! Whoops! Eyes, soft water (). uvula. Even if you couldn''t pierce through the bones, there were plenty of vital points you could aim for. Aww! Aww! A terrible scream rang out. A cold blow with no ejaculation in his hand. In an instant, more than half of them turned into cold corpses. " " " " The ferocious momentum was completely broken. I had no choice but to do so. The difference in power between the two is completely different. The fanatics who came to kill the players were rather overwhelmed by the opposing atrocities. What are you doing? Is it over already? Jinhyuk held out a ballpoint pen dripping with blood. But right then. Aww! With a roar, one wall collapsed. CH 86 . 5th floor, mental ward (2) Huge height up to 3m. Iron triangular helmet. Lastly, even a hammer reminiscent of a crushing car. The monster that appeared through the wall boasted a tremendous sense of intimidation just by itself. This guy is one of the named monsters, ''Breaker''. The ''Eyes of Gluttony'' quickly scanned the subject. Name: Breaker Gender: None Age: 1 year old Level: 45 Strength 100 Dexterity 15 Stamina 30 mana 0 Stat Points you have: 0 Unique Ability: Relentless Hunter skill: Lv12 ''Guillotine'', Lv11 ''Armor Break'', Lv11 ''Breaking bullets'', Lv10 ''Weapon reinforcement'' [The target cannot be killed.] The mana compared to the dramatically high power stands out. However, the biggest information you can get from the status window is the trait ''I don''t die''. A trait of a hunter who pursues his prey to the end of hell and a breath that is not interrupted by any attack. Because of these points, the difficulty of the psychiatric ward was evaluated as higher than other maps. Well, whatever it is, all you have to do is to cook and run well. Because they were invincible and no matter what, you didn''t have to defeat these guys. Great, sir. I... we''re not scared... The fanatics trembled. It was because he knew better than anyone else about the consequences that were to come. Just then, the breaker grabbed the kneeling fanatic''s head. Aww! Red blood poured like a waterfall with a terrible scream. In any case, it is a monster strong enough to be ignorant of one power. ''If caught, I''ll be pulled out with a spine stick.'' Jinhyuk frowned and lowered his posture. Since this guy came out, we have to catch tags from now on. One coin tag game where once caught you have to log out of your life. percussion! The place where he left his seat was between the crotch of the breaker. The breaker reflexively swung the hammer, but it was already too late. Because Jinhyuk had escaped his attack by a single sheet of paper. Instead, he smashed the body of one of the devious hammering fanatics. Boo woo woo! kwaaang! bang! In one attack, the wall collapsed and the floor cracked like a tortoise shell. It is overwhelming power. Enough to turn one person into porridge. However, no matter how strong an attack is, it will be of no use if it is not hit. Jinhyuk avoided the hammer like a loach. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo The breaker, loaded with drugs, began to run more wildly. Wow! Aww! It is the fanatics who suffer from the madly swinging hammer. Jinhyuk gradually widened the distance from the breaker amongst the crumbling corpses. Now, a little further, I was able to get out into the open hallway. But right then. [Breaker activates Lv12 ''Guillotine''!] The breaker, holding the hammer with both hands, leaned back greatly. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The hammer smashed the ceiling and fell towards Jinhyuk''s head. A blow loaded with weight and speed. Even falling rocks obstructed the view. This cannot be avoided. But it doesn''t matter. Friend Shield! Jinhyuk brought one fanatic to the front. What, ph... ph what!? The fanatic shouted at the unknown words. And that became the will he left behind. Aww! A hammer that digs to the floor. The poor lamb has returned to the bosom of God. Meanwhile, Jinhyuk took out a flashlight from the desk drawer in the hallway. ''Fortunately, no one took it.'' but. Everyone must have been busy running away, but they wouldn''t have had time to check what''s in the drawer. Jinhyuk''s gaze turned to the back. That play! The breaker was trying to pull out the hammer that had been embedded in it. The fanatics were in a state of being completely mutilated. ''He killed all of his side.'' This is enough time to escape if you put your mind to it. However, Jinhyuk did not run away. Instead, I pressed the power of the flash light one after another. Click! Click! Should I be a little more energetic? Can you catch me with such a slow body? A bright light struck Breaker''s eyes. It''s like an outright provocation. The third floor of the psychiatric ward. This is the place where the key to exit the main entrance of the ward is kept. At the same time, it was also the place where the owner of this ward was located. What happened to the humans? A man with a lot of blue veins on his bloodless face opened his mouth. This is the owner of the ward and the leader of the fanatics. Then the man in the shadows answered. We''re catching them smoothly. There are still some running around, but it''s just a matter of time anyway. Are you sure? Of course. The headmaster does not have to worry. As long as mana is sealed, no matter how many players, there is no choice but to get stuck. Everything is as planned. The corner of the teacher''s lips twisted as if he was satisfied. "At first, when you Mine Association bastards came, they tried to put it in a furnace and burn it. From our point of view, both players and you were the same guys." However. The moment I heard your purpose, my determination changed. I never thought that there were people with such great intentions among humans. You''re overjoyed. We''re just doing what we ought to do. The man bowed his head. The teacher looked more satisfied with that look. God wants more sacrifices. Now, when the tower is opened and the ignorant come in, it is the promised time of His return. offering. Yes. Being locked up in a psychiatric ward. Brainwashing stupid humans and turning them into fanatics. All were to gather sacrifices to the gods. The teacher looked straight ahead. To be precise, the players who captivated me a while ago. Uhhhhhhhhhhhh... Sah, please save me. "My foot. I''ll do anything you ask me to. Please save my life !" These were the players who were in the same room as Jinhyuk. They escaped through the vent, but they were soon captured by the fanatics. Don''t be too afraid. Lowly servants. I will give you a choice. The headmaster stroked the Asian woman''s cheek with a cold hand. It was a cold hand that gave me goosebumps. Stand, is that a choice? If you convert and follow me, I will spare you from burning alive. chance to survive. Your eyes fluttered at the words that you could escape the most terrible death. However, you must kill others as proof of conversion. Only two of the four can live. Only those who give up their humanity and truly repent can gain a new life. The teacher dropped the black dagger on the floor. will be obliged Who will live and who will die. The four of them looked at the sword and each other as if frozen. But that was then. Kyo, I think you should take a look at this. One of the believers who was monitoring the ward CCTV urgently called the headmaster. Something? The teacher looked at the screen. Then an unbelievable sight appeared. What is this... What you can see on the screen is one player and the representative of God ''Breaker''. It is common to see players chasing players here. The problem is that the player is playing with God''s agent. Even though they can escape enough, they keep their distance so that they can continue to pursue them. Especially after narrowly dodging the attack and having the hammer hit a wall or floor. The act of turning the flash light on and off was enough to make the viewer shiver. Eyes that read light movements and trajectories. Even the freedom you can see in a situation where your life is at stake. Who could look at that and think that the ability was sealed? "How how could a human being do such a thing against a divine agent!" The teacher shouted and grabbed the monitor with both hands. Kaga. The nails left long scars on the screen. The man next to him also looked at the screen. Then, in a trembling voice, he uttered his name. "Go, Jinhyuk Kang? How did he get here?" Jinhyuk Kang? Do you know him? Yes. As an S-ranker in Korea... The man knew. "He is the most dangerous stumbling block in our plan." Even though unique abilities and skills are sealed, The fact that if you consider your opponent blissfully, you will pay a huge price. Boo woo woo! Again the hammer crossed the air. Hundreds of attacks had already been launched for close to 20 minutes, but Jinhyuk leisurely avoided all attacks. ''It''s been a while since I''ve done this, so it''s pretty fun.'' Putting on a pillar, spinning round and round to tease the opponent. Using terrain and features to limit the opponent''s movement. Even things that used to be quite boring have become fresher over time. And the most exhilarating thing about it is seeing your opponent explode as the drug rises. The pleasure of biting yourself with your fingernails and watching the road run wild was the driving force that made you enjoy this game. Of course, it was all a game that everyone enjoyed at one time. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo The breaker started running rampant on the road. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Now, whether or not he was injured, he used a hammer to knock down the entire ceiling and floor. Jinhyuk slightly adjusted the distance. It''s not like I''m running out of time to do this. Not just to get the pleasure of making fun of others. ''Slowly, we''re almost there.'' A god worshiped by the headmaster and fanatics on the 5th floor. If you push the breaker beyond a certain level, it''s because you can get that guy''s attention. right at that moment. [''Corrupting Heart'' is interested in your actions.] A red status window appeared in front of me. ''As expected.'' Jinhyuk smiled as if he was waiting. last name ''The rotting heart''. Like Elise, he is one of the absolutes that exist in the upper floors of the tower. He''s been called by various names, but... . People often called them ''Demon King''. trembling Braham''s ring trembled. Alice must have felt the mana flowing from the other person''s message too. But no need to worry. Whether the opponent is the Demon King or the Demon God. After all, it was just a divinity on the 40th floor of the tower. Above all, knowing everything about him, this situation had an overwhelming advantage. Hey. How did this shabby person come to such a precious place? Jinhyuk smiled brightly. [''Corrupting Heart'' proposes to you to become your sword.] [A second job change requirement has occurred.] [If you accept divinity''s offer, you will be able to change to ''Black Apostle''.] ''It''s coming out like this.'' 2nd job ''Black Apostle''. If Teresa is a paladin who receives a stellar Blessing. The Black Apostle is a dark energy company under the protection of the Demon King. Although they boasted different abilities, they had the disadvantage of having to live as a servant of the Demon King for the rest of their lives. ''The biggest problem is that if you refuse, you will be cursed by the Demon King.'' From the moment the curse is placed, an order of killing is issued from all Demon Clans. Naturally, the past [Even when playing the Tower of Trials, no player was cursed for refusing the Demon King''s offer.] Because nobody wants to suffer a penalty that they can''t afford. Now that it has become a reality, even if I say it, only my mouth will hurt. so that. I''m sorry, but I''ll decline. Why? Why can''t a tiger cub go under a Chihuahua? This time, Jinhyuk chose a path that others have not taken. CH 87 . Ritual of the Sacrifice (1) With the refreshing words that Jinhyuk spit out. [''Corrupting Heart'' is furious!] [You have been cursed by the Demon King!] [The curse lasts until you die.] kukuku bang! A huge shock was applied to the whole body. ''shit. It hurts terribly.'' Jinhyuk swallowed the scream. Naturally, there is no such thing as ''get used to'' in the process of engraving your heart. It means giving fresh pain every time you do it. Some perverts enjoy groaning through these pains, but that''s the story of those who betrayed the last human dignity. Isn''t it human nature to want to avoid physical pain if possible? But this time it can''t be helped. Even receiving this curse was a process for clearing this floor. [All stats drop by 90% for 3 minutes.] [If you fight forcibly, you will be exhausted, and in the worst case, you may faint or die.] [Time remaining: 0h:2m:59s] [Due to the strong intervention of the higher divinity, a Hidden Quest has occurred.] [Hidden Quest] Difficulty: A Content: Corrupted fanatics who take other people''s lives recklessly are ''wicked people''. Each time you kill 1 of them, your adaptive stat is increased by +0.1. However, if you kill the headmaster, the adaptive stat is increased by +30. Yes, that''s it. An error of probability that arises from the active intervention of divinity. Naturally, in order to resolve the contradiction, the system was supposed to reward the cursed player that much. So far this was what I expected. Everything was what I expected. Only one. The stats given as rewards are different from before. ''Surely, I''ll give you adaptive stats.'' An earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk''s pupil. I couldn''t help but be surprised. In the past, bonus stats were given by 0.1, but now the condition has been changed to adaptive stats. A stat that cannot be obtained in a normal way and is only given to the player who has seen the top of the tower. Jinhyuk''s heart began to beat uncontrollably at the fact that he could build on it over and over again. pounding! pounding! pounding! ''This must be obtained no matter what.'' Among the rewards, the most delicious yolk came out, but there is no such thing as failure. I''m sure I''ll have to make it a success. Jinhyuk burned his will with great effort. That was then. Throb! I felt excruciating pain. ''The aftermath of the curse is strong.'' He felt like he was about to lose consciousness at the pain he felt in his left chest. I have to get out of this place right now. You won''t be able to fight properly for at least three minutes. ''A hazy presence'' received from the kingdom Also, you won''t be able to use it during this time. I''m sorry, can''t we make it a draw? Jinhyuk looked up at the breaker with a sly smile on his face. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo thud! thud! thud! thud! The breaker came running with a hammer. After all, there is nothing cute about it. can''t do it Jinhyuk quickly turned around and started running. It was a dark and maze that would not be strange if a dead-end wall appeared at any time, but Jinhyuk never stopped or hesitated. ''Left here.'' ''And then to the right.'' At least, the geography of this ward is as clear as the front yard. It means that you are memorizing everything where you are even when you close your eyes. Through narrow gaps and round passages. The place we arrived at was the drug storage warehouse. ''I won''t be late.'' There were only a few seconds left before the breaker arrived. Jinhyuk quickly entered the warehouse and flew to the innermost cabinet. Chunkyung! I put my body in a gap that one person could fit in. [You have entered the special field ''Cabinet''.] [The stealth effect is activated.] In psychiatric wards, there are places where you can hide from hunters in certain places. Now hiding was one of them. You can''t hide completely, but with a little luck, you''ll be able to get away from your gaze. Whoop. Jinhyuk, who was hiding in the cabinet, stopped breathing. One body of water. All water! Remember! ''I am the cabinet and the cabinet is me!'' They brainwashed themselves and blended perfectly into the background around them. Even the ghosts will not find it. right then kuung! kuung! The breaker walked in front of the cabinet. Then he looked around and started looking for Jinhyuk. Don''t panic. ''Because I am already the cabinet itself.'' reason to be scared. There''s no reason to get caught. By the way. " " Breaker''s red eyes could be seen through the cracks in the cabinet. eyes met However, Jinhyuk tried to avoid his gaze. '' You must have seen it wrong.'' You must have seen it wrong. please. " " The red eyes drew closer. Now he could feel his breath and the smell of rotten mouth through the cracks. ''shit. It doesn''t work.'' Her face heated up in the gloomy situation, but now is not the time to feel shame. Boo woo woo! The breaker was about to swing the hammer loudly. right at that moment. Jinhyuk opened the cabinet door and went outside. The breaker stopped. A delay of less than 0.2 seconds for the hunter when a player enters or leaves the cabinet. Using that gap, Jinhyuk opened the cabinet lid and repeatedly went in and out. If you don''t get the timing right, you''ll be doomed to shatter to the bone. For Jin-hyeok, who is rotten water, this was easier than breathing. Aww! The breaker, who was furious as much as he was angry, screamed. [Breaker activates Lv11 ''Breaking Ball''!] KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! This time, a huge hammer smashed the entire cabinet. However, Jinhyuk''s movement was one beat faster. By the time the hammer completely crushed the cabinet, Jinhyuk had already opened the cabinet door and ran outside. Throb! Throb! The more I moved, the more my heart ached. I deliberately chose a place with a lot of obstacles, but I couldn''t avoid that formidable attack forever. If there was a riot like this, it''s time to come soon... . come a little quicker I''m going to die like this Jinhyuk grunted as he widened the distance. right then stand tall. Like a lie, the breaker stopped moving. Kneeling with both hands holding a hammer as if worshiping something. At the same time, a cold chill struck. Goosebumps rose up my spine. ''Are you finally here?'' I thought my neck was going to fall off while I waited. Jinhyuk looked back. OK. Indeed, he is a human being who is not lacking enough to be sacrificed. I could see the headmaster who had led a huge number of fanatics. Being a prisoner is not a very pleasant experience. Especially if it is destined to become a living sacrifice. Ooh, we''re all going to die. You shouldn''t have come to this damn place. You shouldn''t have! Because I''m blinded by the reward... I, I don''t want to die. I really didn''t know that I would die in vain. The players who had been captured screamed. Cursing their easy choices and rosy dreams. Even his unique abilities and skills were sealed, so he couldn''t even imagine the option of escaping. However. ''Ugh. There''s a lot of fungus. It''s not a bad place to stay. It would have been perfect if I could just bring some ramen through room service.'' Jinhyuk lay on the bed and stretched out. Thanks to being taken prisoner, all the health and mana weakened from the Demon King''s curse were restored. It sounds like I have completely recovered my condition. Moreover, thanks to the gnomes who dragged themselves deep into their strongholds, they didn''t have to break through annoying gates and traps. The quest to punish the wicked to get adaptive stats has also been made easier. What are you doing hard to find enemies? You''ll be able to gather them all in one place soon, right? If you add just a few ''seasonings'' prepared on the finished table, you will be able to make the headmaster fall over with foam. ''Originally, it''s the most exciting thing to put the heads of those who are proud of themselves.'' Thinking like that, I found this narrow, stinky prison to be lovely. right then Shut up! If you make a lot of noise, I''ll tie him to the mold first, arrogantly, and throw him away as food for the monsters! The guard made a threat to the iron cage where the players were. Wielding a bloody-looking torture device is a bonus. In an instant, the surroundings became as quiet as a dead mouse. It is natural. Because no one wants to spend their little time as torture. I made it quiet. You can speak comfortably now. The guard bowed his head. When the chaotic atmosphere was settled, two people approached Jinhyuk''s prison. One was a teacher with a cold expression. The other was a man in a black hood. This is the first time we''ve met in person. Jinhyuk Kang. Is that right? Interest is... ? Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. Although it was the first time he had seen his face, the distinctive mana he exuded was quite familiar. I can almost guess where he came from. ''I thought he was quiet these days, but he was from the Mine Association.'' Come to think of it, Melena, whom I met on the 3rd floor, said that the purpose of the Mine Association was to collect relics and resurrect the Demon King. On the 5th floor, the Cultist Master and Mine Association. As long as they share the goal of resurrecting the Demon King, they are bound to get along well. ''If it''s enough to make contact with the boss of the tower, it means he''s in a fairly high position within the association... .'' Jinhyuk stared at the man. A white male with a sharp impression. The black beard and blue eyes matched pretty well. ''I wonder if he has as much talent as his looks.'' The ''Eyes of Gluttony'' penetrated the target''s status window. By the way. T-tiring! [Failed to read status window.] [Lv14 ''Mental barrier'' is activated on the target.] A barrier that can block ''eyesight'' and ''sight'' as well as ''eyes''. ''That''s why I showed my face.'' From appearing confidently. to the free speech. He was so confident because he had a number prepared. However, it doesn''t matter. The ''white'' that Jinhyuk put in his pocket took the drug. When I applied force, the medicine crumbled like a cookie. [I used white medicine.] [Due to the effect of the potion, one of the stats can now be doubled.] [The duration is 10 minutes.] What will be uploaded is, of course, ''adaptive'' is the stat Originally, the white pill was prepared in case of a fight with the headmaster. Anyway, since Hidden Quest allows you to get additional adaptive stats, it is much more efficient to use it now. The opportunity to meet directly with the high-ranking officials of the Mine Association didn''t come very often. [Adaptive stats have been increased from 10 to 20.] [Lv4 ''Eye of Gluttony'' sees through the target.] also. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. I don''t know if it''s an Elise or Pendariel level with a huge level difference. Only players can''t stop this. Name: Hosenveld Gender: Male Age: 41 Level: 38 Strength 19 Dexterity 25 Stamina 18 mana 28 Intent 80 Stat Points you have: 0 Coins held: 30,855 Occupation: Knight of the Round Table Unique Ability: Guardian''s Realm skill: Lv14 ''Mental Barrier'', Lv10 ''Sword of Condemnation'', Lv10 ''Blessing of Britain'', Lv9 ''Knight''s Oath'' A status window appeared chururuk. Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva. ''Oh.'' this Much more tycoon appeared than expected. Because the job of being a Knight of the Round Table could only be held by the top executives of the Magic Association. In other words. The guy in front of me right now is one of the guys with the title of ''Knight''. CH 88 . Ritual of the Sacrifice (2) Knight of the Round Table. These are the knights in the legend of King Arthur, each with special abilities. It is the ability to reach the pinnacle of each field such as magic, swordsmanship, illusion, and tanking. ''Among the 2nd job change, I''m almost at the top.'' It is not for nothing that demons who are not affiliated with the government and guilds have a strong influence. It has the ability and strength to do so, so no one can touch it recklessly. ''One of those giants is this man... .'' Jinhyuk wet his lower lip with his tongue. Just by confirming this, it means that hundreds of times the value of using the white pill has been extracted. The ''guardian''s ability'' that can reach the pinnacle of one field is not necessary for the all-rounder Jin-hyuk, but ''mental barrier'' was a skill that I coveted quite a bit. ''If you put this on, it will become a driving force that can withstand divinity or Demon King in the future.'' However. After checking the copy conditions, Jinhyuk had to feel the shock as if he had been hit in the back of the head with a hammer. [Copy Conditions] 1. Find out the name of your opponent''s knight. 2. From now on, make conversations and actions with Hossenveld as if you had a second disease. If you meet these two conditions, you can copy one of your opponent''s unique abilities or skills. This time, an unusual condition emerged. Of course, as the target is the target, the extent to which the copy conditions increase can be understood. whatever it is However. damn it ''What kind of crazy guy is the guy who manages the tower system?'' no. Earnestly. At this point, I was doubtful that I had mistakenly set the conditions for copying what was supposed to be a penalty game by drinking six bottles of soju at a drinking party. Jinhyuk pressed his temple with his index finger. Why aren''t you saying anything? Hossenveld, who was watching the scene, asked. Ah. I''m sorry. The Black Flame Dragon on his left was running wild and trying to calm him down. Jinhyuk grabbed his left hand with his right hand. His right hand trembled slightly. As if to prevent the left hand from running wild. A moment of silence passed. It seemed as if all time in the world had stopped. How many seconds have passed? Is this the one you''re talking about? I can''t believe he''s an enemy to be concerned about. The teacher, who had a shocked expression on his face, opened his mouth. It was the same with Hossenveld that was embarrassing. ...that''s ridiculous. Are you talking nonsense like that even though your life is at stake? Even Braham''s ring he was wearing rocked up and down like crazy. Even Elise in the ring must have been smiling while holding her belly button. Yes. I know I''m not funny, so don''t bother reminding me. The three of us don''t do more joking around. I''m begging you. I''m afraid I''m out of my mind, so I''ll just say this once. Soon you will be offered as a living sacrifice. "Cook-Cook. It''s a sacrifice It reminds me of that time five years ago. It was the first day my madness was revealed to the world." Jinhyuk covered one face with his hand. It would have been perfect if she had only worn a black cloak and red circle lenses. damn it Doing this also makes me strangely immersed. " " Hosenveld stopped at Jinhyuk''s continued abnormal behavior. He felt a sense of incongruity at the appearance of the opponent so far from what he knew. no way . ''Have you prepared something?'' Black flame dragon or madness is actually a starting word or paving stone to activate a unique ability or skill? At least, considering Jinhyuk''s performance so far, it seemed more plausible. ''This is a person who should never be underestimated.'' Because the opponent was a player who made fun of the elite of the association. Hossenveld raised the sensations of his whole body to the extreme. However, there was no feeling of mana being activated. no doubt All of that is nonsense. ''shit .'' But why? The sticky feeling of anxiety seemed to have no intention of going away. ''Let''s not play.'' Hossenveld, who struggled to make up his mind, brought up the main topic. I know you are strong, but as long as your unique abilities and skills are sealed, you won''t be able to survive the ritual. Hmm. You''re already dead, did you come here to say something like this? No, I came here to make the process a little easier. Hossenveld took a clear glass bottle from his pocket. The liquid in the bottle was brittle. What is that? It''s a kind of anesthetic. It can give you relief from the terrible pains inflicted during rituals. The ritual of living sacrifices is notorious because the process is so horrendous. It''s only human nature to want to die comfortably, even if it''s just a little bit easier. I don''t think pain can break my will, but if you give it to me, I won''t hesitate. Jinhyuk stretched out his hand. OK. It''s not free. Hossenveld moved the vial slightly backwards. Information about Unknown. If you tell me, I''ll hand it over to you in return. It also comes out like this. the expected sea. I''m curious about Unknown, but I see. Because we have to trample down the possible sprouts. Well. Okay. I can tell you, I don''t need anesthetic, but instead I just ask a question. A question? At the unexpected words, Hossenveld''s pupils narrowed. It''s a face that he didn''t know he would want. We''re asking each other questions one by one. It''s fair, isn''t it? Jinhyuk shrugged. ...Okay. Tell me. Your name and rank within the Mine Association. Just tell me that. You''re asking useless things for the last question. Why do you want to know that? I had a lot of questions about the Magic Association. It''s because I can''t hold back questions like this. Oh! And. My magic eyes see through everything. Don''t even think about cheating. Jinhyuk deliberately gave strength to both eyes. ...don''t worry. I won''t cheat. Hossenveld nodded. And slowly introduced himself. My name is Hossenveld. I am in charge of one of the round tables. I have the knight name ''Lancelot''. Lancelot. A knight who protects the round table. That was the name of Hossenveld''s knight. ''great.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. This achieved one of two conditions. It was like achieving something else. Is this solved my question? Roughly. Then it''s my turn this time. Tell me about Unknown''s identity. That''s not difficult. I''ll only tell you once, so listen carefully. Unknown... Jinhyuk looked at his eyes and carefully opened his mouth. It''s a guy named Cheon Yu-seong. "If it''s a heavenly planet maybe?" That''s right. That guy that popped into your head. You guys even tried to get rid of it and failed, didn''t you? " " Hossenveld shut her mouth firmly. did that happen Now everything made sense. The reason Unknown is so strong. reason for being hostile to them. Above all, the fact that a player named Kang Jin-hyuk knew in detail about Unknown was also right. Since there is a constant contact between the two, they must have known each other well. Did you hear everything you want? The teacher, who was watching silently, asked. Yes. That''s enough. Hossenveld nodded. Goodbye. Jinhyuk Kang. I don''t think I''ll ever see you again. And finally, looking at Jinhyuk, he turned around without any regrets. right at that moment. T-tiring! [Condition met!] [Choose one of the abilities your opponent has.] A status window appears indicating that the copy condition has been achieved. ''You succeeded just in time.'' Jinhyuk had a satisfied smile. Despite the shameful experience, the desired purpose was achieved. I''ll copy the mental barrier. [You succeeded in copying the unique ability ''Spirit Barrier (S)''!] [The copied skill is saved in ''Memory of the World''.] [Mental Barrier] Acquisition Difficulty: S Description: As a skill that strengthens the mental system, it not only protects the security of the status window, but also protects the caster from various types of mental attacks.] Mental defense ability equivalent to S-class. Considering the future, the ''mental barrier'' will surely be of great help. right then Put the sacrifices out. The ceremony will be held soon. The guard gave orders to the guards. Oh, no! Help me. Please! I don''t want to die here. I don''t want to die! The trapped players screamed. But, it''s no use. I should not expect any sympathy or compassion in front of the fanatics. ''It''s time to go soon.'' Finally, the time has come to move to the final stage that will decorate the finale of this mental ward. Jinhyuk looked around the cell. ''found.'' Compared to the other bricks, the brick was dark gray in color. Tap the brick seven times, one second apart. Cuckoo! Strangely, a small space appeared on one side of the wall. It was the gap that led to the sewer. Jinhyuk carefully took out another potion he had hidden and pushed it into the sewer. The red potion rolled over and over. and after a while. fondant! A pleasant sound rang out. sacrifice room. The huge space reminiscent of the Colosseum was filled with fanatics to watch the ceremony. Aww! Koooh! The ''Breaker'', called the representative of the gods, slaughtered the sacrifices. Each time the ax and the sword flashed, the players'' bodies were cut in half. Kill it! Glory to God! Ooooh! More! More! More! More offerings! The overflowing blood made the sand red. Nevertheless, the madness of the fanatics did not subside easily. They want more blood. Even for a moment to forget this crazy world. Rumble! And the faces of the players who looked at the living hell in the waiting room were so pale that they could not get tired of it. Huuuwook! Wow! It is relatively yangban to cry or vomit. In severe cases, some even passed out or peeed. Because after a while, they too had to go inside. ''It would be impossible to fight a proxy with these guys.'' Jinhyuk clicked his tongue at the players who had completely lost their will. Those who curled up their tails before even trying to properly attach them will be a burden. But I couldn''t blame them. Rather, the most trash here right now are fanatics playing pranks with the lives of the players. A cold life lingered in Jinhyuk''s eyes. ''really I can handle it without any hesitation.'' Hidden Quest by killing the wicked and getting stats. I wondered if there would be any reluctance to take someone''s life. It was a completely useless worry. Then, the stage was set up and all the main actors were in attendance... . ''Shall we start soon?'' Jinhyuk pulled out a book he had exquisitely hidden in his arms. Grimoire of the Macedrian. I picked this book out of the many Grimoires in the Magic Library for just one reason. ???????????????? The bookshelf has passed. Numerous typefaces written in runes were unfolding before our eyes. An Ancient Dragon who struggled all his life to find loopholes in the laws of the world. This book contains the life of the Dragon. [You have read Black Dragon, Grimoire of the Macedrian.] At the same time. [Sealed unique abilities are released.] [The sealed skills are released.] [Timeout: 0h:9m:59s] The shackles that restrained his power were released. CH 89 . Ritual of the Sacrifice (3) mana that spreads along the whole body. My heart was beating rapidly at the pleasant uplifting feeling. ''Yes, this is the taste.'' Do you feel like you want to run wild right now? I don''t know how I''ve endured something so good for the past few hours. Jinhyuk clenched and opened his fists with satisfaction. ''great.'' It is perfect. Now that all abilities have been resurrected, there is nothing to fear. right then Now it''s your turn. Please, I hope you die splendidly. The guard chuckled at the players. At the same time. kukuku bang! The door that shared life and death was opened. it''s thick The smell of blood mixed with the sand pierced the tip of his nose. A total of seven Breakers looked at the new offerings. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Oooh! Excited while holding a huge weapon. The body that had been painted red was still burning with heat. Kurre... And in the middle of it was a large demon with a lot of black thorns on its back. It is a monster that boasts an out-of-standard size that is different from the Breaker. ''A predator.'' A tower scavenger who devours huge amounts of prey. The man''s mouth dripping with saliva still had leftover human dregs. "Everyone, you have to run away now." Damn it. Where are you going to run? We''re all poisoned rats! Ugh. Uh, Mom... There''s nowhere to run. No matter how much I ran, I was surrounded by walls that were over 10m in all directions. Everyone took a step back in order to live a little longer. That moment when only despair drifts. jerk. Someone stepped forward. It was Jinhyuk. What? What''s that idiot? Fuhaha! It seems that he was excited because he wanted to die first. Cloop! Well, it might be better to go to God first than to tremble in fear from behind. Fanatics in the audience chanted ridicule. that would be ridiculous Barely without a weapon, and that too defenselessly narrowed the distance. By the way. Ugh!? how ? Although Jinhyeok approached the breaker''s nose, the breaker did not attack Jinhyeok. No, he didn''t even give me a glance as if he didn''t even notice the existence itself. ''After all, it''s a useful skill.'' Jinhyuk slowly moved to the middle of the beasts. ''A hazy body odor'' that can be used three times a day. If used once, it could disturb the spirit of the opponent. If you use three times at the same time, you could make your presence completely zero. ''Usually once, you''ll be content to get three lives.'' But in the case of the deceased, it is different. Take one chance... We will find a way to overturn the match itself. just like right now. Jinhyuk, who had arrived at the center, knocked on the ground with his foot. thud! thud! Two footsteps rang out. OK. [The red potion ''Flame'' is activated!] KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A huge stream of fire rose from the ground. ''Because fireworks are my taste.'' It is a single drug that is activated by accurately calculating the location of the sewer and the speed of water flow. There is no such thing as a mistake. I''ve done it dozens of times already. Aww! Keeek! Breakers engulfed in flames screamed. No matter how immortal, it burns alive, of course, in pain. Why are you being so strict? Don''t you guys like to burn? Gee, calm down! Agents of the gods. The warden tried to put out the embers on the body of the Breakers somehow. However, it was a mistake to approach with a water jar. It was because the breaker''s sharpened eyes couldn''t see anything right now. Cross the hammer crosswise. kwaaang! Koowoak! The head was shattered like a watermelon in one blow. It''s a natural result of doing something stupid. By the way. [Involved in the death of the wicked.] [You have acquired 0.1 points of adaptive stats.] [Current adaptive stats: 10.1] An unexpected status window appeared. ho? Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. ''Are you saying I can get stats even if I don''t kill myself?'' Just by activating the red pill and indirectly participating in death would satisfy the condition. This is quite interesting. Jinhyuk nodded slightly. On the other hand, the fanatics who saw the unbelievable sight had a big flag. What, what? That flame! Sorry... did you use skill? Nonsense! God controls everything here. God''s Law and God''s Law are the only rules that sustain this layer! As long as unique abilities and skills are sealed, no one can use evil abilities. Clearly, he must have cheated on something. However, the upheaval did not end there. Because the really surprising thing started from now. I''m sorry, but I only have 10 minutes, so I''ll finish it soon. To be precise, there are about eight minutes left. Jinhyuk took out his twin dragon swords. When the ''Tomb of the Sword'' was activated, a black energy fluttered on the sword. A black crescent moon fell. Cruer? Realizing something unusual, the predator set up a bunch of thorns. right at that moment. Scratch! Without any rhetoric, a sword strike just to kill the enemy traversed the space. One sword. The body of the predator, which was like a mountain, collapsed with just one knife move. There wasn''t even that common scream. Instead, there was only blood gushing out like a fountain. The running away is now over. No matter how powerful you are here, that''s only when your abilities are sealed. Originally, they had only the first-floor named level. It means that if you fight properly, you won''t be an opponent. When all the beasts he believed in became incapable of combat, the air changed rapidly. Hey! Hey, it''s a monster! "What kind of person !" Relaxation and madness turned into fear. Those who watched death from above had to flee to escape from death. Of course, it wasn''t Jinhyuk who was just watching it. It''s ridiculous. Was your life so precious? Jinhyuk smiled coldly and took out the last medicine. [I used the black potion ''Am ()''.] [A ''black wall'' spreads 200m around the caster!] A black curtain that completely covered the entire stadium. A place to praise God. All of a sudden, they turned into limbs that might become their graves. ''Hmm .'' Jinhyuk wrinkled his brow as he stood in place. Now all that''s left is to complete the Hidden Quest. But there was only one thing on my mind. It''s not just about being reluctant to kill. Even if you are a good person. Because I didn''t think of the people who giggled at the death of others. only. If so many people were to scatter and hide, it would take too long to find them. ''I''ll have to use a more effective method.'' It was already confirmed by the chief of the guard that he didn''t have to kill himself. Just getting involved will be enough. if so . Hey. Jinhyuk called the players crouching on the outside wall of the stadium. ...Yes. Yes? Hey, are you talking about us? Why is everyone doing this? Aren''t you going home? The beast had already died or became incapable of combat. This means you don''t have to worry about getting eaten anymore. Gee, can I go home? Really? Of course. Everyone, wake up. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. OK. Wow! Sal, lived! Lived! A huge cheer rang out. All the emotions that had accumulated over the years exploded in an instant. However. I like it a little bit. There''s still a mountain too big to put your mind to. But can I leave like this? As long as the fanatics remain on the 5th floor, we may meet again sometime, somewhere? At Jinhyuk''s words, the heated air quickly cooled. Oh! Well, that''s... The reality I wanted to forget has arrived. Everyone''s faces hardened at the thought of meeting these terrible people again. Then what should we do? what to do "You have to get rid of the repercussions." Jinhyuk tore something out of the body of the beast. Ududuk ! It was one of the bumps on the back. A sharply shining blade. This would be enough to be used as a weapon. Up there, there are those who locked you up here. Jinhyuk pointed his finger at the audience. There were fanatics who believed only in the beasts and were arrogant. "Before you get caught in a place like this again, give me back what you suffered." either kill either die If you only have one of the two options... . Of course, there is only one choice. Aww! I... kill all those bastards! I can''t be locked up in this damn place again! It makes a very beehive! It was then that the frightened live animals turned into wild beasts. Both of you ran out into the stands with weapons in your hands. Come on, wait! stop! A few guards tried to stop it, but the difference in numbers was too much. Players who go up to the spectator stand ignoring them. Besides, there are weapons, so things will be cleared up soon. wipe them all away no one for me! Wow! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! The basement was soon filled with desperate screams. As if he wanted to be compensated for the time he lived like a Parisian life. Vengeance was cruel. But why? Even in the blood-stained scene... . I didn''t feel any sympathy. Rather, it was refreshing. Because they reap what they sow. Most of all, it excites the heart. [Involved in the death of the wicked.] [You have acquired 0.1 points of adaptive stats.] [Currently held points: 32.9] [On the death of the wicked .] The point is that even if you stand still, you will accumulate points. I have already collected 33 points. It was so nice to have faithful workers. Jinhyuk, who smiled with satisfaction, raised his head. ''I have to move slowly before people go to the headmaster.'' It was in a deeper place compared to other places where the teacher was, but that was just a matter of time. We''ll have to deal with our most important goal before it''s too late. Jinhyuk looked at the fanatics on one side. These are not fanatics who follow the sect in the first place. He tried to conquer the tower, but rather was taken prisoner. In the end, there were players who killed their colleagues who were with them to save their lives. Among them, there were also people in the same room as Jinhyuk. He wanted to run away from the vent, but he didn''t seem to be able to escape very far. ''I can''t see black women and Asian women.'' Only white men and women remain. It was obvious what happened to the other two. It''s disgusting. Jinhyuk let out a short sigh. then startled Those who made eye contact trembled. We... we''re only guilty of doing what they told us to do! Yeah, yes! So there''s no choice... Some groaned. Damn! Do you know what they liked about us? If we didn''t kill them, we would die! It was an extreme situation! I mean, don''t say that it''s someone else''s business! I just did what I was told. They said there was no other way. cried out harshly. Of course, he could have killed himself because he wanted to. Or maybe he was forcibly murdered. I understand what the situation was. It would not have been completely wrong to say that it was an unavoidable situation. Can it be forgiven for killing someone for your own survival in an emergency? well. I don''t know morally, but legally, it might be considered normal. However, at least here, there is no point in arguing such a frivolity. Because everyone''s standards are different. Above all, now was not the moral time. But, it''s not me who decides whether to save you or not. with a voice that is unmistakable. Whoops! There was a hole in the heart of the player in front. "Big billions?" [You have killed the wicked.] [You have acquired 0.1 points of adaptive stats.] [Currently possessed adaptive stats: 33] system defined. These guys are also evil. That''s enough. I have no personal feelings. This is sincere. Pants! The twin dragon swords began to burn fiercely once again. CH 90 . path of choice (1) Jinhyuk, who dealt with the players in an instant, retrieved the twin dragon swords. ''The rest of the fanatics will take care of it.'' As long as the breaker is gone, there is nothing the fanatics can do. At best, it will only be enough to fight back with a toothed blade. Now all that''s left is to deal with the teacher. ''Then, I think I need only one person to guide the way.'' You can visit it by yourself, but there was a fear of delay because there were more than ten hiding places for the headmaster. ''I don''t like that.'' The answer is to get out of this bloody place as soon as possible. Jinhyuk moderately looked around. Oh! Finally, there is one that catches my eye. That guy. Contemplation is the guide to heavenly life. Not like a fanatic, he seemed less (?) crazy. He was a hard-to-find talent here. ''Okay, I decided on you.'' Jinhyuk quickly flew away and subdued the opponent in an instant. Since he was so preoccupied with escaping, he rested more than he expected. Sin, I''m sorry! Please save me. Please save me. I don''t want to die... A girl with short hair screamed. ''This is true.'' I just lightly pressed my shoulder, Anyone who hears it would think that even one arm was cut off. Calm down. If you stay calm, I won''t kill you. I, really? If I was going to kill you, I wouldn''t even have such a troublesome conversation. Words spoken without emotion. However, for the girl, these words have a stronger persuasive power than conciliation or threats than anything else. Considering the skills Jinhyuk has shown so far, there was no reason to explain it in words. Instead, if you lie or give a crappy Excellent grade, that''s it. A guide only needs to guide you well. That''s all. Yes. I see. The girl nodded her head. Do you know where the principal is now? Yes. At least it''s proven useful. There were so many hiding places for the headmaster, there was a fear of wasting time. name is? Andria. Please call me Andria. Okay. Andria. Guide me to the headmaster''s place. Then I will guarantee your life. Oh. Answer carefully. [Lv4 ''Stigma of Souls'' is activated.] Because I don''t like promises that are just words. Whoops! Red flames flashed from Jinhyuk''s fingertips. Andria shook her head. But it was only for a short time. I promise. With this, a temporary contract was signed. An unfair contract that will burn your whole body alive if you betray. Jinhyuk followed Andria''s guidance and crossed the dark passage. ''You''re going to the twelfth stone chamber.'' I thought it might take time or lead me to a strange place, but it seems to be wrong. Probably, without Andria, he would have tried to choose between the 7th or 12th chambers, which are the most secure. at that time. I suddenly had a thought. I wondered why such a cowardly girl had to join the fanatics. Do you also believe in that god or something? Demon King who wants blood and sacrifices. And the cultists on the 5th floor exist to resurrect him. Without faith that overcomes the blindness, we will never be together. But the answer I got was different from what I expected. No. I don''t think there is such a thing as a God in the world. If there is a God, I can''t leave a hell full of despair like this. Then, why are you following the headmaster? It wasn''t my choice. I was sold. Is it sold? Yeah, you''re abandoned. From the family you need to trust the most. Andria muttered with dead eyes. ''That''s why you were here.'' The places scattered on the 5th floor, such as mines, gladiators, and mental wards, all had poor conditions. Of course, it is not uncommon to throw away your family for a few pennies. Jinhyeok bit his taste buds. ''Now that I see, I have a very sad story.'' the system said. If you kill the wicked, I will give you 0.1 adaptive stats. If so, would the bystander sold out of intention also belong to the wicked? There is only one way to know the answer to that. However . Jinhyuk stopped thinking about finding the answer. Things like this won''t help much, but I''m just like you. As soon as I was born, I was abandoned in an orphanage and grew up alone. in loneliness and despair. I had to learn reality at an early age. "But if you blame your parents, blame the world, and blame yourself, nothing will change." Instead, I tried to do what I could with that time. As a BJ, I wasn''t very talented. At least they didn''t force viewers to support them because of poverty. It was enough to only receive as much as I put in my efforts and what the viewers wanted. Of course, your situation is much more gloomy than mine. It''s me, if you say something wrong, you''re not sacrificed. Know. That the two are never the same. so. I''ll kill the headmaster and bring down the sect. No one will ever try to kill you again. So, stop making your face look like you''re dead. Because I''m trying to get depressed. " " An earthquake struck Andria''s pupil. It''s like he didn''t even know he was going to say this. What are you looking at like that? No. Thank you so much for saying that. But, sir... No, you are stronger than you think. He uses strange powers. I know. Yes? The power the teacher has. How to defeat it. I know everything. Jinhyuk smirked. It''s a very light laugh, far from being serious. But why? pounding! pounding! pounding! Andria''s heart began to beat strangely. As if a small light could be seen on the dark road that I had walked my whole life. A small spark broke out in the heart of the girl who had struggled in despair. There was no conversation between the two after that. Employers and Assistants. He was devoted to those two roles. How many minutes did it take? The place we arrived at was a place where the black iron gate was firmly closed. It''s here. Andria cautiously opened her mouth. Yeah, it was hard. Jinhyuk nodded and looked at the door blocking the entrance. The surface of the iron gate was full of runes drawn in blood. ''It''s a recipe for maintaining the barrier of the virtual image spread inside.'' If you want to come in, you can come in, right? ''It''s fun.'' Jinhyuk immediately reached out to the door. Then at that very moment. kukuku bang! A thick iron gate opened. [You have entered the ''Path of Choice''.] [There are two contestants.] A room full of tons of rusty keys. This is the first gateway to the pathway of choice. Wow, here... Andria looked around. it must be frustrating All of a sudden, all the scenery I saw changed. Don''t worry, be still. Jinhyuk reassured Andria. That was then. Cheeky! A doll in a white mask appeared on the screen with noise. It is quite impressive to draw a pattern on both cheeks with red lipstick. It seems like the next line of dialogue will be ''I want to play game''? [Good luck here. It''s a living product. I am called Valsetter serving the headmaster. Often referred to as a ''moderator''.] Huh? Your feet smell like terror? [Profit! It''s not foot odor, it''s valceter! Valsetter!] Somehow, the more I say it, the more misleading it seems. It''s hard to remember the name. I''ll just call it the smell of feet. Jinhyuk scratched his head as if it was bothering him. [Ugh. Dare to make me regret what made me angry. Do you know why this place is called ''Pathway of Choice''? This is because you can only go to the next level only by making a choice between life and death! But because of your cocky behavior, I will only say the least. I''m sure I''ll make you bury the bones here!] Uh-huh. Jinhyuk let out a long yawn. No, seriously. Why is it that these bastards say strange nonsense when they don''t even ask? If you come to an unfamiliar place, you may be expecting them to listen to small information while babbling like newbies. But that was a far cry from Jinhyuk. [done. it''s done! Now let''s start the game. The key is hidden in this room. The time limit is only 5 minutes. If you don''t find the key to open the door inside, you''ll be crushed by the walls coming from all directions!] with the stench of foot odor. kukuku kuk! Suddenly, the walls all around began to move. At the same time, a timer on the screen indicating the time limit was activated. Walls that are narrowing without hesitation. If you can''t find the key, you''ll end up with a pretty gruesome death, as he said. However, finding the real key in the pile of keys seemed no different than finding a needle in the desert. [Fu ha ha! Get down now and beg If so, I can give you a hint on how to choose the real key.] The smell of feet blew up madness. By the way. Here you go. Jinhyuk picked one from among the piles of keys. [Don''t laugh. I''d pick anything... .] Chunkyung! The door opened. [Uh, how ?] The smell of swollen feet as if their eyes were about to explode grabbed hold of the screen. Hey, get your face off the cam. If you look closely, it''s bloody once in a while. "I just took a picture." [What, what!? Did you shoot out of these many? Did you mean to believe it?] Don''t hate to believe it. While bewildered by the unbelievable smell of feet, Jinhyuk and Andria entered the second gate. This time it was a room full of clear glass syringes. right then Push! White smoke came out of the vent on the wall. Smoke soon filled the room. [Fufu. Your Demon God performance is so poisonous that your blood vessels melt over time.] The smell of feet that had regained his composure soon opened his mouth. Do, poison? Andria''s face turned white. You say yes. On the other hand, Jinhyuk greeted him with a gloomy face. [There are various medicines in the syringe. One of them will give you a second chance to live, but the other syringes contain strong acid poison. life or death It is up to you to choose.] Thirty syringes lying on the table. Only one of these is an antidote that can detoxify. The rest are poisons that instantly die in a horrendous mourning. [If I could give you a hint... .] I do not need. Without hesitation, Jinhyuk picked up a syringe and put it in his arm. keep going! The liquid entered the body. [Hey bastard. Choose after listening to some hints!] In the end, the unbearable smell of feet spit out swear words. CH 91 path of choice (2) You, too, inject what''s left. Our Demon God is a gaseous poison, so without an antidote, we die. Jinhyeok handed Andri a syringe that was half full of liquid. Yes? Yes. Yes. Andria received the syringe with her rabbit eyes open. And carefully injected into his arm. ''Hey, this can''t be... .'' It really is. Until a while ago, the blood vessels started to itch little by little, but as soon as the medicine was injected, everything disappeared as if washed. Andria looked at Jinhyuk with a keen eye. '' What the hell is he doing?'' At first, it was just terrifying. Because he killed the agents of the gods with overwhelming power and even wiped out his followers. However, as we talked, the fear gradually disappeared. Now, I''m rather curious. Such a curiosity to want to know a little more about the other person. Furthermore. ''It''s not just about being strong.'' Andria had also heard rumors about the channel of choice. None of those who entered this place came out alive. I''m just going to die while wandering through so many choices. However, this man broke through the gates in an instant, as if laughing at all of them. It was so fast that I didn''t even know how I got here. A force of different ranks and an unshakable freedom in any situation. Last but not least, the ability to create results from the information you know. It was hard to believe even looking at it all. Andria''s pupils trembled slightly. ''If this person... .'' Maybe he could really kill the headmaster and put an end to his hellish life. What are you doing? Are you going? Yes Yes! Andria nodded quickly. kukukung! Immediately the third gate opened. This room was quite simple compared to the previous ones. A chair in the center and a black lever installed in front of it. Finally, a pipe was seen extending towards the lever. [Whoa. The third gateway is .] The smell of feet opened his mouth heavily. There was no strength in his voice as his motivation had dropped considerably. cheer up. [what?] You''re the best smeller on the 5th floor... No, you''re the manager. Don''t be depressed and do your best to explain. This time, I''ll pick you up after hearing hints. Even the monsters in the tower are concerned. Isn''t this the direction the deceased should really pursue? Jinhyuk nodded his head as if he was proud of himself. Of course, from the smell of his feet to see it, it felt like all the billions were falling apart. [good. The third gateway is ''self-sacrifice''. As you can see, one person sitting on the chair has to pull the lever to open the door to the next gate.] You just have to sit down and pull the lever, right? Andria fell in love with the simple conditions than expected. [Before I rush to like you, remember one thing. The moment you pull the lever, flames will rise from the pipe right in front of you. The hand that pulls the lever is supposed to burn slowly.] Due to the trait of the restraint ball on the chair, there is no way to avoid fire. A door that opens only when you burn yourself. It was a gateway that suited the theme of ''self-sacrifice''. It can''t be... Andrea stuttered. It''s because I instinctively realized that I couldn''t get out of this easily. right then match! match! match! Hey. Self-sacrifice! Cool words. So what''s the hint? Jinhyuk clapped his hands and trembled. [Hint... You don''t necessarily have to sacrifice yourself. If it were you, would you have noticed what I meant?] So. If you don''t want to get hurt, you can force someone else to sit there and pull the lever, right? [That''s it.] Although it was said to be self-sacrifice on the surface, it is a structure in which you can escape without a single wound if you can force another person to sit. startled Andria''s body trembled thinly. If one of them had to sacrifice, it was too obvious who the target would be. However, this time Jinhyuk sat down on the chair without hesitation. I put on the restraint gear and put my hand on the lever. [What? Were you willing to sacrifice yourself? I didn''t see it that way, it''s surprising.] Yes? What sacrifice all of a sudden? I''m sorry, but Grimoire still has about 3 minutes to activate. In other words. It sounds like you can use ''skill''. [Lv8 ''Glacier Formation'' is activated!] The cold air from Jinhyuk''s fingertips froze the entire pipe. Chunkyung! Let''s pull the lever straight away. Kukuku! The door began to open with a violent vibration. Naturally, there was no fire that should have been burned out. [ ] .] The smell of feet, lost for words, solidified beyond the screen. If someone you don''t know sees this, you might mistake it for a still image, right? Sin, I''m sorry. Andria nodded towards the smell of her feet. And moved towards the next gate with a gunshot. Jinhyuk also clicked his tongue with a sad expression. You should have dealt with it while covering up your opponent a bit. ''Are you sure you''ll meet me even if you meet?'' Still, don''t be too frustrated or self-deprecating. Just as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, it was foreordained that such an outcome would come. There are a total of seven traps in the path of choice. However, the fourth and fifth gates were also breached. that''s so stupid Isn''t there anything novel about this other than this? My heart is pounding and my back is sweating. I wish there was such a thing? Jinhyuk did not hide his boredom. It''s good to clear quickly, but what? Should I say I want to enjoy a little more stimulation? The DNA of the deceased, which was drenched, has demanded Hell difficulty. ''This is a bad habit that needs to be fixed, but... .'' What can I do? That''s the instinct I''ve been building for 11 years. [More novel than now... what do you mean? that, that... .] Why. No way? It''s strange. The passage designed by the 5th floor couldn''t be this easy. Jinhyuk tilted his head. Then, as he remembered something, he clapped his hands. Ah! Have you ever deliberately placed only easy ones in front to distract us? [Yeah, yes. The sixth gateway is the masterpiece of the conversion of I, Valsetter.] The smell of feet exclaimed urgently. And three seconds later, even the sixth gate was opened. The shortest record so far. " " " " [ ] .] An awkward silence lingered. But it was only for a short time. [Shake. I don''t.] The smell of feet turned off the screen with profanity. This is so... . Jinhyeok scratched his head as if hesitantly. ''In the end, the manager escaped.'' Even if you look at the Tower of Trials, there will be no such thing. So I was looking forward to it. ''If this video goes up, how many views will it record?'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. I don''t know, but for the time being, the ''Hall of Fame'' The owner of the top level seemed to have been decided. right then The imaginary barrier that built the ''path of choice'' began to crumble. kukukuku! Finally, this game is about to start. [You have entered the teacher''s hideout.] The landscape has completely changed. A stone chamber full of bizarre fragments and symbols carved in blood. In the center, the figure of the headmaster doing something with the corpse was seen. Hey. I thought you became a teacher to give a sermon. Were you practicing anatomy? Did you know that this was a science student? Seeing that I was accepted into medical school, it seems that I studied hard when I was a student. In a way, it might be the same with Cheon Yoosung. "I can''t that Valsetter was breached?" Don''t say anything to that friend too much. He seems like a timid friend than I thought. Jinhyuk shrugged. Indeed, what he said was true. That''s what he meant when he said you should never be vigilant. The teacher made a face that was quite surprised. yea that''s the way it is Jin-hyeok, who was talking nonsense in prison, didn''t even feel worthy of being considered an enemy. Therefore, he had no doubts that he would be torn to pieces by the agents of the gods. However. That expectation was completely wrong. By the way, Lancelot, no, I can''t see Hossenveld. "If it''s that person, he left a while ago." left... . It kind of seemed like it. Anyway, one glance is quick. You''re quick-witted? What does that mean? "I would have known that I would die if I stayed here, so I noticed that and ran away first. Well, that''s the story." Khahaha! That''s fun. Excessive self-awareness is the level of art. The teacher blew up a madness. Then, in an instant, the smile disappeared. I don''t know what you did, but you broke the rules of the tower and used your unique abilities and skills. To be honest, I was surprised. I didn''t know that there could be a human who could defy absolute order. I''m pretty good at it. To be precise, it''s not quite as good as it gets, but it''s eye-opening. It was said that hiding 30% of one''s skills was a virtue, so I thought I would only do this with gold paint on my face. I can''t wait to see how far that confidence will last. And how desperately you might scream after a while. The headmaster reached out to the table next to him. A black jar was placed on the table. Are you going to use a holy relic? ...! At Jinhyuk''s words, the teacher''s hand stopped standing tall. This time, it was clear that he was genuinely embarrassed. Castle do you know about water? Roughly. I''ve made a collection by collecting all of the relics in the past, so I''d be lying if I said I didn''t know. However, I admit that it is difficult to collect them all. Some of them were really hard to get enough to cause hair loss. ...that''s a really amazing guy. A tone mixed with surprise and astonishment. Of course, that sentiment did not last long. Because in the words that followed, there was a serious life mixed in. But, if you know about relics, you must also know the power of relics. The cursed relic to resurrect the Demon King had a huge mana in itself. In particular, the ''pot that eats filth'' in front of you is a sacred relic with a grade of ''blue'' among the seven colors. "I think the cooldown was really long. Are you going to use it to catch me?" I don''t think I''ll ever meet someone more annoying than you in the future. Rather than stingy, I''ll definitely use it when I can. uhm. That''s hard to deny. This guy is also surprisingly sharp. right at that moment. [The holy relic ''Filth-Eating Jar'' is activated!] An indescribable curse erupted from the depths of the jar. A black wave that burns even the air. The energy that overflowed like a wave rushed toward Jinhyuk in an instant. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The ability to literally kill with an absolute judgment in an instant erection! Jinhyuk quickly tried to spread the distance, but it wasn''t the kind that could be avoided in the first place. like that. Honey! The waves passed through Jinhyuk''s chest. crying Black blood flowed from his mouth. It''s a terrible pain. Enough to make me lose my mind in an instant. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Gagging. Because of the puncture of his lungs, his voice could not come out properly. no! Andria let out a sharp scream. And. Die for that arrogance. Human. The headmaster also had a fishy smile on his face. Because a human with a hole in his body had no choice but to die. end with that. Jinhyuk''s consciousness was cut off. At the same time, the body collapsed. [Due to the death of the caster, the ''Demon King''s Curse'' from the ''Corrupting Heart'' disappears.] A message displayed because the caster died. And. Unique abilities triggered by the death of the caster crossed. [The caster is dead.] [The condition has been met.] [The unique ability ''Star Blessing'' is activated!] Beyond the blocked ceiling, from the night sky you can never see on the 5th floor. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The light that contained the energy of the stars poured out. At the same time. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart stopped beating again. CH 92 . pot of filth Hey, what the hell is this... The teacher staggered and stepped back. I''m dead... but I''m alive. I''m dead. I''m sure I''m dead. Andrea was equally perplexed. On the other hand. Jinhyuk calmly caressed his shoulders and waist. Ugh. I crossed the Jordan River half way and my back hurts. I could see the flower garden and the beautiful beauties sang a song to come over, so I almost followed him. It''s a shame because the song was from the Greek era, but if it was a trot, I would have followed it with excitement. ''The curse of the Demon King is gone with this.'' Jinhyuk nodded his head with a satisfied face. From meeting the Demon King for the first time and receiving the Hidden Quest. From wasting the relics of the priest and at the same time using ''Blessing of the Stars'' to lift the curse from the Demon King. Everything was as planned. ''Grimoire''s cast time is just right.'' You can no longer use a unique ability or skill. But, it doesn''t matter. The reason he lost his power was also because the Principal who used the Holy Relic was the same. ''It''s like a complete scarecrow.'' The owner of the gladiator was adept at various weapons. The owner of the mine was incredibly strong with just one strength. On the other hand, the priest uses powerful magic using holy relics, but Since the holy relics were empty by pouring out all the mana, his body''s strength was not of much concern. Your man! What the hell are you? How...! The teacher was unable to continue the next word. Why? Is this the first time you''ve seen him die and come back to life? Of course not! What kind of teacher can''t even be resurrected? Would you guys rather trust me than that? It''s called ''Goinmul Bridge''. If you believe it, you''ll get a little crazy, but you can survive for a long time. Besides, he sometimes respawns and lasers come out of his eyes. how is it? Are you interested? Don''t talk bullshit! The teacher cursed. Then he picked up the ignorant looking surgical knife lying on the table. This would mean refusal. "You will regret it." Jinhyuk smiled and lowered his posture. Sreung! Suddenly, a red dagger was held in his right hand. Kaaaah! Crossed surgical knife and dagger. Jinhyeok, who deflected the attack aimed at the heart, immediately aimed at the opponent''s thigh. Whoops! is on target The dagger dug quite deeply. Aww! The teacher screamed in pain. So you said you''ll regret it From the moment the person holding the weight from the back came to the forefront, the victory or defeat of this fight was decided. no. Just one thing. The teacher has a way to turn this situation around. sure. ''Even that is what I want.'' Jinhyuk looked at the gyoju and the jar alternately. Isn''t it time to throw a gamble? If you go like this, you will die. You know better than anyone, right? Jinhyeok continued to provoke the opponent, pushing him into a corner little by little. Now you have to choose. Or will I die like this... . Damn it. In the end, the teacher made a decision. [The 5th floor teacher activates Lv10 ''Sacrifice''!] Something in the shape of a human hand protruded from the teacher''s heart. An eerie appearance made of smoke. If mana is not enough... if you replenish it, that''s all! Yes. How to replenish mana in relics by sacrificing your own followers. This was the last Hidden card the teacher had. Lovely liquid! The hand flew away at high speed. And for Andria, who had never even fought a battle, of course it had to be difficult to react. Oh ? Andria looked down at her chest with trembling eyes. pounding! pounding! pounding! I see a hand holding my heart. The smoke grew thicker. Give up your mana. You humble servant! No matter how small a mana is, it will act as a big variable in a situation where the mana runs out. However. Petria de Ame... The moment the runes to absorb mana came out of the mouth. Peteria de Amerios. Theo Fa Vericio. Another familiar voice intervened. It was Jinhyuk. ...!? The teacher quickly turned his head. I was so shocked that I almost bit my tongue, but it wasn''t the time to worry about that. Uh, how do you use the runes... It''s about the ancient runes. Well, it''s basic. Don''t everyone speak three languages these days? What''s more difficult is predicting which of the many spells to cast just by looking at the first mouth shape. From a teacher''s point of view, there would be no time to even think about it. From now on, you will have to pay the price for not being able to preempt the order. kukukuku! The ''pot that eats filth'' began to vibrate violently. In order to eat the target according to the order of the caster. Hey! The teacher turned around. Unlike before, he tried to run away with all his might, throwing away all his face. However, the black hands protruding from the jar were much faster. Kwak kwok! Hands gripped the teacher''s body tightly. Head and cheeks, waist and shoulders, and finally to the legs. It was a perfect capture. Oh, no! No! The teacher struggled hard. Scratching the floor with your fingernails and kicking the desk and floor with your feet. I tried to get out somehow. sure. It''s all just a futile effort. Grasping has never missed something to be devoured. Kak kak kak! Ten nail marks continued on the stone floor. And to end it. Aww! The headmaster''s body was completely swallowed into the jar. Ududuk! kwaduk! kwaduduk! The next thing I heard was a ghastly shattering sound of bones and flesh being crushed without mercy. He served many followers and lived as the Demon King''s limb. It''s such a tragic word. No, it may have been too easy to kill people for being burned alive. The time I felt the pain was at most less than 30 seconds. Jinhyuk looked at the end of the teacher with cold eyes. Then he turned his head to remember something. There was Andria, who was still half gone. "I, I did you buy it?" You know what to ask? Yeah, but... Andria opened her rabbit eyes and caressed her body. The face is more curious about how he lived rather than the fact that he survived. Don''t you feel anything more strange than that? Is your body lighter than usual? Is it full of energy? Yeah? Ah. Come to think of it... What? It''s like waking up from a great night''s sleep. ''Yeah, it''s like this.'' The teacher is dead. However, the message that the 5th floor has been conquered has not yet appeared. It''s a natural thing. Because the boss of the psychiatric ward isn''t dead yet. ''During the activation of the Sacrifice, the headmaster died, so the holy relic would have chosen a new owner.'' In other words. This means that the new boss monster in the current mental ward will be Andria. ''The time has come for me to become aware of myself.'' That was when I thought. Oh ! A short sigh escaped Andria''s mouth. He realized what the vitality and power he was feeling was due to the tower''s system. succession effect. It was the moment when the owner of the psychiatric ward was reborn. And. its owner. ''Only will obey me.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. All players will think that killing the boss and conquering the floor is the only way to get to the next floor. ''I''m different.'' The deceased does not seek the norm. If I could get greater benefits and stimulation, I didn''t care what kind it was. That was the way the deceased climbed the tower. That was why the deceased could see the top of the tower. I did it before. I was betrayed by the most precious people and abandoned here. Yeah, that''s exactly what I said. Now that time is over. At least on the 5th floor, no one will be rude to you. He is no longer a believer who lives like a fly, but a ruler of a floor with a powerful mana and numerous subordinates. That was where Andria would live in the future. So, from now on, live with a smile. Thank you. Really... Andrea''s eyes welled up. It seemed as if all the sorrows and pains I had experienced so far had passed by in an instant. He was already in a situation where he could never betray due to the ''stigma of the soul''. well. Even if it wasn''t for that, Andria wouldn''t betray her. It was me who gave her freedom and gave her a new life. Still, I have to do something for sure. I don''t really like giving thanks in words... Jinhyuk muttered his words as if waiting for something. OK. Andria wiped the tears with her sleeve. The determined eyes turned to Jinhyuk. it has been decided How will she live in the future? My name is Andria. I am the owner of this ward. Andria politely knelt down on one knee. All beings in this ward, including me, will follow you, and will do whatever you ask for. Even if that request is against the rulers of the higher ranks. And with sincerity, he bowed deeply. [The boss monster ''Andria'' in the ''psychiatric ward'' on the 5th floor swears allegiance.] [''Mine'' and ''Gladiator Arena'' are freed.] [The 6th floor of the Tower of Trials is open!] [Time remaining until conquering next floor: 89D 23h:59m:59s] [Level has risen.] [Level has risen.] [Level has risen.] A level that rises with the opening of the floor. A status window appeared one after another. ''The power of the 5th floor will be useful in the future.'' Considering the future, assistance from the lower floors was one of the tasks that must be addressed. This time, Jinhyuk''s gaze turned downward. Toward the reward, the flower of the raid. [You are the first to receive the loyalty of the boss monster.] [You have acquired the special item ''Mirror that breaks down boundaries (Overrank)''.] Unbelievable . Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. This is another huge thing. Conquer the 5th floor. At that fact, the world cheered again. Again, the protagonist who conquered the tower was a Korean ranker, Kang Jin-hyuk. -Takoyaki: Seriously. At this point, shouldn''t the presidents of each country give a commendation to Kang Jin-hyuk? -The Black Flame Dragon on the right hand: No. At this point, it is right to hand over the presidency. What do you get a commendation for? Will you cook soup? -IndexTM: I''m dying to see the attack video or something. I''m curious as to how you cleared it. Of course, it''s an edited version. In a very hot atmosphere. The video with everyone''s expectations has been updated. [The manager solves the story that escaped in front of him] The provocative title heated up the Tower of Trials community more than ever. The video was played. Then, Jinhyuk and the ''path of choice'' appeared. A place that was notorious for its tight time and beggar-like difficulty. However, in front of the deceased, all of them collapsed in vain. As if he didn''t even need to listen to a hint, Jinhyuk broke through the gates in an instant. It is an unbelievable sight to behold. It wasn''t funny actually. Eventually, the manager ran away. Rather than anger, full of self-doubt. -Index: hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Wasn''t he really an admin, not aggro? -Identification Center: Wow, how much rot does it have to be for something like that? -Tissue paper roll on the desk: Seeing all the dead people who say they''re getting long, can''t even make a squeak, so that person seems to be the only one? - Sae Young Eon-Hwan: Ha-Jin, Kang Jin-hyuk is the second time in his life, but it is the academic orthodoxy -Kim Bang Gu-seok: Only the second time? That''s about 999 rounds. Of course, I can''t seem to give infinite coins. -Baeksuwitsu: Kyaa. He''s a player you can really trust. The gameplay video is really cool. You''re a noob at all! - Woojin Choi: He is one of the players who have survived that psychiatric ward. I thought there was no answer other than to die in that terrible hell, but thanks to player Jinhyuk Kang, I was able to live everything. thank you. really. The explosive reaction did not stop until night fell and dawn deepened. At the same time, a meme began to spread on the Internet. There is a dead person on top of the player. There are oil and fossils on the stagnant water. Lastly, there is Jinhyuk watching their teasing party. CH 93 . their daily life A lonely room without even a single ornament. On TV, there was a video that attacked the fifth floor and a story about Kang Jin-hyuk. Is that guy again? Cheon Yooseong, who was sitting on the bed, muttered. The self-talk, which was full of complex emotions, contained many meanings. One was the frustration of not being able to narrow the gap with the opponent he had to overcome. The other was a sense of shame at the fact that he was mimicking his opponent''s swordsmanship without knowing when. ''In order to fight the opponent you want to overcome the most, learn the skill of that opponent... .'' It''s kind of a contradiction. Because he never wanted to win that way. But no matter how much I think and think about it. Without resembling the opponent, there was never any way to approach the gap. So, one conclusion was reached. In order to drink the wine of victory, you have to throw away your pride. moon crack. The dishes on the table moved. Chicken and pizza, cream prawns and sheep skin, 2 bottles of beer and soju each. All of the menus that Jinhyuk had prepared for the mukbang in the past were the same. And on the tablet PC on the other side of the table, videos of Jinhyuk''s view tube in the past were prepared sequentially. [Hello. HyungNims! Today''s content is ''Legend of Legend''. I will show you Timoro 1:5 pentakill shooting properly. Yes? Tearing? If you are confident, shoot anywhere. I''ll just put a poisonous mushroom in the nostril.] Lifestyle, behavior, eating habits, of course. He imitates and imitates every game and content he has played. It was not difficult for Cheon Yoo-seong, a medical student, to design an efficient learning route. ''Is the key point of this video Teemo?'' [Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhk?Kha! Don''t ignore the rules of the scouts! Captain Teemo!] Timo. Timora... . Cheon Yu-seong grabbed the Monami pen and scribbled it in the notebook. It was a bonus that I underlined it with a yellow highlighter and added a star. ''must win.'' Cheon Yoo-seong, who took a bite of the chicken, fell into the video with a sad face. How many hours have passed? Ding Dong! Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Ding Dong! Ding Dong! Ding Dong! Of course, Cheon Yu-seong tried to ignore it. The important thing now was that I wasn''t an unknown visitor. However. When the entire front door was cut off, I couldn''t help but ignore it any longer. Kaga click! A sword attack drawn at high speed. The place where the iron had been cut became red hot. and in between. Haha. Excuse me. A smirk-looking blonde foreigner appeared. What are you? I have a different name, but you can call me Gawain comfortably. Ah... Wayne? Yes, we usually call it that way. Gawain shrugged. Then, he slowly scanned the place where Cheon Yu-seong lived. Hmm. This is a bit surprising. Would it be too small and narrow for Mr. Unknown''s place? I didn''t expect a 5-star hotel, but I expected a more classy place, not an officetel. Unknown? ''You suddenly appeared and said that I was Unknown?'' At Gawain''s words, Cheon Yuseong tilted his head. ''no way ?'' But soon I realized the end of this. Because there was only one person in the world who could play such a prank. Kang Jin-hyuk is going to eat this...! Cheon Yu-seong did not finish the words. Hmm. Now isn''t the time to relax while looking for someone else? This is because the opponent who had already pulled out a sharp sword approached with a smile. same time. Jinhyuk, who was in front of Shinsegae Department Store in Yeongdeungpo, moved his fingers eagerly. It''s strange. Why are your ears itchy? It''s like a tiny earthworm moving around the eardrum. Isn''t that the one who''s cursing? Elise, who was standing next to her, made an expression asking what the obvious thing was. What? Who is swearing at me? Who else is as kind and sincere as me? Ttttttt. Among vampires, I''ve never seen a vampire like you, but it''s good to say that. look at this Are you doing well these days? Shall we just go back? Do you think it would be more suitable for a long-awaited break to go around a dungeon all day in a department store or Nabal? Jinhyeok put a threat in a moment. Then, Alice''s voice suddenly became sharp. Ah. Why are you touching it recklessly! Why are you touching me? There are two of my favorite lion idioms. One of them is yeojisaji. It means to think about other people''s feelings before you speak. Wow, you sound like a gyokjisaji. You don''t think of anyone else the most! uhm. That''s oddly logical. It''s not like they''ve lived for thousands of years. But, it doesn''t matter. My next favorite word is naeronambul. It means that all these rules apply only to other people but me. That''s not even an adult in the first place! If you like me, you should be mature. Is the slang any different? If the majority admires and empathizes with it, then it is mature. take a good look 100 years from now, you will be able to confidently attach Chinese characters and appear in the civil service exam. However, this is the price I have been duly paid. You mustn''t threaten me with this shamefully... In return for Elise''s occasional sharing of various information with Andria, Jinhyuk promised Ellis that she could enjoy the cultural life of Seoul. How the boss lives. The boss''s daily routine. The boss''s voice, etc. It is a kind of ''Introduction to Boss Studies''. Elise is the professor who teaches it. I''ll take care of you only once, so stop slurping. It''s a headache because the number of employees you have to manage has already increased. Kim Hee-woong, who entrusted the Black Crow Guild, should also try to contact him. I left it on half because I was concentrating on climbing the tower and growing, but I''ll take a look at it at least once. Did you really say you can shop as you please? Yeah. We, Elise, do whatever we want to do. And I don''t think you''ll regret it so much... I didn''t know it when I said it. after a while. Elise, who entered the department store, started running into a runaway as if she was trying to relieve all the stress she had accumulated. Buy them all. I, if it''s all...? The staff widened their eyes. It means I''m going to buy everything in this department store. Hey . Jinhyuk was about to give the double bath that came up from his throat, but he could barely hold it in. Seriously, what does this bat think money is? No matter how much economic ideas are sent to Andromeda, this is enough to see money as a public good like air. Customer. I''m sorry, but anyway, that''s... I always get what I want. It doesn''t matter if it''s a thing or a person. Alice waved her hand lightly. Then a golden haze fluttered behind her back. Jinjo''s subspace inventory is about to open. ???????????????? On the glass shelf, diamonds with large grains were poured. It was unusual for even a stranger to jewelry. Ugh? The employee''s eyes widened rapidly. I had no choice but to do so. The rise of the Tower of Trials and the economic crisis, and now the sales are plummeting. It was a pain in the ass to spend at least a few million won to satisfy the loud shouting of the little hands. Because a super VVVIP has appeared who will lightly trample all of that. promotion? bonus? That''s not a problem. ''You must catch it. This guest.'' like that. A new god who will be talked about in the history of Yeongdeungpo for a long time has descended. Now, please wait for a moment! Branch... Branch Manager... Sir! I''ll call you right away! And he quickly ran to somewhere. On the other hand, Jinhyuk pressed his temple with his index finger. If Korea goes bankrupt, it''s probably because you can''t afford the inflation caused by your money. When I saw Zimbabwe or Venezuela, I thought it was pitiful. When I saw a bunch of money pulled out of my pocket to buy a bottle of water, my eyes reddened. Well. Now that I see it, it wasn''t about anyone else. Here was the catastrophe that could create national inflation. Don''t worry. I don''t know what inflation is, but if that''s a problem, I''ll buy it too. ha. Let me not speak. Don''t. If I say any more, it''s only me who loses. after the all-out war. The place Jinhyuk and Elise found was a fairly famous bar nearby. Jin-hyeok, who ordered the most popular menu, checked the things he couldn''t handle while the food was coming out one by one. The most important thing is to distribute the stats obtained through leveling up. T-tiring! The top window is activated. Name: Kang Jin-hyuk Gender: Male Age: 27 Level: 30 Strength 19 Dexterity 19 Stamina 19 mana 74 Gap 100 Luck 10 Adaptive 78 Stat Points you have: 9 Coins held: 1,283,288 Occupation: None. Unique Abilities: Fusion, Sword Tomb, Star Blessing, Anubis'' Judgment, Blood Magic, Mandala skill: Lv6 ''Element of Fire'', Lv5 ''Eye of Gluttony'', Lv4 ''Communion'', Lv4 ''Stigma of Souls'', Lv4 ''Reading'', Lv4 ''Shallow Breath'', Lv8 ''Glacier Formation'', Lv4 '' Daylight'', Lv1 ''Giant''s Grasp'', Lv3 ''Chuhon Sword (׷ꄦ)'', Lv1 ''Double Spy'', Lv1 ''Jintae Cheonghwarang Heart Method'', Lv2 ''Sword Demon King Treasure''ħ)'', Lv1 ''A hazy body odor'', Lv1 ''Mental barrier'' The adaptive stat obtained by dealing with the headmaster and the fanatics was a whopping ''68''. There, the level went up by three. ''Looking at it again, it''s an absurd speed.'' Despite spending a month collecting gaps, it''s an incredibly fast level-up. Even the rankers who recruited exclusive dungeons from the guild level and raised them by hunting sheep were only in the 30s. ''If you include the stats, there is actually no player with better specs than me.'' With the knowledge and experience as a deceased person, the gap must have widened even more. great. Jinhyuk had a satisfied smile. It felt like all the hard work was rewarded. ''The stats are neatly set to 20 and all the rest can be invested in mana.'' [Strength increases from 19 to 20.] [Agility increases from 19 to 20.] [Health increases from 19 20.] [mana rises from 74 to 80.] I don''t know if I have an obsession, but it feels good when the last digit is just right. In addition, the video uploaded this time seems to have 100 million views, so I thought it would be perfect if I use the ''coin exchange coupon''. That was then. The customer at table 127. The food you ordered has arrived. A staff member showed up with a table full of food. Two main dishes for side dishes and two glasses of 500cc Hoegaarden. Ice water and various salads are separate. These are giblets and salmon, so this is how you eat them. Take a good look. Jinhyuk was busy moving his chopsticks. The unique giblets of giblets were properly captured by the spicy sauce. On top of that, when I ate thickly sliced raw salmon with tartar sauce and onions, I was greeted with exclamation. This is something I can''t drink even if I don''t want to drink. Elise, who put a mouthful in her mouth, also lit up her eyes. I. What does this meat mean? How does it taste like this...! Well. What should I say? It''s shit X. what? It''s a dish made from the intestines of cow''s anus. "Joke don''t be joking. I''m eating happily, what does that mean?" Did you see me joking about what I eat? It didn''t take long for Elise to realize that Jinhyuk''s eyes were no joke. And soon fell into deep despair. "You have to eat it. No, no, how can a noble nobleman have the taste of cows but nevertheless, he''s never tasted that flavor . No. Be patient. You can''t stand it. Aww!" Since then, Elise has struggled with giblets for a long time. And while Elise despairs between pride and appetite. Jinhyuk is... . ''A mirror that breaks down boundaries.'' I took out the long-awaited special item obtained on the 5th floor. CH 94 . How to build up a dead person (1) [Mirror that breaks down boundaries (growth type)] Acquisition Difficulty: Overrank Description: When used as a special item of unknown origin, it will connect to any location on the 10th floor of the Tower of Trials. (Cooldown: 90 days, Duration: 30 minutes.) Layers that can be connected as the player grows also increases, and so does the duration. (You can bring up to one accompanying person.)] As you play the Tower of Trials, you may discover some deceptive items and abilities. The unique ability ''fusion'' obtained from the National Museum of Korea was one of them. The ''mirror that breaks down boundaries'' It was also there. pounding! pounding! pounding! Jinhyuk''s heart was beating rapidly. Although it was a play that broke the common sense to officially receive the loyalty of the boss monster. ''I didn''t expect you to give me this.'' Non-standard compensation that excites even the dead. It was because she couldn''t control this excitement that she proposed to Elise to take a big break. ''First of all, I need to collect some things.'' Once you use it, it will take 90 days to use it again. The mirror must be used under the best conditions. Jinhyuk''s head turned rapidly. I''ve already figured out what to do. ''first .'' uuung! Jinhyuk took out his cell phone and called someone. Pop! The other person picked up the phone before it even rang once. Ah! CEO! For some reason, he contacted us all. At the very least, I thought that he might have forgotten us. It was Kim Hee-woong, the boss of the Black Crow Guild. Kim Hee-woong, whose life has completely changed thanks to Jin-hyuk, has been managing Black Crows, a mid-level guild. It''s pretty solid using his unique skills. Jinhyeok licked his lips. I''ve been a little busy lately. I was so busy that I half forgot about it. Haha. Of course, I understand. It''s hard to find a channel these days without the CEO''s face. Huh? Hey, why do you pretend you don''t know? Korea No, you''re the most in the spotlight in the world. In fact, it seems to have become quite popular these days. Because if I just went out, people would recognize me and talk to me. Greetings are done, how about the guild? How are you doing while I''m away? It''s a problem because it''s going so well. The number of players trying to join after seeing the CEO is overflowing. A player who wants to join me after seeing me? Are there so many people like that? Yeah. We''ve been picking them up, but it''s impossible to manage because of the hundreds of people coming in every day. Hundreds of people a day. what kind of mess is this again? I don''t have much desire to raise a guild, but it would be difficult if Kim Hee-woong died from overwork. ''As a condition of joining, I''ll have to put in the condition of wearing only bald head + full body tanning + bikini.'' By the way, I plan to apply it to everyone regardless of gender. Of course, those who still want to join should be accepted. It''s better to keep those insane people in the guild than to make them enemies. Above all, we have no choice but to respect the deceased who know the true look. I''ll take care of that. I''m begging you, please. And. Have you ever contacted me? For example, the side of the fighting father. Ah! Still, the father-in-law side kept looking for the CEO. You said that you signed a contract with an exclusive dungeon instead of getting a recipe for that cure? Actually, that''s why I contacted him. Now that I''ve got some spare time. That''s why, can you make an appointment with Ki-tae Kim, a player from the father''s side? "It is possible, but when can we do it?" Catch me as soon as possible. And while you do it, make reservations for famous concerts and Michelin restaurants. It doesn''t matter whether it''s domestic or overseas. Yes? Why is that again...? Should I even tell you why? Oh, no. I''ll reserve the best seat for you. The call ended with that. Jinhyuk smiled and put his phone in. ''I don''t understand.'' Kim Hee-woong, of course, no one will understand. At a time when we need to grow up, it doesn''t make sense in common sense to leisurely find a restaurant or enjoy music. Especially considering that the 6th floor boasts the best conditions for leisurely growth. Tower of Trials 6th floor ''Forest of Elves''. Should this be some sort of comma? The vast forest covering the entire 6th floor was peace itself. Besides, if you simply spend 90 days playing and eating here, the road to the next floor will open. During this period, players focused on improving their skills and abilities and leveling up. It is a method of taking only Dojo attending on the 6th floor, and walking around the dungeon or labyrinth from the 1st floor to the 5th floor. However. ''If you leave the 6th floor alone because you''re told to rest, that''s just stupid.'' Now, what if I told the transferred private to lie down and rest in peace? Now that you have your first job, what if you hear a voice saying, ''There is nothing to do, so Mr. OO is leaving work?'' ''The military life has become easier these days.'' while lying down or lying down. ''Then I''m 20000. Let''s work hard!'' If I become Itachi, will the superiors look good on me? The same goes for the Tower of Trials. Each floor has a purpose and there is a skill that can be achieved through it. This means that no layer exists without a reason. And Jinhyuk... . More than anyone else, I was planning to spend 90 days on the 6th floor perfectly. Only. In a way that only the deceased can do. ''Concerts and Michelin are the paving stones for that.'' Jinhyuk made a plan step by step. by the way. ''You idiots. I''ll see you again soon.'' I am already looking forward to it. I''m sure they''ll be surprised to see what I''m doing. And how much good things will come out of it. It was about an hour later that Kim Hee-woong contacted me again. The situation with Kim Ki-tae of the Brawl Fathers Guild was decided to meet at a coffee shop near Yeongdeungpo. Jinhyeok, who arrived a little earlier than the appointed time, sips a frappuccino topped with whipped cream. ''After all, there is nothing like supplementing sugar to relieve fatigue.'' Unfortunately, the mint chocolate was sold out, so I ordered this, but the chocolate frappuccino was just okay. right then jerk. Unlike ordinary people, footsteps full of mana approached. You don''t even have to check it to know. It was Kim Ki-tae, a ranker belonging to the Brawl Father''s Guild. It''s been a while since I''ve seen you. Kang Jinhyuk player. Kim Ki-tae bowed his head briefly. There must be a lot of things piled up inside him, but he speaks quite politely. Jinhyuk greeted Kim Ki-tae with a smile. It''s the first time I''ve seen it in testing, so it''s been a long time. Of course, to be precise, it was different back then. Unlike when I was a little kid, when even the rank was not decided, now I am given an S grade. Moreover, due to various performances, the comparison between the two has reached a point where it is ridiculous. So it''s probably going to be that low-key. ''That''s why it must have power.'' Jinhyuk once again felt his emotions. What it means to have power and ability in this world. Jinhyuk leaned back on the sofa and opened his mouth again. I''m sorry about the location of Mandragora. I was so focused on climbing the tower that I didn''t have time to tell you. " it''s okay, it must have been." Kim Ki-tae made a face that chewed shit. The opponent is a top-ranking ranker, so he''s keeping it up. If it were anyone else, I would have pulled out the sword first. However, Jinhyuk lightly overlooked that gaze. In that sense, I would like to change the terms of the contract slightly. From what I''ve heard, there are a few A-class dungeons that Brawl Father has. Probably, it was on the 3rd floor, right? 10 exclusive dungeons on the first floor. At the time, it was attractive, but now that level 30 is over, it is not very useful. It''s not like I''m playing tag with the goblins now. If you''ve grown up, wouldn''t you need a dungeon that matches that? So. Instead of the 10 dungeons on the 1st floor that we have. Asking for one of the A-class dungeons on the 3rd floor... Are you saying that? You heard me right. You said that you would tell me the recipe for the antidote so late. Rather, you''re going to raise our terms? That''s what it means. It''s not about repeating anything once more. I don''t know why I keep asking like a parrot. It looks like he''s angry when he sees his face turn red... . Should I recommend a glass of cold water in this case? " player Jinhyuk Kang. What do you see us as?" uhm. A tree that generously provides what you need? But, I can''t say the truth. In this case, you have no choice but to give an excuse that is commonly used all over the world. This decision was made inevitably due to inflation, rising raw material prices and rising labor costs. "What ! We are not a charitable organization. We are not here to satisfy such absurd demands!" Kim Ki-tae jumped up from his seat. Are you going? If you''re going to say that, it hurts my mouth to say any more. Hmm. Labyrinth on the 3rd floor [ The Gray Temple. As far as I know, it''s owned by the father-in-law side, but isn''t the attack still failing? ] ...! Kim Ki-tae, who was about to turn around, stopped. Because an unexpected name popped up. How else did you know that? I picked it up here and there. I have quite a lot of networking after all. The list of dungeons possessed by the father of fighting had been delivered through Kim Hee-woong before coming here. And the moment I saw the ''Gray Temple'' among them. Jinhyuk was sure. With the power that the fighting father had, he would not even dare to attack the labyrinth. And that prediction was exactly right. ''Yeah, you''re responding.'' I want to get the treasures that are sleeping in the temple, but I''m sure my stomach is burning because the raids are all burning waste. However, since I brought up the story about the labyrinth in a timely manner, I had no choice but to stop walking. Now that the other person has shown interest, you can talk hard. Catch it somehow and let this go the way you want it to go. I''m not saying I''m going to gulch the reward alone. The Gray Temple is a 20-person labyrinth, so it''s impossible to attack alone. " " The most important thing is to reassure Kim Ki-tae by mentioning the rules of the system. Besides, the loss would be huge on the side of the fighting father, wouldn''t it be better to go with me, who has proven my skills, rather than losing more players by trying sloppily? "It is so it is." The second important thing is to give it a justification. It''s not because they''re weak at making unfavorable deals, but for a plausible cause to save the players belonging to their guild. The third most important thing is to express your feelings of regret. "Sorry" here is not just a verbal apology. To pay a price for an apology to make it feel sincere. This is the key point of the third condition. You can buy Mandragora from the basic shop on the first floor. You have to drink the jasmine tea recommended by the shop owner 11 times in a row to see the secret items hidden in the closet. It doesn''t taste bad, but you have to be patient. " Haw!?" Kim Ki-tae took a deep breath. It''s because I didn''t expect that he would tell me about Mandragora''s location first. A moment of silence followed, as if he was at a loss for words. ''If you do this, you probably don''t want to cheat.'' Kim Ki-tae nodded as if he had made up his mind. Okay. After talking with the guild leaders, I''ll let you know the schedule for the labyrinth. And with a satisfied smile, he asked Jinhyeok to shake hands. ''Kang Jin-hyuk. It''s too lax for a name. It''s a good thing for us.'' As long as your opponent is your opponent. I couldn''t use it openly. Still, it means that a footing has been laid for the guild to fight in the favor of the Father-in-law. However, Kim Ki-tae will never know. The secret hidden in the gray temple. Haha. I''m really looking forward to it. Jin-hyuk also held Kim Ki-tae''s hand in a pleasant way. ''Now use the shops on the first floor that you don''t need anymore.'' If you drink 11 cups of bitter jasmine tea, you''ll have a hard time getting in and out of the bathroom all night that night. ''I am the labyrinth and guild members you have. Everyone will make good use of it.'' like that. each other thinking differently. The existing contract was renewed. CH 95 . How the dead build up (2) Kim Ki-tae was given five days before recruiting players to go to the labyrinth. During that time, Jinhyuk visited various concerts and Michelin stars prepared by Heewoong Kim. And the current location is the Chopin International Piano Competition. It is a piano competition held once every five years and is one of the three major music competitions in the world where people compete only with Chopin''s songs. Jinhyuk, who took advantage of the S-class position and took a position without difficulty, fell in love with the performance of a male pianist in his early 20s. How long has it been? The accompaniment that had reached its climax subsided, and the pianist''s hand finally fell off the piano. the play is over ''I don''t know much about music... . This is really creepy.'' A completely different realm from combat. It can be said that the beautiful and splendid melody is another world sublimated into art. Jinhyuk, who was trembling, wiped his chest. Uh-huh... It was awesome. It''s like watching a movie, right? It was as if his whole body was still immersed in the afterglow. ''It took a lot of time, but the purpose was achieved nonetheless.'' I have been to all possible competitions and concerts with this. At the same time. [You have enjoyed the famous songs of an era.] [You have completed ''Go to Concert No. 7''.] [[''Beethoven Museum''] Tour completed.] Several status windows appeared in front of me. ''great.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. [The condition has been met.] [Successful to copy skill ''Absolute Pitch (F)''!] [Successfully copied skill ''Instrument Understanding (F)''!] All acquired skills are F grades. However, Jinhyuk was not satisfied with just this. Combine low-level skills, Something that can create a higher level of skill. Because that was the reason I chose the unique ability of ''fusion''. I will fuse the stellar Blessing with the understanding of instruments. Jinhyuk immediately ''converges'' skill was used. [The skill ''Blessing of the stars'' and ''understanding the instrument'' are fused.] [Successful in fusion.] [You have acquired the skill ''Heavenly Melody''] [Heavenly melody] Acquisition Difficulty: B Description: ''Bestia'', the goddess of music, valued harmony and peace for all, transcending races. He also believed that no matter how harsh the world is, music can act as a medium that can skin walls. The wind of the goddess resides in this ability. [The copied skill is saved in ''Memory of the World''.] I didn''t come here because of time left. To gather non-combat-type abilities. To gain the additional power needed to climb the tower forward. You are investing your time like gold. ''Next is the turn of cooking.'' Two tasks to do before going to the elven forest. Now all that''s left is to learn to cook. Jinhyeok looked through the list of three Michelin-starred restaurants that had been booked in turn. [The following conditions must be met to copy the skill ''Imperial Master''s Master''.] [One. Eat a course meal at a Michelin 3-star or higher restaurant (7/10 times)] [2. Watching the chef cook the dish (3/5 episodes)] [3. Try making different kinds of dishes (25/30 times)] I ate it in my spare time while watching the contest, so it wasn''t long before I met the conditions. ''I can finish everything within today and go back to Korea.'' In other words. It means the time has come to go to the 6th floor. Citic Tower in Beijing, China. Several men and women were gathered in the penthouse on the top floor of a building that was so high that the expression "skyscraper" was appropriate. It was the rankers belonging to the China Guild, the largest guild in China. Damn it! To lose the first attack again this time. What kind of dog is this! Surely, we were not confident that we could clear the 5th floor first! A man with a large body and a thick beard shouted. Yes. The preparation was perfect. Have you ever cleared the 5th floor? No, because I have prepared a lot of dead figures and rankers who have run through the 5th floor with a time attack. There is ''orange'' within the guild itself Since the relics that had been judged were prepared, it was quite natural to guarantee the first attack. But. The Chinese Guild failed to attack the 5th floor for the first time. Even after investing so much resources and effort. Even more than half of them were still struggling to escape from the mines or the gladiatorial arena. It''s not that we didn''t have enough preparation. It''s just that a guy named Kang Jin-hyuk caught the boss at an abnormal speed. Jinhyuk Kang. The name put anger on everyone''s faces. The guys below are all about that guy. I heard by chance that there''s a guy talking bullshit that the only hope for mankind is that guy. Of course, he slit his throat right away. It won''t happen, but I think it''s time to think about leaving the cast. How the hell did that guy rot in the Tower of Trials so he climbed the tower so quickly? I heard he did it alone without any outside support... It must have been a guy who has been doing it for quite some time. Maybe he''s climbed the tower to the 20th floor or more. 20th floor. An unknown realm that no one here has ever been to has popped up. no way . Are there any crazy people who play that crazy game over 20 floors? It''s nonsense! Even China, which has over 500 million users, has all been shut down, but if you gather up the population, how can such a person come out of a country with 50 million! Everyone raised their voices in denial. The center of the world was China. It was because they believed that only China could see the top of the pagoda. So, didn''t he call himself ''Chunghwa'' and be proud of himself? But no matter how hard you try to hide it. I started to realize that I was speaking. That there is a deceased person in this tower that they do not know well. And that the dead person alone is more dangerous than moving the entire guild. But it was then that an awkward silence followed. Rumble! The door opened on both sides and a man appeared. He was an impressive man with a beautiful impression and clothes made of luxurious silk. All eyes turned to the man. I, Namgungcheon-sama! Have you finished talking with Moorim? The Master of the Chinese Guild. China''s strongest player. Namgungcheon. That''s what this man was referring to. "Yeah it''s over for now." Namgungcheon ran across the room with a dissatisfied expression on his face. one step. one step. Even though he was just walking, the inside was filled with a thick chill as if in a freezer. gulp. There was the sound of dry saliva swallowing all over the place. Naturally, no one dared to ask the reason why Namgungcheon''s planting was uncomfortable, with the liver sticking out of the stomach. Namgungcheon, who sat in the empty chair, opened his mouth again. I got a report about the 5th floor. Who''s in charge? It''s me... But, Namgungcheon-sama! This day must be... The man with a thick beard made an excuse urgently. Of course, the lame excuses did not come to an end. ...gagging? Scratch! Blood gushed like a fountain from the neatly divided upper body. He who can''t do one thing right doesn''t deserve to go up with me. Namgungcheon''s sword was crossed horizontally as if he had pulled it out. It is a speed that is difficult to even perceive, let alone discern with the naked eye. Namgungcheon''s gaze, who had brushed off the blood on his sword, turned to the rankers. I have to go to the 5th floor of the tower to do what Moorim asked me to do. The main raid also has work to do with me. Namgungcheon called the main raid. The commanders who met their eyes bowed their heads. How about the sixth floor? The elves will allow three S-class men and one raid. The selected ones go to the 6th floor, take the elves as prisoners, and burn the forest. The deadline is ten days. The command that has been dropped is the erasure of one floor (ȥ). There is no objection. No questions either. Because fulfilling orders was the only way for them to survive. All right. I will never disappoint you this time. After finishing all his chores in Europe, Jinhyuk headed straight to the Tower of Trials. There was still one day left until the appointment with Kim Ki-tae, so in the meantime, I was thinking of opening up with the elves. ''It''s not easy to meet him because it''s hidden so deep in the forest.'' The elf race was originally like that. They are a race that loves nature more than anyone with a beautiful appearance, but strangely, should it be said that they have a beta personality toward other races? in short. It means that not only is it difficult to meet, but it is even more difficult to have a conversation. But that''s the case with normal players. ''I am different.'' Where do the elves live? Where do your favorite fruit trees usually live? He even knew what he had to do to get their likes. Jinhyuk, who had a strange smile, suddenly trembled. Because all of a sudden, old memories came to mind. ''Come to think of it, I was trying to get to know them at first, but nothing special happened... .'' The memory of being chased by the entire tribe after passing chicken, saying that it was precious to the elves who only eat vegetarian food, was a kind I can''t easily forget. If you die, you can''t reconnect for 48 hours, so I played tag in the woods for 17 hours with firewood. ''Well, that was my fault.'' Meat for an elf. I wouldn''t have been so angry if I had given him some savory sunflower seeds. But it wasn''t the worst. The most terrible memory was on October 17th at 11:43:15 PM. It goes back to that very day. ''Even if I die, I will never forget it.'' Do you even remember the date and time? Jinhyuk bit his lower lip. After several attempts. Jinhyuk managed to get a chance to get to know the elves and was invited to their village. But, after all, that day was an annual festival of elves. An empty lot with a beautiful night sky and lights made of fireflies. Fragrant fruits and drinks that seem to be rare in the world created Mureungdowon itself. The atmosphere was very good. ''Until you ask me if I can play an instrument.'' As for musical instruments, I had only listened to them a few times in elementary school. Even he was often sleepy. In the end, as a last resort, I bought the only thing I could handle on the ''coin exchange''. That''s the recorder. Jinhyuk played the immortal song ''My heart will go on'' while ignoring all the pitch beats. He even applied voice amplification magic in case there were elves who couldn''t hear him. That is . It was a fatal mistake. Aww! Stop, stop! Please stop! This is the devil! The devil has come down here! Forest the forest is furious! The trees are dying! All the spirits are leaving. It seemed as if the screams of the elves could still be heard vividly in my ears. ''Besides, the price I paid for playing with all my might was disastrous.'' It was thought that he possessed Leonardo DiCaprio and reproduced the grandeur and desperateness of the Titanic. However, the reality was a gutter. permanent deportation. The charge is that he inflicted irreparable damage to the souls of the elves and the spirits in the forest. ''this time different.'' Because I have prepared everything to make up for that disgrace. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo His vision in front of him was dyed black, and Jinhyuk entered the 6th floor of the Tower of Trials. CH 96 . 6th floor, Elf Forest [You have entered the 6th floor.] As my vision that had been darkened brightened, a dense forest spread out in front of me. ''Indeed, it is one of the best vacation spots in the Tower of Trials.'' Cool air and warm sunlight. Above all, the scenery created by the beautiful natural scenery was exclamatory. Come down here under the tree! Yeah. Barbecue, beer and everything set up. I heard that the ''Cloud Cotton Candy'' on the 6th floor is so delicious. Shall we try it? Ugh. There are a lot of pretty interesting Artifacts at the village shop. When are you going to use the coin again? First, the players who came to the 6th floor were talking in pairs. What? Do you feel like you are taking a small break in your daily life of climbing the tower while fighting frantically? It was understandable to some extent that players would become lazy when they only came to the 6th floor. However. ''You can play and have fun later.'' The elven forest is not a place where you can play with nature and play with nature. It is a place of opportunity to acquire skills that can only be obtained here. ''Those who noticed that would be very few.'' Those of us who really want to be strong in the first place will not be here. He must be wandering through the woods to find the elves. ''Then, I''ll go soon too.'' Jinhyuk passed the players and began to go deep into the forest. About 3 hours from the starting point, the forest became more complicated in earnest. This is kind of a warning. You can come here freely, but after that, the elves'' realm begins, so don''t approach it any further. However, no matter how complex the arrangement of trees is, it is of no use. Even if the trees move periodically and form new terrain, it is of no use. Because Jinhyuk had already learned how the elves found their way. Sup. As I took a deep breath, all kinds of scents stimulated my sense of smell. The fresh scent of grass and the sweet scent of fruit were conveyed as it was. Of course, the important thing here is the earthy smell. Jinhyuk discerned the very faintly permeated bitter earthy smell. ''It''s on the left.'' There is a subtle different scent on the left side. Jinhyuk immediately turned. The location of the mushrooms, the shape of the grass, and even the tree rings. Even after that, there was a fork in the road, but Jinhyuk relentlessly recognized the elves'' marks and went deeper into the forest. And. On a tree a little far away, there was a being who was watching everything. A race with short short hair and pointed ears. That was the elf, the owner of the forest. ''How do humans know that method?'' Sylvia, a ranger in the elven village, did not understand the situation at all. A number of defenses that were painstakingly crafted to prevent humans. Aren''t all these things being overlooked too vainly? ''It''s impossible to distinguish the smell of dirt if you haven''t lived in the forest for a long time.'' The location of the mushrooms and the shape of the grass were also of a kind that could never be known unless you were an insider. Normal humans wouldn''t even be interested in such trivial things. ''my Didn''t even a half elf born without her knowing?'' If it wasn''t for his looks, he wouldn''t have felt uncomfortable even if he was an elf rather than a human. To that extent, the way the opponent found his way was remarkably similar to that of an elf. right then The human man reached the barrier. ''it''s okay! No matter how great a human being, it ends here.'' What spread out in front of me was the elves'' exclusive barrier. It was impossible to escape when entering the ''imaginary barrier'' written in high elven language. If you stay in place for about a week in the countless shadows, you will eventually be exhausted. Sylvia''s mission will be complete if you take the unconscious human out of the barrier. By the way. Ummm. High elven here isn''t written like this. ''Ete Tamaros'' is in the passive voice, but I wrote it down in the active voice. I don''t know what kind of elf it is, but it seems like he fell asleep during grammar class. Only then will he be able to use only 50% of his original barrier ability. The human man clicked his tongue as he looked at the high elven language carved into the wood. At the same time, he even corrected the wrong part with a stone that had fallen on the floor. hot and Sylvia''s face flushed red. As an apprentice ranger, she had no choice but to learn the high elven language. ''big What the hell is that man!'' ''Thankfully, there is a young elf attached.'' Jinhyuk smirked. From the moment they reached the border of the forest, they were naturally aware of the existence of the elves who had been following them along the branches. Still, as a race of the forest, the stealth itself was quite good. Thanks to his clumsy confidence and skill, he was able to easily grasp the opponent''s position. ''I sprinkled enough bait... .'' This should be enough to make a solid first impression on your opponent. Then it''s your turn to summon the opponent who is hiding behind you. Jinhyuk opened a subspace inventory. Then, he took out the prepared ingredients and cooking utensils one by one. [Lv1 ''Different World Restaurant'' is activated.] Skills acquired while traveling around Michelin. And the skill of the higher version that was fused with those skills was activated. Then, Jinhyuk''s clumsy hand movements changed completely. The skill with a knife for slicing vegetables and fruits was almost to the level of art. ''Oh Beautiful.'' Sylvia, who was on the tree, stared blankly at him. But it was only for a while. no way ? I forgot to look around, but this smell. And the unique shape of that dish. no doubt That''s ''meat''. Sylvia jumped down the tree at once. How dare you cook meat in the sacred elven forest. What the hell is this! The figure is shouting while pulling the bowstring. His face was filled with anger, showing his will to never forgive. Well. Isn''t this meat? Jinhyuk shrugged. Yes? This is not meat. I''ve definitely seen it with my own eyes, do you mean to believe it? If you don''t believe it, come closer and check it out. No way . Silvia approached Jinhyeok in a dubious yet cautious manner. By the way what? An earthquake struck Sylvia''s pupil. It smelled and looked very similar to meat. Upon closer inspection, it was not meat. Food made only from white beans, nuts and fresh vegetables. It''s called soybean. It''s getting a lot of spotlight as a next-generation alternative food from our side. alternative food. It is a field that is rapidly growing in recent years for reasons of well-being, environmental pollution of the earth, animal rights, or personal beliefs. In fact, the stock price of a company called ''Beyond Meat'', listed on the Nasdaq, was in the midst of a high march through the sky. ''Of course, it will make the elves who hate meat feel a different charm.'' So I prepared. A special meal that will satisfy even the most demanding elves using the best cooking skills. Try it once. It''s okay to say this with my mouth, but I''m pretty confident. "Really it''s not meat, is it?" I don''t play around with food. I''m not even hostile to the elves. What are you doing forcing me to eat meat I don''t like? At Jinhyuk''s words, Sylvia slowly lowered her bow. Then, with curious eyes, he put a piece of soybean meat in his mouth. filth filth. The little mouth moved constantly. right at that moment. Oh my God, this tastes... An exclamation flowed from Sylvia''s mouth. I had no choice but to do so. It''s the first time I''ve eaten food like this. ''It''s so delicious.'' Soft beans and various vegetables harmonized to create a deep flavor. It has a moderate amount of olive oil and is soft and savory. It even finished with a specially prepared sauce, so no matter how frugal an elf is, his appetite is bound to move. [The favorability of the third-class ranger ''Sylvia'' increases.] [I feel sorry for ''Sylvia'' pointing her bow at you.] Contrary to the rise in favorability, regret for judging the opponent was conveyed. Everything was as Jinhyuk had planned. The elves are as sure as the Eunwon relationship. And as expected. I''m sorry. I didn''t even know that... Sylvia bowed her head. It was because he regretted what he had done to an unbearable extent. If you accept an apology here, it is sewage. rather. I''m glad the misunderstanding was cleared up. It''s also my fault for entering the elves'' realm in the first place. Jinhyuk deliberately added weight to Sylvia''s guilt. Yes. This should be high enough. No. It''s my fault. Sylvia shook her head stubbornly. As an apology, I will do anything I can do for you. Of course I should say that. For that reason, I have been acting while wearing such an innocent mask. "Then can we see the Elf Village?" Yes? Our village? Actually, I''m a sociology student. I''m writing a thesis that understands the lives of other races. If you give me a chance to enter a zone that humans cannot easily access, it will be a very precious memory for me. It''s called participatory observation. It is one of the main methods used by sociologists to understand where cultures and customs differ. [Lv4 ''Communion'' is activated.] Jinhyuk secretly used his sympathetic ability. The growth-type skill that has been used several times and leveled up is now strong enough to regard others as close friends. The effect was immediate. Sylvia, who was showing a slight embarrassment at the word of a visit to the village, suddenly nodded her head. Ah! Just. There is a festival in our village in a week. If you can serve delicious beans like this, the elders and village elves will like it very much. A week later... . It''s just the right time. Okay. Then I''ll come back here in a week. Yes, got it. Sylvia, who was about to send Jinhyuk away, hurriedly shouted as if she remembered something. That''s right. Maybe... what''s your name? "You can call me Kang Jin-hyuk." Don''t be confused and remember. It''s not Colonel Timo, it''s Jinhyuk Kang. I''m Sylvia. I''m in charge of a ranger located in the third rank of elf. Sylvia also formally introduced herself. If it''s 3rd rank, it''s probably a lower elf. Sylvia. I remembered. Next time I''ll bring more delicious things. Yes! I''ll be looking forward to it! After saying a light farewell, Jinhyuk started going back the way he came. But right then. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A status window appeared in front of you. [I received a video call from player Kim Ki-tae.] It was Kim Ki-tae. ''It looks like you''re ready.'' It wouldn''t have been easy to gather the materials to reopen the labyrinth, but it seemed to have ended quickly with significance. It must also mean that it is so urgent. As soon as I accepted, Kim Ki-tae''s face appeared. Hello, player Jinhyuk Kang. I have something to tell you. Do you have a moment? You don''t need to explain in length. Just tell me the time and place. Okay. After an hour, it''s ''Melta Hill'' on the 3rd floor. If you tell me the coordinates of where you are now, we will send you a magic-type player that can move through space. Opportunity to get 1st job advancement and hidden rewards at the same time. Finally, the time to go to the Gray Temple came. CH 97 . Gray Temple (1) The ''Gray Temple'' located on the 3rd floor. At the entrance of this place, there is a priest who manages the temple, and they are in charge of helping the players change their first job. Would you say that it is the most popularly activated ''exchange agency'' within the tower? Most of the players here received the quest about the 1st job change from the priest and went around the tower to complete the quest. This means that most of the temple''s labyrinth itself is not the purpose, but rather to meet the priest. But. Entering the temple is a completely different story. One of the most terrifying monsters of Greek times was trapped inside the labyrinth. A place boasting the extreme difficulty of annihilating raids more than 20 times so far. [Medusa''s lair] This was the labyrinth that the father to fight and Jin-hyeok decided to attack. right then huuuuuuuuuoooooooooooooooooo A white flash of light poured from the sky with a dazzling light. Space movement magic was activated. Whoa. It''s all over. Announced that the magic type player has arrived at the destination. Thank you. Thanks to you, I came here comfortably. Jinhyuk briefly expressed his thanks. This is sincere. It took me a few seconds to move a distance that would have taken me a full 12 hours if I moved normally. Looking at it this way, it was understandable to some extent that players learn magic professionally and change jobs. Of course, I had no intention of changing this job to a wizard. ''Anyway, I can copy the skill.'' You can fuse all skills and skills of higher versions of those skills, so there is no reason to learn magic through the 1st job change, right? Can I just copy the skill to the wizard in front of me like this? However, after checking the copy conditions, Jinhyeok had to spit out a voice. [Copy conditions: height 160 cm weight 107 kg. A man with severe hair loss has been single for 38 years. The only thing that always greets me after work is one female crucian carp in the fishbowl. Find a companion for the rest of your life. If successful, he will be able to copy one of his unique abilities or skills.] gulp Dry saliva ran down Jinhyuk''s neck. " " In an instant, several candidates popped into my mind, but none of them were the right choice. ''It would be easier to pick the Balrog Moji.'' Or maybe it''s easier to just survive Dragon Breath barefoot. Arguably, it can be said that it boasts the most difficult difficulty among copying conditions in history. Jinhyuk grabbed his forehead with his fingers. Flexibility... If you introduce him incorrectly, you will turn everyone under him, including Yoo Chun-young, as your enemy. Where is that? You might get an uppercut from Yoo Yeon-hwa. A cold sweat ran down Jinhyuk''s spine when he thought of the mighty power that can defeat even an armored gorilla in one hit. Theresa is not good at rejecting, so she could accept it, but somehow it felt like she would suffer from guilt for the rest of her life. Elise... just don''t talk Because I didn''t have to risk my life just to get one skill. what can''t be can''t ''Let''s give up on this one.'' Jinhyuk gave up neatly. at that time. You''re here. Gi-tae Kim and a dozen men and women who sensed the spatial movement approached. Those who have a well-kept mana. They were the 2nd raid players of the Fight Against Guild. ''Indeed, this time, it seems that the father to fight has also sharpened his teeth properly.'' There are a total of 11 raids that Fight Father has. Among them, it was quite unusual that one of the 1st and 2nd raids, which could be called the main, was mobilized. This is because they are far from consumables that are used once and thrown away. Haha. It''s an honor to meet you, player Jinhyuk Kang. My name is Youngkwon Lee, the commander of the 2nd raid. A tall, brown-haired man approached me. Looking at the rectangular shield on his back and the heavy-looking ax, I felt like he was in charge of tang and dill at the same time. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. If it''s Lee Young-kwon... . It''s a name you''ve never heard of. ''It''s the guy who appeared on TV when we had giblets with Elise.'' A player who recently played a very prominent role in the ''Gladiator Arena'' on the 5th floor. Although it was the rankers of the world''s top guilds that achieved ''freedom'' by winning the championship. Young-kwon Lee also climbed to the top of the seed. The ability to not be pushed even by the slightest bit against strong enemies. From team battles to the ability to control the majority with cool and quick situational judgment. Lee Young-kwon, who was the commander of the 5th raid, rose to the position of commander of the main raid at once. And this is the first time that ability is evaluated. This is Jinhyuk Kang. Please take care of me. No. We really need to take care of you. Personally, I watch every single view tube video from player Jinhyuk Kang. Lee Young-kwon smiled brightly with a recalled face. Then the rest of the players behind them also started talking to each other. "My name is Yeonsu Ha, who is in charge of the sub dealer. This labyrinth was really hard, but just being with player Jinhyuk Kang is reassuring." If there''s a Kang player, it''s like a labyrinth. It''s easy. I, I''m the raid main healer. Could you take just one picture with me? My friends didn''t believe me when I heard that Jinhyuk Kang was coming to this raid... Hmmmm! Actually, I only have one... "Can I take a picture with my arms crossed?" It''s like meeting your favorite celebrity. Everyone tried their best to somehow share a word with Jinhyuk. Some even registered friends or asked for their personal number. ''This is not a fan meeting.'' Jinhyuk made a troubled expression at the excessive interest. Still, I thought they would be united with their pride as they were the main attack squad of the 2nd largest guild in Korea. In order to make a connection with a top-ranking ranker, he seems to be able to throw away anything like that. Just then, Kim Ki-tae added a word. Nominally, Lee Young-kwon is the commander of engineering, but I will give all decisions to player Jin-hyeok Kang. All the by-products that come out from inside also player Jin-hyuk Kang do not matter. There is only one thing. Please succeed only in the attack. In a word, I''ll give you everything, so I''ll just ask for the title that the Father of Fighters Guild succeeded in conquering this labyrinth. It''s not about asking for everything. Only one place next to the name Kang Jin-hyuk. It means that it is important to raise the honor of the guild even if you give up all your pride and profits. The weight of being second in Korea was never light. ''I was planning to blow the back of the head nicely if I was greedy.'' If you can understand the topic well, the story will change. Okay. I''ll do it on that condition. Jinhyuk nodded his head. Then, I will enter the labyrinth as soon as the preparations are complete. If there is anything that Jinhyuk Kang has to do, please finish it now. Approximately how long will it take? I think it will take about 30 minutes. 30 minutes. That''s enough. Another purpose of coming here, the 1st job change. Priests in white robes were seen in the stone building inside the temple. Jinhyuk moved quickly. Welcome, stranger. A face I''ve never seen here. The priest, who looked quite old, opened his mouth. I came here because of the 1st job change. I heard that you have to come here to receive the related quests. If that''s the reason, you''ve come to the right place. In order to become stronger, you have to have a job that suits each individual. Then, I ask you. What direction are you pursuing? If it''s swordsmanship, it''s a swordsman. If it''s magic, it''s a wizard. If it''s to protect your comrades. A tank or healer would be a good fit. The priest flicked his finger lightly. OK. [Occupations are revealed.] An incredibly long list appeared. ''Because one real worldview is insanely large.'' There are literally countless jobs in the Tower of Trials. What the priest just said was a typical preview, and in addition to that, you could choose various types of jobs, such as unpopular jobs and hidden jobs. Of course, certain conditions must be met. But. Ummm. All of them have nothing but interesting jobs. Jinhyuk muttered as if bored. Swordsman, Wizard, Healer, Archer, etc. I''ve been fighting with players and monsters who have already done it as a sidekick or have a job like that. It means that you understand how your unique abilities and skills work, and what your strengths and weaknesses are. ''It''s good to climb the tower.'' Conquest of the 50th floor where the future of mankind depends. It hurts my mouth to tell you how important it is. But, on par with it. No, maybe more important than that is thrill and fun. ''If everything is the same, there is nothing more boring than that.'' The DNA of the dead person, which was drenched in fraying, needed a new stimulus, even a little. So that I can be interested in this world again. In that sense. Jinhyuk wanted to choose a new job. Sort by popularity. After the command was spoken, the list was sorted in reverse order. artist angler 3. Novelist 4. barrier company 5. Fragment These are professions that are unsuitable for combat or difficult to grow. Of course, it wasn''t popular with the players, so the jobs here were half-dead. ''Hmm .'' Jinhyuk stroked his chin. You have to find the one that suits your taste. ''All but two are art-related.'' A painter or a novelist isn''t bad either, but it took too long to grow. A masterpiece novel that will go down in history with a beautiful picture. Of course it''s great. However, what will you do if you invest 10 years to complete it? Before that, mankind would have been destroyed or the tower would have been conquered. For the same reason, the anglers who fish for time did not like it. And Fragment... I didn''t want to choose it for a number of reasons. Because it seemed like a great Fragment company would appear from another dimension. The worries didn''t last long. Barrier company. I''ll do this with this. Jinhyuk made a decision. Hey, you''re going to make Barrier your first job? Are you serious? The priest was startled and asked again. Until now, there have been plenty of players who cling to the conditions of the Hidden Job Quest. It was the first time a player said that he would do an unpopular job. Of course, it must be absurd. However, Jinhyuk nodded once more as if he was sure. Yes. Unpopular and tricky job. Exactly what I want. Although the field of barriers is very complicated, that''s the general case. ''For me, who is learning even the ancient runes and high elves, it is at a level that can burn a little bit of the will to challenge.'' Most of all, it was fun to tease Cheonyuseong with swordsmanship. It seemed like it would be even more fun to play with a barrier. ''Because he was also very well versed in barriers.'' Yes. This is the biggest reason. " I see. The choice is yours." The priest reluctantly handed him a black scroll. It was a scroll with the requirements for changing to a barrier company. But it was at that moment when Jinhyuk received the scroll. Whoops! Suddenly, a loud noise was heard from the temple side. It is undoubtedly a nervous battle for mana to bump into each other. It''s also a pretty strong opponent. ''what?'' Jinhyuk turned his head. Then there were other characters besides the Brawl Father Guild. main text main text CH 98 . Gray Temple (2) A sword cut across the face with a sharp impression. Players with Japanese swords on their waists and colorful tattoos all over their bodies caught my eye. what is this You don''t need to check it out. It was so obvious where these guys came from. ''Samurai Guild... .'' Jinhyuk''s forehead wrinkled badly. It''s because I could have guessed why they came here and why Kim Ki-tae was angry. It was then that the voices between the two groups grew louder. This is the dungeon we own. Surely, you haven''t forgotten? I know that, but as Team Leader Kim knows, don''t you always fail every time you fight? Wouldn''t it be better to hand over a labyrinth overflowing with fountains to those who can attack it rather than embracing it? A man with a beard and sunglasses shrugged. The words are politely spoken, but the content is the same as being completely watered. Puffy! Kim Ki-tae bit his molars. But there was no other objection. In fact, they have failed over and over again, and the Samurai Guild, by contrast, has been experiencing remarkable growth in recent years. By the way. Hmm. That''s weird. Jinhyuk scratched his head and interrupted. Everyone''s eyes turned to Jinhyuk. I... a man? It''s Jinhyuk Kang. It''s Jinhyuk Kang, the ranker of Korea! "Is it possible that it has something to do with the father-in-law side?" This is not good... The sound of breathing in a small amount could be heard from the mouths of the samurai players. Sunglasses came out quickly as the atmosphere became cluttered. This is another unexpected person. But, what''s wrong with you? "I heard that you didn''t continue to fail because of the lack of power in this area?" That''s what I said. Of course, you feel bad, but that''s the reality. I mean, that''s weird. From my point of view, your power is also poor. Well, it seems like I''ve been scraping it all in my own way. Are you just trying to face Medusa with that much member? If you put it all together, it''s not even half of Cheon Yoo-seong or Teresa, so you have too much confidence. Ah! If your hope for the future is to become a beautiful stone statue, I understand. What about Medusa in there? It''s just like a stone statue collector. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. Gee, now. We''re not good enough. Does that mean? "It''s not that I''m lacking, it''s that I''m not at all." What is lacking is a nuance that it is a little disappointing. That means you shouldn''t even collect one truck. Mi, it''s underachieving?! Damn it, say it! At Jinhyeok''s words, the faces of the players belonging to the Samurai Guild were severely distorted. Great. also! On the other hand, the side of the Brawler''s Guild felt the pleasure as if the 10-year-old congestion had gone down. You will regret that remark. No matter how low you try, there is a player in Japan who has climbed the Tower of Trials to the 30th floor. Unlike you guys, it''s ''real'' It''s a dead person. The tone of the sunglasses turned cold. Have you ever been to the 30th floor? Yes. The middle of the tower that no one has ever been to. He has experienced it. Based on his knowledge and experience, we will be the first in the world to conquer the tower. No one else, but us Japan. . He spread his shoulders as if proud of his sunglasses. Reading information about the future! Naturally, the feeling of exhilaration fills up and it is difficult to hide the excitement. However. Jinhyuk clicked his tongue as if it was ridiculous. ''That''s enough of a dog whistle.'' I haven''t even seen the shadow of a player since the 20th floor. A dead person who suddenly climbed the 30th floor popped out? Also in Japan? It can''t be. ''Still, seeing that he''s full of confidence, at least that guy seems to believe that... .'' That would mean that someone with the sunglasses is playing cute pranks. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. ''How dare you lie like that in front of me.'' I don''t know how the Samurai Guild was roasted and boiled, ''You chose the wrong opponent.'' I chose too wrong. Jinhyuk glanced at the players with the ''Eyes of Gluttony''. Several status windows flashed sequentially. ''Not this guy. This guy is crazy... .'' There is no one that stands out Just when you think so. Jinhyuk''s gaze stopped at one side. Name: Yamamoto Takeshi Gender: Male Age: 25 Level: 27 Strength 16 Dexterity 26 Stamina 23 mana 32 Stat Points you have: 0 Coins held: 25,853 Occupation: Onmyoji Unique Ability: Half Future Vision skill: Lv6 ''False Prophecy'', Lv5 ''Little sympathy'', Lv5 ''Yin-Yang Thing'', Lv5 ''Evil Spirit'' It was also this Now I know how he could tell a plausible lie. ''It''s half the future... .'' The power to glimpse the upper layers according to the skill level, Although the word ''half'' is attached to it, Future Poetry is one of the unique abilities that is useful in its own way. No matter how fragmentary or useless information may be. In any case, being able to predict a future that others do not know was definitely attractive. However. All of these are just stories of those who have never experienced the top of the tower. Seeing fragments you don''t want. In fact, seeing and experiencing the floor is incomparable in the first place. ''This is going to be fun.'' Jinhyuk looked straight at Takeshi. with a strange smile. Japan''s hope. A hidden card newly recruited by the Samurai Guild. One of the world''s top 100 rankers. All of these were titles that Takeshi would win in the future. Because the ability to see the future was the most important ability to climb the Tower of Trials. ''No one knows that my abilities are imperfect anyway.'' Giving you plausible information, and pretending to be a dead person who has been to a high place in the tower, you might be able to get the attention of a higher guild. Takeshi was sure. And in fact, that certainty paid off. I came from the Samurai Guild, the best guild in Japan. Takeshi didn''t tremble. Rather, he proudly said that he had visited the 30th floor of the tower. At the same time, he told a story about the tower that no one knew yet. Of course, in some cases it was wrong, but Takeshi was able to gain the trust of the Samurai Guild by guessing the big information hidden in the tower. ''If a lie is found out, that''s a long way off.'' And what about when you get caught? That''s all it takes to make a lie a reality. If the guild level gave support, it wasn''t that difficult to get stronger. Of course, your half ability will also grow, and eventually you will become a ranker who sees the real future. ''Yes. Is there anything wrong with ranker? They must have all been weak at first.'' If the Samurai Guild pushes you all the way, what are you afraid of? item. Experience. ranker. If I said anything, would you listen to me? However. The streak of winning and losing has stopped right now. By meeting a person named Jinhyuk Kang. '' what?'' Takeshi swallowed dry saliva. There are dozens of players around you, excluding yourself. However, Jinhyuk didn''t pay any attention to the other places. Besides, those delicately twisted corners of the mouth. It''s like a smile that knows everything. Dangerous. It was Takeshi who had been perfectly disguised up until now, but a feeling of insecurity that was unknown at this moment engulfed his whole body. But at that time. Hey. It''s a deceased person who has climbed the 30th floor. It''s really amazing. Even in various media and communities, little information about the 10th floor or higher of the tower has been released. Jinhyuk opened his mouth. You know it well. It seems that you understand the situation now, right? The sunglasses made his face even more eccentric. Yes. Now I understand a little bit. If there is such a person, of course, I think it is right to promote it on a global level. Fuhaha! Yes. There was a guy who could talk even among Koreans. No words. Well, let''s go first. We''ll follow. Jinhyuk took a step back. "It just makes things so easy." He said he''s a topical ranker. You can''t seem to even click in front of a real person. "After all, Korea is just a shadow of Japan 10 years ago." Thirty Japanese players took the lead. Only one. " " As much as Takeshi, as if something was caught, he could hardly take his footsteps. But it was only for a while. Soon after, all the players from the Samurai Guild entered the labyrinth. Then it was the side of the Brawler''s Guild who was bewildered. Go, Kang Jin-hyuk, player? "Are you saying you want to go with them?" Kim Ki-tae and Lee Young-kwon shouted at the same time. Of course we should go together. Jinhyuk nodded his head. He then posed a significant question. If we hadn''t made concessions, wouldn''t Kim Ki-tae have prevented them from entering the labyrinth? No, of course. We would have blocked it somehow. Then they will continue to breathe and live. Then it can''t be. Yes? Stand, maybe...? This time, an earthquake struck their pupils. He realized what Jinhyuk meant. "Like I said. I can never come out alive with that level of skill." How do those who believe in a fake future poem deal with Medusa? You probably didn''t know the strategy properly anyway, did you? A guy named Takeshi believed in only the power of the Samurai Guild. Conversely, samurai rely on Takeshi''s half ability. They said they would grab each other''s rotten rope and run to hell. It is enough for us to mutilate one step behind. Because the fools ahead of them in their pride will face all kinds of traps and monsters. At first, I was going to send Tyler with a nice word (?). I didn''t really want to push it into a trap. No matter how disliked it was, it wasn''t the only reason people had to die. However. If you don''t know the subject and put a spoon on someone else''s rice bowl... it means you''re willing to pay the price for it. cold tone of voice. The smirk and obedient figure had long since disappeared. A brawler and a samurai. A total of 62 raiders entered the labyrinth. [You have entered the labyrinth ''Grey Temple (Medusa''s hideout)''.] With a brief warning, the darkened field of vision brightened. Jinhyuk looked around. Flames gushing through the cracks. Various buildings and columns reminiscent of the Greek era were lined up. Of course, the most striking is the stone statues of people turned into stones. "First these are the players who challenged me." Damn it. It''s terribly wretched. Is there no way to get this back? "No. If we make eye contact, you can think of it as the end." ''Petrification'', which has an absolute judgment, cannot be undone in any way once it has been activated. It is not for nothing that many players have become the decorations of this labyrinth. Don''t worry. I already have a plan in place. He raised the shield the sunglasses were holding. A key item to attack this labyrinth. The relic ''Perseus'' Shield''. Yes. The reason why he stood so proudly as a samurai was that he had the confidence to recreate mythical battles in addition to the deceased Takeshi. However, Jinhyuk, who watched it, swallowed the burst of laughter. ''Did you just believe in that and come in?'' In any case, there are those who think that they can become that person if they find one used by a celebrity. If you find the program that Bill Gates used, you start Microsoft, Does your iPhone pop out when you look at an apple with a bite? ''No matter how good a relic is, it is of no use if the person handling it is poor.'' Of course, at an intermediate level, the word ''Templar'' worked. At least in the difficult ruins or labyrinths of the Tower of Trials, such words do not apply. This means that the item is only an auxiliary, not a fundamental solution. ''You work hard in front. I''ll take it easy on you from behind.'' Jinhyuk began to envision the overall version. But right then. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Suddenly, the subspace inventory vibrated violently. ''This?'' Jinhyuk quickly looked inside. A little while ago, the black scroll I received from the priest was reacting to something. At the same time. [The condition has been satisfied.] [The second perk for the ''first conqueror of the tower'' has arrived.] A golden status window appeared in front of me. CH 99 . Gray Temple (3) The first reward that gave lucky stats and adaptive stats. Then came the second reward. ''Is entering the labyrinth after receiving the 1st job change quest a trigger?'' Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva. Because the first reward was out of the norm to the extent that even the deceased was surprised. It was expected how good the reward would be this time. Yes. It would be a lie if I pretended to be calm here. I''ll check. Let''s mumble in a small voice like a whisper. T-tiring! [You have acquired the ''Moon Imprint''.] [This ability takes effect when the 1st job change is completed.] [Moon Imprint] Acquisition Difficulty: Unmeasurable (reward only for those who climbed the tower for the first time) Description: Reduces the activation time of all barriers by 25%, and increases barrier performance by 30%. In addition, if you acquire all the ''lost languages'' that were abandoned in the tower a long time ago, you will be able to learn ''nameless barriers''. This . crazy Jinhyuk, who was reading the status window, opened his mouth blankly. At first, I chose an unfamiliar job just to pursue a new interest. It''s a natural thing. For Jinhyuk, job is just a word added to the status window. Because I was able to get all the skills and the skills of the higher versions anyway. Therefore, the 1st job change is a light entertainment that will soothe boredom. It wasn''t worth more than that. However. Because of the status message now displayed. All of that has changed. In a heterogeneous field that could simply be a little more interesting. A new field in which every single cell in the body shudders. Jinhyuk''s gaze turned to the status window. ''Lost Language'' and ''Nameless Barrier'' These are the things I saw while climbing the tower. ''It was one of those things that I kept looking for, but couldn''t find a clue.'' At the time, it was very [Tower of Trials] I thought it was a mistake made by the management. I thought so. ''It was all an Easter Egg to give to the player who conquered the tower for the first time.'' Only now did I understand. At the same time, Jinhyuk''s heart started beating like crazy. pounding! pounding! pounding! The fact that I can walk on the pure white snow that no one has ever stepped on for the first time. And in anticipation that the end of the road is reality, not an empty game ending. The raid team quickly organized the monsters around the entrance and started going inside. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Various magic and skills changed the view in front of me. Aww!!! When the colorful mana came together, a huge explosion occurred. The inside of the labyrinth was just like a battlefield. Tanks, give the ship a lot of power and turn on both the provocation and survival skills! Keep in mind! Never let them bounce! The dealers should focus their firepower sequentially from the guys coming from the front! Those who can''t manage mana and talk shit, get ready for the bloody rice later! Indeed, they are the elites of a top-level guild. Not even a single wounded person was found against venomous cobras over 4m tall and gigantic anacondas that crush steel. Jinhyuk watched the scene where the samurai guild was fighting from a distance. ''I have quite a bit of assortment.'' We get along well with the engineering team members. The balance between the moves isn''t bad either. It means you deserve to be shouted out. let''s go If you have that skill... . ''one I can survive two hours.'' If you''re lucky, one or two might even survive for up to ten hours. Jinhyuk recalled a number of cases in his head. Now that it is stagnant and rotting alive, I was able to predict the ending just by looking at the situation. at that time. "How do you see them in the eyes of Jinhyuk Kang?" Lee Young-kwon, who was standing next to him, opened his mouth. Yes? How does it look? "It was literally a question of how their skills looked." Well. It''s not bad. It seems like you''ve done raids with your hands and feet several times. "But that''s not all, is it?" Lee Young-kwon asked again. As if expecting something to be added after it. It''s a textbook. It''s not bad, but it''s not particularly outstanding. What that formation is holding on to right now is that it just met the opponent well. Of course, the fact that Japan''s raid system is specialized in group warfare may also play a role. That means. Does that mean that there is a loophole in that square? it''s a loophole The problem is that there are too many. If you look closely, you can see five or six places, but can''t other people see that? If the opponent was not a normal monster. If it was a named class, the tank in the 3rd row from the left would have pierced right away. Can you see? The flow of mana flowing to the shield is slightly unstable? Mana usage is also increasing. It seems to be about 0.7%... that''s lethal. 0.7%. Even if it doesn''t seem like much. If the battle is long. Or, if the battle becomes intense enough to determine victory or defeat with just one breath, it is a number that can make a huge difference. " " Lee Young-kwon kept his mouth shut. ''also .'' As expected. Everyone watching is admiring the near-perfect Samurai Guild raid. Jinhyuk was the only one with a sad expression on his face, so I thought it was strange. It was because the players on the side of the father of Brawl who were actually watching the battle were busy bursting with exclamations. - It''s a textbook, but it''s nothing special. Even while watching a near-perfect raid, the tone that he spit out as if it was insignificant. -The tank in the third row on the left... The supporter''s mana . Even an eye to identify weaknesses in one battle. Yes. ''It''s a different way to see.'' Just like an ant crawling on the soil and a hawk flying in the sky are different. Even if you look at the same scene, the view is set differently depending on the level. ''The video uploaded on Viewtube didn''t reveal even the tip of the skill of a player named Jinhyuk Kang.'' Limitations of the compilation, not the whole. The highlight and reality to catch the attention of subscribers were completely different. Let the thoughts go there. Goosebumps all over Lee Young-kwon''s body. If this man is really... . Destroying all the players of that sassy Samurai Guild. The Sacred beast that the Brawl Father Guild had no choice but to suffer helplessly. He might cut off Medusa''s head. ''Is it possible.'' not possible. The labyrinth attack had only just begun. In Lee Young-kwon''s head, it seemed that the end of this raid was already in sight. Fierce battles and short breaks were repeated. How long has it been since you entered the labyrinth? A fork appeared in front of the raid, which was advancing without hesitation along the route pioneered by the players. From here on, there is a section where there is a blank of information. Captain of Engineering. It has arrived! At the scout''s words, everyone''s footsteps stopped. There are two paths to choose from. The left side had a bright view due to the flames rising from the floor. On the other hand, on the right side, it was dark enough to allow it to be attacked. Where can I go? sunglasses. No, Maeda, the commander of the Samurai Guild, looked at Takeshi. fire and darkness. The fact that future raids will be completely different depending on this choice. Needless to say, it was too obvious. " " Takeshi slowly rolled his eyes. to the left. to the right. And again to the left. ''shit. Wasn''t this the future I saw?'' A scene I saw through Future Poetry before coming here. There was definitely a fork in the road. It was different from the fork in the road right now. Because there were rows of columns instead of fire and darkness. Takeshi-sama? Meanwhile, a voice calling out was heard. Over time, doubts will turn into certainties. that . He licked Takeshi''s lips. I can''t hold back any longer. Now you have to make a choice. But right then. Yeah. You chose the left. A familiar voice intervened. It was Jinhyuk. left ? Awesome. It''s really an old man''s look. Considering the difficulty of the tower, you''d rather choose the right one, which looks rather dangerous. He self-proclaims that it''s a reverse idea. However, this labyrinth is a place where people with such fine hair are sent to hell. You still knew it. Jinhyuk made an expression of genuine admiration. His eyes twinkled and he raised his thumb. Yeah, yes. I also attacked this place in the past through that method. On the way to the 30th floor, this kind of fork often came up. A horn that often comes out. The Tower of Trials isn''t an IQ test. There''s no way you can design a trap using something like a reverse idea. Again, this game is a game. It''s not that the management team put so much effort into pursuing perfection, but that it was a game that was randomly created to fuck the dead people around the world. However, one thing has been confirmed. That the level of future poetry that this guy has is far worse than I thought. ''I think the tarot cards in the CGV movie theater are more reliable.'' It''s really just out of the ordinary. However, the words that came out of Jinhyuk''s mouth were far from his inner heart. Really ! There seem to be many places similar to this one at the top of the tower. "Haha. Player Jinhyuk Kang will be able to go someday too. Of course, we will be one step ahead." That''s right. It seems that there is exactly one step left before you guys enter the coffin. Then, shall we go back? Okay. Everyone moves. Takeshi nodded. Is the left one right? Takeshi-sama? Maeda checked it once more, just in case. That''s right. As player Jinhyuk Kang said. It is common to dig traps into traps in the Tower of Trials. ...that''s right. First of all, I get it. It felt like something was being dragged around, but Maeda couldn''t protest any longer. A player who accurately pinpointed the location of the dungeon hidden on the 5th floor of the tower, which has never been revealed anywhere. This is because the player whom the guild now trusts the most is Takeshi. The raid team hastened their steps again. However, along the brightly lit road, when the last player completely entered the passage. Whoops! Kukuku! Suddenly the flames started dancing like crazy. Lines dyed in red completely surrounded the players front, back, left and right. What, what? Didn''t I say the left side is safe? Well, I thought so... No, this is a common trap. Don''t worry too much everyone! If you don''t move, those flames won''t pose any threat. Takeshi tried to reassure everyone. Of course, it''s useless. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! As if to ridicule future poetry. Because the red lines are slowly starting to approach. CH 100 Gray Temple (4) Scratch! When it touched the extremely compressed flame, the iron shield was cut like a piece of paper. Hey, mana-infused shields can be shattered in one shot. Ahhh! What kind of laser level is this! That''s it. The fire stem was meant to cut, not burn. The problem is that there are hundreds of them. Moreover, the flames came from all directions at the same time, narrowing the distance, so it seemed difficult to even avoid them. ''Oh, what happened to this!'' Takeshi looked at Jinhyuk with bewildered eyes. Because it was none other than Jinhyuk who spoke as if the one on the left was the correct answer. Please, I hope you can tell me that this murder trap is just a performance and there is a way to solve it. However, Jinhyuk secretly avoided Takeshi''s gaze. Hey. I don''t know who it is, but they''ve brought the raid to hell. Isn''t this usually the engineer''s fault? It was even natural that he secretly shifted responsibility. suffered Takeshi felt the shock as if he had been hit in the head with a hammer. But there was no time to regret. Uh, you have to avoid it somehow! It should be avoided, not prevented. Because the tank''s shield couldn''t stand it, it meant that no one here could stop that stream of fire. shit! Everyone run! The players of the Samurai Guild quickly flew away. ankles and knees. Everyone was sweating profusely in order to survive the killing trap that was flying towards the back and neck. ''Anyway, newbies... .'' Jinhyeok, who smiled bitterly, took out a black scroll from the subspace inventory. And the seal that had been sealed was released. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo [The first job change quest of the barrier company begins.] To become a barrier company... . Various explanations were lengthy, but Jinhyuk skipped the status window as if there was nothing to see. As long as you know what to do, there is no reason to read the description. ''It''s about implementing a piece of barrier for job change. Don''t lie down and eat rice cakes.'' Jinhyuk focused on mana on the tip of his finger. Pants! A pure white spark occurred. Soon after, a huge and colorful pattern appeared in the air. It was a barrier engraved with runes. [Barrier ''Insufficient physical barrier'' is activated!] [You have completed the first condition of the former Quest!] Although the modifier ''insufficient'' was attached, a fairly plausible form of barrier unfolded. ''Before the job change, this is the limit.'' In order to change jobs to the original barrier company, you have to stay in the library on the first floor of the tower and learn the beginner runes for at least 6 months. Of course, it took much longer than that to use barriers that could be used in battle. Even Jin-hyeok, who was immersed in the game, took five years to learn the last stage, the ancient runes. ''exactly It''s definitely not an easy field.'' It wasn''t classified as an unpopular job for nothing. I chose virtual reality to escape from reality, but no one enjoys having to study day and night in the library. Go, Jinhyuk Kang, player, what the hell is this... Is it magic...? No. Something is different. Is this the first time you''ve seen that text message? Young-kwon Lee and the rest of the players were bewildered by the sudden appearance of the rune. They have also seen barriers that are sometimes activated through skills, but This is the first time I''ve seen a real barrier triggered by an official rune like this. However, the sentiment did not last long. Because the streams of fire are approaching right in front of you. No skill or ability against that. We have to move too. Lee Young-kwon threw his shield and armor on the floor to lighten his body. But. It''s fine. You can just stay still. Jinhyuk looked at the barrier that surrounded the players in the shape of a cube, and relaxedly folded his arms. Go, be still. What does that mean? Lee Young-kwon asked, but Jin-hyuk only smiled meaningfully. And that moment. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A stream of fire hit the barrier. ! Wow! The players screamed. Thinking that the body would be amputated with the barrier. By the way. uh? What is this. Are you okay? There was no scratch on the surface of the barrier. no. Not at that level. The stream of fire stopped at the surface of the barrier and started to move in the opposite direction. To the players of the Samurai Guild who are jumping and jumping even at this very moment. Oh, sorry! One more to go there. Jinhyuk slightly raised his right hand to apologize. Unbelievable . An earthquake occurred in Lee Young-kwon''s pupil. Surprisingly, the rest of the people watching were the same. Hey, you''re throwing that out. I can''t believe it. There must be a player with a reflector-type skill. Reverse... City S-class is on a different level. I knew Jinhyuk was amazing through various videos. Korea''s 16th S-rank ranker. He is the master of the Black Cloud Guild, as well as Cheon Yuseong called the Sword Demon. A monster with a Hong Deok-pyo stamped on it. The pioneer who conquered the 4th and 5th floors for the first time. Even the achievements listed one after another were enough to stick out their tongues. However, seeing it with your own eyes is a completely different genre of story from what you simply hear through video or words. pounding! pounding! pounding! Everyone''s heart was beating fast. A sense of stability just by being with a top ranker. In front of the barrier was a limb, but the thought of danger was not as high as a fingernail. But right then. I''ll see you soon. Jinhyuk moved. It is trying to get out of the barrier. Ugh!? Come on, Kang Jin-hyuk player! Wait a minute! Yes? The trap isn''t over yet. That''s right. It''s dangerous to leave now. With an urgent voice, Lee Young-kwon pointed out with his finger. There were players of the Samurai Guild who were dying horribly. He was trying his best to avoid the stream of fire coming from the front and back, but it seemed difficult to hold out for long. Oh. was that story I''m incredibly good at timing things, so don''t worry about it. In fact, if you dodge it 300 times in a row without a single grainy wound, I''ll give you an item. [It''s a burning flame.] Gives special items that will be useful later. This is a pretty high-end copy... . how. Do you have a brave person to challenge with? Jinhyuk smiled and looked around. Fine. Go, Kang Jin-hyuk, please collect a lot of players. We''ll just take a look from behind. Cancer. Even if they give you a hidden item, no one is willing to step forward. Anyway, these days, newbies don''t have the guts. Whoops! Jinhyuk lightly loosened his joints and went out of the barrier. Dozens of streams of fire have gathered, but it is cute enough for a deceased person who has already memorized all the patterns. To the fast-tempo music playing in your head. ''Judge. Beat me please!'' Jinhyuk began to move in earnest. ''Three left three three right three. Next, I had to run 1m forward and roll, right?'' There were gaps where one person could barely pass. This time I have to go through it. If you make even one mistake, you die. Even so, there was no tension in Jinhyuk''s face that a human should naturally show. "Haha I really have nothing to say." Lee Young-kwon muttered with a disappointed expression. He also proved his worth in the gladiator arena on the 5th floor. He also received great expectations from various media outlets. ''I can''t even imagine.'' Measured movements and confidence that can be felt from afar. And beyond all that, to the attitude of enjoying this situation. I never thought that I could surpass my opponent in any field. ''That''s why Team Leader Kim Ki-tae said that we should be willing to bear the loss even if we lose.'' In fact, Lee Young-kwon heard one thing before coming here. A request to give up all the benefits that the Aviation Guild can gain in this raid. At first, Kim Ki-tae also said that he wanted to place conditions in an advantageous way for the guild, but soon decided to see a bigger future. It''s a story that''s hard to accept. Rewards, honors, exclusivity. If the second largest guild in Korea had to put it all down, who would be convinced? There are cases where large corporations are greedy, but there are cases where they never give up their advantages. But the reason. ''The executives were wise.'' Lee Young-kwon was able to realize this very urgently at this moment. The flames were extinguished after 30 minutes. ''After all, sweat is a reward.'' Jinhyuk fiddled with the strangely-looking red jewel. as soon as [It was a burning flame.] ''It''s going smoothly.'' Everything went as planned. Now, if you just deal with Medusa, all the materials that can be used to make ''that item'' will be gathered. There wasn''t much left to reach the goal. by the way. ''How many people do you want to survive?'' Jinhyuk, who put items in the subspace inventory, moved his gaze to the Samurai Guild this time. Heh heh, heh heh, heh heh. My my arm! I don''t have my arm! Ahhh! Yo... Yoshida is dead! Damn it! Let''s start by identifying the injured and the dead right now! I mean, don''t rush and move! Of course, the situation is not good. Among those who came in with confidence, not a single one was healthy. The situation was that only Maeda, who had excellent skills, and Takeshi, who he was desperately protecting, suffered only minor injuries. After all, watching a burned-out house is the most fun. Even more so if that''s the house of an ugly bastard. Please take care and pray for the well-being of the deceased. This barrier is only for 30 people, so I couldn''t let them in even if I wanted to send more. Jinhyuk approached the Samurai Guild and offered her heartfelt condolences. "This you damn child!" Maeda jumped up from her seat. Maybe it''s because my eyebrows are scorched by the heat. The fragrant smell vibrates. Yes? With an innocent face, ''Yes?'' Don''t talk bullshit! The fact that none of the Koreans were hurt means that they knew about the existence of this trap and what to do about it! Am I wrong? I knew a little bit about it. Does that matter? No, is it a problem? Say that now...! Isn''t that right? Accept the insistence that you come with us to the labyrinth monopolized by Father Fighting. Also, while you were on the 30th floor, whether you were a dead person on the 30th floor or Nabal, you were giggling for a bus ride, and then you fell off a cliff and were smashed. I don''t know if I''m paying. Shut up! Still, we are dying right in front of our eyes, and what we do not save is what garbage people do. You have no sympathy whatsoever! It sounds like sympathy. The loading dock is also oily resin. Being able to spit out such bullshit in a row is also an area of talent. but. understand it "Originally, if you eat a lot of radiation, your mind can come and go." In movies, if you get gamma rays and show plutonium, you become a superhero. In reality, you have to be lucky to get bald and usually end up with leukemia. How hard would life be? what? Maeda was at a loss for words at the shocking remark. With a blank expression on his face, he pondered for a few seconds whether he had heard it properly. Hey, how dare you say such a thing. Crazy. Don''t you know that this could be a diplomatic matter! Diplomatic issues? Jinhyuk''s eyebrows were curved in the opposite direction. I must have misunderstood something. "I am not a politician." It''s diplomacy or anything, it''s something the upper-class people care about, it''s not for this person to know. finally. You shouldn''t be rude to me. The trap here isn''t over yet. Jinhyuk sighed coldly. At the same time. kukukuku! The scattered flames began to gather in one place. A moment in the blink of an eye. The flames surrounded by layers suddenly formed a single shape. Shh! In the form of a giant snake made of flame. CH 101 Medusa Raid (1) 1. 50% of raids will be killed by traps. 2. One of them must clear the trap without any damage to obtain the ''Burning Flame''. The fire-drinking snake was a trap that was activated only when both of these conditions were met at the same time. The interesting thing is that this guy is named. The other guys in the labyrinth are also aware of our existence. Hey, what is that maybe? Maeda''s pupils dilated rapidly as she listened to the explanation. Still, he was quick to notice that he was an engineer. That''s right. It means that we have to deal with this guy as well as Medusa at the same time. Unlike other labyrinths, the Gray Temple had the characteristic of moving the boss monster instead of being in the room. Well, by looking at the stone statue near the entrance, it would have been easy to infer that Medusa could freely roam the interior of the labyrinth. Of course, no matter how much you thought about the possibility, you wouldn''t have expected that you would have to deal with a named monster and a boss at the same time. right then A sharp sound rang out. Keiei! It is large enough to reach a 10m high ceiling. A red-blazing snake looked at the players and stuck out its tongue. Anyway, I can''t be a yangban. When you see people talking, you can''t stand it and interrupt them. Yeah. Even if you''re not so fussy, I won''t ignore you. Jinhyuk raised his head. [Fire Drinking Snake] Level: 55 Description: Medusa''s pet snake. Its whole body is made of flames, so all physical attacks do not work. In addition, it can vomit the fire it has built up in its body, but it has a power reminiscent of Dragon''s Breath in a small area, so be careful. Jin-hyeok, who activated ''Eyes of Gluttony'', read the detailed description of the subject. Level 55 is on the low side, but it should not be taken lightly. This is because it can only inflict damage with magic attacks and has a small breath that boasts the highest efficiency in a straight passage without cover. Ah, I haven''t even repaired it yet. Maeda''s voice trembled. According to the state of the Samurai Guild, which was almost destroyed, it was impossible to deal with that snake. Far from forming a formation, everyone didn''t even have the strength left to lift weapons or armor. Ugh... Takeshi also had an expression on his face as if he was about to lose consciousness due to fear. It seems that this scene did not exist in his future poem. great. This seems to be sufficient for the directing aspect. Now that you have grasped the topic, shall we do the calculations again soon? What? What are you doing? What are you surprised by? The relationship between the two has been decided, of course, we will have to write a new contract. Take over Perseus''s shield first. Wouldn''t it be better for me to use it than the one who doesn''t know how to use it? Pearls on a pig''s neck are a luxury. Especially if your life is at stake. Jinhyuk suggested a chance to live. However, Maeda was not willing to accept those words. Dog, don''t bullshit! What is this... no, damn it. Some idiot handing over relics for free! Yes? that''s sad Still, I gave him one last chance because he was the same person. You can''t do it if you kick yourself. Then, let''s retrieve the shield from the corpse. Jinhyuk coldly drew the last line. At the same time. kukukuku! Any moisture in the air began to evaporate. Her lips were dry and her skin was also pale. The view through the stiff eyes. It was a fireball in the serpent''s jaw. [''Fire Drinking Snake'' activates Lv15 ''Flame Infusion Spear''!] Blood, avoid! Maeda exclaimed urgently. But where are you going to escape? Is this a straight, straight passage? Wow! Sa, save me! The instinct of wanting to survive somehow and the reality of never being able to survive were mixed. That moment. KwaKwaKwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa! A red sphere condensed into a single point crossed the passage. come! How the hell do you do this...? Wrong. The players of the Fight Against Guild, including Lee Young-kwon, opened their mouths blankly. It seemed that nothing could stop the coming stream of fire. But right then. [Lv8 ''Glacier Formation'' is activated!] A huge ice crystal appeared in front of me. It was Jinhyuk. When the glacier modeling was overlaid on the barrier, the pure white runes took on a bluish light. Defense using the properties of the poles. I don''t know about Dragon''s Breath. It was able to block the fire stream the snake used. The side of the father who fights with this is safe. Shit! Maeda also hid behind Perseus'' shield. Pants... . The effect of the relic was activated, and a pink curtain spread around Maeda. However. The range was too small compared to Jinhyuk''s barrier. Because there was only one thing that could barely protect two or three people. Everyone took a deep breath. At the same time. Fear swept the aisle. Chi profit! A haze that rises along the ground. The players of the Samurai Guild, who had turned into charcoal, were scattered as a handful of ashes. It happened so quickly that I couldn''t even feel the pain. However, it may have been fortunate that he died instantly. Uhhhhhhhhh! A scream escaped Maeda''s mouth. I had horrendous burns all over my body. At least he had some skill in handling mana, so his life was at stake, and for an ordinary player, it wouldn''t be strange if he lost his breath right away. That''s why I told you. It''d be better to pass up the relics you don''t use well. If I had paid the full amount, I wouldn''t have had to die. Have you ever dug your own grave? If you want to resent yourself, blame yourself. sympathy? It doesn''t cost anything like that. Because it was the guys who crossed the line first. In addition, due to the trait of ''relentless heart'', it became even more merciless to the target it recognized as an enemy. Maybe all of this was a defense mechanism to save the majority. To survive. To climb to the top of the tower and prevent the destruction of mankind. I had to get rid of everything that got in the way. ''I''ll have a few minutes before the next breath comes, so before that... .'' Jinhyuk approached Maeda just before he lost consciousness. And he breathed cold air into the shield that had fallen on the floor. with thick smoke. The surface of the shield that had heated up red became cold. [Shield of Perseus] Acquisition difficulty: S (red) Description: A hero in mythology. This is a relic used by Perseus against Medusa. Although it is a shield that boasts overwhelming defense power, Athens, the owner of this shield, also valued the qualification of the person using the shield. Depending on the skill and potential of the player, the shield''s stats are also differentially applied. The reason why, despite being a relic used by the highest level divinity, it could not even block the breath used by snakes. This is exactly why. ''Only those who have proven themselves can handle this shield. Well, that''s what it means.'' Jinhyuk grabbed the shield tightly. hot and I could feel the hot mana rising from my fingertips to the top of my head. The shield is responding. Unlike a while ago, as if roaring the joy of meeting the right owner. That was then. "Everyone, what the hell are you ?" Thanks to being behind Maeda, Takeshi, who had no wounds, opened his mouth. The voice trembles violently. I had no choice but to do so. He used the half future poetry he had, but he couldn''t get a glimpse of Jinhyuk''s future. ''No matter how imperfect my abilities are, I have to show even the slightest future.'' No matter what it looks like a few hours later. Or even a few decades from now. This means that one point should be verifiable. However. For some reason, Jinhyuk''s future was dark as if it was covered by a blackout curtain. I don''t know why. What is certain is that this man is unlike any other player I have ever met. Answer me. You. What does this have to do with the tower? Why? It''s strange that you can''t understand it even with those handsome ''eyes''? Jinhyuk smirked. ...! You, you know about my abilities? Seeing through a unique ability that has never been told to anyone until now. What the hell is this going on? I can''t believe it. That power, that ability. It''s not a realm that humans can do. Yeah. No matter how much you think about it, this is impossible. Yeah, that''s right. Jinhyuk shrugged as if it was no big deal. And he casually added a word. Because I am one of the beings at the top of the tower. One of the beings at the top of the tower? Takeshi pondered the words slowly. But it was only for a short time. Because that meant only one thing. no way ! Was it like that? Then everything made sense. The absurd powers and abilities that the opponent possesses. And even the future that cannot be seen in future poetry. entire. ''I''m not human... It was divinity.'' Takeshi saw the divinities in some unknown place in the tower through future poetry. Those beings whose atmosphere trembles with just your voice and the ground splits with a single gesture. It was so far from reality, I never told anyone in the guild, but I''m sure I''ll meet one of those noble beings in person. There is no chance of winning with a body like a human. Just by going against the feeling of divinity, existence itself will be turned into nothingness. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart was pounding like it was going to explode. It felt like my body was about to collapse. "I, I dare to die " Takeshi shook his head with a pale face. It makes me sad to see my whole body trembling like an aspen tree. ''Fuck!'' Jinhyeok, who saw that, barely held back the laughter that almost exploded. It was genuinely dangerous. It almost exploded. ''As expected, peek into the upper floors of the tower, so it''s easy to be deceived.'' divinity is a horn. ''If I were a god, would I be toading up one floor at a time?'' Would you have made an elevator from the 1st floor to the 50th floor and flew at high speed? They said that if you have a bad head, your body suffers. There is nothing wrong with what the old adults said. However, Jinhyuk tried to cover his expression calmly. Considering the position this guy had in the Samurai Guild, it was because he had something to use in the future. Oh. Wait a minute before that. Kee-e-e-e! A second breath was fired. A terrifying fire approaching, burning everything in the aisle. However, this time, Jinhyuk stopped the fire with one light gesture. [''A plausible attribute barrier'' is activated!] [You have achieved the second condition for the 1st job change!] Aww! Ice and fire collided head-on, creating a thick vapor. All of this was thanks to the linkage between the skill and barriers of the upper poles, but in the eyes of Takeshi watching, it must have been the power of God itself. Wow, as expected...! Don''t be surprised by this. Can I ask you one more question than that? No, of course. Anything! I came down because I was curious about the ecology of humans, but there are still a lot of things I don''t know yet. The rules of the tower are quite annoying. Don''t let them move arbitrarily, no matter how divinity it is. They limit their power by saying it''s a probability or a restriction. There''s nothing like pointing out a rule that your opponent doesn''t know about avoiding annoying explanations. I don''t know. ''How do you know what I don''t know?'' It''s a manga game whose probability and balance are so broken, so even the people who made this won''t know what they made. So throwing anything works. As long as that guy believes in me as a god. "In that sense, I would like to ask you a favor." Jinhyuk brought out the main point with a smirk. CH 102 medusa raid (2) divinity (divine). It refers to the absolute beings that exist in the tower. They used to contemplate humans from up there, looking for useful talent. Just to expand their realm on the upper floors of the tower. By the way. To be able to receive the favor of that divinity! Takeshi''s body trembled slightly. As if he couldn''t control his ecstasy, the corners of his mouth were also wriggling. ''This is an opportunity of a lifetime.'' It must be a saying all over the world that you have to stand in line well. If Giyeon came, it was natural to catch it. ''Indeed, that was the reason why he was unusually strong.'' It didn''t make sense to pass so easily that even the rankers of a large guild failed. It was a level that broke common sense at all to do it alone without the help of other players. However. All the discomfort was dissolved as soon as the opponent revealed that he was one of the divinities. It must be some kind of entertainment. ''The gods are beings that cannot be judged by human standards.'' KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Even at this moment, building an ice barrier and blocking breathing was nothing but admiration. Moreover, on the other side, isn''t another barrier protecting the players of the Fighting Father''s Guild? The worries didn''t last long. I was convinced which side would I have to take to survive in this crazy world. If it''s a request, may I ask what you''re talking about? Your guild said that they picked up a fun toy a while ago. That why. Hey. To be cherished as one of the three sacred gods in Japan. Stand, please...! That''s right. No way. That''s what I want. Relics obtained by attacking ruins in the Samurai Guild. Kunashi''s sword. In other words, the 셲년. bring it ''Cause I''m very greedy Ha, but, it''s stored deep in the guild. It''s difficult to access unless you''re the guild master... Takeshi blurted out the end of his words as if in trouble. Relics are treasure number 1 of each guild. It is a symbol of power that can never be surrendered. Of course, security must be strict. I know it''s not easy. But, if I''m the person I choose, it''s ''not easy'' Shouldn''t I do it? The important thing here is to gently scratch the opponent''s stomach. You are a special human being, so you have to do that. The noble divinity gives praises with a squeaky sound, but there is no one who does not want the wind to enter the lungs. Thank you for looking after me, but... passed a little Now, as a finale, shake it up with a story that goes beyond your opponent''s imagination. It is often used when selling goods or making a contract by using a lot of jargon to get the other person''s soul out of the way. It is also quite effective in this case. Right now, the Nordic hammerhead is playing a chess game with a wolf cub on whether it''s Ragnarok or Nabal. But unexpectedly, we''re behind. Thor, the Primary God of Norse mythology. Ragnarok, the final war that announces destruction. It was a story that would catch the back of the neck when the Nordic divinities heard it, but I don''t know anyway. If you get hot, come down here directly. Should it be said that it is difficult for any country to exert its power in a place where the world tree is influential? So, as many relics as possible are needed. her . Takeshi opened his mouth blankly at the overwhelming content. But it was only for a while. Okay. Black... I''ll save you somehow. Trust me. Yeah. And before I go, I''ll give you a special stigma. To be precise, it is the stigma of the soul spirit. "It''s a kind of contract, but it''s not very dangerous. If you betray it, it will just burn you alive. But it doesn''t matter that you won''t betray, right?" No, of course. Takeshi nodded with a stiff face. Now, I had no intention of betraying you. Who cut the golden copper cord himself? It doesn''t hurt as much as it looks, so don''t be afraid. Jinhyuk put his red index finger to Takeshi''s chest. [Lv5 ''Stigma of Souls'' is activated.] A sharply engraved red stigma. great. With this, on the Japanese side, a faithful intern at the deceased company was born. I''ve made a slavery contract with my soul, so it''s no use realizing that I''ve been deceived. Then go away. I''ll take care of this snake. Jinhyuk turned around. There, the snake that had already exhaled the fourth breath was shaking all over. The temperature of the flame became very lukewarm due to pouring a huge amount of mana one after another. Kie-ee! Did you take a lot of drugs? The fire-eating snake let out a sharp scream. ''Still, you said that you are a god of fame, so I can''t show you struggling.'' I paid a lot of attention to imitating the tone of the middle and high school students. If you can''t be overpowered in a fight, what kind of dog is that? Sreung! visor! Jinhyuk slowly pulled out his twin dragon swords. A dazzling anticipation shone on the blade. ''It can be finished in one shot... .'' there is one The skill that locked up the Named on the 3rd floor at once. Because mana consumption is huge, I couldn''t use it carelessly. There is nothing like this to show off your presence. Jinhyuk gathered mana. Pants... ! The blue mana that covered the entire blade. An indescribable light began to encroach on the passage. Kie-ee! Even the snake felt that something was unusual, so he lowered his posture a lot. And at that very moment. [[Glacier modeling] ''Sword of the Sky'' is activated!] A stream of ice falling from the sky. [[Glacier modeling] The ''Sword of the Earth'' is activated!] A stream of ice rising from the ground came into contact with one another. No more flickering flames. Before everyone''s eyes, there was only a huge pillar of ice that had the shape of a snake. Wow, that''s awesome too. Takeshi swallowed dry saliva. overwhelming power. Now, even the named monsters on the lower floors of the tower could not even be a place for Jinhyeok''s post-meal exercise. That''s how strong it has become. Thanks to the best giyeon and growing up through the best route. ''Not bad.'' Jinhyuk looked at the ice statue with an expressionless face. Takeshi''s eyes were contorted with astonishment, but the result was not surprising to Jinhyeok, the person who was watching. ''It''s the 2nd round of tea, but of course, this level of power should come out.'' If this is not enough, you do not have the right to say that you are a deceased person. Why aren''t you going? Oh, no. I''m just... worried about what they''re going to do with them... Takeshi''s gaze turned to the players who were beyond the barrier. He seems concerned that someone is eavesdropping on this conversation. Because I had to be the only one to receive a favor. Anyway, he''s a guy with greed up to his throat. So it was easier to deal with. Father''s side manipulated the barrier to block sight and sound, but if you see me talking, you''ll think it''s strange. We''re not close enough to chat, are we? Jinhyuk added a brief explanation. In other words. It means to turn it off before anyone sees it. After all, the Japanese players were wiped out, so no one would be surprised if Takeshi ran away. Ah... that deep meaning! I see. Let''s leave right away. Takeshi nodded his head. And he disappeared along the way he came. At the same time. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The barrier that covered the ice sculpture disappeared. The cut off view returned, and the players of the Brawler''s Guild walked out of the barrier. Everyone ready for battle! Damn! Everyone focuses on attack skills... huh? Hey, how did this happen? Ugh! I can''t do this. Snake, snake...? Everyone''s pupils dilated as if they were about to burst. After Breath unfolded, I watched the white letters suddenly appear, and after that, nothing was seen and nothing was heard. It''s like being trapped in an airtight box. And after a while, when the box finally broke and everyone came out of the barrier, so much had changed. Kang Jinhyuk player... did you get rid of it? Lee Young-kwon asked Jin-hyuk. In fact, I was asking the question even though I knew the answer. Yeah. It''s more comfortable to deal with this guy alone than to fight with a group of people. "That it was." A monster that wiped out the elite raid of a large guild in an instant. You knocked it down by yourself? And without a single wound? ''How strong is this man?'' Lee Young-kwon, who was exclaiming in surprise, bit his lip tightly as if in anger. ''We are It can''t even become a folding screen.'' Just a ticket to legally enter the labyrinth. To the opponent, the meaning of the Raid of Brawl Father was nothing more and nothing less. It was also an indirect invitation to take a look at the bus quietly from behind instead of taking you on the bus. pudding! His fists trembled in anger and shame at himself. However, no matter how angry he was, it was an undeniable reality. It is because Lee Young-kwon himself knew better than anyone that they would only get in the way if they came forward in this raid. Uh-huh. First, let''s do some raid maintenance. Let''s talk about it again later... But that was when Lee Young-kwon was about to speak. self! The sound of something quickly rubbing the ground resounded. It''s a light yet creepy move. ''Are you here too?'' Jinhyuk quickly raised his senses. The thinly captured mana spread widely around the body. Ugh. Then through the pillars. You''re a human being that my pet''s attacks don''t work. Besides, they''ll even find my location. It''s fun. It''s been a long time since I''ve been this excited. A shrill voice intervened. That is, the master of this labyrinth and the magical beast that is said to be a heroic story in myths. It was Medusa. Bo, it''s the boss! Damn. Don''t make eye contact! The floor! Look to the floor! The anecdote that if you meet Medusa''s eyes, you will turn to stone was so famous. Nevertheless, the reason why this labyrinth is not easily attacked is that it is difficult to deal with it even if you know the opponent''s abilities. Kill the boss without making eye contact? How easy is that? Do you have to fight with the most important senses sealed? It is said that it may not turn into a stone by looking at the reflection on the shield, but it is the same as having to fight with a handicap. After all, the core of this raid is one individual, not multiple raids. It was up to Jinhyuk. It''s you. That human? Medusa looked at Jinhyuk and smiled. The reflection on Perseus'' shield was quite bloody. Huhuhuhuh. Don''t look through that cold piece of iron and see for yourself. It''s not polite to avoid Lady''s eyes. You sound like a lady. Even if Medusa looks like a young lady, don''t be fooled by her appearance and think she''s friendly. Because it has the traits of a snake, when it preys on its prey, its mouth is torn horizontally. I will refrain from ravenous ladies who devour people whole. I can understand one chicken per person, but one snake and one person are scary. Mom. You seem to know me well. I know it well. How can you not know the unfortunate princess who lost all her sisters? at that word, You guys. ahhh... . The air changed rapidly. CH 103 medusa raid (3) In Greek mythology, Medusa is known to have two more sisters. The immortal gods Steno and Euryale. ''In fact, they are stronger than Medusa.'' Therefore, the divinities of Olympus, thinking that their mighty power could be a threat in the future, buried the two sisters in the depths of the volcano. Burning alive and not dying forever. while cursing their own bodies. Of course, all these things are not in myth, only [These settings exist only in the Tower of Trials.] But should we now say that the original source is rather a lie? ''It''s ironic in a way. Well, that''s basically what life is all about.'' Fiction is transformed into reality. And in the distorted reality, appropriate strategies must be applied. Just like right now. "How dare you put those words in your mouth!" kukuku kuk kuk! Medusa''s body swelled with ferocious flesh. Big! Ugh! Wow, what mana... The players of the Brawler''s Guild who were around took a deep breath. The energy that constricted my whole body was so heavy that it was hard to even lift a finger. Like a one-day puppy standing in front of a tiger. Even with a single mana divergence, the momentum of the fight was decided. Rumble! The players did not even think of raising their swords and shields with their heads down. However, only one. ''It can''t be broken like this.'' Young-kwon Lee bit his molars. The tower of ordeal has arrived and it is only two months into the situation. No matter how much they leveled up and went around the dungeon, they had no choice but to be young chicks who had just taken off their tees. It means that he still lacks the determination and experience to fight with his life. That is why not everyone can be brave just because it is a prestigious guild. ''Know. We''re also lacking.'' However. Humans are adaptive animals. When given an absurd situation, it grows according to it. I mean, you can''t just keep making weak noises all the time! Attack them all at once! Never back down! Lee Young-kwon shouted. When the unique ability ''one-management (һy)'' was activated, a golden cloud dance spread around Lee Young-kwon''s body. [Raid morale is increased by 30%!] [All ATK and DEF increase by 10%!] The dazzling energy removed Medusa''s life and encouraged the engineering crew. It was then that everyone grabbed their weapons. Damn it. It''s going to die like this anyway! Yes. We also have pride. We can''t leave everything to player Jinhyuk Kang. "After all, I entered the company through a competition ratio of 1000 to 1!" All kinds of magic turned to Medusa at once. It was a blow that poured all the mana into the game with the thought of winning the match at once. The dazzling lights flickered all at once. Aww! Whoops! Huge craters formed on the marble floor, and debris fell from ceilings and walls. A thick layer of dust rose from the spot that seemed to have been subjected to carpet bombing. Evidence that enormous mana was concentrated. However. That''s all. No matter how much he used the best skill he had, it was not enough to inflict damage on the mythical beast. "Really, humans are a disrespectful race. Can''t you see I''m talking to that cheeky kid right now?" Medusa did not hide her annoyed emotions. Suddenly, a red flame was burning from the whip he was holding in his hand. Wedge lover! The whip that reached out in an instant was directed at the tanker in front. Huh? The tank reflexively raised the shield. Are you going to stop it? Did your eyes see this body as an idiot that can only use petrification? The power of a snake that can crush even the spine of a beast at once. That was another ability that Medusa possessed. The whip completely wrapped around the tanker''s body. That''s it. Quad Duck! Aww! The shield, as well as the iron armor, collapsed in one blow. Naturally, the person inside had also become so mangled that it was difficult to recognize the shape. Thick blood gushed out. Medusa, whose body was dyed red, warned the players. Don''t take the chance to dare to intervene in the subject of prey. Uh... Tae, the tank can''t stand one attack... The morale that had risen due to ''batch leadership'' disappeared like snow. yea that''s the way it is It''s no use even if you pour out all your firepower on this one. Conversely, the opponent crushed the tank with a single light gesture. It''s a fight with no win. If you keep trying, it''s just like hitting a rock with an egg. Just leave the trash. You don''t even have the right to be an ornament for my temple. The whips rushed once more. To wipe out the remnants who have completely lost their fighting spirit. ''No matter how hard you try.'' Lee Young-kwon kept his mouth shut. By the way. kwaaang! The whip that stretched out in a straight line bounced off something. The weapon, which was too heavy to be ignorant, was blocked so lightly. Oh. In Greek schools, don''t teachers also teach not to bully weak children? Jinhyuk with a shield clicked his tongue. I was going to prepare a trap to catch Medusa after entrusting it to Lee Young-kwon if I had time to pay. Looking at the level difference, I thought that only corpses would pile up. Oh, thank you for saving me. I''ll take care of the angry earthworm. Chief of engineering, take the engineering members out of the labyrinth. Right now. Jinhyuk drew the line once again. Those who are helpful in raids. If there is, it is of no help whatsoever. Among the two, he told us which father to fight belonged to. " " Young-kwon Lee trembled in helplessness, but it was only for a short time. It was arrogance, not courage, to invoke Ogi here. I thought I could figure it out on my own. I wish you luck. Kang Jinhyuk player. Lee Young-kwon bowed his head briefly. Medusa did not move until all the raiders had retreated. It''s an uninteresting prey. instead. All the attention was focused on Jinhyuk. Is the angry earthworm talking about me? Haha. It''s hard to tell the difference between reptiles and arthropods because I''m from the Department of Literature. Isn''t it similar because they crawl around? Hey. If you make me angry, I won''t be able to die nicely. Do you think you''re going to keep making fun of your snout? I''m sorry, but I don''t think I''m going to die here. Actually, I don''t think it''s dangerous enough to die. Jinhyuk died. On the other hand, Medusa''s face had changed even more harshly than at the beginning. Why are you deliberately provoking? Simple. The last condition to change to a barrier company. That''s because the boss monster is captured inside the barrier. And for that... . [Medusa activates Lv19 ''Gorgon''s Territory''!] huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A mana that spreads wide enough to cover the entire temple. Yes. It was essential for Medusa to activate this skill. '' I got caught.'' A skill that slows down the characteristic anomalous movement instead of maximizing the attack power. The ''Gorgon Territory'' is a double-edged sword. Of course, from Medusa''s point of view, she must have thought that a single human movement would not be able to injure herself. I''ve made countless people into stone statues so far, so I''m full of confidence. ''By the way, do you have such a word?'' It just kept winning. It''s just that I''ve met my opponent well so far. You shouldn''t be arrogant about what you''ve learned from newbies. Cute! I''ll melt you alive and eat you! Medusa spewed a purple liquid. Since Gorgon''s Territory buff is stacked, the acid liquid has the power to instantly Curse anything it touches. ''After all, you''re aiming for the bridge.'' Is it because of the tendency to want to eat fresh prey? Medusa always aimed at the target''s legs. Jinhyuk concentrated mana on both legs. fault! When ''The King of Sword Demons'' appeared, Jinhyuk''s new model disappeared like smoke. Jinhyuk moved over Medusa''s head one step faster than the speed at which the acidic liquid hit the floor. Jinhyeok, who perfectly grabbed his back, stretched out his palm. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Ancient runes began to appear in the air. [Barrier ''Coffin of Seal'' is activated!] Of course, to create a barrier that can trap the boss monster, a fairly tricky technique is required. So, I have not enjoyed using barriers in battle. This is because it was not easy to control the layout of runes or the amount of mana before changing jobs, no matter how old and deceased Jinhyeok was. A blue curtain wrapped around Medusa. Do you think you can dare stop me with such a glass wall! Medusa swung her whip as if it were plastic. KwaKwaKwa Kwa Kwa Kwa! One of the barriers was smashed with a roar. ''Hmm.'' Again, it''s too much to create a barrier to trap the boss with just a few seconds. At the very least, you will need the time in minutes, not seconds. if so. Jinhyuk has dismantled the use of ''Sword Demon King''s Bo''. At the same time, he strengthened his arms using the ''Giant''s Grasp''. Eat! From Medusa''s mouth came a scornful scorn. Because the reinforcement series, which simply increases the strength, was an ability that was too easy to deal with from Medusa''s point of view. I''m going to fight head-to-head... His expression softened slightly and his tone of voice softened. I didn''t stop thinking about killing him. It must be close to the meaning of eating while playing with leisure like before. Even beyond the reflection of the shield, his intentions were deeply conveyed. Does it look like you''re done running away like a fly? Just say what you do. Pretentious tone, I can''t get used to it. Fufu. Don''t be too cold. I was angry because you stabbed a sore spot. Medusa laughed softly. By the way, what are you going to do with those weak arms that you strengthened? I don''t think you can beat me just by using one skill, don''t you? Are you weak? Jinhyuk tilted his head. well. I''ve only used this skill once, but it''s far from being weak. Above all, gap stats and adaptive stats are now active. The giant''s grip was far from simply raising a grip. ''Even if it''s too far away.'' Jinhyuk slowly stretched out his hand. poles in contact with the fingers. right at that moment. Whoops! A finger digs into the stone, and a whole pillar over 5m is pulled out. "Looking at you, it seems that the lady is also quite confident in power struggles. By the way, I am not pushed anywhere." So let''s give it a try. Which one can play hotter? Hey, what an ignorant...! Medusa raised her head with a look of boredom. kwaaang! Pop! Jinhyeok wielded the pillar, and Medusa smashed the pillar with his whip. It is simply a battle of power and power. Obviously, yes. I''m sure it is... . ''what?'' Medusa felt a strange sense of discomfort. A question that was sticky all over the body. The reason was soon revealed. '' Can''t live on the attack?'' Yes. The pillar wielded by the opponent was just faithful to the purpose of wielding it, and he did not feel any obsession to kill the enemy. Come to think of it. no way? Medusa''s pupils narrowed. You, like a squirrel...! with a sharp shout. Through the shield, I could see the opponent smiling brightly. I''m not stupid at all, but I''m sorry. Couldn''t you have noticed it a little sooner if possible? He activated the card that Jinhyuk had prepared. CH 104 . Medusa Raid (4) Using the giant''s grip to wield a pillar is a kind of performance. To catch the other person''s attention and distract them. ''The best way to deceive others is visually.'' The corner of Jinhyuk''s mouth went up. It is not for nothing that magicians captivate the audience with their beautiful beauties and flashy outfits. And if you pierce the gap made like that. No matter how much I am a boss monster, I can only eat one shot. Uh, before I knew it you were playing with me like this! Medusa looked down and bit her molars. Runes drawn in blood. It was a technique painted with the blood of a tanker who died a while ago on his shoes. Medusa tried to flee quickly, but it was already too late. It''s too late. I made it specially for you. If you can''t confine it with a medium-sized barrier... . That''s all it takes to use the entire land. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A huge rune drawn on the floor emitted a splendid light. It won''t be easy to break. It''s a natural thing. Because it was different in size from before. huuuuuuuuuoooooooooooooooooo [The 3-star barrier ''Sealing Coffin'' is activated!] A phrase that appears only when the correct process and the correct mana match. For the first time, the barrier with the surname is activated. great. Jinhyuk nodded his head as he looked at the beams of light emitted from it. I was a little worried because I was drawing with my feet. It seems that the body remembers it well. Isn''t there a saying that even if the form dies, the class is eternal? Trapped inside the square barrier, Medusa screamed. Aaaaah! Can''t you solve this right now! bang! bang! bang! bang! bang! The barrier didn''t even budge even after swinging the whip and shooting it down with its tail. So you said that it won''t break easily. Don''t lose your strength for nothing, stay calm. Actually, there is a way to destroy it, but if you do it with ignorance and force, it won''t even get scratched even after a thousand years. The barrier is a delicate thing. Jinhyuk glanced at the air. Now that the boss monster is locked in, a status window should appear indicating the success of the Quest. Just then. T-tiring! Several status windows appeared one after another in the air. [The third condition has been met.] [You succeeded in the first job change at the barrier company.] [Because I succeeded in trapping the highest level boss monster among former Quests, the ''Hidden Job'' is activated!] [You have changed to ''Rune Interpreter'', a high-ranking job of Barrier!] Unbelievable ! Yeah! I knew it would be like this! Jinhyuk let out a burst of cheers as it was. There was a saying to lock up boss monsters as a condition of the job, but there was no clear mention of how strong the boss should be. Naturally, like beans sprouting in a drought, the players who choose the barrier company searched for the weakest boss in the third condition. A goblin or slime on the first floor. like play. Relatively easy to catch. ''Yes. That''s the boss.'' Few people choose the difficult path over the easy path. However. The dead don''t go the way others go. Even in situations where there is no information. more difficult. I tried to find a way that is expected to pay a little bit more. the more difficult the situation. The more everyone is reluctant. Because I instinctively knew there was a bigger reward. And that assumption was exactly right. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart was beating like crazy. I had no choice but to do so. For 11 years after Tower of Trials was released, there was not a single player who changed job to Hidden. When dealing with Medusa, the most difficult difficulty in the Gray Temple that gave the former Quest. I expected to give additional compensation to the job change. Maybe that will lead to the Hidden job. ''This is something I didn''t know.'' However, whenever someone hits the back of the head comfortably like this, it''s a Shadow. Jinhyuk clenched his fists. ''First, I''ll have to check the contents.'' Since it''s a Hidden job, of course it should be good, but you have to read the details yourself. gulp! Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva and began to read the first line of the status window. [Rune Interpreter] Acquisition Difficulty: Overrank Description: If barrier can build barriers using existing runes, rune interpreters can realize the essence of runes and reinterpret them to create barriers that did not exist before. Realizing all things through runes. That is the essence of the ability of an interpreter. The barrier created by the Rune Interpreter has twice the performance of a normal barrier, and it will not be easy for anyone other than the person who created the barrier to understand the structure, let alone destroy the barrier.] her . excellent. There were only words that came out. What do you like the most among them? The point is that this job meets the most lovely conditions for the deceased. The best conditions to be tough! ''It is very difficult to destroy... .'' A playful smile formed on the corner of Jinhyuk''s lips. At the same time, countless scenes flashed through my mind. Lock the guy you don''t like in a barrier and drop acid rain, good for hair loss, drop by drop on your hair. Spread the barrier on the treasure chest and look at the screaming opponent. Well . It would be fun to block the toilet after taking laxatives. ''In the case of Elise, you can put chicken and beer inside the barrier.'' Cheon Yoosung... Shall we seal the sword-like thing he cherishes inside the barrier and put some medicine on it? It seemed like a lot of fun too. Of course, there won''t be any backstabbing. You may not be able to do everything you have in mind. ''Still, there must be an infinite number of methods that can be used.'' One choice to get interested in the tower rolled and rolled, creating a huge ripple effect. Furthermore. [''Moon imprint'' will be engraved.] tsutsutsu! With a short message, a white engraving came to mind from Jinhyuk''s wrist to his shoulder. A medium that enables barriers to be activated with minimal mana. With this, the first job advancement was all finished. Big... Good good. very good. It was when Jinhyuk was reading the status window while exhaling exclamations. "What are you going to do with me?" Medusa, trapped in the barrier, murmured. Huh? ...are you going to kill me? The look that had been so strong was suddenly gone. Now he looked like a mouse in a poison, full of worry and fear. that would be scary If you do this, you will lose your life. Jinhyuk smiled meaningfully. Well? I guess I should cut off the head and make some suitable armor with snakeskin? I heard that there is a lot of demand for armor among players these days. What, what? At the eerie words, an earthquake struck Medusa''s pupils. what will be your end And hearing about how it will be used posthumously isn''t a very pleasant topic of conversation. At least for Medusa. I''m joking. But if you keep being loud, you could really get a new snakeskin wallet. It is common sense to kill the boss monster when clearing the dungeon. experience and rewards. and even items. Because what you can get is limitless. But. The gray temple has less merit compared to other places. When leaving the temple, Medusa''s head loses its petrification ability. This is because armor made of snakeskin remains poisonous and causes continuous damage to its owner. Of course, there will be other rewards in addition to experience points, but . There is a better way than that. Jinhyuk activated the ''coin exchange''. What you need... let''s go In a brass bowl, 1 liter of Trihorn goat''s blood, 6 hind legs of a swamp millet, and a blue lotus flower? [I paid a total of 3350 coins.] Most of them are cheaply available. The expenses were not large. Anyway, the number of views of the recently uploaded videos was also recording 10 million units. Then the first thing to do is... gurggle! Jinhyuk poured goat blood into a faded brass bowl and floated a blue lotus flower on it. Finally, the hind legs of the swamp millet were placed on the edge of the lotus, one each. Then that moment. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The brass bowl began to vibrate violently. I wondered if the red surface would flow over. It soon became quiet. [This is really It''s ridiculous.] It was then that a deep voice was heard. After the man sighed a little. added a word. [Kang Jinhyuk player. How the hell did you get this contact information?] The owner of the voice is the librarian of the Magic University Library and the owner of the top. It was Rick Hennessy. Huh? I just bought this and that and mixed it up, but why did it end up like this? Haha. This is really weird. It''s just a coincidence. Jinhyuk smiled mischievously. I wrote this method. It''s like walking into someone''s room without an invitation. But what do you do? The gate to enter the library is closed, so you have no choice but to do this. [That doesn''t answer my question, but... . tell me This contact information has not yet been disclosed to divinity, how did you find out? I need to know how.] Rick''s voice grew cold. It seemed like he had no intention of jumping over it like a hole in the wall. if so. Ah! Come to think of it, there is a certain beast here! Jinhyuk suddenly changed the topic. [ ] ?] Rick paused for a moment. The way to communicate using items was to share the view of one side, so what Jinhyuk saw, Rick could also see. Come on, let''s open it soon! Jinhyuk looked at Medusa, who was curled up inside the barrier with a gloomy expression on her face. OK. [Huh? I, that monster... !?] I could hear the wind rushing through Rick''s throat. also. ''I thought you might be interested.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s mouth went up slightly. If it has anything to do with the Greek side. Whether it is a relic or a record, there is a divinity that people and even magical beasts are obsessively collecting. Rick was quite close with that divinity. If it was Made in Greece, even a single toothed jar would make your mouth water. How much more can you save the living Medusa? Talking any more makes my mouth hurt. Rick, who is quick to calculate, must be thinking the same thing. It''s definitely wrong that I contacted you all of a sudden. Still, it has its own reasons... If you''re upset, I''ll leave this story out of the way. For me, the by-product of Medusa alone can be enough. Jinhyuk breathed mana into the twin dragon swords. Pants! As the ''Tomb of the Sword'' appeared. The sword was dyed with a silky color. [Come on, wait! Please wait! You must never kill it. never!] Rick exclaimed urgently. hey Do you think this is the first time this uncle has seen such an urgent appearance? It''s so far away it''s crazy If it had been in front of me, I would have run with the wind of pants. I''ll ask you one last time. Jinhyuk''s sword pointed towards Medusa. The way I got my contact information. Do you still think that''s important? CH 105 . How to train a pet (1) The transaction was made. Of course, the place to trade is not inside the labyrinth. I''ll go there. I missed the cup of coffee I drank in the library. After all, good coffee is best enjoyed in a cozy place. Jinhyuk said something he didn''t mean. By the way. [Hmm. If that''s the case, I''ll open the gate that comes this way... .] Rick wiggled his tail. What? Does it sound like you are thinking about something? There was hesitation in his voice. However, it was only for a short time. [Fufu. no. Surprisingly, things might turn out to be fun. Even if it''s someone else, if you are Jinhyuk Kang, you deserve to come here.] Rick muttered something meaningful. what? Did you even redecorate the great library? Jinhyuk tilted his head. right then huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A huge gate appeared in front of me. ''This ?'' Jinhyuk''s forehead narrowed narrowly. It looks different from any other gates I''ve seen so far. The base made of pure white ivory and the golden mist fluttering in the middle looked unusual at first glance. ''It was like that.'' Now I understand what Rick meant. Before going to the village of the elves, I was planning to spend some time wandering around the dungeon downstairs. ''It''s fun.'' It didn''t seem like it would end at the level of just making a deal. Jinhyuk took a step forward. As soon as I crossed the trembling surface of the gate, my vision was immediately blackened. huuuuuuuuuoooooooooooooooooo When the darkened vision became brighter. The view I saw had completely changed. Endless desert. Under the blazing sun, a city with a brilliant ancient civilization unfolded. Hey... Jinhyuk let out a dry breath. It feels like my lips are already burning. Just then. Welcome. Jinhyuk Kang player. I was waiting. Rick in a black suit greeted Jinhyuk. anyway. Can''t you give up your suit even in this scorching sun? Just looking at it makes it all the more hot. I thought I was going to the Grand Library, but I didn''t know that the gate would lead to a place like this. Are you enjoying your vacation anywhere? Jinhyuk pretended not to know and trembled. "Hahaha. I wish I had a vacation, but I came here for work. Why do you know? Egyptian divinities that Jinhyuk knows well. This is the place where they are. They also wanted to meet Jinhyuk. Should I say it''s pretty good? Yes. The 42nd floor of the Tower of Trials. This is the upper part of the tower that players do not even dare to imagine. And that I was invited here. It must mean that they lied about being protected by the Egyptian divinities in the past. ''Is this what I want to see stunned among the divinities?'' ''Or do you want to see how you deal with the process?'' I don''t know which of the two is the purpose... . well. No matter what you imagine, the result will be different than expected. Follow Rick''s guide and enter the city. Many eyes were focused. not human The body was that of a human, but the head was an eagle, snake, cat, jackal, etc. ''You can already see the inhabitants of the 42nd floor.'' Jinhyuk reminisced about the past and fell in love with it. Normally, it would have been a long time since I had come to the floor, but thanks to Rick, I had a pretty interesting experience. It was also the first time I met divinities in person before I even hit level 100. While Jinhyuk looked around like that. The residents also looked at Jinhyuk as if it were a strange thing. Hey! Hey! Look at that. Human. Hey. I''ve heard that humans have entered the tower, but they must have already come this far. Looking at you with Rick, it looks like you came through the gate? It''s amazing. To get the manager''s approval. You mean you''re special among humans, right? "Maybe he came to get a ''choice''." already? The roar grew louder. ''It feels like a zoo elephant.'' Jinhyuk smiled bitterly, and Rick, who was walking next to him, opened his mouth. I''m sorry. You''re coming here for the first time, so I wanted to give you a little tour, but it seems like you''ve gotten too much attention. No. It''s fresh and nice. What is the view from the 42nd floor? no need to do it Because it was a very familiar place. I know the 13th flowerpot in Anubis'' bedroom is a fake, but I''ll have to pretend I''m a naive newbie. no one else knows It wasn''t very pleasant to be suspicious of Rick, who was like a squirrel. By the way. Didn''t the Egyptian divinities say they want to meet me? Yes. That''s right. When I see the inspiration smiling mischievously, I don''t think it''s a good reason. After finding out that Jinhyuk was defrauding him for being protected by them... Hmm. Let me tell you this. Rick pointed to a corner of the desert in the distance. The crater dug in the flat ground was quite impressive. At that time. It was the site of the Sphinx and the Pyramids. Short past tense sentences. So. It means that when you get angry, you go out and destroy the entire main room of your house. When Rick finished speaking, he looked at Jinhyuk''s reaction. or frightened before the power of overwhelming divinity. Expecting you to regret what you''ve done. However. It''s a pity. There must have been quite a few treasures, so why did they break all of them? Because there are more people there anyway. Jinhyuk just clicks his tongue. There was no sign of any fear. "Jinhyuk-sama aren''t you afraid?" The opponent is a noble divinity. He is the absolute ruler of the upper floors of the tower. On the other hand, Jinhyuk was just a player who had just entered the tower and climbed the lower floors. Comparing the two objects may be contradictory. nevertheless. Well. Should I be afraid of the 42nd floor instead of the 50th floor? Jinhyuk smiled brightly. What the hell is this confidence? As if even God could handle it. That arrogance pierced the sky. It would be ridiculous at this point to have thick guts. But why? Rick didn''t think that confidence was so absurd. I don''t know why. just. It was only the instinct that was built up by going through countless existences that said so. Puhahaha! Indeed! As expected, Jinhyuk never disappoints. It''s fun. It''s really interesting. I''ve been getting tired of living like a treadmill for a long time, but I don''t think living a long time is such a bad thing. Rick burst out laughing as if he was genuinely satisfied. From the moment I first saw you, I was certain of one thing. The charm of a player named Jinhyuk Kang will not fade easily. This time, I tried to create a difficult situation and try to confuse the opponent... . Again, it did not disappoint. I don''t know why, but I have that feeling. It''s a strange feeling that Jinhyuk-nim will be able to come here someday. It''s strange. It''s strange. What do you mean? "I thought I might be able to come here in the not too distant future." indeed . It''s still the down word. The corners of Rick''s mouth went up even more. Chuckle! I''m looking forward to that day too. Of course, I''d like you to bring a bigger deal than Medusa at that time. After that, the two exchanged casual conversations. In the meantime, I was able to arrive at the palace built of white marble. This is where the Egyptian divinities reside. [It is a white oasis.] I''ll be in and out in a moment. I have to let the guards know we''ve arrived. Yes. Do it. Jinhyuk gave a short answer and wet his lower lip with his tongue. ''Before meeting people with high retardation, I must prepare a little.'' Since we had predicted what kind of event there would be, it was necessary to prepare accordingly. ''Even if I''m a dead person, I meet divinities, but I can''t bump into them naked when I meet them.'' Jinhyuk activated his personal status window. Currently holding 2,153.188 coins. ''Path of Choice'' on the 5th floor It was the result of videos or previously uploaded videos that consistently brought revenue. It was an amount that had to be compared with the coins owned by the entire large guild. It was absurdly insufficient to buy items that could resist divinity. But it doesn''t matter. ''It''s not like I''ve been obsessed with coins since when.'' If it''s not enough, you just have to find a solution by yourself. There is a way only the dead can do. Jinhyuk quickly started purchasing items on the ''Coin Exchange''. I don''t know what to say about this. Really... Fuhaha! Why? I''m just having fun. Don''t be stupid! Have you already forgotten how much I suffered because of him? Several voices came and went inside the palace. It is an energy that cannot be matched with one another. yea that''s the way it is Because the people in front of Jinhyuk now were revered by the name of ''God''. An absolute person who can bring down mountains with just a gesture and influence the entire tower with his words. Those who dared not look directly at them were the people. However, the divinities, who had not always lost their leisure, were now perplexed. Horus, who is absurd. Interesting Osiris. Of course, Anubis had suffered a lot, so his anger was at the top of his head. And at the center of it all was Jinhyuk. Is it an unreasonable request to receive an ''egg'' kept here in exchange for handing over Medusa? Considering Horus-sama''s collection, I don''t think it''s a bad deal, right? Jinhyuk shrugged. I don''t know where I picked up about the existence of eggs, but it''s not something that humans can afford. Horus drew the line. It was a natural story, but he didn''t even pretend to consider it at all. Well. Anyway, I''m pretty good at taming wild animals. There are no bad animals in the world. There is a method suitable for taming a pet. To treat a Mythical beast as a normal animal. No matter how much you don''t know, you''re too ignorant. Horus let out a short sigh of relief. On the other hand, Osiris stroked his chin and his eyes twinkled. It was quite interesting to see them boldly demanding from them as well. Why? Give it a try. Do you think it would be fun? Osiris! No, you won''t be able to hatch him, let alone tame him? So let''s just pass it on. If you don''t like that, just take Medusa away altogether. kukuku kuk kuk! Osiris gently revealed his power. In an instant, the air began to freeze. Indeed, divinity is at a level that causes disaster just by lightly expressing emotions. As the situation started to get worse, Rick, who was next to Jinhyuk, took a step forward. Heh heh. Surely you''re not saying you''re going to break the rules of the tower in front of this old man? Player Jinhyuk Kang came here as my guest. It''s okay to play with humans, but please do it within the limits set. Oh. I was just kidding. I know. About that damn rule. At the word of the law, he scattered all the mana that Osiris had gathered. right then I don''t need it all. Anubis, who had been grinding his teeth from the beginning, came forward. kuung! A mummy over 2m tall appeared in the air. The bandages that wrapped around his body were typical of a mummy, but the mana flowing from his body was not pushed by any other dungeon boss. Five seconds. If you hold out for just five seconds against my opponent, I will exchange Medusa and Mythical beast eggs for whatever you want. If this is the case, it won''t be against the law. How. How do you accept the condition? Anubis spread her fingers. You only need to hold out for five seconds, are you saying this? Yes. But keep in mind that a battle can take your opponent''s life at any time... There was no end to Anubis'' words. The moment there was a gap between dialogue and dialogue. It was because the sword strike that crossed like lightning swept through Mira''s body. Kie-e-e-e... The giant mummy''s body was split in half. swaying The upper body, which had lost its junction, fell behind her back. The inside of the palace fell into silence. Then, I''ll take it as meaning that it doesn''t matter if I kill you. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. CH 106 . How a dead person trains a pet (2) I knew from the moment the gate opened that Anubis would be in the palace. As long as the ugly hair is clogged, they will try to force it. It must have been a difficult task. sure. ''Tower''s Law As long as it exists. He still won''t be able to touch me directly.'' Then, the only option left for Anubis is to present an opponent. Jinhyuk''s head turned rapidly. ''Cards that Anubis can use as opponents are: [Wake up Mira] There''s only one.'' Against a player who has not even reached the 10th floor, it is impossible to bring out an out-of-standard opponent. In the line of narrowly matching the limits of the system, the best thing to choose is only that one guy. Once I got to that point, the next step was so easy. You''ve seen your opponent''s hand, and it''s almost like making a countermeasure. Don''t eat it cold. After Jinhyuk manifests the divine series ''Blessing of the Stars'' and ''Tomb of the Sword'' at the same time. Dropped the ''Blood of the Royal Family'' purchased on the coin exchange. An item that boasts the highest efficiency in dealing with the mummy, which was created to protect the pharaohs, the royal blood. In other words. it''s a counter Jinhyuk was sure. No matter how strong the opponent, if you use a power that has the effect of the opposite. that you can fill that gap. And the result. kuung! That''s it. The completely shattered mummy rolled on the floor. He collapsed so futilely that he could not even make a proper attack. A heavy pavilion that dominated the interior of the palace. Moments later, the silence was broken by an exclamation full of surprise. Hey, this can''t be... The player on the 6th floor only defeated Anubis'' opponent? Horus and Osiris'' mouths widened and opened. The result completely exceeded expectations. Even the party Anubis was not aware of the situation yet. How did this happen... Anubis stuttered. The humiliation received on the first basement floor of the Tower of Trials. A wound caused by his opponent''s tricks when he was dealing with Pendariel. Finally, even the anger that ate up their protection against Rick. I thought I could pay off all my debts at once. However, The confidently prepared fighter is now rolling on the floor. Standing up is an abominable human being. I will take mythical beast egg well. Of course, since it is an important item, I can choose it myself, right? Jinhyuk smiled brightly. Stop making funny noises...! Anubis! It''s a promise you made yourself. You haven''t forgotten that, have you? Anubis is about to shout. Horus, who was beside him, stopped him. It was a deal under the name of Egyptian mythology. But, in a duel that even the tower''s middle manager, Rick Henish, witnessed, divinity itself can''t win the result? That would be the laughing stock of all the other myths. Damn it... Anubis reluctantly stepped back. Grinding his molars and growling, but that''s all. When the situation calmed down, Horus spoke again. Don''t keep your promise. Mythical beast egg is stored inside, so I''ll guide you right away. However, keep in mind that you cannot give another egg just because it fails to hatch or tame. Of course. I didn''t expect a return or refund policy from the world of the gods. Jinhyuk shrugged. It''s such a casual face It was as if he would not even put the option of failure on the table at all. ''Is that why Rick brought you here?'' Horus nodded slightly. I was wondering why Rick, who is known for being strict among middle managers, has such a preference for that person. It was only now that I began to understand little by little. Understanding soon led to conviction. Horus'' yellow eyes turned to Jinhyuk. ...if it is you, you will come to this place someday. It is a gaze that pierces the essence. It''s like looking at some point in the future. How about? When that time comes. Why don''t you choose one of us and become the resident who rules this floor? A suggestion thrown lightly. However, the weight of the proposal was never light. Horus! Are you serious...! Both divinities reacted violently at the same time. I had no choice but to do so. Now what Horus said. Because it meant that he would use the ''choice'' he could only do once for Jinhyuk. Obviously, the sea admits that the cotyledons are different. There was no denying that. However, it is still too weak to choose a force. What does this mean for a rookie who is just starting out? However. no. Jinhyuk opened his mouth slowly. Rejection! This time, even Rick, who was watching, including the three divinities, couldn''t help but be surprised. It was because it was the first time he had ever kicked one of the heavenly fortunes by himself. Jinhyuk raised his head with a calm face. Not an endless desert. Above the sky where the sun is floating. [50th floor of Tower of Trials.] the highest point of the tower. It is the place of the last sanctuary that even the divinities did not dare to approach. I''m sorry, but this is not my place. I have no intention of procrastinating. to see the end once again. To conquer the top of the tower once more "I have to go higher than here." must be successful of many players. Being able to climb this tower to the end... . Because I was the only one A treasure trove located inside the palace. Treasures collected by the Egyptian divinities were piled up like a mountain. You will be dazzled by the golden stone statues and colorful jewels. But. Jinhyuk didn''t even pay attention to them. What I needed now was not the usual gold or jewels, but something much more valuable and important. right then Rick, who was walking next to Jinhyuk, opened his mouth. At first, I thought that I could give Jinhyuk-nim a rare sight. The opportunity to come to the top of the tower doesn''t come very often. There was a strange bitterness on Rick''s face. This is probably because of the self-esteem. However, thanks to Jinhyuk-nim, I was able to see a rare sight. That''s why I don''t know about world affairs. A chance to see a Mythical beast egg. It was a kind that players, of course, even middle managers could not easily catch. This is because the superlative ''Mythical beast'' and ''spiritual creatures'' were difficult to deal with even divinities. But do you actually see it? Rick looked at Jinhyuk with his eyes filled with complicated emotions. ''This is so... .'' It''s hard to see a reaction like this already. How much more am I going to be surprised at this level? ''Come to think of it, in the past, I was very attracted to Mr. Lee.'' I think it''s true that you don''t know what the world is. Who knew Rick would come out so low-key? When he realized the completely reversed relationship between A and Eul, Jinhyuk felt a strange feeling for nothing. That was then. It''s here. Horus, who was leading the way, stopped. inside the warehouse. I saw a place where runes and ancient languages were spread out layer by layer. Three eggs were placed on the golden altar. green. red. Black color. Eggs of different colors and appearances. Which one would you choose? Ah! I don''t know what''s inside these eggs, so I don''t think you need to worry about it. It''s no use even if you know the identity. Whatever you choose, unless you know how to hatch it, you won''t be as good as a stone lying on the roadside. Anubis and Osiris spit out one word at a time. Anyway, I''m doing it anyway. The two guys seem to want to see me frustrated right away. That would be fun. What could be more fun than watching your destination fail and fail? ''Pray for a hundred days to perish. It would be faster for the desert to turn into the sea.'' Jinhyuk passed the cheap provocation over one ear. When I thought that the sound of dogs was also a lullaby, I felt at ease. ''First, I''ll have to figure out exactly what''s in the egg.'' Firstly. green egg. [Lv5 ''Eyes of Gluttony'' is activated!] [Due to the level difference, only some information of the target can be viewed.] [Green Egg] Name: Grass Spirit Hesimius Acquisition Difficulty: SS+ Contents: It has healing powers and can survive for about 100 days even if the supply of mana from its owner is cut off. Hesimius is a spirit of grass that specializes in recovery... Well, it''s not a bad pet. It can be used as a dedicated heal pack, so you don''t need a separate healer. Of course, you will be able to challenge dungeons that are higher than your skill level. However, this guy has no taste for raising. Basically, I can''t even speak, so should I say that there is no response no matter what I do? I''ve raised this guy once before. Rather, it was more interesting to grow weeds in the mountains behind. ''This is a pass.'' Efficiency is also efficiency, but at least you have to be able to nurture it with affection. It''s just not fun if it''s too hard. Jinhyuk used his skill again towards the next egg. [Lv5 ''Eyes of Gluttony'' is activated!] [Due to the level difference, only some information of the target can be viewed.] [Red Egg] Unnamed: Fire-spitting cat ''???'' Acquisition Difficulty: SSS Contents: It uses fire-type abilities... . ''I see less and less information.'' It was an unavoidable result because the difficulty of acquisition increased. No matter how good luck stats and adaptive stats are, there are limits. However. Jinhyuk was able to figure out the identity of the subject with just a single nickname. ''If it''s a cat that vomits fire. Mythical beast Kiriya.'' This is also not a bad option. Kiriya was one of the most loved pets even in the second half of the tower, as she paid a decent price for a meal as a secondary dealer. However, this guy had the disadvantage of being too harsh. The story that feline Mythical beasts don''t even know their owners is a fact that is widely spread among the divinities. ''I have no choice but to send you this time.'' Elise alone is enough to stick to the tick. Thankfully, he tamed a habit in the beginning, so he became very docile. The relationship between the picky cat and the butler, who has to do everything he wants, is a specification. ''It would be nice if the last one was something that the shortcomings could afford... .'' Jinhyuk''s gaze turned to the black egg. please. Oh God. ''Starting tomorrow, I will make donations steadily and will not make fun of newbies.'' Jinhyuk offered a prayer to a plausible divinity on the top of the tower. Then he used his ability one last time, holding his breath. [Lv5 ''Eyes of Gluttony'' is activated!] [Due to the extreme level difference, only some information of the target can be viewed.] [Black Egg] name: ??? Acquisition Difficulty: ??? Contents: However, it can only be hatched in one way. done! Jinhyuk, who looked at the status window, clenched his fist. I''ve always wanted to have it. At the same time, a pet that has never been obtained is sleeping in that black egg. CH 107 . How to tame a pet (3) or warm to the appropriate temperature. Or stimulate it with a special item. Although there are usually two or more methods of hatching eggs. Only one. ''Ancient species'' as much as There was no way to hatch them other than the one set method. ''Thank you. For giving me this gift.'' Jinhyuk expressed his sincere gratitude. At the same time, his fingertips turned towards the black egg. Then tremble Anubis'' body trembled thinly. I hope you will After all, I chose the best one out of the three eggs. It wouldn''t make sense to think of it as a coincidence. However, Anubis only moved slightly. He didn''t seem to be very upset. it is certain Believing that only humans would know how to awaken an ancient species. But what about it? ''Do I know how to awaken the ancient bell?'' Jinhyuk''s mouth turned upward. At least in this world, there are no variables that embarrass or frustrate me. Even if the object is a great divinity. -Ancient species are not even easy to come across, so little information about them exists. However, some secrets about the ancient species were revealed by the great explorer ''Pesis''. Some sort of geek? Pesis loved exploring the tower. Unlike ordinary residents, the curiosity about the other floors and the desire to find out about them were different. And thanks to that pioneering step. Jinhyuk was able to figure out many secrets about the tower. ''Actually, aside from me and the divinities, he''s the resident who knows the most about the Tower.'' He''s probably on the 20th floor by now... . I''ll have to see your face again later. eating. Jinhyuk, who was lucky, grabbed the black egg. [Lv4 ''Communion'' is activated.] The ability to make people feel familiar even when they see them for the first time. When I was in the labyrinth, the reason I kept Hana Park alive was to acquire this skill. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A bright light gently wrapped around the egg''s surface. pounding! pounding! pounding! The heart of something inside the egg began to beat rapidly. Oh. Rick''s eyes narrowed as he watched. The mere movement of the egg of the ancient species, which does not respond in any way, was more than enough to draw everyone''s attention. Jinhyuk took a deep breath. ''Let''s be calm.'' Attracting attention through sympathy is only the beginning. The important thing is to succeed in subsequent steps without a single mistake. Jinhyuk activated the ''sympathy'' skill and slowly stimulated the lower part of the egg with ''glacier modeling''. ''If you activate Star Blessing at this time... !'' A faint energy fluttered from the left side of the egg. Flick! Flick! Al''s reaction intensified. ''Yes. It''s so appetizing you can''t stand it, right?'' Yes. There is only one way to hatch and tame an ancient species. It draws attention as mana, their main energy source. Of course, any mana could not satisfy their needs. Simply because a strong or huge mana was easily bored. ''That heart, I fully understand.'' No matter how delicious food is, if you eat it all year round, 365 days a year, you will get bitten. Whether it be chicken, pizza, or ramen, it must be the same. if so. ''I will train you with various types of mana.'' If you have a buffet filled with thousands or tens of thousands of foods, you will never get tired of it. Moreover, if the buffet was first-class, it would be more attractive. Jinhyeok manifested ''Tomb of the Sword'' and ''Element of Fire'' in turn. Heavy and thick mana and hot mana tickled the egg. Flick! Flick! Flick! Now the egg began to run wild as if struck by lightning. From the guy''s point of view, it would be like putting the acid and seafood in front of his nose. Give up and quit. By this time, you know ''There is no other owner who can satisfy you other than me.'' And let Jinhyuk activate the mana of ''Taecheong Hwarang'' and ''Daylight''. Whoops! Finally, a crack occurred on the surface of the egg. Hey, this can''t be... I can''t believe it. You can really hatch an ancient species. From the mouths of the three divinities, an exclamation filled with complex emotions erupted. " " Rick just stared blankly from his seat, as if he was at a loss for words. However, Jinhyuk focused his attention, ignoring the startled reactions. Because what''s important now is not the divinities, but what kind of ancient species come out of there. after a while. Kyao! The ancient bell that emerged from the egg roared slightly. Appearance resembling a reptile with a size of about 1 m. His amber eyes were constantly twitching over his black skin like obsidian. gulp. Dry saliva ran down Jinhyuk''s throat. ''Is this too offensive to taste?'' no seriously. I want to run to you right away, hold you in your arms, and give you intense love. But I''ll have to be patient. As long as he hasn''t officially engraved it yet, he''s just an extremely dangerous ancient species. If you carelessly touch or hug him, your life''s end credits will go up as it is. Jinhyuk focused on the mana of the skills he has used so far on his fingertips. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo I thought that the typified mana would form a round shape, but it soon became a small glass bead. Kyao? The ancient bell sniffed and approached little by little. Although he was wary, it seemed difficult to resist the temptation of mana''s crystals. This is the first food I give you. If you want to be with me in the future, you can eat this. mosquito? The ancient servant tilted his head. It''s called food. Eat. mosquito! Okay. Let''s do mosquitoes. If someone else had said it, I would have thrown a fireball. For some reason, the ancient bell felt lovely even in every stupid way of speaking. Is this the mother''s heart? Just then. Bump! The ancient bell ate the food in its mouth. [A ''engraving'' is engraved on the ancient species ''???''] [If you give it a name, the pet will show higher loyalty to its owner.] [The great achievement of taming the ancient bell for the first time will be inducted into the ''Hall of Fame''.] [All beings in the tower pay attention to your achievements.] [Ancient servants and spirits give you... .] Numerous status windows appeared one after another. done! Jinhyuk called for joy inside. In the past, we only fought against the enemy. Adoption as a pet was unsuccessful. I was finally able to fulfill that dream. mosquito! After the ancient paper swallowed the glass bead. body trembled. Its short, blunt tail swung gently from side to side. I guess it means feeling good. Eat a lot and grow fast. Later, I will cook and feed the crying Anubis over there. ''It seems that one is not enough.'' Jinhyuk made another mana crystal. And I watched the scene where the ancient bell ate deliciously. by the way. ''I thought I should give it a name.'' To increase loyalty, you need an appropriate nickname. Since it is an ancient species, it is impossible to call it a mosquito. Hmm . Jinhyuk thought for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth. From the moment I first saw this guy. There was one name that came to mind. Black skin and bright yellow eyes. Let''s name it Sweet Potato. Yes. Ripe roasted sweet potatoes are perfect. Kokuma? No, sweet potato. sweet potato! did you like it The sweet potato opened its mouth wide. Yes. From now on, your name is Sweet Potato. Time passes mindlessly. Jinhyuk headed towards the gate to return to reality. Horus, who was rejected by Jinhyuk, seemed to be quite sad. If you ever change your mind, just tell me. The Egyptian divinities always shadow you. Seeing him say this to the end, it seems that he is quite greedy. Still, it looks like the hawk''s eyes are a decoration. It''s like looking at prospects. Thank you for your kind comments, but I don''t think my answer will change. Jinhyuk euphemistically expressed his refusal with a smile. On the other hand, Anubis, who ate one shot this time, was in a state of hiding because of his anger. It''s going to be hard to put up with anger towards yourself. Everything he had planned went awry, and even the eggs of the ancient species were stolen. finally. It was an interesting meeting again. I thought it wouldn''t be surprising to people, but I must say that thanks to Jinhyuk-nim, I have changed my mind a lot? I never imagined that there would be a player who could hatch and tame ancient species. Rick came up to Jinhyuk and said goodbye. Because there are some special people in the world. haha. I think you''ve done something too absurd to use the modifier of ''a little'', but... With that said, I''m looking forward to the next meeting. I''m looking forward to it. I hope that day will come again soon. excitement and anticipation. And beyond that. I felt a longing to see the future of a human being. A librarian at the Magic University Library. Not as the owner of the top, but as a member of the tower. Just then. [Middle Manager ''Rick Hennessy'' has ''Subscribed'' to your channel.] [You have acquired 10,000 coins.] [The application rate of 90% fee is reduced to 80%.] A golden status window appeared. uh? This time, even Jinhyuk couldn''t help but panic. The Crucible Community. More than 100,000 videos are uploaded here every day. It is truly one of the hot spots. It goes without saying, but among the many videos, only a few were worth saving. ''It''s nice to have some. damn it Much more often than not.'' PD of KDS Broadcasting Station, ''Climbing the Tower of Trials'' Choi Hee-jae, the director of the program, was desperate at the fact that he couldn''t get a modest video even after staying up all night. The number of coffee cups stacked on the table seemed to represent his anxiety. at that time. Rumble! Seo, senior. I bet you haven''t left work yet? The door opened, and a woman with long straight hair and a suit came in. It was Kim Daun, who was in charge of the same program. "No matter what you have to do to get home from work. Go to the sauna. This week, it''s completely hot." Is that enough? I''m not saying it''s sick. It''s enough to make my son in kindergarten turn the channel. The advance squad went up to the 6th floor, but the goblins and orcs still on the first floor are mostly videos, so will the viewers help out? greater stimulation. More colorful and tense action. I need this. In order to captivate viewers with thickly trained peripheral nerves. Thanks to the abundance of useless videos like this, broadcasters can''t enter the house. Come in! Hey. My child looked at me and said why did the man next door come into the house? I can''t believe it! Choi Hee-jae, who was lashing out like a quick-fire gun, massaged both eyes with his index finger. Meanwhile, Kim Down moved the mouse. "Uh senior. Have you seen this?" I''ve seen it all. All night long. Have you listened to me until now? Is this the video you just uploaded? what? At Kim Da-un''s words, Choi Hee-jae jumped up from his seat. It really is. Resurrection of ancient species. And the first player to receive the administrator''s subscription. Two ridiculously large rice cakes were thrown. Thanks to this, the bulletin board was on the verge of a runaway due to the plunging viewers. You crazy! Choi Hee-jae grabbed the monitor with both hands. I nearly smashed myself into the monitor trying to make sure I was seeing it right. Two people who posted this! Try hiring them right now! If it''s a budget, I''ll try to pull it out somehow through the director. Okay? If not, I''ll even kidnap you! Choi Hee-jae shouted urgently. By the way. Stand, senpai. Kim Daun''s voice trembled softly as he was checking the information. This is one person. CH 108 . Ranker recruitment. ''Climb the tower of trials'' (One) The super-popular program ''Climbing the Tower of Trials'' boasts a viewership rating of 40%. This program ranges from officials of the Awakened Association and various guilds to the general public. It was truly loved by all age groups. That means it''s a no-brainer. ''must You must succeed.'' Kim Daun bit his lip. Now, people are enjoying Internet broadcasting more than TV while talking about View Tube or Paprika TV. The position of the broadcasting station was inevitably narrowed. Now, even if the ratings were only 10%, it was said that it was a jackpot. However, with the advent of the Tower of Trials, an opportunity came to turn the situation around. With great support from the government and the Awakened Association. It was possible to create a special program related to the Tower of Trials. A once in a lifetime opportunity. KDS had to somehow make use of this opportunity. And the Hidden card that was able to continue that spark of hope . It''s the man right in front of you right now. The mint chocolate here is very good. The toothpaste taste is still alive, right? Did you really put it in? Jinhyuk Kang. Korea''s 16th S-class player and a person who is generating a lot of attention. To be honest, I didn''t think it would be easy to cast. Surprisingly, the other party willingly came to the meeting. ''please I shouldn''t have asked for too much of an unreasonable fee.'' Daun Kim swallowed dry saliva. Hey... Kang Jinhyuk player? Yes? Jinhyuk lifted his lips from the straw. As I said over the phone, tomorrow at 7pm. All you have to do is appear on a live talk show. Ah. I know. You can simply tell me about me and the things I''ve been doing so far. Was it this? That''s right. For the main action scenes and other scenes, we will re-edit the videos in Jinhyuk Kang''s view tube and play them together. Jinhyuk Kang plans to add comments in the middle. In a nutshell, please do the same thing as if the director commented on the work in a movie-like place, right? Well, it''s a sensitive part, so you''ll have to be ignorant of it. After some Q A time, it seemed that the broadcast volume could be fully digested. great. I was told what to do. Then let''s talk about the pay, shall we? Yes. It was also one of the goals to raise awareness by appearing on TV shows. The most important thing is the performance fee. Because of this, I quickly accepted Kim Daun''s offer. Jinhyuk smiled brightly, and a nervous light flashed across Kim Daun''s face. In the case of B-class people, we give 10 million won at a time. A-grade people are giving 50 million won. And S-class people are set at 500 million won, but if you want, you can raise a little more. 5 billion. It was an unprecedented amount for what could be received from just one appearance. However, Jinhyuk shook his head. It doesn''t mean there isn''t enough money. It''s just that I don''t need money this time. "Are you lacking?" No. It''s not like that... I''d like to be paid Magical Stones instead of money as an appearance fee. Yes? I have to extract mana from magic stone. Even if it doesn''t, I heard that the broadcasting station is investing in a business related to magic stone, so I would like you to deduct the appearance fee from that. It''s ok...I think it''ll be fine, but can I call the director for a moment? The method of payment is not something I can decide at my level. caught Of course. Please feel free to come. Jinhyuk leaned back on the sofa leisurely. Then, Kim Daun hurriedly went out of the coffee shop with his cell phone. ''The answer must be decided anyway.'' Because I wasn''t in a position to say no. No matter what you ask from here, you have no choice but to nod your head. How long have you been sipping drinks like that? Kim Daun, who had gone out to call, came back. By the way. Her expression darkened slightly. Did things go wrong? Ah... The magic stone case has been approved. As soon as the broadcast ends, we will settle it in the basement storage room. You can pick it up then. That''s fortunate. "But, I I have one more thing to tell you." Kim Daun blurs the end of his speech as if in trouble. There seems to be something twisted. I''m listening. I think someone else has an appointment for tomorrow''s broadcast. So may I ask if you can appear with him? Is there anyone else coming besides me? certainly . Didn''t I say it''s difficult because no one will come tomorrow? Yes. I''m sorry. It was talked about at a higher level, so it was something I couldn''t figure out. I''m going to point out one thing first: I prefer to be honest with myself rather than flirt. Yes? Kim Daun''s eyes widened. He tried to straighten his expression, but it was already too late. also . Suddenly a new guest is added. No matter how far-fetched the bureaucracy is. There''s no way things can be handled like that. That''s right. Who is it? The one who comes with me. ...that, that... It''s frustrating. You don''t even realize who''s holding the hilt now? Aren''t the broadcasting stations going bankrupt without such talent? Okay. If you don''t tell me, I''ll let you go. Jinhyuk got up from his seat without any regrets. Then, it was Kim Daun who became urgent. "Ho, CEO Hong Deok-pyo. Yes! It''s him! Hearing that he had hired player Kang Jin-hyuk, he said he would definitely come too " What about Hong Deok-pyo? Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. I remembered The master of the ''Black Fortune Guild'', who wrote black history properly at the ballroom. The unlucky protagonist used as a foundation for the press conference. Yes. it was that guy ''I put pressure on the broadcasting station to appear on the show with me. .'' Seeing that Hong Deok-pyo was going to come with a flag, he must have been making a stupid plan again. Anyway, I don''t know why there are so many people in the world who can''t come to their senses once they''ve been confused. Don''t you know that you shouldn''t be doing that? '' no way?'' Jinhyuk immediately realized the reason. Looking at how confident I am, it seems like there are other people coming with me other than Hong. There is no chance that Hong Deok-pyo improved his skills significantly after the prom. There are ruins and labyrinths that can grow rapidly, but there is no message that they have been captured yet. Above all, he is not a vessel for that. if so. ''It must mean that we have hired talented people.'' There is no other way to explain it. Yes. That''s right. I heard that some rankers from large overseas guilds are coming along. Well, that''s how it happened. This is an opportunity to bring you and famous overseas rankers, who are in the midst of raising their stock price, in one place. Even if it wasn''t for Hong Deok-pyo''s pressure from the broadcasting station''s point of view. It must have been a temptation hard to give up. Is this what Korea is about networking? It''s fun. The corner of Jinhyuk''s mouth went up. Then, can I also call my acquaintances as a guest? the next evening. Hong Deok-pyo arrived at the broadcasting station an hour earlier than the scheduled time. Finally, this day has come. Anticipation was dripping from his face. Of course, I am excited because I have an opportunity to repay the humiliation I have suffered. ''Today is the last time I wake up from the night screaming.'' Even if we eat outside, when the name Kang Jin-hyuk comes up, we get upset. For Hong Deok-pyo, the day of the prom was a nightmare that was hard to shake off. However, that is now over. This is the time to pay back 1000 times what you have suffered. That was then. Damn it, I know you''re excited because you''re in the middle of a delusion, but because of you, do we have to come all the way to this snotty place? Kang Jin-hyuk is a person who looks carefully from above, so there''s nothing we can do about it. By the way, Mr. Hong. Don''t forget the pay. You''ve called us all the way to this village, so we''ll definitely get paid. Some exotic-looking people approached me next to Hong Deok-pyo. A man with a sharp impression like a salamander and a woman with long black hair reaching her waist. The two complained as if they were dissatisfied with coming to Korea. OK. The third man finally opened his mouth. Both of you, be quiet. Even reporters are coming, but if you raise your voice and the image of the guild is tarnished... momentary comma. What followed was a notice without emotion. I will kill you both with my own hands. This is no joke. ...Ah, I see. Yes. The two people''s complaints slipped into the dry words that could be called mechanical. Yes. That''s it. for this revenge [Three S-rank rankers of the Chinese Guild came.] I selected only those who could wipe out any guild with just three people. However, more important than the individual''s power. The point is that the most powerful guild in China has stepped forward. There are tens of thousands of players in the guild alone. In addition, Namgungcheon, at its peak, boasted an unimaginable strength that earned him the nickname of a walking boss monster. As long as he has such a splendid lineup. A single player who insists on solo will not be able to handle it. ''Come on, let the dog cool down once in a while.'' A fishy smile hung on the corner of Hong Deok-pyo''s lips. Those who hit with rice cakes should be beaten with rice cakes again. Even so, the reporters were even called in to make this stage''s splendid point. The large-scale true education that will be held in a while will also be better if there are many eyes to see. But that was the moment when Hong Deok-pyo giggled. What is this. Why are you gathering so much? A familiar figure appeared among the crowd. It was Jinhyuk. I''m here! Hong Deok-pyo''s eyes twinkled. Players from the Chinese Guild were also interested. Now that I''ve encountered the ranker, who has been the center of attention lately, I can''t help but be curious. The leader of the China Guild approached Jinhyuk. And just as I was about to open my mouth to speak. You are Kang Jin-hyuk... I don''t buy from China. Jinhyuk cut off the conversation with a single knife. What, what? The leader''s face contorted in anger. Damn! You know who these people are right now and are babbling around! They are rankers belonging to the Chinese Guild! Deok-pyo Hong tried to rectify the situation urgently. Oh. I wondered why the guy was so upset. "Were these guys the ones you believed in?" this is true You say you hired a great talent. I thought you brought a famous ranker somewhere. They must have brought Chinese mass-produced goods. I had expected it roughly with the patterns and clothes, but this was less than expected. ''Three people... .'' Jinhyuk looked at the status window of the players from the Chinese Guild with a sad expression on his face. These are the abilities and unique abilities that I listed one by one. Is it possible to organize everything on the Cheonyuseong Line? ''The Chinese side is also below expectations.'' Anyway, if Namgungcheon comes directly, I''m sure I''ll have a good taste for fighting. Of course, that was also a story when I grew up much better than when I was in the Tower of Trials in the past. Okay. CEO Hong. Let me tell you. The leader dissuaded Hong. Maybe it''s because he cares about reporters. His face is burning with anger, and if he tries to hold back, he will burn a thousand dollars inside. Jinhyuk Kang player. Yes. It''s good to be confident. Because you''ve done something worthwhile. But, don''t think that you can face a large guild by yourself. Hmm. To be honest, I think that alone would suffice. It''s no fun to press with force. What your partner is most confident about. It is the most thrilling when you take a picture with it and press it. Anyway, the time has come The moment I thought so. Boo woo woo! A black foreign car appeared on the road. Rolls Royce Phantom. It was a top-of-the-line car that is hard to find in Gangnam. The Rolls-Royce, approaching as if flowing through the clouds, stopped in front of the broadcasting station. What, what? Who''s going to come again? I didn''t know you''d see that car here, did you? The reporters'' eyes turned to the car. Soon after, the driver came out and politely opened the door. It''s a modest move. The mere act of opening the door is enough to bring out dignity. Im here. And because of those coming out of the car. Ugh? Hey, this can''t be! Get everyone here right now! Bring all your cameras! Right now! Everyone in front of the station had to exhale in shock. CH 109 Ranker recruitment. ''Climb the tower of trials'' (2) I saw the first person to get out of the car. Long blonde hair that reached to her waist and blue eyes. It looks as if the goddess talked about in mythology has descended. her . gulp. The appearance of the girl with her innocence and beauty was enough to arouse awe. An earthquake occurred in the pupils of the reporters. I had no choice but to do so. Ah, the Saint of Amsterdam! Oh my gosh... A European ranker made a surprise visit to Korea? A level of recognition that cannot be compared with players from the Chinese Guild. A whopping ''100 players'' Teresa, one of them, came to Korea. Hey, what did you come here for? Do you have any acquaintances in Korea? Questions from reporters poured in. Teresa answered her eyes more carefully, seemingly in trouble. "Ah I. I came to see player Jinhyuk Kang. I heard you were here." The sudden visit to Korea alone is newsworthy, but the reason was to meet Jinhyuk. I can''t help but not pay attention to this. it''s a special "Then, did you come all the way from Europe to Korea just for that?" Yes. That''s right. "It must have been very difficult for you on a long flight, may I ask what kind of relationship you have with player Jinhyuk Kang?" Teresa paused at the reporter''s sensitive question. I wanted to think for a moment with a complicated expression on my face. No matter what the circumstances. A friend you must trust... it is. He quickly replied with a smile. This is not a lie. There was no pretense or exaggeration. Theresa was so purely trusting and relying on Jinhyuk. On the other hand, reporters were surrounded by an old man with a strong body. A person who should never be here. A martial artist whose condition was so obscure that it was even said that he might have already died. It was Yoo Chun-young. "I knew that you had an incurable disease and was being recuperated at the hospital, but did you recover?" Do you know Yoo Chun-young with Kang Jin-hyeok too? Please, just say one word! There was great interest. It was a situation in which all the reporters who had been snooping on whether there was anything from the Chinese Guild had gathered here. Hong Deok-pyo looked like he had put a handful of dirt in his mouth, but no one cared about it. Whether Hong Deok-pyo gets hit by a car or takes off his panties right now, the reporters won''t even pay attention. "Player Jinhyuk Kang is a benefactor who saved this old man''s life. He owed him a debt that he could not repay even if he had to pay him back for the rest of his life." Yoo Chun-young also opened her mouth. Korea''s strongest. No, until the Tower of Trials appeared, Jinhyuk''s name came out of the mouth of Yoo Chun-young, one of the most famous martial artists in the world. ''mana runaway'', which is known to be incurable. But the person who cured that incurable disease was Jinhyuk. Once again, there was a huge commotion. "Dae, what the hell is Kang Jin-hyuk''s player?" I thought you were only good at fighting. Are you even versed in medicine? They said that they would immediately enter the new 100-person ranking this month. Now that I look at it, that''s enough. Is 100 people a problem? Is there anyone who is better than Kang Jin-hyuk now? It''s impossible to compare them just by looking at their achievements. It''s an objective fact, not because we''re the same Korean. Because he was a public figure, he couldn''t say anything recklessly, but in the minds of reporters, the rankings had already been established. Finally, another group of reporters poked their microphones at a third person who got out of the car. A man who looks so good in a black suit, but has an ice-cold image. swordsmanship. it was heavenly I''ll ask you one thing. Obviously, I heard that you kicked out the invitations of all the guilds in Korea. Why did you answer the call of player Jinhyuk Kang? Yes. Cheon Yu-seong, who climbed the tower alone, has cleared dungeons and labyrinths with overwhelming skills. Numerous guilds took out blank checks and sent love calls to that reckless move... . Chun Yu-seong never sent a reply to any of them. As if to ignore the very existence of the contract rather than listen to the terms of the contract. But, the iron-walled person came to meet Jinhyuk. "Are you a colleague with Kang Jin-hyuk?" There was no other way to explain it. However, as a colleague. Cheon Yu-seong''s eyebrows were curved in an inverted manner. kukukuku... ! Sharp flesh erupted from his body. trembling Surprised, the reporters took a few steps back. Not a colleague. strong denial. What followed was love and hatred for the other person. It''s a target that we have to defeat someday. The reason for climbing the tower. The purpose of clenching it and cultivating it. For Cheon Yoo-seong, who only won all competitions, Jin-hyeok was a mountain that burned his will to challenge just by his existence. And. Jinhyuk was watching the whole scene from a distance. ''Ummm.'' It''s not bad. also. There is nothing more spectacular than a gathering of big actors in one place? I feel like I want to take out even Elise. If that were the case, all the raids in Korea would be mobilized. The scene where roads and buildings turn into a sea of fire is well... . It will be hard to remember as something very pleasant. Uh, how could this... Rumble. Hong Deok-pyo stuttered with a red-hot face. A stage prepared to break the opponent''s spirit. By the way. Why the hell is it that all the results are going the opposite of what you expected? Rather, the hard-working reporters were used to raise the value of the brand named Kang Jin-hyuk. The Chinese Guild has become a laughing stock due to the opponent''s splendid personal connections. This means that the worst card is drawn from the number of possible outcomes. What was embarrassing was the rest of the players belonging to the Chinese Guild. ... he was a bigger guy than I thought. Theresa, Yoo Chun-young... Plus, Cheon Yoo-seong. Only people known to be impossible to cast have gathered. " " In front of those three, the sign that reads ''Chunghwa'' fades. There is no jaw at the S-class level. At least. Had I known the board would be this big, I should have brought in a much higher rank play. ''no.'' The man who was the leader quietly shook his head. ''You can''t change this atmosphere unless Namgungcheon-nim comes in person.'' I was trying to inspire the image of the Chinese Guild and, as a bonus, plunder huge coins and items from the Black Fortune Guild. Everything turned to nothing. because of only one. Well, it was quite a fun event. Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders toward the four of you. School ties, delays, blood ties. There is no denying that these three factors are important in Korea. but. "If you''re going to brag about your personal connections, well shouldn''t it be like this?" You should know that there are classes there too. One storm passed. Deok-pyo Hong, completely lost in his mind, gave up appearing on the program. The players of the Chinese Guild who came with me also left the stage with him. Well, that would be wise. If you''re on TV like this, you''ll be in a situation where you can''t even get the moisturizing tissue on the table. ''Why is it fun to watch the nose of a guy who used to be so confident like this get crushed?'' That''s why I don''t think it''s a dead person. It''s because I''m used to looking for sadistic stimuli, and I''ve become a body that isn''t interested in anything. right then What''s so good about making you laugh? Cheon Yoo-seong, who was watching from the side, clicked his tongue as if he was pathetic. Huh? Okay. It''s obvious even if you don''t answer. At least, isn''t that what Hong Deok-pyo was enjoying being frustrated with? Anyway, there''s no such thing as filtering on this guy''s tongue? There is a direct connection from the brain to the mouth. Thank you for coming this far. I hope you don''t even bother with my personal hobby. Please don''t touch me? Considering that the officetel I live in was destroyed thanks to you, I think it''s okay to do more? If it''s an officetel, you''re talking about the house you live in, right? Jinhyuk, who tilted his head, immediately realized the reason. Oh right. Come to think of it, on the 5th floor, Unknown''s identity was said to be Cheon Yuseong. It was someone else''s business, so I forgot about it. Whoops-! Have you been stabbed in the conscience? Jinhyuk hurriedly cleared his voice. "Even if no one else knew, I believed in you. The Magic Association, it''s not even a single punch from the great swordsman. Cancer. Not like that." ...it''s a thought that comes to mind again, but I don''t think you''ll get used to your cleverness no matter how much time passes. I''ll listen to it as a compliment. Rather than that. How was it? What do you mean? The one sent by the Mine Association. This time, he must have been very determined. Please tell me how you dealt with it. At Jinhyuk''s words, Cheon Yoosung stopped. Do you have any memories of that time? His expression darkened a little. It was a guy named Gawain. hoo. His nickname is ''Knight of the Round Table''. a word referring to one of them. In other words. It means that an official of the Mine Association visited directly. You look pretty annoying to deal with, don''t you? Yes it was. The opponent was strong. enough to shake your teeth. However. It was just that. Cheon Yoo-seong looked at Jin-hyuk with strange eyes. The intruder who broke into the officetel must have been an enemy strong enough to risk his life, but... . Why? Even a monster that was so strong didn''t feel too heavy compared to this guy. At least, no matter how hard I tried, I didn''t feel hopeless. So Cheon Yoosung was convinced. ''also There is no one stronger than this smirk.'' No matter how much a ranker receives full support from the guild. Or even a boss monster that goes beyond common sense existing in the tower. It will not even be a match for these stagnant and decaying fossils. so. ''Someday I will defeat you and take your place at the top.'' He has already tasted 138 defeats, but the one who laughs last is the true winner. Cheon Yoo-sung continued to develop a swelled dream while falling into the illusion that he could win again this time. The conversation between the two ended there. after. Jinhyuk also exchanged small conversations with Teresa and Yoo Chunyoung. It''s okay. At the time of the raid on the ruins. Because I promised to appear on the show with Jinhyuk. Heh heh. I have the same thoughts as Miss Teresa. In my heart, I wanted to bring all of my students under her command, but you were so desperate that you put up with it. All of them are grateful people who came all the way here without saying a word to Jinhyuk. also. That''s why I think it''s a corporation that should do good to people who are important. Even if it wasn''t this time, they were always helpful in the future. right then "You can come to the set now." At Daun Kim''s words, Jinhyuk stood up. It''s time to go slow Broadcasting started. By the way. ''Hey, what the hell is this?'' ''Damn we''re ruined. It''s ruined!'' Choi Hee-jae and Kim Da-un, who were in charge of the program, had to keep sweating from their foreheads. I had no choice but to do so. It was difficult to recruit a prominent ranker. This is because the content of the broadcast is completely falling into Samcheonpo. "I player Jinhyuk Kang? Then, can you tell me how you cleared the labyrinth?" Um. That''s no big deal. All you have to do is eat a lot of tasteless moss and mushrooms and play hard with the calf. Well, is that the end? Yes. Jinhyuk nodded his head with an innocent face. The female host tried to lead the conversation somehow, but the answer returned to each question was the same. The 3rd floor dungeon... You just have to avoid them all. Well, then the 4th floor... "You can avoid all of that." What about the 5th and 5th floors? "You just have to work hard to avoid it." No, seriously. What if that''s a tip? In the first place, there is no way to attack the Tower of Trials other than who is more crazy about it. Jinhyuk just told me the only way to attack it. CH 110 Ranker recruitment. ''Climb the tower of trials'' (3) [[''Climbing the Tower of Trials''] Episode 8 will be closed for one week due to the circumstances of the broadcasting company.] A document requesting final approval for the break and a file containing the broadcast volume were placed on the table. Whoa. Director Kang Byung-chan pressed his temple with his index finger. If you sign here, the program, which is the broadcasting station''s hope, will take a week off immediately, and your sales and reputation will suffer a painful blow. However. ''Can not help it.'' If this video is released as it is, some kind of catastrophe may occur. With a dead person who only shouts to avoid unconditionally. A female host with an expression like crying. And even the PDs who are actually crying. It was as if a midsummer night''s nightmare had been crammed into one video. ''Yes. I can understand this.'' The swearing even came out of my throat, but I was able to make up for one mistake afterward. the problem is. The point is that the person responsible for directing this hell has appeared proudly to claim his share. ''Is the conscience cemented and coated with diamonds?'' This is enough for even Satan to shake his head. I''m seriously asking for the performance fee. Are you saying this? Kang Byung-chan opened his mouth. Of course. It''s written in the contract. "We haha. I don''t know if you know this, but we''re going to suffer a lot of damage due to this break. Rather, it''s a situation where we may have to claim compensation from player Jinhyuk Kang! Kang Byung-chan put a threat, but Jin-hyuk did not blink an eye. Well. I just did what the contract said? got an invitation I got rid of the tips accordingly. Now is the time to get paid for it. There was no problem. Do you think such a coercion will work? Yes. I think it will work. Actually... Jinhyuk took a breath. And the words that followed pierced the opponent''s lungs deeply. After working with the CEO of BJ Entertainment called Lee Jong-soo and exploiting BJs, didn''t you say, ''It''s written in the contract, so if it''s unfair, do it according to the law.'' I know it was Director Kang Byung-chan who moved the case. A fact that everyone knows. Director Kang Byung-chan secretly contacted big-name BJs to make up for the broadcasting station''s deficit. Hearing that it''s going to be a lot of money, some conscientious BJs joined hands with him One of them was Lee Jong-soo, the representative of the entertainment that Jinhyuk belonged to. And Jin-hyeok came here to take responsibility for what happened at that time. ''Lee Jong-su, he died in a mangrove tree, so he''ll pay the price for his sin. You are not.'' It wasn''t a grand excuse to take revenge on the fellow BJs who had to quit the show, but I can''t see the person in question being ripped off with money. It was worth the time invested, as I was planning to get the Magical Stone as well. Oh! Don''t deny it for nothing. I came from knowing everything. I didn''t hear this from anywhere, I was one of the parties to the contract. ...! gulp. Dry saliva ran down Kang Byung-chan''s neck. Indeed, if the other party is one of the BJs who signed a slavery contract, no words will be able to deceive them. Above all else, the opponent is S-class, not the bottom BJ. Isn''t that the player that is becoming the hottest topic in the world? If you lied to me... . ''Damn my neck looks like it''s flying.'' Kang Byung-chan felt his head spin and spin as if anemia had occurred. He untied his tie and fanned it with his hands. I tried to roll my head hard, but I couldn''t come up with any sharp numbers that could get me out of this situation. ...Okay. Magical Stone. I''ll pay you right away. But can I just call you before that? Call me... . It looks like he''s trying to get some advice somewhere or hit SOS. well. whatever you do whatever you plan All of that will only result in a tighter neck. Jinhyuk was already reading Kang Byungchan''s number from a high place. Do by that way. It is enough to reply with a smile. 30 minutes later. Kang Byung-chan and Jin-hyeok headed to a large warehouse located in the basement of the broadcasting station. This place was once used as an underground parking lot, but after the advent of the Tower of Trials, its use changed as a warehouse for storing various items, especially magic crystals in large quantities. ''Exactly, it''s probably used to store things for tax evasion or lobbying.'' Jinhyuk looked around as if curious. As it is a facility built with state-of-the-art facilities, iris or fingerprints were required to pass through a single door. It is a tight security that is comparable to a military facility. Let''s go through the security door like that a few times. [Director Kang Byung-chan. Approval is complete.] Finally, the door to the warehouse opened, and a mountain of magic stones appeared. Oh. An exclamation came out of Jinhyuk''s mouth. It''s not exaggerating, it really touched the ceiling more than 10m. The amount of magic stones in this place was beyond imagination. It was so bad that my eyes hurt, so even if I had to describe it any more, my mouth hurts. right then Kang Byung-chan, who was standing with a stiff face, carefully opened his mouth. I heard from PD Choi, and player Jinhyuk Kang said he was trying to absorb mana in the magic stone. Am I right? Yes. I intend to use it for that purpose. Then, can I make a suggestion? Kang Byung-chan''s voice trembled thinly. Can you feel how much pain I struggled for 30 minutes to get these words out? cute. It''s like looking at you like a dog that''s in trouble. Jinhyuk smiled and nodded his head. "Let''s hear it." "As you probably know, the amount of Magic Stones we have is beyond imagination. As the lowest level, we have about 35,000 Magic Stones. We will provide them to player Jinhyuk Kang unlimitedly. Until tomorrow at 7am. I mean, I''ll give you everything you can absorb. Kang Byung-chan said as if he had a great heart. However, the intention was clearly visible in Jinhyuk''s eyes. ''The absorption rate of Magic Stone is being evaluated as atrocious.'' No matter how good the absorption rate is, it will take more than 5 minutes to absorb one of the lowest level magic crystals. As long as there is a time limit of 7 in the morning, no player could absorb the 500 million won worth of Magic Stones. In other words, the magic stones piled up like a mountain were a good bait. In fact, it is said that even if you pack porridge all night long, it will be difficult to absorb 100 million won from time to time. Kang Byung-chan waited anxiously for Jin-hyuk''s answer. An opportunity to cut the loss by one-fifth. The face of a con man who longs for Hogu to go all-in on his fortune... It''s probably similar to that middle-aged man. great. If that''s the case, let me fish you. well that''s hard "Okay. Until tomorrow morning at 7 am. I will use only as much magic crystals as I can absorb." Huh, huh! Me, really? Why are you so surprised? Like you caught a hukou? Haha... That''s right. I''m just saying that it''s good to reach an agreement that is mutually beneficial... Yes. Yes. Do you want to be shy. That''s enough to hear the dog whistle. Jinhyuk waved his hand as if it was bothering him. Kang Byung-chan was worried that Jin-hyuk would change his mind. I quickly ran towards the door. Of course, I forgot to add a word. "Just in case, there are anti-theft spells on the Spirit Stones. It would be impossible to put them in the subspace inventory." Don''t worry. I''ll see you in the morning then. at the end of that word. thud! The door is closed. [Time Remaining: 11h:59m:59s] Only 12 hours left until morning. The timer displayed on the screen started to decrease little by little. However, despite the fact that he had to absorb the Magic Stone in a hurry, Jinhyuk was not in a hurry. Instead, I slowly opened the subspace inventory. ''Obviously, I said you shouldn''t put magic crystals inside. Didn''t you say not to take out what''s in your inventory?'' So, there is no violation of conditions. Our sweet potato. Come on out. Jinhyuk stretched out his palm toward the other side of the subspace inventory. OK. wobbly twitch! A reptile with black skin and yellow eyes walked out. ancient species. it was sweet potato mosquito! Yeah. You were very lonely because you were in there, didn''t you? Jinhyuk hugged the sweet potato and gave him a passionate love. The sweet potato also licked Jinhyuk''s cheeks with his tongue. This must mean it''s nice. The cool touch and the way he tilted his head was insanely lovely. Nothing else. I called because I thought I was hungry. 35,000 Spirit Stones. Obviously, the amount is so large that a typical player would get tired of absorbing it. However, if it is an ancient species that has just hatched from an egg and is spewing out a huge appetite... . The amount of magic crystals here is by no means large. Rather, it is insufficient. mosquito? The sweet potato moved her head left and right cutely. A small tail fluttered when asked to feed. Yeah. Everything in front of me is your mosquito. so. "Eat them all." Jinhyuk sighed coldly. There was no sympathy or hesitation mixed there. ''I looked like an idiot who didn''t even know the absorption rate. .'' To put your head down and make an apology like this on a board that wouldn''t be enough. It makes me realize just how stupid it was to the point of uprooting the broadcasting station''s roots. next day. Director Kang Byung-chan, who was on his way to work, hummed continuously. I couldn''t help but be excited. Thanks to PD Choi''s advice, I was able to make up for a loss that was hard to just ignore. Moreover, the fact that they can feed a cheeky kid who gave them one shot with a casual face, the corners of their mouths also turned upward. ''Money is money, but this is more refreshing.'' As long as I can''t be friends with the other person anyway. Wouldn''t it be nice to be able to sleep comfortably at night, even if it''s cool inside? It is said that after the 8th shift, when the suspension was decided, the Black Fortune Guild and the Chinese Guild would send a high-ranking ranker. There was no doubt that the program would continue to walk on a solid road in the future. Oh, are you here? Director. Good morning. One employee greeted me at a 90 degree angle. Uh. Yeah. Good morning for Deputy Park too. Don''t sweat too much from the early hours and drink a cup of coffee at a time. Heh heh. It was Kang Byung-chan, known as a tiger. As of today, she burst into laughter with a factored face. A light footstep followed. After putting down his briefcase in the office, Kang Byung-chan received a report from his secretary about his schedule for today. Then, I headed straight to the magical stone storage warehouse in the basement of the broadcasting station. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart was beating rapidly with anticipation and excitement. ''Well then, how many magic stones did our celebrity actually absorb?'' Kang Byung-chan rubbed his palms and opened the door. By the way. Hey, how did this happen... Kang Byung-chan, who checked the inside, had to take a big breath. A horrifying sight inside that is hard to believe even when looking at it. "No, that''s ridiculous. Where the hell did all that go?" empty All of the 35,000 magic crystals had disappeared. The only thing on the floor was pieces of debris that appeared to be magic crystals. mosquito! A reptile rolls around with its short legs clasping its full belly. And. Ah. Director is here? I''m sorry, but if there are any leftovers, can we get some more? It seems our child is still a little lacking. Only Jin-hyeok, who was smiling the brightest in the world, remained. CH 111 A mirror that breaks down boundaries (1) mosquito! The sweet potato, who had properly filmed the Majeongseok Mukbang, stretched out as if satisfied. Small and cute wings and tail stretched out in a straight line. Jinhyuk looked at the sweet potato with delight. Heartily I hope this guy eats to his heart''s content and grows up well. ''After all, the magic stone here was not mine either.'' Yes. The most important thing is this. Growing up with someone else''s precious property is the most exciting thing. Even if you scrape the entire bowl of rice, it''s not a waste of anything. ''Then, where do we see how much our sweet potatoes have grown?'' Jinhyuk used ''Eyes of Gluttony'' to check the status window of the sweet potato. [The target''s status window cannot be checked due to the level difference.] Of course, this message came out. Does not matter. Because sweet potatoes were not simply treated as strangers. [Due to the relationship between ''master'' and ''pet'', the level difference is ignored.] [sweet potato] Race: Ancient Age: 1 Level: 98 Strength 105 Dexterity 98 Stamina 90 mana 192 Lv1 '' Acid saliva'', Lv1 ''Supper time'', Lv1 ''Acid Breath'', Lv1 ''Flight'', Lv1 ''Fear'' Characteristics: When the ancient servant fights, the master''s mana is also consumed. Normal combat requires 5 mana per minute, and intense combat requires 15 mana per minute. [Experience distribution is supported double. In other words, the owner and the pet can each acquire experience points for the same monster.] Although I was strong from the moment I was born. The sweet potato, which consumed 35,000 magical crystals in a storm, boasted an absurd mana. This is, from level 1, an ability that is close to Hatchling. ''It''s strong. Instead, to fight, mana consumption is not easy.'' The mana that Jinhyuk currently owns is 80. If sweet potatoes were used in battle, they could only survive for about 5 minutes. ''Even if I fight together, the time will be much shorter.'' It would be better to think of it as a hidden card that you can only take out when you really need it. It didn''t seem like it was going to be such a close-knit crisis anyway... . Because there is a law that there is only one thing in human affairs. right then Rumble! The door opened, and a familiar middle-aged man entered. It was Kang Byung-chan. Hey, how did this happen... Seeing that his smiling face had completely turned into a gloomy face. Hmm. What? It seems a little pitiful... is a horn. Does the cider run down the esophagus make your throat sting? It felt like the resentment I had accumulated while living as a BJ was washed away in an instant. No, I''ve used all the magic stones? It''s a lie. Haha. This can''t be real. Hahaha. Yeah. I''m still in bed and this must be a dream. Did I say that when people are too shocked, they deny reality? Kang Byung-chan laughed like a heartbreaking person. But does he know? This nightmare isn''t the end, it''s just the beginning. Jinhyuk approached Kang Byungchan. "It''s a bit like I''m fanning a house that is on fire but I''m going to have to get some compensation for the unfair contract I made with Lee Jong-soo." "What ? Blood, compensation for damage. What do you mean by that?" what are you talking about This is strictly just a performance fee. Compensation for damages for what you have done in the past is another matter. If you commit two sins. Compensation should be of two types. Where are you going to put them together? Have you ever heard of the saying that it is a special case? I wonder... Is it not enough to take everything like this? You devil! Are you still human? Huh? Are you human! If it''s insulting to say that I''ll pay you back what you''ve been through, then what? That insult. I''ll eat as much as I want. Isn''t he in a position to shout out loud right now? Jinhyuk''s eyebrows were curved in the opposite direction. At the same time, cold mana began to flow softly. It is the mana of an S-class player. like the general public. It''s only natural that I can''t stand it even for a moment. Cuckoo... Only then did Kang Byung-chan realize the meaning of his words. I was so in a panic that I just ran without covering the water. He recognized that the target was a monster that even the state could not tamper with. I think my brain is getting softer because I''ve been listening to the things below... Don''t forget. Who''s holding the hilt now? After speaking, Jinhyuk activated the ''broadcast system''. There was a recorded video of the conversation between the two of them last night. Of course, pressing it with force. even entrenched as evidence. From the point of view of Kang Byung-chan, it was like he was completely driven out of control. If you think nonsense. You''ll see it on the 9 o''clock news. The tyranny of journalists exploiting powerless individual broadcasters... hey. When this happens with the election season, doesn''t it look like a swarm of candidates for the National Assembly, conscious of public opinion? When even the political world was mentioned, Kang Byung-chan''s face became contemplative. Maybe it''s because I didn''t expect it to come out like this. I, please just that! That''s absolutely not possible. I, absolutely. Oh, don''t worry. The secret will be safe, as long as you''re obedient. If you become a gentle retriever, you will be able to maintain a good relationship. But if you become a beagle or a schnauzer, the lost magic stone will make it look like a kid''s prank. " " startled Kang Byun-chan''s body trembled thinly. It must be because he realized that what Jinhyuk said now was not just a threat. All right. Kang Byung-chan nodded slowly. great. With this, I got another useful chess piece. The 6th floor of the Tower of Trials. Jinhyuk took out a ''mirror that breaks down boundaries'' from the subspace inventory. It was because there was one last thing to do before meeting Sylvia and participating in the Elven Festival. " I told you I was going to teach you how to become stronger. Was that it?" Cheon Yoo-seong looked at Jin-hyuk and the mirror alternately with a puzzled face. An assistant called to handle various chores(?) in this raid. If it''s a swordsmanship, it can be used with a hand that doesn''t get in the way. Of course, considering the guy''s personality, he wrapped his words appropriately. In other words, if you follow me, I will teach you how to become stronger with attributes in a short period of time. Why? If you drink some air over there, you can grow rapidly. If you use this mirror... I know roughly what this is. You get really absurd items. "I was lucky and I did." It''s luck... well, let''s move on to that. Rather, why do you need my help to attack the upper floors of the tower? If you were alone, would you be enough? Huh? Jinhyuk flinched at the words that stabbed Jeonggok. In fact, if you use this shortcut to go to the boss. Additional named monsters appear. Those guys were terribly picky about dealing with subjects that had no nutritional value. So, I tried to make Cheon Yoo-seong make it fit in moderation. this guy Surprisingly, the boundaries are sharp. Probably. After fighting more than 100 times, it seems that he is quick to notice. Kuhhm. What is it? I care for you and think about you. At that time, there were so few players who climbed the tower together? We also had a relationship at that time, so let''s all do well together. That means. Jinhyuk made a lengthy excuse. He lifted him up moderately, comforted him, and shook his opponent''s heart. " " However, Cheon Yu-seong was still a disbelieving face. shit. Anyway, I don''t like this quick-witted kid. Jinhyuk quickly changed the topic. Ah. There is one thing I need to tell you before I go, because I was promoting while hiding my identity. I think I should tell you before I start. Actually... I already know that Unknown is you. Cheon Yuseong interrupted the conversation and intervened. Confidence in the assertive tone of voice. Cheon Yoo-seong had both Jin-hyeok and Un-Know-un nailed to the same line. Even if you edit it, you can''t even fool your own movements. Others don''t know, but at least I knew it from the beginning. ...Is that so? Because it doesn''t make sense to say that there are players who can compete similarly to you. Besides, just looking at the overflowing appearance of middle school students, I couldn''t think of anyone other than you. uhm. The last line takes a while, but it''s surprising. This leech bastard knows how to recognize everyone else. As I live, there comes a time when I will hear all of those things from you. Don''t get me wrong. I admit you''re great, but in the end it''s me who gets over it. What did you expect from this fighter? In the end, the ending where the sword and the sword collide is everything. "Yeah I''m more than a fool who was touched for a while. Jinhyuk shook his head and turned around. Talking about it is enough. Now is the time to move on to a new layer. ''I''m finally writing this.'' Jinhyuk raised his head. That high place in the tower that you can never see from the 6th floor. If it is a ''mirror that breaks down boundaries'', which has been judged as an Overrank, it will allow you to go up to the 10th floor at once. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart started beating fast. It''s still not growing yet. It''s not that I''m afraid to go to the 10th floor. It''s still not growing yet. It''s because I was very excited about being able to go to a place with a high level of difficulty. ''It will be fun in a moment.'' You can only stay on the upper floor for 30 minutes. However, that is enough. not enough For the deceased, 30 minutes is like 30 days for ordinary players. Jinhyuk injected mana into a mirror the size of his palm. Then at that very moment. uuung! [The mirror that breaks down boundaries is activated!] [The target audience is player Jinhyuk Kang and one other person (player Yooseong Cheon).] The surface of the mirror expanded rapidly, and soon turned into a huge gate. Like It feels similar to the gate that Rick opened. ''Actually, this would be a level item that could interfere with causality.'' A gate that can go up to the 40th floor, or a gate in front of you right now, is absurd. Ho-oh. Is it like this? With this strong mana, it must be possible to jump over the tower''s floors. Cheon Yu-seong''s eyes narrowed. So, what floor are we going to? Why are you asking the obvious? Jinhyuk slowly opened his mouth. Open the tenth floor. I chose the highest place I could go from the 6th to the 10th floor. as soon as, [invincibility] Where there are boss monsters with abilities. [The gate is activated.] [The road to the 10th floor ''The Warrior''s Rest'' opens.] I wondered if the surface of the gate was shaking. soon calmed down. Indeed, it''s your choice. Cheon Yoosung smiled bitterly. And I stretched my feet towards the gate. CH 112 A mirror that breaks down boundaries (2) [Time for the mirror to break down boundaries: 0h:29m:59s] with a short status message. The view in front of me has completely changed. A meadow with dazzling starlight pouring down. In the center of it were 22 dark energy companies armed with iron armor. Even though they were still asleep, the mana coming out of their bodies was unusual. The skin is itchy. It means that even the energy that is emitted unconsciously is higher than most people. ''All of them must be named.'' Jinhyuk gave a cold evaluation. " " Cheon Yoo-seong also kept his mouth shut and judged the knights. You''ll be weighing the enemy''s ability with your own. You''re strong. short review. However, if Cheon Yoo-seong says this, it is by no means an exaggeration. It would have been difficult to guarantee a victory even if the large guild''s raids had come as a coalition of 5 or more. It''s pretty strong. So how about it? Is it worth a try? I think we can deal with up to five at the same time. More than that will increase the risk. Of course... All these assumptions must be made on the premise that the monster at the end will not wake up. Their eyes turned to one side. Yes. The most striking among them was the huge stone statue at the end of the dark energy companies. Long time no see. That guy too. Jinhyuk looked at the stone statue with eyes wet with emotion. [The culprit who frustrated and gave up many players in the Tower of Trials.] The boss and guardian of the tenth floor, who never die, exuded an overwhelming sense of intimidation just by being there. Even if you combine all the other dark energy companies, even the toes of that mountain will not be able to keep up. ''First of all, shall we make some preparations?'' Clear this time with Unknown. [Subspace inventory is activated.] Jinhyuk pulled out a mask with a geometric pattern from his subspace inventory. The identity of Unknown in the future is ''barrier company''. I was thinking of editing the scenes using skills and reconstructing the video mainly using barriers. ''Even at this moment, there are a lot of viewers who are looking for Unknown, so it''s time to show them slowly.'' Above all, proper distribution of boss battles was essential even in order to enter the first and second ranks at the same time. ''If you want to deal with all the dark energy companies, you will have a lot of mana that is wasted unnecessarily... .'' That should be avoided. In order to show a splendid performance, you need to save your energy. In addition, a neat build-up had to be supported for directing. In the end, in order to satisfy both of them... . Go! Swordseongmon! I chose you! Jinhyuk tapped Cheon Yooseong''s shoulder next to him. Damn! What the hell do you think of me? Uh huh. It''s a water lily. A water lily. You want to be strong? Then, don''t vomit and follow it unconditionally. Even in martial arts, it takes one year to clean, one year to cook, and one year to do laundry to hold a sword. You have to be grateful that it is being taught as an attribute in a short period of time by drastically reducing it. Don''t be bullshit. Even if you''re fighting together, you can''t deal with them all by yourself. No matter how much I am, it''s unreasonable! Hmm. Does it come out like this too? Well then, let''s do this. If you deal with all those knights and hold on to the boss for a minute, I''ll give you anything you want. At those words, Cheonyuseong''s pupils rapidly expanded. Defeating Jinhyuk is the reason and longing for climbing the tower. Therefore, this proposal now has absolute binding force for Cheon Yoosung. Really? Yeah. You want a 1:1 match with me anyway, don''t you? If you later change your words or pretend you don''t know... Don''t worry. If you succeed, I''ll fight you wherever you want, whenever you want, whether it''s at Jamsil Stadium or in the middle of Myeong-dong. Promise... you must keep it. Sreung! Cheon Yoosung drew his sword. The sword engraved with the runes scattered dazzling sword light. [Cheon Yuseong activates his unique ability ''Song of the Sword''!] Then at that very moment. Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooing In response to the intruder''s mana, the dark energy companies moved in unison. A two-handed sword reaching over 2m tall and 1.5m tall. The heavy weight was felt from the blackened iron armor, but in contrast, the steps were light. This is a haven for warriors. It is a place where only those who deserve it can come. Those who have not built up a feat as a warrior in their lifetime are not allowed to enter. But, you don''t deserve it. A voice sounded like scraping iron. In any case, those who emphasize chivalry and other things are tired just by listening to them. Besides, if it''s the ones who don''t give a single experience point, there''s no better way to go. However. In the part of the clogged one-bone marrow, Cheon Yu-seong was at a level that would be embarrassed if he was the second one to go anywhere. If you interfere with the fight with that guy, I''ll cut them all down! Cheon Yoo-seong, who uttered a cruel word, narrowed the distance at once. Aww! Ganggi from ''Sword of Souls'' collided head-on with the sword of Dark Energy. Dark Energy''s body sank into the ground. Evidence of being pushed back in a power battle. human! Now, in one battle, it was decided which side had the upper hand. However, the problem is . This is not one-to-one. Shoot it! cheeky! Two dark energy companies came to the side of Cheonyuseong. Naturally, as if measured with a ruler, successes aimed at the neck and heart, respectively. Kaka Kaka! Drops of red blood mingled through the roaring flames. a layer of skin. If he had allowed that much more, there would have been a hole in the heart of Cheonyuseong. ''It''s almost dead.'' Jinhyuk, who was watching, blew a small whistle. Is this what it''s like to have sweat on your hands? There is nothing more interesting to see than this because strong guys are pasted together. Fighting completely newbies is fun in a different way, but it''s also more exciting if you have a certain level. ''There are still a lot of loopholes, but it seems like you put a lot of effort into it.'' He didn''t get the title of swordsmanship for free. Considering that each dark energy company is close to 8,000 mana. Cheon Yuseong meant that he was dealing with 22 rankers alone. Chuhon sword is now at the point where the water rises as soon as the water rises. Because of this, the confrontation began to lean to one side little by little as time passed. ''I''ll be done in a few minutes.'' If there was an audience, now is the time to cheer. It was not an easy sight to see a lion overpowering dozens of hyenas. Puppupuck! Three swords were engraved in the center of the black armor. No matter how strong it is, as long as the three lifestones supporting the body are destroyed at the same time, there is nothing to be done. How can someone who can''t build karma.... ...I can''t believe it. I think the pride of a warrior would collapse in such vain. one two. The dark energy companies fell. Naturally, as the number decreased, the power gap widened. And finally . kuung! Even in the last dark energy company, the upper and lower body were split in half. That was then. die! Even at the moment of his death, Dark Energy swung his sword and aimed at Cheonyuseong''s legs. It''s an ambush in the square. Kak! Fortunately, Cheon Yu-seong narrowly received the blow. You''re terribly tenacious. A cold sweat ran down his back. If I had been careless for even a moment, I would have been hit. There were several wounds, but his breathing was not disturbed. The same goes for the remaining mana. For one minute with the last boss, I somehow managed to preserve my strength. Now, there''s only one step left until the rematch with that damn dead man. a little bit. If you just hold on a little longer. I was able to achieve the purpose I had so longed for. Get up. The tip of Cheonyuseong''s sword was directed at the only remaining enemy. OK. [The 10th floor boss monster ''Rock Giant'' wakes up!] The giant, who had remained silent until now, opened his eyes. kukuku kuk kuk! The heavens vibrated violently. The hideous stinging of the skin was unlike anything he had ever felt. ''I hope it will be like this.'' Cheon Yu-seong let out a sigh. It was impossible to beat the opponent now, because he had skipped the floor at once, so his growth had slowed down. I knew that. However, I didn''t think that I would be able to hold out for just one minute. because I got stronger Because it has grown so overwhelmingly that it cannot be compared with the past. I was pretty sure that would be enough. But. The moment he faced the boss, Yuseong Cheon realized. Why did Jinhyeok put forward the condition that he only had to endure for one minute? And how big of a misunderstanding he had been until now. ''Damn it.'' Mana as heavy as the deep sea. How absurd the rise in mana between sleeping and waking up. Totally a monster. ''One minute against this guy... ?'' impossible. It''s not possible. Although he hasn''t exchanged even a single attack yet, Cheon Yu-seong realized the difference in skill between himself and his opponent. This. it''s totally different Coming to this floor, subduing the dark energy companies and waking me up... The rock giant looked at Cheonyuseong. It''s a pretty interesting face. yea that''s the way it is There have been many aliens who have challenged the 10th floor so far, but no one has been able to subdue all Dark Energy companies alone. I see. You are the strongest among humans. The well-groomed rock giant stood up completely. Height up to 5 m. The shield and bayonet, reminiscent of a huge rock, were weapons that neither of them could ignore. Moreover, due to the armor that completely covered the whole body, there was no room for digging. karate is perfect This is the first time I''ve seen Taesan so huge since Jinhyuk. But, now that I''m here, I can''t back down. Because I couldn''t see the way the guy who was smiling slyly behind me liked it even when he died. Pants! A blue light flickered along the sword. Sword Qi, who poured all the mana and raised it. The third formula of the Chumoon Sword was partially realized. ''The best defense is an attack.'' Time will pass if you go crazy. Right now, we need to focus on holding on somehow. fault! The new form of Cheon Yu-seong disappeared. The place that appeared was behind the rock giant. Cheon Yu-seong grabbed his back and drew his sword horizontally. Aww! However. There was not a single scratch on the surface of the rock giant. [invincibility.] Literally, an absolute judgment unique ability that is immune to physical and magical attacks. This is the strongest shield that can''t even penetrate the Sword Qi, as well as the sword. Sword Qi... it''s a remnant of doing trivial things. But, this time, I''ll teach you a few tricks. [The Rock Giant activates Lv15 ''Seokpa Charm''!] The stone giant''s greatsword split the air. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! with a great roar. Everything in front of me began to crumble. The ground cracked and the grass was plowed all over. Not a direct hit, but a shock wave like this. Such ignorant...! Cheon Yuseong screamed and spread his sword. The sword rotated like a pinwheel. However, none of that is of any use. In a way, it was just one swing, but that one shot lightly exceeded the defense skill of the swordsman. kwaaang! Gagging! Cheonyuseong''s center of gravity collapsed in a single blow. It is a mind-bending shock. However, there is no bird to catch a breath. Because the second attack followed immediately. stabbing this time The sword, which was over 2m tall, aimed at a single point and exploded like lightning. Dangerous. This cannot be prevented or avoided. Cheon Yoosung took in a small breath. As I intuited death, the hand holding the sword lost its strength. By the way. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Something was blocking my way. White ice powder flew around the red dagger. It was hard to believe even looking at it, but the great sword was blocked by that small dagger and he couldn''t move forward any more. 1 min. A conversation that feels relaxed. I''m sorry, but it''s a failure. It was Jinhyuk. CH 113 A mirror that breaks down boundaries (3) Uh, how...? The rock giant stuttered. I couldn''t help but be confused. Seokpa Cham is a slash that crushes the enemy in one hit. For that reason, it was normal to have to lightly shred a human being who was only a small creature. By the way. Why? ! Did that person take his blows so effortlessly? There is only one conclusion that can be drawn. That swordsman wasn''t the strongest man. Yeah. It was you. Assuming so, the front and back are correct. It was hard to believe, but the abilities of the humans from outside the tower were far superior to what the rock giant had expected. Well, I''m a little stronger than that leech. Jinhyuk shrugged. " " Cheon Yu-seong made a face that chewed shit, but he couldn''t protest anything. Because he owed his life so unsightly, he had nothing to say even if he had ten mouths. The rock giant changed the question. "How can a human be this strong? No way your guy." Is it from ''Murim''? Or was it from ''Empire''? It''s a Moorim or an Empire... . Well, you might think so. Among humans, there will be no other people who can challenge the 10th floor alone. Actually, there were quite strong talented people among the things that Jeongfani, Saffan, Magyoni did. Likewise, the Empire had built up a fairly strong force within the tower. It was quite sharp for a stone head, but no. I don''t feel a little different from the scholars who question etiquette in the first place, isn''t it? Hmm, your head is a stone? Huh? Since your whole body is rock, wasn''t your head made of granite or basalt? He was a rock giant, so of course he knew that. well or not To whom do you dare say such nonsense! The rock giant was the flagship. At the same time, a line in the form of a chessboard began to be drawn along the ground. A board-type skill that can only be used by some of the boss monsters. [It is a sanctuary.] ''Finally, the first phase begins.'' Jinhyuk lightly relaxed his arms and legs. The boss on the 10th floor consists of two main phases, and the first phase is a way to fight on the floorboard. ''Because the attack varies depending on the color of the board. In fact, whether or not you can respond to the Sanctuary is the key that determines the outcome.'' Watch out for the first, second, and third floors. If I had to pick any advice I could give in this phase, it would definitely be this. ''I''ll try to approach it one step at a time.'' The most important information had already been extracted through ''Eyes of Gluttony''. [Copy Condition: The Rock Giant has one of the absolute judgment abilities, ''Invincible''. Unless it''s an absolute judgment skill of the same class, you won''t be able to break that iron wall. If you can overcome the opponent by crossing the wall, you can copy the opponent''s unique ability.] [However, the activation time of the invincible ability is extremely shortened.] I couldn''t even check the detailed status window because of the level gap. As far as the copying conditions were confirmed, it was definitely confirmed. Easiest condition so far. You are such a strong enemy Just knock them down without any additional conditions. With that, the opponent''s ''invincible'' I was able to bring some of my abilities. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The deck completely engulfed the whole area. completely changed air. Riding the damp wind, an alien mana approached. Now everything you see here [It is the realm of the sanctuary.] die. The rock giant exhaled coldly. A yellow light flickered in the square area where Jinhyeok was. Exactly 0.3 seconds later. Pants! A streak of lightning fell from the sky. It is a lightning strike that is so fast and accurate that there is not even time to react. However. Jinhyuk, who should have turned to ashes, had no wounds. Suddenly, the ice-shaped crystal that appeared for the head blocked the lightning. "Did you react to that?" in that brief moment? Such nonsense. In contrast to the bewildered rock giant, Jin-hyuk made an expression as if he was surprised by something obvious. There''s one thing I''m misunderstanding... The longboard skill tells you in advance where and what will eventually come. And if you know where something is coming from, whether it''s 10 seconds or 1 second or 0.3 seconds... . Avoiding or blocking is a piece of cake. It is also easy to chew the pattern whole. How much more do you give advance notice? I want to get this right, but I can''t. Can''t we just move on to the second phase without straining ourselves? I want to take a shower before coming and avoid sweating again. I came in after washing my face with strawberry-scented soap. It was different from cucumber soap. Don''t be shy about dodging only once. It''s not the only type of floorboard. "If you think that way will make you feel more comfortable, try more." Jinhyuk died. Of course, he wasn''t a rock giant who would pass over such provocations. [Additional mana is injected into Sanctuary ''Sanctuary''!] Fully bloomed due to the boss monster''s mana. The horizontal and vertical sections flickered at once. I wondered if the colorful lights were flashing. Countless skills exploded on the ground. kukukuku! KwaKwaKwang! Aww! Fireworks exploded and blades made of ice poured out. Like a chain reaction. When one triggers, it becomes a fuse and triggers another trap. Of course, there is no such thing as a pattern here. The attack, which was dotted with anomalies and variations, was full of only the will to outrun its prey. [Lv6 ''Sword Demon King Treasure (ħ)'' appears!] Jinhyuk moved like a squirrel in the storm. Finding rules in irregularities is the virtue of the deceased. Already, my body moved in search of a way out without anyone telling me to. The attack aimed at the blind spot and inducing the wrong beat bit the tail, but it doesn''t matter. If your opponent reads two moves ahead, they move in front of three moves. If you read three numbers in front, you can watch them in front of five numbers. tuk. kwaaang! An area that explodes only after avoiding it. fault! Chi profit! Jinhyeok''s movements were at the level of being heard by a god, to the extent that it was said that he was almost squeezing. Of course, from the point of view of the observers, it is inevitable. This Because it was beyond common sense. Finally, Jin-hyeok, who leisurely escaped all the pages, reached the level of a rock giant. There are no wounds. Even breathing was calm. Even if you do more, you''ll have to deal with it. Isn''t it time you know this soon enough? The longboard skill is powerful in the wide area, but it has the disadvantage of requiring a lot of mana to maintain. If you abuse it blindly, it means that no matter how much boss monster you are, you will run out of mana. ...Yeah. I don''t think I can catch annoying flies with this kind of thing. The buffalo giant waved his hand lightly. [The Sanctuary ''Sanctuary'' is shutting down.] The lines drawn on the floor lost their light. This ended the first phase. Unlike the first time, the leisure felt by the rock giant disappeared. it has to be acknowledged. The fact that your opponent is never easy. And. "How much more have you grown in the meantime?" Cheon Yu-seong, who watched all of that, bit his molars. Obviously, a day is 24 hours. Yes, everyone was given the same amount of time. However. Even though we spent the same time. Even though I tried to die for the same amount of time. What do you mean by moore? This gap is now so far away that even the fingertips cannot reach it. [The second phase ''brawl'' begins.] [Only one survivor of a 1:1 confrontation can escape from this place.] When the second phase started, Jinhyuk pulled out another item from the subspace inventory. A red liquid inside a barrier engraved with complex runes. ''Blood of Medusa''. Originally, Medusa who had left the temple loses its power. An exception is the case of sealing a part of it with a barrier. ''There are so few players who have the job of a barrier company, and there is no player like me who can connect more than 3 barriers in a complex way.'' It is natural that this method is not known. Of course, it''s not that easy to approach that guy even if you have the petrification ability with absolute roll. This is because there are more than 3,000 types of attack patterns of the rock giant, and the pattern changes each time. ''The worst part is that there is only one gap in each pattern.'' In other words, you only have one chance to pierce the loophole. Mistakes soon lead to failure. After all, this means that every situation has to be designed perfectly. Not only to apply Medusa''s blood to him, of course, so that he can escape alive after that. Uh-huh... Jinhyuk took a deep breath. In line with the sound of my heartbeat, I checked the sense of rhythm that I had memorized so tiredly. one step. One more step again. If possible, you need to move quickly and light to get into the guy''s arms. That moment when breathing is held constant. jerk. Jinhyuk entered the guy''s range. Hey. You''re the first to enter my street. I have to admit that I have a great spirit of challenge. Their eyes collided with the rock giant. Your skin stings just by making eye contact. [It would have been unbearable if mana had not been offset by the mental barrier.] The sense of intimidation emanating from the boss monster on the 10th floor was that heavy. However. Challenge is a term used when doing something difficult. This level is enough to enjoy moderately thrillingly. There was still no tension in Jinhyuk''s face. It''s a natural thing. No matter how many players frustrated the boss, it is only an obstacle on the 10th floor. For Jin-hyeok, who has already seen the end of the tower, he is just one of the many tasks he has to pass. ...I''ve decided. From now on, I''ll do my best to tear off that snout. The rock giant pulled out a new sword he was wearing on his back. Three different types of jewels embedded in the sword. [The Rock Giant activates Lv18 ''Will of the Rock''!] [Attack power and attack speed increase by 15% each for 10 minutes!] [All skills possessed by the target increase by 1 Lv!] With the pouring status window. The real battle began. come. Although it has a size of up to 5 meters, its movements are like swallows full of water. The distance narrowed in an instant. The great sword in the rock giant''s hand crossed across. Boo woo woo! A terrifying blow pierced the eardrum. Jinhyuk avoided the attack by a single sheet of paper. However. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A huge shock wave followed. Then the ground began to dry up like a tortoise shell. [The Red Jewel ''Curse of Heat (ɳ)'' is activated!] Unlike the time of Cheonyuseong, the sword''s attack power has risen beyond comparison due to the gem. ''Is it this much even though I avoided it?'' Even if you rub even one room, that''s it. It really is an incredible power. Because the timing was tight, there was a small gap between the stone giant''s attack and the attack. However, this is a trap. If I took this opportunity as an opportunity, I''m sure my whole body would be crushed by the guy''s shield right away. if so . CH 114 . A mirror that breaks down boundaries (4) Combine barrier and skill to create a high-level trap. It looks simple, but it is a technique that contains a whopping three combinations. [''Glacier Formation (Form)'' and ''Perennial Ice Jade (fz) are activated!] [Barrier ''Protection Protection'' is activated!] [Barrier ''Frost Enhancement'' is activated!] A stream of ice rose from the floor and swallowed the entire body of the rock giant. ''Property Protection'' If you use a barrier, you can maximize the cold property. Thin ice began to form along the surface of the hard rock. But. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! It''s disgusting! The ice prison couldn''t hold the rock giant for even 3 seconds. This is because, in addition to the trait of ''don''t die'', the physical and magic resistance of the rock giant was unimaginably high. In pieces of ice that are crumbling to pieces. Pants... ! This time, the brilliance at the tip of the dagger flickered. Aww! A single straight beam of light struck the rock giant''s face. [Daylight and ] [I collected the mandala to the limit and released it... .] Nevertheless, the stone giant''s balance was not broken. It was only a slight scorching of the surface. It was a pretty interesting link, but that''s all. No attack can hurt me. It doesn''t seem like it''s that hard. No, he showed off his unique ability as if he didn''t even need to block it with a shield. It''s solid, too. It''s well-balanced on the air. It''s also good for movement. It''s not bad around the 10th floor. The mouth is still alive. "I don''t often hear stories like that." Jinhyuk shrugged. Then a strange laugh escaped the rock giant''s mouth. It''s good. Very good. Keep killing them like that. I need a taste of trampling on those guys so that I can feel a sense of relief from this tedious task, even for a moment. The farther the opponent runs, the more The more you pretend to be relaxed. The pleasure also increases when it is smashed. The guy knew that. Hey. I''m like that too. It''s probably hard for us to get to know each other. Since we enjoy tormenting each other, can we share roles? I think so. So let''s just finish this. The rock giant is poised to attack again. It looks like a lot of flaws have been revealed. Of course, there was a good reason for ignoring the defense and pouring everything into the attack alone. Because Jinhyuk couldn''t hurt his body with any of the skills he currently possesses. ''In fact, unless there is a relic that defies the absolute judgment skill or rule, I''m sure you will never lose.'' But it doesn''t matter. It''s not like you can win only if you have the absolute judgment skills one after another. ''I fought giant monsters with just one spoon, but that''s about it.'' The power to win with the little things you have right now. That was the way the deceased climbed the tower. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. We already had a rough idea of what pattern he would use in this phase through the previous encounter. The center of gravity is tilted forward by about 3 degrees. The hand holding the sword is also located 35 cm above the handle. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. there''s no way you don''t know How could you not know? ''C-158'' pattern. This is one of the patterns I memorized when dealing with this rock giant. ''After all, after a few attacks, information flows naturally.'' As I was trying to organize more than a few thousand patterns, I divided them into A, B, C, and D by major features, and then classified the detailed patterns by attaching numbers. C is the attack-specific pattern among them. Simply put, it can be said that it has the characteristic of actively removing intruders outside of their domain. ''The risk is high, but it is a pattern in which a relatively large number of loopholes are revealed instead.'' it went well this way Because I had to succeed in this raid within 30 minutes of the time limit. Jinhyuk took his seat again. At the same time, the rock giant posed for a charge with a bayonet and a shield. Challenger. I will test how many times you can withstand my attacks and make a Treasured sword. Well . I know you''re good-looking and I know your attacks are bitter, but can''t you keep your mouth shut and fight? It''s strange how he spit out such a comment every time and swing his sword. It''s not like the invincible ability is all concentrated in the snout. "I hope when I fall, I''m not going to fall down while talking about the second disease, right?" ''Fufu. It was a good fight''. "It was, indeed, a blow suited to the end of this body" or something. ''You can finally rest'' etc. Already, a feeling of insecurity creeped up. I''d like to avoid such a scruffy ending if possible. cheeky! kwaang! A rock giant sprinting from his seat. thud! thud! thud! thud! Grass and soil were dug up at random. However, Jinhyuk allowed his opponent to approach him with ease. Embarrassment? fear? fear? there is no such thing Even if he said he made a lot of players tremble, from Jinhyuk''s point of view, he''s just a boss monster that has already been defeated several times. Considering the future, this is just one of the many points we have to pass through. Boo woo woo! The great sword split the wind again. This time, it was an attack that carried the center of gravity properly. ''I''ll have to stop avoiding it soon.'' According to the pattern, from now on, you have to accept it and entice the opponent little by little. And of course, it would be unreasonable to bear that weight with a dagger. Suddenly, the weapon in Jinhyuk''s hand changed. This time, a pair of sharp twin dragon swords poured out so much swords that it made my eyes ache. [The unique ability ''Sword Graveyard'' is activated!] A sword that was dyed black in an instant. The memories of the swordsman permeated his body. like that. The view you see has completely changed. ''great.'' Jinhyuk moved his twin dragon swords in line with the trajectory of the flying greatswords. Kaka-ga-ga-gak! Kaang! Natural movement like flowing water. While using the bevel of the sword to properly apply power. bang! kwaang! An anomalous exploding sword strike struck the rock giant''s body. close to the counter. Normally, it was a blow that was sharp enough to win with just one attack. Again, the result was the same. Because there wasn''t a single scratch on the rock giant''s surface. It''s a disgusting unique ability. When you see something like this, it makes sense that people give up. It makes sense. If you can''t inflict a single wound after fighting all day, who''s worth participating in a raid? I have no choice but to try and spit it out once and fold it. Jinhyeok, who spoke briefly, summoned the abilities of the ''Great Library''. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A golden parchment was spread behind Jinhyuk''s back with a brilliant cloud dance. An infinite library of skills was revealed. To maximize the effectiveness of all skills here... . [Because of the level difference with the target, the ''Gap'' is activated to the maximum!] Gap and luck stats, as well as adaptive stats. Everything that had been built up in the meantime was spewing out like an explosion. kukukuku! A ray of light falling through the stars. Jinhyuk, who even wore ''Blessing of the Stars'', started to raise the mana. Not sparing all his strength would indicate his will not to avoid it from now on. At that ferocious look, an interesting light flashed on the face of the rock giant. Hey. Are you going to fight me head-to-head? Well. Is there anything you can''t do? Jinhyuk raised the tip of his sword. As if to come in openly. And. He was not a rock giant who would avoid the battle of strength and power. Fun! A huge sword soared high into the sky. [The green gem ''curse of overlap'' is activated!] The weight of the greatsword has increased significantly. It might be more appropriate to say that it is closer to a lump of iron than a sword. In line with it. It is now! Jinhyuk brought out a new skill. [Lv2 ''Giant''s Grasp'' is activated!] From your fingertips to your shoulders. The muscles expanded rapidly. As all stats and skills were used in overlapping situations, the power was able to exert more than just the category of level 2. Aww! The sword and the sword collided with a roar. The shock was so intense that his feet dug into the ground, but Jinhyuk endured the blow. Considering that the weight of the green gem has increased by nearly 5 times due to the effect of the green gem, it is an absurd result. I... can''t. You''ve survived this? Then it was the rock giant who was surprised. This is because he never imagined that there would be a player who could stand up to him with pure power. "I wonder isn''t this also written as strength? If the name of the 10th floor boss was simply because of one unique ability, well. This is very disappointing." provocative remarks. What a fucking human being! Who dares to be arrogant in front of you! The enraged rock giant swung his sword frantically. It was an onslaught that raged like a storm to the extent that it could not be compared with the first. bang! kwaang! kwaaang! However, Jinhyeok received all those attacks. No matter how fast and strong the attack is, it''s just following the pattern you memorized anyway. Now that you''ve memorized everything, all you have to do is move your body as it responds. little by little at the same time. very little. attracted the opponent. ''Now we''re almost there.'' The point where the stars floating in the night sky and the light of ''Star Blessing'' intersect. The very place where the two lights come together is the point that determines the success or failure of this raid. It is important from here. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. ''You must aim for the moment when two starlights meet.'' right then The body of the rock giant came into the light. I saw a magic stone that could be said to be the driving force behind the giant. caught! Jinhyuk sang the runes in time for only one time. [The 1-star barrier ''window that traps light'' is activated!] A pure white rune spread around the rock giant. It happened really quickly. Hey, is this...? The rock giant tried to escape, but this time it didn''t go his way. Aww! The bayonet blocked by the barrier bounced back. The ''light trapping window'' is a special barrier that can trap starlight, and when activated at the correct timing, it can exert a fairly strong binding force. It means that no matter how much a boss monster is, it cannot be destroyed in one hit. the gap so created. Jinhyuk put ''Medusa''s blood'' through the hole in the barrier that was as wide as his thumb. Drops of blood spinning round and round in the air soon touched the surface of the rock giant. right at that moment. [Absolute judgment ''Curse of Petrification'' is activated!] [Absolute judgment ''Invincible Blessing'' resists!] Two abilities collided. Medusa''s unique ability with the proposition, ''It must turn the target into stone.'' And the unique ability of the rock giant with the proposition ''Make sure the target does not die''. Like the contradiction between the spear and the shield, when the absolute judgment ability and the absolute judgment ability collide, a kind of void is created. A blank area where even causality cannot intervene. It was the responsibility of the third person, Jinhyeok, to break that tight balance. There are other ways, but I like this one the best. What? Was your heart pounding at the pleasure of the confident face of the enemy being distorted by despair? Jinhyuk smiled brightly at the rock giant. Now, it''s time for the moving stone to become a true stone. CH 115 A mirror that breaks down boundaries (5) [The unique ability ''Blood Magic'' is activated.] The ability to aggravate the target''s wounds. There is no ability like this to break the tightly maintained balance. As the dark red energy slowly rose, something strange happened to the body of the rock giant, which was like an iron wall. The petrification of Medusa began to take effect. kukukuku! [The absolute judgment ''Curse of Petrification'' appears!] A dark gray wave rose from the area where the liquid had touched. Me... the blood of the Dousa remains in effect even after leaving the temple. You bastard! What the hell did you use! The rock giant was the flagship. ''Absolute Judgment'', which exists in a few under the 10th floor ability. However, most of them are extremely difficult to obtain, and even if they did, no one knew how to use them properly. Even the higher beings who protect the hierarchy didn''t know everything about it. Of course, it would be impossible for such a trivial human being. By the way. That cheeky human knows a way he doesn''t even know! Answer me! Human! Answer me right now! As the rock giant slowly hardened, he tried to ask why he had suffered. The curiosity about this situation is probably bigger than death. However, Jinhyuk did not answer that question. If you tell me anyway, he won''t know. ''Because you''ll never understand how much trial and error and frustration I''ve gone through.'' A state where even repetition and boredom can be sublimated into the joy of a challenge. It was only because of this one that he was able to uncover many secrets about the tower. Gagging play! The rock giant''s body hardened more and more rapidly. The petrification that started from the legs had progressed to the chest. In a few minutes, the head will be completely engulfed. This is the end of the 10th floor boss monster ''Rock Giant'' that made everyone frustrated. Jinhyuk looked at the end with emotionless eyes. and after a while. The rock giant turned into a perfect stone. T-tiring! [The 10th floor boss monster ''Rock Giant'' has fallen!] [The 11th floor of the Tower of Trials is open!] [Since the middle floor is not attacked, only players who can go to the 11th floor are those who have received the ''permission'' of the first attacker.] [Time remaining until conquering next floor: 89D 23h:59m:59s] [Level has risen.] [Level has risen.] [Level has risen.] [Level has risen.] [Level has risen.] [[Rock Giant''s Greatsword-] You have acquired ''Armor Breaker''.] [[Rock Giant''s Shield-] You have acquired the ''Gray Heart''.] [You have acquired the Coin Exchange ''Cookie Bag Promotion (Limited-Time Item)''] [Surprising achievements will be inscribed in the ''Hall of Fame'' for two days.] [You have acquired the unique ability ''1 second invincibility''.] A whopping 5 levels. Items used by the boss monster were also dropped there. ''I couldn''t give up climbing the tower with this taste.'' A sense of accomplishment that you have gone through a difficult process. It''s good to have the hope of seeing new places. The best thing was the reward that came after hard work. The Tower of Trials and the community, the intelligence department of a large guild, the view tube, the press, and numerous media. In fact, the whole world was turned upside down. I had no choice but to do so. The video that is now in the ''Hall of Fame'' was beyond common sense. -Watermelon Flavored Nose: Not long ago, there was an uproar because of a video uploaded by Kang Jinhyuk player, but this time Unknown is throwing a stone at my heart. - Mr. Nogada Kim: So. This is the first time I''ve heard that there are ancient servants and middle managers. -Apple tart: oj. To be honest, I thought that video would be number one for at least a month. -zerokpl1005: But, ha... . It''s on the 10th floor lol. What the hell did Unknown do? -Mid Faker: Actually, it broke the ceiling and flew to the 10th floor. I agree? ??. -Great for men: It''s actually more stagnant than we can imagine. I wish I could learn from watching the white golf course or the guilds that come and go in and out. -Seyoung Eonhwan: I heard there are rumors that there is a hidden piece that can go beyond the floor... Did it really exist? -Baeksuwitsu: Huh. but. From what I heard, it seems that such a hidden piece can only explain this case if it exists. -Screaming Daram: The job called barrier company turns out to be a super hidden job, isn''t it? If this is it. -Seolyeon''s 20th class: People with excellent foreign language skills should learn ancient runes instead of English or Chinese. -5252: My heart is enlarged. -Coca is Coke Zero: By the way, it''s a real jagangducheon. The title of the highest ranker seems to be shared between the two of us. But, who will count more of the two? in the compliments that follow. A viewer raised a sensitive topic. Like, if a lion and a tiger fight, who will win? Or who is better, Messi or Ronaldo? etc. It is a word that I ponder countless times inside, but I should never bring it out. However, Coke Zero broke that taboo. Eventually, the community began to heat up like crazy. -Lord, I''m sending another one: You''re comparing the 10th floor cleared with the Ancient Bell. Of course it''s unknown. Am I the only one who saw another video? -There are bad dogs in the world: You are making fun of someone who will be bitten by a Chihuahua in my house, taming an ancient species. Where are you trying to rub a gloomy guy who hides his face behind a mask on Jinhyuk Kang? Just looking at it, it''s a battle between the heavens and the human world. -Watermelon flavored snot: ???j. Even so, there are many more achievements that Jinhyuk Kang has done. I didn''t even show you the detailed process to get to the 10th floor. More likely to be lucky. -Apple tart: Everyone knows that the 10th floor boss has invincible abilities, right? It is said that some rankers who were pioneers in the past succeeded in attacking and were able to go to the 11th floor. The strategy has yet to be revealed. -AT T''s major shareholder: Yes, no. However, Jinhyuk Kang. -CCL5004: Yeah right. Unknown delegates more. -Audioner: Do it in moderation, you bastards! It was really uproar. It was hard to keep up with the speed of comments running with my eyes. ''Isn''t this almost at the level of fighting between fan clubs?'' Jinhyuk, who was scanning the community, lost his appetite. The ID of Cola Zero was actually a paternal line created by Jinhyuk. I poked a matchstick in the hopes of igniting a moderate fire. The response was beyond imagination. Jinhyuk Kang and Unknown. It is precisely what the two characters planned to compete with each other to recruit fan bases. ''The overlapping part between the two should be cast appropriately with editing skills... .'' As he himself had edited numerous videos without an editor, he was quite confident in his editing skills. After confirming the reaction to some extent, Jinhyuk stretched out for a long time. wow ''My arms and legs are all sore.'' I ran wild against the boss on the 10th floor for a while, and I did a good workout once. sure, [Thanks to the operation of the Jintae Cheonghwarang heart method, there was no fatigue left.] Still, I''ll have to make a sound of pain at least once. Because you defeated a boss monster that other people could never win even if they risked their lives to fight. Jinhyeok, who had been very strict, looked at the items laid out on the marble floor of the hotel this time. ''Armor Breaker'' and ''Gray Heart''. The poison effect yielded the best things you could get from the gnome. That''s why I think the solo game that can eat 100% of the contribution is the best. I was able to eat all the most delicious parts. ''This is probably... I remember it as a tanker-only item.'' Jinhyuk looked at the items through ''Eyes of Gluttony''. [Armor Breaker] Acquisition Difficulty: SS Attack Damage: 2850 Durability: 550/580 Weight: 105kg Effect: Ignores 30% of the opponent''s total defense. If you hit an effective attack 10 times in a row, the stun effect is activated for 1 second. Feature: ''Tank'' Only players who have completed class change can use it. Since the attack power of the 10-strength dagger strengthened in the labyrinth was 280, it is an item that boasts a whopping 10 times stronger attack power. It means that any piece of armor can be crushed in one hit. In addition, the defense ignoring effect and the stun effect were not enough to even call it a morale. ''This can''t be put on the market.'' This item is too good for other players to use. ''I can''t see anything better than me, even if I die.'' not cancer. No matter how many coins you give, or other items that match it. If there were even 1% risk factors, it was standard to avoid them. [Gray Heart] Acquisition Difficulty: SS Defense: 120,558 Durability: 1800/2000 Weight: 200kg Effect: Gain an additional 10% defense against physical and magical attacks. When 1:1 with an enemy, the weight is reduced by 30% for 1 hour. Feature: ''Tank'' Only players who have completed class change can use it. The same goes for the shield. The formidable defense and rare effects make it impossible for a tanker to say that he wants to save his soul by selling it. ''If I sell it, I''ll have to hand it over to divinities with a high desire to own it.'' Because if they were, they would never hand over their collections to players. It would eliminate the risk of raising a useless competitor. Rick could be a stepping stone. no big problem ''By the way, I''ve gained a lot from this raid as well.'' Jinhyuk nodded his head as if satisfied. The opportunity to practice various combinations by using skills and barriers in conjunction does not come very often. It was the only opportunity that was possible thanks to the special environment of invincibility. So, I was able to shoot my skills to my heart''s content without sparing my power. Some combinations have been quite satisfactory, and we will be able to apply them in more various ways in the future. Here are the new unique abilities. It was ''invincible for 1 second''. [1 second invincible] Description: This is an invincible ability used by the 10th floor boss monster, the rock giant. However, the copied ability only lasts for 1 second, and it takes 240 hours to reuse it. It was a bit disappointing that the boss was not always invincible. Although there was an extreme limitation of time seconds, it could be usefully used in an urgent battle. ''finally .'' Jinhyuk''s gaze turned to one side of the floor. Lastly, the third reward, ''Cookie Bag Promotion'', is an item that can be used to learn skills related to the second job change. this is pretty fun He had the ability to fully refund the coin if he succeeded in learning by purchasing one related ability with a coin. Of course, since the difficulty was extremely high, it was the limit for even the most popular players to succeed two or three times... . ''That''s the story of the middle-aged people.'' to the deceased. No, you shouldn''t give this kind of reward to rotting water. It will wipe out everything with just one chance. ''In the first place, the very word of clearing one coin is strange.'' If you really want to keep the name impregnable. It is the right way not to allow even one chance. Jinhyuk tore a 30cm-long piece of paper in half. [You have used the cookie bag promotion.] [Secondary job-related skills are unlocked. (Three-star or lower, a total of 117 barrier-related skills were found.)] [The coin required to learn skill 1 is 750,000 coins, and if you fail to acquire it, you can pay the same amount of coins and try again. However, if successful, 750,000 coins will be refunded as it is.] [The period is 24 hours.] Successive status windows. Next to it, a total of 117 barrier-related skills were listed. It doesn''t even have to take 24 hours. I''ll finish it in three hours. Jinhyuk, who smiled leisurely, read his first ability. CH 116 . Moonlight Festival (1) [In order to learn the 1-star barrier ''Optical Refraction'', you have to place 3 runes... .] That''s easy. Before the explanation was even finished, Jinhyuk drew the runes in an instant. The ''imprint of the moon'' engraved on the shoulder instantly radiated a dazzling light. [You have acquired the 1-star barrier ''Optical Refraction''.] [Win the Cookie Bag Event!] [750,000 coins will be refunded!] [Do you want to challenge yourself to learn the next barrier?] A method of adding new information to previously known knowledge. Like a kind of infusion education, new contents about optical refraction permeated Jinhyuk''s mind. ''Oh. Could optical refraction be used in this way?'' An interesting smile passed by Jinhyuk''s lips. Even if you know 99%, if you have 1% freshness, that alone would be worth learning the ability. That''s why it''s better to choose a job you''ve never done before. It''s been a really long time since I was able to learn things I didn''t know about the tower. ''Certainly, formally learning it helps to understand barriers more completely.'' Jinhyuk immediately opened the next barrier. [If you want to learn the 1-star barrier ''under dark feet''... .] Is this a trap-type barrier? Likewise, Jinhyuk drew the runes before the explanation was even halfway through and placed them. You don''t even need to listen to hints about basic techniques. That''s about it. It is a level of difficulty that you can do while sleeping. ''Well, it''s only a one-star rating.'' Jinhyuk, who muttered mutterly, was given the next task. Countless processes of taking the challenge and getting a coin refund followed. Most of the players who chose Barrier had to tie their heads up and grunt, but it was a difficult question whether they could barely solve it. For Jinhyuk, it was just the basic of the basics. Time passed. The number indicating the barrier''s gender has been increased. [2-star .] [3-star .] A rapidly flashing status window. The higher the difficulty, the faster the barrier was acquired. The deceased was slowly starting to catch on. at last. [Stop it, you idiot!] [Are we digging the soil to do business?] [Somehow, he doesn''t spend a single penny on a coin, and he''s eating out all of our belongings! This little guy''s Shiki... !] The system that exceeded the limit began to run rampant. The act of completely disregarding morality. Giving and withdrawing as many as 750,000 coins, and repeating it endlessly, of course, you can''t help but get hot. However, Jinhyuk lightly ignored the warning from the system. Hey. This house is very delicious. What is this, even a generously giving tree would be teased as a hogu? Whether it hurts or not is up to you. This is just the exercise of right under the set rules. Jinhyuk increased his speed even more. Barriers, which are very difficult to understand, have been run through. And finally. [You have acquired the 117th barrier.] I have cleared all barriers to learn. It happened in just two and a half hours. The 6th floor of the Tower of Trials. After finishing all the work outside the tower, Jinhyuk headed to the meeting place to participate in the elves'' festival. ''It''s nice that it''s leisurely, but it''s only then that I feel like the main character in the apocalypse.'' Originally, it was a place that players did not often find, but after the news of the attack on the 10th floor spread, it became a ghost forest. After all, only those who had the permission of the player who cleared the 10th floor could enter the 10th floor. Of course, everyone must have turned on the lights and tried to find Unknown. Exactly... . ''Chun Yoo-seong, who believes in Unknown.'' Jinhyuk''s face turned sinister. A situation in which Cheon Yoo-sung has already spread the rice cake called Unknown in every corner of the community. It was only a pity to the last, but thanks to the addition of plausible hypotheses, there were quite a few fish caught. I don''t know, but there are many reporters, guild officials, and crooked fans around Cheon Yoo-seong, so a situation that is comparable to Busan''s Haeundae in August is being produced. For this purpose, the existence of Cheonyuseong was omitted from the raid video on the 10th floor. ''I''ll have to apologize later.'' Not once or twice like this. If you say you''re truly sorry, he''ll probably understand. Perhaps . maybe it is Jinhyuk erased the things about Cheon Yuseong from his mind. Considering what the damn swordsman has been doing all this time, this is because he couldn''t even get into the axis of revenge. Instead of a troublesome thought, Jinhyuk pulled out a cutie pet from his subspace inventory. The sweet potato, who had toddled, looked around eagerly. You''ve just been born, so anything must look strange. Green Mosquito! Yeah, that''s right. This is grass. Jinhyuk looked at the sweet potato smelling the grass with a happy expression. Watching the black sweet potatoes wiggle, I thought that someday I would like to go to the white snow floor together. also. Roasted sweet potatoes were the perfect recipe for winter. A happy and peaceful atmosphere continued. Until the sweet potato tried to put a poisonous mushroom in its mouth. Wait! You''re not eating that! Red Mosquito! The sweet potato chewed and ate the Omulomul clown mushroom. Drying it is of no use. How can you stop them when they say they won''t lose them even if they die? Of course, the ancient species won''t get sick of eating one poisonous mushroom, but... . Whoa. Jinhyuk let out a deep sigh. That''s why parents seem to say that they shouldn''t take their eyes off their kids for a second. After a riot, Jinhyuk walked through the forest with sweet potatoes. The remaining time is about 3 hours. You have to hurry to get there on time. How long did you walk past those familiar forests and trees? Finally, the two were able to reach the place where they were supposed to meet. But. ''It''s like fucking elves.'' Arrived on time, but obviously Sylvia was nowhere to be seen. Do you think that being one or two hours late if you live for more than a thousand years is the beauty of a blank space? Even if I hang it upside down during that time, will I be able to laugh at the time promise? . I started to seriously want to try it. However, Jinhyuk shook his head immediately. done. If we discuss the preciousness of time with things like new games, this is the only loss. ''I have to do something that I couldn''t finish at the hotel.'' Originally, I was going to do it after entering the village of elves. It wouldn''t be a bad idea to deal with the vacant time now. Jinhyuk immediately activated the status window. Name: Kang Jin-hyuk Gender: Male Age: 27 Level: 35 Strength 20 Dexterity 20 Stamina 20 mana 80 Gap 100 Luck 10 Adaptive 78 Stat Points you have: 15 Coins held: 127,558 Occupation: Rune Interpreter Unique Abilities: ''Fusion'', ''Sword Grave'', ''Star Blessing'', ''Anubis'' Judgment'', ''Blood Magic'', ''Mandala'' ''1 second invincible'' skill: Lv6 ''Element of Fire'', Lv5 ''Eye of Gluttony'', Lv4 ''Communion'', Lv5 ''Stigma of Souls'', Lv4 ''Reading'', Lv4 ''Shallow Breath'', Lv8 ''Glacier Formation'', Lv4 '' Daylight'', Lv2 ''Giant''s Grasp'', Lv3 ''Chuhon Sword (׷ꄦ)'', Lv1 ''Double Agent'', Lv1 ''Jintae Cheonghwarang Heart Method'', Lv2 ''Sword Demon King Treasure''ħ)'', Lv1 ''A hazy body odor'', Lv1 ''Mental barrier'', Lv1 ''Heavenly melody'', Lv1 ''Diner of another world'' barrier: The number of barriers learned is too many to ''fold'' state has been switched to. stuff that''s full of stuff. All of this was the result of how hard he had been running. ''There are so many types of barriers, so it seems to be displayed that way.'' The important thing is to distribute the stat points obtained by catching the rock giant. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. So far, I have mainly uploaded mana, but now I have to give it a little variation. ''Since I skipped 4 floors at a time, I guess I''ll need to balance other stats from the 11th floor as well.'' especially fitness. It was better to raise the stamina stat to create synergy with the passive ''shallow breathing''. After that, the battles were longer or there were more occasions to go to a melee. [Strength increases from 20 to 22.] [Agility increases from 20 to 22.] [Health increases from 20 to 31.] Raise other things, but put more weight on stamina. In this way, stat distribution was completed. ''I''m getting stronger.'' Experience as a deceased person and skills filled with it. There is even a huge stat reward through the first clear. pounding! pounding! pounding! Jinhyuk''s heart started beating rapidly. It was hard to hide the excitement at seeing himself growing so much that no one dared follow him. Yes. ''I will be the first to go ahead.'' Without a single mistake, only the best process will produce the best results. Because I had seen the top of the tower for that. And. ''Because no one else will see the top of the tower except me.'' no one else only one in the world. I am the only one who can climb this tower to the end. Jinhyuk once again strengthened his resolve. But right then. Oh! You''re early! An elf with short hair and pointed ears appeared from beyond the bushes. It was Sylvia, a ranger. Jinhyuk''s eyebrows were curved in the opposite direction. ...are you here early? You said you came early!? Why, why? Do you know how long I''ve been waiting here? Yes? Well, that''s good for me too... Sylvia shook her head slightly. ha. you are well Can you see this? Did a mushroom grow on my body after waiting too long? "Ah I don''t think I can see " Shut up! What are you saying you did well? Now! Yes!? Above all else, my baby got a stomachache while eating it! Jinhyuk pointed his finger at the mouth of the sweet potato. Red Mosquito! Leftover clown mushroom crumbs were hanging around the mouth of the sweet potato. It was an absurd remark that made no sense in common sense, but Sylvia''s face turned white at Jinhyuk''s words, which were rushing like a rapid-fire gun. Her lips trembled as if she had completely lost her soul. It''s nothing like making fun of an inexperienced novice ranger. Should it be said that there is a difference between a 100-year-old stag beetle and a newborn yellow crocodile? In the end, Sylvia had to pay the price for being half an hour late. "Oh, that I''m sorry. I thought I had come sooner. I didn''t know you had been waiting so long." Let''s be careful going forward. Yeah? Yes, yes! From now on, I will definitely come on time. Sylvia nodded quickly. Jinhyuk''s mood was somewhat relieved by the appearance of being completely submissive. Den, who relieves stress, is nothing like making fun of a frightened newbie. By the way. Why are you so late? Ah. Actually, I have work to do about the festival. It may sound like an excuse, but I was very busy. Well, collecting ''swamp figs'' is not an easy task. At Jinhyuk''s words, an earthquake occurred in Silvia''s pupils. "Well, how do you know about that?" how do you know I know because I went to town before and was even deported. Even then, I remember the elves bending their spines to collect those fruits. Where did you pick it up? Jinhyuk, who was roughly wrapped around him, turned towards the forest. "Otherwise, you have to go to the left to get to the village " ttttttttttttttttttttt It''s also called an elf. It''s much faster this way. Sylvia reached out, but Jinhyuk did not pretend to listen and began to take the lead. CH 117 . Moonlight Festival (2) Ha ha ha ha ha. Sylvia took a deep breath and looked like she was about to die. yea that''s the way it is The road on the right that Jinhyuk guided was so rough that even the elves did not go. A rough road that is known to be virtually blocked. However, Jinhyeok dug through the cracks in the rocks and traversed through the bushes, running through the village at a really crazy speed. Jinhyuk, who had arrived a long time ago and was doing physical gymnastics, looked at Sylvia, who followed later. I''ll go this way from now on. It''s much faster. I''m not really good at telling you this. Time is precious, so I''m giving you a special shortcut. At Jinhyuk''s words, Sylvia gave off a look of surprise. Yeah, that must be quick! How can you be slow to come down this crazy road? Even if you shorten the time, you can shorten it several times. The only problem is that it is a road that is not strange even if a few people die on the way. ''How on earth could a human being show such a movement?'' Even if there is an advanced ranger who is not in this position, it is impossible to show such dazzling and natural movements. Besides, don''t you know the path so perfectly that even the elves who were born and raised here don''t know? It was hard to believe even looking at it. This Because it completely broke common sense. ''Wow, it''s not like a polymorphic Dragon, is it? Like coming down from the tower to play. So the elf meat Knock-knock.'' That was when Sylvia was drowning in all sorts of delusions. I wondered if I could hear a very faint rustling sound. Boo-woong! Shoo woo! Something flew away with the sound of the wind splitting. fast. Oh? Sylvia was startled and could not react, but suddenly Jinhyuk was holding a reddish dagger in his hand. Kaaan! The bounced arrows spun in the air and hit the floor. An arrowhead made of white wood and an arrowhead engraved with a colorful pattern. It must be the elves. Your attitude towards guests is very bad. Is it because the housewarming party didn''t bring any presents? Jinhyuk shrugged. Then a number of elves appeared from beyond the forest. ''A lot of people have gathered.'' At first glance, there are more than twenty. Rangers armed with longbows and daggers completely surrounded Jinhyuk. "Because it''s a guest you mean your guy?" It was a male elf with long silver hair who spoke coldly. It has a beautiful appearance that you can only see in movies. However, what caught Jinhyuk''s eyes was the annoying memory of the guy himself, not his appearance. A high elf, Tethlon, who is the commander of the rangers and is at the same time the highest rank, first rank. Yes. That''s probably the guy''s name. Jinhyuk quickly activated the ''Eyes of Gluttony''. Name: Tesla Gender: Male Age: 926 Level: 30 Strength 18 Dexterity 30 Stamina 21 mana 45 Forest Spirit 40 Occupation: Senior Ranger Unique ability: ''White hair and 100 heavy weight (ٰl)'' skill: Lv6 ''Rapid Fire'', Lv6 ''Strengthen Spirit'', Lv5 ''Light Step'', Lv5 ''Blessing of Wind'', Lv4 ''Clairvoyance'' [Copy Conditions: Teslon is a first-class Ranger of the proud Elves. I take pride in my bow more than anyone else, so if you want to copy his unique ability, shoot an arrow with a higher accuracy than him at least once.] shit. That''s right. That guy. It was the same guy who chased after him from the festival to the outskirts of the forest. Jinhyuk let out a small sigh. Look at that miserable face. Uncomfortable memories of the past came to mind. You''re trying to follow me to the end of hell for just one wrong performance. If there was an elf''s innate nature, it would be the term referring to this guy. at that time. Teslon! Wait, wait! Sylvia, who was beside her, stepped forward. Teslon, who was once again demonstrating the bow, stopped. "You are you sure, aren''t you the ranger under Elder Penheim?" Yes. My name is Sylvia, a third-class ranger. Tell me. Why are you with humans? that . Sylvia muffled her words. A cold breeze passed through Tethlon''s eyes. I will not forgive you, no matter how immature you are, if you say that you are the one who brought this human into our realm. No. The elder gave permission to invite this person. What? The elder allowed it? Tesla''s eyebrows curled backwards. He looks suspiciously as to whether what he heard is true. It was decided when Teslon-sama went to ''Central Forest''. Here, this is the proof that you will bring him as a guest. Sylvia took out a fragment made of sapphire from her arms. It was a relic that only elf elders could possess. I can''t believe it. The elder invited people like that to the festival... and, at least, such an ungrateful bastard. Teslon muttered in a tone of dissatisfaction, but that was all. This is because even a first-class high elf could not disobey the elder''s orders. However, Jinhyuk, who was quietly listening to the conversation, scratched his head. Well. What? If you just put up with it once, nothing will happen, but after hearing those words and sitting still, wouldn''t it be difficult to sleep 365 days a year? Hey. I''m sorry that this is a rude person. But can I ask you one thing? Does this noble nobleman shoot arrows at customers with his dignity kicked up to his throat? Or is he not able to think because his brain is also made of dignity? Jinhyuk exhaled like a rapid-fire cannon. hey After saying this, my stomach feels cold. I don''t know how other people hold on to the words inside. After saying this, the congestion will go away. What, what? Did you say that to me now! I was just talking to myself, do you think I''m getting stabbed when I see you getting angry? Hey, it looks like you want to die! Tesla fired an arrow on the protest in an instant. fast. It''s fast though. I don''t think it''s wise to break the elder''s orders. Are you really going to try it? Jinhyuk didn''t blink. No, it was even more provocative. Even if I shoot it anyway, it won''t hit even a single shot, but if you think it''ll make you feel better, I''ll give it a try. ...you guys. If you believe in one of the elders'' invitations, you''re making a big mistake now. You are making a big mistake right now. because. Now that there is a shortage of ''swamp figs'' for the festival, my only hope is to fill them in time. There is a reason for this. A momentary silence flows. What followed was a huge commotion. An earthquake struck Tesla''s pupil. Surprisingly, the other elves around were the same. Hey, how do you do that? How did you know we didn''t have enough swamp figs? It''s absurd. There would be no way outsiders would know... The murmur grew louder. you''ll be embarrassed The first human I met knew the insides of the elves in detail. However, given this level of clues, it was difficult for Jinhyeok to pretend he didn''t know. ''Teslon and the rest of the elves must have been walking around the swamp picking figs a while ago.'' Jinhyuk''s gaze turned downward. The elves'' shoes were still clogged with dried mud. Moist mud on a sunny day like this. Isn''t that an advertisement for rolling around hard in the presence of water? Besides, the ''Central Forest'' that Sylvia mentioned is dangerous, but a place where many figs grow. The fact that even rangers, whose main tasks are reconnaissance and vigilance, were mobilized, is proof that there are not enough figs for the festival. Your guy knows how to get figs, right? That''s right. As many as you want. I can save you as much as you want. If I put my mind to it. " " Teslon pursed his lips as if contemplating something. But it was only for a short time. It''s dubious, but our insteps are on fire too. In particular, I''ll make sure you trust me just this one time. This is so... . I must have misunderstood something. Jinhyuk smirked. I said I could do it. You didn''t even say a word that you would do it? Where do you get special permission? I guess I''m still out of my mind, but I came here as a guest. You''re one of those treacherous landlords who treats the guest badly. Jinhyuk refused with a single blow, and then looked at Sylvia who was next to him. For now, let''s go. After meeting with the elders, we''ll talk about how we can help. Of course, except for the cheap elves over there, Yes? Yes... yes. Sylvia nodded reflexively. And passed the elves'' encirclement and leisurely headed towards the village. Of course, Tesla couldn''t move a single finger. He was just grinding his molars as if in anger and glaring at Jinhyuk. After a while, I saw a village with trees and houses in harmony. Wait here for a moment. I''ll go inside and bring you back. Sylvia asked Jinhyeok for forgiveness. Jinhyuk, who was left alone, leisurely admired the surrounding scenery. The sight of the warm sunlight breaking on the leaves of grass was truly spectacular. ''Big. It''s really beautiful.'' How long have you been wanting to come back here? If I hadn''t played the damn Titanic back then, I wouldn''t have suffered the humiliation of being deported. However, you don''t have to worry about repeating the same mistake again. Because I have already saved the related unique abilities in case this happens. All that''s left is to arrange the benefits to be gained from this festival and the order the giyeon wants to come in. ''I will completely erase the black history this time.'' Jinhyuk burned his courage. How much time has passed? Rumble! Finally, the door opened, and an old-looking elf appeared. It feels completely different from Tesla. Is this old man really one of the elders? It was a lot of hard work coming from a long way. My name is Penheim, who is in charge of the village elder. Pennheim asked for a handshake in the sense of Shadow. "This is Jinhyuk Kang." Jinhyuk also briefly introduced himself and held Penheim''s hand. He also did not forget to add the usual greeting. First of all, thank you for the invitation. Personally, I''ve always wanted to come here once. The opportunity to come to the beautiful and peaceful village of elves doesn''t come very often. Nothing to say. Sylvia ate Jinhyuk''s food and praised it so much. Heh heh. I think we are lucky to have met. Penheim burst out laughing as if he was in a good mood. Yori, I''ll serve you right away even for dinner tonight. Um... that''s a thank you, but before that, I want to ask you one thing. Tell me. I''ve heard from Sylvia roughly, but they said that you can solve our difficult situation. Is that true? This is a story about ''swamp figs''. great. I''ve been waiting for this topic to come out. Of course it''s possible. Not possible. not possible. only. Jinhyuk coughed and brought out the main point. It''s a great price, but actually, I want to learn the archery of the elves, is it possible? If I want to climb the tower in the future, I definitely want to learn the archery that is considered the strongest in the middle range. It is common knowledge that elves can handle bows well. Fortunately, Penheim nodded his head as if there was no difficulty. That''s about it, of course. How can I give you Sylvia? No. I think learning from an elf who shoots arrows well would be embarrassing. If possible, it would be better if it was an opponent with a slightly lower skill. That way, even if it''s the first time you learn it, wouldn''t it be possible to mimic it to some extent? Then what kind of elf do you want to learn from? Do you have anyone you want? There''s only one right now. Jinhyuk pointed his finger at an elf. Hey, that guy. If it''s him, I think it''s perfect for my first learning level. Oh! Maybe I can do better. The face of the elf who had been pointed out was severely distorted. This is... cheeky. The captain of the elf ranger. It was Tesla. CH 118 . How to shoot a dead person with a bow (1) The air sank heavily. yea that''s the way it is The proud leader of the Ranger, Tethlon, was notorious for being feared even among the Elves. It means that, unlike those who simply show pride, they are also backed by solid skills. But what about touching that tiger''s nose hair? gulp! cackle... . Dry saliva was heard everywhere. However, no one dared to speak up. Human. You dare challenge me with archery? To me!? Heh heh. Teslon and Jinhyuk Kang are just saying this. Don''t take it too seriously. Let''s try to make the atmosphere worse. Penheim intervened. You must know that if you take even one step further from here, the irreversible will happen. However, Jin-hyeok poured oil on the burned down house. When I was in kindergarten, ?s?s was all I shot a few times, but strangely, I don''t think I''ll lose to you. Should I just bet on the protest and say that I think I''ll win if I shoot it? I mixed some gunpowder with oil and put firecrackers on it. Would you be an adult or a wise man if you endure this? Aaaaaah! Good. That remark now, I''m sure you''ll regret it! Tell me! How do you want a confrontation! Tethlon, whose face grew red, screamed like mad. it exploded Whether it''s the elder or Nabal, it''s been a long time since I''ve reached the level where I can stop it. Heh heh... this is true. Penheim let out a small sigh and shook his head. We have to collect swamp figs anyway, so let''s go there. There will be a place where we can compete in moderation. Okay. I''ll make sure I never talk to the elves with bows again. Tesla sharpened his molars. Yes. at least like humans. A single arrow can make you feel a gap that you can''t even look at. 10 km from the village. There was a huge swamp that had no end in sight. ''exactly. Everyone deserves to suffer.'' Jinhyuk slowly scanned the area around the swamp. The mud is so deep that it''s hard to fathom the bottom, and swamp crocodiles can be seen everywhere. And he had to overcome all the obstacles to reach the fig tree in the middle of the swamp. ''As the players already appeared, the crocodiles from the upstream of the swamp were driven downstream, making the area around the fig tree more crowded.'' The savage swamp crocodiles devoured their prey the size of an elephant in an instant, leaving only bones, and they were so fast that even the elves could not easily outrun them. In a nutshell, this means that the difficulty has gone up a lot. That''s why, unlike usual, the elves couldn''t meet their quota for the festival. However, no matter how many crocodiles there are, if you understand their habits properly, you will realize that numbers are meaningless. Jinhyuk stepped forward. Are you really okay? Pennheim asked with a worried face. It looks like the invited guest is terrified that it will become crocodile food. Leave me alone. Elder. Didn''t you say you were confident? Let''s see where and how much you believe. Tesla snorted. The rest of the elves who were watching also clashed, expecting an obvious ending. Either die or get scared and run away. I''m sure you''ll see one of the two. But. Everyone''s death and scornful gaze were completely reversed after a while. huuuuuuuuuoooooooooooooooooo [Lv6 ''Sword Demon King Treasure (ħ)'' is activated!] The missing new one. Jinhyuk began to cross over the swamp. It was so light and fast that the weight was barely felt. chwachwachwa chow chow! Stepping on the trees and leaves of grass floating on the swamp and moving 10m in an instant, the swamp crocodiles responded in a swarm. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Kaaak! With a sharp scream, the gigantic jaws fluttered open. The sight of hundreds of swamp crocodiles trying to bite their prey was terrifying. However, Jinhyuk was not intimidated or intimidated at all. Because he already knew how to break through this place. ''The swamp crocodile, whose eyesight has deteriorated, detects the waves of the water and hunts.'' A method of identifying the wave that is uniquely emitted by each prey, and classifying enemies and kin according to their size. Of course, up to this point, even the elves knew it. However, if you can fine-tune the wave using Sword Demon Wangbo... . ''They can make me perceive me as a fellow rather than a prey.'' Yes. Jinhyeok had already been accustomed to the unique wave generated by the movement of swamp crocodiles. Kurre... Kee... The wild swamp crocodiles were as quiet as lies. Only the ripples left by Jinhyeok spread gently on the surface of the water. Three, my God... How come those vicious swamp crocodiles don''t attack? You know a way we don''t know. But, swamp crocodiles are monsters that only inhabit here, so how can an outsider... Besides, look at that movement. It''s like running on water. I don''t think that''s possible even with Tesla-sama... Bar, you idiot. Be quiet. Teslon is right next to you. The elves opened their mouths and spit out one word at a time. Just by looking at his face, which was stained with astonishment and joy, he could clearly see how he thought about Jinhyuk. sure. Ugh... Teslon, who was thirsty for Jinhyuk''s failure, felt his stomach burning. I couldn''t let him die because the elder was watching. He was eager to be chased by a swamp crocodile and begged for his life. But this is the result. If you make a mistake, you might really come back with all the fig fruits. No, it had already reached a level where it was obvious that things would turn out like that. ''Please fail! please I mean, make some mistakes!'' Just when Tesla shouted a silent clamor. Tuk! Jinhyuk arrived on a small island in the middle of the swamp. It had broken through all of the hundreds of crocodiles. It''s never even been attacked. Hmm. It''s because I''m tired, so my body is a little heavy... Still, he broke the best record for about 7 seconds. It is a natural result, as it has grown much stronger than in the past. ''Not bad.'' Now, there is no need to say that it is a record breaking, and we have reached a point where the key is how much the increase will be. By the way, I don''t know if this is so delicious. Do they think it''s addictive, similar to eating chicken or pizza? Jinhyuk''s gaze turned upward. I caught my eye on the luscious yellow fruits hanging one after another. [Swamp Fig Fruit] Not only did it taste sweet and sour, but it also had the effect of refining mana, so it was an indispensable item for elves. At the same time, it was a fruit loved by spirits. Jinhyuk approached the fig tree and began to sweep the fruits. There is plenty of space left in the subspace inventory, so even if you pick all the fruits here, there will be no problem. Wow! Humans have done it! Now we can celebrate! I wish I could, I really can do it! A thunderous cheer erupted from among the elves. All of a sudden, the wariness of strangers disappeared, and the place was filled with warm hospitality and praise. A festival that has been going on for hundreds of years, and a festival that almost failed for the first time. It was saved by a human. Whoops! A huge number of berries fell to the floor. These were the fig fruits that Jinhyuk had stored in his subspace inventory. At this point, I think it has been proven that my words are not lies. If you put a vomit here, it''s a person... No, not an elf. If conscience is only the tip of a hair, you have to shut your mouth and nod your head. But strangely. I admit that you can pick the fruit. But, that''s not one bullshit you said. Have you forgotten what we talked about about archery? There were always fools who went beyond common sense. hey In another sense, he was a person with a face beyond imagination. At this point, I think we should assume that Tesla''s conscience is as thick as an afro''s head. Jinhyuk looked at Tesla with admiration. It''s not that I forgot... Don''t you get a sense of what the situation is going on? I think I would know what the outcome would be just by looking at it. Don''t be bullshit. You may have fooled the crocodiles in a shallow way, but I''m different. You''ve died 100 times, and even if you wake up, you can''t beat me. Tesla spoke out in a confident tone. this is true If you pretend to be that strong... Even if you just want to pass it on, the DNA of the deceased naturally writhes. After trampling on a confident guy and humiliating him, I want to be distorted with shame so that I can''t even raise my head again. Such a dark desire. "Then, you and I. Shall we place a bet on who will win?" A bet? Isn''t it fun to just fight for pride? Whether you win or lose, a battle that can be done with a mental victory only yields a yawn. If you really want to crush your opponent to the bone, of course, you should be punished accordingly. Whether I''m going to lick your shoes or leave town right now, if I lose, I''ll do whatever it takes. If you lose, do whatever I tell you. How about it? It''s fun. Good. Don''t do it. Don''t go back and change your words by any chance. You are. Don''t just stretch out your tongue. I''m not the type of person who thinks I''m whining. The race of the Noble Forest will always keep the word once spoken. It''s okay. You''re going to be awkward. Jinhyuk smirked. Already thinking about the punishment he would do, the corners of his lips twitched. Likewise, Tesla had a fishy smile on his face, drunk on an early victory. Anticipating different endings, a bet on the pride of the two races began. The sport is archery. In other words, archery. Tesla pointed to the island where the fig trees were. On an island about 700m away, several trees were lined up one after another. Of all the trees you see over there, the tree at the end is already dead. Are you saying it''s okay to shoot with a bow? Yeah. The target is that tree. The side that misses the arrow loses. What if both of them miss? I''m not going to miss even a single thing, but in that case, I''ll count the one who shoots the arrow closer as the winner. OK. Jinhyuk nodded and handed a suitable bow from Sylvia. Are you really okay? Teslon is the best archer among us. That''s it, I know roughly. However. Shooting a bow well and winning a match are two different things. "What ?" Sylvia asked again, but Jinhyuk smiled playfully and turned around. Now is the time to break the face of that icy idiot. CH 119 . How to shoot a dead man with a bow (2) I''ll check one last time. Jinhyuk opened his mouth. The arrows shoot alternately, but if both fail, the one with the closest distance wins the game. And there are no rules other than that. Right? Yeah. That''s right, so stop asking questions and then shoot. Don''t rush it too much. Surely, you don''t intend to do anything stupid that interferes with your concentration, do you? What the hell do you dare to look at an elf. I''ll keep you quiet, so focus on that damn bastard! Well, even if you don''t say that, I think so. Jinhyuk threw an arrow at the protest. Whew...! Breathing in short and fast to create abdominal pressure, the body was firmly fixed. right at that moment. Boo woo woo! The arrow flew in a parabola. It was the first step in estimating the direction and distance of the wind quite well. I almost hit the fig tree, which was almost my target for something I''ve barely touched with a bow. However, the arrow eventually landed near a small island in the center. It was a failure. Pooh! Fuhahaha! It''s ridiculous. Did you challenge me with just that level of skill? Even if it''s a joke, it''s pitiful! Tesla went mad like crazy. You''d think you''d be lucky. Still, watching the demonstration of ''Sword Demon King'' a while ago, I must have been a little nervous. Um. I''m not feeling well today. Is it because there is no one to support me? Jinhyuk was pale and had a bad taste. "Because you''re a person who supports me are you only going to make excuses until the end?" No, really. How great is the power of cheering? It''s an unfamiliar environment and there are a lot of elves around, so I won''t be able to show my skills. I''ll have to bring in at least one of my side. Even the shouts of the audience can have a huge impact on the players. There is no such thing as a home advantage for nothing. Damn. I''m tired of hearing nonsense over and over again. Good. Get the guy you''re on your side and shoot again. Tesla gave him another chance with an annoyed tone. Anyway, with the skills I showed you a little while ago, even if you fire it a thousand times instead of once, the result will be the same. I won''t give it a go. Jinhyuk smiled brightly and opened the subspace inventory. What came out of it was sweet potatoes, an ancient species with jet-black skin like obsidian. White mosquito! Yellow mosquito! Tough and tasteless mosquito! The sweet potato looked around curiously. The elves they saw for the first time seemed to have attracted quite a bit of attention, so they fluttered their short tongues. But it was only for a short time. Good Mosquito! The sweet potato fell into Jinhyuk''s arms as if he had lost interest in an instant. Okay. Come here. My bastard. Also, there is nothing wrong with saying that ancient species are highly loyal. Jinhyuk gently scratched the sweet potato under his chin with a proud face. When I saw the sweet potato purring and slowly closing my eyes, it felt as if the stress I had received from the unlucky idiot had washed away. ...you carry a unique pet. Tesla''s eyes narrowed. Seriously, there''s no way the guys on the 6th floor have ever seen an ancient bell. At best, you can only think of them as rare reptiles. But does he know? The fact that even an elf who emphasizes lineage and nobility is nothing more than a hybrid in front of an ancient species. Whoa. Jinhyuk cleared his breath and fired an arrow once more. The arrow drew a parabola and flew quickly. But this time the result was the same. The arrow narrowed the distance to the target a little bit more than before, but it was the same as not being able to hit it. "Let''s pretend there are no more excuses." Tesla clicked his tongue as if he knew it would. At the same time, he pulled out the colorful longbow he was carrying on his shoulder. Silvery, reaching about 2 m. At first glance, it is an unusual item. If you add to this the unique ability ''Baekbal Baekjung''... . It is safe to say that the outcome of this match has been decided. Yes. That''s right, but... . Jinhyuk was smiling. As if you knew what was going to happen next. ''what? That eerie smile... ?'' Tesla tilted his head. The uncomfortable feeling was sticky, but Teslon quickly shook off the thought. Now, if you can just release the arrows, that''s it. Variables don''t exist. Because you won''t be making any mistakes. By the way. Whoops! That''s when Tesla was about to shoot the arrow. Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! [Sweet Potato uses Lv1 ''Pier''!] With a huge shout, the ancient bells resounded throughout the swamp. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The waves rumbled and the swamp crocodiles froze on the spot. It was as if time had stopped before the overwhelming majesty that even the clouds were splitting apart. of course. with a plop! Even the arrows shot by Tesla are bound to miss. Aww. Is there anything to be sorry about? Is it because our sweet potato is past the time to eat, so the sound is very loud? Jinhyuk scratched his head with an apologetic expression on his face. Then, he pointed his index finger toward the sweet potato with his eyes wide open. You have to be careful. It''s an important game right now. So what do you do? Because of you, an elf who looks like a gisaeng oraebi over there is staring at you right now? mosquito . The sweet potato bowed her head. The feeling that he had done something wrong was pouring out from the appearance of the horse when he lightly brushed his tail. This should be forgiven. cancer. Don''t be innocent about this. It''s okay. It could be. You just have to be careful next time. As Jinhyuk nodded, Tesla, who was watching, shouted. Hey, uh damn bastard! Did you mean taking that guy out to do such a cowardly thing? "The purpose of cheering is to encourage the same team, but also to overwhelm the opponent." Hey, that''s it! I gave you another chance. But do you pay it back like this? You don''t have the words for honor or fairness! No. what? I''m sorry, but unlike noble elves, I''m a rude and sarcastic human. evil ???????????? dirty. We will never be together again. etc. All of these are the greatest tributes to the deceased. ''It''s probably the reason why the stagnant people are stagnant in the first place to make the opponent scream and eventually give up because they are pissed off.'' In the same sense, to poke a loophole in the rule. It was also a virtue that the deceased had to keep. just like right now. Of course, I admit that it''s a bit absurd. If you wanted to prevent that coercion in advance, would you subdivide the rules? Lululala. Jinhyuk hummed and looked into the air. Anyway, since you won the match, the status window will appear soon. As soon as you think so. [You have acquired the skill ''About White Hair (ٰl) (AA)''!] [White-haired, 100-jung (ٰl)] Acquisition Difficulty: AA Description: Increases your understanding of arrows and throwing weapons by 80%. In particular, in the case of a bow, if you focus for 5 seconds, you can increase the accuracy to 100%. However, if a unique ability or skill of the same rank or higher intervenes, the accuracy may decrease. A status window appears indicating the success of the copy condition. No matter how harshly they insist that it is not Tesla, as long as the system admits that it is, all of its goals have been achieved. ''no.'' Not yet. I got the skill, but I haven''t seen that elf hit the ground yet. 2% is still not enough to discuss victory in the true sense of the word. if so . Jinhyuk opened his mouth. Thinking about it, it might be unfair from your point of view. Where can you sleep at night when the game is over like this? "Does that mean you''re going to fight again?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Tesla''s eyes. "Instead, if you lose again this time, don''t add a single toe to what I say, and obey unconditionally." Of course. If you promise that you won''t only do lethal things this time. Don''t worry. Sweet potatoes will be put back in the subspace inventory. Then. Do what you say. great. Surely you said that with your mouth? Jinhyuk once again grabbed the bow. Seeing that, Teslon wiped his chest. ''There is no reason for me to lose as long as I don''t play dirty Excellent grades again.'' In archery, the opponent is a beginner among beginners. He''s a kid who doesn''t know how to do anything other than just shoot forward, let alone precise control. Yes. The results were too obvious. Obviously, I should have... . ''Something Strange?'' Tesla''s eyes narrowed. The form in which Jinhyuk holds the bow has changed. completely different from before. The natural movement and breathing almost made an exclamation flow unwittingly. The act of pulling the protest created perfection in itself. However, the surprise did not end there. [The skill ''Blood Magic'' and the skill ''Baekbal Baekjung (ٰl)'' are fused.] [Fusion successful!] [You have acquired the skill ''Red Magic Bullet (AAA)''!] [Red Magic Bullet] Acquisition Difficulty: AAA Description: It is a skill that boasts extreme destructive power and a creepy accuracy using black flame. Focusing for 2.5 seconds grants you 100% accuracy and increases your understanding of arrows and thrown weapons by 145%. [The copied ability is stored in ''Memory of the World''.] A status window that can never be seen except for Jinhyuk. But Tesla had a gut feeling. Just now, in front of my eyes, the status of the opponent has risen one more stage. And at that very moment. Shrek. with a soft sound. The arrow is gone. A red flash of light crossed the air. At the same time. Aww! The tree that was the target was shattered in pieces. Everyone watching was at a loss for words. I had to lose it. The bog fig tree boasts tremendous strength. Because of this, even the cutlery loaded with mana was only slightly engraved on the surface. But destroy it altogether. He didn''t even dare to imagine what level of archery he had. Whoops! Dark red black flames erupted around the tree that was left with only the root. Um, I can''t believe it... How can a human have such skills? "I don''t think even first-class high elves can keep up with that human toe ?" Although I prided myself on being the best in archery, The high nose bridge was completely broken from this moment on. Jinhyuk approached Tesla with a leisurely pace. It''s about the fact that there''s no point in fighting anymore, you know better than anyone else. With this, the match was decided. I wanted to protect my pride as much as possible, but I climbed up and showed off my skills lightly. " " Don''t get too frustrated or frustrated. It''s just that you selected the wrong comparison target in the first place. If someone else came, the result would have been the same. Jinhyuk scratched it slowly. The most painful times are when you can''t get over the shock of defeat. sure. The point of the fire dragon was when the penalty was mentioned here. Ah! And about penalties. Jinhyuk mentioned the long-awaited penalty with a smirk. CH 120 uninvited guest (1) Damn it. Tell me. What can I do? Um. Nothing special. Just wear this until I leave town. Jinhyuk pulled out a very burdensome-looking costume from his subspace inventory. Even in Hongdae, the costume was shocking enough to report it to the nearest police station or military base. Of course, as a noble and gentle elf, you can''t help but be surprised to the extent that your eyes pop out. What, what? Those horrible clothes? Uh-huh. It''s terrible. Where do you dare say such a nonsense when you see a divine staunch look? A golden wig with wavy hair, and a red mustache that smells like testosterone just by looking at it. And the pink mini skirt and the floral Sorcery rod are in perfect harmony? This is a look that the deceased will nod and acknowledge no matter where you put it. Again, it''s a gem. it''s luxury Ooh, don''t be ridiculous! Do you think I''ll wear something like this! Um? You said that with your mouth. If you lose, you will obey me without making a sound. That''s it, but... "Then, dress modestly. If you lose your skills, but lose your trust, it''s too ugly." " " Tesla''s face flushed red from shame. However, it is impossible to suffer even the disgrace of breaking a promise in the midst of losing everything. at last. Please. Please leave the village as soon as possible. Tesla begged Jinhyeok with resigned eyes. I''ll try to relax as much as possible, but seeing what you''re doing, I can pull you off for a day or two. Anyway, this disgrace will be talked about among the elves for a long time. If you obey and listen carefully, you can shorten it as much as possible. Of course, it all depends on what Tesla is doing. Jinhyuk shrugged. With this, the true education of the sassy elf was completely over. Moments later, Teslon, in great attire, led the elves. ...Transfer the fig fruits to the village one by one. Fill it up from the square in the center, but if there is not enough space, you can use the warehouse as well. He tried to keep his composure as much as possible, but his face looked like he had lost his country. Growing up! Laughter continued to flow from among the elves as well. Who would have imagined that the captain of the Rangers, who was always icy, would be like that? Who is laughing recklessly now! If you dare to laugh at Teslon-sama... pooh! Even the first-class rangers, who could be called the bodyguards of Tesla, couldn''t hold back their laughter. ''very good.'' Jinhyuk nodded his head as if satisfied. After all, there is nothing like that to tame someone. Come to think of it, it would be quite effective if Elise and Cheon Yuseong were trained like that later, right? Jinhyuk pondered for a moment, then shook his head. it''s probably too much If both of them die, they''re dead, so I wouldn''t say I''d do something like that. Heh heh. You seem to have a surprisingly mischievous hobby. I didn''t expect Tesla to be so docile. Penheim, who was next to Jinhyuk, spoke to him. Did you play a little harsh? From the standpoint of Elder Hagiya, it must be a bittersweet scene. The best ranger who protects the village is doing something like that. However, the answer I got from Penheim was unexpectedly the opposite of what I expected. No. That guy had to feel the wall higher than him someday, too. Rather, I think I''m lucky to have met Jinhyuk-nim this time. hoo. Are you thinking this way? Still, it is fortunate that an elf with a mature mindset is in charge of the elder. Even on the 6th floor, it wasn''t a very dirty neighborhood. Then, it''s okay to roll harder. Heh heh heh. At this point, please tame it properly. Penheim burst out laughing. That''s when the two of them continued their conversation. Come on... Elder. A big thing... A big thing has happened. An elf ran to the swamp with an urgent shout. A wounded look. Red drops of blood dripped from the ends of her blood-soaked hair. The loss of even one arm is a serious injury that looks serious at a glance. How did this happen!? Pennheim was the flagship. A few elves ran quickly and supported the wounded elf. It''s Lucion! Uh, what should I do? Arms. Totally... Who the hell! Who did such a terrible thing! Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh... The elf, called Lucion, took a breathless breath. Even with little time left, the elf was determined to complete the last mission he had to do. Humans... are coming. Cool! Knock! There are countless... That''s it. Lucion died without even completing his last words. The air around him sank heavily. Maybe it''s because of the grief over the death of a colleague. Or maybe it''s because of the tragedy that more colleagues will have to die in the future. But one thing is certain, someone came here with hostility. The only thing is that it will never stop until the enmity has completely swept the place. Whoops! Aww! As a flash of light flashed past, red blood spurted from the elf''s back. You can tell without even checking it. It''s like being instantly killed in one hit. Ttt. Guys with no power are going to fly dirty. It''s going to take a lot more work than I thought. A man with a stature of up to 2 m gave a short tongue-in-cheek. He was ''Tenqiao'', a ranker belonging to the Chinese Guild and one of the only three S-class players in this mission. I can''t help it. Capture is the main purpose rather than killing. Even if you kill rangers with combat skills, you should capture the rest if possible. Another ranker, Li Keqiang, also helped out. No matter how many times he had already hunted, the spear that was taller than his height had been dyed red. After all, I spread the poison widely around the forest, so not a single ant can get out. Hunting is my taste. Let''s enjoy it slowly from now on. Finally, a woman with long black hair hanging down to her waist approached the two of them. Sheehwa. Even within the Chinese guild, he was one of the best masters of dealing with poison. One of the talented people who didn''t fall out anywhere. Moreover, the number of Chinese guild players they brought with them exceeded 500. It was too many troops to occupy just one elf village. nevertheless. Everyone here didn''t intend to keep even the slightest ejaculation in their hands. - If we fail, this time we die. -You must obey orders. -Dog death is an emissary. Even more so if that''s the only reason he has compassion for elves. Namgungcheon''s patience had already reached its limit. Failure is directly related to the word meaning death. live or die If you have to choose between two options, of course you only have to choose one. Before the sun goes down, we advance to the village where the elves are. Li Keqiang gave the order. John. All right. The players drew their weapons at once. At the same time, towards the forest where the elves were, the siege began to narrow. Hey, this can''t be... By the time Penheim and the elves arrived at the outskirts of town, the situation had already ended. Smoke rising and burning houses. If there is hell... Is this a sight? With the bodies of the rangers who lost their lives while fighting to the end. Guernsey was executed as an example, among them were the bodies of young elves and female elves without weapons. To do such a terrible thing... Gods and spirits will not forgive. Never. Never! Wow! The elves grinded their teeth with anger. Some were at a loss for words at the horrific sight. "Hurry up and collect the bodies of the brothers the sisters. Can''t they be left on the cold ground forever? And Tesla leads the rangers to the center of town right away. It''s protected by a barrier, so it''s not easy It won''t break through. Pennheim gave orders to the elves with a hoarse voice. ...Yes. I''ll leave right away. After Tesla nodded, he led the rangers and disappeared into the woods. Yes. It''s sad later. Because right now, there are things I need to prioritize. About an hour passed like that. It was when the corpses of the remaining elves were being collected. crumble. Suddenly, a number of popular voices were heard from the grass. About thirty people appeared. Hmm. What is this? Were there any others left? That is, the players belonging to the Chinese Guild. Hey. Look at this? I asked where all these are buried. Looks like they''re all gathered here? It saves you the trouble of searching for them one by one. Hey. I''ll tell the engineering leaders clearly later. This is the ball our platoon has built. This. The players giggled. you''ll be excited It must have been a bit sore from being oppressed and being noticed, but it was because I was able to see the blood as much as I wanted. In fact, after one frantic hunt, savory items were scraped together, and the number of prisoners acquired was quite large. " " " " The elves with their pupils loose were lined up in a row, bound with chains. The trauma was so severe that not a single elf remained sane. Hey, those long-eared guys. I wish I could risk my life and rebel if possible. The chase isn''t bad either, but I''m tired of doing it too much. Fuhaha! That''s right. There aren''t any elves that can be used. It''s so bland. Still, do you have any responsibility for the pasture? It was a very speculative thing to squelch so as not to touch one''s own family. Do you remember? That big elf? Ah. Of course. Even if he died, he asked to keep his wife and children alive or something. Of course, he killed them all as an example. The numbers are too many to overflow. The above won''t say anything about thinning them out properly. It''s completely our world. Thanks, it was so much fun. His voice rose as if he was talking about a saga. And. uh... ! Sylvia, who had to listen to those words, swallowed tears of blood inside. ''luck I want to be able to.'' even right now. I wanted to shoot an arrow and pierce that hated human heart. I wanted to punish him with his sword drawn. However. '' It''s impossible.'' he couldn''t do anything Even the top rangers specialized in combat were either dead or taken prisoner. No matter how hard you try, you will face the same fate as them. The fact that he knows the harsh reality better than anyone else... . was so upset Feeling helpless and unable to do anything. The weakness of not being able to stand up proudly even in this situation. It was so shameful that I couldn''t even put it into words. so that. because I couldn''t do anything. "Help please please." Sylvia had to rely on the only one she knew. Sylvia raised her head with trembling eyes. If this man had abilities that even Tesla couldn''t reach... . must. I believe it will change this situation. Suddenly, Jinhyuk was by Sylvia''s side. That word. I was waiting. Jinhyuk answered her request with a low-key tone. At the same time. [Unique ability .] On top of the dagger dyed red. [ ] ''The Tomb of the Sword'' appears.] A jet-black river gushed out. CH 121 . uninvited guests (2) What is that bastard? What is it, come forward? Huh? Look at that. There were humans among the elves, right? Puhahaha! It''s true. Wow, at least you come to the elf forest at this time... There''s no real luck or loss. Hey. I don''t know what he''s doing, but think of it as having some bad luck today. If you stay still, I''ll finish it so you don''t get sick. "Cheol-chul-chul. That''s right. Because we''re nice, they cut off just one limb and then stop breathing right away." For the first time, even when Jinhyuk came out among the elves. The players belonging to the Chinese Guild reacted as if they could see all the idiots. It''s a natural thing. Unless I lose my fearful head, I won''t go out against players approaching a small raid. However. In the next sight... . Everyone in the room had to feel the urge to slap themselves in the face for saying those words. [The unique ability ''Sword Graveyard'' appears.] Any player belonging to China will know. To realize Sword Qi, you have to experience the end of your efforts. That in order to manifest swordsmanship, one must experience the end of talent. And. If it wasn''t enough for the sword to cover the entire sword, so it could soar more than 1m... . It also means that you have to give up your life the moment you face it. Rumble! Thirty flares froze in place. He had completely lost his will before the overwhelming power. "Hey, it''s a sword " "Are you saying that there was a master at the top in a nook like this?" Wow, we can''t do it. There''s no chance of winning at all. The giggles he had been giggling a while ago were gone, and he was just standing there with his mouth wide open like rats with tails. Jinhyuk looked around with his cold eyes. The men whose eyes met each other lowered their heads in turn. "At first, I didn''t want to interfere with other household chores." To some extent, this is the realm of the elves. It is not a place for outsiders to intervene. Yes. Even if I had made some close friends, I was nothing more than a guest. But that''s it. At least, I should have known the difference between war and massacre. To kill unarmed women, children, and even the elderly. That''s what garbage does. I''ve given up on my conscience at all. And. He didn''t even think of giving human treatment to such bug-like bastards. tuk. When ''Sword Demon King'' was activated, Jinhyuk''s new model disappeared like a shadow. Aww! Aww! Red mist began to scatter. With Sword Qi, he''s not even an opponent at all. In addition, due to the foot technique that narrowed the distance in an instant, the opponent did not even allow time to respond. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The flesh was torn and the bones were split with just the pressure of the sword. The severed limbs were thrown on the floor, creating a hellish way. However, Jinhyuk continued to swing his sword without hesitation. kill Bego. knock down In less than 10 seconds at most, more than half of the players lost their lives. Sa... save me! An arm... my arm! It was filled with screams and shouts. You devil! Because we lost, we''re going to give up, so please do it in moderation! someone shouted that Then, in an instant, the attack stopped like a lie. Jinhyuk lowered his sword. It''s ridiculous. There were many emotions in the words that came out of his mouth. "Did you look after the elves when they begged for your life?" Rather, he laughed at it and pressed it even more brutally. Besides, he talked about it like he was proud of it. I''ll do the same, no more, no less. What is the reverse branch... . Feel it right from now on. Jinhyuk raised his dagger high. kwaduk! And then, the body of the guy who had the blood on his neck was ripped apart as it was. As if to warn you that there will be no more negotiations or conversations. Scatter! Damn it! I have to tell the main unit somehow! Ugh... Have you ever decided that it can''t be done? The few who survived chose to escape in different directions. He seemed to think that if he ran with all his might, at least one or two could survive. It''s definitely not a bad method. Because there was only one prey that the pursuer could pursue at a time. Yes. That''s the norm, but... . Unfortunately, I picked the wrong opponent. Jinhyuk grabbed the bow. [Lv1 ''Red Magic Bullet (ɫħ)'' is activated!] I wondered if a red flash would flash. Whoops! The head of the man who was running into the forest on the left disappeared. Puffy! Huh? This time, there was a wind hole in the heart of the woman who was running straight ahead. one step like that. two feet. As the number of arrows leaving the demonstration increases. Whoops! puck! puff puff puff! The number of running players has also decreased. and after a while. There were no more popular pretenders to be heard in the woods. [Left ridge.] Located at the southernmost tip of the Elf Forest, Xuehua, one of the engineering leaders of the Chinese Guild, was located here. Xuehua oversees the entire operation here and is tasked with ensuring that no one enters or exits the outskirts of the forest. Although it does not directly catch prisoners, it is a necessary role for easy progress. By the way. Xuehua-nim. The players belonging to the reconnaissance team would like to meet you. A man standing guard outside Xuehua''s tent reported. nod. Xue Hua waved her hand as if it was bothering her. Okay, so it means come quickly and tell me the contents and go away. It has to be because the scout players have already been talking in and out dozens of times over the past few hours. Soon after, three players in black masks entered the tent. It was a reconnaissance corps of the Chinese Guild established for the purpose of covert operations. tell. Xuehua, who was brewing tea leaves, opened his mouth briefly. It''s a platoon-level unit that was in charge of Area 6. As a result of checking a little while ago, all of them were found dead. ...what? Annihilation? It was then that Xuehua''s hand stopped. The shocking news brought a wrinkle to her white forehead. Yes. Most of them die instantly, but I wonder if they wanted to inflict pain as long as possible. Traces of some injuries were also confirmed. Even when he said that his subordinate had been tortured, Xuehua did not startle an eyebrow. Rather, it was the other side that caught her attention. Hmm. Area 6 would be a place where there aren''t many rangers. It''s surprising. Is there any other variable? How did you say your platoon was structured? "I was a B-class five and a C-class 26." It''s a bit ambiguous... but this time, put three A-class and send them. Ah! I hope that Lieutenant Tae Tae will go directly if possible. I want to make sure that everything is done. Yes. I''ll go by myself. The lieutenant who was waiting at the entrance to the tent immediately bowed his head. And immediately lead the players to the 6th area. By the way. What are you doing? If you''re done watching, why don''t you just go away? The scouts, who should have already left, seemed unwilling to leave for some reason. Standing relaxed and muttering. On the contrary, isn''t the guy in the front clearly scanning the inside of the tent? no way The moment when the thought of ? Who are you? kukukuku! A powerful mana spurted out of Xuehua''s body. "Hey did you just notice it? I don''t know how he got to the position of chief engineering officer because he was so sloppy." A familiar tone came out of the masked man''s mouth. At the same time. Shrek. Jinhyuk took off his mask and breathed in the fresh air to his heart''s content. Well . After all, I hate the cramped cloth fragment that covers my mouth. The other two took off their masks. It was Sylvia and another ranger elf. "Kang Jinhyuk !" Xuehua took a deep breath. Do you know me? of course. How could you not know? The ranker who gave the Chinese guild a big shot on a talk show in Korea a while ago. Due to his strong personal connections and the achievements he has accumulated over the years, Jinhyuk was already being treated as the most important person in the Chinese Guild. What are you... what are you doing here? In order to destroy the enemy, you have to remove the eyes and ears first. It is normal to aim at this place, which is used as the operational headquarters. Of course, it would be perfect if you could also eliminate the engineering commander in charge. There, you can see all the operational maps inside the tent, so infiltrating here was not a bad move. You mean you''re going to be hostile to us? Seriously? It was you who touched it first. Jinhyuk drew the line. I don''t understand. It''s just for the elves and you''re trying to pretend with us. If you find out how many Grand Masters there are, you''ll regret the decision you made now. "No, I have no regrets. And you guys. Aren''t you overestimating yourself? Laughs don''t be fooled. You''re not even at Namgungcheon''s feet. He doesn''t even need to come here. We''ll be able to finish it at our level. When Namgungcheon''s name came out, the atmosphere changed drastically. Namgungcheon, that guy. That''s great, but well. It wouldn''t be so great that I risked my life to believe it... . Was the last time you saw it near the 18th floor of the tower? I remembered the figure of the guy who was struggling while grunting with the giants. He would have grown up with a lot more support now, so he would have become stronger than he was back then, but in that case, he would be two or three steps higher than Cheon Yoosung. Of course, I don''t know much about all these facts, so it may be that Xuehua can be trusted so blindly. It''s good that Namgungcheon isn''t here right now. The important thing is that all of your information has leaked out. What are you going to do if you find out? There must be no other skilled fighters besides you, are you? It is true that information is important. However, all of that was backed up by competent troops who would carry out operations according to information. If there are only elves, they can never be the enemy of the rest of the engineering leaders. At those words, the corners of Jinhyuk''s lips rose upward as if he had waited. Actually, the guy who doesn''t want to go out, for some reason, moved his heavy body this time. This scene must have already been transmitted to the guy far away through the contractor''s ''consciousness sharing''. Where is the China Guild''s engineering captain now? Where are the main forces moving? entire. And maybe . That guy. If he did more than me, he would do more, and he would never do less. Because of the damn thing you guys did, you looked pretty pissed off. kukukuku! Red blood rushed up slowly. Hey, such an unbelievable power... An earthquake struck Li Keqiang''s pupil. Dare, with this number and members, I thought that even against a boss monster on the same floor, I could guarantee victory. However. Everything was an illusion. About 20m above the ground. Jinjo, floating on a pair of wings, contemplated all the enemies on the ground. I don''t like things like elves. Actually, I don''t care what it is. Even Penheim, who sheds laughter without worrying about the world. Even Tesla, who grunts harshly. Sylvia is also attached to her contractor for some reason. I didn''t like them all. However. Jinhyuk liked it. Being here, I covered my face and smiled. I thought that was enough. The problem is, they ruined it all. You''ve been rude to my contractor. What can I say to Jinhyuk recklessly? You can approach it without hesitation. You must be the only one yourself. But they broke the rules. That''s why you guys die. at the end of that word. Red rain began to fall from the sky. CH 122 . uninvited guests (3) [I request urgent assistance! We can''t fight this monster alone... !] [Captain Li Keqiang is facing each other, but they are not rivals.] [Supply unit. You are being attacked from the side. The number of enemies is small... I''m strong!] [If this is the case... Soon it will be wiped out! Get more help right away .] something that happened simultaneously. Hundreds of status messages along with the video cluttered Xuehua''s eyes. Hey, how the hell did this happen...? Xue Hua couldn''t swallow the trembling voice and let it out. I had no choice but to do so. Because the scene unfolding now was a mirror that showed that their plans were all shattered. By the vampires who suddenly appeared from the sky, the terrain of the forest was being redrawn. It was where Li Keqiang, the 2nd engineering commander, was located. Tenqiao, the 1st engineering commander who felt the change, was coming this way quickly, but Xuehua had an intuition. That this mission has already been irreparably ruined. wow. The sound of molars grinding echoed through the tent. More than this... . Yes. Since this is the case, there is no other choice but to achieve a performance comparable to that of the elf prisoners. Xue Hua looked at Jinhyeok with gleaming eyes. have to kill it''s this guy If you kill the enemy blocking the path of the Chinese Guild, Namgungcheon-nim will pass this on too. The worries didn''t last long. [Xuehua uses Lv9 ''Poison Fog''!] Whoops! In an instant, gray smoke filled the tent. The poison was used to paralyze the subject''s limbs through the respiratory system. However. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The smoke, which had been spreading without hesitation, stopped right in front of Jinhyuk. Exactly in front of the translucent wall that stretched around it. "Gyeol you say?" I knew about the use of self-defense. Of course, I prepared this level of preparation. He already knew the level of information about his opponent through ''Eyes of Gluttony''. I had a clear idea of how it would turn out if I was in a corner. All that''s left is... . The two of you, please deal with the rest of them outside. If you hold out for about 5 minutes, I''ll take care of it after that. Jinhyuk opened his mouth to the elves. all right. I''ll be able to hold on to that. Sylvia and Ranger nodded and went out of the tent. A-classes left here with their lieutenants, so there won''t be any serious danger. Jinhyuk turned his head again and looked directly at Xuehua. Name: Xuehua Gender: Female Age: 25 Level: 28 Strength 16 Dexterity 26 Stamina 25 mana 33 Strength 57 Stat Points you have: 0 Coins held: 51,558 Occupation: Poisonist Unique Ability: ''Thousand Poison (ǧ)'' skill: Lv9 ''Poison Mist'', Lv8 ''Intermediate Dark Skill'' Lv8 ''Poison Injection'', Lv7 ''Detoxification'', Lv7 ''Extraction of Poison'', Lv6 ''Defense Force'', Lv5 ''Poison Shield'' [Copy condition: Admiral Yi Dok (Զƶ). That is, if Xue Hua succeeds in detoxifying the poison used by a stronger poison combination, she will be able to copy one of her skills. However, if Xue Hua detoxifies the strongest poison among her poisons, her unique ability can be copied.] Conquer poison with poison... . Jinhyuk grinned at the copying conditions once again. Although the content seems simple, it is actually a very absurd condition. It was meant to give you an edge as poison over enemies who specialize in poison. Nine times out of ten, they wouldn''t even think to try. However. That''s the story of ordinary people who don''t know much about towers. ''If it''s me, it''s possible.'' It wasn''t to the level of mastery of poison, but as I climbed to the top of the tower, I met a lot of guys who handled poison well. The masters who are completely different from Xuehua, who use a really surprising amount of poisoning. Therefore, this level of radiation conditions did not even belong to the difficult axis. ''If possible, I''ll have to copy the unique ability.'' The skills weren''t bad either, but the best thing is ''Chun Poison (ǧ)'' to get the ability. To do that, you''ll need to scratch your opponent in moderation first. By the way, I heard that you have a deep knowledge of poisoning, but I guess it was all nonsense? Given that a low-level barrier can withstand it enough. "Now do you mean that my skills are below the level?" At Jinhyuk''s words, Xuehua''s atmosphere became even more brutal. great. I asked for the bait. No, it''s not necessarily like that. I thought I was expecting too much. Is this enough to make me think that it''s worth trying alone and with the entire Chinese guild? Dare you you''re talking such sarcastic things again. It''s good. Now that it''s like this. Let''s play properly. Xue Hua dispersed the poison mist. At the same time, a vicious energy that could not be compared with before began to arise. [Xuehua activates his unique ability, ''Ten Poison (ǧ)''!] [Cheongeukcheonhwadok (ǧؽ최) is blooming!] A poison that destroys organs throughout the body through the mana circuit, not the respiratory system. Thousands of mucilage, expressed in the form of threads, exploded towards Jinhyeok all at once. fast. Moreover, it is the kind that cannot be prevented by barriers. '' I''m also writing this.'' As expected, Xuehua pulled out the most venomous and most effective poison she possessed. Even if only 1mg was absorbed into the skin, it was so poisonous that even a large species of 10m class could not last half a day. Of course, it is difficult for a person to hold on for even a minute. however. ''If you know the type of poison in advance, you can decipher it. Especially if it is related to the flow of mana.'' Jinhyuk allowed the opponent''s attack intact. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Threads in the form of a spider''s web ran through Jinhyuk''s whole body. Reddish lines were drawn over the skin. Soon, the red hot lines began to inflate like balloons. Ha! You got it! Xue Hua had a sly smile on her face. As long as the poison is effective, even if the opponent is a flying and creeping ranker, it is of no use. This is because, in reality, even holy knights and healers who have completed the 2nd job change are crawling in front of this poison. By the way. Hmm. At this point, cut off mana. From here on, if you release the flow by 1% again... The person who should have been struggling with pain and despair was only muttering to himself, and had a very calm face. Please do something nervous! You don''t know what your situation is right now! Huh? What''s my situation? Jinhyuk tilted his head. Ugh! Okay. Bo Hani seems to be an outsider here, but I''ll explain what will happen soon. If you get hit by Cheongeukcheonhwapok, your blood vessels will swell first and you will gradually lose sensation from the tip of your right leg... "Are your legs moving well?" Jinhyuk moved his right leg lightly. slick slick. From your toes to your calves, then your thighs and pelvis. Muscles tap dance. Huh? Why is this...? Well . Isn''t the poison a bit lame? Wow, what are you talking about! It''s a waste of time for the feast of the text! Or not. Or no, why are you so loud? It doesn''t really have any effect though. As Jinhyuk died as if he didn''t care, Xuehwa''s face became even more sinister. ...I don''t know what the move was, but the second symptom is unavoidable. Even if she survived by luck, there is no next time. Because the secondary symptoms were spreading along the mana circuit throughout the body. Ha-am. I don''t expect much, but I hope you''re right this time. This one definitely has a spicy taste, but it didn''t make me sweat. Should I say that it''s like half the hot chicken sauce? "I look forward to seeing how far I can go with that spare time." Xue Hua smiled coldly, looking forward to the scene after a while. However. This time the result was the same. The opponent who had to fall, bleeding from Chilgong, was smiling so peacefully. There is only one reason why this happened. no way. Are you telling me to believe that I''ve deciphered the Cheongeukcheonhwa poison... now? A close-combat-type capable person. Besides, a ranker belonging to Korea, not China, has deep knowledge even in the German Communist Party. If there were other engineering commanders here, it was a nonsense that would have burst out in laughter as soon as they heard it. However, it means that the opponent calculated all blood levels, mana circuits, and the amount and type of poison flowing through them, and destroyed them all. It was an absurd story, but seeing that it was so intact, there was no other way to explain it. On your poison [ I made a more venomous poison by blending the blood magi. I counteracted the poison by dispensing it properly. ] When I say it, it sounds great. To be honest, I still don''t know what the blood levels of gyeongmunhyeol or cheonjuhyeol are or where they are located. Because it was more convenient to just memorize and learn with your body at random. In the end, all of this is just the product of hard work that I learned through trial and error. And at that very moment. [You have acquired the skill ''Thousand Poison (AA)''!] [Cheon poison (ǧ)] Acquisition Difficulty: AA Description: A unique ability to wield a thousand poisons, it can be used in a myriad of fields, from extreme poison that takes effect immediately to delayed poison that gradually worsens symptoms. In addition, a certain level of ''detoxification'' because the knowledge of poison is deepened. Abilities are also acquired. In front of Jinhyuk, a status window indicating the success of the copy appeared. This gave me another ability. It is also a unique ability that can be used infinitely. And, of course, if you acquire a new ability, you should use it immediately. You don''t seem to know much about poison, so I''ll tell you what I did this time. take a good look How to use poison. ...! Xuehua was nervous and prepared for an attack. The battle between Germans is, of course, a series of poisoning and detoxification. The one who uses a higher level of self-defense will win this battle. ''Don''t panic. You have to be calm.'' The restraints of the few remaining German readers in China. Wasn''t he a master who was educated for gifted children from a young age? He experienced numerous poisons with his own body and researched countless rare poisons. No matter how much the opponent was flying and crawling, he was confident that he would never be pushed as far as the dock. But that vain hope... . Cool! It had to collapse even at the end. Red blood flowed from Xuehua''s mouth. When the poison was used. When did the addiction develop? Even what poison was used... couldn''t figure it out "Then you " with a short sigh. kuung! Xuehua''s body collapsed. damn it damn it! How can things be so tangled! Tenqiao, who was in charge of the center of the elf village, ran frantically along the road leading to the forest. At a certain moment, contact with all the platoons as well as the other engineering commanders was lost. In addition, more than 30% of his power was lost due to the pursuit of mad elves and rangers wearing pink dresses and wielding Sorcery bats. Worst case. But if I somehow meet Xue Hua and settle the whole battle line... . There will still be an opportunity to turn the game around, which has been on the defensive. But. When I managed to get to the main camp. Tenchao had a gut feeling that something had gone terribly wrong. Tents are all on fire. And in the tent where the engineering captain was, I saw Xuehua lying on the floor, bleeding. sure. There was also a figure of a dead person waiting for another prey next to him. I had a hard time coming from a long way. What should I do? It''s a dead end here. Jinhyuk slowly got up from his seat. title CH 123 . uninvited guests (4) There is a thing called natural disaster. What a human cannot do. A disaster that comes so suddenly and unexpectedly. And right now, Tenqiao had to feel with his whole body what a natural disaster was like. KwaKwaKwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa! The ground cracks like dry branches. Ugh... A heavy moan escaped from Tenqiao''s mouth. My hands and feet were shaking, but I didn''t even have time to complain. Because the next attack flew right away. kwaaang! An explosion of swords struck Tenqiao''s attitude. Tenqiao''s body bounced back about 4 meters. He barely managed to balance himself, so he almost fell to the ground. Hey. It''s surprisingly strong. Did the Chinese guild scouts find good talent? Jinhyuk exclaimed as if he was surprised. No, really. I was going to finish it in three rounds, but I didn''t think I would make it five times. If I do well, will I be able to hold out two more times? How dare you do something like this. If you take retaliation in all of China, no matter how famous you are, you can''t deal with it all alone. Damn it. You know that too! Tenqiao put a belt around his neck. Popularization! With that one word, everything worked. Famous guilds around the world expressed their displeasure, and small and medium-sized guilds trembled. After all, he has a huge number of people, huge capital, and strong rankers, so he has a high sassy. Above all, the Chinese Guild, where three men named Namgungcheon are holding on, has solidified its position in the world that no one can ignore. However. There are facts they don''t know. Even Namgungcheon, which is becoming so divinity, could not go beyond the 20th floor of the tower. And the fact that Jin-hyeok in front of him is a player who has climbed to a place that cannot be compared with that. If I kill you and wipe out the rest, does that mean that Namgungcheon will come all the way here? what? Tenqiao''s eyes widened rapidly. It''s as if it''s hard to believe what you''ve heard right now. However, Jinhyuk lightly ignored Tenqiao''s reaction and continued his speech. As I heard. Everyone chirps his name like a parrot, so I want to see how the hell he''s grown. ...Crazy. If you meet him in person, you will regret what you said now. So let''s check it out. Whether I regret it or not. Will I cry or will Namgungcheon cry? Because I''m so curious about that. Jinhyuk shrugged. I don''t feel any tension at all. With a very casual tone of voice. Seeing that, Tenqiao bit his lip. ''I don''t know if that man will really be a match for Namgungcheon-nim... .'' What is certain is that the level of the players here is a strong enemy that cannot be dealt with. Of course, there is no one-on-one win. However, even if he escaped, his life was killed by the guild anyway. if so There is only one way. Tenqiao''s eyes narrowed. You have decided what to do. All. Spread the blood margin! ...! ...! The faces of the players waiting in the back changed. blood margin. In order to achieve the purpose of killing the target alone, it is a formation that attacks even allies surrounded by it. As a last resort to use when the difference in power is extreme, it was taking the form of pouring everything out while ignoring defense. Even if all the bones are buried here, as much as that man must be removed. All right. Wow! Once an order has been given, it must be obeyed no matter how unreasonable it is. The players quickly formed a camp centering on Jinhyuk. It is so strong that not even a single ant cub can pass. It seemed to tell how harshly the players belonging to the Chinese Guild had been training. You may not know it, but you must have already practiced a lot with people. Externally, it was attached to the unwritten rule, but it was already publicly known about how brutally the Chinese Guild trains. ''also. You are spreading the blood margin.'' Jinhyuk nodded as if he had expected it. In fact, there were many reasons for putting the opponent into such a corner. To make them mentally exhausted and use the last resort. To be precise, to achieve the desired ''copy condition'' through it. Name: Tenqiao Gender: Male Age: 35 Level: 29 Strength 31 Dexterity 24 Stamina 25 mana 33 Strength 55 Stat Points you have: 0 Coins held: 17,463 Occupation: Commander Unique Ability: ''Taishan Sword'' skill: Lv10 ''Taesan Swordsmanship (̫ɽ)'', Lv9 ''Strengthening Jinbeop'', Lv9 ''Blood Coma (Ѫ)'', Lv8 ''Taesanbo (̫ɽ)'', Lv7 ''Heavenly Desire (_ؾW)'' [Copy conditions: Donggwijin(ͬw춱M). If you push Tenqiao and his followers to an extreme situation and use the blood margin of the sheep spear concept, and if you can survive without a single wound in the camp, you can copy one of Tenqiao''s skills. It''s possible.] There was no reason to copy the lower ability ''Taishan Sword'', as long as there was already ''Sword Soul Sword'' in the ''Sword Grave''. ''It''s rather cumbersome.'' Jinhyuk frowned. After copying a lot of job skills that are not very effective, I don''t want to win mentally because I have this many skills. However, if you ask if Tenqiao has only useless skills, that is not the case. The offensive skill doesn''t matter much, but there''s only one. Because I have a non-combat skill that I covet. ''After all, when you become an engineering captain, you seem to have at least one rolling skill.'' Heaven''s wish. The encirclement that there was no place to escape under the sky had many uses even after that. Yes, it is this skill if you copy it. ''By the way, it''s a blood margin... It was the last time I flirted with the guys from the Moorim side. It''s been a while since I''ve played against him.'' Jinhyuk slowly scanned the encirclement. Like a formation that was passed down directly from Moorim and completed, the overall solidity was admirable. No matter who is inside, they will have to sweat and worry about their own lives. However, in Jinhyuk''s eyes, there were loopholes here and there. It''s very insignificant, but I don''t think I''ll be able to sleep comfortably at night if I just skip it. It should be pointed out Because it''s the same as the instinct of the deceased. Ummm...the second from the right. If you''re going to use the left-handed sword technique, you shouldn''t take on the part that corresponds to the wing of the blood margin. When you match up with your colleagues next to you, there''s about a half step difference. what? Where do you see in the middle? Yes you. That''s your story. The center of gravity is too forward. You have to position yourself so that it can move from side to side instead of in front of Jin. "Uh, how ?" As the criticism continued, the players were startled and changed their posture. On the other hand, Tenqiao''s face became more and more horribly distorted. I had no choice but to do so. Because there was nothing wrong with what Jinhyuk was saying now. And. If you insist on this Jin against an enemy who knows your blood margin so perfectly... . There is no need to say what the end of this fight will be. even knowing that Kill it! Tenqiao had to order the attack. Because now there was only one means left. fault! taat! Formula 1, [Blood and Magical Jade Dissipation (Ѫħ)] Dozens of swords were exploding as they erased each other''s sword paths. If it interferes, it will not only cut allies, but also calculate the direction of the opponent''s escape. Therefore, with this one meal alone, quite a few rankers were able to subdue. Kaka Kaka! Kaaan! A dazzling flame lit up. Countless battles took place. However, the sound of the blades clashing only pierces the eardrums. I could not hear the crackling sound of the flesh being cut, nor the moaning of pain swallowing up. The attack was completely blocked. Still, it was the best match of all the guys I''ve ever met. Jinhyuk shrugged. This is sincere. A decent level... No, this is enough to put some strength on your shoulders wherever you go. sure, From the other person''s point of view, even such a compliment would sound like an insult. Hurry up... Link the second equation right now! Tenqiao shouted, but it was already too late. Who''s going to keep an eye on you? Jinhyuk had already dug into the weakest point of the blood margin. Since the connection part was loosened due to the activation of Equation 2, the surprise shone even more. Hey, here it is! shit! Shoot...Shoot it! The players turned and swung their swords and spears at Jinhyuk. However, that futile struggle . [The unique ability ''Star Blessing'' is activated!] It was blocked by the dazzling light falling from the sky. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Blessing of the starlight and divine power harmonized in one place, and a soft energy rose around Jinhyuk''s body. At the same time. I only defended myself. This time it''s my turn. Jinhyeok, who retrieved the dagger, summoned the twin dragon swords from the subspace inventory. A pair of relics appeared in the distorted space. That''s...! Dangerous. The moment Tenqiao felt that way. A gentle sword strike swept the ground. blow. With a single sword, the blood margin was broken. To be precise, it wasn''t a broken level, but all the players who were building the camp died. And only one Tenqiao survived the disaster. Hey, this can''t be... Tenqiao''s voice trembled violently. Colleagues and subordinates who practiced with all their might to forget the roots of Chinese martial arts even before the Tower of Trials arrived... . Even within the Chinese Guild, the elites who have been deduced for this mission . I''m going to fall down like this in vain ''how How strong are you? This guy.'' If we could die together as Donggwijin, I thought that was enough. It was an illusion. Even with the determination to risk his life, even inflicting a single wound was too difficult. Maybe it really is a monster that can only be dealt with when Namgungcheon comes. As I continued to think about it, I could feel that the situation was indeed much more serious now. ''never You must not point the sword at him.'' Tenqiao''s instinct shouted. Never put the two of them in one place. If there was a life-and-death battle, I didn''t know if I would draw the worst card out of all the conceivable cases. The worries didn''t last long. Tenqiao grabbed the sword with both hands. I will decide the match with this attack. Whether I win or lose, there is no next time for me. at the end of that word. The atmosphere has changed. No, it''s not just the atmosphere that has changed. A blue energy burning from the tip of the sword. Pants... . The quenched Sword Qi soared sharply. ''Taishan sword shape''. It can split even ten meters of rocks in one blow. ''Form 2 (ڶʽ)''. Taesan Sword''s Secret Technique was cast. ''Taeil Island''! KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Sword Qi rushed right in front of Jinhyuk''s nose. Now, if the moment passes, the neck will be cut cleanly. right then Jinhyuk slowly took his stance. ''Chuhon Sword Dance (׷ꄦ)''. The sword chosen by the swordsman to reach the tip of the sword. The strongest sword that is said to be able to cut even the soul. It was manifested through the twin dragon swords at this moment. ''Eighth Eighth (ڰʽ)''. A different energy began to take over the space. The jet-black ganggi expressed through ''Tomb of Swords'' waited for the completion of the ceremony. And finally. Someone took the first step into an area that even the residents of Moorim could not reach. One female soul. like that. Everything was dyed black. CH 124 . How the dead win the festival (1) My vision returned only after ''All Dark Souls'' was finished. It was a natural story, but there was no one standing in front of Jinhyuk. Tenchao, who had turned into a rag, had already stopped breathing for a long time. Throb! Throb! Throb! Jinhyuk frowned slightly at the pain he felt all over his body. ''Is it still unreasonable to use up to 8 meals?'' Thinking of being the last engineering captain, I even tried using a high-level sword. The power itself was absurd, but it was a state that was too high for its level and proficiency. This is why it seems to be said that not only software but also hardware are important. No matter how good the interior is, if the exterior is poor, the efficiency will be extremely low. ''Muscle pain is no joke. I have to go to bed after recovering from the heart method.'' It was at that time when Jinhyuk was holding his body. [You have acquired the skill ''Heavenly Desire (_ؾW) (BB)''!] [Heavenly Desire (_ؾW)] Description: It means the net of heaven and earth. It refers to a siege that can never be escaped. Cheonlajimang displays the location of the designated target up to 10km, and has the ability to predict the optimal route by integrating the movement path of the target and possible variables. However, this skill is more effective when there are more companions. [The copied ability is stored in ''Memory of the World''.] A status window appears indicating the success of the copy condition. Heaven''s wish. I have acquired a skill that is useful for chasing and can do my job well in chasing. ''It''s a bit disappointing that I couldn''t even get to Li Keqiang''s ability, but I''ve collected enough to eat it up.'' As long as Elise has gone, they will not be able to find the body, so they have no choice but to give up. Jinhyuk wiped the dust off his body. Sylvia joined the Tesla side, so it shouldn''t be a problem... . If the rest of the rangers use the familiar forest features, there will be no problem in chasing the remnants of the Chinese Guild. Yes. After all, this was the land of the elves. At this point in time when all the engineering captains are down, there will be no variables. With this, this battle is over. Shanghai, China. Here, where one of the branches of the Chinese Guild is located, there is an emergency due to a sudden emergency. One reason to call. It was because all the raids that went to the 6th floor Elf Forest were destroyed. In a heavy, subdued atmosphere. A dozen men and women held a meeting around the table. The raid consisting of three S-class and 500 men has been annihilated.... A small number of surviving scouts have been sending out information... but that''s probably true. A man said, fanning his hand. Even though the temperature of the air conditioner is turned down a lot, the heat rising from the body is probably because of the pressure of the situation. If you say that you are a first-class ranger, the mana level is less than 5,000. They say that an A-class is enough. But how the hell did they subdue the three engineering commanders? This time, a woman with short short hair raised her eyebrows. Although she was also one of the main rankers of the Chinese guild, which received an S-class judgment. It was impossible to accept the fact that players of the same class had been attacked by elves. "If you listen to the scouts, they say it was done by a guy named Kang Jin-hyuk. Why, a ranker whose stock price is rising in Korea?" "Ha was that guy a problem again?" Damn. Yeah. I saw a video of him as well. He was a total monster. That''s why you fail. Why the hell is that bastard throwing a candle at what we do? The guys who went there must have said they belonged to the Chinese Guild, but were you still flirting? At the word Kang Jin-hyuk, irritable voices erupted all over the place at the same time. Complaints, dissatisfaction, and envy that had usually accumulated were mixed in one place. right then ...Tell me which card you can respond to. What can we do? The man sitting in the middle of the table opened his mouth. sharp impression. A strong body that reaches 190 cm. That was Liao Yu, the second-in-command of the Chinese guild and the guild deputy master. The man who was briefing for the first time answered immediately. Tenqiao, Li Keqiang, and Xuehua were in the low 10,000 range. Although they were strong, they were ranked in the middle and upper ranks of our guild. Not all S-classes are the same. Since the rank system has not been established yet, if the total of mana and other stats reaches 10,000 or more, they are all grouped together as S-class. if so . "On our side, we just need to send rankers of a similar level to our opponent. A mana measure of 20,000 or more. In other words, if you are an assassin belonging to the main raid commander or the executive branch, you will be able to subdue even the most arrogant ranker of the peninsula. The Chinese Guild is not counted as one of the seven largest guilds in the world for nothing. It was possible because we had a lot of talented people. Although the elves were able to subdue enough, the raid was sent. If the situation is like this, then the only thing to do is to reorganize the talented people who are suitable for it. Fortunately, there was still time until the date ordered by Namgungcheon. "Are you saying that it can be solved with that level of line?" Liaoyu asked again. Yeah. Just right, the 2nd raid team returned after finishing the labyrinth raid, so if you give me permission, I can get Kang Jinhyuk''s head right away. The 2nd raid... Liaoyu''s eyes narrowed. Obviously, if it was the 2nd raid, which is considered to be one of the best in the Chinese Guild, there seemed to be a sufficient chance of winning. Unlike the hastily rushed to attack the elven forest, this was a signboard-level raid that was made with great care. ''Even if it''s a flying and creeping guy, there''s nothing you can do about it this time.'' Yes. Even if the opponent approaches the boss monster, it is of no use. This time, it was definitely the turn to catch him and wash away this disgrace. By the way. Tttttttt. A lot of people get together and say stupid things. A short click of the tongue intervened. Not a table in the center of the conference hall, but a little further away. In the shadowed darkness, a man slowly appeared. trembling The body of everyone who was sitting trembled thinly. Liaoyu also had a great atmosphere, but it was nothing compared to the man who appeared now. A different kind of interior. The inside of the conference hall was overwhelmed by the mere opening of the mouth. Mo Yong-soo... sir... [The oldest member of the Mo Yong-se family belonging to Moorim.] One of the members of the five generations who have built up ''nothing'' and ''hyup'' through the ages has now appeared outside the tower. Yeah. Originally, I didn''t intend to go into your business, but I thought if I left it alone, the same thing would happen again. Ilgal with bones. Liaoyu immediately understood the meaning. "You mean the 2nd raid isn''t enough?" Yes. " " Despite not explaining the reason for the lack, Liaoyu calmly accepted the reality. It was because he knew that there was nothing wrong with Mo Yongsu, even if it were no one else. But not everyone was like that. Stand, maybe...? You''re not serious, are you? There is only one opponent! It would be amazing to see all of the Chinese Guild''s main 2 raids go... but that''s not enough. Is your self-esteem hurt? The wounded wild dogs barked louder. Mo Yong-su snorted and turned his head. I think there was a record of the other person''s appearance before, please show it to me. Everyone will see and feel something if their eyes aren''t knotholes. Oh, I see. [The video is played.] Immediately, a video of Tenqiao and Jinhyuk fighting was played. It was filmed from quite a distance, so the picture quality wasn''t very clear. Even so, I could see the bloody margin and Jin-hyeok destroying it without filtration. " It''s quite a bit, but that''s more attributable to the mistakes of our players." The blood margin is more like an overly subversive and ignorant formation than sophisticated. Sheesh. I''m like that too... Rather than being objective, the evaluation was based on emotion. ''After all, it seems that these guys are invisible at the level.'' Mo Yong-soo''s eyes flickered. strong. just overwhelming. It was interesting to use the Chumoon Sword, which is not common even in Moorim. What caught Mo Yong-soo''s attention more than that was the state of the sword that the opponent casted. ''I''m sure there are people who can use up to 8 types of chuhonswords.'' Completeness, power, and understanding of the sword. It was to the extent that I had to put up with the pain of bursting into tears as I watched it over and over again. Besides, if. If it wasn''t all that a man named Kang Jin-hyuk showed me... . If so, the 9 types of the Soul Sword... No, what if more expressions could be used? Mo Yong-su felt a cold sweat running down his back. ''It may be difficult for me too.'' perhaps . It may be that the late index to succeed Moorim''s name was chosen incorrectly outside of the tower. Maybe I should have chosen that man, not Namgungcheon. And there may come a day when you will regret that you made the wrong choice. Mo Yong-su began to earnestly contemplate. Let me speak directly to Namgungcheon. You guys should take a step back from this. It''s a shame, but it''s not something you guys can handle. Time passed frantically to collect the body and restore the village. About three weeks have passed since Jinhyuk came to the Elf Forest. The festival was postponed, but in the meantime, Jinhyuk had a very useful time. [Lv10 ''Glacier Formation'' is activated!] [The 3-star barrier ''7-fold barrier'' is activated!] A neat link between skill and barrier. The process of suppressing the enemy through glacial modeling while blocking the opponent''s expected escape route with a barrier was as natural as flowing water. Kyaaaaah! My noble legs and wings...! It''s cold. I really think I''m going to freeze to death! Alice, frozen to her thighs, screamed. I was promised spaghetti carbonara and fine wine in return for helping me practice my skill. In return, Elise had to experience the extreme daily part-time job. uhm. By the way, it''s still noisy. Should I freeze my mouth? Cold Mosquito! Ice Mosquito! The sweet potato who was running next to him shouted as if he was excited at the same time. The sweet potato with round yellow eyes looked happy even with a fist-sized chunk of ice hanging from its tail. ''I''m quite used to this now.'' Except for the occasional helping the elves, he devoted himself to practice all day. To find a little more effective combination. To make the composition a little more efficient. It really went crazy. ''Thanks to you, I was able to find quite a lot of interesting things.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. Other players will spend 90 days hunting and getting items that don''t work. ''I''m different.'' It felt like each day passed faithfully. pounding! pounding! pounding! So it was expected. What kind of ripple effect will the current gap have in the future? How much better rewards and performances will be connected in the future. that''s all That was when Jinhyuk was spreading his imagination. "Uh I is there something like a bonfire?" Alice with a bluish face approached. Why? Is it cold? What? Ha! That''s right! For a noble night noble, this is just cool! I''m just... I''m afraid this sweet potato-like reptile will catch a cold. I''m worried about that. Hmm. To say that is the face of a private soldier who is trained in the cold season... . Jinhyuk looked at Elise with a questionable face. Elise trembled, but she quickly avoided her gaze to the side. If you make fun of yourself and touch your pride, some kind of catastrophe may happen. For now, I''ll trust you. As you said, our sweet potato. You shouldn''t catch a cold. Whoops! When the ''Element of Fire'' was activated, the air quickly heated up. Uh-huh... Alice warmed herself up with an expression that she would live only then. By the way. ...is that? Something caught the eye of Jinhyuk, who was sitting properly. CH 125 . How the dead win the festival (2) Mushrooms with colorful patterns. On the 6th floor, you can only see it in ''The Elf Forest'' [It was an acid mushroom.] ''Oh. After all, it was here too.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. Acid mushrooms, as the name suggests, are mushrooms with strong acid and poison. It means that it is a food of death that immediately melts from the mouth to the esophagus when eaten. But the poisonous pufferfish is a delicacy. Even acidic mushrooms, if cooked properly, can be reborn as ingredients that even gourmets will cry. ''Of course, no one can fix this.'' It required the extreme skill of the chef, as the entire mushroom could be damaged even with one very fine knife move. It''s fun. Should I say that the desire for a challenge is about to burn? It was when Jinhyuk was looking at the mushrooms very slowly. Sylvia came out of the forest on the other side and found Jinhyuk. "Jinhyuk-nim! I, the elder called me for a moment huh?" Seeing Jinhyeok gathering mushrooms, Sylvia widened her eyes. "Is that something you want to eat?" Yeah. I thought I''d try it. Ah. I think it could be because you don''t know, but it''s an acidic mushroom that''s the kind of mushroom that you can''t eat. The recipe was lost several hundred years ago, so we''re just leaving this mushroom alone. Sylvia laughed softly. It seems that the fact that Jinhyeok told me something he didn''t know for the first time came to me quite happily. I''m a little sorry that I have to tread on that expectation horribly, but... . I can''t help it. I can''t go back after hearing that. Then, I''ll have to give it a try. Yes? Come on, I hope... It''s good to look forward to. The special mushroom dish of the deceased. Even if the two of them die while eating, there is no evidence. I heard that the festival that has been delayed is going to be held tonight. Elder Pennheim is looking for him for a reason related to it. And. The theme of the dish to be used for this festival has now been decided. A night sky full of stars. Beyond the time of mourning for the loss of a companion and the burning of the village. Finally, the festival of the elves was held. ''It''s really awesome.'' Jinhyuk walked through the forest with a leisurely pace. Countless meteor showers and fireflies flying through the grass created a fantastic sight. Of course, the best of them were the mystical spirits and the elves who were splendid. [The fire spirit ''Salamander'' breathes a small fire.] [The water spirit ''Undine'' is startled and begins to evolve with water.] The spirits of water and fire, which cannot be seen on the lower floors of the tower, ran around holding fig fruits in their hands. The elves also played various instruments, drank fragrant drinks, and enjoyed the festival to the fullest. timely. T-tiring! The blue status window flickered in front of Jinhyuk. [I witnessed an amazing sight.] [If you upload it to the Tower of Trials HOT issue video, you will receive the highest level banner!] The system is also acknowledged. Of course, this scene deserves a lot of people to see. Seriously, where else can you see such a spectacle? For the sake of everyone''s ocular purification, this image should be kept for a long time. Yeah. I''ll start filming from now on. Jinhyuk nodded his head. When I activated the broadcast system, everything I saw and heard began to be saved. If you don''t know, if this video is uploaded later, you will be able to plunge the players who raise the number of views by introducing the unique location of the Tower of Trials. Jinhyuk-nim! Here it is! Kuh-hum! Big! We''re here. mosquito! Various voices called Jinhyuk. It was Sylvia, Ellis, and the sweet potato. It seems like they put a lot of effort into their costumes for this festival. Sylvia was wearing a fluttering, translucent elven traditional outfit, perfectly matched with her short golden hair. On the other hand, Ellis chose to wear a nice dark dress. It seems to have been prepared with a strong mind in mind that it was decorated with colorful jewels in an atmosphere of noble dignity. In fact, the two of them spent three hours honing their souls for this festival. But. Ttttttt. When you have time to do that, shoot one more arrow and practice flying the blood spears. What''s more, would your opponent be intimidated by such an outfit? Jinhyuk''s reaction was cold. It''s like an iron wall. No, even after seeing this, are you still getting that sound? This dress, this one. In the past, dwarves were caught and made for a year! Usually, they are busy complimenting them as soon as they see them! Alice raised her voice. A gloomy day stood in the sharp tone of voice. No. I don''t know if it''s a costume... Jinhyuk, who was quickly looking around, saw someone and shouted loudly. Look at me! Over there! Where the finger pointed, there was a Tesla with a look as if he had lost his country. Despite being a place where everyone can show off, Tesla still had to pay the price of losing the bet. Jinhyuk nodded his head as if he was proud. big How practical and intimidating is the outfit? A red mustache and a magic bat in a pink dress. It is the look of a person with cold sweat running down his back just by meeting him. ''You look at least three times stronger.'' To be honest, if I ran into a guy like that on the field, I wouldn''t be able to help but be nervous. Woohoo. Jinhyuk-sama... Okay. Don''t talk, don''t talk. I was wrong. You should have expected what you expected. Sylvia and Ellis sighed as if they were tired. Master! Reckless mosquito! Potatoes also added a word. But, yes or no. Jinhyuk admired the Tesla''s outfit with a proud face. also. ''I didn''t get my eyes wrong.'' That was the best outfit that could be flexibly converted into battle in case of an emergency. How much time has passed since we laughed and chatted like that? Hey heh! Big! Penheim, who was among the elders, cleared his throat. The eyes were turned to one side. Originally, we should have a concert right away, but before that, this old man will just say one presumptuous word. After a moment''s hesitation, Penheim looked down at the left crowd. I''m sure everyone knows. Three weeks ago, humans outside the tower broke into the village and lost many of their companions and precious parts of the forest. ...whoah. Ugh... " " The atmosphere quickly subsided. It was because it was difficult to shake off the painful memories of losing precious things. Of course, I didn''t bring up this story to dig up the wounds. Pennheim continued. "But right here. Thanks to Jinhyuk Kang, the village was able to survive. We were able to mourn those who sent us here first. We can continue tomorrow. All thanks to that benefactor." thanks and thanks. And beyond that, the atmosphere was once again reversed by the fact that it allowed the existence of a race to continue. Everyone looked at Jinhyuk with an indescribable gaze. noob! nod... . When Jinhyuk''s eyes met, he bowed one knee to greet him. The sight of thousands of elves paying their respects at the same time created another rare scene. Even the spirits expressed their gratitude for protecting the forests of the elves. Small flames and small water droplets flowed in different directions, and the wind gently embraced Jinhyuk. Ummm. Again, this is incredibly burdensome. Jinhyuk muttered as if he was embarrassed by excessive attention and manners. There is no need to feel burdened. Everyone is sincerely grateful to Jinhyuk. Sylvia laughed too. That''s right. Take it boldly. If you''re my contractor, this is normal. Contrary to her natural tone, Alice''s face was slightly recalled. The fact that his contractor was recognized by everyone seemed to be unbearably enjoyable. finally. This old man. This village. And our people. I will remember you forever. Penheim bowed his head deeply. After a short speech, the festival began in earnest. To be precise, the concert, the flower of the festival, began. As a mysterious and beautiful melody resounded, exclamations flowed from all over the place. at that time. How do you feel? This is the music of the elves. It''s an art different from that of humans. Tesla, who was approaching all of a sudden, made a lot of fuss. Hmm. "I have to put on that outfit and hold onto the weight, so I can''t empathize with it at all." The pink gay prince shows up with a Sorcery wand. wow It''s so solemn and majestic, it''s almost like you''re bowing your head. Ugh! This bastard...! Don''t get too excited on a good day. I know that your music is great. " ho. It seems that the ears are attached as decorations though." Well, I tend to hear people say that they have good hearing. And with this kind of music, no matter who comes, you can''t help but admire it. Jinhyuk shrugged. These words are sincere. It felt like the stress I had accumulated over the years just melted away just by being here. By the way, I heard that you are going to the concert too. Is that true? I heard that participation is free for everyone. I thought I would try at least once to experience it. "Fuhaha! It''s an experience that''s good. It''s also a good experience to despair because of the difference in level. Tesla went crazy. This guy also has a weird personality. Because I lose everything else, I want to win even in this field somehow... Did you feel the whining tenacity of such an elementary school student? After all, people with crooked self-esteem are said to be abnormal because of this. sure. ''I''m crooked as well.'' The more I look at it like this, the more I want to throw my opponent into the abyss. Yes. The Sorcery rod in the pink dress was a bit weak. With that level of look, it is equivalent to the weakest among the dead. Then let''s do this. If I win... Winning? You mean? Listen without interrupting. If I don''t win, the clothes are now. I''ll take them off immediately. ...Okay. Tell me somewhere. You''ve just heard of the failure conditions. Instead, if I win, I''ll add cat ears, a tail and fluffy rabbit fur shoes to your outfit. Gee, what kind of bullshit is that now! I feel like I''m going to die of shame for what I''m wearing now, so why are you wearing that again! kwaang! Tesla hit the ground with his foot. He was so embarrassed that his face was flushed red. Huh? Are you afraid of losing to a human? It''s not. It won''t happen. You just have to be so confident. Your side will win anyway, so what are you worried about? Profit! That''s good! I''ll give you a real sense of what the level difference is between elves and humans! Tesla grabbed the bait again. what is this eat it cold If all the people in the world were like this guy, scammers would make a big splash with a building in Gangnam... . Are you sure you promised? An elf always keeps his word. After all, it''s a noble race. Jinhyuk smiled and turned around. As we climbed up the flat hill, we saw various musical instruments. there is only one to choose [Decartan] It is an elf-only instrument that resembles a violin. It goes without saying, but he''s much more difficult to handle than the violin. ''I made a huge mistake here in the past.'' It''s a recorder. Come to think of it now, it was a black history that I wanted to do about 30,000 more kicks. But now it''s different. ''Not different.'' Jinhyuk slowly pulled mana together. Then that moment. [Lv3 ''Heavenly Melody'' is activated.] An indescribable energy passed through his fingertips and extended to the instrument. It''s a start. CH 126 . How the dead win the festival (3) The air has changed. No, it wasn''t just the air that changed. Oh ! What a beautiful song... Unbelievable. Fluffy hairs were on the skin. The closed mouth slowly opened. [Titanic - My Heart Will Go On] In the past, I had a recorder in my mouth and played while ignoring all the pitch beats. Of course, it was completely different back then. skill ''Heaven''s melody'' was not just about playing an instrument, it was able to reproduce the background and memories of the song. With a soft melody, a huge ocean unfolded before everyone''s eyes. [Every night in my dreams .] There was a man who dreamed of a new world and wanted to live. There was a woman who was locked in a cage, lamenting her own fate and wishing to die. This song... . It contains the story of the two of them. [I see you. I feel you .] A man met a woman. The woman met a man. The two met each other like fate. [Love was when I loved you .] The man decides to die to save the one he loves. And . The woman decided to live in honor of the one she loved. The song continued to play. A mournful rhyme echoed through the forest. In the stillness where even the sound of breathing has stopped. Jinhyuk busily moved his hands toward the climax of the song. Long, slender fingers gently caressed each string on the instrument. [Once more, you open the door !] None of them have ever seen the movie. That''s natural. Because it belonged outside the tower. However, Transcending languages and cultures, all the elves here could feel their hearts beating fast. beautiful. I could only express it like that, so my whole body was trembling. No, that''s ridiculous. How could a human being... An earthquake struck Tesla''s pupil. [The Descartan is a musical instrument that is notoriously difficult to handle even elves.] All 49 strings respond to different mana, and the tone that can be produced varies according to the inclination of the instrument. But, such a brilliant performance. It was an unbelievable hand gesture. ''No, it''s not just the hand that''s great.'' understanding of the instrument. Above all, his understanding of the song he was playing now made the listeners go goosebumps. It was Teslon, who promised not to show any sympathy in any case... . At this point, I had to admit it. That the other party is a monster of a different level even in the field of music. At the same time. ''Damn it... .'' In my head, a picture of myself wearing cat ears, a tail, and even rabbit shoes flashed past me. I also swore that I would never bet with that guy again. The five-minute performance ended, but no applause was heard. It was because everyone was still in the afterglow. match! Wow... ah ah! The first applause and cheers erupted a few minutes later. Gee, did you hear me now? It''s the first time I''ve ever heard such a beautiful song in my life. I think it''s good to be alive... The elves swept their chests. [The fire spirit ''Salamander'' shoots a small fire.] [The water spirit ''Undine'' swallows the water droplets.] It was the same with the spirits who admired it. ''Fufu.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. The last time I came, I was even deported permanently for defiling everyone''s ears. This time the situation was completely reversed. ''But was the real recorder that serious? I thought it was pretty good... .'' I do not know. When you get a chance, you should try again. For some reason, I gained confidence that I could do well this time. The applause grew louder and louder. Well, it''s not bad to enjoy the applause and cheers of the elves like this. Before that, the first thing to do is to make fun of Tesla with that shit face over there. It''s been a while since I was in kindergarten, so my hands were a little stiff, but wasn''t it worth listening to? He deliberately mixed up his nicknames and chattered. This is much more effective than swearing openly or swearing in half. Yeah? Hey can you give me an answer? Over there? Smart! " " Tesla bit his lip. He wiggled his lips as if he wanted to spit out a swear word, but that was all. Rather, it was because he knew best that it would be a loss if he spoke. Then, I understand that you have surrendered. Here, it is an additional costume, so please wear it throughout the festival period. After Jinhyuk smiled brightly, he took out the additional accessories he had kept in the subspace inventory. ...I made a mistake. Can''t you just take a look at this? Yes? Haha. No way. A great race will say two things with one mouthful. It''s not like this, right? A. No way. " Please please " The face is almost about to cry. No, if it hadn''t been for seeing eyes, I might have been crying already. Jinhyuk slowly extended his head toward Teslon''s ear. And muttered like a whisper. Change your perspective and think. Would you have looked at me if you were me? ...that, that! Yeah. That''s my answer. So wear it. And someone said that. It''s easy to give up. If you''re having a hard time, think about it. If you die, you''re dead, there''s no option to look after you. There is no negotiation or compromise. In the first place, war is a law that must be fought until one of them falls to the bottom. That way I don''t think I''ll ever climb again. Heh heh. It seems that our ranger captain ate one shot this time too. Please be gentle. No matter how energetic you are, will you be Jinhyuk-sama''s opponent? Penheim, who was approaching me, burst into laughter. It was just a little joke. How friendly are we? " " Jinhyuk placed his hand on Teslon''s shoulder. let''s laugh Yes? laugh a little What else are you doing? "I came here because Jinhyuk won the concert. I wanted to give you a prize." Oh. How about a product? Usually you can choose one of the instruments. It''s an instrument... . Elf''s instruments have their own rarity, so they''re definitely not bad products. There was a trait that it can be sold and used in an atmosphere that will instantly increase your favorability. For now, can I take a look and decide? Hmm. You can do that if you want. The place we reached along Pennheim was a small cave. From here on, you cannot enter with weapons. Please forgive me. Chunkyung! thud! The guards guarding the entrance crossed the spear they were holding. Still, it''s a treasure trove, how much border? These people! This is the benefactor who saved the village! No, that''s fine. When you come to Rome, you have to obey Roman law. Jinhyuk shrugged and handed the dagger and twin dragon sword he was holding. No matter how formal the procedure, it was polite to respect the customs of the elves as long as they came to the land. I didn''t even want to make a loud quarrel. After a while, after passing a few more checkpoints, we were able to reach the deepest part of the cave. A place where all kinds of treasures that the elves have gathered over the years are kept. True to its name, the inside was filled with rare items. mosquito! The sweet potato looked around with her amber eyes wide open. It was as if he had found a treasure he liked by waving his tail softly. Jinhyuk was surprised as well. It''s amazing. To be honest, I didn''t expect it to be this big. Heh heh. No words. Ah! Come this way. I''ve kept the instrument here. Pennheim pointed to the instruments laid neatly on the rock. From the Descartan I played a while ago to instruments resembling harps and pianos. Musical instruments made by artisans boasted a splendid appearance. Whichever you choose, you won''t have any regrets. However. Jinhyuk''s eyes were on something completely different from the instrument. ''Oh.'' There was sincerity in the exclamation that came out of his mouth. I had no choice but to do so. The relics I once saw in ancient literature, ''Pentagris molars'' and ''Pentagris fangs''. You''ll see this here. Mythical beast Pentagris is one of the few spirits that can freely navigate all floors of the tower. Even Jinhyuk had only seen him from a distance once, so... . Needless to say, how difficult it is to find relics related to this guy. ''Surely, this was aimed at the village of elves in China.'' Jinhyuk thought so, then shook his head. It can''t be. There was no chance that Junghwa or Moorim would know information that they did not know. ''By the way, it''s really gorgeous.'' The molars are longbows that reach about 1.5 m, and have the effect of realizing and shooting mana without an arrow. In addition, the range and power were also evaluated as the highest level, so there was no rival until the middle of the tower. It means that it is a top-notch relic recognized by everyone. ''The fangs are awesome too.'' Jinhyuk''s gaze turned a little further to the right. A dagger about 38 cm long. Unusually, it had a black surface like obsidian, but only the sword was in a soft greenish form. It is light in weight and excellent in balance, making it the 4th among the holy relics. [green] belonged to the grade. gulp! Salivation ran down my throat. coveted The ten-strength dagger I''m currently using wasn''t bad, but I needed more weapons than that. The higher you go, the stronger and more difficult to deal with, the more you will come out. How about this instead of an instrument? Hmm. I''m sorry, but those weapons are relics that we received after healing the wounded Mythical beast. They have symbolic meanings for the town, so we can''t give them away. but. That''s right. I wouldn''t hand over something of this size as a commodity. If so, then... . I''ll take the decartan. I tried it before and it was perfect for me. It''s an excellent choice. After listening to Jinhyuk''s performance, I was convinced that there is nothing more suitable for Jinhyuk than this instrument. Penheim smiled broadly and reached out for the instrument. [[Elder ''Penheim''] Recognition complete.] [The seal is released.] Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. Again, a security barrier is installed. ''About two stars.'' In an instant, the barrier structure and the flow of mana were all understood. 30 minutes pass. Jinhyeok, who came out of the cave, broke up with Penheim. Penheim asked to enjoy the festival, and then left, and Jinhyuk walked along the trail with the sweet potato through the forest. That was then. mosquito! Huh? Bee. The dagger that the sweet potato had hidden in his mouth dropped to the floor. It was the Fang of Pentagris, a relic kept in a cave. In addition, he could see how he hid it, even a molar, a longbow, under the boat. Uh-huh! What if I just take it with me? Jinhyuk put his finger on the sweet potato''s mouth with a serious expression on his face. Theft! no seriously. Bringing someone else''s property without permission is really bad. mosquito . The sweet potato bowed her head. This would mean repenting. What? Since you saved the village, you deserve this amount? mosquito? Hmm. Well. It might be better for me to use it as a necessity rather than rot in a cave. mosquito!?!? He shouted that the sweet potato had never said such a thing, but Jinhyuk continued. Whoa. I can''t do it. I really didn''t want to do it this far, but if we return it now, our cute sweet potato might be scolded. Really. Yes. These are all actions that the sweet potato had no choice but to cover up for its mistakes. Jinhyuk glanced around. There were no eyes to see. The popularity of the elves was not felt. And . All of a sudden, the bow and dagger that had fallen on the floor disappeared like smoke. CH 127 . How the dead win the festival (4) A stolen item occurred, but none of the elves noticed it. This is because he blindly trusted the sentry guarding the entrance and the security barrier that spreads inside. ''At least a few hours will be fine.'' No matter how quickly you notice, it will take that long. Jinhyuk moved his hands vigorously. Another highlight of the festival is the cuisine. In order to reap the beauty of Yujong who came here, it must be completed perfectly. [Lv3 ''Different World Restaurant'' is activated!] A skill that can satisfy even people with different tastes. As his understanding of cooking increased dramatically, Jinhyuk''s hand movements became even more spectacular. Various vegetables and vegetables were trimmed in an instant. widely! widely! widely! widely! Various cooking utensils such as cutting boards, kitchen knives, and pots purchased from the coin exchange also worked well. [Moist soybean meat] Michelin Star Rating: Contents: Vegetable meat made from white beans and olive oil. The fantastic compatibility with the accompanying rosemary sauce is a Master grade that demonstrates the craftsmanship without filtration! Usually 1 star is ''edible'' treated as food. These include chicken skewers, cup rice, and udon noodles commonly eaten on the street. Two of them are about the same as a course meal at a fancy restaurant or Japanese restaurant. Can I just think of the food I eat when I give my neck a stiff neck after a while and get the color out of my wallet? And from three or more, it makes even gourmets give their thumbs up. But what about more than 4 stars? This is the level at which even the wretched youngest son of a peasant family who has left home comes back overnight and turns him into a gentleman. It means that it has a completely different taste and addiction. squeaky mouths. Oh oh! ha . Great. Exclamations broke out everywhere. Although the skill was activated and Sylvia and Ellis were helping as an assistant, the speed of making did not keep up with the speed of eating. Bowls of leaves, emptying like lightning, piled up like a mountain. As soon as the dishes came out, they disappeared into the mouths of the elves one after another. It''s so delicious... Me too. I don''t think I''ll ever be able to eat other foods from now on. What should I do? Can''t we just ask Jinhyuk-sama to stay in our village? If that doesn''t work, let''s kidnap it. There is an empty space in the basement of our house... Okay, okay. People say they like dumplings, so I''ll just eat them for the rest of my life and make them cook. Somehow, the content of the conversation became more terrifying as it went further. To the elves, who lived a nature-friendly life with restraint of their desires, Jinhyuk''s cooking approached him like a drug. Hwaryongjeomjeong was a mushroom dish that Jinhyuk made while sweating profusely. [Acid Mushroom Gratin] Michelin Star Rating: Content: ''Acid Mushroom'', a very difficult ingredient to handle. However, if cooked through the proper recipe, it can be reborn as one of the top gourmet ingredients in the tower. This dish I made now is a Master grade made through all the processes without mistakes. The leaves are rolled in 4 directions so that the sauce does not drip. It was the detail that felt the delicate consideration for the eater. An earthquake struck Sylvia''s pupil, who was helping her cook. Awe beyond surprise. Now, the real identity of the opponent was to the point of doubting whether it was a human or not. ''You''re really great. This is a mushroom that is known to be impossible to cook... .'' When I first said that I was cooking ''acidic mushrooms''. I thought you were joking. It''s a natural thing. Who would agree to eat a poison nugget? But all those worries disappeared like snow melted the moment Jinhyuk grabbed the knife. This is the realm of art. And. This situation was embarrassing for Elise as well. ''Ugh. None of the head chef''s exclusive cooks dealt with that... .'' One of the absolutes of the tower. Alice, too, has seen and experienced countless things so far. However, none of them were able to cleanly remove the poison of acid mushrooms. ''I thought only his fighting ability was absurd, but he is good at playing instruments and cooking well.'' The corners of Alice''s lips twisted slightly. also. No matter how much I think about it, the decision to sign a contract with Jinhyuk was a decision I had no regrets about. ''Well, if it''s my contractor, of course it should be like that.'' cancer. not like that In order to fit in with him, of course, Jinhyuk had to be the strongest among humans. Alice nodded as if satisfied. This time, I poured a huge mana, so I was planning to draw out Jinhyuk''s blood. Seeing everyone''s recognition, I even thought that I should be gentle a little bit. At the same time. Jinhyuk tilted his head in an unknown cold. The noisy festival became quiet as the night deepened. Everyone fell asleep and fell on the spot. All that was left were a few rangers who were dozing off and guarding the vigil. Of course, even that won''t last long. When the line between dawn and morning is blurring like that. Jinhyuk woke up the sleeping Alice. Yes? Elise gently opened her half-closed eyes. Then he realized that the person who woke him up was Jinhyuk, and got up in surprise. What? It''s not like you''re going to have to clean up the ingredients from this time? What time is it now...? It''s four in the morning. Jinhyuk smiled brightly and added a word. It''s the best time to be vigilant, whether you''re a human or an elf. Is it careless? Yeah. Actually, our sweet potato had a small accident. So we have to get out of there quickly. When the day is bright, there is a high chance of being caught. Mosquito...! Mosquito Mosquito! The sweet potato, who was next to Jinhyuk, tried hard to defend himself. He blinked his yellow eyes. However, Jinhyuk ignored that pathetic excuse at once. It was true that the barrier was dismantled so that sweet potatoes could steal molars and fangs inside the cave. That was only to provide a foothold. The last thing that came out with the relic was the sweet potato. Shh! Mom, Mosquito... No one will speak the language of the ancient species anyway, so this work will be kept in the grave forever. What if I get caught by elves while sneaking out? Didn''t I say that these guys are persistent in their pursuit? If that''s the case, don''t worry. That''s why I put a lot of vegetables and vegetables that are good for a good night''s sleep in last night''s food. ''mountain lettuce'' and ''five-colored leaves'' are common in elven forests. All of them are ingredients used to relieve insomnia. In addition, the effect of each was further amplified due to the ''Different World Restaurant''. The elves will not get out of the dreamland until the sun comes up. ...it''s really amazing. You mean you served the elves a generous meal for the sake of the perfect crime? Well . The original purpose wasn''t that, but really meant to get along well. Things were going in this direction strangely. Again, it''s not my fault, it''s because we were trying to cover up our cutie''s mistake, so this was inevitable. Haha. No matter how you look at it, it seems more like what you did than the Ancient Servant, but now it''s a meaningless story. Well, that''s it. Anyway, the festival ends here. So come in to the ring. I''ll give you another look later. I see. I''m sorry, but I can''t help it. Elise slowly looked at the surroundings. If you want to manifest outside, you know that mana consumption is severe, so you can''t use the swarm any more. I wanted to capture this scenery with my two eyes even now that I was out for a while. However, even that was only for a short time. [Braham''s ring absorbs the souls of his subordinates.] Elise''s face disappeared in an instant. Now is the time to go. Jinhyuk cautiously moved forward. ''See you later.'' He lightly greeted Sylvia, a low-ranking ranger, and Elder Penheim, who were sleeping soundly. He also paid tribute to Teslon, who still did an incredible cosplay. I didn''t hate this icy elf as much as I had heard of hate. to that end. Jinhyuk said goodbye to the long elves. As we got out of the place where the festival was held, our paces got faster. If you are considering a pursuit that will catch up behind you, you should go as far as possible. Even the ''Sword Demon King''s Treasure'' was used, so the surrounding scenery changed in an instant. Too Wook... . fault! As soon as my foot touched the branch, my body sprinted towards the next tree... Of course it has to be fast. How long have you been running with all your might? At last we reached the outer border of the forest. This is the limit point at which the elves give up their pursuit. In other words, it was now completely safe. That was then. Elise, who had been silent, opened her mouth. [By the way, is it okay to go like this? If by any chance the Chinese guild-side guys come back here, the elves wouldn''t have a way to stop it, right?] hoo. Surprisingly, it stabs a sharp part. Since I ate a big room here, I wouldn''t be able to think of it easily in the Chinese Guild. It is a pain in the ass to bring him to Moorim with his teeth sharpened in hopes of revenge. Because the current power of the elves will not be able to stop them at all. In the end, the previous tragedy must have been repeated again. However. The number of all those cases was what Jinhyuk had also expected. After the battle, Jinhyeok wandered around the forest, trying to figure out how to protect it. I have prepared a little below. Look. Jinhyuk smiled brightly and snapped his fingers. damn it! Then at that very moment. [[8-star barrier ''Great military bird''] It works!] [3-star barrier ''Dimensional Break'' is activated!] [The three-star barrier ''Kimun Gate'' is unfolding!] A huge magic circle was drawn along the ground with a blue status window. A huge barrier that encompasses the entire forest. It took three weeks for Grand Duke to take effect. "Whether it''s Chinese food or Moorim, you can never get over this place." Even if Namgungcheon came directly to this place, it would not be difficult. Because I''ll definitely protect what''s mine. The ''Cathedral of Hatred'' on the 3rd floor of the Tower of Trials. Currently, more than 30 demons were gathering here and having a serious conversation. Damn it. How the hell did this happen? All of a sudden the 11th floor is open. Unknown... it must be because of that damn bastard. Truly, the moving peoples only sprinkle red pepper powder on our work. It''s unexpected, but we have to come up with a solution somehow. Complaining won''t solve it. Shut up! Do you know who is doing this because they don''t know? Are you doing this because there is no answer? Because there is no answer! I can''t lose the relics like this. If we continue to disappoint him, we will all die horribly! Yes. The reason everyone is getting excited is that as the 11th floor is opened, you can get the relics hidden on the 11th floor. The problem is that only Unknown who has eliminated the boss monster on the 10th floor and players who have obtained his permission can enter there. ''My head hurts.'' A ranker who is one of the top executives of the Mine Association and is responsible for a corner of the round table. Hossenveld, who has the nickname of Lancelot, wrinkled his eyebrows and fell in thought. ''Now, it would be impossible to convince Unknown to come.'' However, it took too long to go from the 7th to the 9th floor step by step. ''It''s unreasonable even if the most troublesome boss on the 10th floor has fallen.'' Relics on the 11th floor only appear for exactly one week after the floor is opened, after which they have the trait of moving to a higher floor. There is no time. There is also no sharp way. ''How can things be so twisted?'' But it was then that Hossenveld sighed. Pants... . At the entrance of the cathedral, a foreign mana was felt. It is a mana with a deep sense of incongruity. None of the demons here could feel it, but only Lancelot could sense the faint mana. ''This no way?'' Hossenveld''s eyes narrowed. something is coming It''s also very fast. CH 128 . Koinmul Corporation Shareholders'' Meeting (1) Ahhh... Damn it. You''re so sleepy. At the entrance of the cathedral, the demons standing on the border gave a long yawn. it will be boring Since this place is notorious for having so many traps, there was no entry for players. Above all, as the upper floors of the tower were opened one after another, large guilds were concentrating their efforts on exploring the unidentified dungeons and labyrinths on the 4th or 5th floor. By the way. Pants... . A red spark erupted in the darkness. someone has come Even without making a sound. Normally, it was necessary to pay attention to the fact that many of the traps had been breached without any noise. However, the guards, who had been spending a boring day for a few weeks, overlooked that fact. Hey. A guest has come after a long time. Come out right now. If you hide mana clumsily, you can find everything! Sreung! Chunkyung! The demons immediately drew their weapons. The sharp sword pointed forward. Fufu. They are faithful soldiers. You must be an idiot. I didn''t know the subject and exposed my teeth. A woman and a man with long silver hair and red eyes. They were two people who looked so beautiful that it took their breath away, but the aura they exuded was so cold that they gave their whole body goosebumps. The man''s eyebrows curled backwards. Aiming the sword at them seemed to be quite offensive. Skip the conversation? There is no need to explain to the things below. The rapier around his waist was pulled out along with the cold words. A dark red energy rose from the sword with a unique pattern engraved on it. Well. If you kill enough, the person in charge will come out. The woman shrugged her shoulders, but did not dry them. What the fuck are these bastards talking about now? Can''t you see the difference in these numbers? I''ll cut off one arm right now, and then lock you in a cage like a pig! Don''t kill me by mistake. I''m sure I''ll see these two guys squealing for their life. Twenty demons spit out swear words and ran towards them. however. None of the trajectories that cut through the air reached the silver-haired man. Rather, a thin line of blood spurted out of the flash of sword light that flashed one beat later. Whoops! Whoops! Whoops! All I could hear was a terrifying shattering sound. The simple act of ''sticking'' created a hole the size of a child''s fist in the hearts of demons. Every single one without exception. Off... uh... Oh... Cool! He couldn''t even see, let alone react. It was such a quick and accurate attack. Twenty demons collapsed in place one by one. The man licked the blood on the sword with the tip of his tongue. He gently closed his eyes as if savoring the scent and taste. But soon, his expression turned grim. ! Like a vulgar human, blood is cheap. Even these guys are better than cattle, but it''s really hard to find humans with really tasty blood? The two raised their voices as if they were at a cooking fair. It was then that another voice intervened. An example like this... slurp... . I''m sorry for having to serve you a humble meal. Hossenveld appeared in the shimmering shadow. Hey. Before the shadows...? It''s quite useful. It looks like you''re in charge of this place. His red pupils trembled as if he was a little startled. This is because there were very few people who used this transfer skill without a presence. Well, you can say that''s it. But, what are the nobles of the night doing to such a low place? I believe it''s not just the two of you trying to start a fight with us... Hossenveld grinned. Even though he knew that his opponent was one of the strongest races in the tower, he didn''t seem nervous at all. It means you can afford it. However, despite their arrogant appearance, the vampires did not show any discomfort in Hossenveld''s attitude. Rather, he seemed to like his relaxed attitude, so he scattered the life he had raised. A completely different approach than before. Well, in a way, it makes sense. Because the two blood relatives here wanted a capable hunting dog, not a pet dog who could not understand the subject. I accept that there is no intention to fight. Hossenveld also reaped the mana he had secretly accumulated. The tense atmosphere slowly subsided. Then the blood relatives opened their mouths. We are the descendants of the Decassus family that serves Amulam. The reason we came down here is because the prisoner who was trapped in the ruins on the first floor escaped. Mention your purpose for coming here. And. ...At first glance, they heard that they were collecting relics. To be precise, the relics on the 11th floor. Oh. Don''t be too vigilant. Because I''m not interested in things like your denomination''s relics. Rather, I''m here to offer you what you want if you help us. The two clans promised a price worthy of it. A strange smile appeared on Hoshenveld''s lips. ...that''s a funny thing to say. 90 days have passed since the 6th floor was opened, and finally the 7th floor was opened. And about a week had passed since then. [[The general meeting of shareholders of Goin-Mul Corporation is scheduled to be held, so all eligible employees will be notified by 14:00 on the 1st floor of the Tower of Trials ''Lake of the Moon''] ''Turtle Rock'' in the back Please gather below.] [If you pretend you didn''t see it, I''ll visit you in person, and if you dare to read it... I do not know. You will have to be careful on the road at night from today. Whoops.] A polite and polite guide message was sent. The subjects are those who have been enslaved with the ''Stigma of Soul Soul'' or are greatly helped by Jinhyeok. So after 6 hours. At last, the announced 2:00 p.m. was approaching. Several men and women began to gather one by one on the Turtle Rock behind the Moon Lake. Jinhyuk, who had come first and was waiting, spread his hands wide and shadowed. Everyone, you''ve come on time. Thank you. Thanks to you, I''ve saved you the trouble of visiting each one! If I was late for even one second, I was going to give him a punishment worthy of it. Unfortunately, everyone strictly kept their time commitments. I''m really sorry. I thought about the harsh punishments that made me want to die, but I couldn''t use them. What kind of slaves are there so many? What the hell have you been doing... Melena, who was at the front, sighed. She was also one of the infamous demons, but she couldn''t help but feel sympathy for the fact that so many players suffered from Jinhyuk. He looked around with sullen eyes. everyone. It was very diverse. Ah. You probably don''t know each other well. We''ll take the time to introduce ourselves briefly, so let''s get to know each other for a while. Jinhyuk opened the status window in front of him. Profiles of shareholders belonging to Goin Corporation appeared in the air one by one. Park Hana, an early temple, gave up climbing the tower after the downfall of the Black Crow Guild, so it is out of the question. Ho Tae-shik, a junior employee of the Awakening Association, who helped deceive the results of the awakening test, was the second slave No, it''s shareholder #2. Okay, thank you. My name is Tae-shik Ho from the Personnel Department of the Awakened Association. Ho Tae-shik shook his head with a bewildered face. next A pair of men and women next to him. Min Jung-woo and Lee Yu-ri, who had been in a relationship since the National Museum of Korea, did not leave a stigma, but agreed to cooperate voluntarily. He was sweating with a hard face, but he didn''t threaten him. As far as they want Because I really wanted to come here. ''Oh yeah They are grateful people.'' In these bleak times like today, they were hard-to-find talents. Since we have grown steadily over the years, there will be some use for it in a suitable place. Whoa. What''s his big brother''s map? You''ve got it very firmly. I spent the whole night making Tutankhamun''s mask and chess pieces. Can you please stop and let us go? The two added one word at a time. Of course. According to our company policy, you can leave if you want. I, really? I want to leave! I want to leave! Let me leave, please...! Well. If you say it so earnestly It''s possible with a small amount of consolation money in case of death. How can we handle it now? Jinhyuk took out a newly acquired fang from the subspace inventory. A dagger, whose sword body was dyed green, was revealed. Heh heh. No. Re-employment is difficult these days, but if you extend the retirement age, you should be grateful. ...Me and me. I will work hard with love! Thank you. If there are no longer anyone wishing to retire, I would like to continue the introduction. If you have anything you would like to say, please do not feel burdened and feel free to say it now. Don''t procrastinate because you''re busy. If you have any complaints, please tell me. " " " " Naturally, no one raised their hands. great. The third shareholder is this friend. He is currently the master of the Black Crow Guild. My name is Hee-Woong Kim. Thanks to the CEO, I am able to be here undeservedly. Please take care of me! I genuinely wanted to follow Jinhyuk, so I was quite pleased with this position as Heewoong Kim. This is because I felt a sense of bond as a colleague that I could work with in the future. However, as the fourth shareholder''s introduction continued... . The faces of the people ahead of them hardened. I had to harden it. "Then, the fourth is Melena-san, who is active in the Mine Association." Mine Association. A name that could be said to be the enemy of mankind has emerged. "Is it the Human Association?" You mean that woman is a member of it? "Daddy, sir?" It was only natural that everyone was nervous. However, Melena, who was the real party, only shrugged as if she had expected such a reaction. I think it''s my turn this time. My name is Takeshi, who belongs to the Japanese... Samurai Guild. Jinhyuk and... Fuu. I''m sorry. I consider it an infinite honor to be with Ji and Jinhyuk. Takeshi, who knew Jinhyuk as one of the divinities, was equally happy with this place. His voice trembled thinly, probably from emotion just looking at it. I must have slapped him too hard in the Gray Temple. Later, if I said that I was an ordinary human being, I might be sincere, but what about that friend? ''Am I too harsh?'' Jinhyuk gave a slightly apologetic expression. Of course, it was only for a short time. ''I can buy you a drink or something later.'' Yes. In the original world, I drink a glass of bitter soju and forget about it. Everyone is living a hard life, shouldn''t it be broken if we get a little frustrated? Now, let me introduce the fifth and final shareholder. Please briefly introduce yourself. At Jinhyuk''s words, the short-haired girl opened her mouth. Nice to meet you. My name is Andria, who is in charge of the 5th floor. I feel uncomfortable with the introduction. Melena, who had been pondering the words slowly, immediately asked. You''re in charge of the 5th floor. What do you mean by that? what do you mean It''s one of the boss monsters on the 5th floor. You must have been busy managing the psychiatric ward, but it made it difficult to come a long way. Jinhyuk added an additional explanation about Andria. It was a casual tone, but the reaction to it was so intense that it was about to explode. Huh... heh heh heh! Bo, why is the boss monster here! No, that''s absurd. This time, everyone bounced off like a spring, widening the distance. Some even gasped while holding their arms. Somehow, I thought something was strange about mana... Ah. I''m dizzy. Grandpa Jung-woo! That''s why I told you not to come! Heh heh. I''m sorry. I never thought something like this would happen. Until the word Mine Association came out, it was surprising, but within the allowable range. Since Jinhyuk is a dead person who is not sane, he did it for a while. However. It''s a boss monster. Isn''t this a completely different word? There were slight differences of opinion, but one thought was common. What in the world are all these companies? Called. It seems that the brief introduction is over with this. Jinhyuk paired up and touched his palms. There are outside directors Ellis and Sweet Potato, Cheon Yu-seong, Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, but let''s omit them here. Because we had to start the long-awaited shareholders'' meeting from now on. CH 129 . Koinmul Corporation Shareholders'' Meeting (2) Even though I spoke out loud, the content of the general meeting of shareholders is simple. Information that I have known while in the tower. All you have to do is report to me the trends of each place you belong to. Anyway, the people here were forced to obey through oaths of allegiance or the ''stigma of the soul''. The interview was intended to be conducted individually. This is because building up a wall of information between each other served as an advantage in the future. ''More than anything else, if you share too much information with each other, you can think useless.'' If your stomach and back are plucked, you will think differently. What about the company''s welfare? What about the salaries of the employees next to you? Etc. There was a danger that very bad and nasty backstory would come and go. To prevent all of that, you have to isolate each one thoroughly. you are the most talented If you make me believe that I am the most useful among you, And if you can make them jealous and jealous... . Only then will we be able to create a completely controlled informal society. ''Fufu. After sucking the sweet water and brewing it 13 more times, you should hand over the bones as sweet potato snacks.'' I was planning to roll very thoroughly as long as I could breathe. Just like King Sejong the Great eats Hwang Heejeongseung. Jinhyuk went under the rock and made a suitable spot. Two large stones to use instead of a chair. Two cups of tea brewed from the grass around them. This is enough. Cancer, this is a luxurious hospitality that would not envy Ohsung Electronics'' general shareholders'' meeting. [The 2-star barrier ''Dimensional Break'' is activated!] An isolated world unfolded by blocking sight as well as sound. After a while, Ho Tae-shik, the first batter, came in. He looks very nervous as if he was coming to an interview. I''m not interested in gossip, so just tell me the big things. What''s happened in the Awakened Association? Oh, not long ago, President Han Sang-jin''s birthday was. birthday? Jinhyuk''s forehead wrinkled slightly. What do you mean it''s his birthday? What, do you want me to cool you down with some birthday bread? Are you done? Oh, no. That''s right! This is useful information that came out recently... In fact, house prices in the Seocho area in Gangnam are expected to rise sharply due to the appearance of the Tower of Trials this time. Real estate demand is explosive due to players from all over the country. Because, if you want, in advance the area where the reconstruction will be completed... hehe. hello. This is getting more and more difficult. Now that you''re doing it, a public official is releasing insider information telling you to do real estate Dou Qi? Get a cool tax audit soon. Does this mean? Ummm. There is not much quality information. It seems that our assistant, Tae-shik. You may have to leave the company soon. The company is in turmoil these days. Unnecessary staff will be drastically reduced. Then the tone of Ho Tae-sik''s voice changed all at once. Come on, wait! The 7th floor! Seventh floor? "Yes Yes! This time, Eunseok Jang, who leads the Dangun Guild 2nd raid, is attacking the 7th floor, but he said that progress is slow because of the strong cold. What is that? They say that if you get a feather, you can resist the cold. If it''s a feather... no way? Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. hoo. Now, some useful information has popped up. ''I''m thinking of getting a phoenix feather to prepare for the cold on the 7th floor.'' If it is a feather that raises the body temperature due to the Blessing of flames, the raid will be able to fight smoothly even in the coldest weather. The Dangun Guild was aiming for that and headed to the northern end of the 7th floor. ''Like the guild that is said to be the strongest in Korea, it seems that there is some information about the 7th floor attack.'' Besides, if it''s Jang Eun-seok... I''ve seen it once. A player who was discussing with the announcer about the 4th floor. ''It''s the guy who surprised me by suddenly triggering a zombie wave.'' Among the many rankers, the fact that he was chosen as the engineering captain . ''Yeah, was that what you were aiming for.'' This is going to be fun There is no resentment against Dangun, but it would be polite to raise a spoon when the table is set like this. Jinhyuk traces his memories of the 7th floor, and how to get the current level of the Dangun Guild and the Phoenix Feather. And even drawing them all on one drawing paper. I really started to come up with a scenario that took into account all the variables. Next was Takeshi. It''s nice to see this guy after a long time... . Oh oh ...! It is an infinite honor to have the noblest being in the tower summon such a humble human...! Damn, undoing what I just said. Hey, it would be nice if you could shut your mouth a little. It''s so unfamiliar and I feel like I''m going to die, so please stop saying strange rhetoric. Keep, Khuh Hm! Sorry. Okay. You must have saved what I asked for in the temple, right? Of course. How dare I make a mistake at someone''s request? Takeshi carefully activated the subspace inventory. It was a sword with a strange aura that appeared along with the brilliant mist. The appearance of the blades on both sides dyed white. The iron sword kept the ages, but even its sharpness did not fade. yea that''s the way it is This sword, called 셲년 (셲년), was one of the most sacred relics in Japan. ''I have a twin dragon sword and fangs, so I won''t use them... .'' It will do its job well by exchanging it for other items of similar grade. Still, there was one thing I wanted to have at this point. One item that cannot be obtained by ordinary means. Thank you. Let''s use it well. This is sincere. If I had really taken Takeshi''s life in the temple, I would have regretted it forever. great. Now next... . Jin-hyeok, who had let Takeshi out, called Min Jung-woo and Lee Yu-ri, who were waiting outside. The two handed over some useful information along with the small talk they had in the meantime. After that, Kim Hee-woong made a regular report on the operation of the Black Crow Guild. Andria also had a conversation about the 5th floor ''psychiatric ward''. "The Colosseum and the mines were eventually breached, but we are still alive. Thanks to that, players are reluctant to enter the psychiatric ward." That''s good. Like a boss monster, Andria was in a state of being strong enough to be incomparable to before. The fact that Elise gave me some advice like this must have played a big part too. If you continue to defend your territory in this way and build up your power, you will be able to influence it to a much higher floor, not just the 5th floor. ''It''s still a long way from the level I want.'' Yes. Instead of being embarrassed on the single-digit floor, you have to become a being that is not pushed even in the upper floors of the tower. Because that''s why I entrusted the 5th floor to Andria. Thank you for coming all the way. Well then, see you later. No. Let me live a second life. You are the Primary God Jinhyuk, and you can come whenever you call. Andria politely bowed her head. Oh yeah I wish someone living in a rented room in the ring could see this. It''s a boss level in the same tower, but how is it so different no matter how different? [what! You cursed me for something!] Braham''s ring vibrated at a terrific time. Jinhyuk pretended not to hear and shoved the ring hand into his pocket. Does this guy even write a method of interest? What happened is getting worse and worse. A few minutes later, the last batter, Melena, came in. " " A face that was stiff and tense. Jinhyuk was more fearful than any other object to Melena after being brutally beaten on the 3rd floor. Besides, it was even stamped with the ''Stigma of Soul Soul'', so I couldn''t help but move at all. Haha. Don''t be too nervous. Sit comfortably. There''s tea there, so have some. It smells bitter, but it''s edible. It looks like there''s a little bit of poison, though. thanks. Melena sat down cautiously. When I first came here, I thought my painful memories had recovered to some extent. The moment he met Jinhyuk in front of his eyes, his whole body trembled like a mouse standing in front of a snake. Trauma, once experienced, is not easily healed. When the hierarchical relationship was clearly established, Jinhyeok brought up the main topic. Aren''t there any special moves on the side of the Magicians recently? For the past few months, I''ve been busy taking care of Chinese food and Moorim. It was because his nerves were sharp as they were sharp after the battle in the Elf Village. I''ve got to tell you one thing though. Actually, the guys at the top of the tower came to see us. ...if it''s at the top of the tower? I don''t know. Exactly how many floors. But, they were vampires with silver hair and red eyes. Really... they were strong enough to make you goosebumps. silver hair. red eyes. vampire. When three keywords were placed in one sentence, an earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk''s pupils. This was bound to be surprising. Because they meant only one thing. Burr! Elise, who was in her pocket, reacted violently to the extent that it could not be compared with before. ''I understand, but hold on for a moment.'' You have to be calm here. Haven''t heard all of the information yet. It''s a duo consisting of a man and a woman. They say they are blood relatives belonging to the Decassus family. If it''s Decasus... . Jinhyuk''s expression hardened even more. Keep talking. He rushed to our church and made an offer. If we help them, we''ll hand over the artifact we''re looking for or something. The ''renegade''s bracelet'' on the 11th floor... Yeah. That''s right. Our higher-ups always want to get the bracelet. Then, what do the blood relatives want? Jinhyuk asked the most important thing. OK. They said that the criminal of the clan who had been locked up in the ruins escaped. They said they needed help from the demons to catch him. His name is obviously El...Less. No, was it Elise? It was roughly that name? A familiar name came out of Melena''s mouth. is it. As expected to some extent, if the reason for the blood relatives on the upper floors of the tower to come down here, it must be Elise. ''I''ve heard really bad information.'' This is the most important piece of information I have heard today. It was a wise choice to hold a general meeting of shareholders to hear stories about various powers. The Phoenix Feather on the 7th floor and the renegade''s bracelet on the 11th floor. Finally, even the blood relatives belonging to the Decasus. The future schedule has just been decided. Can I ask you one thing before we go? Melena stood up from her seat and stopped. Ask for anything. I personally prefer a proactive employee. "If it''s a general meeting of shareholders are we saying that we also have rights to the company? If the company grows, it pays dividends, and if it goes in a strange way or exploits, it is said that shareholders gather together and raise their voices." Melena opened her mouth carefully. Yes. A shareholder is the owner of the company. In other words, it is a position that can put pressure on management. That''s right. Everyone here is a proud member of the company. You are free to assert your rights and speak up for your welfare. Jinhyuk did not deny it. However. "Because our company is far from the law." It''s good to have complaints. But, it would be better to just keep that thought in your mind. Even if it pretends to show the molars in the mouth, it will immediately take a bite and press it down. That was the founding philosophy of Goin-Mul Corporation and the policy to move forward. CH 130 . 7th floor, cold land tundra (1) There are no boss monsters on the 7th floor, and if you start from the starting point and go all the way to the end, the 8th floor is open. Simply put, it means that if you complete it, the clear will be recognized. Of course, it sounds very simple, but because the environment itself is so poor, a lot of time and sacrifice was required to attack. and right now. The ''Dangun Guild'', which has been tied up for several days in front of a sea full of icebergs... . The atmosphere was quite serious. Damn it. You mean the eastern sea is also blocked? that spit out swear words. The ranker of the Dangun Guild was Jang Eun-seok. Jang Eun-seok was a top ranker who had already proven his worth several times, but he had to suffer because of the difficulties he was facing now. Yeah. It''s probably going to be tough. Uh-huh. Please report the current situation first. We''ll have to check how much the situation is like that. At Jang Eun-seok''s words, a middle-aged man with a serious face opened a piece of paper on the table. It was a magic scroll that recorded the current situation of the Dangun Guild in real time. The player''s health status. food and supplies, etc. Relevant information is listed in a row. The wind is so strong and it''s humid, so it''s not easy to start a fire. The flame players are squeezing mana somehow... It''s only a temporary measure. Because the mana that each individual possessed was limited. "The supply of food is also not smooth." A woman with long straight hair also added a word. On the 7th floor, other than combat-related items such as weapons and armor, supplies brought from outside the floor or tower cannot be used. Because of this, everything had to be self-sufficient here. In addition to the cold, other necessities should be considered as part of the raid. Movement is limited due to the statue. A cold is the norm. If this continues, there may even be deaths. Suspected hypothermia patients continue to come out. Bad news followed. It was an attack squad composed mainly of those who had cleared the 7th floor in their own way. However, with the past in the game where he had grown enough and attacked as usual. in a situation that has not yet grown. The gap with the current situation, which aims to clear the first through a shortcut, was too large. Much more than I thought. kwaang! Jang Eun-seok slammed the table hard. The snow piled up on the table was scattered all over the place. So... Everyone just pours out their complaints and what are you going to do? Are you saying that we should just admit our failure and go back? Angry voice. Jang Eun-seok looked around with a cold gaze. Those who met their eyes flinched. Even the Tower of Trials has already been attacked to the 6th floor. In fact, the Dangun Guild did not succeed in a single attack during the first six opportunities. At the very least, was it just that a spoon was added to the attack of other guilds? It was too shabby for the title of the best and one of the 7 major guilds in Korea. By the way, even within the guild, voices are getting louder saying that midnight is necessary, giving up! Furthermore, isn''t the ''Phoenix Feather'', which can be said to be the key to attacking the 7th floor, just beyond the sea? Since there was only one step left to reach the goal, Jang Eun-seok was planning to proceed with the raid by any means. But, there is no way to cross the sea. As you know, trees on the side of the forest cannot be felled. But if you cross with your bare body, the water temperature will be second to none, and the seawater living in the sea will eat you. The raid staff gave an objective assessment. Of course, it wasn''t Jang Eun-seok who would eat it, So. Didn''t you tell me to find a way? Yes? Didn''t you hear it? Everyone was eating high salaries and getting incentives, and asked if they couldn''t find a solution. Oh, that''s too harsh... Kuh-hum! Hold on, man. When a female player tried to complain, a middle-aged man quickly intervened. We will find a way according to the commander of the engineering department. However, depending on the situation, please consider the possibility of giving up the initial attack and entering into a long-term battle. ...for now, just focus on finding a way. If you fail, stop thinking about making a plan B. The story ended there. Everyone got up from their seats and was about to leave for their respective roles. But just then. Hey, chief of engineering! I think you should come out and see! In the distance, I heard someone urgently looking for Jang Eun-seok. At the same time, a very familiar player approached the raid''s camp. ''It''s not really cold here.'' Jinhyuk looked at the frozen tundra and whistled a little. What is this, the wind is a total breeze. Even though I covered my body with mana layer by layer, it was hard to bear. ''Of course, low level players will feel that every minute and every second is in hell.'' It''s not for nothing that boss monsters don''t exist on this floor. Even if there was nothing like that, the entire floor was already the strongest obstacle that threatened survival. ''Still, like a high-ranking guild, we have an assortment of things.'' Some players were quite high level. The raid was also well balanced. While Jinhyuk looked around the camp of the Dangun Guild. Eun-seok Jang and several players came to the place where Jin-hyuk was standing. Hello . What did player Jinhyuk Kang come here for? The greeting was lightly ignored. Jang Eun-seok asked why. It''s a question that raises boundaries. It''s nothing else. I''ve been here once because I''m having a hard time conquering the 7th floor. It looks like it''s really worth struggling. It''s cold. Thank you, but we don''t need any help. We can attack on our own. Jang Eun-seok drew a line with a single knife. To put it bluntly, that''s it. If it wasn''t for Jinhyuk, I would have yelled at him to turn it off at once. However, Jinhyuk blinked his eyes with an innocent face. Yes? You never said you would help? "What ?" I''m also interested in the Phoenix Feather item. Well, that''s it. Think about it in a common sense. What madman would come all the way to this cold place to help someone else? If I had been such an adult, I would have been at UNICEF, not the Tower of Trials. When he revealed his true intentions, Jang Eun-seok''s face hardened. "Do you mean that you want to invade the territory we have monopolized?" It''s interesting. It''s been how long since the 7th floor has been open that you''ve already used the word monopoly. Who would think that everything in the world belongs to the Dangun Guild? After speaking, Jinhyuk suddenly pointed to the sky. Wow! There''s a bird from the Dangun Guild flying over there. Now, if Demon God Oxygen is from the Dangun Guild, you should apologize, right? This is a taunt. "It would be fair competition." A tense nerve battle ensued. However, Jang Eun-seok couldn''t go any harder than this. Because it was Jinhyuk, not someone else. ...Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu good In the end, Jang Eun-seok took a step back. Does that mean it''s okay to be with the Dangun Guild''s raid? As long as you don''t disturb us, we can give you a seat. However, if you break this rule, you have to leave this place. great. I got permission from the commander-in-chief for this. Now is the time to move with peace of mind. Then, please take care of me for a few days. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. Jinhyuk came out and moved quickly. The place I went to was on the opposite side of the sea. It was a forest full of conifers. ''There are people who keep them, too.'' I saw five players gathered at the beginning of the forest. In fact, it''s a sentinel where horses control entry and exit. In Jinhyuk''s eyes, they were just hares, shivering from the cold and exhausted from hunger. As I got closer, the other side noticed Jinhyuk''s presence. The big man hurriedly opened his mouth. This is the entrance... However, the man''s words could not be finished. The moment I saw the other person''s face, my eyes grew as big as a firecracker. Uh, huh? Kang Jinhyuk player? Gee, is it true? No, what''s going on here... Everyone shouted in surprise. Perhaps it is because I did not know that I would meet the person who is the center of the topic in a place like this. I have some business to do in the forest. Of course, I also got permission from Chief Engineer Jang Eun-seok. I told him not to disturb me, but I didn''t tell him not to go anywhere. This is why Korean has to be spoken accurately. By the way. When I said that I was going to go into the forest, there was a surprisingly big reaction. Oh, no! As far as this forest... That''s right. It''s too dangerous here. We''re not controlling access here for nothing. If it''s food, it''d be better to get it from the seaside. I''m seriously thinking about this, player Kang. Please don''t take it lightly. warble. cold eyes. They are faces filled with fear to the core. Considering belonging to Dangun, which is one of the seven guilds, this reaction is excessive. ''Coming up to the 6th floor, he must have accumulated his own experience, but he''s scared to this extent.'' Jinhyuk smiled bitterly. Well, I do understand. The guys in the woods were so annoying that even A-class players were fed up. However, the best way to get Phoenix Feather is to go into the woods. And there were also a few absurd points that I had to get into to resolve. Don''t worry. Alone is enough. Jinhyuk shrugged. And immediately, they moved into the forest. The snow had piled up to his thighs, but Jinhyuk lightly stepped on the snow and walked. It is a step that hardly feels any weight. Normally, it was impossible for a person to walk on snow, but . However, for Jinhyuk, who had reached a certain level in ''Sword Demon King'', this was easier than breathing. sabak. like that. Jinhyuk completely disappeared into the forest. "Ah, I can''t " Damn it. How do you do this? I have to report it first. We can''t stop the rankers with our skills. The above will understand. What the hell are you thinking. Even if you''re an S-class in that forest, it must be difficult alone... It''s probably because I haven''t experienced it myself. Especially if it''s an S-class, I can''t help but overflow with confidence. A worried light flashed in everyone''s eyes. I had no choice but to do so. Since I came here, I''ve already had food and firewood in that forest several times. And I sent a detachment to save the wood to build the ship, but... . No one returned alive. Either A or B. no matter how many numbers The result was the same. Because I became the Hamheung Chasa of the people who entered. In the end, Eun-seok Jang banned access to the forest itself. He was looking for another way to cross the sea. By the way. I guess I''ll just go into that forest at this time. If he had had a little more power, he would have stopped him somehow. Of course, it doesn''t mean anything now. ''Please, you should be safe... .'' That was when I was thinking about it. A loud noise was heard from the side. What are you doing now! What the hell are you going to do if you let them in! Eun-seok Jang, hearing the report of the tall man, shouted. Judging from the fact that his face has turned red, he must have been very hot. That, that... Follow me now. Yes? "Player Jinhyuk Kang said he came here to get feathers a while ago. In other words, it means that there is a way to cross the sea in that forest." I don''t even know what it is But one thing is certain. The solution is right there. so. Catch them right now. We will form a team and join them soon. Jang Eun-seok unilaterally cut off communication after only saying something. There are only five players left. Dry saliva ran down everyone''s throat. come in? inside me? Whew! There was a heavy snowstorm in the forest. All of a sudden, the footprints on the snow that Jinhyuk walked on were almost completely erased. If you want to go, you have to catch up right now. How long have you been in the forest? Ugh... . Jinhyuk''s eyes as he was examining the huge rock flickered. ''I''m sorry, but this is why things turned out like this.'' Now I understand why the Dangun Guild couldn''t keep up. So it must have been Jinhyuk''s gaze turned to the top of the rock. Then it appeared. CH 131 . 7th floor, cold land tundra (2) A red mark carved into the rock. It was the mark left by the ''Ice Troll'' tribe in the snowy field. ''After all, it was these guys.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. Originally, the ice trolls had to be located on the 7th floor west of ''Baeksan'', not here. However, those guys have expanded their territory. right here. ''It''s not just because the number of individuals has increased.'' Jinhyuk''s gaze once again turned to the sign. I saw an ice troll''s unique mask painted on it. Yes. So far it doesn''t really matter. Because it was a common type of troll tribe in the tower. The problem is the shape of the marker. There are three red lines on the top of the mask. In other words. ''This is a pattern used only when the greatest warrior from the tribe comes out.'' This is the so-called birth of a named class. If the Dangun Guild was defeated, a fairly strong warrior must have appeared. Maybe a lot stronger than you can imagine. That was then. flinch. Something caught Jinhyuk''s senses. It will still take some more time to get here, but sooner or later we will see it. Not trolls. When looking at the amount of mana, its approaching direction, and its number. There was a high probability that they were the players guarding the entrance a while ago. And as if to prove that expectation. After a while, through the snow, five men and women approached. Ugh. I can feel the sensations in my limbs... uh! Chi, I found it! "Kang player Jinhyuk!" Huh. I really thought I was going to die. I''m glad. We met so quickly. Seeing his face turned blue and trembling, it seemed like he had a hard time getting here. After all, at this temperature, simply standing still will cause your stamina to drop rapidly. I can only guess why these people came here... . Jinhyuk pretended not to know and shivered. You said you can''t go into the forest, so what''s going on here? "Haha. That''s we didn''t want to come either, but we can''t send you here alone, player Jinhyuk Kang. "I think we need at least some directions." I don''t know who''s going to guide whom. ''Even if I drink 3 bottles of soju, I think I found a better way.'' Still, it came at a not bad timing. Because these people came, it meant that the Dangun Guild''s main raid would also head into the forest. "At the end of the day, I have a story to tell, but before that, everyone should warm up a little." Seeing his consciousness flicker due to hypothermia, he looks worse than he thought. I don''t know if I''ll have to film Frozen with the ice dolls. Jinhyuk activated ''Element of Fire''. Whoops! As a fireball the size of a soccer ball burned, the snow began to melt in an instant. A space was created for a few Grand Masters to rest in between the snowdrifts. great. This time ''Glacier'' order. Jinhyuk moved his hand lightly. Pants... . A thin layer of ice completely enveloped the players. An igloo-like appearance. Even if it wasn''t a cozy shelter, it would be a temporary shelter that could block strong winds. Oh my gosh... You''re going to make the magic link so smooth. Thank you. After all, it''s reassuring to have an S-class player. ...but it''s very warm. Exclamations flowed from everyone''s mouths. The temperature has risen by more than 10 degrees. Now, little by little, the blood has returned. Thank you. I took a breath thanks to player Jinhyuk Kang. My name is Daeho Kwak. He briefly introduced himself as Kwak Dae-ho. I was quite impressed with how sad I was in my early 30s. [Kwak Dae-ho, 33 years old.] [Trait: .] [skill: .] There is no need to enumerate the stat window. About B-grade, there was nothing I liked about the unique abilities or skills. Is it backwards compatibility with all the skills you already have? The other people were also arrogant. ''Nutrition values are soulless friends.'' Jinhyuk brought out the main topic with the ''eyes of gluttony''. Thank you. Please tell me how far away the Dangun Guild is now. Yeah, what does that mean... Kwak Dae-ho made a startled expression on his face and then blurred his tail. Anyway, I don''t know why all of these people''s acting skills are so low. An inspiration like Rick did well, but he hid his heart well. I have a rough idea of how things are going now. Didn''t I send you all the way here to prevent me from trying to get the Phoenix Feather first? Chief Engineer Jang Eun-seok must have forced you to do something you didn''t want to come. still. " " When Jeonggok was stabbed, Kwak Dae-ho kept his mouth shut. I''m not trying to tell you guys. Actually, it''s more troublesome than getting the feathers. Is it a headache? Yes. See that tree over there? Jinhyuk pointed his finger at the tree before. Everyone''s eyes moved along the fingers. The strange emblem is missing. It looks like some kind of African tribal mask... This is a mark used by the ice trolls. If you see a blade shape added to the top of the mask, it''s ''Frost Blade'' It must have been left by the trolls of the tribe. Oh, if it''s an ice troll... I''ve heard of it. A medium-sized monster known to be the most ferocious on the 7th floor. They mainly live in groups, and their intelligence is also on the high axis, making them very difficult to deal with. Needless to say, the individual''s fighting power was excellent. Dae-ho Kwak and the rest of the players didn''t know about the tribes or the markings, but they had heard of how tricky the trolls were. Are you saying this is their realm? Yeah. It looks like we''ve expanded our territory a bit. It''s probably thanks to a big victory in the fight with other races around us. At Jinhyuk''s words, a quiet female player interrupted. Well, then, shouldn''t we have to go back soon? As long as we control access and do not invade their territory, as we have done before, there will be no problem. That''s a reasonable suggestion. The reason the Dangun guild continued to die is because they set foot in this forest recklessly. In other words, if you don''t approach their lands, your life will not be in jeopardy. However. No. The problem is a little more complicated than that. Jinhyuk shook his head. Those who have enough intelligence to form a clan simply don''t stay quiet if they leave it alone. In fact, even in the Tower of Trials in the past, if this level of power was available, the monsters chose one of two things. Expansion of the area to go over the other floors of the tower. or. Turn your gaze and aim at the outside of the tower. One of the two events is about to happen. ''The phoenix feather is also one of the materials for opening the gate. In other words, what they''re looking for is the outside of the tower, not the 8th floor.'' A phenomenon called outbreak. In fact, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, the entire city almost turned into a sea of fire due to this phenomenon. Even though much weaker gnolls and goblins were protruding back then, the damage was too great to be quantified. How much less, isn''t this a much higher level Ice Troll? ''It may become difficult to estimate the number of deaths.'' USA, Europe, China, India, Africa, Korea, Japan. It''s unclear which side the Outbreak will come from. There wasn''t much time left either. The more Jinhyuk explained the current situation, the more the faces of the five became dark. He realized that the situation was not serious. Because it was a statement made by an S-class and no one else, I couldn''t help but believe it. But that was then. Shake! Jinhyuk''s senses caught on to something again. A completely different mana from a while ago. I could feel the footsteps passing lightly over the snow and steady breathing. As the rattling sound gradually increased, the players in the igloo noticed something approaching. It''s from our side... Shh! Jinhyuk quickly stopped him. Suddenly, a green dagger was held in his hand. It was the ''Pentagris Fang'' brought from the elf village. ...are you an enemy? Kwak Dae-ho swallowed dry saliva. Perhaps. An answer with a positive meaning. With those words, the air in the room changed drastically. He realized that a fight was imminent, and his heart began pumping blood throughout his body at a rapid rate. And at that very moment. Boo woo woo! A 2m-long spear flew in with the sound of the wind. KwaKwaKwabang! kwaaang! Windows half-pierced through the ice wall. It is a javelin (Ͷ). Even though it was temporary, it had enough power to pierce a wall made of ice sculptures. But no surprise. Another window hit the wall one after another. bang! kwaang! Cracks were streaked along the wall. It can''t last long like this. In the next few times, it was obvious that the windows would go crazy even to the players inside. Go outside and find cover first! If you stay here, you''ll be hit! Kwak Dae-ho quickly gave the order. damn! Hayoung drinks the potion and prepares to cast right away. If you find the enemy''s location, we''ll fight back right away! all right! fault! taat! The players who go out of the igloo and form a formation. Still, it was a quick judgment and response, as if the name belonged to the Dangun Guild. Whew! There was a heavy snowstorm. I could feel something moving through the trees, but my vision made it difficult to pinpoint the exact location. At least at the level of Kwak Dae-ho and the rest of the players. Damn it. Where the hell did you shoot it? I don''t know. I think it''s up the hill, but there are too many points to aim for. Whoa. It''s like a mouse completely in a poison. Hide your body behind a rock and stick your head out for a glance. hey hey... kwaang! The window flew up as if waiting. Colorful sparks bounced off the spear that had bounced off the rock. It was breathtaking. If I had gone out a little bit more, my head would have been ripped out in an instant. Keep! Those bastards. They''ve got a good grasp of our movements in this storm. This side does not know the position of the opponent, but the opponent clearly knows this side. It was understandable why none of the scouts that had gone before came back. How can they survive when they sniper with Mother Nature on their back? By the way. Someone casually walked out of the rock. It was Jinhyuk. Go, Jinhyuk Kang player! It''s dangerous! Kwak Dae-ho called out urgently, but it was already too late. Several windows flooded at the same time. Whoops. Jinhyuk tilted his head slightly to the left. A spear passed by 3 cm from the ball. Neither excessive nor hasty. It just moves about half a step apart. Whoops! Whoops! The stray spears stuck in the snow. Then another spear flew in, but the result was the same. Whoops! Whoops! Whoops! It didn''t block or hit with a sword, it just predicts its trajectory and avoids it. At the absurd spectacle, the jaws of the people watching were wide open. Such an acrobatic evasion in a place where there is no line of sight. I can''t even tell if I''m dreaming or not. Uh... Is this real? "Is this S-class? It''s crazy that''s true." In fact, some even pinched their thighs. Did you feel that no matter how many spears you throw, it''s no use? The window no longer flew. Besides, like a lie, the blizzard stopped. The wind is fading away. Little by little, my vision began to clear. Beyond the little hills covered with snow. I could see the ice trolls emitting blue eyes. So far, everything has been as expected. However. I, what the hell is that... What is that guy...? Loud breathing noises could be heard everywhere. Creepy! A cold chill spreads throughout the body. Cold sweat ran down the players'' backs. I had no choice but to do so. An unexpected existence appeared among the trolls facing them now. " you really don''t give me time to be bored." A smile filled with complicated emotions hung around Jinhyuk''s lips. To be honest, I was quite surprised this time. CH 132 . Hounds of the Decassus (1) Your guy must be a guy named Kang Jin-hyuk. You look pretty smooth. Besides, heh. What is this? That guy. Why does the blood smell so sweet? There was a contrast between the cold voice and the excited voice. Appearing among the Ice Trolls was a pair of men and women with dazzling white hair and red eyes. Needless to say, it was obvious who they were. Vampire''s bloodline. To be precise, the blood relatives of the Decasus family that Melena mentioned at the shareholders'' meeting a while ago must have been. Burr... ! Braham''s ring trembled violently. [Don''t dry it! Those children... ! Decass of Decasus! I''m going to go out and kill them all!] It''s sealed, so damn it. If it wasn''t for it, Elise would have run out right away. However, if Elise is exported from here, the variable becomes too large. If the seal was loose enough to be able to fight with blood relatives, mana consumption would increase out of control. ''Until I know how prepared they are, it''s better for me to deal directly with Elise than to let them go.'' If it''s a head-to-head match, it''s not a problem. However, if the battle is prolonged or even escape from the other side, it will be a pain in the ass. Mana should be saved as much as possible. Jinhyuk slowly looked up and down the two of them. ''Eye of Gluttony'' had relatively low mana consumption, but even that could not be used carelessly. In particular, the greater or stronger the level gap with the opponent, the higher the required mana value. However, since we have to understand the other person''s information, we have no choice but to use it at all. ''Which one do you want to see... .'' The relatively strong and the less powerful. Which side can be copied and which side is not. The worries didn''t last long. Jinhyuk chose the male side. ''Eye of Gluttony'' penetrated the status window. Name: Riorda Vertion Gender: Male Age: 1082 Level: 108 Strength 32 Dexterity 36 Stamina 33 mana 45 Dark Dou Qi 50 Stat Points you have: 0 Unique Ability: Blood Cancel skill: Lv16 ''Blood Spear'', Lv16 ''Blood Jade'', Lv15 ''Blood Shield'', Lv15 ''Memorize Teleport'', Lv15 ''Dark Dou Qi'', Lv14 ''mana Vampire'' [Copy condition: If you are a vampire, you must suck blood to taste! If you insert a straw around your opponent''s neck and consume more than 100mg of blood, you will be able to copy the opponent''s unique ability.] [If you speak 4 or more death flag lines and survive, you will be able to copy one of your opponent''s skills. However, lines are recognized only when they fit the situation, and each time you say each line, your unique ability or skill is sealed one by one. (Time limit: 96h:00m:00s)] Damn it. Jinhyuk, who was reading the status window, wrinkled his face. It was good to get some rough information, but the copying conditions got worse again. How did this happen that more and more things that are beyond your imagination are popping up? ''I''m not even a vampire. 100mg faster?'' Sometimes the elderly eat deer blood or something like that saying they want to get better, but that''s the story of people with a strong stomach. ''I am an ambassador. Above all, the ability to cancel blood through blood is not so desirable.'' Above all else, it is better to bite my tongue and die than to bite the nape of Namjeongnee''s neck. However . Another copy condition attracted me. There was one useful skill among the skills that Bertion had. A skill that is very helpful in melee and long-term battles. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. ''Four death flag lines... .'' It''s definitely not easy to spit out those lines while you''re in a corner and survive. Moreover, the condition that a unique ability or skill is randomly sealed every time you say one line is very annoying. However, I wanted to get ''that skill'' at all costs. That was when Jinhyuk was thinking about it. Why aren''t you answering me? Maybe it''s because you''re too scared to harden? Berthion opened his mouth again. Jinhyeok, who had lost his eyes for a while to check the copying conditions, thought that he had hardened due to fear. Oh, sorry, I was just checking something for a while. So what did you want to say? "I asked if your guy was Kang Jin-hyuk." Well. Would it work if I called it Cheonyuseong here? To be honest, selling him is the most convenient thing. Jinhyuk pondered for a moment, then shook his head. That guy should sell it in moderation. This may come one day on a dark night. that''s right. Jinhyuk shrugged. Then the corners of Berthion''s mouth went up. My name is ''Riorda Bertion''. I am a blood relative of the Decasus family. You humans often call us vampires, so this might be more familiar. Call me Ophelia. I belong to this blunt guy. The two briefly introduced themselves. Berthion and Ophelia. Both of them are much stronger than the Ataraxia clan that I met in the corridor. Everything from the level and stats each individual possesses to the mana that flows naturally from the body. The comparison itself was impossible. In the first place, Elise and her kinsmen had weakened due to being exiled for a long time, and the difference in power between the two families was probably a factor. They are the vampires of the Decasus... I''m not very surprised. This isn''t the first time I''ve met a vampire. in the ring. I''m raising a very vicious vampire. If normal vampires are mosquitoes, should I say Ellis is an Adidas mosquito with three-color stripes? He has a stinger that can pierce even jeans, so he is the TOP of the vampire world. As expected...! You were right that you were hiding a traitor who was exiled in the corridor! Don''t be fooled by what you think is correct. Having prepared this much would mean that you are confident rather than suspicious, where is ''My prediction was right.'' Are you dying with this kind of tone? ...what, what? Yes... you bastard! To whom do you dare now...! Berthion stuttered heavily. Is it because of being stabbed in the corner? Or is it just because I haven''t had a bite to eat so openly with a human? The only certainty is that his face, white as white jade, was burning red. Fufu. You''re a bold person. It''s sure to taste good. This time, Ophelia intervened. Perhaps even more interested than before, his red eyes twinkled. That look... . where did you see it It''s like, when I first met Ellis, I was threatening to say that blood was delicious. Damn, I don''t know how these vampires end up treating people like lunch boxes. How about? If you go with me, I will spare your life. Ophelia gently stretched out her hand. Long, slender fingers were in full bloom. Naturally, if you catch that, it''s a limited express train bound for Hell. Live with a dedicated blood pack. What does this mean? But wouldn''t that be better than dying? I will politely decline. Personally, I prefer to take things rather than give them. You''d regret it... Well. I received a similar offer last time, but it was the other party who regretted it, not me. The guy who made such a proposal lived in a 1,000-pyeong royal palace, but now he is living in a three-bedroom apartment with a size of 0.01 pyeong. Maybe? It''s a pity... Then I can''t. I''ve been wanting to eat it for a long time, but I have no choice but to end it with a single meal. Ophelia took a step back. The atmosphere began to subside little by little. There was a stillness like the eve of a storm. Now, if anyone moves, there will be a genocide. gulp! Ugh... shit. The faces of the players who waited while holding their breath turned black and rotted. I was so terrified that I couldn''t understand what was going on. The moment the conversation between the two ends. Everyone here instinctively felt it. that their lives will end in a while. ''I can''t live.'' ''It''s over.'' ''Rain, damn it. What kind of monsters are there... .'' The life of a blood relative with a whopping three-digit level was not something that B-class players who had just entered the 7th floor could endure. Die. sure to die Even if Jinhyeok in front of him is an S-class. I couldn''t even deal with those monsters. Because the pressure on his body was heavier than anything he had ever met. Jinhyuk watched as the ice trolls gradually narrowed the siege. Then he slowly opened his mouth. "Before we begin, may I ask you one thing?" Even if you die soon, you seem to be impatient with questions. Good. Ask me one last time. Is it your intention to hunt the players of the Dangun Guild sequentially in the forest? Are the patterns engraved on the rocks? I heard you know a lot about the tower. So I dug a trap. The better the guy, the more blindly he trusts the information he knows. Moreover, if the information is thought to be unknown to others, the effect is multiplied several times. I thought you would come into this forest to get the ''Phoenix Feather''. One of the surest ways to attack this floor is to get that feather. Berthion spoke calmly. But, right after coming to this land, you must have felt a strange sense of incongruity. Since the high-level players were wiped out without leaving a trace, you must have thought that something would happen. And to prove that hypothesis, you must have gone to the forest. If you find the trolls'' patterns, that hypothesis will be weighted, and you can make me more vigilant. That''s what it means. Jinhyuk got the backstory. That''s the story. To prove the hypothesis that the Outbreak will happen soon, you''ll invite other players to this place. Of course, the time we spend in the forest will also be longer. In the end, we''ve bought time to completely surround ourselves. Ah! And you''d better give up the hope that other humans would join. The demons were supposed to take care of that. Are there no gaps? It''s pretty good. I used a little bit of hair. I have to admit that the trap is neat. In addition to that, we formed three coalition teams that included not only the Mines, but also the Ice Trolls, so the members were also incredibly strong. No matter how strong a ranker is, if he is in a situation like this, he will have no choice but to panic or despair. But do you know that? Actually . I knew you would come in contact with me. He had already heard all the inside information through Melena. All about how the Decathus hounds descended down the tower and met Lancelot and traded behind the scenes. I didn''t know exactly where or when. It was expected that the time would soon be imminent. More than anything else, traps are meaningful only when the premise that they can kill the opponent is prepared. Hey, what do you mean? From thinking that you can defeat me just by being together with the dogs... it means it''s a mistake. at the end of that word. kukuku kuk kuk! Mana, who had been suppressed to the limit, was liberated. CH 133 . Hounds of the Decassus (2) A heterogeneous man who dominates the space. Hey, this? Ugh! An earthquake occurred in the pupils of the two blood families. Goosebumps arose all over my body with a completely different energy from before. Unbelievable . How could a human being have such power? ...were you hiding your skills? I can''t believe it. Just as Alice''s puppet. I thought he was a human being used as a stepping stone to get out of the corridor. That idea was completely wrong. Because this was by no means a level of mana that could be felt in the lower floors of the tower. Of course, no matter how hard people try, it won''t work for them, the nobility of the night. You must not be careless. That was the common thought of the two blood families. And while Berthion and Ophelia are perplexed. Jinhyuk opened his mouth to the players behind him. Player Kwak, get out of this place with your teammates right now. Yes? Kwak Dae-ho asked with a surprised face. "As you may have heard, the Dangun Guild is also under attack by demons." In the forest stained by blizzards and heavy snow. There is no chance that Jang Eun-seok paid close attention to even the attack of the demons. I must have been distracted by just looking ahead and running like crazy. In a nutshell, it means that you will be completely focused on the outside world. After leaving the forest, please request support from other guilds immediately. There is a high possibility that within the forest, the demons were playing a trick to prevent communication with the outside. Well, then, what is player Jinhyuk Kang going to do alone? "Are you saying that you are dealing with them all by yourself?" It''s a bunch! Rather... run away with us. If you attract attention with magic, you might be able to get to the outskirts somehow. Everyone refused and said no. Because the level was low, it seems that they did not even realize which side had the upper hand. ''Well, I''m already scared, so I can''t help but feel it anymore.'' Even vampires are still not running away because they don''t understand the situation properly, so can players with a much lower level make a proper judgment? Jinhyeok, who smiled bitterly, gripped the ''fangs'' tightly. At this point, it''s time to blow the first line slowly. I''m fine. After this fight, I promised to go back and have a drink with my friends. So go first. I''ll definitely follow. I spit out words that didn''t make sense to me. Even as he said it himself, it felt as if the energy of death was creeping up through his body. And at that very moment. [[Copy Condition ''Death Flag Line''] The first line of the song was counted.] [One of the unique abilities and skills is sealed at random.] [The unique ability ''Heaven Poison (ǧ)'' is sealed.] also . An ambassador promising the future is always one of the pronouns of death flags. The ability that was sealed while counting was ''Thousand Poison''. It''s a good thing that it''s a skill I don''t like to use. Now! Run! Jinhyuk shouted. Everyone, what are you doing! Didn''t you hear what player Jinhyuk Kang said? Run! Run! Ugh. Sin, I''m sorry. I''m begging you to come back. Dae-ho Kwak and the rest of the players started running along the way they came. At the same time. Who do you dare think you could escape from! It''s okay to look down on us. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Red drops of blood appeared around Berthion and Ophelia''s bodies. A sphere about 1 m in size rotated at high speed. The goal is, of course, five players running away with their backs turned. However. You should play with me. Why do you care about other guys? Just before the magic started, Jinhyuk intervened. The distance narrowed in an instant. A dagger with a green light crossed it horizontally. Kak kak kak! Berthion quickly spread his shield, but he couldn''t take the dagger that had Sword Qi on it. The shield shattered like a window. Fortunately, he quickly retreated back, so his hand didn''t cut off, but the dagger made a deep cut in Berthion''s palm. poop... . Red dots appeared on the pure white snow. Berthion''s face was distorted more harshly than ever. Did this scumbag dare put a knife on this noble body! Wow . How did you come to have the word ''noble'' in your mouth at the end of every word? Are you getting any infusion education at Vampire Kindergarten? At this point, I want to publish a thesis on the greatness of early education and ideological education. If you collect all vampires, including Elise, at the time of the announcement, wouldn''t this year''s Vampire Bell Literary Award be removed? completely. Indeed, what the old man said was true. He said he would be very annoyed because his mouth was alive. He almost forgot that he had to suck blood and almost killed him. It''s a sympathy. At Ophelia''s words, Berthion agreed. Seeing that provocation so sly, I almost forgot my purpose. The most important thing for the two clans is to find out where Ellis is. Theresa from the corridor and Cheon Yuseong, the most influential Dragon chair known as Unknown. And Jin-hyeok, who had contact with both of them, was on the cutting board. ''Theresa and Cheon Yu-seong did not feel the characteristic reverberation of a vampire.'' If you are with Ellis, there must be a trace of that characteristic. In the end, the last candidate was Jinhyuk. ''I said I''ve met a vampire myself, so I don''t really need any more evidence... .'' The problem is rather, where the hell did that person hide Alice? If Elise is outside the tower, things will get in trouble. so. exactly where it is. that information. We need to find out now. Remember, Ophelia. You must be captured. I know that. Sreung! Sreung! A pair of thin and long rapiers spit out a dazzling sword light. Due to ''Dark Dou Qi'', the sword body became dark red in the blink of an eye. The atmosphere has changed. Even the standing posture. Hey... An exclamation came out of Jinhyuk''s mouth. It''s quite complete. Is it more stable than Belus? Still, it''s worth the price for having sharp teeth. There is nothing much to criticize about using mana or flowing the river properly. This is enough to give it an 82.5 out of 100 points. selflessly. It was a really cold and objective evaluation. I admit that you''re pretty strong among humans. But, don''t be cocky. We''ve been around for a long time that you can''t even imagine. At the very least, where is the quality of a human who can''t live for 100 years! That''s the waste of the Ataraxia family! Has your self-esteem been scratched hard? The voice stood out. It seems that my evaluation is unsatisfactory. It''s selfless. It''s really measured from an objective point of view. I have nothing to say about being dissatisfied. It''s just unpleasant that people like me are speaking in front of me. Okay? Then, stop flirting and stalking. I''ll let you know how accurate my assessment is. Jinhyuk lifted one finger. Among them, it was a public fact that the middle finger was used. "You don''t go out. Ophelia." You can''t kill me, you know? Yeah, but you don''t need both arms to interrogate. Life flashed in Berthion''s eyes. doesn''t kill Instead, I felt a will to cut off at least one place. Berthion took a step forward. su su suk . A wind blew over the snow. Snowflakes were scattered. Don''t expect how long you can survive in this. with cold words. [Berthion activates Lv16 ''Blood Jade''!] His eyes turned red. Like drops of blood running down the lens. Everything I could see turned into a single color. "It''s like a third-class horror movie." Jinhyuk looked around as if curious. The ability to directly intervene in the field of vision in this way is a fairly rare skill. You''re finally making a look of a little surprise. But, it must be from now on that you''re really embarrassed. That is not a lie. In fact, the rapier''s blade that Berthion was holding was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps this is one of the effects of ''Hyeol-Jade''. Is it possible to hide the matter? Yes. Knowing the opponent''s ''distance'' in battle is the key. However, all of that fades away here. Invisible sword in red snowflakes. Everything was the worst conditions that blocked the view. In addition, the skills that Bertion possessed were also absurd. It''s a natural thing. How could a clan with a 3-digit level be weak? But. nevertheless. Jinhyuk was smiling. It''s not bad for a handicap. I can enjoy it in moderation. what? I don''t think there will be any room for boredom since I''m teaching talented students. A little while ago, I promised to inform you directly about the objectivity of the evaluation. Jinhyuk was going to keep that promise. I''m tired of listening to dogs. Watch the air holes in your body with your own two eyes. In an instant, the sword exploded. It is also difficult to recognize quickly. But. Kaaan! Berthion''s sting was nullified. The tip of the sword bounced sideways with a small flame. The stab isn''t bad. But, the timing of giving the fake was too fast. It bounces lightly like this because the center of gravity isn''t loaded properly. cheeky! Hearing one word, Bertion moved his sword at a much faster speed than before. The beauty of the rapier is stabbing, not cutting. The ability to dig small gaps was the reason for using this weapon. Kang! Kaang! Kakakan! The sword attack continued like a storm. It was the same attack that annihilated the demons guarding the cathedral. Uh-huh. Down. Aim down, down. Your feet are resting now. The staff keeps stepping on you. You''re fast, but you''re too swayed by it. ...awesome! It was a statement that could not help but lose strength for Vertion, who was moving at high speed. However, because of Jin-hyeok, who accepts every surprise attack, he has lost the opportunity to swear. ''this Run nonsense... .'' Ophelia, who was watching, could not believe the situation now. I knew that I had a certain level of skill when mana first liberated it. It was the same with this one who was hiding his skills. In particular, the fact that Berthion, who specializes in person-to-person combat, even used ''Heol Jade'' means that he is firmly convinced. It was very clear what the match would be like. By the way. why the hell Is there such a one-sided battle unfolding? ''No, it is true that the game should be one-sided.'' The problem is that the target to press and the target to be embarrassed have changed. Jin-hyeok is completely fooling around with Bertion and kindly gives education tailored to his eye level. And no matter how hard he tries, he can''t even rub his opponent''s collar. The unbalanced sight was far from reality. Ophelia swallowed dry saliva. It was hard to believe that such a strong human being was subordinated to someone. Even if the target was the lord of Ataraxia. ''If it wasn''t for Elise who used humans as puppets... .'' on the other way. If that person imprisoned Elise... ? Even such a nonsensical delusion flashed in Ophelia''s head. But that was then. A little further into the forest. kukukuku! A huge beam of light fell from the sky. There were mixed joys and sorrows on everyone''s faces. Because that ray meant only one thing. CH 134 . Hounds of the Decassus (3) The brilliance that contains the energy of the constellation. It was ''Blessing of the Stars''. There is only one person other than Jinhyuk who has this unique ability. Theresa, Saint Teresa of Amsterdam, came here. ''This is another amazing timing.'' Jinhyuk looked at the point where the light fell with an interesting face. Seeing the enormous mana overflowing, it must have been that Teresa was pouring all her energy into it. The opponent Mine was also tough, but at the point where the advantage of the surprise was not taken advantage of, the fight was almost over. It''s a natural thing. Because the number of players continues to increase due to the continued support requests. On the other hand, the number of demons was limited. "The divine power ?" Wow! There is someone who uses that cursed power. Berthion and Ophelia bit their molars. divine power. It was the opposite of the vampires, but it is a deadly ability for the demons who are currently blocking the Dangun Guild. Besides, if it''s such a pure power... . It''s hard with only magicians. All plans could have gone awry. The whole process of recovering Elise and then achieving the ''purpose''. Berthion! Damn I know. I know! At Ophelia''s cry, Bertion widened the distance. All of the ''blood prisons'' that had been opened up were all dismantled. He was thinking of giving up the battle and joining the demons. right then [Lv7 ''Day Light'' is activated!] A white flash of light crossed. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! No matter how far away you are, it doesn''t matter. ''Daylight'' in the first place After all, it was a wide-area technology with an effective range of several hundred meters. The forest vibrated violently in the storm that lasted more than 5 seconds. And after a while, the light that seemed like eternity faded. profit! A huge amount of water vapor rose from the place where the snow melted. ''great. Let''s talk slowly.'' Jinhyuk cleared his voice. I have to say this at this time. It was only at this time that I could find the meaning. ...Did you do it? A slightly excited voice, as if it was filled with anticipation. A moderately fast beating heart and a recalled face. no doubt This is perfect. as evidence of that conviction. Several status windows appeared in front of Jinhyuk at the same time. [[Copy Condition ''Death Flag Line''] The second line was counted.] [One of the unique abilities and skills is sealed at random.] [Skill ''Element of Fire'' has been sealed.] also . The dialogue that is sure of the death of the opponent is also a typical ''death flag line''. was one of In fact, beyond the vapor, I could feel the two blood relatives alive. If it was normal, it would have been the order to be smashed by the opponent who appeared in good shape. But this time it''s the opposite. Berthion and Ophelia were preparing to escape through the gap in the mist. ''I created an opportunity, so hurry up and disappear.'' Jinhyuk slowly folded his arms. A completely different situation from the original plan. Due to the continuous variables, the two guys'' heads will be in chaos itself. So, the only option you have now is to run away. After retreating, it is necessary to take time to prepare the front row. And of course. Jinhyuk did not follow him. There are some that have not yet achieved the copy condition, but it is because I thought of a way to make a more interesting version through the Mine Association and the vampires. ''ha. Why do I have to turn my head to the bad side?'' Jinhyuk shook his head left and right with his eyes closed as if admiring himself. There were many hurdles to overcome in order for the plan to be completely successful, but there is no problem. Why is the dead man called the dead man in the first place? Thirty minutes later, Jinhyuk joined the Dangun Guild. Jang Eun-seok, who was completely exhausted, and the players of the Dangun Guild were still breathing heavily. It''s like they''re fucking terrifying bastards... Damn. Hoyeon and Suho are ugly. Unless there is an Elixir, I won''t be able to live with that wound. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ok... no no of. blood-stained scene. The fact that there were no strong people showed how fierce the battle was. ''It''s miserable.'' Jinhyuk clicked his tongue. Fortunately, there was support from Teresa and the other guilds on time, so if it was even a little late, they would have been annihilated. How long would you have walked like that? A few Grand Master''s familiar faces appeared over the pure white eyes. This is surprising. There must also be a guy who didn''t expect to be here. It''s been a long time, everyone. Jinhyuk opened his mouth. Then the crowd turned their heads in unison. Tongue... bro! Uh, huh? How''s your brother here? Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa shouted with their rabbit eyes open. Mr. Jinhyuk! Teresa, who was taking care of the patients, also opened her eyes. They had been away for quite a while after the 6th floor was opened, so everyone felt a welcome look from their body. Anyway, wherever I go, I see you. Finally, Cheon Yu-seong frowned. what is this I feel like I''m being completely sarcastic. After gathering together on the 4th floor to block the zombie wave a few months ago, each of them worked separately. We''ve seen each other separately, but it''s been a long time since we''ve all been together like this. I''m here to get some phoenix feathers, though I got caught up in some pretty funny stuff in the middle. Yeah? Phoenix feathers? But my brother... Taemin was trying to say something, but he paused. Then he looked around slowly and lowered his voice. The four of us here knew about the identities of Jinhyuk and Unknown, but it could be difficult if someone from the Dangun Guild overheard it. You can speak comfortably. Because I have spread out a barrier that prevents my voice from leaking out. You can go straight to the 11th floor. Why didn''t you go there and come downstairs? It cannot be denied that ''Phoenix Feather'' is an important item. But that''s a story limited to when you attack the 7th floor. Jinhyeok, who can enter the 11th floor, had no reason to have the ''Phoenix Feather'' in his hand. At least. Taemin thought so. ''Hey, Taemin can only go up to the 20th floor, so you might think so.'' In the upper part of the tower there is a cold zone, which is a much harsher environment than here. In addition, the benefits that can be obtained from the 7th floor are not just ''Phoenix Feather''. However, Jinhyuk had no intention of explaining why. No matter how close a colleague you think you are, you don''t have to tell them everything. I had personal circumstances. It''s enough to just roll around. After all, if I drew a line, I wasn''t the type of person to be a stalker anymore. Jinhyuk shrugged the topic. By the way, what are you doing here? Ah. Yeonhwa-noona and I came here because of an ichthyosaur in the sea. You know that, too? Making weapons with that ichthyosaur''s heart. Are you going to make gauntlets for Yeonhwa with it? That''s right. I came here to help my older sister. In the meantime, I heard the Dangun Guild''s request for help and joined this way. That''s how it happened. It''s not easy to catch an ichthyosaur, but two people should be able to do it. Now, though, I''ve been hunting bigger than ichthyosaurs. I came here to see if there is anything I can do to help as there are a lot of deaths around here. Again, that''s Teresa''s. Should I say that I feel the will to burn at least one body for the sake of others? yes what Let''s say Saints of Amsterdam can do that. Because it was rumored that he had a good personality in the first place. However . Jinhyuk''s gaze turned to the side. The ice fragment-like swordsman was still dissatisfied with everything. Cha-donam is the trend, but I don''t think it would be strange if that was enough for ice to flow through the veins, right? So why did you come here? I don''t think the soul of a medical student is on fire. I owe this woman one thing, so I followed her. Wow. Seriously? No, Teresa. What did you do to make that leech follow you? Somehow, this guy wouldn''t even blink an eye. You make me follow you like a gentle sheep. I was curious about how it would go. That, that''s it... Teresa''s words were blurry as if in trouble. Just then, Yuseong Cheon intervened. Just stop talking nonsense. Do you know how serious the situation is right now? You know a little bit. The demons came and played a chess game, and the mosquitoes with sharp fangs joined in, aren''t they? Is the guy who knows that just kidding around? I don''t know what they''re after, but it doesn''t feel right. Obviously, something unusual is going to happen. I know. what? What they''re looking for and how they''re going to move. I know everything. No, it''s just not at the level you know. A way to water the demons and vampires while at the same time watering another problem. There is only one way to sweep away all the benefits here. listen carefully. As Jinhyuk''s explanation continued, a startled black flashed across everyone''s faces. Even Cheon Yu-seong was making an expression saying, "What kind of devil are there in the world?" And when all the conversations are over. There was no noise other than the sound of the wind blowing around. It seems that everyone is quite surprised. I don''t even know if a fly can get in by opening my mouth wide. How about it. Is this enough to get you interested? Jinhyuk smiled brightly. Damn... Shit, Shit! Seeing the raid that had turned into a mop, Jang Eun-seok spat out abusive language. Due to the surprise attack just before, 20% of the players in the total raid were incapacitated. The number of deaths was quite high, and above all, it was painful to see that the mana of the healers and dealers were exhausted in a situation where the supply was not smooth. ''The damage is too big than I thought.'' You will have to do your best to recover the damage without doing anything for at least a day. However, that means that the success or failure of the entire raid may be in jeopardy soon. Something had to be decided. A big decision that can change this trend. But right then. uh? In Jang Eun-seok''s eyes, Jin-hyuk and the other four people could be seen. Come on, Kang Jin-hyuk player! Jang Eun-seok quickly ran to where Jin-hyuk was. At a glance, it looks like it is trying to go somewhere. It was also accompanied by Teresa, Cheon Yoo-seong, Lee Tae-min, and Yoo Yeon-hwa, who played the biggest role in preventing the surprise a while ago. It has to be stopped somehow. No, you should at least ask where they are going, or if possible, if they can go too. Wait a minute, a minute! The voice became urgent. Jinhyuk slowly turned his head. What? I ended up having a conversation with a guy I didn''t want to see very much, so my tone of voice became sharp. However, Jang Eun-seok continued to ask questions with an iron plate on his face. I want to ask you where you are going now. Anyway, he''s a great guy in many ways. Well, if you want to know that much, there''s nothing you can''t tell me. I''m going to the ''Freshwater Lake'' in the middle of the forest. Everything, if it''s a freshwater lake...? At Jinhyuk''s words, an earthquake occurred in Jang Eunseok''s pupils. There wasn''t much information about the 7th floor, but he didn''t know what that name meant. A place where mana on the 7th floor gathers. In other words. This is where the most powerful monsters on this floor are gathered. CH 135 . ''Frost Blade'' tribe (1) Each person was assigned a role. Lee Tae-min, Yoo Yeon-hwa, and Teresa left to spy out the area where the demons and their kinsmen were stationed. And Cheon Yu-seong went out of the tower with a certain mission from Jin-hyeok. There was a lot of dissatisfaction, but it was only for a while. What would you do if you said you didn''t like a hundred days? After all, there is no option to refuse. Finally, Jinhyuk headed to the place where ''Damsu Lake'' is with the Dangun Guild players including Jang Eun-seok. In the white-washed vision and the harsh wind. A dozen men and women lined up. From here on, be careful of your feet. It is a terrain with crevasses, so you must follow my path only. Jinhyuk led the party at the forefront. Sheesh. You measure like that, knowing you can do anything? Jang Eun-seok, who was walking a little further away from Jin-hyuk, clicked his tongue. His face, stained with irritation and envy, was full of a sense of inferiority towards his opponent. I had no choice but to do so. Dangun Guild always appears as a candidate when asked to pick the most influential guild in the world. Wasn''t he the one who proudly won the position of chief engineering officer there? Besides, while spending 90 days on the 6th floor, the guild''s position became even stronger. The influence of players is higher than any other profession. To put it bluntly, if you were an executive of a large guild, you were not envious of a member of the National Assembly. Yet... . Why the hell is that bastard?! ''Are you getting more recognition and attention than me?'' Jang Eun-seok''s lips twisted slightly. Even at this moment, I could see Jinhyuk walking with the envy of the engineering staff. It''s just that I know a little bit more information, but if it wasn''t for that, I''d have thrown it out right away. Isn''t that right, Taeho? Huh? No, at most, after clearing the first few times, why is everyone sucking him like this? Jang Eun-seok asked as if asking for consent. Then the man next to him smiled bitterly. Taeho Lee. He was a player who was the deputy commander of this raid. Jang Eun-seok and I have been close friends since before the Tower of Trials appeared. Thanks to that, now that everything has become a reality, I was able to join the Dangun Guild in recognition of my skills and experience. Don''t say that too much. If it wasn''t for Jinhyuk Kang and the rest of us, we might all have died. The difference between the two was that, unlike Jang Eun-seok, Lee Tae-ho knew how to acknowledge each other. Knowing that a feeling of inferiority is only poison, is it a style that tries to absorb the strengths of others? If he had a better fighting sense than Jang Eun-seok, he might have overtaken him and ascended to the rank of commander in chief. Damn. I can''t say anything. Hold on. I''ll outrun a guy like that at once. I''ll do it all with my own hands, getting the phoenix''s feathers and smashing the demons. Jang Eun-seok bit his molars. Yes. will definitely do that Because the protagonist of this raid was himself, not anyone else. However. Even the conversation that I thought would have been completely buried by the sound of the wind. ''This is very sad... .'' Jinhyuk was already listening to everything. Saying sorry is the truth. Even if I don''t like it, the way he works hard is amazing, so I brought him along. just decided How thinly should you roll Eun-seok Jang? Freshwater Lake. It is the coldest place on the 7th floor, and at the same time, it is a place where all mana on the floor is concentrated. As it is a place where powerful energy gathers, a large number of non-standard monsters inhabited this place. But. The ecosystem that was maintained by the natural balance of power has just collapsed. none other than by the Ice Trolls. Exactly by a tribe named ''Frostblade''. and right now. Thousands of ice trolls were gathered a little away from the freshwater lake. ...hmm. The troll, who was buried in a chair made of red fur, let out a deep sigh. Blue skin, long tusks. The brightly shining eyes were particularly conspicuous. He is at least 1.5 times larger than the trolls gathered here. How much time has passed like that? Finally, a troll impatiently opened his mouth. A troll with a broken molar. Chief... you can''t do this. No, you shouldn''t do this. A word with two syllables. With those words carrying the fate of a race... . The troll, who continued to remain silent, responded. Know. A low, subdued voice came out. He knew what the troll with a broken molar meant to say that. However. Can not help it. The heaviness felt in a short conversation. As the chieftain of the Frostblade clan and considered the greatest warrior in clan history, ''Caracal'' concluded that way. I can''t help it. It is inevitable that they will follow the demons and vampire bloodlines. So I had to rationalize it. Of course, this decision was not what they wanted. pride and honor. Because those two were the pillars that supported the name Frostblade. However, trying to protect those values, everything in the tribe was in danger of being turned to ashes. This is because the alliance made up of the overwhelming descendants of the Decasus family and demons had no mercy. ''Warriors are not afraid to die.'' To die fighting a strong man is a warrior''s dream. Life isn''t worth it Because death was familiar and close, I could accept it at any time. the problem is . They are powerless children and females. Precious companions carrying the future of the tribe. If all of them were lost, the name Frostblade would be lost forever in the snow. so that. Because I had to endure it all. Caracal gave up both honor and pride. He had to bear all the burdens on his own and no one else. Because that was the duty of the chieftain leading the tribe. Chief...! I will not allow any objection. All warriors, check their weapons one last time. If the blood relatives come here tomorrow, they will follow them and attack the humans. That''s it. Honor and survival were decided. But right then. Someone approached the realm of the Frost Blades tribe, which even large beasts did not dare to approach. What''s the mood here? It''s not even a waiting room where everything from the casino to the pants is blown up. It was Jinhyuk. Um, I''m crazy... I''m crazy. Damn, this is a dream, it''s real life. Why do I have to come here... The players belonging to the Dangun Guild had to work hard to control their trembling bodies. There were only a dozen or so people. Even when Jinhyuk first asked to go to ''Damsu Lake'', he secretly stole the hidden Hidden Pieces. Or, I thought the purpose was to hunt monsters with rich experience and good rewards. But the reason I came here is the ice trolls . It is also known as the most vicious ''Frost Blade''. When I heard that it was to meet the tribe, it really felt like the sky was turning yellow. this is suicide To go to the bedrooms of thousands of trolls with this number of people was no different than saying we were just going to die. Come on, player Jinhyuk Kang. Please reconsider... Lee Tae-ho grabbed Jin-hyuk''s sleeve earnestly. If he hides in the crevices of the rocks like this and runs away after seeing an opportunity, there is still a way to live. So please... . please don''t just crash Everyone looked at Jinhyuk with earnest eyes. But it''s already too late. What''s the mood here? It''s not even a waiting room where everything from the casino to the pants is blown up. Because Jinhyuk went outside with everyone''s hands. It was a bonus that he had a bright smile on his face. human! Are you an intruder? The ice trolls flagged in unison. The appearance of equipping a spear and a shield in an instant. Indeed, it is an elite tribe that has gone through all the prenatal and prenatal trials. " " Caracal also looked at Jinhyuk with an interesting look. With that or not, Jinhyuk walked leisurely. chuck. The steps soon stopped. Exactly at the point directly facing Caracal. He couldn''t go any further because of the layered escorts. Hmm. Are you the leader of this tribe? Yes. My name is Caracal. I lead the Frostblade clan. Caracal answered meekly. And immediately asked. What are you humans doing all the way here? I don''t think they''re going to fight us with that number. It''s a difference in numbers... If you''re an idiot who simply thinks that quantity is more important than quality, it''s very disappointing. what? Caracal''s face contorted. yea that''s the way it is Caracal was praised as the strongest warrior in the clan, and it was safe to say that he had effectively united the seventh layers. If there is a boss monster here, it is said that he is strong enough to occupy that position. But ignoring this... ! Even the other trolls around were tilting their heads to see if they had heard correctly. "You you''re going to test me? Is it worthwhile or not?" kukukuku! Life, indescribable, began to fill the lake. tingly Fluffy hair stood up. The pressure felt on the skin is considerable. Hmm . That''s weird. Was the Frostblade clan leader this strong? "I don''t think I would have been pushed by my blood relatives at this level, but I don''t know why they cut their tails." Jinhyuk shrugged. No, seriously. Why are you so strong and succumbing to vampires? Of course, there must have been a guy with an article title from the mines as well. The two clan wasn''t easy either... . well. If there were thousands of troops and a capable leader, Caracal, it was enough power to fight against. Am I the only one who thinks the two of them succumbed for fear? Oh. What he said now had two meanings. One is that he is confident that he will not be defeated even against Bertion and Ophelia. And the other is that there are other blood relatives from the Decassus besides the two. A vampire of a higher rank, too. ''It''s fun.'' Yes, it is exciting to have this level of difficulty and variables. If everything is too easy, the taste of enjoying this world will decrease. pounding! pounding! pounding! Jinhyuk''s heart was beating rapidly. Placing numerous pieces of horses on a huge chessboard in the right place and moving them as desired is the beauty of creating a board. Of course, there are some hurdles to overcome in order to succeed. Is the guy growling right before my eyes one of them? Caracal picked up the gigantic spear next to the chair. Come all at once. People who have been cowardly since birth. I will deal with them all by myself. Yeah? Then, why not? After all, even you can''t do such a disgraceful thing... huh? An earthquake struck Caracal''s pupil. However, Jinhyuk once again emphasized the words that seemed to be taken for granted. Why? It''s a cowardly human. It''s also true that you don''t know honor. Is there any problem? honor? pride? That''s what you guys are looking for. There''s no such thing as this one. Did you hear? Dangun guilds. We just have to attack like cowardly people. Everyone, bring your tools. Maybe the chieftain. I have a word. I won''t come here and curl my tail. Whoops! Jinhyuk lightly loosened his hand. CH 136 . ''Frost Blade'' tribe (2) battle of warriors. As long as the proud warrior of the tribe has spoken, other members of the tribe cannot intervene. Jinhyuk, who knew exactly what that was, delved into the opponent''s only weakness. Everyone has to follow my signal. attack and defense. And the timing to decide that. There is only one command to give. Jinhyuk moved his hand lightly. Although he had never worked together with the Dangun Guild, the connection was perfect as if he had been a partner for 10 years. It was thanks to having already grasped the positions, tendencies, and unique abilities and skills of all players. I''ll go! Oooh! The players implemented the best skill that each player could do according to the signal. Wind and lightning struck Caracal''s face. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! So, let the raging storm pass once. [Lv10 ''Glacier Formation'' is activated!] This time, a stream of ice swallowed Caracal''s whole body. Dozens of snowflakes spread across the air. Wow! Caracal groaned as the chill spread across his skin. I didn''t expect that there would be such a brazen race, so I was in a pretty difficult situation. Caracal swung his spear sideways. Kak kak! Get it! Snowflakes made by glacier modeling were all smashed. Other than that, while in the tundra, the resistance to the cold attribute was unmatched. However. There''s no room to catch your breath. As if they had promised, the Dangun Guild players left their seats at the same time. Puppupuck! Aww! Various skills were poured out at once. Magical weapons with various attributes rushed towards Caracal''s whole body. Move in a way that supports the Kang player. We''re almost there. Now we just have to push a little bit more! Like players from top-tier guilds, when the situation came, they drove like crazy. Normal formation and standard attack. Since Jin-hyeok, the strongest deceased, was added, the fight slowly began to lean to one side. Then it was Jang Eun-seok who became urgent. ''I can''t do this.'' Even as Seunggi hardened, Jang Eun-seok''s face only hardened more and more. I had no choice but to do so. Now, the raid is actually moving under Jinhyeok''s orders. However, if the raid ended successfully like this, his position must have fallen. After Demon God, the endgame for victory will surely be followed by reproach and interrogation. Why couldn''t the engineering captain himself take on that role? Why did you turn all the spotlights on that person? The arrows of condemnation for all of that will be directed. More than anything else, I had to somehow prevent that monster from posting any more images. In the first place, didn''t you aim for the first attack of this raid to prevent that crazy solo? The worries didn''t last long. Get out of that! I''m the one in charge of this raid! A sharp voice rang out. Jang Eun-seok drew the line. About who the boss is here. Eunseok Eun-seok! Tae-ho Lee hurriedly dissuaded him, but Eun-seok Jang was already determined. Secondary commander. You must not interfere. Calling me by my title, not my name. It means that the lessons will be clear soon. Tae-ho Lee couldn''t open his mouth anymore. ...I see. Let''s do whatever we want. Jinhyuk didn''t protest at all. Actually, there was no need for that. Even this behavior that Jang Eun-seok showed now . Because it had already been calculated. ''Yes. After all, you should come out like this.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. Incompetent engineering commanders and rolling engineers. And the moving public mind and the big picture through it. I could already see the chess pieces dancing on the chessboard. After a while, the command system changed. Jang Eun-seok has regained his baton. I felt a sense of incongruity that the connection was not smooth, but . You have to move right now. Whoever the commander was, he had to trust him and follow him, but he was able to survive this situation. The players spurred the attack even more while biting their molars. While the others were fighting to die, Jinhyuk intuited every scene from a distance. ''also That troll guy. It''s worth it.'' It was a godsend to bring the Dangun Guild with a combat power meter. Aren''t they the perfect sacrifices to find out what the level of Caracal is? In particular, Jang Eun-seok, who was at the forefront, was already in a situation where he was going through life and death several times. shit will go down This time, not only the honor of the guild, but also his own life depended on it. Of course, I had no intention of helping. A cheeky bastard like that has to roll and roll a little more until his life runs out. But right then. [The 5 fire attribute magics are equipped.] [The condition has been met.] [Lv13 ''Eraser'' is activated!] An explosion sound different from the previous one followed, and a huge crater appeared on the ground. The magic player who has been collecting mana from the back has finally released fire magic. A high-ranking magic equivalent to a whopping 6 circles. Thanks to the casting of 4 players over 5 minutes, the power was beyond imagination. great! Jang Eun-seok shouted out a shout of joy. For this one room, I have endured until now. Whoops! As the snow melted, the ground was exposed. A dark red flame was still burning through the soaring smoke. Of course, the bodies of the players who were dealing with Caracal at close range were covered with secondary magic that increased fire resistance. Even then, right before the magic was activated, I had spread the distance as much as possible, so it was a godsend that I would have been swept away together. ...heh heh heh heh heh heh Okay, okay. Finally got it! Even if there are ten people, it''s a close fight. Well, there are all kinds of filthy strong trolls. It''s out of the norm! The difficulty level suddenly increased because of player Jinhyuk Kang... Hmm. Shut up your mouth. If you see that the chief engineering officer is not good at planting, don''t you know? More than that, the other guys won''t come in a swarm, right? The trolls, who had been watching, were angry at the death of the chieftain and thought about what to do, but strangely, the trolls did not show any signs of moving. It''s too weird to be scared. He didn''t seem to have given up though. But at that very moment. The reason the trolls were just watching was revealed. Boo woo woo! The spear exploded in the smoke with the sound of the wind breaking. fast. However, it can be blocked by raising a shield enough. Tae-ho Lee, who made the first decision, moved forward. At the same time, he blocked the front with a huge shield. no I thought it was blocked. Whoops! Red blood gushing out of his shoulder. Gagging? An earthquake occurred in Lee Tae-ho''s pupil. He pursed his lips as if he didn''t know what had happened to him. yea that''s the way it is The shield was not broken. He was still completely covering Lee Tae-ho''s body with an intact appearance without a single wound. However, the spear passed through the shield and succeeded in piercing the flesh. There is one reason for such a contradiction. '' Ignore defense.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. That spear Caracal is holding. It looked different from a little while ago. The word blunt was appropriate. A spear that was simply made by weaving wood and cutlery. Suddenly, it had turned into a blue window decorated with colorful patterns. ''Not only combat abilities, but weapons as well. The ability to ignore the target''s armor. That was the unique ability of that demon spear called ''Sleip''. ''This is getting more and more fun.'' The fight will be over soon. It''s so absurd that it''s not one-sided. Of course, this is not to say that the Dangun Guild engineers, including Jang Eun-seok and Lee Tae-ho, are weak. It''s just that the opponent is absurdly strong. Rumble! The players trembled thinly. Everyone''s instinct sent a warning. Never confront that window head-on. Damn it. How can you endure that... The tanks in charge of the first row faltered and retreated. Tae-ho Lee, the deputy commander in chief, was attacked, who can stand in the way proudly? They ran with great momentum. Is it over already? The remaining number is still in your favor. So, don''t be afraid and keep fighting. " " I see. If you don''t come from there, I''ll go. An enemy whose tail is curled is not worthy of respect. Caracal took a stance. From a place where the center of gravity is greatly lowered. kwaang! The new caracal vanished like a shadow. fast. The distance narrowed in an instant. A blue window swept through the air. Each time the spear moved, a player fell over the snow. Aaaaah! My legs... my legs! A female player with a hole in her thigh screamed for her throat to burst. No, stop! Damn, protect the dealers! Hold on somehow! Woah ah ah ah! If the dealers collapse, there is no chance to counterattack. Knowing that, Jang Eun-seok tried to protect the dealership somehow. However, it is of no use. One blow. No more rhetoric was needed, and stabbing was repeated to neutralize the enemy alone. That''s enough. Whoops! Whoops! Huh? Aww! once. twice. Every time the spear moved, it created a hole in someone''s body. With an attack that could neither be prevented nor dealt with, the fight had a very futile conclusion. Except for Jang Eun-seok, who was the most talented, everyone fell to the floor with serious injuries. There is no chance of winning 1:1. Jang Eun-seok knew that fact better than anyone else. Of course, there was no intention of meekly conquering defeat. "This you fucking beast! Dare you dare do something like this!" Jang Eun-seok, who spit out abusive language, leaped to the side. The destination was Caracal. Not the other troll warriors... . It was a place with young trolls who had just started walking. Jang Eun-seok, who grabbed the young troll''s neck at once, drew his dagger. Everyone, don''t move! Very fucking. If you lift even one finger, I''m going to rip this bastard off the throat! Ouch! The blade pointed towards the neck. Drops of blood fell on the sword. dastardly ! "After all, humans are all like this?" The trolls let out an angry voice. But Jang Eun-seok only snorted. Ha? It''s cowardly. Where''s the cowardice of dying and living? And there. Jinhyuk Kang, please stop helping him too. Damn it. We said we''d take over, but I really didn''t know that we would just keep our arms crossed. Isn''t it? Jang Eun-seok poured out his words like a waterfall. hey really. surprising. No joke, it''s really surprising. Knowing this, it is doubtful that the head was made by fusion of a crucian carp head and a chicken head. Oh ! It would be admirable if you discovered a new fusion combination I wasn''t aware of, but this? Anyway, it was quite refreshing to hear a dog whistle after a while. I think I''m misunderstanding something... Jinhyuk scratched his head. I''m not on anyone''s side. It''s just the side that has a higher chance of winning. In fact, depending on the situation, he was able to fight with angels and even hold hands with the devil. Victory and survival were the main prerequisites to climb the tower. But that''s it. Even so, I don''t have a hobby of eating side dishes with garbage. as always emphasized. The one who crosses the line is the exception to all of that. CH 137 . ''Frost Blade'' tribe (3) "You what now? Write, trash? You look at me and call me trash!" Jang Eun-seok was the flagship. The dagger he was holding in his hand gained strength. The blood that was dripping from the troll''s neck one by one grew stronger. ...! Caracal flinched, but only for a moment. Rather, watching Jinhyeok calmly walk forward, his pupils trembled slightly. They felt curiosity and interest in the human beings who came forward for them. jerk. Jinhyuk walked a little further forward. Until there! Don''t come any closer! If that happens... Then what? Will you even kill him? Why? It seems I don''t have the guts to do that? I can get as many kids as I can if I want to...! No, that''s not what I meant. After I killed that kid, what would I do next? I was curious about that. The players of the Dangun Guild fell into an impossible situation. It is difficult to even stand upright due to large and small injuries. If he kills the only hostage, will Eun-seok Jang be able to get out of here alive? well . I think that would be difficult. Well, then, I''ll get out of this place with this guy. Yeah! If you get me out of here safely, then I''ll release this guy. What about the engineering members? It doesn''t look like it''s easy to move, can they all get out? I''m sorry, but I can''t help it. Shouldn''t it be that even someone who lives to live has to live? At least if I''m alone, I''ll be able to escape. Was he really thinking of running away alone? But. No, it''s already too late. Jinhyuk shook his head. The role of a natural tank. A multiplayer player that can perform both the roles of a fairly usable dealer. Jang Eun-seok was a card that could be used at any time to hit a flat stroke. ''However, there is a decisive disadvantage of having a strong personality and easily losing reason.'' Originally, he was a person who should never be entrusted with an engineering commander. It was the engineering commander who had to make a cool decision no matter how dire it was. Of course, there were many reasons why Jang Eun-seok took on such an important position. It is the ''real'' that can be said to be the main force of the Dangun Guild. The raid was attacking somewhere other than here. much higher risk. And the ruins that few people know. Is it some kind of hidden route? As a group of deceased people in their own way, Dangun also found another way to attack the 7th floor. ''Officially, he praised Jang Eun-seok as if he was carrying the future of Dangun, but in reality it was just a screen to deceive the eyes of other guilds. It''s a natural story, but no matter how hard they try to hide it, it''s useless. Because Jinhyuk had already read that number thoroughly. ''It''s the Dangun Guild''s main raid, it''s enough to think about it slowly... .'' For now, dealing with this guy is a priority. Jinhyuk slowly stretched his left hand forward. The index finger and thumb collided. In response, Jang Eun-seok lowered his posture. I don''t know what Jinhyuk is trying to do, but it would be safe to use a troll as a shield. Jang Eun-seok was so sure. right then damn it! A light sound came from his fingers. However, nothing happened. There was no sign of skill being activated, let alone a unique ability. "Ha Was that a bluff?" At that moment, a voice mixed with relief and ridicule came out of Jang Eun-seok''s mouth. Something toddled with among the trolls. Four legs and a plump tail swayed from side to side. A reptile with black scales and yellow eyes. it was sweet potato As if waiting for Jinhyuk''s signal, a huge amount of mana was released from the sweet potato''s body. mosquito!! [Sweet Potato uses Lv2 ''Pier''!] The buzzing atmosphere. The ''Pier'' of the ancient species has taken over the entire space. Not only the trolls who occupied the freshwater lake by hunting large monsters, but even Caracal who led them must have felt a little bit of fear. There was no room for a sane person like Jang Eun-seok to dare. The dagger seemed to have lost its strength. Tuk! Jinhyuk moved. lightly. and then quickly. The body that passed over the snow reached up to Jang Eun-seok''s nose. Ugh! Jang Eun-seok reacted one step late, but it was already too late. It''s too late. If you hadn''t done these things, you wouldn''t have gotten this far. This is sincere. If I hadn''t crossed the line, I would have finished with a moderately rolling line. at the end of that word. The twin dragon swords pulled out from the subspace inventory crossed it horizontally. His right arm, which had been cut off with a long, long vein, spun round and round in the air. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Jang Eun-seok let out a scream of pain. He rolled over the snow, clutching the wound, but he didn''t feel any sympathy. A coward who tried to live alone by throwing away all the wounded engineering members. Garbage that anyone can sacrifice to survive. That is why, on the contrary, one arm was eaten cheaply for the price of causality and retribution. ''There is no need to finish it.'' As long as they threatened their cubs. Because the ice trolls won''t stand still anyway. ...that''s amazing. An earthquake struck Caracal''s pupil. Even when he first betrayed his honor and attacked in large numbers, he thought he was a typical human being. Such a human being who was only dirty and vulgar. However, Caracal couldn''t help but be surprised to see that he was perfectly commanding humans and coming under pressure. There''s a move I just showed you. '' The speed of narrowing the distance is amazing, but the speed of swinging the sword is completely different.'' The human being called Jang Eun-seok was never weak. Although the action was cowardly, it was possible because of the support of his skills to break through the warriors in an instant and take the hostage behind them. But how can you subdue such a formidable guy at once? It was an unbelievable sight. A very neat footwork technique still caught my eye. what if . Even if the person standing there was you, would you have been able to react to that attack? The probability of a counterattack after blocking is... ? As the thought continued, Caracal''s heart began to beat faster and faster. pounding! pounding! pounding! If you''re that strong... . Maybe it''s possible. exploiting the clan. To those who trampled on their honor... Maybe I can feed you a room. to check that possibility. kukuku kuk kuk! Caracal freed mana. In order to gain Caracal''s approval, you must somehow make him clashed with all his might. That was how the Frostblade clan, who worshiped the radish, recognized other races. ''As expected.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. Originally, I was going to use a method other than cutting down Jang Eun-seok, but . As a result, this episode turned out to be a more plausible stage. ''consensus'' Using his abilities to ease the opponent''s boundaries must have played a very good role in creating such a board. Then, next... . Jinhyuk used ''Eyes of Gluttony''. [Name: Caracal] Race: Ice Troll Age: ? (Not unlocked for unknown reasons.) Level: 82 Strength 30 Dexterity 28 Stamina 30 mana 35 Hero 45 Unique Ability: ''White Beast'' skill: Lv14 ''Road of the King'', Lv13 ''Acceleration'', Lv13 ''Strong Heart'', Lv12 ''Excellent Regeneration'' Characteristics: Caracal is a ''frost blade'' The chieftain is considered to be the strongest of the tribe''s history. A tribal troll that is being used and persecuted by the powerful in the tower. Caracal is ready to sacrifice his life to break that bondage. Since they are a race that knows honor and pride, once they form a relationship with them, they will never betray them. [Copy Conditions] In order to be recognized by the trolls, you must pass two conditions. 1. Win a duel against Caracal. 2. Don''t lose your mind to the end of a drink with the Frostblade clan. If both conditions are met, you will be able to select and copy one of Caracal''s unique abilities and skills. This time, there was a subtle mixture of things that went beyond common sense. ''Yes, I''m used to it now.'' On the contrary, I might have been disappointed if only one condition came out. As such, Jinhyuk was already used to the crazy demands of the system. Now that I''ve checked the copy conditions, there''s nothing wrong with that. If it''s Ilgito, I like it quite a bit. Be honest. Leading a large number of raids like before is not to my taste. After all, the best way to fight is to fight alone without anyone disturbing you. Jinhyuk also freed mana in line with the opponent. [The unique ability ''Sword Graveyard'' is revealed!] ride the sword. Whoops! The dark and red energy formed a form. indeed! A wide smile appeared on Caracal''s lips. this good luck. this feeling... ! no doubt A person called Kang Jin-hyuk is strong. The moment I thought so. They swung their arms at each other. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The snow piled up on the floor scattered all over. A spear with the ability to twist the laws of physics pierced through the blizzard. A natural environment that makes everything dead. nevertheless. Jinhyuk predicted the trajectory by subtly shaking the snowflake. Boo Woong! The window crossed the air. The spear blade passed right next to Jinhyuk''s neck. "It''s a spear that ignores defense it''s definitely quite interesting." Jinhyuk gently pressed his cheek to the spear blade. hey The feel is cool. However. Whether it has the ability to ignore defenses, or the ability to spread poison all over your body if you touch it. All. That''s all you can do to avoid it. In fact, some dead people even threw away their armor and walked around naked. It''s fun! But I haven''t exposed the bottom line either! with those words. Caracal''s spear began to vibrate at high speed. huuuuuuuuuoooooooooooooooooo As if dozens of windows were overlapped as one, an optical illusion occurred. Are you finally going to use it? Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. At the same time. [Caracal activates his unique ability ''White Beast''!] A gust of wind blew over the snow on the floor. It''s a start. Whoops! It coincides with Jinhyuk''s sideways throwing. A thorn made of snow rose from the floor. If it had been even the slightest bit late, he would have been pierced with his feet and his whole body. Whoops! Whoops! Whoops! In an instant, thorns rose one after another. Jinhyuk flew away like a flying squirrel. Hey! There, Caracal, who predicted where Jinhyeok would set his last step, threw a spear, but Jinhyuk avoided even that. The half-pierced window in my eyes trembled. You are reacting leisurely to this. Really... It''s amazing to see you again. Yeah. That''s the kind of person I''m expecting. Caracal let out an exclamation. Normally, I would have just been hit without even reacting to this surprise. Even at the time of the first encounter with the descendants of the Decassus, Berthion and Ophelia. Both clans also allowed this attack. Although . ''Finally, even if it didn''t work for him.'' Expectations are getting higher and higher. At least, there was a high probability that he had similar skills to that monster. No, maybe... . at that time. A smile crept across Jinhyuk''s lips. Me too. what? "I would have been disappointed if I couldn''t even do this, but I can barely give you a passing grade." It is a power that can be used sufficiently as a long-term horse. So, it would be okay to talk about the conditions slowly. Jinhyuk opened his mouth. OK. ...well, how the hell do you do that? An earthquake struck the pupil of Caracal. I had no choice but to do so. Because what Jinhyuk was saying now was something that outsiders, not his clan, could never know. CH 138 . How a dead person shakes the battlefield (1) Human, you, what the hell is...? Caracal asked again. His pupils were still trembling, but that wasn''t the point now. How is your opponent... . How the hell did the Frostblade clan . Do you know about the essence of the soul. Are you curious about this? Yeah, yes. The essence of the soul. Literally, it is a jewel containing the Blessing of the ancestors of the Frostblade tribe. Well, to borrow the words of the Ice Trolls, yes. In fact, it was the crystallization of the mana that flowed out when the battle-crazed fighters died while fighting each other. ''I''ll have to go over here like a hole in the wall.'' Jinhyuk picked up a suitable scenario on the spot. Let''s see. The genre is Can you do it with ''Medieval Fantasy''? [Lv1 ''faint body odor'' is activated.] The body odor emanating from Jinhyuk''s body gradually faded. I hope this is! An earthquake struck Caracal''s pupil. I am not surprised by the skill to simply hide body odor. I was surprised by the unique mana that flows from skill. ''As expected.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. Also ''hero'' When it comes to grade level, you have no choice but to notice the origin of that skill. "Were you belonging to the Empire ?" A sigh escaped from Caracal''s mouth. At the same time, my head began to spin rapidly. ''is it.'' If so, then all of this makes sense. The absurd strength that the opponent possesses. What we know about the essence of the Frostblade clan. Everyone was right if the hypothesis was that they were members of an empire with enormous power and information. Yeah. I''m from there. I''ve been moderately mixed with the players for the past few days. The ''faint body odor'' was received from the ''Kalladium Kingdom'', one of the kingdoms belonging to the empire when they attacked the psychiatric ward. It is a skill that the assassins of the empire mainly use, and because it exerted a strong influence on the 5th floor, the skill itself was imbued with the unique mana of the empire. Caracal recognized that. Of course, even that was what Jinhyuk had expected. As he succeeded to the chieftain, he must have inherited the knowledge of the previous chieftain, so you should know. Jinhyuk continued his speech without changing his expression. "As you know, our empire is strong. Of course, I also have the skills that I have been sent directly from the imperial family." There is no need to explain why you are with the players or why you have come down to the lower level of the tower instead of the middle level. On the contrary, it will play a role in strengthening the other person''s confidence even more if he is hiding it in moderation. Furthermore. The first condition of copying. -One. Defeat your opponent in a duel against Caracal. There is nothing in this sentence that says that you have to physically stamp and press. In other words, all you have to do is break the will of your opponent in some way. ''The second condition for drinking is that this will only be possible when all of this is over, so first of all, this is enough.'' And to support that expectation. The Dou Qi emanating from Caracal''s body subsided in an instant. The tip of the window pointed downwards. "What do you want from us while doing this?" Simultaneously with resignation, a voice with a little expectation flowed out. At the end of those words... . [The first copy condition has been completed.] A blue status window appeared in front of Jinhyuk. Again, as expected. Now all that''s left is to put the wedge in. All I want is war. Jinhyuk said briefly. Then Caracal''s expression darkened sharply. "War war?" Yeah. The vampires and annoying demons. I''ll have to clean up everything this time. I was thinking of inflicting such a fatal blow that I couldn''t even show my face for a while. It was appropriate for them to stay in hiding and lick their wounds. If we hold hands with you, do you think we can win the fight against them? I can''t promise a lot. With me, you''ll lose a lot of clan members. If you deal with blood relatives and demons, no matter how much the Frost Blades tribe, the damage is bound to be large. Half of the warriors... No, maybe more than that. Warriors are ready to die at any time. The problem is the non-combatants. If our betrayal is known ... and if we are defeated, the tribe itself may disappear. That''s right. Obviously, there is a possibility. Jinhyuk did not deny it. In the worst case scenario, you have to endure it. nevertheless... . Are you okay with this? Seriously, it''s about whether you''re satisfied with just living your life. Isn''t it okay? But, it might be better than cutting off the tribe''s pulse. At least... no. Jinhyuk cut off Caracal''s words. It''s a life that''s not even dead. Life as a slave couldn''t have any meaning. It is more valuable to fight against it, even if you die in an ugly struggle. "Yeah. Maybe maybe." It gave off an expression as if Caracal was swallowing molten iron. Drops of blood flowed from between his clenched fists as he struck the bone. Well, if I''m with you, will the tribe survive? As I said before, I can''t promise you a lot. But, Only one thing. As much as this can promise. Honor and pride. And . Freedom. I''ll let you keep it. ...! Just a few words lined up. But the meaning of the three words could not be compared with anything else. Honor and pride... freedom... la. Caracal pondered the words slowly. They were treated as a strong race only in the lower floors of the tower, but there is an upper level at the top. Trolls have always been exploited only by stronger races and forces. It was used freely as needed, and as the need ceased to exist, it was immediately disposed of. It was just a long-term horse used by the powerful to expand the tower''s territory. That was the life they lived. It was fate to live in the future. By the way. A man appeared who offered to break that bondage. It''s a short meeting, less than an hour. It was only natural that there was not enough time to trust anyone. But why? Caracal felt that the weight of those words was by no means light. pounding! pounding! pounding! Caracal''s heart began to beat wildly. Because for the first time, I believed that a life that had only lost hope and had been submissive could be changed. A heart that had dried and twisted for a long time, lost its function, was beating. "From the first time I saw him I thought he was an interesting person." It''s different from the bluffers who just talk. There was a strange charm in what Jinhyuk said. There was also the ability to back up that charm. I don''t care if you''re a player or you''re from the Empire. Even if this is the wrong choice. Even if this leads to more miserable words. We are . Caracal decided. I will no longer live as a slave. The Frostblade clan will fight. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Oooh! It''s a battle! Raise your weapon! Freedom! Death to enemies! A huge shout echoed along the shore of the lake. Now the counterattack begins. It is quite far from ''Dreamsu Lake''. Several men and women were gathered in a place where the white snow was dyed black. The first things that stood out were Berthion and Ophelia. And next to it was a Hosenveld from the Mine Association. The reason everyone''s facial expressions aren''t good is probably because things didn''t go as planned. right then The man who was sitting on the rock opened his mouth. ...You mean that strong? Is that Kang Jin-hyuk a human? Berthion and Ophelia were also beautiful, but nothing compared to this man. Silver hair that reached to her shoulders, eyes bright red like ruby. The aura emanating from the white skin was truly admirable. If you ever run into someone on the street, it''s a level that anyone can look back on at least once. However. It wasn''t just his looks that made this man great. Title, ''Black Wings'' that can only be obtained by those who directly serve the six great heads of state. And the man, Michael, was pure-blood who was in charge of that part. trembling Berthion and Ophelia''s bodies trembled thinly. Michael''s position was so absolute that even two blood relatives, who had been so hard-headed, did not even dare to make eye contact. Yeah. I''m angry, but it seemed that we could barely deal with it if we both jumped in. Ophelia, who shook her head, answered politely. On the other hand, Berthion immediately objected. Ophelia! What a...! No. It was definitely a little annoying, but it was only because I was careless. If you give me one more chance, I''m sure I''ll be able to hold your breath. Hey. Give me one more chance? Yes. Berthion sharpened his molars and burned his will. I''d love to do that for a cute subordinate too, but I can''t afford to waste my number on useless things, as long as it''s already deviated from the original plan. Yeah? We''ve been pushed back a bit, but so far we''ve done a lot more... no. Michael''s gaze turned to the distant sky. Then the rest raised their heads. As I concentrated my mind, I saw small machines that could almost be called dots flying. If it wasn''t for Michael, it would have been difficult to notice. It''s fun. They spy on this place through rats... Wait, are you saying that they''ve figured out the location of this place? It seems that way. It seems that you have grasped all the important points of the forest. I thought that someone with a little brain would find this place someday, but this is too fast, even if it is fast. Michael grinned. It was an innocent smile, as if something fun had happened for a long time. I''ll have my men shoot down those drones right away. And I''ll even bring the drone pilot alive. This time, it was Hossenveld. Such abilities will only be effective within a certain range of the user. In other words, it means that enemies are also present near the drone. But this time, Michael shook his head. Don''t you think it''s strange? That those who know exactly where we are in this vast forest are so poorly exposed where they are? ...are you saying it''s a trap? Otherwise, it wouldn''t make sense. And the reason for this distraction... . I''m going to aim for the ice trolls. Yes. nothing but that While we were tying our eyes to the separate building, the other side must have headed towards the freshwater lake where the ice trolls are. Perhaps a guy named Jinhyuk Kang thought he could defeat Caracal, the chieftain of the Frostblade clan. Or or . ''You think you can convince me.'' Considering that the blood relatives treated the trolls badly, the latter was more likely. ''Are you going to make them turn their spears this way?'' If one of the three races can be dissolved, the win rate of humans will rise a little. Besides, there will be more hidden numbers when you see them behaving recklessly. I couldn''t ignore the possibility that there were other forces besides Elise who looked after me. ''That''s fun.'' Putting the situation together, it means that the opponent also has his own preparations for victory. But all of that is a story when these backgrounds are not discovered. You looked at me too funny. Michael got up from his seat. I admit that even human beings wear their own hair, but that''s all. Having experienced numerous battlefields and crossing over four limbs. And the one who lives and breathes until the very end. Because it was you and no one else. "I will explain what to do from now on." CH 139 . How a dead person shakes the battlefield (2) About 3 hours have passed since they formed a temporary alliance with the Frostblade clan. Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, who left for reconnaissance, joined a while ago. Jinhyeok also broke up with Caracal and took a seat with the party. [[Lee Tae-min is a great soldier] Activate ''Sedes''.] The ability to collectively control the summons. Hundreds of mechanized troops were deployed in the forest. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Fully charged mana shells let out a bizarre resonance. Uhhhhhhh... Flexibility also checked the knuckles and adjusted her breathing. Mana, refined through the ''Taecheong Hwarang Heart Method'', spread all over the body. ''Indeed, both of them have grown tremendously.'' Jinhyuk let out a small exclamation. In the meantime, I didn''t know because I was acting separately, but when I saw the form of using skill or mana, I immediately thought that a dead person is a dead person. Compared to the two, did Jang Eun-seok, whom I met recently, look like an elk? That''s why past experiences are so important. I prepared everything like that and waited for them to come, but... . No special movement was felt in the opposing formation until late at night. It''s strange. It''s so quiet. [Lee Tae-min, who was examining the forest through the Machine Lord, opened his mouth.] The number of drones in the sky right now is a whopping 30. While maximizing the range of motion, at the same time, he was maintaining a narrow distance so that the opponent would not be detected. It means you have complete control over this area. However, as the uncomfortably quiet silence continued, Taemin had no choice but to feel uneasy. What made this situation embarrassing was the same for flexibility. Brother. Didn''t I say that there are more annoying people besides the two blood relatives? Yes it was. Jinhyuk nodded his head. Clearly, Caracal said that the Decassus came from a stronger kin than Berthion and Ophelia. If you have the skills that even Caracal is afraid of, there would be no reason to be pushed back... . That was when I was thinking. kukukuku! Suddenly there was a great vibration. The earth''s axis swayed, and he felt a powerful mana that was hard to fathom. Tongue, bro! Taemin shouted. Drones flew towards somewhere at high speed. May this be... . Trolls! That''s where the ice trolls are! Yoo Yeon-hwa pointed in one direction with her hand. At the same time. A mana storm created by dark red sparks fell from the sky. Exactly where the freshwater lake is. KwaKwang! KwaKwaKwaKakakang! Like a meteor shower, lightning began to ravage the ground. It is a sight that can only be called a catastrophe. The faces of Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa contorted in astonishment. number was read. The opponent knew that this was going to join the Frostblade clan. Rather, it was incapacitated and the Hidden card held by this side was incapacitated. That''s a complete blowback. And all of that. ''Yeah, it''s coming out like this.'' It was just as Jinhyuk had predicted. The formation of the lake has completely changed. The lake decorated with a hollow crater seemed to represent how ruthless the bombing just before was. ''This is a checkmate.'' Seeing the smoke rising in the mist, Ophelia put on a satisfied smile. The site has been completely turned into a wasteland. There would be no living beings that could survive this bombardment. It was a perfectly prepared attack. It was such a completely devastating surprise. By the way. "Hey, this can''t be ! No. Not one I can''t see even one." A demon who had been digging through the wreckage was the flagship. I had no choice but to do so. Of course, there was not a single trace of the trolls who were supposed to be charcoal. What nonsense is that? Obviously, this is the home of the Frostblade bastards. Stop talking bullshit and take a closer look! Right now! Ophelia''s voice sharpened. The same goes for this one! I''m here too! Damn it, it''s completely empty. No matter how powerful the firepower was, there was no way that even the corpse fragments would have evaporated. But denying it didn''t change the reality. The Frostblade clan is not here now. And that means only one thing. ''no way You mean it was empty from the beginning?'' Yes. There was no way to explain this phenomenon other than that the surprise was predicted. The shock, like being hit in the head with a hammer, was brief, and Ophelia''s face turned red. It was an unbearable shame to have been defeated in a number of battles against only humans. Whoops! The sound of the fangs clenching resounded very loudly. Then it means we have some guys pouring mana into the abyss and waiting for it to go down. At the words I mumbled like self-talk... . Yeah. I kept waiting for that timing. Someone answered. [The 3-star barrier ''Dimensional Break'' is dismantled.] A crack appeared in the empty space where nothing could be seen. The landscape was shattered. And. jerk. With a light footstep, it was a saint armed with white armor. It was Teresa. A number of Paladins seen behind them also formed a formation with their whole bodies covered with armor and shields. All of them were players of the ''Shion Guild'' who had completed their job change to a priest or paladin. Everything, as Jinhyuk-san said, Primary God. From the fact that he awakened Michael''s awareness by deliberately revealing Lee Tae-min''s drone. Even making the opponent notice the Ice Troll''s betrayal through that. These were all things Jinhyuk had said. ''After all, there is no player who surpasses Jinhyuk.'' To be honest, I''m getting goosebumps. Because we designed the detailed situations and took the variables into account to get to the current situation. They pride themselves on being the strongest in the world and have a completely different level from other large guilds with a high nose. That is why Teresa was even more convinced by this event. There is only one person to believe in and follow. Sreung! Chunkyung! The demons drew their weapons in unison. Dirty paladins...! Damn! Totally under siege! Ophelia-sama! Come on, give me instructions! The surroundings quickly became chaotic. The formation that had gathered to maximize mana was transformed into a defeat that made the Dragon siege the Zion Guild. [Theresa activates her unique ability ''Blessing of the Stars''!] Whoops! A dazzling brilliance burned on the sword. "If you give up your weapons and surrender even now, your life will not be taken." In a situation where more than half of mana was exhausted, there was no way for Ophelia and the demons to reverse the situation. Certainly we are at a disadvantage this time. Ophelia let out a small sigh. It takes time to recover mana, but there is no way your opponent will give you that time. In other words, this battle is over. Now, I have no choice but to rout and focus on minimizing the damage somehow. I will not allow you to run away. Teresa''s blade burned more fiercely. Well. Will you be able to catch me at your level? You''ll have to do it to find out. If you want to try it, do it as much as you want. But before you start playing tag, I''ll tell you one thing. Ophelia, who was about to turn around, stopped. At the same time, the corners of his lips twisted slightly. Michael-sama also foresaw that this could happen. This is not the complaining of the loser or the groaning of a loser. right at this moment. Because the sky is starting to turn black. [Weather change (׃) is activated on the 7th floor.] With the status window dyed red, the clear sky was distorted black. kukukuku! Visibility was extremely narrowed by the heavy blizzard. Of course, drones that were observing everything from the air were also useless. brother! Taemin hurriedly shouted. I guess you want to let them know that it is no longer difficult to detect the enemy''s approach. Of course, Jinhyuk was also feeling the rapidly changing situation with his whole body. ''Really, it came out like this.'' Jinhyuk wet his lower lip with his tongue. As soon as she took a shot through Teresa, even greater retaliation came immediately. Exercising a deterrent that can change the weather of the entire hierarchy means that he has consumed an enormous amount of coins and interfered with the tower''s system. ''I don''t even know how many advanced material items were used.'' I knew that the higher-ranking families were wealthy, but at this level, the level of money would change. The radius of the drone was about 15 km, so the enemy will arrive in 10 minutes at the earliest. Not ten minutes. Something caught Jinhyuk''s senses. Multiple mana reactions approaching much faster than running. He must have reached here sooner than Lee Tae-min had expected. There is no time to prepare. 3 minutes... and 1 minute. Time disappeared in an instant and the swaying branches crossed. come! Jinhyuk grabbed the dagger. That moment. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Kao! The roar of the beast echoed in all directions. Dire Wolf. They''re not wild, they''re tamed. The wolves with gray rakes and 3 m tall showed their majesty. As a result of scanning with ''Eyes of Gluttony'', individual levels were over 40. However, more annoying than the Dire Wolf were the demons on their backs. To be precise, the one who leads the demons is probably Lancelot, who is in charge of the round table. This is the first time since the psychiatric ward, so it''s been a while since I''ve seen you again. I''ll definitely finish what I couldn''t handle at Dou Qi this time. "You failed even when you were locked up in a prison, but how are you going to finish it now?" ''I was careless then, but this time it''s different!'' What is this? No, it''s not some kind of middle school disease. I worked hard back then. At this point, it is doubtful whether the skill equipped as a passive is careless. The chatter is still there. It''s almost as good as the realm of talent. "The only advantage is that the concept is the same." So I made BJ my calling. Otherwise, I would have looked for another job right away. As Jinhyuk spoke, he secretly shifted his center of gravity to the back. Then, Taemin Lee and Yoo Yeonhwa started taking a step backwards little by little as if they were waiting. It''s useless if the players are waiting in the back. The base has already been identified. Lancelot, no, Hossenveld spoke. what? no way . An earthquake occurred in the pupils of Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa. The last trump card prepared. It was an ambush prepared at a point about 500m from here. The players of the Dangun Guild, as well as the mana turrets, Craymores, and land mines made by Lee Tae-min pouring out all the mana, are all laid out. Because of that, I thought that I could turn the situation around if I could draw in the opponent perfectly and focus my firepower... . Even that operation was overlooked. ...that''s really thorough. Was this the thought of that high-ranking Decasus family? That''s it. ...that''s right. He''s a guy I don''t want to deal with again. Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva. But it was only for a while. nod. As soon as Jinhyuk exchanged glances with Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa, he turned and chose to run away. I should have told you? On the players side, we''ve already dealt with everything? In addition, the effect of the weather change was fading away, so the option of hiding in the blizzard became impossible. However. "I know that." Jinhyuk still added his last words in a low-pitched voice. ''Fleeing against the Dire Wolf. That''s stupid... .'' Hossenveld, who had been snoring, tilted his head slightly. The escape direction is different. It was not the place where the trap was dug, but it was luring in a different direction from him. ''Is there another trap?'' I thought about it for a while, but the chances were slim. Since the Dangun Guild had disappeared, there were no cards left with them. ''The saint will buy time from Ophelia''s side, and the Ice Trolls are able to compete with Berthion, who will join after annihilating Nana and Dangun Guild.'' No matter how much I thought about it, there were no variables. Chase. Yes! When the order was given, the Dire Wolf kicked the ground. how far did it go? After the forest ended, a wide plain covered with snow appeared. If you go a little further, you will be able to stop the breathing of the three men running away with their backs exposed. It''s almost over. one step forward By the way. The moment you see something appearing from beyond the hill. "Hey, how is this how " Even Hossenveld, who had not lost his composure in any case, had no choice but to panic. CH 140 . How a dead person shakes the battlefield (3) The one that appeared from over the hill was one of the figures that the Mine Association was also paying attention to. celestial. Swordsmanship Or it was the same guy called the sword demon. ''Bill... Damn it.'' Hossenveld''s face contorted harshly. If he had been the only one who supported him, he wouldn''t have been so upset. I admit that Cheon Yoo-seong is difficult to deal with, but there was only one person. The problem was that there was a huge crowd coming behind him. All of them have unparalleled strength. If you look at the pattern, ''Chinese'' The players of the guild must have been. ''There is no way Jinhyuk Kang or Yooseong Cheon have any acquaintance with the Chinese Guild.'' Especially Jinhyuk. [Isn''t it watering both the Chinese and Black Fortune guilds in the program called Ranker Recruitment, Climbing the Tower of Trials?] No matter how rationally thought of it, that combination made no sense. However. No matter how much he thought of all the possibilities and thought of a solution, there was nothing Hossenveld could do in the current situation. Namgungcheon, the pillar of the Chinese Guild and the pinnacle of all Chinese players. He was quite uncomfortable because of a player who recently visited China. A cheeky bastard broke into a branch managed by the Chinese Guild and started a riot, insisting on winning. Even with the same mask as the one I miss the most. Now is not the time to go about breaking the Dojo like it was a few decades ago. The branch managers of the Chinese Guild lightly ignored the request. Hundreds of people a day trying to appeal themselves to the guild in this way came to visit, so the chukgaekryung was even more sunken. However, the opponent recklessly drew his sword. great. If you want to break one of your limbs like that, I''ll do whatever you want. With that thought in mind, the branch managers broke their joints. By the way. An unexpected result was obtained. All the players of the Chinese Guild, who had offered to give up the smashing, had to be taken care of by the hospital. Arm and leg. It was literally unilaterally beaten with nowhere to go. Even among them, there were even a ranker equivalent to the rank of an engineering commander, so it was no longer possible to look at the situation lightly. In addition, with one more drink, the man even fired a disgusting provocation. This is the one. I''d rather have the filial descendants of Mr. Park in the old man''s home in my neighborhood. Instead of just talking about Chinese food or anything like this, open a Chinese restaurant and sell it. In particular, the guy who asks if it''s Namgungcheon or something, tell him. If it''s unfair, 7 Please come to the floor. There is not only this body but also Kang Jin-hyuk, who is the strongest and most dignified in the universe, so if you come without fear, I will show you what the difference in class is. As if reading a Korean book, his voice was awkward. It''s as if you''re just reading what someone wrote in advance. However, it was not his voice that mattered to Namgungcheon. ''Kang Jin-hyuk. I can kill that garbage and even the one who lost that cowardly head.'' In response to that fact, Namgungcheon personally led the engineering team to the 7th floor. The chase was easy. Because there was no player who could run away from the elite of the Chinese Guild, who had aspirations in the first place. My heart pounded when I finally chased the abomination right behind my back. How cruel must I kill to get my stomach out? And how sweet it would be to drink a cup of tea while looking at the crying opponent. The moment seemed to go crazy. After a while, when I found Kang Jin-hyuk in the plains, I called for joy inside. Everything was perfect. Everything was good up to there. Only one. Until a huge number of troops, including the Dire Wolf, appear from behind them. I, Namgungcheon-sama! The enemy. The number is about 700! All of them are elites of B-grade or higher! The Direwolves are also mixed with a ranker player with a particularly strong mana! Reports pouring in urgently. How the hell did this happen! When did they gain such power...! Namgungcheon was the flagship. Obviously, Jinhyuk knew that he was mostly alone without belonging to any place. Namgungcheon also knew about the existence of Yoo Chun-young and some other people, but none of them sent a large number of people. That level had already been confirmed through the information department of the Chinese Guild. After all, who are they? "Kang Jinhyuk!" Namgungcheon bit his molars. ''Big. It''s also really spectacular.'' Jinhyuk, sandwiched between the two forces, nodded. It was unexpected that the Dangun Guild and the traps they had prepared were discovered, but this was the real goal anyway. Cheon Yu-seong, who secretly stole from the tower, had to bring all the rankers of the Chinese guild. If things go according to plan, I was convinced that no matter how much the Mine Association and the alliance of blood relatives, it would be a situation that would be worthy of quarrelling. And that prediction was exactly right. When I think of all the hard work I''ve been through because of you... Cheon Yu-seong''s speech was clouded as if he was swallowing molten iron. "When I read that line how the hell! How! Aaaaaaah!" It looks pretty shameful. When you see that you can''t even speak. Yeah. As expected, our swordsmanship did well. If there were dog gum or churros, I would have given them one. Unfortunately, there was no convenience store nearby. However, it was too wasteful to buy it at a coin shop. Oh, by the way, hyung. Are you really okay with this strategy? Taemin swallowed dry saliva. When I first heard of this operation, I thought it was nothing but suicide. When it happened, I felt like I was going to lose my mind. It''s okay. Trust me. this definitely works because . It was a method I had used against divinities when I climbed the Tower of Trials in the past. greatness-! Hmmm! Jinhyuk cleared his voice. Why don''t you come here? Are you afraid? Well, we look a little tougher. We prepared a lot to feed you guys. Jinhyuk shouted loudly. The key here is confidence. Namgungcheon or Hossenbelt must have limited information. ''In other words, I am the only one who can hold this battle and shake it.'' Jinhyuk moved forward with even a dagger in his eyes. slowly. at the same time leisurely. Scanning the camps on both sides, he quickly came in and made a boran gesture. come in, come in If you take just one step, you''ve got the prey you''ve been longing for, right? ''If you are confident, come and see me.'' if you can do it ''Damn it. should not be dried How many times have you been caught up in that guy''s face?'' ''The other side is never kind. Considering the number and quality of those troops... If we act recklessly first, we may be harmed.'' The more Jinhyeok relaxes. The body of the two powers had a strange phenomenon that shrinks even more. The weakest side grabs the biggest plate and shakes it. Ttt. It''s not fun. There''s no point in gathering power if you''re so careful. Jinhyuk made a face that he wanted to die because he was boring. And after collecting the dagger again, he tapped the party''s shoulders. It seems like we need a little more warm-up to fight in earnest, but we''ll fall in first. Can I leave the rest to you? That''s enough to subdue yourself, right? Jinhyuk nodded awkwardly. In a way, it seemed to be heading towards Namgungcheon. In a way, it seemed to be towards Hossenveld. That''s enough. Let''s take a leisurely step. Cheon Yoo-sung, Lee Tae-min, and Yoo Yeon-hwa followed. ! Hey, that guy... have to chase If you don''t pursue them now, they will soon disappear from view. However. If you show your back, you must give your back to the other person. Being caught behind in a war, not a battle, means annihilation. Namgungcheon and Hosenvelt''s heads were too cold to make such a stupid move. I''d rather... . Clean up those guys as soon as possible. "After killing them all, I will deal with Kang Jin-hyuk." The two made a decision. The troops quickly took their place. Since there was no time, both formations established positions to maximize their attack. fast-paced. There is no such thing as surrender. Only the will to annihilate the opponent began to fill the battlefield. And the moment when the formation is fully equipped. charge! Sweep it away! The captains on both sides took out their own weapons. Namgungcheon''s ''Sword River'' and Hossenveld''s ''Knight''s Oath'' emitted different lights. like that. The snow-covered plains began to turn red. After leaving the battlefield, Jinhyeok headed straight to the ''Valley that doesn''t melt'' located on the outskirts of the forest. Here, the entire valley is frozen, and the huge cave under the waterfall is characterized by its enormous size. Therefore, Jinhyuk made this place a temporary residence for the Frostblade clan. Are you all here? Yeah. Wait here for a second. Jinhyuk, who arrived near the waterfall, carefully opened his mouth. Teemo... ummm. Did you say a little bit? Timo! it''s just a slang Oh, brother... Brother. That''s a bit. Damn. Do you really choose that one even if you choose? Sometimes you say you hate being called that so much. In an instant, the faces of those around them rotted. It wasn''t a joke, it literally turned dark. Even Cheon Yu-seong frowned with a face that looked like a bug. shit. What an effective way to identify peers. Does everyone look at you that way? Even though he hated Teemo, there was no word I could remember more clearly than this. Efficiency is more important than pride on the battlefield. cancer. not like that right then A familiar troll appeared from beyond the ice waterfall. colonel. also. Like a manly man, Caracal accepted those words. Still, you managed to find it without getting lost. I was worried that you might get lost and wander with the whole tribe. It was a little complicated, but I was able to find it somehow by following what the humans told me. That''s good. By the way, how did you find out about this place? We''ve been on this floor for a long time, but we didn''t know there was such a place. That''s right. Because this ice waterfall was also a place that was so cleverly hidden. ''If I wasn''t crazy about ice shark fishing once, I wouldn''t have found it.'' You swam in the water wearing only one pair of panties in minus 60 degrees Celsius. No matter how young he was, he was crazy. Still, thanks to that experience, I was able to find a useful hideout, so I don''t think it was necessarily a bad thing. ''The ice shark was so delicious.'' yes what All the hardships are memories. That''s all nonsense. What are you going to do from now on? The most important person must still be there? Cheon Yoo-seong, who had been silent, suddenly brought up the main point. A higher blood relative from the Decassus. So far, the guy has hidden himself and hasn''t appeared anywhere. Besides, there was one more problem. It is said that the detached corps composed of Bertion and the Demons took care of the Dangun Guild, so they can aim at the back of the head at any time. You take care of the little ones. What do you think? I''m going to go fishing for big fish. I''m sorry, but if other people went, it would only be a hindrance. Maybe Cheon Yoo-seong knew that too, so he didn''t say that he was going to follow him. Looks like he knows where he''s headed. Yeah. I''m just guessing. Making a plate like this, sacrificing this much of his subordinates. He has only one place to go. And Jinhyuk knew the answer. CH 141 . Blood Wayport (1) How many minutes have passed? Jinhyeok, who was running alone, finally reached the beach. It is about 10km away from where I am standing now to the island where the ''Phoenix Feather'' is located. As expected, a road made of black clouds continued over the sea. ''Have you already crossed over?'' Although the plates were laid out lengthily, in the end, the purpose of the clan was only one from the beginning. Just to go to the island where the ''Phoenix Feather'' is located. To be precise, it was to activate the anti-magic targeting the entire island. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. kukukuku! In the distance, on a dimly visible island, I could see a waving of red mist. After an hour at most, the magic circle will take effect. if so . Jinhyuk took out the ''Essence of the Frost Blades tribe'' that he received from Caracal. At the same time, the status window was activated. Name: Kang Jin-hyuk Gender: Male Age: 27 Level: 42 Strength 22 Dexterity 22 Stamina 31 mana 80 Gap 100 Luck 10 Adaptive 78 Stat Points you have: 0 Coins held: 251,558 Occupation: Rune Interpreter UNIQUE ABILITIES: The number of unique abilities ''put aside'' state has been switched to. If necessary, you can open it to view all abilities and skills. barrier: The number of barriers learned is too large to ''fold'' state has been switched to. Perfect growth with nothing to criticize. However, to move forward, simply having the modifier ''perfect'' was not enough. Perfection is basic, and everything has to be overwhelming. Only then will I be able to come back alive from that island. ''I currently have 80 mana... .'' If other players saw it, it was a high enough number that they took their breath away. Isn''t Jinhyuk even specialized in close-quarters combat, not just using magic? Moreover, considering the gap and adaptive stats, the level of morale among current players was unparalleled. Still, there was no sense of leeway in Jinhyuk''s expression. ''At least three times the current level will have a chance to win.'' The mana felt on that island was horrendous. Jinhyuk poured the essence he was holding in his hand into his mouth. gulp . I felt a hard solid run down my throat. right at that moment. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A warm energy began to rise from within. Jinhyuk''s face was wrinkled in pain as if his whole body was going to be ripped to pieces. Ugh... Even though I expected it, I couldn''t help but let out a moan. [You have taken the ''Essence of Soul'', a relic of the Frostblade Tribe!] [mana temporarily rises from 80 320!] [Time remaining: 0h:59m:59s] Whew. Whoo. Whoo.... Jinhyuk took a deep breath. His bones were still throbbing and his intestines felt like they were about to explode. shit. That''s why I didn''t want to overload my body. At least the ''Jintae Cheonghwarang heart method'' Thanks to that, mana was easy to operate, so damn it, if I had done it naked, I would have become a dead person and a ragtag. ''But now it''s done.'' There is no shortage of mana. After the Tower of Trials arrived for at least an hour, I gained the strength to get closer to my past heyday than ever before. Tuk! Jinhyuk crossed the bridge in an instant using ''Sword Demon King''s Bo''. fast. It took less than 5 minutes to cross the bridge thanks to the significant rise of mana. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart was pounding hard. this feeling. this good luck. It''s similar to when you attacked the village of giants on the 18th floor with a single sunflower. ''I remember. in full swing Don''t hit me even with flowers That book, it was time to read hard.'' It was a very impressive read, and mana was left behind, so I fought with flowers instead of weapons for several months. Roses, roses, dandelions, roses, roses, or dandelions, I got them at random, and then I fortified them with mana . From the standpoint of the opponent, there is no choice but to crack mentally. Looks lucky. You''re lucky that plants don''t grow on the 7th floor because it''s so cold. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. Then a man with silver hair appeared in front of him. Oh. The corners of Michael''s lips rose upwards. It''s a face that I didn''t know would come this far. Seriously, after Berthion and Ophelia, it must be hard to believe that so many demons have all been breached. However, despite the unexpected circumstances, Michael still did not lose his composure. It''s as if we can handle any number of variables like this. "You must be a person named Kang Jin-hyuk, who is well-known for that." That''s right. So what should I call you? My name is Michael. There are some cumbersome modifiers in front of the name, but there is no need for such a formality between us. It''s nice to be concise. Jinhyuk nodded his head. Ophelia said she''d never seen a human with such a special blood. Indeed, it''s not a lie. I thought I had lost my appetite a long time ago. It''s been a long time since I''ve felt like this. Something What is the expression on a person starving for a week when he first sees a delicious steak? I don''t know how I became a vampire''s luxury lunch box. It''s all because of Elise. Hey. I guess I''m famous? As long as the rumors spread among mosquitoes. Haha. Yes. It''s something to be proud of. To be honest, I''d rather say that I was surprised. I also didn''t expect that there would be such a strong human being. Michael glanced at Jinhyuk up and down. It was as if his sticky eyes were sticking to his skin. Does this feel a little dirty? I''m not intolerant to a guy staring intently at me... If it''s a provocation, I''m doing pretty well, now. Even if the target is a good-looking guy, that kind of interest is definitely a requirement. I''m sorry. I''m quite interested in you, but it seems like your interest has only one direction. I hope you don''t think about wasting time talking like that. To be honest, isn''t it fun because it''s so obvious? Take time? Me? no? I have no idea what you''re talking about. I''m just interested in this conversation. Michael responded calmly. Well. Still, this guy manages his facial expressions pretty well. The talent who could be nominated for an Academy Award is stuck in a corner of ice like this. Film directors around the world will hit the ground and regret it. Okay, then I''ll remind you. Currently, it takes 15 more minutes for the Blood Wayport to fully operate. Of course, you want to hide that fact as much as possible. It''s going to be difficult. A ''Blood Wayport'' made from the blood of a thousand people. It is an anti-magic circle that is activated as long as there is a lot of blood, regardless of whether it is an enemy or an ally. To complete this, Michael sacrificed so many lives. Of course, I was caught in the footsteps of that success. "You know about the Blood Wayport?" An earthquake struck Michael''s pupil. Even as he said it himself, his voice was trembling as if it was hard to believe. understand it It would be unrealistic for mere humans to know this kind of information. Either way, Jinhyuk continued to speak. Now it''s time to drop the bomb. Blood Wayport is the ability to summon monsters without ego through sacrificed offerings. In other words. Aren''t you preparing for a war for territorial expansion? I don''t know exactly how many floors they''re aiming for. The tower''s power structure and interests will be much more complicated than those in the past games. A moment of silence passed. But it was only for a short time. " Yes. At this point, I can''t help but admit it. It was my mistake to treat you as the same as the rankers of mines and guilds." In an instant, Michael''s complexion changed abruptly. A life that blooms terribly. He must have felt a deep sense of fear, even for a brief moment, beyond mere vigilance. I have a lot of questions for you, including Elise. So don''t worry. Michael raised the mana. kukukuku! The power to change the ark. An illusion occurred as if the whole island was vibrating. ''indeed Is there a class among blood relatives?'' Jerrit! Jerrit! Jerrit! The energy that touches the skin is stinging. It was no exaggeration to say that this was a completely different race from Ofiliwa and Bertion. But why? Jinhyeok was smiling even in the midst of a storm of mana like Taesan. Being able to fight strong enemies. And to be able to face the enemy with the best conditions. I felt every cell in my body come alive. Yes. ''This is the taste.'' The feeling of exhilaration when defeating an enemy that is difficult to handle at the current level. I left this world to enjoy this thrill and fun. I also chose to live in this world once again. I think you should be a little worried. There''s not a single reason you should save him. A dagger in his left hand. And in his right hand he held one of the twin dragon swords. A pair of weapons of different lengths gave off a strange anticipation. That moment. [The unique ability ''Star Blessing'' is activated.] Incomparable to Teresa... . The energy of the stars floating in the night sky. Right now, it fell to the ground. Shall I go or will you come? Jinhyuk raised his sword with brilliance. rapidly changing air. An unimaginable mana collided in the front. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Snow and dirt were plowed all over, and a new path was made on the ground. Dark red sparks flickered over the pile of pine snow. Indeed, it is doubtful that this is simply a confrontation between the two entities. Wow! A thick tendon protruded from Michael''s forehead. It''s not just because he''s pushed out of power. He used 7 spells in a row, but it was great that all of them were read. ''I Did you lose the battle?'' I thought it was the best combination. Convincingly that you will be able to get down on your knees after making your opponent a mop with this one shot. But this is the result. The burns on his body were regenerated in an instant, but even the wounds in his pride were not healed. Facing Michael like that, Jinhyuk also licked his lips with his tongue. In terms of strength alone, he ranks higher than the tenth-floor rock giant. Moreover, mana could not even be compared with any target he had ever fought against. ''It was such a shock even though I only received it with magic that had good compatibility... .'' I thought it would not be easy, but this was more than I had imagined. Even though it absorbed even the ''Essence'' and greatly increased mana, it failed to inflict a fatal wound. Only 7 minutes left now. ''If I want to do it on time, I''ll have to be a little nervous.'' Jinhyuk took his stance again. In order to break the vampire''s unique high-speed regeneration and its own shield, you must create more gaps. In the end, what matters in this fight is speed. When I used ''Sword Demon King Bo'', a bright light flickered on both legs. To combine maximum speed and best strike. The sensations all over his body were sharpened. But that was then. Unbelievable . Jinhyuk took a deep breath. Something that should never have happened has happened. CH 142 . Blood Wayport (2) What is this...? sudden change. Jinhyeok, who was about to kick the ground, stood still. Jerrit! Jerrit! Jerrit! What''s better than putting pressure on the skin from strong mana... ? It feels as if thousands of insects are crawling all over the body. The moment I thought so. [Blood Wayport is activated!] A red status window appeared in the air. Pants... . A red hex star began to be drawn along the floor. "Unfortunately, the anti-magic is activated much faster than you expected." Michael slowly opened his mouth. As if convinced of victory, a gentle smile appeared on his face. ''Is this why you were so confident?'' It''s annoying, but it''s definitely what it says. mana miscalculated the speed of building the whole formula. As a result, the Blood Wayport was activated. Everything exceeded expectations. tsutsutsu ! The shape of the Great Magic Circle became more distinct. Now, the ground was so red that it made my eyes shiver. At the same time. Starting from the east and west of the island, a huge gate appeared. It is over 1km wide and 100m high. Jinhyuk raised his head. ''That''s amazing.'' Trying to get a sore throat. It can be said that it is the largest in the scale of a single gate. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Keiyi...! Soon after, a voice that seemed not of this world rang out. Between the trembling surfaces, something was struggling to get into this world. Honey! Honey! Rough ripples appeared on the surface. The shape of an ugly face and hand hit the wall over and over again. Are those guys coming? They are called ''hungry ghosts (I)'' and they have the worst eating properties. If these guys are coming over, it must mean that blood relatives are also coming soon. It was when Jinhyuk''s eyes turned to another place. That play! I wanted to see if there was evenness in the air. Soon a black vortex occurred. Two dolls appeared in the whirlpool. Whoa. I''m tired of dealing with annoying paladins. It''s impossible to keep an appropriate distance and play a tag? I sympathize. I''m terribly tired to play with stupid demons. It was Ophelia and Bertion who appeared with grunting tones. Due to the ability of the Blood Wayport, even two clans outside the island were summoned here. There. [Two worlds are connected!] [''hungry ghosts (I)'' appear from the demon world!] [Time Remaining: 5h:59m:59s] The hungry ghosts that finally passed through the gate and came out into the real world had a hard time assessing their power. I can only guess that level 50 is lightly over. ''It is a small species of less than 2m in size, but their nails must be quite troublesome.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. The curse placed on the nails was a kind of rotten skin even if allowed only once. Indeed, it is a card of conversion prepared for territorial expansion. Any level of the tower would have a hard time surviving a day against this force. The charter shifted so quickly. No, it''s hard to wrap it up by saying that it''s simply tilted at this level of difference. A palm tree in front of an approaching tsunami would have hit it well. No matter how hard a human being, he can''t even reach my toes. After all, it''s always this body that laughs last. Michael announced the end of the silent fight. There was no means to reverse this situation, so he had no choice but to predict victory in advance. It''s a natural thing. Hungry ghosts crawling endlessly and two kinsmen. And there is even Michael who is in charge of the Black Wings. By what means are you talking about reversal? No matter how large the guild''s players are gathered. Even if you pour out the relics you have. The result will not change. And all of this . It was exactly the picture Jinhyuk wanted. I knew. what? I pretended to be surprised and did a little acting. They said it was right and liked the way they liked it. So, I missed the time to stop talking. After all, he was a member of the Children''s Children''s Theater Troupe. Unfortunately, I didn''t get the lead role, but I did stand on stage anyway. shit. It seems that the role of streetlight on the road was not very good... . Jinhyuk smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders. Human. Don''t be pretentious. It''s ridiculous. What is this man talking about now? It''s not that he''s lost his mind because he''s too scared. Is this enough? Berthion and Ophelia held back their smiles. Seriously, even the country wouldn''t believe me if I said this. If only their snouts were fluttering, anyone would have no choice but to react in the same way. if so . I''ll just have to add a little more detail. Didn''t you think it was strange? No matter how rushed it was, the Blood Wayport''s Great Magic Circle was triggered too quickly? I admit that Michael raised his own pace. Because the ceremony was completed much sooner than expected. However. It''s not just Michael''s stake there. Some parts of the story are missing a bit. That is also a very important point. ...what does that mean? what do you mean I also played a little prank to amplify the mana of this island... well, that''s what it means. at the end of that word. [The 4-star barrier ''Restraint in the world'' is activated!] A barrier that relieves some of the system''s deterrence and at the same time amplifies the caster''s mana is unfolded. Translucent waves began to cover the entire island in an instant. Hey, this is...! I can''t believe it. We didn''t notice such a large barrier? ...! The facial expressions of the three blood families have changed considerably. Personally, I''m grateful. It was only because of you guys that I was able to use this card. Compared to Blood Wayport, it''s too shabby. Thanks to that, it was possible to completely erase the existence of the barrier from everyone. If I had done this kind of back work in a situation where there was nothing, I would have been caught right away. ...Surely, it''s surprising that we''ve taken advantage of our carelessness. But, what does this mean? Do you think that just because you''ve gotten a little stronger will change this situation? Michael quickly regained his composure. Anyway, I have to watch that kid drool with his mouth wide open. ''I''m not surprised at all.'' However, it was only for a short time that he was able to wear such a relaxed mask. The climax of this movie has just begun. Do you think that the reason I met the ice trolls and raised my mana and used this barrier to build up was simply that I became stronger and tried to fight you guys? light question. However, the answer to that water will never be easy. Jinhyuk wasn''t the only one who realized what that meant. -Reduces the ''repression'' of the tower. This means that it does not simply increase the caster''s mana. His composure was broken for the first time in Michael''s expression. no way . That''s right. Actually, I''m not the only one who has something to do with you guys. I have a friend who has very sharp teeth. Someone who lives in a rented room in the ring. Jinhyuk injected mana into ''Braham''s Ring''. Then that moment. kukuku kuk kuk! Jinjo, who had been imprisoned in the ring, was released. Height over 170 cm. His silver hair and red eyes that reached his waist proved that he was the pure blood of the vampire family, the bloodiest of the vampires. " " Alice''s eyes turned to the blood relatives in front of her. A feeling of pressure beyond imagination just by looking at it has entangled the space. No matter how much deterrence was relieved and mana was raised, he barely reproduced 20% of his body. nevertheless. What do you mean? What is this absurd level of power? As if to tell you that the dimensions are different... . Elise revealed her own personality without adding or subtracting. How can you maintain this kind of power even after being in the ruins for such a long time... Oh, I can''t believe it. Rumble! Ophelia and Berthion''s bodies trembled like aspen trees. The current situation was embarrassing for Michael as well. "Even if you release the power in this way it doesn''t mean you won''t kill the contractor." I never imagined that Jinhyuk would break the seal of Elise. It''s normal to have your powers extremely restrained or locked up somewhere deep. It was because if she had empowered Elise, she would immediately kill the contractor and regain complete freedom. But that expectation was wrong. Michael''s face was subtly contorted. ''It just means that it''s not a relationship where they use each other... .'' This is something that is not intuitively understandable. That the proud head of the Ataraxia clan builds a relationship of trust with humans. If I told this to the rest of the family, no one would believe it. That was then. A low-pitched voice came out of Alice''s mouth. My name is Ellis. This is Ellis von Ataraxia. The six great families that rule the night. And the existence at the apex of that family. He who is rich in the highest and despises everything below. All of them were modifiers referring to Elise. The years spent in exile in endless darkness, we have lost so much. The beauty of the stars and the moon illuminating the night sky. The soft feel of the wind and the freshness of the grass. It''s all gone too far. He was able to get out of that bondage thanks to Jinhyeok, but Belus and his kin were still trapped in the corridor. Still longing for freedom in the dark. He will be waiting for you to come back. The time of lying and deceiving is over. Yes. This is more than a barrel. A notice that must be given to the other five families who betrayed him and to those who follow them. And from now on, I will hold you accountable for your mistakes. at the end of that word. Elise very slowly pulled up mana. kukuku kuk kuk! It was already over 50 degrees below minus 50 degrees, but the cold air flowing out of Elise''s body now was nothing compared to that. A chill that penetrates to the bone. He couldn''t even imagine how heavy the anger he had accumulated during that time was. ''It must be painful.'' Jinhyuk bit his lip slightly. It is different from the pieces of data in the game that I knew only in terms of settings. Because of the shared feelings through the contract, even at this moment, I felt sadness that could not be expressed in words from Elise. ''I don''t feel so good.'' These words are sincere. A colleague who always complained, but was always by my side. so that. Because I know that feeling better than anyone. Jinhyuk was not comfortable with this situation. Sreung! chuck! A pair of swords stretched forward. ''Star Blessing'' and ''Sword Grave'' are opened at the same time, and each sword is colored with a different color. I think this fight is going to be pretty grueling. One of the two will never survive today. CH 143 . All-out war (1) [[Ellis is Lv??] Activate ''Blood Territory''!] kwaduduk! hard! The spears made of red blood were twisted like a pretzel. It means to maximize penetration by adding rotational force. It''s no use even if a million flocks of mere creatures come. Elise shook her wrist lightly. Then that moment. kukuku kuk kuk! The spears flew towards the hungry ghosts at once. An enormous number of blood vessels swept away everything in sight. Pupper Pupper Puck! kwaaang! Kie! Keeek! What followed was a shriek filled with shattering and pain as bones and flesh mingled. I didn''t put the matter in my hands. Therefore, a scene comparable to that of Hell was produced. The red rain, which seemed to last forever, ended only a few minutes after that. Naturally, none of the hungry ghosts are alive. In a single attack, all the hungry ghosts that came out through the gate were turned into a handful of blood. After a while, another hungry ghost will come out of the gate, but at least for now there is a gap between them. Ugh... Damn it. What kind of attack is so ignorant... A deep moan came out of Berthion and Ophelia''s mouths. Each of them spread and defended the maximum shield they had, but they barely survived. " " Fortunately, Michael alone did not take much damage from the previous attack. can you stand that Indeed, it deserves the title of Black Wings. Just because that attack had a power comparable to that of Hetzling''s Breath. Elise. what? No, no. I''ll tell you later. After this fight is all over. Jinhyuk, who was about to say something, immediately shook his head. The point here is to say something, not to say it. sadly. And leaving a lasting impression is the most important thing. It''s bland. Alice turned her head without thinking. shit. I know it''s spicy. But, there is nothing you can do. Because I haven''t cleared all the copy conditions yet. ''Still, this is the third time.'' Trying to Talk The Demon Flag has always been one of the signature death flags that makes everyone choke. as proof of that expectation. T-tiring! A status window appears indicating that the condition has been cleared. [[Copy Condition ''Death Flag Line''] The third line in the middle was counted.] [One of the unique abilities and skills is sealed at random.] [The unique ability ''1 second invincibility'' has been sealed.] Oh . ''It hurts a bit.'' Jinhyuk frowned slightly. One second invincibility is a reliable insurance that can make you make unreasonable or drastic moves. In particular, this skill was supposed to shine the stronger the opponent was. But eventually, this will be sealed. ''It''s a little pricey, but I can''t do it.'' As long as it is randomly sealed, it is useless to look around. What matters is how well you can use what you have now. In addition, the situation in which there is only one step left to copy the opponent''s skill. If you can copy ''that ability'', you will be able to lead the situation to your advantage. Jinhyuk opened his mouth. You''re in charge of Michael. I''ll join you after I''ve cleaned up the rest of the dwarfs. What? Joining? What do you think I can''t do with one of those guys? At Jinhyuk''s words, Elise''s white forehead wrinkled. For some reason, it feels like if I say something wrong here, all the blood in my veins will be drawn out. That''s why you shouldn''t touch it when it''s rough. This is something, I almost thought I was seeing a hedgehog that had its mealworms stolen right in front of me. Jinhyuk hastily added a word. I''m not questioning your skills. It''s just that I don''t want you to take all the risks on your own. You don''t want me to take the risk... on my own? Yes. We are colleagues. We depend on each other in difficult times, and we can fight together. colleague . Alice pondered the words slowly. trembling eyes. It seemed to have some effect with the beading of candy. ''I was nervous because I was afraid that I would take care of everything by myself.'' No matter how much Alice was, she could not wage an all-out war with Michael while only using a portion of her power. There was also a limited number of mana who could provide support. Above all, Elise''s Noble Phantasm was all taken away by other family members when she was expelled from her position as head of state. Michael knows that too, so he probably hasn''t given up on the fight yet. If we had fought under perfect conditions, we wouldn''t have lasted a minute, but at least not now. ''I can''t let that huge chunk of experience go away by myself.'' yes this is the biggest I''ve been struggling with leveling up lately because I''ve only been dealing with nutritious people. If the heavy prey that came in with a lot of effort was taken away, it means that you have slept all night. sure. Thank you. For telling me that. Alice completely misunderstood the intent. A contractor willing to join the fight for revenge for himself and his blood relatives, and to regain his place in Caju. Your life may be in danger, but a companion who is always with you. Well, it looks like you''re expecting something like this. Well. ''Even if I''m mistaken, I think I''m doing it firmly... .'' I feel a little bit of remorse in my conscience, but I''d rather not reveal the truth here. When it''s over, let''s have a beer with your favorite chicken. I''ll shoot you this time. I like that. The conversation ended there. Took, Whoops. They moved towards each other''s goals. Elise and Michael collided head-on. Aww! Red sparks exploded in all directions with a roar. And while the two monsters face each other and the terrain and features are completely reversed, Jin-hyeok faced the other two clans. I''ve only been waiting for this moment. The very moment that will make a hole in your neck! Berthion burst into laughter with a face full of joy. You won''t be able to run away this time. Well, even if you want to run away, you won''t be able to. Ophelia also helped with a word. It''s strange. I know you guys were the ones who ran away with their tails curled last time, but why do you like them? It''s not memory manipulation. We''re just swapping winners and losers. At this point, it is doubtful that the ''Eyes of Gluttony'' may have missed the self-rationalization skill. You seem to be mistaken. We are not originally specialized in fighting as individuals. "There''s a reason why we go as a team of two. Previously, Verithion had to deal with it alone in order to show his skill in moderation." Well . So. You can''t just do that alone, don''t you think we have to fight together? What kind of useless words are you sticking around with? All you have to do is say that you are afraid of being alone. Even if I don''t explain it in detail, I don''t think I''m going to ask you to do one-on-one work. Whether you fight alone or with two people, the result won''t change anyway. As Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders, dark flesh rose from the faces of the two blood relatives. Hey, what a cheeky human being! Okay. We''ll see where and how much you can say. From now on, I''ll be fine. Sreung! Chunkyung! Two rapiers were pulled out at the same time. ''Dark Dou Qi'' completely wrapped around the surface of the sword. As they said, they did everything they could from the start, without measuring or doing anything. '' The time has finally come.'' Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva. Last flag for the copy condition. Finally, the time has come to say the best lines for this situation and condition. Me too, stop joking around. keep in mind The stigma is only temporary. And. this . The copied skill remains forever. It''s my 100% power. Not 10%, not 50%, not 75%, not 100%. The last flag that sent countless villains to the underworld has now popped out of the world through Jinhyuk''s mouth. right at that moment. [[Copy Condition ''Death Flag Line''] The fourth line in the middle was counted.] [One of the unique abilities and skills is sealed at random.] [The skill ''Different World Restaurant'' has been sealed.] The status window was listed in chururuk. The sealed one is ''Another World Restaurant''. It doesn''t matter if it''s not a combat-type ability. More important than that was the phrase to follow. [The condition has been met.] A golden status window indicating success appeared. Success! Jinhyuk clenched his fists. [The skill to copy .] You don''t even need to read this. This is because we decided from the beginning what to copy. I''ll make a copy of ''mana vampire''. Jinhyuk mentioned one skill without hesitation. [Successfully copied skill ''mana Vampire (A)''!] [mana vampire] Acquisition Difficulty: A Description: When an attack is successful, you can steal part of the opponent''s mana. (0.3 mana per 1 hit / 1 mana per 1 clean hit) mana vampire. I struggled so much to get just this. pounding! pounding! pounding! Jinhyuk''s heart was beating rapidly. Does it feel like all the hardships you have suffered are washed away like snow? The excitement and sense of accomplishment of acquiring a new skill was incomparable to anything else. However. ''It doesn''t end here.'' Rather than simply copying, fusing the skill of the higher version based on it. That''s something other players couldn''t even imagine. It was a privilege that only the deceased could do. I will fuse ''mana vampire'' and ''blessing of stars''. What... what is that? An earthquake struck Ophelia''s pupil. When we started fighting again, I never dreamed that things would turn out like this. It''s different from last time. This time, I will fight with myself. As long as Berthion, who had strong self-respect, had consented, he was able to subdue the raw meat, even if it was a human. Yes. It must have been so. However, the moment I saw the light that rose from the dagger. Ophelia felt all common sense she had known crumble. mana vampire! No, that energy is simply different from the mana vampires that blood relatives are learning. Mana Vampiric was a dark attribute ability, but the dark attribute and the abominable holy energy coexisted. You... what the hell are you? You''re only human! How the hell! Ophelia realized that her voice was trembling without realizing it. Don''t panic, Ophelia! It''s just one skill! Berthion hurriedly shouted. There was a sign that he was trying to catch the mentality of his colleague somehow. However. Well. You seem very surprised to say that too, don''t you? The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. A pretense disguised as equanimity. The false mask that Berthion was wearing seemed to be about to come off at any moment. it must be frustrating Treasured swords would never have heard of their abilities being altered in this way. Not to mention, even the vampire mana, which is the basis of the fused skill, was of a much higher level than they had... . The sense of shame and emptiness felt by the two blood relatives cannot even be expressed in words. But what to do? If you eat chicken, the legs and wings are all mine, and the ribs and neck are all yours. It was too obvious that such a result would come out. I''m sorry, but I need to finish it soon. The Jinjo lady you see over there. Even if you look like that, you''re still weak. So don''t be sad if you die too soon. Now that I''ve acquired this skill, all the reasons to procrastinate are gone. [I used Lv1 ''Soul Vampire''.] A dagger with a faint green glow. at that end. Pants... . New skills acquired through fusion were revealed. CH 144 . All-out war (2) Boo Woong! The dagger drew an arc. ! Naturally, Berthion swung his rapier in response. clash of swords and swords. Kaaan! Like evidence that you have achieved a whistle. A sharp rustling sound rang out. However. [You have obtained 0.3 mana from the effect of ''Soul Vampire''.] ''Soul Vampire'' steals the target''s mana even if it doesn''t hit a valid hit. The saying ''should have avoided it without blocking it'' is not for nothing. Furthermore. Like the skill of the higher version, there was one additional effect here. [You have permanently acquired Elemental 0.01 due to the effect of ''Soul Vampire''.] Unlike the ability to temporarily absorb the opponent''s mana and use it. ''Soul Vampire'' can exploit a unique energy called ''Spirit''. A stat that creates synergy with all the stats it possesses, and can energize the whole body by itself. ''It''s lower grade than Gap or Adaptive, but it has the advantage of being able to raise it permanently every time you fight.'' In other words. This means that it is a stat that grows infinitely. Most of all, the most attractive thing was that you could acquire the spirit without raising the level. Because it meant that if you were fighting with Elise and Cheonyuseong all day and sucking the essence from side to side, you could increase your stats tremendously. Since ''Soul Vampire'' is a very picky eater, it is an undeniable fact that it is a skill that is extremely effective even if it absorbs only the spirit of a strong person that he has recognized. Kakakan! Kaang! How long did the sword strikes that cross like a storm last? After several sieges, Bertion also realized that something was wrong. Not only losing mana, the feeling of energy being drawn out of the whole body. Because of this, the more they fought, the more rapidly the balance collapsed. You''re more like a vampire than a vampire like this! Yeah. Still, it''s from the Decassus, is there something like a nun? Jinhyuk smirked. Oh. This isn''t a mockery, it''s a compliment for tidying up. Usually, the procedure was to slowly dry up and die. At least I can give an extra point because I realized it at the beginning. ''Even if it is, the result will not change.'' fault! Jinhyuk increased his speed one step further by using ''Sword Demon King Bo''. Kaka Kaka Kaka! The dagger moved so fast that it was hard to discern with the naked eye. Great... Berthion concentrated all his attention on blocking the attack. However, I am in a rush to defend myself. He didn''t even dare to attempt a counterattack. The ability to move up and down and to dig into weaknesses was almost to the point of being said to be cruel. Rather than suffocating with a single blow, aiming at the part that the opponent hates and hurts the most, extracting the maximum amount of energy from it. [mana is 0.3 .] [Regularity 0.1 .] [mana... .] [Routine .] Bertion loses mana the more he fights. On the other hand, Jinhyuk had a strange phenomenon in which mana recovered as he fought. at last. Sheesh! Ophelia, with a short tongue, entered the war. straight track. Boo-woong! With the sound of breaking the wind, the rapier headed towards Jinhyuk''s neck. However, Jinhyeok avoided the surprise attack from the blind spot too lightly. The tip of the knife ran through her hair. "The two of us are going to fight that would be fun too." There is no reason to give up on giving up the regular period on your own. It''s also difficult to take too much time, but for the next 10 to 15 minutes, Elise will be able to survive on her own. Until then, I was thinking of sucking the honey as much as possible. Jinhyuk increased his speed even more. Now, the bodies of the two clans began to noticeably slow down. This is because so many regulars were selected in such a short period of time. Don''t waste your time any longer. That fact, Berthion and Ophelia, and no one else, felt the most. Berthion! Know! [Ophelia activates Lv15 ''Heart Eater''!] [Berthion activates Lv16 ''Blood Spear''!] front and back. A position to maximize the 2-1 advantage. I took out the most powerful skill I had there. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Dark red energy was expressed through the rapier. ''The Berthion side focused on destructive power. Ophelia is a skill specialized in targeting vital points instead of a narrow range.'' In fact, in the past, I had bumped into 6 families several times, so I was aware of the pros and cons of the skills that most of them had. Still, seeing it in real life rather than in a game is a bit of a new feeling. What? Do I have to say that it feels like I''ve actually seen a children''s teasing party that I''ve only seen on Viewtube? They do their best in their own way, but from the standpoint of the opponents, only laughter came out. Damn, I still have to do a little bit of tension... . After seeing Elise and Mikhail fighting, everything became boring. Whoa. Jinhyuk took a small breath. Victory is natural. This scene was planned to be edited and uploaded separately, so it required a high level of perfection in terms of directing. ''Perhaps, if it''s a terrain and position like this for guys with that level of skill... .'' It was when Jinhyuk was hard at work drawing a sketch in his head. kukukuku! Suddenly, a violent aura surged. Immediately, a voice filled with anger followed. How dare you think differently! Cute! I''ll tear you to death! The two clans freed mana, which had been captured to the limit. The blades dyed dark red rushed at the same time. A speed that is incomparable to what it was just a while ago. In addition, like a snake finding its prey, the trajectory of the attack was also terrifying. It really deserves to be called a stroke of repentance. But. do they know? The fact that perfection was rather poison. ''It would have been a little more difficult if I had aimed for the arms or legs, but how do you honestly aim for the vital points?'' Jinhyuk injected a different mana into the swords he held in both hands. A perfectly calculated quantity with no error. And. In line with the trajectory of the flying sword. '' now!'' Jinhyuk twisted his body slightly and swung his sword like lightning. Kaga! When the rapier exploded from the front and back collided with Jinhyuk''s swords, the trajectory was very subtle. A knife aimed at the heart from behind slid through his armpits. The sword, which was aimed at the neck from the front, rubbed the nape of the neck and stretched back. Whoops! Whoops! A terrifying cracking sound rang out. Girl... Oh . It wasn''t just the pain that caused the brief elastic to flow. Disappointed that something unbelievable has happened. Doubts about who they are dealing with. And beyond all that, the overwhelming sense of awe is bound to be felt. It must be because of all kinds of emotions. gurggle! Berthion, who had a hole in his heart, fell to one knee. No matter how resilient vampires are, they cannot survive if their heart is destroyed by a sword with ''Star Blessing''. It''s only a few rough breaths. Berthion, who could not let go of his obsession with life, finally fell down on the spot. T-tiring! [You hunted the descendants of the Decasus family, the beings located on the upper floors of the tower.] [You have achieved a surprising achievement.] [This achievement can be inscribed in the ''Hall of Fame'' tomorrow.] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] Several status windows were displayed at the same time. Mana was greatly strengthened due to the ''Essence of Soul'', but catching the existence of the upper classes was a different achievement. For this reason, the value of this video was so enormous that it far exceeded common sense. ''One million coins can be easily drawn, so before putting them on the Hall of Fame, you should edit them properly.'' In the past, it was a form of forced entry into the Hall of Fame, but from now on, it is possible to choose rather than force it. Isn''t the message in the status window actually replaced with the expression ''can do''? ''You will continue to receive the benefits of being inducted into the Hall of Fame. It''s also faster than expected, though.'' Rick even lowered the commission by 80% by clicking the subscription, so the road ahead is solid. Well, it''s coins or leveling up, you''ll have to deal with it later. First of all... . Jinhyuk looked down. There was Ophelia, who was seriously wounded and gasping for breath. ha. I made a mistake. Berthion was instantly killed, but Ophelia deviated 2cm from the vital point. It left a small blemish on the perfect scenario. A monster, a monster... ha ha ha ha. It''s not enough that you just read our attack completely... that you used that to make us self-destruct...? Don''t make me look great like that. I''m sorry I made a mistake right now. I can''t finish it cleanly. That''s the only way it''s disqualified. Isn''t it a virtue that oil should possess to succeed in even the most ridiculous acrobatics? ''No, in a way, this might be a good thing.'' Now that this has happened, I was able to ask a few questions I was curious about. Originally, I was going to ask Michael, but this woman must know something. Jinhyuk squatted down in front of Ophelia. With an innocent smile, he pulled mana in one hand. [Lv8 ''Element of Fire'' is activated!] Whoops! A fierce fire erupted from his palms. I knew it. The sealed element of fire was activated as if it had ever been. Since all the copy conditions have been achieved, the skill seal must have disappeared as well. Now there was nothing to be embarrassed about. "Are you trying to torture me with that?" Ophelia''s pupils trembled slightly. It seems that no matter how long a race may live, suffering is unwelcome. That depends on what you''re doing. I''m going to ask you a few questions from now on, and if you answer me gently, you''ll save your life. Of course, if you keep your mouth shut, I''ll let you experience the torture of stagnant logistics firsthand. Ah! If possible, I''d like to choose the latter. Going too easy is no fun. ...what are you curious about? The place your six families are aiming for. Where is it? Oh, that''s...! Ophelia took a deep breath. He couldn''t even make eye contact properly because he was stabbed at the part he didn''t want to be touched the most. Yeah, would you like to shut your mouth? Then you can''t I didn''t expect it to be easy to open anyway. It''s been a long time since I''ve been through this torture, so my memory is hazy, but if you want it, you can only experience it yourself. Whoops! The fire burned more fiercely. However, Ophelia kept her eyes closed and her mouth firmly shut as she watched the approaching flames. Jijo is there. I like him in his own way. That''s how he looks. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up even more. At the same time. kukukuku! The fire burned the target wildly. Ophelia bit her molars tightly. I thought it would be a huge pain. By the way. uh? No pain was felt. Something is strange. The moment I thought so. Ophelia''s body shook violently. Even before she could open her eyes and balance her body, the cold air that enveloped her body shook her head. with a plop! The ground was turned off, and it fell directly into the ice water. Aaaaah! Ophelia screamed as her throat exploded. Instinctively, he stretched out his hand, but the person up there was Jinhyuk. Oh, there''s something like this. Jinhyuk grabbed a branch from the coniferous tree. And he patted Ophelia''s head. Knuckle! gulp! Ouch! Gagging! Ophelia, who was trying to get up on the water somehow, had to drink another full water. Come on, I''ll ask you again. What floor are you aiming for? Uh huh. Don''t try in vain. You can''t come up anyway. You dare to drink oxygen. It''s a no-brainer story. Cancer, it''s not even the seeds are eaten. Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa not I''m sorry, I can''t hear you very well. I wish you could speak louder and clearer. cackle. thing. Jeongguk is really nice. Aiming at the center of the crown with a branch is strangely addictive. You can do it all day if you want. Note that . This is no joke. OK. Gee, wait! Wait a minute, wait a minute... Finally, Ophelia spoke. Oh. And the goal of the vampires coming out of her mouth was quite interesting. So much so that I had to completely rewrite the board. CH 145 . All-out war (2) The 29th floor... Cool! It''s the 29th floor! It''s the 29th floor! Stop taking it out, please. It looks like it''s going to sink! Ophelia shouted in the most desperate voice in the world. If it''s on the 29th floor... An earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk''s pupil. The 29th floor of the Tower of Trials. How could you not know? What the Decassus and the other five families were aiming for was one of the floors ruled by the ''Empire''. ''This is going to be fun.'' I knew they were doing something crazy, but it must be the Empire. If what this woman said was true, it made sense to some extent to prepare such a powerful army. ''It''s interesting to aim for the floor below where they are, but I''m more curious as to why they''re aiming for an empire with a strong back row.'' Perhaps a great fight awaits. In fact, besides the hungry ghost that Elise had just dealt with a while ago, the family members and more are trying to come over through the gate. Jinhyuk opened his mouth again. What is the purpose of attacking the Empire? Koo, cool! Mo... Purpose? Yeah, purpose. Isn''t there some reason to aim for the 29th floor? For example... in order to reach the top of the tower, I want to weaken the power of the divinities on the 48th floor and the lizard they wield. I mean that''s the reason I do it." Jinhyuk''s insignificant words uttered. Hey, how!? Ophelia''s complexion turned completely white. I swallowed a few gulps of seawater, but there was no time to worry about it. The words that came out of Jinhyuk''s mouth now were words that should never come out. It''s a natural thing. Because the information about the upper floors of the tower was completely unknown even to her, a blood relative of the Decasus family. It''s good to have a lively reaction, but isn''t it a valuable step to prolonging life to answer my questions even one second earlier? I, I don''t know... I don''t know! Really? Really? Hmm. Can''t you think of this? Hold on! Hold on! Jinhyuk grabbed a branch and pressed Ophelia''s crown hard. The head went down into the water and came out over and over again. Knuckle! Knuckle! It''s amazing how much love you have for life and how you keep pouting your lips in the midst of it. After all, that''s why you hear vampires being tough. Sa, save me... feet... Is it a sham? Did this go crazy after drinking a full glass of water? It was when Jinhyuk was trying to inject mana into the branches with his full heart. Foot... Cool! Mung... The syllables that had been cut off from Ophelia''s mouth were connected. hoo. I thought it was an insult. That wasn''t it. Another unexpected word was mentioned. Jinhyuk took his strength away from the branch for a moment. ''It''s a bummer... .'' It''s impossible to track his location, so when I asked him where he was now, he was probably in the Empire. If it was a dragon killing sword classified as a top-notch relic, it would certainly be able to inflict damage to the divinity and the Ancient Dragon in the upper floors of the tower. It wasn''t because it wasn''t a relic that received a blue rating for nothing. Now it feels like the puzzles are coming together little by little. Okay. It was very useful information. Killing Ophelia and leveling up like this could be an option, but unfortunately, it''s a caution to keep your promises. Above all, Ophelia may be used as a card that is quite useful in encounters with the Empire as well as the six families in the future. A rough plan was also drawn up one after another in my mind. Jinhyuk picked up the branches. As long as you don''t interfere with the climb, you''ll be able to survive on your own. I''ll call you back later. Oh! And you''d better run to the owners and not think about it. There is a guy in Gaju who has the ability to see through the ''Stigma of Souls'', so I didn''t label it, but think carefully about it. With those six handsome heads of families. one of me Which one is closer to the devil, and which one to fear more. Hey, hey! When Ophelia read the intention, her whole body trembled. I''m sure you''d understand if I told you about this. Jinhyuk smiled brightly and once again held the sword in both hands. Now, it''s time to put an end to this fight. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Aww! A huge mana and mana clash, and a brief gap after that. " ????!" Alice''s face wrinkled. The battle became more and more disadvantageous as time went on due to mana being depleted in an instant. On the other hand. Uh-huh. Even if there are restrictions, it''s really boring to be like this. Unlike the first time, Michael looked quite relaxed. Thanks to avoiding a head-to-head match as much as possible, the charter gradually leaned to one side, and eventually, the victory reached a point where the victory was tilted to a certain extent. That cowardice hasn''t changed. It''s the same as when you guys locked me in the corridor... I want to cut off the neck right now, but I''m just sorry for this restriction that binds my body. Elise struggled to swallow it. His white hair and blood flowing from his cheeks stood out. Haha. Do you mind. If you were in your prime, I would have turned to dust without being able to last a minute. Jinjo is considered to be the strongest of all time. Alice von Ataraxia. There was not a single vampire who did not know the meaning of the name. Even the noble divinities and ancient servants tried to avoid a head-on confrontation with Elise. However. Isn''t it the present that matters? Exiled lord of Ataraxia. You are not supposed to come out of it. You mean I should have been locked up in darkness forever? Just because of trying to keep my people... no, the tower''s balance? That''s the problem. We have the power and ability to go far higher, so why settle for that stupid peace and balance and rot our potential? No one can reach the 50th floor.... Going to war for that means that everyone will die together. You must know that too, right? No. I don''t know. And the heads of great families think the same as me. Michael drew the line. Everything has already been planned. There is no right to discuss the future, no matter what is left behind in history. so that. Now, I will have to kill you soon and bring the rest of the army. I beg you, please don''t struggle with ugliness. However, you went once, but I want to protect the least honor on the last road you go. Whoops! A heavy energy completely enveloped the rapier''s whole body. The quality of mana, that Yang Saber. Everything overwhelmed Elise. this is the last All objectives of descending to the 7th floor by piercing the heart of the last obstacle that lost power will be declared successful. certainly . it had to be But. Hey. This is another spectacle. Obviously, you must have been bragging about 24 hours a day that you were one of the strongest in the world. Seeing that you couldn''t win even one of those guys, did what you said then mean that you were one of the strongest in the corner? A new voice broke in. It was Jinhyuk. you ! Alice opened her rabbit eyes. You promised to come to help, so I expected you to join me later. no way. I didn''t expect it to come so quickly. This Isn''t it too fast? Against the blood relatives selected and brought by the Decasus family. I have already realized many times that Jinhyuk is amazing, but as it goes on, there are too many things that break common sense. And. This situation was embarrassing for Michael as well. ''stick You mean you couldn''t hold on to it for five minutes?'' Ophelia and Berthion. If it was just the two of us, I thought we would be able to stop it. No, I had in mind the possibility of breaking through, but I never imagined that it would break through in such a short time. at last. This situation has completely overtaken Michael. A perfectionist who always likes to keep everything under control. Because of this, Michael had no choice but to watch Jinhyeok approaching Ellis. Bar, you''re the strongest in every corner! It''s because of my restrictions. If I did it right... I know. It was hard. Jinhyuk lightly tapped the injured Elise''s shoulder. Michael must have suffered some damage as well, so this is enough. Are you going to fight alone? No matter how much you are alone, it''s impossible. Does it look like that? Everyone, of course not! Obviously, it would not have been possible to guarantee a 1:1 match until a while ago. Even if the guy is in a state of being hit by health and mana. However. ''It''s different now.'' It''s because I got ''Soul Vampire'' in order to gain an advantage in the fight. It''s okay. Leave the back to me. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. At the same time. [Loads ''Memories of the World''] A golden parchment unfolded behind Jinhyuk''s back. This is the great library that contains the truth of the world. It is a treasure trove of unique abilities and skills that have been collected while climbing the tower. Pants! A dazzling spark shattered in all directions. This . Michael''s eyes narrowed. He didn''t know exactly what Jinhyuk was trying to do, but he recognized that something unusual was happening. kwaang! Immediately, Michael left his seat. The energy that had been raised to the limit spurted out like lightning. But. Jinhyuk was one step faster. I''m going to fuse ''Soul Vampire'' and ''Soul Sword''. with the end of the word. [Fusion successful!] [You have acquired the skill ''Demon Sword (ħꄦ) (SSS)''!] [[Demon Soul Sword] Acquisition Difficulty: SSS Contents: Tower of Trials 21st floor. It is a Dokmun martial art that is only given to the teachers of the Magyo who belong to Moorim. It is composed of a total of nine Basic Forms, and the last ninth Basic Form has failed to be mastered by anyone except the first founder. The Demon Sword is considered the strongest festival, but it is evaluated as a double-edged sword due to its subversive tendency to neglect defense.] For this very reason, he hung out with the vampires. In order to preempt the skill that can be obtained from a long time behind in a normal way. And to defeat an enemy that would never normally be defeated. The price for hurting our queen mosquito''s heart is... no more, no less, only 100 times. [The unique ability ''Sword Graveyard'' is revealed!] To the swordsman''s talent. [Lv1 ''Demon Sword (ħꄦ)'' appears!] The swordsmanship that even the teachers of the Magic Church had considered in reverence was reproduced. shoot ah... . The surrounding air changed rapidly. Jinhyuk''s feet stretched forward one step. that''s the signal Aww! Wow! A shock as if Taesan had struck reached Michael''s fingertips. great swaying posture. Even the rapier''s unique swordsmanship that repels the enemy''s attacks like flowing water does not work. It was a blow to say that it was truly ignorant. Before he could come to his senses, Jinhyuk aimed his fangs at Michael''s thigh. After focusing his gaze on the twin dragon swords, it was a surprise attack. Kaaan! But Michael reacted to the surprise by a single sheet of paper. Hmm . I mean, it''s surprisingly cold. I didn''t think I''d be able to find a hole in that guy for a while. If you''re going to be honest. So, would you like to say something like this? Jinhyuk slowly opened his mouth. OK. On Michael''s face, who had maintained his composure. "You you fucking mouse-like human ! How else did you know that!" Finally, cracks began to form. CH 146 . All-out war (4) Why are you so surprised? Would it be so horrifying that this isn''t the place where Blood Wayport''s rites are based? The gate that connects the dimensions, the Blood Wayport. Everyone thought that the magic stone that supports the Great Magic Circle is here, but in fact, the place where the magic stone is located is not here. Michael, who was very careful, took out the magic stone separately in case of a single possibility. Without notifying anyone, he hid it in the depths of the 7th floor. However. Jinhyuk was already seeing through the top secret information that even Bertion and Ophelia did not know. I can''t believe it... How can you even know the location of the Magic Stone! "If you fight a lot of guys who use a lot of small heads, you can see the numbers roughly." Usually these guys are conservative and take the extremely safe route. This is to prevent any possible variables in advance. Therefore, from the beginning, Jin-hyuk laid the plate on the premise that there was no magic stone here. Don''t be pretentious. You can''t even know the exact location of the Magic Stone. Never, absolutely! Huh... . Well, from that guy''s point of view, doesn''t it look like a bluff? All human beings who are even a little ahead of themselves will be seen as bluffs with a lot of wind in their lungs. Isn''t that strange? What else do you mean this time? I''ve been in contact with the Frostblade clan at best, so why can''t I see their noses here? There isn''t a single one of them that can be felt around. There was also no sign of the trolls approaching the island. Then the smile disappeared from Michael''s face. I felt that the situation was far more deviated than expected. "You mean you didn''t mean to join me here?" Although Caracal is pretty strong, it''s not enough to turn the tide of battle against you and hungry ghosts. Of course, if I had brought the whole tribe, I could have done a little bit of damage. The result will not change. Most of all, I didn''t convince the Frostblade clan to just use it for something like that. To send it to the place where the magic stone is. To be precise, to gather warriors strong enough to destroy the golems guarding the magic crystal. that was approached. Even all that did you calculate it? Such nonsense . A thin trembling voice. Michael''s composure began to visibly shake. The flawless appearance that I first saw was gone, and sooner or later, one or two flaws were revealed. right at that moment. ''Now.'' Jinhyuk used ''Eyes of Gluttony''. [The target''s ''mana barrier'' shakes violently!] [Luck stats and adaptive stats are activated!] [Lv8 ''Eye of Gluttony'' sees through the target!] [Michael, ????] Age: ??? level: ??? strength ??? Agility ??? health ??? man ??? Unique Ability: ''House of Blood'' skill: Lv?? ''Claws that cover the moon'', Lv?? ''mana barrier'', Lv?? ''mana vampire''... . Because the target has too many skills, it is displayed as folded. [Copy Conditions: Michael is the hound of the Decassus, and is the highest bloodline in charge of the Black Wings. The strongest creature that can only be found in the upper floors of the original tower. If you can survive the battle with this vampire, you will be able to copy one of the skills the target has.] Because Michael was mentally shaken, the status window was partially visible. And the condition that copying is possible simply by survival. Now it''s worth a look. The difficulty is still absurd, but not impossible. It''s about overcoming a difficult enemy with an overwhelming difference... . Because it has already been repeated countless times. The magic circle will break soon. And. From now on, you''re going to hit me in the dust. After speaking, Jinhyuk opened his eyes and ran. The distance narrowed in an instant. The twin dragon sword and fangs moved at the same time. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A huge scar was formed in the place where it swept the ground. As expected. The synergy of ''Mahon Sword'' and ''Sword Graveyard'' boasted a power beyond imagination. Damn it. I''m ignorant and only have three powers...! Michael widened the distance with a tired face. I don''t know. Basically, ignorance is the strongest. The secret of the Demon Sword is defeat. It wasn''t flashy or textbook-like enough to make your eyes widen, but it boasted a relentless attack power that could chew up all the finesse. Pants! Two swords spurted out from the swords. The black river could not completely cover the blade and soared close to 1m. different power. It was not easy for even Michael to handle the sword so freely. Jinhyuk raised the speed by one step. bang! kwaaang! KwaKwaKwa Kwa! Every time the sword and the sword collided, a brilliant spark occurred. face, neck, heart, and stomach. The only places where the swords stretched out were fatal vital points. Therefore, a moment''s inattention or mistake soon resulted in death. Even the blink of an eye. There''s no room to breathe. He only foresaw the danger with the sense of brittleness throughout his body and the experiences he had had in the past. faster. ''A little faster... .'' Jinhyuk swung his twin dragon swords broadly while holding his fangs in reverse. As if of course, Michael erected the rapier at an angle. Kak kak kak! A shift in trajectory was an inevitable result. However, this is not the end. A separation digging into using the wrong beat. The fangs quickly started moving up the slope of the rapier. Kang! Kang! Kaang! Once, twice, and three times. This ! Michael tried to move the rapier urgently, but it was one step late. A fang that rotated like a pinwheel swept through Michael''s neck. But. ''shit.'' Jinhyuk''s face, who had succeeded in the attack, was not so bright. not a direct hit '' Shallow.'' The feel of the hand was not cutting a bone, but just peeling off a few layers of skin. It was ridiculous, but in that brief moment, Michael tilted his head and let the attack flow. I mean, he''s kind of a monster. I thought that if it was the reaction speed, it would not be pushed anywhere, This guy wasn''t too hard. " " Red drops of blood dripped down his eyes. Michael raised his hand slowly. And looked over the wound on my neck. It was undoubtedly blood on his finger. This is really... it''s getting more and more surprising. A human being who hasn''t been chosen yet will hurt me. As if half-resigned now, Michael kept a bitter smile. "I can understand why Elise chose you." Yes. So strong, of course, you have no choice but to be confident. There are probably not many vampires who can beat Jinhyuk 1:1. Even if the target is Gaju''s direct bodyguards with ''black wings''... . However. But don''t be arrogant as if you''ve won everything. It should be overkill, but I haven''t played all the tiles yet. Michael''s voice fell low. At the same time, the energy emanating from his body turned colder than before. [[Michael is Lv??] I use ''nails that cover the moon''!] Michael''s hands were stained black. kukuku kuk kuk! His thin, white fingers had turned into beast claws. The blazing and burning black flames looked far more menacing than when they were holding the rapier. Are you finally ready to start? Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva. Jerrit! Jerrit! Jerrit! A feeling of pressure transmitted through the skin. ''Since I''m serious, it''s definitely different.'' No matter how limited Ellis uses mana and no Noble Phantasm she likes to use, the Jinjo is the Jinjo. This means that any number of enemies can be wiped out. Did not the hungry ghosts actually survive the blow and were annihilated? Still, the fact that Michael fought and defeated Elise alone means that he is a monster of a different standard. You''ll be stronger than any enemy you''ve ever fought. However, it is a mountain that must be crossed anyway. Furthermore. ''The more time passes, the more disadvantaged I am.'' It''s Michael''s side. I didn''t know that I absorbed the essence and strengthened mana, but after the time limit, the gap was bound to widen out of control. In other words. This means that in order to win, you have to make your opponent pour out all the mana that he uses for recovery. That way, you can build the finish as it is when you inflict a fatal wound. Whether or not he knew Jinhyuk''s thoughts, Michael stretched out his nails with a confident face. In the sense of acknowledging you as an enemy, I also brought out something suitable for it. There are no other beasts at all. What do I do because I am ignorant, but you seem to be the most ignorant? I''ll admit I''m inferior. But what can I do? It''s too hard to get along with your guy in clothes that don''t fit your body. "I don''t really know where to put myself when I hear such words from a noble person." Watching Jinhyuk continue to kill, Michael tilted his head slightly. He stared at Jinhyuk intently, as if he were making an estimate. To be precise, it seems to be looking at the lips... . Hmm. It would be better to rip that mouth off. I''m so annoyed that it''s hard to bear. creepy goosebumps arose fault! Jinhyuk quickly lowered his head. At a moment where it could be said that they were almost simultaneous. The beast''s claws scratched the air. The reaction speed is also excellent. Keep your mouth shut when you fight. Then you bite your tongue. Jinhyuk lowered his posture and grabbed his fangs tightly. from below. consolation. The dagger exploded like lightning. By the way. Michael grabbed the whole fang with his right hand. First, I dealt with one. trembling arms. It is not an opponent in grip strength. Despite using ''Giant''s Grasp'', Michael''s power was much higher. kwaang! He counterattacked with the double dragon sword held in the opposite hand, but that too was caught. Pants! They ate each other''s mana with sword and darkness Dou Qi. The corners of Michael''s lips rose upwards. You''ve lost both toys with this. What do you do now? All of your only means of attack are blocked? Dangerous. If it goes like this... . The worries didn''t last long. Jinhyuk, who gave up his twin dragon swords and fangs, summoned the subspace inventory. What appeared beyond the shimmering space. Another relic made from the Spirit Water Pentagris. It''s just a ''molar''. The gap between Michael''s hands was empty as he was holding the fangs and the twin dragon sword. In terms of time, it was less than a second. That''s enough. For the deceased, one second was a time that could be said to be eternity. I don''t know why you''re making such an illusion... A dazzling flash of light was formed by the taut protest. I''m confident that I''m not using a sword for medium and long distances. [Lv7 ''Daylight'' is activated!] [Lv3 ''Red Magic Bullet (ɫħ)'' is activated!] with skill activated. My eyesight turned white. CH 147 . All-out war (5) Chi profit! straight open road. The spot where the snow had evaporated turned red. The activation time of ''Daylight'', which reached Lv7, was extremely shortened, so Michael had no choice but to be beaten with two skills. I did it...not me, that''s right. I''ve fulfilled all the copying requirements. Jinhyuk clicked his tongue briefly. He shouted the flag, and then the habit became entrenched in his mouth. That''s why it''s so terrifying to be a habit. But right then. Whoops! Black nails protruded through the vapor. I''ll kill you! It was Michael who was angry to the very end. It was a little tanned, but it was in good shape. It''s not like it''s equipped with invincible skill. How can you be okay with that? However, there is no bird that can admire that formidable defense. Even in the midst of this right now, the nails were flying in to rip off the whole head. [Lv10 ''Glacier Formation'' is activated!] KwaKwaKwabang! The ice wall that appeared in front of Jinhyuk blocked his nails. However, it was only for a short time. The ice wall was shattered in an instant. Another wall of ice appeared one after another, but it was difficult to even tie their feet up. Blocks of ice fell like glass. Don''t think you can stop me with this one! Michael scatters a red light in his eyes and approaches more quickly. if so. Whoops! Pants... . 5 fireballs and 12 ice arrows appeared over Jinhyuk''s shoulder. Since the effect of the essence was still maintained, it was not a burden to use multiple magic at the same time. However. The fireballs and ice that hit Michael''s body did not inflict any damage on him. Instead of hitting rocks with eggs, it''s like making fried eggs and applying them to rocks. ...Damn it. Are you a monster? I thought only the attack power was strong, but the magic resistance was even more absurd. Unlike the rock giant on the 10th floor, a surprise attack through ''Blessing of the Stars'' will not work for this guy. Jinhyuk injected mana into his molars. I wondered if a soft light was emanating from the longbow. Shortly thereafter, ''red magic bullets'' were blasted out continuously. Puffy! puff puff puff! A red flash of light struck Michael''s body again. [mana is 0.6 .] [Regularity 0.5 .] [mana... .] [Routine .] ''You can''t give him a fatal blow with this.'' Jinhyuk himself knew that better than anyone else. Due to the effect of ''Soul Vampire'', he was absorbing mana and spirit little by little, but even if it takes a thousand years, he won''t be able to run out of mana. Because of that, he was shifting the center of gravity to the place where the fangs were little by little while he was shooting. Now one step. Just one more step forward, and you''ll be able to reach where the fangs are. Jinhyuk lightly twisted the protest. The thread leading to mana rotated counterclockwise. Attack with maximum rotational power. It is an application of the skewer that Alice showed me a while ago. Boo woo woo! The red bullets that had left the demonstration flew low as if they were about to hit the ground. And the moment it touched Michael''s leg. Suddenly, the magic bullet sharply changed direction. It was an angle that could be called a deformity, so Michael did not react. Aww! ! Michael''s head turned wide. A drop of blood trickled down the iron-walled guy''s skin. Now... ! Jinhyuk flew away at once and grabbed his fangs. How dare you hurt my face. Don''t overdo it with a little crunchy. What else will you eat to make it hard like you? It seems like ogre milk won''t work. Should I give Dragon some milk? Not a joke, for real. If you can have that kind of durability, it''s worth visiting Dragon lair again after a while. Yes. It''s that much of a risk, you can take it anyway. by nonsense. ''Isn''t it possible to take a nap while receiving the celestial sword naked?'' A strange pleasure arose from imagining that the robot-like swordsman''s face was rotting because he wasn''t serious. Of course, in addition to that, there were various other cases that could turn the other person''s mind upside down. As Jin-hyeok smirked toward the air, a dark color formed in Michael''s eyes. ...do you think this situation is even funny? Huh? Whoever sees it, the outcome of this fight is decided. I only need to make one successful attack. You must not make a single mistake. Well, it seems like that. So? Then... do something fucking nervous! Please! Aww! In an instant, a huge black flame erupted from Michael''s hand. [[Lv??] ''Hell''s Fire'' will appear!] A skill equivalent to the ''Hell Fire'' used by the Dragon came out. Because Michael wasn''t an ancient-class Dragon, his power would drop. Even so, it was not a level that a player less than level 100 could endure. Even if you rub it, it must be impossible to leave even a bone. kukuku kuk kuk! The black salt was getting bigger and bigger. Now it is almost 2m in diameter. I''ll see if I can laugh even if I get hit by this. Michael''s arm muscles swelled abnormally. And the moment the expansion reached its limit. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Finally, Michael''s best skill was cast. ''If you provoke as expected, you will be caught immediately.'' I don''t know why it''s so hard to get you into a trap anyway. But now there is not much left. You just need to bring it in a little bit more before you can create ''that situation''. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. ''There is no option to avoid.'' Because that skill wasn''t just throwing, it was the kind that could freely control the direction. Until it hits the target, it will follow you to the end of hell. if so . Jinhyuk took out the second relic from the subspace inventory. Armor obtained from the Samurai Guild in the Gray Temple. ''Shield of Perseus''. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo As Jinhyuk concentrated mana on the shield, an indescribable light flickered from the shield. [The relic ''Perseus'' Shield'' answers the master''s call!] [Physical defense and magic defense increase by 300%!] [The special ability ''Athena''s Blessing'' is activated!] [Blessing of Athens] Description: You can reduce the target''s attack power by 50% only once, and temporarily increase the divine-type stats of the shield holder by +100. If it is the strongest spear of Black Flame, the relic that Athenian Blessing is activated is the strongest shield. Jinhyuk completely covered his whole body with a circular shield. Aww! It was then that the shock of the shaking of the earth axis was delivered. Jinhyuk bit his molars tightly. He almost lost consciousness in the unimaginable heat, but somehow he did not let go of the string of consciousness. [Lv5 ''Jintae Cheonghwarang Heart Method'' helps the flow of mana.] [Lv4 ''Mental Barrier'' relieves the target''s pain.] [The unique ability ''Blessing of the Stars'' protects the player''s body.] The unique abilities and skills that have been collected so far have been activated. Multicolored lights overlapped. ''I''m almost there... .'' Jinhyuk''s eyes twinkled in hellfire. The heat that seemed to make the nerves in my body scream when I first felt it slowly subsided. I don''t know if I''m used to it or if the power has weakened. However, it is certain that the opponent''s time will end soon. The moment I thought so. The black flame slowly faded away. As the black smoke disappeared, Michael''s face was seen in great bewilderment behind him. Hey, this is absurd. How could a human being endure something that even the large species that inhabit the upper floors can''t stand! The best skill he had didn''t work. It wasn''t that I was careless. I didn''t spare mana either. Truly an all-out attack. However, even with that, he failed to kill that heinous human. "Is was it really that strong?" Elise, who had been watching all the fights, opened her mouth wide. I had no choice but to do so. Because a human was never pushed back in the fight against the Gaju Guards. It was Alice who had been with Jinhyuk for a long time, but he didn''t even realize that Jinhyuk''s skills were this great. There is only one reason this happened. ''Isn''t it because you''ve never shown your skills before?'' I have to assume so, but the front and back are correct. Climbing the floor... . While facing numerous named monsters, rankers of large guilds, and boss monsters. I''ve never done my best. That was the truth. right then An ominous black flame burned from Michael''s hand. Elise is also the kind that knows. ''Fear of Hell''. Isn''t it a skill that is considered one of the most powerful fire-type abilities among bloodlines? could stop that It cannot be avoided either. Dangerous. must be warned that you have to run away Or, I should rather give him that flame instead. Alice staggered and stood up. However, it was not easy to even control the body with the exhausted body of mana. By the way. The moment when the black flame swallowed up Jinhyuk''s body. Suddenly a strange thing happened. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo With a dazzling brilliance, Jinhyuk began to activate his defense mechanism against the black flame. It was hard to believe, but it was true. Michael was attacking with all his might, and Jinhyuk was receiving the attack from the front. pounding! pounding! pounding! A fast pounding heartbeat. Elise''s whole body trembled with anticipation and excitement. perhaps . very possibly possible. named player. In a way, a weak creature that is nothing more than a microscopic creature. Beyond the Laws and Disciplines of the Tower. Coveting the top of the food chain. And the very time when the black salt has subsided will come. Now! Alice screamed involuntarily. This time it''s my turn. Jin-hyeok, who threw the shield, raked up the ice mana. The attack just did a lot of damage, but the same goes for the opponent. There are not many mana left between each other. And if both conditions are poor... . The one who laughs at the end will always be the one who climbs like crazy. [[Glacier modeling] ''Sword of the Sky'' is activated!] A stream of ice falling from the sky. [[Glacier modeling] The ''Sword of the Earth'' is activated!] A stream of ice rising from the ground came into contact with one another. Pants Tits! Aww! Trapped in a pillar of ice, Michael screamed. what is it I wonder if this is what silent cries are like. However, this cannot keep Michael locked up for very long. A few dozen seconds at most. After that, this monster will start running rampant again. ''I can''t leave it like that.'' Now is the most important time for a perfect victory, not a 50-50 match. jerk. Jinhyuk approached the front of the ice pillar. If they attacked, they were close enough to kill each other immediately. looking so defenseless. So, Michael had no choice but to grab this opportunity. You idiot! You''re walking on your own limbs! With ice that melted in an instant. Michael''s voice resounded. The reason you''re dying today is that you dared to come close to my range! A huge explosion occurred around Michael''s body. CH 148 . short comma (1) kukuku kuk kuk! The size of the huge crater on the ground was unusual. A skill called ''ring of fire''. When activated, it inflicts fatal damage even to itself. The opponent possessed the fatal power that could turn them to ashes. Being swept away at such a close distance, even a cockroach would not survive. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh he finally died Michael let out a sigh as if a thousand-year-old congestion had gone down. Seriously, it was the first time I''ve ever been this tough. Even when I took the test to get the title of Black Wings, I didn''t struggle like this. still. Finally succeeded in killing the opponent. A flame that gradually decreases in temperature. The color, which was close to turquoise, has regained its original red color. Fufu... It was unavoidable that his lips were chapped without realizing it. Elise, you can kill a chicken with just the twisting force, so leave it out of the discussion. Now, after dealing with the ice trolls that are targeting the golems, you need to collect the troops at the gate and prepare for the beginning of the great war. Everything went smoothly. Obviously, it should have ended like that... . right then In the blazing fire, I could feel the popularity. It can never happen, it should never happen. Because there was no living creature that could survive in that fear. However, with the sound of footsteps getting louder as time passed, Michael had to accept reality. Pants. Finely shattered ice powder flew. Among them was none other than Jinhyuk. Uh, how can you no, this is nonsense. It''s impossible. It''s impossible! He is in good shape with no injuries. Even though Michael also suffered enough damage to consume most of his stamina and mana. why the hell Does that mean that the other person looks like that? Jinhyuk shrugged at the question that was close to a scream. It''s understandable to be upset. It''s only one second, but... . "I also have at least one of the strongest shields." The ability obtained after defeating the 10th floor boss monster, the rock giant. ''1 second invincible''. This is the last move I prepared for this fight. Woah ah ah ah ah! Michael shouted. kukukuku! A dark red energy instantly covered the entire hand. Rather than killing the enemy, it was more like an instinct to protect himself out of fear. But, it''s already too late. Because Jinhyeok wasn''t the type of person who would suffer from an attack that lost his sophistication. Boo-woong! Boo Woong! Jinhyuk, who lightly avoided the nail that cuts through the air, blows mana into his fangs. The green blade of the blade began to burn dazzlingly. At the same time. The surrounding air changed rapidly. ''Mahon Sword Dance''. Secret Technique handed down only to the headmasters of the Magic Church. so that. The one who used this sword was the master of magic. Only the master of magic was able to unfold the result of this sword. Formula 1''. This is the first expression of the sword. Although it was evaluated as esoteric, the swordsman''s talent expressed through ''Tomb of Swords'' wiped out the entire process. It felt like a mana that would be appropriate to say that it was both subversive and crazy. Hey, this is absurd... An earthquake struck Michael''s pupil. The instinct that had kept him alive for thousands of years ordered his escape. Now that mana is depleted, he knew that if he was hit by this sword attack, he would never recover. But the body did not move like the mind. The river, which had gathered to the limit, cried even more violently. kukukuku! It was as if Taesan had been compressed into one line. right then As if to announce the completion of the ceremony, mana were released all at once. ''Macheon-il Island''. The strongest sword in magic that transcends the floor and proves that he is the only strong man. this moment right now. It was reproduced through the hands of one player. Sorry! A cut that doesn''t require any modifiers. An undisturbed line crossed horizontally. " " Michael stared blankly at his body. The upper body slowly collapses. Push! Push Shun! Rough blood gushed out in all directions. He is barely balancing, but that is just a struggle just before he stops breathing. Avoiding instant death in the midst of that. Indeed, it is worthy of being called a direct subordinate of Gaju. Ew ...... ...... large. Kulreok! I won it, do not like too much ....... ...... We''ve touched fucking difference or because there is now dead. Michael giggled and laughed as he bit the blood foam. Anyway, I don''t know why these guys are holding so much weight until the end. Hide tightly... so that you can live one more day. Knuckle. Of course, as long as the heads of state see everything through my eyes, it will be meaningless anyway. also. ''I''ve heard that there are people with the ability to share sight among the immediate SS, and this guy was one of them.'' it went fine There will be several people watching and listening together from beyond, so you won''t have to go looking for them and talk about them. I have no intention of hiding. No, even if you''re not so anxious, I''ll come visit you from here soon. what? Michael asked, but Jinhyuk continued speaking calmly. All of the blood relatives who betrayed Ellis... even the heads of state sitting on that phantom throne. Be prepared. The next time we meet, you will be given back your seat as the head of Ataraxia. This is a kind of declaration of war. Is it a warning of what will happen in the future? I dare you to make me deeply regret who you showed your teeth to. [The nobles of the night are enraged.] [Some heads of state express strong hostility toward you.] [The beings at the top of the Tower of Trials begin to watch you.] The vile threats continued. Of course, if I was going to be intimidated by such a thing, I wouldn''t have started in the first place. Jinhyuk swung his sword once more as if it wasn''t worth listening to anymore. Scratch! end with that Michael''s body, which had lost his neck, fell to his knees. Finally, this fight is over. And to prove that fact. T-tiring! T-tiring! T-tiring! More splendid rewards appeared one after another than anything I had ever experienced. [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen... .] [ ] ] [ ] The level has risen!] A whopping 10 levels of rise. Considering that the amount of experience increases dramatically as the level goes up, the experience that Michael gave was at a level that was beyond imagination. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . " ''The hard work is worth it.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips rose with satisfaction. Also, the sweet reward that follows after a bloody battle at the risk has a charm that makes you forget all the fatigue you''ve accumulated over the years. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ; In addition, the conditions for copying with Michael have been passed, so all you need to do is relax and shop for a new skill to copy. ''Hmm. What would you choose?'' Jinhyuk lightly stroked his neck. [The skills that can be copied are as follows.] [''Claws that cover the moon'', ''Dark Dou Qi'', ''Sharing sight'', ''Ring of Fire'', ''Bat Transformation'', ''Intermediate Familiar'' .] Like a direct blood relative, Michael''s skills were not unusual. Because he had actually been in a fight, he knew that fact better than anyone else. ''It can be useful no matter what you copy.'' Above all, it was possible to fuse higher skills by combining unique abilities and skills to be obtained later, so the scalability aspect was guaranteed. " " After thinking for a while, Jinhyuk chose one of the skills. Yes. This is the best choice. [Successful in copying the skill ''Moon Covering Nails (SSS)''!] [The copied skill is saved in ''Memory of the World''.] A skill that can express strength even without a weapon. ''The nail that covers the moon'' will be a hidden card that can prevent Hana. Next, it''s time to distribute the stats. Jinhyuk immediately activated the status window. [Name: Jinhyuk Kang] Gender: Male Age: 27 Level: 55 Strength 22 Dexterity 22 Stamina 31 mana 80 Gap 100 Luck 10 Adaptive 78 Elemental 7.79 Stat Points you have: 39 Coins held: 373,675 Occupation: Rune Interpreter Unique abilities: ''Fusion'', ''Sword Grave'', ''Star Blessing'', ''Anubis'' Judgment'', ''Blood Magic'', ''Mandala'', ''1 second ''Invincible'', ''Thousand Poison'' skill: Lv8 ''Element of Fire'', Lv8 ''Eye of Gluttony'', Lv6 ''Communion'', Lv6 ''Stigma of Souls'', Lv5 ''Reading'', Lv5 ''Shallow Breath'', Lv10 ''Glacier Formation'', Lv7 '' Daylight'', Lv4 ''Giant''s Grasp'', Lv6 ''Chuhon Sword (׷ꄦ)'', Lv1 ''Double Agent'', Lv5 ''Jintae Cheonghwarang Heart Method'', Lv6 ''Sword Demon King Treasure''ħ'', Lv1 ''A hazy body odor'', Lv4 ''Mental barrier'', Lv3 ''Heaven''s melody'', Lv3 ''Diner of another world'', Lv3 ''Red Devil'', Lv2 ''Heavenly Desire'' )'', Lv1 ''Soul Vampire'', Lv1 ''Demon Sword (ħꄦ)'', Lv1 ''Claws that cover the moon'' barrier: The number of barriers learned is too large to ''fold'' state has been switched to. A whopping 39 stats are accumulated. Besides, looking at the abilities stored securely, it felt like the tip of my nose was tingling for nothing. ''haha. That''s crazy.'' What player in the world has so many abilities? Each one of them is a skill that rankers and boss-level monsters can use as their mainstay. ''It doesn''t matter if the Tower of Trials comes to life and more variables are added.'' That kind of thing was good. Unlike the past, it was the same here, armed with better performances. Isn''t there an optimal route that can reduce trial and error, and even the privileges that we received from climbing to the top of the tower for the first time? If you have this kind of situation and conditions and you are not confident, you have no right to say that you are a dead person. Although he hadn''t reached the middle of the tower yet, it seemed that the future was already drawn in Jinhyuk''s mind. ''Stat side... Invest mainly in mana and distribute the rest by 3 points each.'' [Strength increases from 22 to 25.] [Agility increases from 22 to 25.] [Health increases from 31 34.] [Mana rises from 80 to 110.] When the stats were raised, it was realized that everything had run noticeably. Especially the mana part. ''Is it because I raised 30 at a time? Have you changed your feelings?'' I was more confident because I was using the ''Jintae Cheonghwarang Heart Method'' to heal my wounds. Mana that gently circulates every nook and cranny of blood vessels. Now, I was able to operate the heart method naturally, almost as if breathing. Finally, there is an item that can be said to be Michael''s keepsake. Jinhyuk''s gaze turned downward. A black necklace engraved with a unique pattern on a large ruby in the center. ''This is the first time I''ve seen this pattern.'' It was an item that was dropped with a certain probability or was not seen when climbing a tower before. Jinhyuk picked up the black necklace. However, the moment I checked the details of the necklace through ''Eyes of Gluttony''. Ugh? Jinhyuk''s pupils dilated rapidly. I couldn''t help but be surprised. Because one of the contents on the necklace was so shocking. CH 149 . short comma (2) [Powet''s Necklace] Acquisition Difficulty: Overrank Description: This necklace was completed by Powet, a high priest, with the help of divinities. It specializes in ''sealing'', and it can exert a powerful effect especially on dark-type beings. (However, only one target can be sealed with this item.) A special item that can be sealed. ''Is it because you brought Elise back to prison?'' I was a little confused because something so huge came out. Considering the actions and words I''ve done so far, I thought of course he was trying to kill Elise, but he must have had a tailor in mind. ''Is there any reason not to kill him? You must have confirmed that there is a risk of running away?'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. There seems to be more hidden intentions. Why did they decide to keep Alice alive instead of killing her? ''For now, I''ll have to take care of this.'' If it is an item that can seal a high-level vampire, it will be useful in various ways. Jinhyuk put Powet''s necklace in his subspace inventory. timely. Kukuku! The gates of the Blood Wayport began to crumble. Caracal and his followers of the Frostblade clan succeeded in dealing with the golems and destroying the magic stone that was the foundation of the gate. ''I mean, it''s worth using.'' Jinhyuk looked at the fragments of the collapsing gate with a face filled with complicated emotions. I thought that today''s event would change a lot of things. That''s something to worry about later. Yes. At least not today. ''Now I just need to take the phoenix''s feathers and get out of here.'' All the big things have been done. Jinhyuk turned and started walking towards the center of the island. sabak. The quietly falling snow and the sound of stepping on it combined to create a rather quaint atmosphere. How long would you have walked like that? There appeared a place where the white frozen trees grew thickly. A cold, much harsher than anywhere else, pierced my skin. Certainly, it deserves to be called the coldest place on the 7th floor. It was hard to control my trembling body even with the heart method I received from Yoo Chun-young. There''s no such thing as a complete freezer. It''s so cold, I want to eat hot ramen with thick slices of ham on top. If there is sour kimchi and cold rice, there is nothing in the world to envy... . It was a time when I was thinking such nonsense. Whew! A strong blizzard passed by. [The temperature has exceeded -65 degrees!] [Health begins to decrease very rapidly due to the cold!] [There is a risk of severe frostbite!] Status windows with warnings appeared one after another. At the same time, something reddish in the middle of the forest began to appear. ''You''re finally here.'' It was the ''Phoenix Feather'' I was looking for. In fact, an ordinary player would have run away from the cold that penetrated to the bone and ran away. You look like you''re going to freeze to death right now, is there anything that catches your eye on the phoenix feathers and nabals? However, that was the phoenix''s feathers as a defense mechanism to protect itself. ''If you step back, the temperature becomes even lower.'' It was intended that cowards not only deserved the phoenix feathers, but that they would pay the price of perseverance to fools who were full of goodwill. On the other hand, if you go forward through the severe cold, the path becomes a way out. ''It''s easy to say, but I had to freeze to death many times before I figured this out.'' At that time, I had to pay the tuition while losing a lot of experience. Thanks to this, I was able to get a profit that was several times the tuition I had paid now. Jinhyuk took a step forward. [The temperature rises to -55 degrees.] [The speed at which your health is reduced due to cold is significantly reduced.] [The symptoms of frostbite are relieved.] The status window changed quickly, but Jinhyeok hurried his steps with a grim expression still on his face. And finally. It reached in front of the red feather lying in the center. [Phoenix Feather] Acquisition Difficulty: AA (Material Item) Description: Mythical beast One of the feathers left behind by ''Phoenix''. Just by owning it, resistance to cold increases by 500%, and when combined with suitable materials, you can create items with very special abilities. I have really gained a lot by coming here. Raising the 13th level, of course, collecting new items and skills. Various additional items were obtained as well. ''I got the Caracal and Frost Blades clan, and Ophelia can also be used as a hand, so this one is pretty cool too.'' Well, there''s nothing wrong with perfection. So Jinhyuk was sure. The fact that among all beings in the present tower, the sweetest sucker of honey is none other than himself. The 39th floor of the Tower of Trials. Several men and women were gathered in the old castle, illuminated by the cool moonlight. Beings with snow-white hair and reddish eyes. A vampire named Noble of the Night. And among them, these were the heads of the six great families. On a large table lit by soft candles, various delicacies that can only be found in the Tower of Trials were lined up. The crystal cup was filled with a rather sticky reddish liquid. However. Despite all kinds of pleasure, the faces of those who sat on the chairs did not look so bright. I had no choice but to do so. Because everyone was gathered here not just to enjoy the supper. Things are getting in trouble. I''m sure Michael will fail... A middle-aged man with an impressive beard opened his mouth. Then, as if waiting, the rest of the headmasters added one word at a time. I was surprised too. One of the bodyguards who received the title would be attacked by something like a human... It''s still strong. The skill itself is amazing, but the sense is crazy. To be honest, the timing of using the skills seems to be higher than me? It''s because the mana isn''t high. A woman with short hair and a woman with long straight hair reaching her waist expressed their feelings. That was then. Everyone''s eyes are twisted. How many times have I not told him? He''s not that great, he said it was a mistake to entrust it to the idiots of the Decassus. It would have been running smoothly." A man with a sharp impression trembled with ease. OK. Did you dare insult the Decasans! Anger erupted immediately. kukukuku! The table began to vibrate violently. Kak! Clink! Dishes fell to the floor and shattered. It is almost suffocating to live that fills the inside of the castle. Hmm. I must have forgotten about it because of senility. Do you think you can beat me? The Decassus toothless tiger? You seem to have forgotten because it''s been a long time. Who was the biggest contributor to dominating this floor? KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The mood was getting worse. Now the tangible mana has grown so large that they gnaw each other''s skin. Among the Jinjo, the lords who have reached the apex are trying to fight. It was obvious that a castle would disappear entirely. at last. It''s your freedom to fight, but you''ll also have to take responsibility for it. A middle-aged man who had opened his mouth at first intervened. startled The movement of the two heads stopped. The six states were in an equal position in terms of form, but there was only one. This man was an exception. Excension of Ataraxia. A being who succeeded Elise as the head of the Ataraxia family. The nickname ''existing strongest Jinjo'' is not for nothing. More than anything else, the most important thing for us now is to talk about the future. Isn''t it when we are fighting each other for strength? Well, that''s right. I was a little annoyed because things got messed up. So please don''t lower your voice like that. " I agree. Let me take care of myself too." The two heads of state subtly lowered their tails. When the situation calmed down, Axencion took a sip of the blood from the crystal goblet. It was the only unbreakable cup on the table. As we all know, the resources used in this incident are no joke. We may not have intervened in the lower floors of the tower in the first place. Originally, the existence of the upper layer should not intervene in the lower layer recklessly. To twist it exceptionally, it required a reasonable price. A large amount of coins, magic crystals, or relics that fit them. The six families have poured out unimaginably enormous resources for this task. There is only one reason. To increase your power and go to higher floors. And. To challenge the last floor of the tower once again... . However, this is a failure. As long as the Blood Wayport has fallen, it will be impossible to gather enough troops to attack the Empire. Yeah. Well, does that mean we''re going to give up on the plan altogether? asked the short-haired woman. no, The corners of Exencion''s lips twisted slightly. Write another way. It won''t be as comprehensive as it is now. There is a law in the world where there is a shortcut, not a hole. A break that came after a fierce battle. All those who successfully completed their respective roles gathered at the freshwater lake to celebrate. Cheon Yoo-sung and Teresa, Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min also relieved the bitterness of the fierce battle. Even the ice trolls of the Frostblade clan enjoyed the freedom they had finally regained. And Jinhyuk. In order to properly release the long-awaited hoepo, he showed the skills that he honed in a short period of time. [You used Lv3 ''Different World Restaurant''.] A skill that can satisfy the tastes of various races. The effect had already been proven against the elves who had lost their appetite for food. He couldn''t prepare much because of the harsh environment, but Jinhyuk prepared a pretty plausible dish using fish and edible plants from freshwater lakes. When combined with the wine of the Frostblade tribe, a wonderful meal was completed. Glory to the great chieftain Caracal! For the people who gave us freedom! Oooh! Loud shouts erupted from all over. Most of the content was praising Jinhyeok and Caracal. Thank you... Human. Caracal also expressed his sincere gratitude. Even as he spoke, his eyes trembled slightly. for a long time. How could they not feel grateful to the benefactor who saved them from living as slaves? But. ''Well .'' I''m sorry that I have to say this at times like this, but I can''t help it No, well. There''s nothing to be thankful for. Jinhyuk smiled and handed him a piece of paper. What is this? What? bill paper. The cost of raw fish caught in the freshwater lake and various ingredients collected from various places. You can''t ignore the labor cost for cooking there. Oh. sure. Among them, the price for finding freedom would not be daring to be converted into money. "Hey, such an absurd request 20,000 Spirit Stones 20,000? Besides, if you don''t pay, you''ll get 2,000 every month. Oh, you''re a slave. If you hear from the Ministry of Employment and Labor, they are yelling at you. This is truly a fair price for work. Originally, you should get 50,000, but I got it out of my acquaintance DC, so I took it out. Jinhyuk let out a small sigh. No, seriously. Sometimes I wonder if I''m spreading it too generously. ''If the world was full of people like me, there would be no need for laws or police. Not cancer.'' CH 150 . short comma (3) My busy hands have slowed down a bit. It was mostly full, thanks to the disappearance of additional food orders. Eududuk! Jinhyuk stretched and relaxed his stiff body. If you''ve done this, you won''t need to make any more. Now is the time to slowly quench your hunger. I had to talk to my co-workers who worked hard at the same time. As I walked through the trolls, I saw some familiar faces. brother! brother! Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa, whose faces were red from drinking, waved their hands. Here! Come this way. Theresa also moved her body and made a place for her. Glad to see everyone is okay. Only one. " " Except for the leech guy who sits down with a fat expression on his face. Hey. I''m here. Huh? I''m here? " " Still not pretending to see This isn''t a ghost. It was as if he had completely erased the existence of this place in his mind. Are you doing this by going to the Chinese children and making them suffer? Or is it because you have them recite the lines I wrote down? ...this damn thing...! Cheonyuseong''s pupils dilated rapidly. Now comes the response. Is the boy getting pissed off over something like that? Thanks to him, things went smoothly, so it was done. Do you know how shameful I was to do that? You don''t know what it was like to say something so strange that I couldn''t raise my head again! Cheon Yoosung raised his voice. My heart was pounding up and down violently. Some trolls turned around in surprise, so it seems they were quite excited. But that''s it. Yeah, I know. Jinhyuk nodded his head calmly. Who do you think you are dealing with now? side selling? shame? shameful? That''s it, I''m the one who filled the Naver Cloud space to the point where it couldn''t handle it. I am the one who decorated countless black histories, starting with ''The Sunset'' and Colonel Timo. There was a time when I was walking around the tower with a barbarian coat and a cigar in my mouth. What are you afraid of? ''shit.'' I felt sad after saying something, but Jinhyuk struggled to put that feeling aside. ...Yeah. It''s my fault for mentioning pride or honor against you. I was stupid. Ahem. I''m not praising you! Cheon Yoo-seong sharpened his molars. There are a lot of things that accumulate inside of me because I only get hit every time. also. Sometimes you just need to loosen up a bit. ''I planned to avoid in-house welfare as much as possible, but I should use it when I do use it.'' Myung-saek is one of the outside directors of Goin-Mul Corporation, and it was difficult to make him feel hostile towards the company. Huh. I see. You''ve worked hard all this time, so I''ll give you one thing you want. Tell me. What do you want? You want it? Yes. Jinhyuk nodded, and Cheon Yuseong stood up as if there was nothing to see. The sword he was wearing around his waist was stretched out in front of him. That''s what the tip of a knife is like. What are you asking for the obvious? Pull out your weapon right now. Hey, you ignorant bastard. I almost died fighting a little while ago, but what are you fighting for? Besides, didn''t you want to defeat me in front of a lot of people? Take a look around. Where are all the ''people'' here? In a situation where everyone is full of trolls, whoever wins is only a battle with only scars. There is a way to upload it as a video, but that would not be the method Cheon Yoosung wanted. ''Like we fought at the old prom. Having such an appropriate stage and audience is probably the most preferred.'' Jinhyuk delved into Cheon Yoosung''s mind. Cheon Yuseong lowered his sword slightly. ...Then, what are you proposing? A confrontation doesn''t have to be a one-on-one fight to death, right? This is not the Roman Colosseum. It''s not wise to just use a knife ignorantly. "Are you going to see the match in a different way?" Yeah. For example... Ah! A hunting match would be nice. I have to eat tomorrow anyway, but whoever catches the stronger and bigger one wins. How about it? ...Okay. This time, I''ll prove that I''m higher. Cheon Yoosung nodded his head. His eyes blazed with enthusiasm, a completely different look from before. "Yoosung hyung. I think I''m going to lose after trying again anyway, so why don''t you just give up now?" That''s right. Oppa can''t do Jinhyuk oppa. As if they had stopped talking, Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa spoke one word at a time to Cheon Yoo-seong. Mr. Yoosung. Be strong. On the other hand, Teresa clenched her fists and sent a message of support. When I saw the warm sight, it seemed to warm my heart. Jinhyuk raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at his father. For reference, strong game that is edible in the 7th floor is mainly in the sea. It is difficult for seawater species to catch, but the taste is amazing. Sea Dragon Titelus. Although it is over 10m in size and has a very ferocious character, it has been quite a popular ingredient amongst people due to its firm and chewy flesh like an eel. I don''t need hunsu. Because I know that much. Nothing. There must be something the great swordsman doesn''t know. Yeah. Keep smiling. It''s me who catches the biggest sea dragon. While Jinhyuk smiled bitterly, Cheon Yoosung activated his skill. [Chun Yuseong activates Lv7 ''Self-protection strength''!] A soft light enveloped her body. Usually, ''self-defense force'' is usually used to defend against enemy attacks. The self-defense ganggi learned by Cheonyuseong could be used to protect the body from water pressure or to store a small amount of oxygen due to its unique internal hole. The conditions to be active in the water were thus prepared. Cheon Yu-seong jumped into the water without hesitation. with a plop! The waves crashed for a while, but only for a short time. Cheonyuseong disappeared into the depths of the sea in an instant. "Aren''t you going to come in, Jinhyuk?" Teresa, who was watching, tilted her head. In hunting competitions, time is life. It was possible to find good prey by moving even a little faster and to preempt even a little bit better terrain. It is very common sense. what if . If you agree to a fight, that is. Um. I''m just going to assume he''ll win this fight. I''m abstaining. Jinhyuk shrugged. Yes? "I lost." Are you going to freeze to death in this cold? will you go in there? In particular, fighting sea monsters for their lives in salty water is definitely a specification. Oh, no. You were thinking like this from the beginning? To make Cheon Yoo-seong hunt alone? I just wanted to eat the sea eel. There''s nothing like that to recover energy. He won the match at the same time, so this is a win-win, isn''t it? There''s no way you would like such a ... a dreary victory, right? That''s right. However. Originally, you can''t have everything in the world. Since you''ve learned such a valuable lesson, that guy should be thankful to me. Khhhh. By the way, the water is really deep and blue. Just looking at it makes your bones freeze. It''s a feeling. Jinhyuk looked at the lake and clicked his tongue. And. Everyone''s faces looking at Jinhyuk like that were contorted in surprise and shock. -also. My brother... . no. this is bro - Yoosung oppa, you idiot. That''s why I don''t want to fight. Why can''t you give up even though you''re being crushed every day? - Mr. Cheon Yoo-seong. cheer up. I''ve had it a few times too. just Giving up makes it easier. - It''s the first time I''ve felt pity for the human race. That''s enough to make even a vampire cry. There were slight differences, but there was one thing that everyone had in common. If there is a living devil in the world, it will be right in front of you. Hot grilled eels~ Delicious grilled eels~ On Sundays, Gum-seong is the chef. While Cheon Yoo-seong eagerly brought his prey, Jin-hyuk sat down by the hot bonfire. And he warmed himself up with the warmest face in the world. As usual, the Tower of Trials community was fighting to catch the attention of millions of people. [[The world''s first 5th floor ''Clockwork Labyrinth''] Attack video.] [Top''s history lecture with the handsome ranker of the Breming Guild] [#No.1 Ranking #Olympus Guild #7th Great Guild of the World #Purple Grade_Relic] provocative title. Provocative thumbnails. Dangerous related search terms. It barely crossed the water level as if he was desperate to increase the number of views. It''s a natural thing. In order to survive in a market where the supply is endless, a stimulating taste was essential. and ''Dangun'' Baek Jin-ho, one of the main guilds, also prepared a secret video that can stand out in this fierce world. That''s right, the video of the battle with the hidden named monster on the 7th floor. ''Ice Drake'' The raid was definitely fierce enough to tremble, but the Dangun Guild''s 1st raid succeeded in hunting. Now, if you consume Drake''s Heart, you will be able to significantly increase your resistance to the cold attribute. We are the first to break through the 7th floor. Finally, we will be able to wash away our reputation as the king of military officers. The corners of Baek Jin-ho''s lips went up. My heart raced wildly with anticipation and excitement. It was really hard. Haha. It was hard to die, but I''m glad it ended safely. We succeeded because it was us. If it were another guild, we wouldn''t have been able to even get near Drake and have been annihilated. Of course. Because 99% of the guys didn''t even know it was there in the first place. The rest of the engineering team also applauded and praised each other for their hard work. How''s your reaction? Baek Jin-ho opened his mouth carefully. Then, a man with multiple screens on the screen grinned. "I worry a lot about hyung too. How far does that old woman have to go?" Stop nagging and talk. Good or bad? It hurts my mouth to say two. I''m completely in the mood. Dangun Guild and Hidden Monster met. Even if you don''t attract a lot of aggro, of course you can''t help but rise to the top ranking. In fact, the reaction of the community was exploding without being hot. -Yasuo + Yone: Wow. Was there such a place on the 7th floor? -Thanos: I saw it for the first time too. I think it''s a hidden route, but Dangun is still Dangun. -Line9985: Look at the raid sum. Hundreds of people can only admire how they move like machines. -Mochi-tteok Welsh Corgi: ??, really. There is a reason why we have so many subscribers. Amazing, Great. There was nothing else to say other than that. It was hard to follow the comments that ran dozens of times every 10 seconds. great. Only when he saw the splendid index did Baek Jin-ho finally release his stiff expression. When it comes out like this, the jackpot won''t explode unless it''s about to explode. By the way, are you still unable to contact Jang Eun-seok? It was cut off a few hours ago. Maybe it was something like going into a cave or a coniferous forest or something like that. Or a blizzard came. As you know, there are many places on the 7th floor where communication is not possible. Hmm . Ah. Don''t worry too much. He''s not a guy who''s going to be easily beaten anywhere. Well, that''s it too. Baek Jin-ho nodded as if in agreement. But right then. T-tiring! A new video has been uploaded to the Tower of Trials community. [New video has been updated in ''Hall of Fame''.] An earthquake occurred in everyone''s pupils. I had no choice but to do so. It''s not just an update, isn''t it a video uploaded to the Hall of Fame? brother! I know! I''m watching too! The first place that changed in an instant. I could feel the viewers moving frantically towards their new prey. Damn! Damn it! Who the hell put red pepper powder at such a time! Baek Jin-ho screamed like crazy. But. The moment you see the continuous status window. Oh . [The owner of this video is a Korean player. This is Jinhyuk Kang.] Baek Jin-ho had to feel everything collapsing. CH 151 . Masquerade (1) [The video is played.] That short sentence... . I didn''t know it would come so desperately. Baek Jin-ho looked at the screen with a white face. Hey, this can''t be... salivation from the mouth. What was shown in the video was truly astonishing. Ugh! Wow, what kind of ice trolls are like that? The players of the Dangun Guild, who were watching the video with Baek Jin-ho, also screamed. He knew that Ice Trolls belonged to the strongest axis in the lower floors. However, the guys Eun-seok Jang is dealing with now are very different from what he knew before. A sense of pressure that is transmitted beyond the video. strong. And among them, one troll, which was much bigger, was quite different. "Oh my God, even with that number of people." Um, it''s not at the level of being pushed. Totally... The woman who was about to say something quickly blurted her tail. It''s because I couldn''t say ''I''m completely playing with it''. But, who could blame her? Even in everyone''s eyes, it was clear that the Dangun Guild''s raid was being smashed without even the slightest resistance. By the way. The real problem started right here. Even though the ice troll presumed to be the chieftain did not kill the players of the Dangun Guild. Rather, Jang Eun-seok caught the young ice troll''s cub and threatened him. -Gwangmori Anne: Is it a real story with Inseong? -Eat mommy''s ashes: What... Winning doesn''t matter. Reid''s success depends on it. -KKK1004: ??. I get it, but it doesn''t look good. Do I really have to put up with being behind in my skills? -Bug sucking player: What do you mean? Nothing is more important than winning. Don''t be clumsy. If you die in search of honor, will you take responsibility? -Demon King leveling up with Mugong: There seems to be a difference in taste. But not good for me. I didn''t know it was like that in a third-rate guild, but I didn''t know that it was like that in Dangun. 1st place should taste like 1st place. - Whoops, why?: That''s right. I think that if you are the strongest in Korea, you should not cross the line even in adverse situations. The 7th largest guild in the world. And the undisputed number one in Korea. Taking on this title required a lot of responsibility. Even if it was considered unreasonable, it was the weight of the position that had to be embraced. But that stupid bastard had torn down the painstakingly built tower. At this level, it''s not like it''s been painted, but it''s been completely painted over. Because of this, Baek Jin-ho couldn''t control his anger and ran wild on the road. Ahhhhh! KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The whole stalactite was cut off with a heavy roar. Heo Eok. Heo Eok. Heo Eok. I... bastard. Send the kids right now and catch them. It doesn''t matter if they''re on the top of the tower instead of on the 7th floor, so catch them now! Baek Jin-ho screamed like crazy, but no one tried to move. Hey, you bastards, I''m telling you now... Tongue, bro...! The man who was looking at the screen swallowed dry saliva. "Look at this look at this." Where the finger was pointing, there was a very familiar man. Only then did Baek Jin-ho realize the situation. Were you uploading a video aiming for this...? The nightmare isn''t over yet. It''s just just begun. The screen was switched. It was Jinhyuk who appeared. Jin-hyeok, who quickly overpowered Jang Eun-seok, entered into a diary with the chieftain. Uh, great. Damn it. I just put some paint on. How could a human move like that? To fight alone, even when the raid team can''t even attack... Exclamations broke out. The battle between the chief and Jin-hyeok is truly a dragon and a tiger. In the eyes of everyone, it was a close battle in which a single mistake was the difference between victory and defeat. However, only one. ''no.'' Even after seeing the same scene, Baek Jin-ho spit out a completely different kind of exclamation. ''Where the hell do you see that it''s boiling?'' Most of them didn''t seem to notice because of their clever use of editing skills. Baek Jin-ho, a top ranker, narrowed the gap between the two by looking at only a few movements. A cat enjoying the nightlife and a rat struggling desperately. that it is the relationship between the two. And to support that expectation. As time went on, Jinhyuk began to tap and press the chief. Of course, he did not forget to satisfy the five senses of the audience with a suitable directing and splendid performance. Proof that every move and even every line is a perfectly calculated script. -Glamorous Anne: Wow. tired The best in Korea! -Eat Mom''s Ash Dirt: Korea''s strongest? Even if I search all over the world, there is no ranker who can fight like that. -KKK1004: ????. I''m a big fan of Kang''s video, and I was incredibly strong from the beginning, but what''s even more surprising is that when I see the next video update, I''m much stronger. -Bug sucking player: But, how many floors have you ever climbed a tower with rotten water like that before? -Demon King leveling up with Mugong: According to the currently known information, the highest climber is up to the 20th floor. Maybe that''s it. -I''m Park Hyukgeose!: That''s just a rumor. Now look at the players level. Doesn''t it seem like a miracle to get to the 10th floor? -Beauty salon prayer meta: Well, it seems that even the highest ranker could not get past the 20th floor. - Sae Young Eon Hwan: Well. If it was Kang Jin-hyuk, he might have gone even further. -Howl''s Moving Backcountry: Anyway, it''s clear that he''s a player to look forward to. The temperature difference from the video uploaded by the Dangun Guild is extreme. It was hard to follow even Baek Jin-ho with hundreds of comments per second. ''Are you saying that even in raids where other people risk their lives, they fight while arranging for the video to be uploaded already?'' Baek Jin-ho bit his lip. It''s something that''s totally unacceptable. My stomach churned with jealousy and awe, but my eyes continued to stick to the screen without my realizing it. because it was attractive. And because it was so overwhelming. They even forgot the fact that they were in a competitive relationship. While all guilds and people around the world are paying attention to the player Jinhyuk Kang. Jinhyeok, who is at the center of the topic, is currently going through a painful time. ''I''m crazy, why do I have to say that.'' It was good until I broke up with my party and came out of the tower with so much effort. Yes. Up to that point, it was perfect as a plan to relieve the old addictions. the problem is . Fufufu. Truly, this should be enough for a carriage suitable for this noble body. It''s a giant mosquito with a smile on its face right now. Alice nodded her head as if she was satisfied. Currently, she is riding the ''Apollon IE''. It was the only hypercar in Asia. It''s a monster among monsters worth 3.6 billion won in price alone, but since I bought it with a few gems casually tossing it, it''s likely to cause an uproar. India and everything complicated procedures were omitted because it was an S-class business card, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Ellis was very pleased with the newspapers she couldn''t have inside the tower. ''I didn''t have to say it''s okay to do anything I want to do because I''ve worked hard.'' Last time I bought everything, so I thought I wouldn''t do ignorant shopping anymore. Apparently, he looked down on Ataraxia''s greed too much. "You are you going to write everything you bought last time?" "I will never put on clothes or jewelry that I have worn once again." It seems like I wear the same thing every day, but... Did Jinhyeok''s words get his vote? Suddenly, Elise''s eyes widened. Hey, there are several sets of the same thing! A voice that sharpens in an instant. Yes. you know you know What a ridiculous amount of money this is. Yes. Yes. I''m sorry I didn''t see you. Why don''t you buy the country so soon? Then everything in the land will belong to the noble Ellis. Hmm. It''s a country... But it doesn''t make sense that there isn''t a kingdom like me. It wouldn''t be a bad idea to set up a branch of the Ataraxia family in the human world. Build a castle... " " At the point where I was seriously considering this, there was no reason to talk anymore. Jinhyuk let out a small sigh and let Elise delusional for a while. Alice, unaware that she was left alone, fell into the imagination of building her own kingdom over and over again. But right then. T-tiring! A status window appeared in front of Jinhyuk. [An invitation has arrived from Rick Hennessy.] [If you bring this invitation, you can participate in the ''Masked Ball'' held in the grand banquet hall on the 1st floor of the Tower of Trials.] [Masked Ball] Description: It is a kind of social gathering with the top rankers designated by TOP. In addition to exchanging information with each other, various sub-events are prepared, so we ask for everyone''s participation. (Please note that the ball will be held at midnight today.) ''Oh.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. If it''s a masquerade, it''s one of the event quests in the Tower of Trials. I didn''t know that what usually happens when I have to go to the 25th floor is already popping up. ''Well, it''s probably better to do it sooner rather than later, like before.'' In the past, when Jinhyeok reached the 25th floor, there were only a handful of sand left by the number of people playing the Tower of Trials. Was it all that newbies who sometimes wondered what this game was or BJs who were making a fuss about developing rare content came in from time to time? Thanks to that, they said the name was a prom, and the interior was decorated magnificently, firecrackers were set off, and a whole lot of riots were made. In fact, only one person came to the banquet hall. Not three, not two, just one. Yes. ''Damn me alone.'' In the end, I remember dancing alone while looking in the mirror in an empty room, and then I got so mad that I burned down the entire ballroom. Jinhyuk, who had been lost in thought for a moment, shook his head. ''Let''s forget about the black history now.'' The situation is completely different now than it was then. This time, many players were climbing the Tower of Trials. ''Besides, the fact that you can meet top rankers from all over the world is definitely an attractive offer.'' I met Namgungcheon on the 7th floor, but the opportunity to get acquainted with promising players from Japan, North America and Europe didn''t come often. Of course, when I say face-to-face here, I don''t mean to laugh and socialize. Unique abilities and skills that make you covet just by looking at them. I mean, put a spoonful on the best buffet you can get it. The worries didn''t last long. Jinhyuk hurriedly opened his mouth. Elise. Huh? Let''s do some shopping and get ready to go. We have to go back to the tower before sunset. What, what? I still have a lot of stuff left to buy!? And did you forget that we had chicken, giblets, salmon, and beer to eat all together? Elise was so startled that she nearly smashed the hypercar''s window. It''s not a joke, it''s to the extent that the wings hidden behind his back are trying to show off. If not, the raids of large guilds nearby would have flocked to this place. "Joe take it easy." Careful or whatever. What about my rice! That''s right, I''ll buy you as much as you want later. There''s something much more important than that. There is actually one interesting point about this masquerade. Of the two, no one knows. Even one of the organizers, Rick Hennessy, doesn''t know a point. CH 152 Masquerade (2) The first floor of the Tower of Trials is the most complex in many ways. It was the entrance for players from all over the world to enter and the field where they could hunt was spread out. A ''neutral zone'' that monsters cannot access, like where Jinhyuk and Elise are now. Also, because they were together. Are you here? Alice looked around with a curious face. Only 50m high. On the other side, the invisible outer wall exuded a tremendous sense of intimidation. That''s right. There''s going to be a masquerade here. Jinhyuk nodded his head. It''s been a long time since I''ve come back, so it''s a new feeling It must have played a part because I had grown so frantically and couldn''t afford to catch my breath while climbing the tower. [You have entered the neutral zone ''Nameless City''.] Upon entering, a very interesting scene unfolded. murmur murmur. The inside is crowded with players from all over the world. However, what was unique was that they were not players, but mixed beings in the middle. Like a ghost, only clothes floating around caught my attention. Those guys. Aren''t they human? They''re the minions of the middle managers. They''re mainly in charge of city-wide miscellaneous tasks. Most players didn''t even know there was such a thing as a middle manager, so they don''t know these detailed settings. I''d probably just think of them as NPCs in the tower. ''Of course, the players who received the invitation will now notice about its existence.'' Jinhyuk walked down the street with the corners of his mouth raised. If you want to attend a prom, of course you will need to dress appropriately. The place where the footsteps stopped was a clothing store in the corner of the alley. It was not very conspicuous compared to other places, but this was a shop run by a craftsman who only knew. Well, I didn''t choose this place just because of my skill in making clothes. Rumble! The door opened, revealing a goblin with green skin and a small stature. And. I also saw the appearance of a very familiar man. What, did you receive an invitation too? Well, since the sword castle... is the sword castle, it''s only natural. Fragment-like beautiful appearance and unique sharp atmosphere that no one can easily approach. it was heavenly Cheon Yu-seong, who was standing on a circular stepping platform and entrusting himself to the goblin altar priest, opened his eyes. you! Just a while ago, while doing a hunting showdown or something, he threw people into ice water. The person who cooked and ate only the prey as it is and then disappeared. Already, the culprit with 50,000 ugly hairs is in front of her eyes, so her bulge is inevitably soaring. Come on, wait! I know you''re upset. Listen before that. It''s not the first time I''ve been hit by your gray tongue, do you think it''s going to happen again? As if there was nothing more to hear, Cheon Yuseong reached out towards the sword he had placed on the table. air frozen in an instant. If you make a mistake, you can get a knife here. Hmmmm. It''s difficult for both of you to fight here... The goblin tailor was also fiddling with the glasses he was wearing. After all, the civilized man left the cultured thing in the poppy''s bowl next door. The fact that such a guy becomes a doctor who deals with the lives of future patients is just amazing. I''ll have to dry it right now though. If there really was a fight, I''d go from the jail in the tower, whether it was a ball or a ball. No, it''s real this time. I was still trying to get you a kendo from the prom. Barter! Yeah. That''s it! Jinhyuk hurriedly shouted. Then Cheon Yu-seong stopped. Barter? Yeah, man. You know that hyung cares deeply for you, right? I''ll get you a decent one instead of such a fussy thing. I''m saying this because you don''t know much about this sword. At least on the 10th floor... It''s not bad to have the option to increase cutting power by 30% if you attack 3 times. But with that, you''re going to struggle in ''there'' on the 8th floor right now? Uh, how... The startled Cheon Yu-seong tried to say something, but then he blurted his tail. Yes. This damned dead person would know what kind of sword it was just by looking at the shape of the sword. ''Besides, I was even predicting where I was going next.'' Not some kind of foresight ability. At the thought that every thought and move was being read, Cheon Yoo-seong''s self-esteem was crumpled. But, there is nothing you can do. Actually, the labyrinth on the 8th floor is not easy to break through at the moment. If I could get a better weapon... . This time, I have no choice but to fish for that horse. ''Whoa. Let''s calm down.'' And be careful. Cheon Yu-seong cleared his breathing. It is necessary to follow the memories that have already been suffered countless times, and to make up for the loopholes perfectly. It was only then that I was able to escape from that terrible devil. Okay. Really. I really believe in the last Treasured sword. Don''t worry. The national anthem even has 4 verses, will I ever fool you again? This time, I''m going to get a really useful sword and hand it over. It''s a human psychology that even if you can''t do it 10 times, it will melt if you do it well once. Bad boys aren''t popular for nothing. Furthermore. ''I wouldn''t doubt it if it was surrounded by superficial reasons like this.'' In fact, there was a hidden reason for giving me the sword for free. That is, Cheon Yu-seong had to go through the cumbersome labyrinth on the 8th floor to be able to focus solely on training on the 15th floor. This is because, by focusing on training, you have to acquire a skill that only cultivators can acquire, so that you can copy that skill. For the same target, there is a 90-day grace period for copying, but at that point, the cooldown will be sufficient. ''I''m not going to let it go this time. I will definitely give you the sword.'' ''Fufu. Come on grow up Skill shuttle that will decorate my status window.'' with each other having different thoughts. The cooled air was gently released. By the way, did that person also come with an invitation? Cheon Yoo-seong glanced at Elise, who was behind Jin-hyuk. Elise had been watching the nervous battle between the two with excitement for a while. Yes. Jim also... Ah. He''s here to attend the ball too. Jinhyuk intervened quickly. If it had been a little late, the metabolites suffering from secondary disease would have flowed out without filtration. ...that''s right. I thought he was an unusual player from the 7th floor, but which country do you belong to exactly? Well, that question is quite embarrassing. Of course you can''t tell the truth. Lu, Lou... are you a maniac? Romania? What!? It''s not about whether it''s Romanian or what, but the great... Eup! Once again, Jinhyuk covered Alice''s mouth. About that place. Maybe it''s because he''s a descendant of a fallen aristocrat in the past, so his pride is ignorant and he''s shocked that he''s talking nonsense, so please understand. Well, okay. I''m done, so I''ll go see it. Let''s do the Treasured sword again at the prom. Cheon Yu-seong turned off his interest in Ellis without asking any further questions. And paid the goblin tailor for the suit. I have confirmed 2,500 coins. Then, I will send the finished suit to Cheon Yoo-seong''s personal subspace inventory. The goblin bowed politely. After a while, Cheon Yu-seong goes out of the store. Can I match the suits for the two of you to go to the prom too? In my opinion, it seems better to unify all the clothes and shoes in black. The goblin tailor asked this way. A suit... ah. I have to match a suit. I have to match two suits... well. I''m more interested in the other side than that. Hmm. Of course, in addition to suits, we also deal in bags and accessories, but that''s not a specialty. Aside from that. Scales from Mt. Mangap. Red Drake''s claws. I''ve been wanting to buy some if there''s something like the root of a flower plant. Haha. They are all types that cannot be found on the first floor. Unfortunately, it doesn''t seem like something I can do for you. The goblin tailor burst out laughing and shook his head from side to side. It was an added bonus to make an absurd expression, as if watching a person looking for fish in the mountains. However. Jinhyuk still didn''t lose his smile. as soon as . Is that so? The great middle manager just can''t get enough of that? Because I had to blow this up. It wasn''t a long line, but the meaning of those words was never light. The goblin''s eyes fluttered slightly. It was a fleeting moment, but Jinhyuk did not miss the subtle change. I think you''re mistaken for someone else, but I''m not a middle manager, I''m just the owner of this store. also. You''re coming out like this. You can''t do it if you''re going to do it like that. three. Jinhyuk spread his fingers. There are exactly three things that I find strange. The goblin didn''t answer. I just kept my mouth shut and waited for Jinhyuk to speak. great. With this, step 1 is passed. First of all, this store. From the moment I entered, I could smell a sweet scent that tickled the tip of my nose. It''s the scent of ''Snowflake canola'' that grows only on the 16th floor of the tower. . Did you mix in the scent of a few other flowers as well? ''Swamp wildflowers'' mainly found in rain forests. Until the ''last dew'' that grows only on snowy mountains for many years. There were quite a few different scents. All in a combination that can bring out synergy with each other. Isn''t it strange that the owner of a small shop on the first floor of the tower has flowers that can only be found on the upper middle floor of the tower? That''s just for use as an air freshener. " " The goblin still didn''t answer. However, his expression was slightly different from the first time. Expectations for the words to follow were buried in the expression of interest. The second thing is that you were not intimidated when Cheon Yu-seong freed mana. A goblin that is considered the weakest in the tower. How dare such a weak monster withstand the momentum of players with an average level of close to 50? It''s a story that doesn''t make sense. The gap between the two was as wide as a tiger and a hamster. In other words. The goblin in front of us right now is simply a story that is different from ordinary individuals with a small body and a soft mana. Finally, you''re like ''the two of you'' I asked if you''d like a suit. At Jinhyuk''s words, the goblin questioned him for the first time. If there are two people, of course it''s common sense to have two suits together, isn''t it? I don''t understand that that''s a clue. No. It''s strange, because as long as the Masquerade event happens, beings in this city will be able to see if a player has an invitation or not. Who are regular visitors? Who is the target party for this event? means you know everything. However. This friend doesn''t have an invitation. Jinhyuk pointed to Elise over his shoulder. Jinjo, not a player. Because of that, there were no invitations from the beginning. Also, to be certain that someone who knows it will go to the ball all the way to Alice... . It means that you have already heard information about me from Rick-sama. Of course, if the owner of the target group knows about it, you must also be leading a high-level leader. He''s probably one of Rick''s executive ranks. ''I was a little surprised because it was the first time I saw him.'' Anyway, that''s enough of what I''ve been able to say. If you have a conscience, you won''t be able to get away with it. And to prove that idea. Puhaha! This is so. It leaves me speechless. Rick said he had a fun player recently, but I didn''t expect him to be this interesting. The goblins burst into madness and rejoiced. By the way. "But there is one thing that Jinhyuk Kang is wrong about." The corners of the goblin''s lips rose upwards. Meanwhile, Jinhyuk''s eyes fluttered at the next words. CH 153 . Masquerade (3) I am not Rick''s colleague or subordinate. In a tone that oozes dryness. Rather, he''s working for me. The goblin spit out an outrageous fact. no way . You mean he was above Rick, the middle manager? pounding! pounding! pounding! heart beating fast. Fluffy hairs all over the body. ''Here, a giant has appeared.'' That being said, this goblin is the only ''superior manager'' in the Tower of Trials. It means one of Non-standard beings that even the divinities of the tower cannot be treated lightly. Even Jinhyuk couldn''t meet all seven senior managers until he reached the top of the tower. Because it was covered by that much veil, the meaning of this meeting was special. [Lv8 ''Eyes of Gluttony'' is activated!] [The level difference with the target is extreme.] [[''luck''] Stats and ''Adaptive'' Additional stats will be activated!] [''Eyes of Gluttony'' failed to see through the target''s status window.] I tried it just in case, but what came back was a red status window indicating failure. Even if I used ''luck'' and ''adaptation'', I couldn''t get over it. As expected, the level of senior managers will be comparable to those of divinities. Or, higher than that. still. ''not bad.'' It must not have been easy for even any ranker to restrain himself in a meeting with a senior manager. It felt like the inside of the store was going to burn with just the mana that came out implicitly. If it had been in the past, he, too, would have passed out or collapsed without being able to withstand this pressure. But now it''s different. I could feel that the gap with my opponent wasn''t wide enough that I couldn''t even think of it. ''Not far.'' Yeah, it wasn''t far. You can catch up much faster than in the past. It may even be possible to surpass rather than catch up. in the not-too-distant future. Thinking like that, I was able to regain my composure as if I had poured ice cold water into my head. Hmm. I don''t think I''m very surprised. Besides, you''re holding up comfortably even with this energy. To be honest, I''m embarrassed on my part. I didn''t know I would meet a senior manager in a place like this, so I was actually a little surprised, but I''ve been through more absurd things than this. Thanks to that, I''ve become the kind of person who usually does that. Hey, you mean you know about us? At first glance, I heard about the rumors about the seven ''kings of no government''. Jinhyuk''s words. ...! This time, the goblin''s expression changed drastically. Unlike before, to the extent that you can read it on your face. It seems that you use the word surprising at times like this. Haha. I''m really curious how you got to know such information, but... That would be against the rules of the tower. To the discipline of the tower... haha! That''s right. You''re right. That''s an area I shouldn''t overlook. Anyway, it''s interesting. I think that Rick''s hearing about player Kang Jinhyuk wasn''t an exaggeration, it was an understatement. You''ll get a lot of questions about me, but the point is, I''ve found one of the managers hiding in the city, right? Jinhyuk smiled slyly. Is it some sort of Easter egg? There are several hidden Quests in this masquerade. Like now, finding middle managers disguised as monsters all over the city. And for the players who discovered it, quite a bit of reward was to follow. The goblins knew it too, so they didn''t ask about the background of the information any more. I''ll introduce you formally. My name is Hasting. I''m the manager on the first floor of the tower. I usually run a shop here, and I make decisions about every little thing. These are trivial things... . How could a senior manager in charge of the tower''s events speak like that? If the word "important" comes out of that mouth, I wonder how much of a ripple effect it will have. "This is Jinhyuk Kang." Jinhyuk also briefly introduced himself. Jinhyuk Kang has found one of the managers, so of course you should compensate him appropriately. But, what do you want? If you want, we can tailor the best suit for you for free. Are you kidding me? I didn''t come all the way here just to get something like that. The clothes made by artisans aren''t bad, either. This time, I''ll decline. Instead, I''d like to receive another invitation. If it''s an invitation... Because you can''t go to someone''s party and leave someone behind. This is really. You''re asking for something quite unreasonable. Since I''ve done something unreasonable, I''m asking for something unreasonable. Probably, there is no other player other than me who found a manager, right? Although he didn''t lose once, Hasting seemed to like his brilliance even more. Fuhaha! That''s also true. Asking for a reasonable price is a natural right. An exciting flash of light erupted. Oh! And you don''t have to measure your clothes. I already know that. As a personal service, I''ll prepare something that suits you. thank you. I know you are a great person, but be careful. Hasting added playfully. "Among the players who are coming to the ballroom right now, there are some quite interesting people. Those who feel like the same as Kang Jin-hyuk." After breaking up with Hasting, Jin-hyeok spent time in a vacant lot on the outskirts of the city. About 2 hours left before midnight. Until then, you will be able to enjoy a little break. Come on. Here! That''s right. Well done. Next is this. Jinhyuk threw a magic stone at each sweet potato. mosquito! The sweet potato ran around and ate the magic stone that Jinhyuk threw. misread. Oh Dodok! Just like a puppy eating bone treats. The sweet potato kept licking her mouth. Yeah. Eat a lot. Our cutie. Jinhyuk smiled at his mother and nodded his head. After all, there is nothing more rewarding than growing a pet. Even if I fed them all of the Magic Stones I received from Caracal, it wouldn''t be a waste. Oh! Come to think of it . Jinhyuk, who had been feeding for a while, got up from his seat as he remembered something. A unique ability that was copied with Caracal and drinking on the 7th floor. Now was the time to try it out. ''The best condition is that the vacant lot is so wide and it''s dark.'' If other people are watching, you can''t use the skill arbitrarily, but if there are few people like this, you can practice to your heart''s content. [The unique ability ''White Beast'' is activated.] [Attack power and attack speed increase by 15% for 5 minutes.] [[''Invisibility'' on the weapon you have] The effect is given.] [The degree of invisibility varies depending on the skill level of the ability.] As the golden parchment unfolded, the unique ability that Caracal used was activated. white beast. Literally, it is the ability to maximize the attack power while hiding the gap between the weapons. Jinhyuk glanced at the fangs he was holding in his hand. ''It''s impossible to completely hide it because of its low proficiency.'' Translucent would be more appropriate. It was enough to confuse my vision, but that was all. For those accustomed to fighting to a certain extent, this level was not much of a threat. ''Still, if you continue to raise your proficiency, it will become quite useful later on.'' Translucent and transparent are two completely different things. Because if you can fool the gap perfectly, it''s never been as annoying as that. Especially if you''re fighting for your life with someone you''ve never seen for the first time. great. Then... . [Lv10 ''Glacier Formation'' is activated.] As the white snowflakes flew, the blade became a little blurry. In addition, through the ''Element of Fire'', the view was made more dizzy. Whoops! Late evening when the sun goes down. in an empty vacant lot. Snowflakes and fireworks blended together. Whoa... Jinhyeok, who cleared his breath, used his unique abilities and skills in a row. The hand holding the sword stretched forward. Feet gently shared the center of gravity. like that. The talent that permeated through the tomb of the sword. The Basic Form of the Soulless Sword. It began to be reproduced through a sharp dagger. How much time has passed? Jinhyuk, who was wielding a dagger in a trance, finally stopped moving. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh. The dry lungs were desperate for oxygen. It feels like every cell in your body is screaming. After moving like crazy for about an hour, all my stamina ran out. However, rather than difficult . The corners of his lips went up in excitement of ''fun''. I don''t know if it''s been a while. Acquiring new skills and practicing the linkages between those skills came to me like crazy. Even the sweat that soaked his whole body was approaching him with ease. ''I mean, I can''t give up training for this taste.'' That was when Jinhyuk was picking his breath. Can I ask you just one thing? Elise, who was sitting in the chair, spoke. I kept thinking that the party might have dropped because of my fat expression, but that doesn''t seem to be the case. Ask anything. I''ve only met one senior manager, and that''s on the 40th floor of the tower. It was just a coincidence. They''re not the kind of people a senior manager can easily meet. Well, what''s the reaction! You''re a senior manager!? I''ve met the Egyptian divinity, so I guess it doesn''t make sense to me, but those guys are the ones who make the rules for this tower! Alice raised her voice. It was quite frustrating and absurd, and the corners of my eyes trembled. However. I know. what? How dangerous these guys are, and what they can do if you look at them funny. I know everything. Jinhyuk answered dryly. However, it was never an easy answer. Like the monologue of a regressor who has experienced everything, worn out countless times. Those words carried an unknown weight. How the hell do you know so much? You even knew that they were the kings of military officers. The existence of the crown was known only to me and the bastard Axencion among the headmasters... The crown is a hidden piece to see the top of the tower, and it is the highest level relic that symbolizes the power of the tower. The fact that each of the powers was desperate to expand the territory. Ultimately, it was to obtain the crown and ascend to the position of monarch. But Alice wouldn''t know. Collect all the crowns that symbolize the Absolute in the tower. Go up to the 50th floor. The fact that there is a player who conquered the last of that floor. I am me. That''s enough. No further explanation is needed. Jinhyuk took out another large magic stone and handed it to the sweet potato. Whoa whoa! mosquito! The sweet potato that swallowed the magic stone like a crab hides its tail and gently wags its tail. A pink tongue gently licked Jinhyuk''s palm. ...ha. Well, I didn''t expect an answer. Yeah. You''re my contractor. Now that we''re together, that''s all. Alice let out a small sigh as if she had given up. It will be useless to ask any more anyway, and it is an unchanging fact that Jinhyuk''s overwhelming strength and absurd information are reassuring. As long as we are on the same side, there is no stronger contractor than this. But right then. A status window appeared in front of Jinhyuk and Elise, respectively. [The ''ordered finished suit'' has arrived from Hasting.] A phrase indicating that the clothes you have been waiting for are ready. "Is it time to go slowly?" Finally, the time to go to the long-awaited prom has come. Who will be arriving? How much talent can you extract from it? I was already looking forward to it. CH 154 . Prospects of the 7th Guild (1) Whoops! There was no time to even step in front of the luxurious mansion in the city center due to so many people. Players from various guilds and reporters who came to film them. And the onlookers snooping around wondering if any Congolese has fallen. It was a sight reminiscent of Dotegi Market. It''s a ball. Who would have known that there was such a hidden event? Even if only the most promising players in the world received invitations. From our point of view, it''s a complete bonanza. Ugh. That''s right. Celebrities will all gather in one place. Isn''t there any way to get in somehow? If that''s the case, the scoop is a dangsang. The reporters licked their mouths with their eyes on. I can''t help but be excited to be able to see all the top rankers that it is difficult to see even one at a time. It was no exaggeration to say that this was the biggest scoop that occurred after the Tower of Trials appeared. That was then. jerk. Someone approached the crowd. A man with a strong physique with a sharp impression. It was Yoshio Hoshikawa, the master of the Japanese Samurai Guild. chwachwachwa chow chow! The camera flash was dazzling. come! It''s Yoshio! Oh! You''re the master of the Samurai Guild! The rankers of the Samurai Guild are here too! I''m glad. I was able to take a picture of even one person. A neat navy blue suit and brown shoes perfectly harmonized. Yoshio approached the crowd with a look of irritation on his face. ''What kind of asshole spread the information and gathered so many people.'' The ball is a Hidden event. In other words, there was no way for anyone other than the player who received the invitation to even know that the ball was being held. Still, the fact that so many reporters and flies gathered is that someone who received an invitation leaked information. Abusive words welled up to his throat at that stupidity, but for now, getting in there was the priority. ''I''d rather come wearing a mask.'' Due to the trait of the Masquerade, it was a rule to wear a mask inside, but I didn''t prepare for it because I didn''t expect such a large crowd to come. I thought I should just buy something suitable inside. chwachwachwa chow chow chow! The camera shutter flashed faster. Sheesh. Yoshio took out his sunglasses from his inner pocket and put them on. I couldn''t openly dislike it because of the guild''s image, but I didn''t want to play with it like that. ''I have a lot of things I want on the theme of ''Bugs with no dreams or a future...'' .'' There are a lot of stragglers who just parasitize other strong people and want them to save their future. In fact, among the many players gathered here, there is not a single one worth using, right? If it were not for a strong man like himself, the human race would surely perish sooner or later. But that was then. creepy ...!? Goosebumps rose along Yoshio''s back. There is something in the crowd. A monster with an energy sharp enough to freeze the air. ''Did he come with an invitation?'' It was reasonable to assume so. Because there was no way an ordinary player could have such an absurd mana. Yoshio concentrated his mind and searched for the source of mana. found. Dressed in a black suit. And a pair of players whose white masks stand out. ''Oh.'' The female side hardly felt mana, but the male side was really strong. If you fight 1:1, you can''t guarantee a win. So far, I have sparring with many rankers and have broken through various labyrinths and dungeons, but this was the first time I was so excited. so that. I was looking forward to it. Where does your opponent actually belong? And will it be a competitor or an ally? that''s all Looking at you, it looks like you''re here to participate too. My name is Yoshio Hoshikawa. I''m in charge of the Japanese Samurai Guild. At Yoshio''s words, the reporters were astonished. uh? What? Yoshio-san is talking to someone? Huh! That''s... The spotlight turned to the other side. Everyone''s attention was focused on one place. Exactly where Jinhyuk and Elise are. ''Yoshio... .'' Jinhyuk nodded slightly. How could you not know? Master of the Samurai Guild, Japan''s largest guild. As you may have heard, the energy forged like a single sword was impressive. level is high. Of course, the unique abilities and skills they have will also be gorgeous. ''It''s good that rankers all gather together.'' The masked ball was like a buffet with mint chocolate as the main theme, ice cream, shaved ice, sandwiches, and macarons. Jinhyuk quickly activated the ''Eyes of Gluttony''. Name: Hoshikawa Yoshio Gender: Male Age: 34 Level: 52 Strength 31 Agility 35 Stamina 36 mana 17 Spirit 44 Stat Points you have: 0 Coins held: 337,536 Occupation: Samurai Unique Ability: ''Advanced Martial Arts'' skill: Lv9 ''One Swordsmanship (һɔ)'', Lv8 ''Sword (΄)'', Lv8 ''Tensin Shoden Katori Shintoryu'', Lv7 ''Sword Shield (Ĥ)'', Lv7 ''Holy Heart'' now . Even the masters of the 7th guild cannot compete with their level. ''I can''t keep up with my growth even with sheep hunting, which consumes all the prey of the dungeon.'' After all, the level gap inevitably widens as we are holding all the bosses who are in charge of the path to the next floor. Considering the time spent to get the ''gap'', the current level gap would not be just level 3. ''There are adaptive and newly acquired Essence stats, so I think it''s a completely different level.'' Even a world-class ranker could not dare to approach it. It has grown so much. But only one. The conditions for copying the opponent''s ability were still very difficult. [Copy Conditions: Yoshio, the first Japanese sword, is a ranker representing Japan. To copy one of his unique abilities and skills, the following conditions must be met.] Use someone other than yourself to subdue Yoshio. However, the term "other" here refers to a player. If you fail, you can do it yourself, but in that case you won''t be able to use your weapon. Instead, you must use one of your forks, chopsticks, spoons or pencils to subdue your opponent. ''shit.'' Use someone instead to subdue it. What kind of crazy person was trying to fight the Master of the 7th Guild? Moreover, even if he succeeded in roasting someone with all kinds of slander and politics, it was another matter to subdue that samurai. He could have gone on his own, but it was absolutely ridiculous that he had to choose and fight such a nonsensical weapon. ''kill.'' sure to kill If you don''t know anything else, you''ll definitely find the guy who made up the system someday. And I will make him achieve all the copying conditions he has done so far. If you experience it yourself, you will be able to feel how crazy the high school students you are doing now are. Whoo... . Jinhyuk sighed for a moment, then cleared his mind. It''s not like this has happened once or twice, it''s because I thought it would happen now. That was then. Hey. Can''t you hear what eldest brother is asking right now? If someone asks you, you have to answer. What rudeness is this? Behind Yoshio, a man who had been attached like an attendant stepped out. Yoshio also had a height of 180 cm, but this man was completely different in size. He is about 210 cm tall and weighs 150 kg. sumo As a player, it was huge enough for everyone to understand. Tsutomu. Stop it. Yoshio lightly stretched out his hand. However, the man called Tsutomura grumbled with a face full of dissatisfaction. I know your eldest brother is generous, but you don''t have to be like that to these disrespectful people. Even Namgungcheon of the Chinese Guild can''t be reckless with him, but those who can''t even see his face dare to ignore his first greeting. no. Tsutomu! Yoshio raised his voice, but it was already too late. Because Jinhyuk wasn''t the only one who would sit still after hearing those words. under . It was when Jinhyuk opened his mouth to say a word. If you go cowardly, you don''t hide behind. It''s called a masquerade, isn''t it stupid to go there and not wear a mask? More than that, I don''t know why an idiot who didn''t even get an invitation intervenes. Elise, who had been silent, intervened. What, what? You got fat in your ears, so you couldn''t hear it? Even that bearded man told me not to do it, but it means that you don''t lose any weight and stay calm. Oh! Don''t answer me. I''m trying to get annoyed with the smell of oil from my mouth. uhm. Still, at first, he was a vampire full of dignity and stubbornness. As we went together, we reached a point where we could put dill in any mouth. ''It''s silent and dark... .'' Jinhyuk shook his head, feeling a certain sense of responsibility. It was enough that the listeners bit their tongues, so anger must have risen to the top of their heads. as proof of that expectation. Who the fuck did you dare say such a thing! Tsutomu, whose face turned red, stretched out his hand. I''ll shatter that apple-sized head! [Tsutomu activates Lv7 ''One Point Crush''!] A superpower capable of turning even rocks into powder. An attack with the weight of a sumo wrestler was developed. However, right before the palms grabbed Elise''s head. It''s ridiculous. A cold voice came out of Alice''s mouth. At the same time. Aww! Something against gravity struck Tsutomu in the back of his head. Gagging! Screaming for a while. Unexpected pressure was transmitted. Does it feel like an invisible giant hand is pressing it? Turn it off... A thick tendon protruded from Tsutomu''s forehead. Still, like a high ranker, he used defensive skills in layers. It was just that. Because Jinhyuk spared no mana supply, Elise was able to implement a fairly high-density skill. It was impossible for a single player to withstand Jinjo''s irritating attack. kukuku kuk kuk! Rumble! Tsutomu shook his head, unable to breathe. Damn little bastard? Did you dare say that to Jim? Turn it off... Why can''t you talk? You''ve been playing with your tongue so well a while ago. Did the fat even clot by then? The anger in his voice grew stronger. Wow... Wow! The ground began to crack like a tortoise shell. If it''s like this... . That big man will be crushed to death. In the end, Yoshio, who had not seen it, came out. I''m going to take a hard look at the rudeness that this friend committed. So why don''t we stop at this point? If we cross the line, it won''t be good for each other. Why do I have to listen to that? Elise snorted. At that time, Jinhyuk added a word. Okay. Stop it. It''s almost midnight, and I don''t have time to fuss here. Ha, but! Elise. I''m telling you to stop. Oh, I see. I can''t. Elise harvested the mana. Guck! Gagging! Cool... Tsutomu, who barely managed to save his life, slumped to the ground. The tension that had been so tight was gone. Yoshio''s face was still full of tension. I had no choice but to do so. ''I thought women were just bridesmaids... .'' That idea is completely wrong. A completely different level of strength. Even if it had been me over there, the result would not have changed. if so . How strong is the man that the woman can''t even move? As the thought reached that point, dry saliva ran down Yoshio''s throat. CH 155 . Prospects of the 7th Guild (2) I''m glad there are people who have a rational mindset. Yoshio slowly opened his mouth. However. Huh? Jinhyuk tilted his head as if to mean something. It means thank you for letting her go. If we had done more than that, we wouldn''t have stood still. Oh! did you mean that It seems I misunderstood something... Jinhyuk smiled brightly. And. [Lv10 ''Glacier Formation'' is activated!] Pants... . An ice hammer suddenly appeared in his hand. Jinhyuk held the ice hammer firmly and thrust it down vertically. kwaduk! The sound of bones breaking from Tsutomu''s back was heard. Gagging! A painful scream erupted, but Jinhyuk did not stop. Hammering to such a degree that I thought it was cruel in a way, without putting a word of circumstance in my hand. Don''t move. Does it fit the bone? kwaang! Aww! Hey. So don''t move. Whoops! Gagging! Oh, sorry. This was my mistake. It must have hurt. Whoops! Cheer up! Tsutomu, whose body had turned purple, continued to wriggle his huge body. Jinhyeok''s tanning was finished only after the shape was completely close to garaetteok. Whoa. Since the surface area is large, it is certainly not easy to hit evenly. ...you guys. Yoshio''s voice subsided. The space in the waist danced, and I could see the handle of the Japanese sword appearing. However, Jinhyuk did not blink an eye despite Yoshio''s indirect threats. I didn''t tell you. It''s not to save your subordinates. It wasn''t sympathy that came from the fact that Elise''s hands were too harsh for a single word error. It wasn''t that the Samurai Guild or Yoshio were afraid. only. I''m the one who said anything reckless to me because it''s my taste. It kills the pleasure to let someone else take care of the one who did the right thing. repaying the favor. also taking revenge. Because it''s okay to do it all yourself. People who heard the reason Jinhyuk dried up showed different reactions. -right. this guy It was originally a devil. Elise immediately understood. On the other hand. Yoshio''s face hardened even more. "We are in an alliance with the Chinese Guild. Do you mean that you are going to come out like this?" The best guild in China led by Namgungcheon. They have so many players, and the skills of the top rankers are beyond imagination. Especially since I''ve been hearing people say that the recent rise is irrational. Of course, when it comes to swords, the Samurai Guild, which is considered the best in the world, was also a huge force that could not be ignored. By the way, do you expose your teeth to those two giant powers? It''s not the same as saying you want to die. The Chinese Guild and the Samurai Guild have formed an alliance... Yes. Do you think I''ve made a little mistake now? Well, I don''t think it was me who made a mistake... Jinhyuk slowly took off his mask. The white mask disappeared, revealing his bare face. "Kang Jinhyuk!" Yoshio took a deep breath. Sudden tremors of the pupil. In fact, I met the player I did not want to meet the most. ''I heard that only Yoo Yeon-hwa, Lee Tae-min, Theresa, and that swordsman would get along... .'' There was no information about the white-haired girl. Therefore, Yoshio could not have predicted that his opponent would be Jinhyuk. ''shit .'' I drew the worst hand out of all the hand I could draw. I have to get out of here. Fighting a guy like that was unplanned. At least You have no choice but to wait until you enter the ballroom. At that time, there was an opportunity to repay this insult. Because I had prepared everything for this job in the first place. ''Let''s see if we can laugh a little later.'' Humiliation in front of reporters. I will definitely give you back 1000 times. Yoshio took a step back, biting his molars. Three, my God... I''m Jinhyuk Kang. Korea''s Jinhyuk Kang! After all, that person also received an invitation. Did you see that more than that? Did Yoshio leave without even making a sound? "No matter how large a guild it is, it won''t work for Jinhyuk Kang player. You can tell by looking at the videos uploaded so far. Hey, what kind of crazy bastard would argue 1:1? That''s right... we won''t fight unless we''re really crazy. The overwhelming majesty that the white-haired girl showed. Jinhyuk''s appearance. Let''s put the two events together. Cheers erupted among the reporters. Because it produced such an overwhelming scene, the aftermath was greater than I had imagined. chwachwachwa chow chow! Again, the camera shutter flashed dazzlingly. Now that we have some real-time search terms and material to decorate the headlines, of course, our hands are busy. Before entering the ballroom, Jinhyuk said one last thing. It doesn''t matter where you''re holding hands. I''m not interested in you guys hanging out as the alley leader. Be honest. It would have been nice if they only played with each other in their own domain. But, don''t get in the way of what I do. The eyes that looked down on people a while ago. The heart that ridiculed the weak people like you and said that they were on a completely different level. I understand. I feel the same way when I see you. Anyway, if you guys have to work hard for a hundred days, you''ll fail to climb the tower. What I have to say is that this is the end of it. Jinhyuk entered the ballroom, leaving behind Yoshio, who was stained with anger, and Tsutomu, who was fainting. [You have entered the event area.] With the dazzling light, what the eye sees has completely changed. ''Oh.'' Jinhyuk let out a small exclamation. The huge interior reminiscent of a palace. The chandeliers and splendid decorations that I only saw in movies were more than I expected. It''s not bad. For the one on the first floor, you''ve got a decent assortment of things to live in. This noble body isn''t enough to stay for a while. Alice was also quite surprised and opened her rabbit eyes. uhm. It seems that someone has been locked up on the first floor for quite some time. Even in the corridor in the far corner of the first floor. Why are you looking at me with such an eerie look? It''s not like, ''I lived in a closet that didn''t get a little bit of sunlight, so my eyes only got higher, so why are you doing other house fairs?'' also . What is that admirable exclamation? No, it''s because the ancestors are different. Even though they were using their own ''mental barrier'', they didn''t know that they would be able to get their heart out. It seems like they''ve lived for thousands of years, so their mind reading skill level is high. What, what! Alice''s voice rose about two octaves. Once again, a lot of speeches about the Ataraxia family and his greatness continued, but Jinhyuk''s attention was already focused elsewhere. ''It looks like you have prepared it properly.'' In the past, the scale was considerable, but now the level is completely different. sure. What caught my eye more than the interior decoration was the players wearing various masks. Several men and women had already gathered inside the banquet hall. At a glance, they are exceptional talents. It''s only natural that the world''s most promising people were brought in. ''Let''s see... .'' As I concentrated my mind, the scattered mana were caught one by one. one two three four . Even at a quick glance, the heat seems to be overkill. Totally jackpot. Among them, the most striking among them was a man with short blond hair and a black suit, as well as a woman with long blond hair in a black dress. Although their faces are covered with a butterfly-shaped mask, the twins are actually very famous rankers. Casey and Jude Law. The perverts better known as the pleasure battle maniac. The fighting style that pursues only peripheral stimulation was selected as an object to be avoided even in Europe. Even the slasher movie directors called me vomited watching the video the two of them uploaded, so ordinary people must have been terrified. still. The two''s main specialty is ''sharing'' The ability was pretty cool. ''During the main event of the prom, I have to get the ability of those two.'' It was difficult to approach them right now, but in the main event to be held shortly, there will be opportunities to contact the players. The main event of the Masquerade. Yes. The reason the players gathered here in the first place was not because they wanted to wear masks and dance or dance. Just to catch the eye of the forces in charge of the lower and middle floors of the tower. To add a little more, to choose which faction to choose when climbing the tower in the future. are gathered here And Jinhyuk. He knew the best answer out of all the options. So... he said our names, but he ignored us? Yeah. He sneered when he said he was an ally. I warned him, but to no avail. Hmm... The second person in the Chinese Guild. Liaoyu let out a deep moan. Until recently, the fact that I had attended this dance made me feel as if I was walking on clouds. That feeling of floating was shattered by Yoshio''s one word. There is only one reason. Jinhyuk Kang. it''s him again Cold water poured heavily on the atmosphere heated up by that hound-like bastard that bit him endlessly. ''In all likelihood, this kind of thing happens when Namgungcheon is away.'' There are two players who received invitations from the Chinese Guild. They were Namgungcheon and Liaoyu. However, Namgungcheon was absent for a while to receive a new sword from Namgungsega in Jungwon. ''Even for the honor of China, we must be held accountable for this incident.'' Already, in the 5th floor elf forest, I was hit once, but I couldn''t go through the humiliation twice in a row. Because that was like putting shit on the reputation of the entire guild. However . ''It is difficult with our own strength.'' A conclusion that can be drawn because reason prevails over anger. Liaoyu calmly evaluated the difference between his opponent and himself. If you go out emotionally like this, you will have to taste the bitter taste of defeat again. If not, what do you mean? That was when the troubles deepened. Looks like you have something to worry about. someone has spoken A small body of 1m. Although he was a small person with a delicate-looking body, no one could ignore him. yea that''s the way it is Iza is the one who invited them here. Because he was one of the lower managers of the tower. Ka... Man? Tell me. Who dares to touch those belonging to my power? Kaman, who is closely related to the Moorim faction, has worked hard to incorporate promising players and various guilds into Moorim. As a result, he was able to succeed in acquiring the big cards of Chinese characters and Samurai. In fact, I was able to attend this place in recognition of my contribution, so it must be considered quite successful as a junior manager. It''s okay, it''s okay. It''s not a big deal. Until Kahman-sama needs to come in person... Liaoyu and Yoshio opened their mouths at the same time. No matter how high a ranker is, a low rank manager is a different being. Because of this, the two had to find it difficult to even talk to him. Kaman looked around. Then, Jinhyuk wearing a white mask caught my eye. is it. That''s the guy that bothered me so much. Which faction does he belong to? It seems that he doesn''t belong to a faction yet. Because of his trait, he likes to hang out with only a few people. That''s right. The name Moorim alone is enough to mean that you can dip it and press it. Don''t worry. One cheeky human kid, I''ll come and give you a solid education. A sly smile crept across Kaman''s lips. CH 156 . Prospects of the 7th Guild (3) Title ''You''re a low-level manager... .'' This is going to be fun Jinhyuk glanced at one side. Seeing that the small people''s managers were gathered together with the Chinese and Samurai Guilds, there must have been some scheming. And as if to prove that expectation. jerk. Kaman slowly approached Jinhyuk''s place. Haha. How are you enjoying our prom? Kaman laughed softly. When you look at it like this, you just look like an innocent and cute little kid. Like a unicorn, even the horns protruding from between the semi-curly hairs were cute. However, the bright yellow eyes with cruelty were far from innocence. Yes. Thanks to you, I''m having a good time. I''m glad you did. I''m really glad you did. Kaman nodded. However, Jinhyuk knew. that those words were never meant to be. But, thanks to you, we don''t feel comfortable in cultivating spirits. I heard that they made a half-body so that one of my guests could not even walk. Oh my. Was that friend so badly hurt? I''ll have to send some flowers later. I heard that Mexican cacti are so popular these days... Jinhyuk trembled and put his hands together. Seeing that, the playfulness disappeared from Kaman''s eyes. I understand why you two treat you like a thorn in your throat. Seeing you in person makes me want to shove my horns into the face of death. I can''t help but feel like I''m just listening to humans playing with words. Had it not been for this place, it would have been torn to shreds at any moment. Jerrit! Jerrit! Jerrit! A stinging mana stabbed Jinhyuk''s skin. indeed . Even if it''s a low-level manager, is it a manager? I understand the anger, but don''t you think it doesn''t look good for a manager to threaten customers with a namely name? "You knew that I was the manager did you mean that?" What, right? "But why did you act so cocky?" Is there any reason not to? Hahaha! Haha... that''s ridiculous. Do you know who you''re talking to? If I put my mind to it, something like you...! When Kaman''s words were about to become longer, Jinhyuk cut off the other person''s words with a single knife. Leader Manager Kaman. I know it''s good that you''ve made a small contribution, but if you make a lot of comments like that, you''ll hurt your nose. You...! My... what''s my name? Kaman took a deep breath for a moment. A true name known only to very few in China and the samurai side. how. How do you know the first person you meet? Kahman was at a loss for words for a moment at the shock as if he had been hit in the head with a hammer. What if I''m surprised that you only know the name? To be really surprised. At least if you really want to panic . A relic of a unicorn. You should know at least what floor ''Lost Horn'' is on the tower. Yes. This should be enough to make the manager tremble. You bastard monkey. Tell me how you knew that right now! kukuku kuk kuk! Kahman freed mana. A huge storm raged inside. The atmosphere quickly became ferocious enough that the players around them all looked at each other. Tell me! Where are the relics of our clan! The lost horn is a holy relic that symbolizes the power of the clan. At the same time, it was also the wounds of failure in climbing the tower. Although now the entire clan has given up climbing and led a life as a junior manager. That doesn''t mean I''ve given up on finding horns. To that extent, the ''lost horn'' had a great meaning for the Kaman and the unicorn. ''Well, as expected.'' Jinhyuk''s lips twisted slightly. No matter how much raw meat is, every manager has at least one weakness. For Jin-hyeok, who already knew and experienced everything, digging into the loopholes of the other person was like eating porridge. If you try to kill me, you''ll get in trouble too, right? It won''t be a big deal just because a person without a modest power disappears. You don''t have to worry about that. It''s a little different from what I thought. No matter how you look at it, you''re turning an opponent you can''t handle as an enemy. Fuhaha! Who the hell do you think is behind me! There''s nothing we can''t handle! There was good reason for Kahman''s confidence. Moorim. A huge force that exerts overwhelming influence in the 20th floor of the tower. Even if they say that one player is half-killed here. With the protection of himself and Moorim, the situation could have been subdued. In the first place, this masked ball was the only stage where the powers of the upper middle classes intervened. kukukuku! mana The storm grew stronger. The players watching around. And not the banquet hall, but the ''big powers'' who watched the situation with interest on the second floor. Everyone was looking forward to how this would end. Things are getting in trouble. Are you really clueless? Alice let out a small sigh. Although grunting, red blood swirled in the palm of his hand. If there is a fight, it means that we will fight together. A being who stands by your side no matter what the circumstances. It''s definitely reassuring to know that you''re on the same side. But not as much this time. You don''t have to fight this time. from the beginning. I predicted that the other side would fight, including the manager''s intervention, so I prepared a card for that. right then What kind of mess is this? A familiar voice echoed from the stairs on the second floor. before coming here. Jinhyuk made one complaint to the clothing store. There is a defect in the finished product. [A button on the suit is about to fall off. Please make a quick fix. If you ignore it, I''ll post a lengthy review in the Tower of the Crucible community. Of course, 1 star will be given as a service.] As a matter of course, there were no defects in the product. I just made a flaw on purpose. However, due to cute threats, the person who made the product had no choice but to come here. Well, to be precise, it''s probably close to being curious about what kind of plans Jinhyuk has in mind. Aren''t you asking? What kind of mess is all this? A goblin came down the stairs. One step at a time slowly. However, simply walking down the stairs changed the air in the room. The mana that Kaman had freed had long since disappeared. Instead, a heterogeneous mana dominated the interior. Everyone who was watching couldn''t help but shudder. The person who came here now is a being who is at the top of the hierarchy of managers. Because it was Senior Manager Hasting. And next to him was Rick, a mid-level manager, as if asking for an assistant. [A senior manager has manifested!] [Some restrictions are triggered in the system!] Of course, because he hardly showed up in front of the big players in the tower. Inside, it was noisy again. In particular, there was a lot of agitation among the residents on the second floor. Several voices echoed from the Moorim side. Sa, a senior manager is coming. "Oh my God I saw it for the first time." Surprisingly normal. Of course, I thought they were monsters over a few dozen meters. Stupid. Don''t judge just by looks. I''d rather be afraid of being ordinary like that. In fact, most did not realize that Hasting was one of the senior managers only after seeing the messages from the system. Huh... huh? An earthquake struck Kaman''s pupil. Rumble! My arms and legs trembled uncontrollably. Even an intermediate manager must be a rare existence from such a low level. The opponent is a senior manager who can wipe out those middle managers with a single word. The Absolutes who set the rules of the Tower of Altitude. Dare to be in a position where it is difficult to even look at myself, who is only at the end... It is ''sky''. Mr. Karman. Yes? Yes! Senior Manager. Kaman was so startled that he almost bit his tongue. No, I actually bit my tongue a little bit. Blood was oozing out of his lips, but there was no time to worry about that. Even if the world is destroyed right now. Because answering the other person''s question was more important. Why was I being rude to the guests I invited. Please explain that a little bit. Well, if it''s a guest invited by a senior manager... huh? Kaman looked to the side. I saw Jinhyuk humming a hum. "That person was the manager''s seconds, invitation ?" I heard you right. The senior manager directly invited Jinhyuk Kang to this prom. Rick chimed in. Then everything made sense. Why was that person able to come out so proudly? ''Damn, what... Are you saying this is reality?'' The managers of the lower ranks could not know the meeting between Jinhyeok and Hasting because access to information was strictly restricted. Kaman also focused on the Chinese guild''s enlistment, so he overlooked the line that Jinhyeok could reach. And. Little things like that came together to create the result we have today. But no matter how much you regret it, it''s already too late. Now, seeking the mercy of the opponent was the only way to avoid eternal destruction. "I, I didn''t know that " If I say I don''t know, does everything work out? no. Kaman bit his molars to break them. We are the managers who must always be fair. But some of them are taking bribes and other benefits from the powers behind them to take care of them. Hasting clicked his tongue. Of course, I''m not trying to rebuke you alone. There aren''t one or two of them. It would be foolish to shift all the responsibility to you alone. Besides, if you don''t cross a certain line, I can condone you to some extent. Hasting continued. But this case is an exception. If the manager harms the guests who have been invited by the manager. Who will accept our invitation in the future? It''s all true. I''m glad you''ve repented. Then, I''ll apologize now. Yes? If I made a mistake, shouldn''t I have to apologize to the person concerned? Or maybe I''m not just pretending to empathize with what I said? "No, of course. How dare I " Kaman shook his head and slowly turned around. In front of him was Jinhyuk, who was smiling triumphantly with his arms crossed. That''s right. That''s right. Now, let''s make an apple taste good. "I''m sorry please forgive me just once." A crawling voice came out. A manager who asks for forgiveness from humans. This disgrace will be remembered forever along with the existence of the tower. But Jinhyuk wasn''t the only one to stop at this level. cancer. It''s not hard [Video recording starts now.] aka stuffed. I intend to kindly help everyone not only here but also inside and outside the tower to see it. Even the manager knew that the recording function was realized, so Kaman''s face was more horribly distorted than before. But what do you do? If you say you don''t like it here, you''ll just get the wrath of a senior manager. I can not hear that. sorry. Are you hungry? A little louder! sorry! That''s right! Just a little bit bigger! Give your stomach a boost! I''m sorry ah! Only after a cry almost mourning resounded... . Kahman was able to escape this nightmare. I''ll play with the manager completely. That guy is pretty good too. Indeed, everyone deserves attention. "However, they say that the relationship with Moorim is not good." If you approach me recklessly, I''ll have to be prepared to pretend I''m out of luck. Several voices rang out. The reactions were mostly common. In order to recruit Jinhyeok, his relationship with Moorim, one of the great powers on the 20th floor, is inevitable. so that. ''also That man must be caught by us.'' Another power in the middle class that makes up Moorim and the two great mountain ranges. It began to move in ''Empire''. CH 157 . Faction Selection (1) Moorim and Empire. The two great powers have been fighting for supremacy in the middle of the tower for a long time. They possessed similar powers, so they couldn''t bite each other''s necks carelessly. He knew that in order to go to the upper part of the tower, they had to absorb each other''s power and inflate their size. To go up, someone must perish. And. A middle-aged man from the ''Kalladium Kingdom'', one of the members of the Empire. Penheimer felt his heart beating wildly. ''After all, my eyes weren''t wrong.'' In the meantime, looking at a lot of players, I was trying to find someone who could help the empire. However, it was not easy to find a suitable talent. It''s a natural thing. It''s because the average level of the players is too low compared to the high level of eyes. In the end, we had to pick out players with high growth potential rather than complete players. ''The Chinese guild was also coveted, but it was impossible to convince them because they shared their roots with Moorim.'' Thanks to that, thick dark clouds fell. In particular, isn''t Namgungcheon growing day by day based on his overwhelming talent and full support from Moorim? When that tight balance is breaking down. A ray of hope appeared in the Empire. Jinhyuk Kang. A player who attacked the lower floors of the tower for the first time and showed an overwhelming presence among all players. If you can earn interest... ! Maybe the war against the damned Moorim can finally be ended. Namgungcheon is said to be great, but Jinhyuk had much greater potential and growth potential than that. ''Other people may not know, but my eyes must be clear.'' Yes. Jinhyuk is at least a few steps higher than Namgungcheon. Penheimer clenched his fists. A monster who manifested Aura Blade at the age of 17 and proudly became one of the 100 Knights of the Empire. That is why I was able to be confident enough to recognize a talented genius. ''Please, make the right choice.'' The main event of the masquerade that will start soon. There are countless choices and consequences. will determine the future. A raging storm swept through. Zhonghua and the samurai who lost their low-level manager, Kaman, suffered a lot of damage to their image as a result. On the other hand, Jin-hyeok''s stock price, which received an invitation directly from a senior manager, soared without knowing it. Everything was just as Jinhyuk had planned. ''The atmosphere is ripe, so it will start soon.'' Even Namgungcheon and Cheonyuseong arrived at the ballroom late, and they ate and drank to some extent, and their first impressions of each other were finished. Now is the time for the stage curtain to rise in earnest. right then Hmmmm. Big! Rick cleared his voice. Thanks to the use of amplification magic, the voice spread to every corner of the banquet hall. Players who were spending their time in moderation stopped what they were doing. Everyone''s eyes focused on Rick. I hope you all enjoyed it, so let me tell you a little bit about the reason we invited you. As you know, the Masquerade is an event that brings together promising people from among the many players who climb the tower. To prevent a future that will perish if you do not conquer the next floor for 90 days. Expecting rewards pouring in for the first player to see the top of the tower. Or to covet something more... . Everyone has come to this place. Although the motives and tenacity are slightly different, the purpose is the same. Some of you may already know this, but... Actually, the real purpose of this ball is different. real purpose. at that word. Everyone''s eyes narrowed. "It is a place where players choose which faction they want to join as they climb the tower. After that, the rest of the players who were not invited here will also choose their faction, but you should step into a new area one step ahead of that. Do you think you can step on it? To put it bluntly, a pioneer. To put it bluntly, I am a beta tester. Without the information, all he could do was trust his intuition. Rick finished speaking and flicked his fingers. OK. T-tiring! [The main event of the masquerade begins.] [Prove ''Your Worth''] Name: Faction Selection Battle Difficulty: Unmeasurable Description: Choose one of the dungeons, labyrinths, and ruins on the 10th to 30th floors of the Tower of Trials to challenge. Here, players with high Karma can negotiate advantageously in choosing a faction. To select a floor, press the red button in the center of the ballroom and tell the floor you want to challenge. However, the challenge cannot be overturned, so please make a decision after thorough discussion. [Karma 100 points have been paid.] [Ranking is displayed according to Karma, and you can purchase various items by investing Karma between attacks.] [You can receive the protection of a faction only once per player.] Status windows appearing one after another. It finally started. The highlight of this ball is the ''Faction Selection Battle''. Some, including Jinhyeok and Namgungcheon, kept their composure, but not all of them. "The force a choice game?" What the hell is this? What kind of power do you have in the tower? Weren''t we climbing together? How are things going? A disappointing response followed. They just gathered here knowing that they could make friends or promote each other. It means that they came here to fully enjoy that they are special and different from others. But when I opened the lid, something completely different was waiting for me. Much bigger and more important, such an event. I was a bit embarrassed because things went differently than I expected, but those feelings didn''t last long. Being embarrassed or complaining doesn''t change anything. The important thing is to create the best results for the future based on the information you have today. Most quickly accepted reality. You could say it''s a Hidden Quest. Yeah. If the middle part of the tower has to be with the powers in the tower anyway, it wouldn''t be a bad idea to pre-empt the position. I''d rather take it as a big opportunity. It''s a cool way of weighing profits. Not everyone is called a prospect for nothing. Twenty players gathered at the stairs. The first to speak was Maria from the large European guild ''Olympus''. Suddenly the situation has come to this, but I think we should all work together to clear the Quest. The currently selectable floors are from the 10th to the 30th. It is at a level that can only be challenged by mobilizing a large-scale raid of at least hundreds of people. However, the number of players here is only 27. It would be impossible for even the most humble rankers to attack the dungeons there on this scale. In the end, everyone must work together to succeed in this Quest. Hmm. Karma is important, but it doesn''t mean anything if you play and fail. Master of Dangun Guild. Moon Kyu-ho also showed a positive meaning. It''s cooperation... I can''t. Yeah, we''ll have to work together this time. Then you both nodded. It seems that opinions have been gathered, so then, what should we do? We must choose the nearest one among the dungeons on the 10th floor, right? As the floor goes up, the risk rises exponentially. Rewards were important, but not as important as lives. I think the 10th floor would be fine. "There is one dungeon I know of on that floor, and I know the weaknesses of the named monsters, so it will be relatively easy to attack." Karma, we should compete fairly and fairly, that''s the best way. It was a time when everyone was reinforcing opinions and looking for the best results. Beep profit! Suddenly, a sharp alarm pierced the eardrums. [You have selected the floor.] [The place you chose is the labyrinth ''Valley of the Previous Kings'' on the 25th floor.] [After 30 seconds, all players here move to the area.] A blinking red status window. The players who looked as if they had lost their country were contrasted. What a madman! Who picked up the labyrinth without consulting!? That, too... It''s a labyrinth on the 25th floor of the tower. It''s a place no one has been to yet! The average level is less than 50, but I have to go there... A scream that was close to a scream resounded. Even the rankers who regained their composure could not maintain their composure this time. After all, didn''t you choose a labyrinth rather than a dungeon? I can''t even imagine how dangerous it would be. Naturally, the point where the resentful arrow was directed was aimed at the player who was holding the button in the center of the banquet hall. Then there... . Huh? Why? No one picked it, so you picked it first? There was Jinhyuk shrugging his shoulders with an innocent face. And at that very moment. Pants... ! A blue light mana bounced around the players. Space movement began to activate. Really, what are you doing without stopping that damn bastard... Everyone get ready! Let''s start! Damn it! Gangjin... heh! Leaving behind everyone''s swear words. The surroundings turned black. When my vision returned after a while, everything had changed. [You have entered the ''Valley of Previous Kings'' on the 25th floor of the Tower of Trials.] A place reminiscent of an ancient temple unfolded. Several spires soaring as if they could touch the sun. A pair of stone statues stood with their swords crossed over each other''s heads. And. Between them was a passage large enough for a single person to enter. That''s the entrance to the labyrinth. Great. It''s been a long time since I''ve seen this place, and the scale is so grand. Jinhyuk let out a small exclamation. Heartily. He seemed to understand why travelers leave their comfortable hotels and go through hardships exploring the backcountry. Such a spectacle was something you would never see in a resort. right then Kang Jinhyuk player! What were you thinking of doing this! Maria, who was teleported together, shouted. The white face... What? Like a scared hamster? Who would have expected that the great mage, who was praised by everyone so much and was so terrified, would be so terrified? Um. You don''t seem to like this place? Everyone, of course! Who chooses such a nonsensical floor! Even half... no, it would be a miracle if even one person survived... Maria blurred the horse''s tail. That''s how the eyes are dead. " " ...whoah. Some of the players teleported with Maria also looked full of despair. Of course, not everyone was like that. Hehe. "This is Jinhyuk Kang. My brother." Pleasure battle enthusiasts. Jude Law and Casey. The eyes looking at this are not serious. ''Hasting said there are people who smell dangerous, but it was these guys.'' I''ve heard many times that I''m crazy, but this is... It looks pretty dangerous. But at that very moment. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Another figure appeared with a group of blue lights. ''Oh. Did this guy come here too?'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. CH 158 . Faction Selection (2) huuuuuuuuuoooooooooooooooooo A new character appeared with a bright light. Liaoyu. He is the 2nd person in the Chinese Guild. Mr. Liaoyu! Maria welcomed Liaowi warmly. Due to randomly assigned traits, the current players are grouped into small groups and scattered. Therefore, even one person desperately needed a stronger power. Liaoyu also sighed in relief. Uh-huh. I''m glad. I''m coming to a place where talented people are... By the way. Liaoyu, who was speaking, blurs the tip of her speech halfway through. He found Jin-hyeok smoking in the corner. Did that person come here too? Yeah. I don''t like it either, but I think we have to be together. i See. Eududuk. The sound of molar grinding resounded very loudly. Naturally, I am angry because I have come to a place where the culprit for choosing such an outrageous difficulty level is. But the situation was so desperate that I couldn''t complain. ''I''ll be patient for now.'' The Chinese Guild and Samurai Guild are already partnering with the huge power ''Murim''. It means that we are occupying an advantageous position that cannot be compared with others as far as the power selection battle is concerned. In the end, no matter how many flying and crawling figures, both hands and feet will be tied this time. Thinking like that, it felt like the core that had built up inside was loosening up a bit. Heh heh. Heung-heung. Heh heh. Jinhyeok hummed a hum and looked at the entrance to the labyrinth, whether he knew the truth or not. The main theme of this labyrinth is ''protecting the graves of our ancestors''. Naturally, there were countless traps waiting inside. ''It''s a clich, but I will mercilessly kill the invaders who disturb the rest of the dead kings. Well, that''s what it means.'' right then Now let''s go in. Kang Jin-hyuk player, welcome too. Maria called Jinhyuk. When Jinhyuk joined, detailed explanations about the raid continued in earnest. First, let me give you a brief explanation. There are currently six people. One tank, two melee dealers, two ranged dealers, and one sub healer. The numbers were not enough, but fortunately, they had a good balance. The Ururu formation will never collapse at once. I''ll be as careful as I can and go inside step by step with a Treasured sword. I''ll try to figure out traps from the rear, with the most experience in the labyrinth, so please follow my instructions. All right. Let''s do that. Damn. Even if it''s on the 25th floor, it won''t be impossible if we just do what we''ve been doing. Everyone nodded. The front-line tanker took center, followed by the short-range dealers and the long-distance dealers respectively. Since the individual skills were so good, even with a small number, the formation seemed quite solid. And. Jinhyuk, seeing that, smiled. ''It''s a textbook.'' But that''s all. In the first place, the traps here are not the kind that can survive just by being prepared. Of course, since you''ve never been here before, you probably don''t know that. ''Where should I go soon.'' Jinhyuk moved without warning. jerk. In the silence that you can even feel your heart beating. Everyone raised their senses in their entire body. Because they did not know when and where the trap would be triggered, the tension was at its peak. The moment when Maria, who was at the very end, passed between the stone statues on both sides. kukukuku! Suddenly, the earth axis began to vibrate violently. It''s a trap. I''ll open the shield! Maria shouted. Tankers set their shields high, and dealers lowered their bodies and prepared themselves to fly anywhere. I didn''t know what kind it was, but I could instinctively sense that something unusual was about to happen. [Listen to the bugs that have invaded the Valley of the Past Kings!] A voice like scraping iron echoed throughout the valley. The sound came from above. Exactly from the place where there are two stone statues. "Is it a monster ?" No. There is no sign of moving. Maria drew the line firmly. The stone statue did not move as if it had been nailed to its place. At least I didn''t have to fight against those giant giants. But why? Maria''s face froze colder than ever at the vicious energy that engulfed her whole body. Something is strange. The situation It''s not serious. the moment I felt that way. [The law requires proper punishment for robbers. Where are you going to receive the wrath of the kings with that lowly body!] Translucent waves were emitted from the sword the stone statue was holding. Pants... ! can''t be avoided Because the wavelength range was so wide, players had to cover the light completely. Wow! aaah! [Physical defense and magic defense change to 0!] [Critical strike chance is increased by 100%!] [All resistance to penetration attacks disappears.] [All resistance to 5 elemental elements disappears!] [All of the unique abilities and skills related to defense have their effects .] The countless status windows that appeared were sentences announcing death. I can''t feel mana from the shield..., mana. Maria muttered with a dismayed face. It would have been better if that light was an attack. The debuff that the stone statue fell to was at a desperate level. Hey, this can''t be... "How could there be such an absurd restriction?" Are you saying that if you fall into a trap even once, you''re going to die? Moreover, seeing that the similar kind of wave was felt from afar, the players teleported to another place must have been in the same situation. With this, the probability of surviving in the labyrinth has infinitely converges to zero. It''s a natural thing. A tank who needs to take the lead with confidence. Sub-dealers who need to apply shields or buffs just in case. Even the main dealers who have to believe in one survival skill and dig into the enemy line. Because everyone had lost their wings. so that. none of the people here. He didn''t realize that one of the party had disappeared. Colok. Uh huh. With the damp air... Jinhyuk entered the labyrinth and looked around. front and back left and right. A passage where you don''t know where it leads. In the dark, all he had to rely on was the dim glowstones on the wall. However, there was no tension in Jinhyuk''s face. ''If it''s even rubbed and you die, shouldn''t it be okay if you don''t get hit?'' I don''t know why no one realized that simple fact. If it were, I wouldn''t be so frustrated. Oh ! ''It would be impossible for other people to attack with no-hit here.'' I guess it was me who didn''t think deeply. Anyway, I always think of it as my standard, so it''s a problem. Jinhyuk bowed his head briefly toward the entrance of the labyrinth as a sign of reflection. Still out there, the panicked players probably don''t know what to do. It means that the powers are moving right and wrong in the early stages that are most importantly watched. ''It seems that Karma 1st place has already been decided.'' Jinhyuk, who relaxed lightly, picked up a stone that had fallen on the floor. Then he threw stones towards the inside of the passage. Boo woo woo! The stone that drew the parabola did not go very far. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Whoops! kwaang! The place I thought was the floor went down like sand. Dozens of fire arrows and ice skewers crossed both sides of the wall. All of this happened in less than a second. ''It must be close to impossible for a player who has lost the defensive ability to pass through this gap.'' No, even if it didn''t hit the waves, it wasn''t easy to survive here. Aren''t these traps just installed at the entrance? The further inside, the more complicated the pattern as well as the power, so it was not unreasonable to regard the Quest as a failure. However. That''s the story of normal players. ''It has nothing to do with me.'' Jinhyuk walked over to the wall next to him. I saw a stone wall with intricate runes and ancient languages written on it. ''Obviously, it was like this... .'' When I wiped away the cobwebs and dust with my palms, the engraved letters were clearly visible. ''found.'' Even though it has been a long time since I have been here, the experience of letting people stay at home does not disappear. Therefore, no matter how high the floor was, the advantages of the deceased did not fade. Because, like right now, there was a back road that could get through even the most difficult places. In order to reinterpret the magic of barrier that builds the labyrinth, Jinhyuk even activated the ''imprint of the moon''. [''Moon Imprint'' responds to ancient languages!] A soft light emanated from the tattoo on his shoulder. At the same time. A crack occurred in a part of the solid wall. A blue line began to be drawn along the wall. The line then continued in the form of a rectangle. [The passage leading to the tomb of the previous king has appeared.] [Only one door can be selected per person.] [Remaining time: 0h:0m:60s] Five doors were completed. At the top of the door was a symbol representing the five elements, and each element was emitting intense light as if it were alive and breathing. Jinhyuk scanned the symbols one by one. Fire, water, earth, wind, light. Whichever way you choose, it will not be an easy road. Because that passage was connected with the named monsters that symbolize the 5 elements. Of course, if you want to defeat one of those bastards when your defense is nerfed, you''ll have to fight for your life. Yes, if you fight, your chances of dying are overwhelmingly high. ''what if If you fight.'' Now 40 seconds. The sand grains in the hourglass fell quickly. Not much left now. Jinhyuk clenched and opened his fist. 10 seconds. The time has come to make a decision. But Jinhyuk still didn''t move. Instead, I summoned fangs and twin dragon swords from the subspace inventory. And at that very moment. [All the time has passed.] All the grains of sand fell. Kie-ee! with a harsh roar. Something started to come out of the five doors. Thanks to not making a choice, all the monsters inside were liberated. Whoops! The first to appear was a fire spirit that spews flames from its mouth. It was ''Salamander''. Although the size is only 1m, the salamander, one of the spirit beasts, was a threat in itself. How dare a human set foot here. I will cook it to the bone and then swallow it whole. The salamander flapped his tongue. Are you threatening me now? Are you going to kill me? It is my mission to get rid of the intruders. What''s more, if the target is a human that can''t be thrown away, it can be burned mercilessly. "You say ?" Jinhyuk glanced down. OK. mosquito! The sweet potato raised its tail high. As if the owner was angry at being threatened. kukuku kuk kuk! The atmosphere vibrated violently. Mythical beast and spirit beast that reign over monsters. And . The strongest living being at the top of all the food chains. There are ancient species. [Sweet Potato activates Lv4 ''Fear''!] CH 159 . Faction Selection (3) Okay. It''s been awhile since I''ve left the residence. It was so boring, really. I''m glad I was able to warm up thanks to the intruder. Ummm. How much fresh air is this? "Everyone it''s too loud. Be quiet." ''Sylphid'', the spirits of the wind in the form of an innocent girl. A ''Gnomish'', a spirit beast of the earth in the form of a small golem. ''Undine'', a water spirit water in the form of a mature woman. ''Wisp'', a spirit beast of light in the form of a troublesome boy. Spirit beasts of four attributes appeared through each door. Everyone seemed excited about the long-awaited outing, probably because they had been locked up for a long time. Of course, what I was excited about here was to play cruelly against the invaders. By the way. Huh? The wind spirit water that appeared the second time tilted her head. Something is strange. Aren''t the red lizards lying on their backs with their heads on the ground in front of her? Turn it off... He was trembling with his arms and legs sweating profusely. It was hard to believe that the Salamander was famous for being fierce. Hey, how did this happen? Why are you doing this? The spirits of the earth also opened their eyes wide. Soil dripped from his lips. Did he go crazy after being locked up for so long? Calm down, Salamander! You''re selling out the pride of the spirits, and you''re acting so pathetic! Everyone. Be quiet. The rest of the spirit beasts were equally embarrassed. right then Mooogi! Potatoes have activated Pierce. A loud roar echoed along the aisle. Mana, comparable to a dragon, took over the space. Aww! Ugh! Hey, this is...! creepy The faces of the spirit beasts changed to earth color in an instant. At the same time, I understood why the salamander was so scared and rolled up his tail. The reality is that even fully grown Mythical beasts and spirit beasts do not dare to approach the realm of the ancient species. The most special ''Ancient Dragon'' among ancient species Who can show their teeth in front? Not to mention, they are nothing more than intermediate spirits who have not yet become adults. The fight was almost over before it even started. "What are you doing? Is there an empty seat next to the fire lizard over there? Jinhyuk, who was sitting on the rock, shook his head. I didn''t know why humans were such ancient species, but the important thing now was not to resolve those questions. have to run faster than anyone. And more passionately than anyone else, you have to hit your head. It was only then that he could survive from that formidable ancient species. thud! thud! thud! thud! Soon after, all five spirit beasts bowed their heads. An intermediate spirit beast that symbolizes the five elements. Who would have imagined that you would see the faces of such proud bastards glowing red? However, this was not a dream or imagination, but a damn reality. Good job. Our sweet potato. Jinhyuk gently scratched the nape of the sweet potato. mosquito! The sweet potato closed her eyes and enjoyed the touch. It seemed quite satisfying to wag its tail softly. Then... . It''s a matter of how you deal with them. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. I don''t know if you guys know, but the sweet potato here is one of the outside directors of our Goin Corporation. To be precise, I am in the position of a sales director. In the end, our company is hiring interns because it is the second half of the recruitment season. How are you interested? Of course, refusal is death. Even if you fail, it is death. Kko, I really want to go in! me too! Even if we don''t know anything else, we''ll do our best for one mission! If I can be with the ancient servant, I must pursue it even to the end of hell. Hehe. I wish I could be quiet, but I''ll do it too. The spirit beasts clashed and raised their voices. As beings who enjoy a life close to eternal life, their obsession with life was different. Um. I''m proud to see everyone''s passionate interest in our company, but actually, I don''t like talking too much. I hope everyone understands. Whoops! A bright flame flickered at the tip of Jinhyuk''s finger. The power to force a coercive oath. It was the ''stigma of the soul''. When the stigma of the spirit beast was imprinted, the spirit beasts'' bodies twitched thinly. [The spirit beasts of the 5 elements pledge their obedience.] ''It''s like picking up gold that has completely fallen on the road.'' pounding! pounding! pounding! Jinhyuk''s heart was beating like crazy. In the past, it was an intermediate level spirit beast taming that could not even be attempted. Because they were so strong and made up of only tough guys to deal with. But the existence of an ancient species of sweet potato made the impossible possible. ''I''m growing much more efficiently.'' The way to see the top of the pagoda. Although the difficulty increased due to the variables of the character, good variables like this offset that part. It means that no matter how difficult it is, it can be dealt with sufficiently. ''No, not at that level.'' At the current pace, he might have surpassed past records. And even faster than expected. as if to prove it. T-tiring! A number of status windows appeared in a row. [You have earned 5,000 Karma points!] [Curma Karma Ranking] 1st place: Jinhyuk Kang (5,100P) 2nd place: Namgungcheon (450P) 3rd place: Yuseong Cheon (190P) 4th place: Maria (150P) 5th place: Patrick (130P) 6th place: Yoshio (125P) . The gap between the 2nd and 2nd place is not even comparable at all. After all, it would be a situation in which everyone would be unable to move freely. Jinhyuk slowly scans the rankings. It was only natural that Namgungcheon was at the top. It was also expected that Cheon Yoo-seong, who does not want to sit still, would run wild. Elise, everything is bothering you, so you won''t be interested in going through the traps. So, you can''t find it in the rankings. And. ''The rest of the people are probably just looking at each other for the penalty due to the defense nerf.'' If you touch it, you will be seriously injured and if you hit it you will die, but even if you have a strong heart, it will be difficult for you to enter the traps willingly. They are taking advantage of that psychological gap to suck honey in this way, but you shouldn''t expect this stalemate to last forever. ''At the most, after a few dozen minutes, I''ll make up my mind and start moving.'' That''s difficult. Even if the players were to die in large numbers, all the arrows of condemnation would be directed at you who chose the 25th floor. Before the idiots who are full of wins can take on a reckless challenge, they must finish the ''next level of work'' as soon as possible. Jinhyuk closed the Karma window. ''By the way, the time has come to show interest... .'' The moment I thought so. [Many factions show great interest in you!] [I commend you for your overwhelming performance in ''Empire''] [I am afraid of your existence in ''Murim''] [The existence of ''Ancient Sweet Potatoes'' in the ''Spirit Realm'' is interesting.] [A total of 13 small and medium-sized forces want to join you.] [The ''Third Force'' expresses a very strong affinity.] Indirect messages from each faction poured in. The Empire, the Moorim, and the Spirit Realm. As expected, a lot of big guys came in. If you include small and medium-sized forces, it seems to have made a strong impression on a fairly large number of forces. ''Well, if you''re not interested in seeing this, that''s crazy.'' Overwhelming performance and the ability to find a way out even in unfavorable situations. Above all, the meticulousness of weaving the entire board. Doesn''t it have all the advantages that factions eager to expand its territory want? From their point of view, just looking at them will make your mouth water. However, it was not the Moorim, the Empire, or the spirit world that caught Jinhyuk''s attention. third force. Hopefully, even these guys will come into contact. This is going to be fun Surprisingly, it may become possible to design more complex situations. haha . A dismayed laugh flowed from Penheimer''s mouth, the sword master of Caladium Kingdom. Even when the interested person picked the 25th floor of the tower, the atmosphere in the banquet hall quickly heated up. I had no choice but to do so. The current players will never be able to break through the labyrinth on the 25th floor with the skills they have. In particular, the debuff effect that ignores all defenses was a formidable shackle even if the target was a sword master. By the way. '' Are you saying you''re not afraid?'' The way everyone smiles leisurely even when everyone is bewildered. As if to show that this floor wasn''t just picked for no reason. certainty, not coincidence. Moments later, Penheimer''s expectations became a reality. After discovering the Hidden Route at the entrance of the labyrinth, the door of the 5 elements appeared behind. And there, the anticipation of which spirit beast to choose for battle was increased. But, please... . I''ll choose to fight all the five spirits. ''What the hell are you thinking?'' Penheimer unconsciously clenched his fist. To deal with five spirit beasts, each of which are named, at the same time, was suicidal. sure. All those worries were in vain. Unbelievable . Hey, those damn spirits curl their tails. It''s the first time I''ve heard of a player who is a guild of an ancient bell. There is no precedent for securing an ancient bell on our side. "What kind of method did you use ?" The faces of the residents on the second floor contorted in astonishment. The strongest creature that is hard to see even in the middle of the tower. It would have been amazing to see that, even the opponent was using such an ancient species completely like a limb. It was a scene that I had never imagined at all to see the supreme and docile ancient servant struggling to get the attention of his master. A long-time member of the Mo Yong-se family who has been representing Moorim. Mo Yong-su also felt a cold sweat running down his back. '' He was a much more dangerous person than I thought.'' Jinhyuk was aware of from the 5th floor of the elf forest, but that was only part of the battle. ''Does that mean that not only the armed forces they have, but also the knowledge of the tower is out of the norm?'' perhaps . I even thought that there was going to be a big change not only in the power structure of the middle class, but also in the entire tower. However. All those shocks were just a preview. Huh? What, what is that? Come on... wait a minute! In the next scene... . All the residents were at a loss for words. Come on, let''s get started! Jinhyuk nodded his head. OK. Earth! fire! wind! water! light! with shouts. The spirit beasts flew from all directions and gathered in one place. There were no mistakes or awkwardness because they were thoroughly pressed with fear and intimidation. ''Big!'' near-perfect action. It feels like my heart is getting bigger. However, this is not the end. Because the real climax started right now. When the five powers come together! The voices of the spirit beasts merged into one. Spirit Special Forces! Just like superheroes. Five spirit beasts gathered in one place. Oooh! Jinhyuk jumped up from his seat. Sweet potatoes also make their eyes twinkle, ''Mosquito. Mosquito'' was fired. That''s right. All intern passed! Pair! Pair! Pair! Pair! As if Jinhyuk was genuinely admiring, he gave a thunderous applause. Even if I want to give it a disqualification, I can''t. Because he had an appearance scene that was more suitable for the deceased corporation than anyone else. That was when Jinhyuk was admiring him. [I want to talk to you in ''Empire''] [I want to talk to you in ''Murim''] Representatives of both factions spoke at the same time. Two were caught. caught This is the game I''ve been playing from now on. Jinhyuk took a deep breath. CH 160 . Faction Selection (4) [[''Murim''] You have accepted the page conversation request.] Jinhyuk nodded as if he was waiting. OK. An old man with white hair appeared sternly. ''It''s been a while since I''ve seen the Moorim Indians.'' Jinhyuk looked at his opponent as if he was interested. The other party also looked at him with a face mixed with all kinds of emotions. However, he quickly brought out the main point with his expression captured. "My name is Mo Yong-su, the oldest member of the Mo Yong-se family." Hey Mo Yong-se. good there You''re still one of the five generations, right? On behalf of Moorim, I''ll give you one chance. If you''re with us, you''ll especially forget all the stupid things you''ve done... [Interrupted conversation.] Apparently, this friend still doesn''t know who is G and who is Eul. Do I still have to say that having a lot of air in your lungs is so thick? [[''Murim''] The other side tries to request a conversation again.] [I refuse.] [[''Murim''] side ] [Block.] neatly resolved. great. Now next... . Jinhyuk accepted the conversation request from ''Empire''. Heh heh. Nice to meet you. I''m Penheimer of the ''Kalladium Kingdom'' belonging to the Empire. old-fashioned look. However, the mana flowing out of the voice did not belong to the criminal. indeed . Is it that he is one of the 100 sword masters that the Empire is proud of? I''ve been with Mr. Lee in the past, but it feels weird to have a conversation like this in real life. I''ve seen the impressive performance of player Jinhyuk Kang so far. You may feel tired of talking about it from a lot of factions, but I can''t help but admire. Penheimer''s smirk echoed pleasantly. Still, this young man knows how to make a contract. How do you get your partner to like you? How to make the other person comfortable and focus on the conversation, all. Of course, the words that came out of Jinhyuk''s mouth became softer than before. I''m Jinhyuk Kang. I''ve heard about the reputation of the Empire many times through the administrators. Hahaha! No words... Penheimer''s complexion brightened noticeably. When the other person likes you, you can''t help but be excited at the same time. Do you have a force in mind, Jinhyuk Kang? This is the force we have in mind... . Of course it is. However, I do not intend to play this tile recklessly. That''s what I''m going to think about slowly going forward. I have to choose the one that works for me. "No, of course. But " Ah! In that sense, may I ask you a favor? Yes? What if it''s a request? I thought the 25th floor was just fine, but I think other people don''t. So, I''d like you to negotiate a countermeasure. "If it''s a negotiation, are you saying that I should ask the manager directly?" That''s right. ...! At Jinhyuk''s words, Penheimer''s eyes turned round. It''s because I didn''t think I would make such a bold request like this at a time when I haven''t signed a contract yet. It''s a natural thing. This is a huge force that controls the middle of the tower. He''s a good player and he''s a promising player. The reality of the players was that they were nothing more than useful long-term horses compared to them. But what the heck is that, that cleverness? It''s like taking all initiatives and situations and shaking it, isn''t it? ''Is it reckless? Or are you sure you are?'' The answer is unknown. At least for this moment. Penheimer bit his lower lip. "What kind of bargain do you want?" Um... ''survival right'' It would be fine. The right to guarantee survival is the right to finish without dying even if caught in a trap, and it can only be used with the approval of at least an intermediate manager. It sounds good, but nothing is free in this world. Since this authority exerts a huge influence on the system, a huge amount of coins were consumed, and various other penalties were to be imposed. Simply put, it means that even a large force cannot easily use it. Penheimer swallowed dry saliva. It was obvious how he could get away with this offer, turning his head. "Intermediate If you''re a manager, I know that Jinhyuk-sama is also close." Yes. If not, can''t I ask you directly? That''s true, but then I owe Mr. Rick a debt. If you have someone in front of you who can replace you, why do you have to throw away a hand that can be used? Asking Rick is something I plan to do when it is more desperate and important than this. ...Indeed, you''re saying you''ll never see any damage. I learned that if you want to survive in the tower, you must not lose a single bean. Puhahaha! Such a selfish heart. If it''s to go up, of course it should. Except for cancer. Penheimer went mad. He seemed to like Jinhyuk''s candid and candid appearance without pretense. Can I take it as a sign of granting my request? Yes. It is safe to say that it has been accomplished. Of course, I hope that both Jinhyuk Kang and us will not forget about the kindness we have given you. Okay. Of course, you should remember. The memory is sure to be good. However, it''s only a matter of remembering well. Anyway, with this, the defense of the rest of the players is over. At least at the end of the raid, valuable prospects will be spared from being killed. No, where is that? If it is revealed who built these defenses, the place to which the cheers and applause of all the people in the world would go was determined. Give me a bottle and give me medicine. Does this work pretty well? [All players will be moved to the ballroom when they are killed by traps and monsters in the labyrinth. However, if you even touch it with an attack, all the Karma you have collected so far will be destroyed.] [However, death due to battles between players or other battles is not recovered.] [This permission has been activated by player Jinhyuk Kang.] A status message appeared in front of all players. This . An earthquake struck Maria''s pupil. He realized what it meant to go to the ballroom when he died. The rest of the players realized the meaning of the status message a little later. Wait, I guess. Did you choose this place with this in mind? We didn''t even know that, and we were busy swearing. The one who disappeared a while ago didn''t run away, but went to do something for everyone. It''s true. I only resented people who were strict. It''s really different, it''s different. With us... The atmosphere became somber. At the same time, even if everyone criticized me, I looked back at the rankers who silently did their job. What kind of weight it must bear to climb a tower for mankind. sure. Not everyone was like that. It''s not that! Don''t you know? Everyone''s playing around with his tricks? Liaoyu put a blood on her neck. Others may have deceived you, but not you. These must all be designed by Jinhyuk to wash his image. However, despite Liaowi''s earnest cry, the reaction of those around him was cold. Liaowi-sama. What do you mean by that now? Maria raised her eyes. Look at it coolly. That phrase! Doesn''t it say that if Karma even stumbles into an attack, it''s all gone? It is originally Karma that will disappear only after death. However, due to Jinhyeok''s intervention, even if he is injured, the Karma he has accumulated so far has been changed to disappear. It is said that gathering Karma and connecting with advantageous forces has become much more difficult. Liaowi-sama. Now we can save ''lives''. They say Karma is important, but is it as important as our lives? Mary, you''re right. I didn''t ask you to give me a bag when I saved someone from drowning. You don''t have to be thankful for people. "China doesn''t seem to know how to thank you." A cold reaction followed. In the end, Liaoyu curled up. ''Damn it.'' why the hell Is it that such a selfish and pretentious person has won all the praise? If I hadn''t picked the 25th floor in the first place, my life wouldn''t have been in danger. Everyone could have competed on much better terms! However, if he opened his mouth one more time, he would be buried as it was, so Liaoyu had no choice but to mourn inwardly. right then [Things went wrong. Remove Kang Jin-hyuk.] A familiar voice dug into Liaoyu''s ear. It was a mockery of the Moorim forces. "Are you saying that I have to deal with ?" Liaoyu asked with a confident face. Liaoyu herself knew better than anyone that a 1:1 match with Jinhyuk was difficult. [do not worry. Because your role is not a battle.] A one-time protection that can be received from the forces. ''Hyunhyun (@@)''. The moment Liaoyu meets Jinhyuk. [I will stop his breath.] Mo Yong-su, who was at the ballroom, will appear into the labyrinth to directly kill Jin-hyeok. About 3 hours had passed since I entered the labyrinth. More than half of the players were eliminated. No matter how much raw meat they were rankers, it was not enough to avoid all the traps on the 25th floor. Ultimately, the number of dropouts increased exponentially over time. sure. In the meantime, Jinhyuk was running through the labyrinth at high speed. Was this crazy speed run possible because he was a dead person who had memorized all the patterns? It wasn''t wrong, either, but it was thanks to a more efficient method than that. If even one arrow touches my body, tonight under the sweet potato. It''s all gathered over the moss on the wall. Jinhyeok put a threat. Hey! Okay, so stop threatening. We''re doing our best too! Sue, I feel like I''m out of breath. I want to live. I want to die. Do I really want to live? I''d rather kill you! Everyone is so noisy. But I think it''s hard for me too. Naturally, the spirit beasts performed their own elemental magic with all their might. Whoops! kwaaang! As the walls of ice and fire collided with various traps, colorful sparks arose. ''Left here.'' Jinhyuk, who turned the corner, accelerated even more. The body strengthened by the ''Sword Demon King Bo'' swept past the ground like the wind. fault! fault! A rapidly changing field of view. All the small attacks were blocked by the spirit beasts, so mana was able to survive. And there is only one reason to save stamina and mana like this. ''Perhaps it will move from the Moorim and Chinese side.'' Yes. This is exactly why. Since Mo Yongsu and Liaoyu were stimulated in part, the drug must be very tight. ''It won''t work at Liaowi level, so if you want to kill me [Using Biho, Mo Yong-su will manifest himself.''] How the opponent would move roughly had already been conceived in his head. All that remains is how perfect the script is to make sure the characters faithfully fulfill their roles. Not far now. KwaKwaKwa Kwa Kwa Kwa! Puffy! Kakakan! To protect Jinhyeok, the spirit beasts who had been shooting skills for nearly 3 hours were already on the verge of exhaustion. However, it doesn''t matter now. Because I could see the end of the passage in the distance. That was then. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Suddenly, a bright light flashed from beneath her feet. At the same time, dozens of thorn vines rushed towards Jinhyuk''s body. It was a double trap that was triggered using the time difference. But right before the vines completely engulf Jinhyuk''s body. [The Tomb of the Sword is activated!] A black river rose from ''fangs''. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Green body fluid spurted from the vines cut into dozens of fragments. A double trap or a surprise surprise won''t work. It has been a long time since the various traps were outside Jinhyuk''s interest. How many minutes did it run? Finally, Jinhyeok, who got out of the aisle, stood tall in his seat. One of the few caves in the labyrinth, 100m wide. If they were ambush, this was the most likely candidate. By the way. Of course, the players of the Chinese Guild or the characters of Moorim were not seen. instead. Kick Kick! Hehe. It''s finally here. There were people waiting for Jinhyuk who he didn''t want to face the most. CH 161 . pleasure battle maniac Casey and Jude Law. If I had to pick a person that players would not like to meet the most... . These two will definitely be on the top list. I''m sorry for the first meeting, can''t we stop laughing at people? Jinhyuk did not hide his burdensome look. No, seriously. If I smile like that, I''m afraid that it might come out in my dreams. Why does everyone hate when we laugh? That''s right. We''re here to kindly help. Help? Yeah. The bad guys here were looking for you. If you were attacked, you''d be in a lot of trouble. Because you had a lot of memorization and poison. So we chopped it up. So that you don''t touch him again. with those words. Jinhyuk''s nose twitched. It really is. A thick bloody smell, which had not been exuded until a while ago, began to pierce the tip of his nose. ''Did you block out the smell and presence with something like a skill?'' The corpses of masked men with their faces covered in black came into view. twelve in total. It seemed to specialize in assassinations rather than all-out warfare, but even so, the two of them were able to subdue the residents from Moorim. It''s not for nothing that it''s notorious. With that much skill backed up, I guess I''ll be able to survive even after doing such a thing. Jinhyuk quickly activated the ''Eyes of Gluttony''.

Afterwards, they succeeded in revenge, but their feelings had already dried up. Now, I am more focused on killing itself rather than implementing justice for the wicked, but for some reason I have a very strong crush on you. If you accept their affection and accept them as a member of the Goin Corporation, you will be able to copy the unique ability ''All Things''. (However, the meaning of ''accepting'' as a member here means that the process of redemption through the ''stigma of the soul'' has been completed.)] After losing their parents to a serial killer, the dolls have become machines that only repeat revenge and slaughter. Did something like this happen? Bitter car like Demon God. Jinhyuk''s lips twisted. By the way. Yes? Jinhyuk, who was reading the conditions, rubbed his eyes with his hand. Did I see it right now? I was at a loss for words for a moment at the very absurd content. I blinked my eyes to see, but the written text did not change. This is a fucking reality. ''Is these guys coming to my company?'' It''s a place where only insane people are gathered, so in a way it would fit well. I don''t think the bed is comfortable. Do I have to say that I feel like someone will come to my bedside in the middle of the night? In any case, it was as obvious as fire that the dream spot would become chaotic. But, let''s put it aside, ''everything is shared'' ability is too low If you have the ability to share your abilities with someone you feel connected to... . If the conditions are met, it means that you can even use the abilities of Elise and Sweet Potato. The worries didn''t last long. If you put a few safeguards in place, there''s a certain person who can lead this relationship. Thanks for taking care of those annoying bastards. Thanks for saving me an hour. like that. made a decision To get on the same boat with them. 2nd floor of the ballroom. Here, each of the powers gathered and was engaged in a sharp war of nerves. The theme is, by far, which force attracts the best prospects. And. The person who laughed the loudest at this ball was Penheimer from the Empire. Although he paid a large price to the manager, he owed Jinhyuk a debt. So Penheimer leaned back on the soft sofa with a relaxed expression. was looking at the screen. I envy you. This recruitment will make the empire stronger. Maybe the power of the tower will change. That player. We looked carefully, but among the residents of the middle class, I''ve never seen a guy who fights so well. After 100 Sword Masters, 11 Knights, and 7 Magical Troops, another card will be added. That would be enough to aim for hegemony in the middle class. This is it, Won, Moorim has become completely cold-hearted. It was a bonus to receive the envious gaze of everyone. ''Damn it... .'' Mo Yong-su bit his molars. It was not enough to have dared to cut off his conversation, so he cut off the conversation altogether. He was right on the verge of joining hands with the Empire, which could be called a rival, so of course he was angry. Above all, even the people brought from Haomun had lost contact, so the anxiety that Mo Yongsu felt right now was beyond my imagination. If I couldn''t finish this job here and even went back to the Moorimmaeng... . He didn''t know that Mo Yong-se''s whole prestige would fall to the ground, as well as simply damage his honor. No, it may not end there. ''If I give the Empire a chance and they invade Moorim, then I will have to sacrifice my life.'' When he recalled the worst-case scenario, Mo Yong-soo''s eyes lit up with cold life. It was no longer possible to cover the means and methods. We have to go and kill Jin-hyeok right now and block the variable. That way, the balance of the middle class will continue to be maintained. But it was then. Mo Yong-soo. A black shadow fluttered behind Mo Yong-su. At the same time, the chill that made my spine shiver swept over me. Are you here? The Great Master of Blood.... The words that came out of their mouths were a title that should never come out of those who belonged to a political faction. Because the blood demon was the one who led the demonic blood demon that said that we cannot live under one sky. Fufufu. Even thinking about it again, this was a lot of fun. I didn''t know that the dignified sects would ask us for help again. I don''t know if I''m going to get some hate if I do this. Keep your voice down. It should never be known that we are together. It''s okay. I''m also in a pretty embarrassing situation if I''m known to the school. The blood lord shrugged. Although Moorimmaeng and Magyo were enemies, if they fight to death, they will not be able to avoid destruction. It means that it will only make other factions laugh. For that reason, some awake, such as Mo Yong-su and the Great Blood Demon, used to secretly wage a joint front in this way, avoiding the eyes of the Moorimmaeng and Magyo. Not a clan, but only holding hands for a while for the public good. By the way. Did Hao Mun''s idiots fail in the end? Yes. Annihilated. Although his skills were less than first-class, he was still good at memorizing and self-defense, so I brought him here. Rather than grab Jinhyuk''s ankle, he''ll be annihilated at the hands of the wrong players. That''s why you shouldn''t use idiots. The situation has come to block it with sputum, which is blocked with a hoe. Then, who can we get rid of? In addition to Kang Jin-hyuk, there are others who follow him. Mo Yongsu flicked his finger lightly. Then Cheon Yuseong and Teresa Ellis appeared. Ah! This man. He is a very good swordsman. He was a rare talent even in Moorim, but it''s a bit unfortunate that he had to kill him. The blood lord has lost his appetite. If the situation did not turn out like this, the talent and ability Cheon Yoo-seong showed was so great that I would want to join the Bloodguilt right away. In particular, it was difficult to find a person who handled the Chuhon Sword that much, even in the whole of Moorim. The blood demon''s gaze shifted to the side. There was a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. If it''s Teresa, you''re like the girl who was late for the ball, right? Yeah. Outside the tower, she''s called the Saint of Amsterdam. Hmm. It''s quite interesting to be a color blind man. And what about the last one? I don''t know either. Little is known about it. I tried to find out through the intelligence department of the Moorimmaeng, but I couldn''t find any information about the person named Elise. Well, we''ll take care of this woman, too. It''s just a matter of adding one or two more. Which device will avoid the administrator''s eyes? It was quite a headache, but I''m ready for it. You''ll have to pay it back. It''s a new thing I brought from the school''s Vigo. Don''t worry about that part. Isn''t it a virtue of our faction to definitely liquidate the Eunwon relationship? Fuhahaha! That''s also true. ''great .'' The two smiled contentedly. Although he was officially invited to the masked ball, he couldn''t go inside the labyrinth unless he used the ''protection of the forces''. The blood demons and blood demons who infiltrated here were the exceptions. They clean up the rest of the little bastards. If there is a situation in which Moorim''s Liaowi faces Jinhyuk... . right then He himself will take the initiative and put an end to the man who will become the spark of danger. Fifteen minutes had passed since I had accompanied Casey and Jude Law. Jinhyuk felt that time was like 15 years. I had no choice but to do so. The conversation we''re having right now is far from normal, even if it''s too far. So, he said he was rude to my brother. I kept stabbing him with this. Where else were his thighs and calves? Clavicle! Collarbone! Oh right. It was the collarbone. Casey smiled like a child and showed the iron needle in her hand. The saliva soaked in brown blood flew back and forth in front of Jinhyuk''s eyes. Damn, just being with you makes me feel nauseous. I have no idea why these guys have a crush on me. By the way, may I ask why you killed those guys for me? Because you smell good blood! That''s right. It''s really sweet. The smell of blood from hyung is completely different from other people. the smell of blood? Come to think of it, Elise and her blood relatives also said the same thing... . I mean, wasn''t that something only vampires could take on? Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. perhaps Maybe something has changed since I saw the top of the tower. More than I thought. But thinking about this is not a priority. ...if I liked it. Huh? You mean you won''t do anything that harms me? At Jinhyuk''s question, the two nodded faster than anyone else. I''m even worried that I''ll get dizzy by nodding so quickly. of course. Your brother is special. Rather, we plan to kill all those who treat him badly, right? That''s right. Cut them in half and kill them. And as a warning, I''ll freeze them and display them in the middle of town. On the surface, they appear to be completely impeccable children, but their words and actions are at a level that even Alice should not be able to open them. If the three of us put them together, there will be a contest to see who is the worst. [''Eyes of Gluttony'' determines the truth of what the target is saying.] [What the two of them are saying is the ''truth''.] At least that''s true. ''I lost both my parents when I was young, and a crooked sense of justice and cruel affection coexist... .'' A sword that combines both purity and strength. Maybe there is a place to use this, maybe? If it''s in the labyrinth, I think it''s okay to go with you. However, you shouldn''t kill or torture people recklessly. Especially if the target is an innocent person. Jinhyuk drew the line first. what? Ha, but! The two of them opened their rabbit eyes as if they could not understand. If you don''t like it, I''ll go away. "Oh, that''s! Ah I see. I won''t kill you recklessly can''t I just pull out my toenails?" no. So, what about the bad guys? It''s okay, but don''t be too harsh. If my brother says that... I''ll have to put up with it... well. I''ll put up with it. The two of them bowed their heads with weary faces. CH 162 . Gwihyeoldaeju, ''Yeomho (׻)'' (One) After making an intern offer to Goin Corporation. When the ''stigma of the soul'' was engraved on the two, the whole process was over. Naturally, both Casey and Jude Law enjoyed being branded. Do I have to say that I get goosebumps from the standpoint of watching? Blonde hair, blue eyes, and pure white skin... . I think it''s even scarier because twin brothers and sisters who look so beautiful that they can even be called dolls are like this. ''Still, it''s not bad because it''s a card that can be used in moderation.'' Not only in this labyrinth right now, but in the future as an assistant who can be summoned whenever needed. They were both quite useful. Most of all, it was the biggest harvest that satisfies the copying conditions. [You have copied the unique ability ''All Things (f鹲)''.] [Shared with all] Acquisition Difficulty: A Content: Depending on how well you understand the person you are sharing with, you will be able to share each other''s unique abilities and skills, as well as memories and emotions. A unique ability that can be shared depending on the level of understanding. ''The conditions are abstract, but that''s because the Tower of Trials was so mangem, I can''t help it.'' Moreover, for Jin-hyeok, who has already experienced all kinds of abilities and compatibility, this level of difficulty was not a big deal. But that was then. Ka-Ah! Kang! Aww! aaah! In the distance, screams and screams began to be heard. As if the battle had just begun, I could feel all kinds of mana running rampant along the way. And among them . ''Oh.'' A fairly familiar kind of mana was also mixed in. let''s go. Jinhyuk took out ''fangs''. Oh! Are you fighting? It''s gonna be fun! Casey and Jude Law also opened their subspace inventory with twinkling eyes. uuung! What appeared there was Hellbird, who was taller than the two siblings. At least 50kg seems heavy enough. Indeed, it is a weapon that looks bloody at first glance. Are you saying that you want to pursue practicality alone, excluding things like elegance and fashion? The combination of weapons that seeks destructive power in contrast to the agility that comes from a small body might fit surprisingly well. ''It''s annoying when you meet enemies, but it''s reassuring when you''re allies.'' At least that blade won''t go this way. Oh, brother. Huh? Are the kids you''re fighting the bad guys or the good guys? Casey asked with an innocent expression. Seriously, I said I could kill the bad guys. On the other hand, if a good person is a good person, a restriction is placed on him not to give his hand recklessly. As a kind of safety device to stop the ruthless bastards. Jinhyuk looked at the distant place. This is undoubtedly... . They''re bad guys. You can feel the unique inner strength of Moorim. The top and bottom are all unified in black, and the word "Ear" () in red painted over it. About forty men were building a perfect encirclement with their swords drawn. There are three men and women trapped inside. It was Elise, Cheon Yu-seong, and Theresa. "Huh huh huh " Ha ha ha ha ha. Cheon Yoo-sung and Teresa were on the front line, breathing heavily. " " Elise was standing alone in the back and observing the situation. If we fought under the right circumstances, these guys could have turned to dust in a matter of days... . Not now. Because he had been away from Jinhyuk for a long time, there was only mana left who could barely maintain his body. Fuhaha! This is a real spectacle. Yeom-ho, the great blood demon, who was watching all the scenes, burst into a madness. How could it not be enjoyable? A blood demon who is in charge of one part of the magician''s elite. Even though they came with a whopping forty number, they couldn''t easily win? Three of the demons were killed by Cheon Yu-seong''s sword, but Yeom-ho''s heart pounded rapidly with the overwhelming emotions. "Indeed, he''s a talented person worthy of being called a swordsman. And a woman with color eyes is not easy." The dances Cheon Yu-seong and Teresa showed were so amazing that it was hard to see them as a player. When the Four Seasons of the Soul Sword was demonstrated, even he was surprised. ''I''m getting more and more greedy.'' He promised to kill Mo Yong-su, but the more he looked at Cheon Yu-seong, the more different thoughts came to his mind. It''s too bad to die like this. Yes. If such a ruthless man learns even the magic of magic... . Because I could already see how great the effect would be. End it soon. Oh. Don''t kill that guy. Jon name! At Yeom-ho''s command, the demonic band moved. Sussuk! Light footwork that rubs against the ground. The passers-by, who moved as if they were measured with a ruler, showed how hard they had been trained. Uh-huh... Cheon Yu-seong cleared his breathing. The situation in which both stamina and mana were exposed due to the continued battle. Even standing right now, let alone a battle, felt like a miracle. Nevertheless, the tip of the sword did not waver. The sword still stretched forward. Are you still going to fight? I admit that I''m obsessive, but there''s no chance of a win for you guys already. One of the demons opened his mouth. Maybe. Cheon Yu-seong did not deny that statement. However, it cannot be broken here. If I had fallen like this, I wouldn''t have climbed all the way up here. More than anything. ''If it''s a guy... I will never give up.'' A goal that always stood in the way like a mountain. The strongest rival that will slip away if you approach it as if you could hold it in your hand. if it''s him No matter how desperate the situation, I will not be discouraged or despair. Turning the impossible into possible was the specialty of that rotten deceased. Pants... ! A blazing blue flame erupted from the sword. ''To get one step closer to that monster... .'' The tangible energy supported the wounded body. ''And in order to one day jump over that monster... !'' [The unique ability ''Song of the Sword'' is activated!] [''The Soul Sword'' answers the master''s call.] I don''t know how many hours I held the sword. He simply repeats the consequences of the sword he can handle the most, repeated countless times. [[''One Swordsman (һ)] It is activated!] right at that moment. The air changed rapidly. Remains began to be drawn on the land that could not withstand the qi. kukukuku! A blue light that made my eyes shiver was engulfed in the sword and body. This is the whole sword. It is a state that only those who become one with the sword can bring it out. ! This !? Even the gwihyeoldae, who had gone through all the prenatal care, had no choice but to panic this time. Maybe it was because he didn''t expect that someone with this kind of energy would be outside the tower. bang! With the sound of spurting the ground, the new model of Cheon Yuseong disappeared. It''s on the left! I screamed urgently, but it was already too late. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Aww! Shit! Once a sword wind swept through, a fountain of blood spewed out. A speed that is difficult to discern with the naked eye and a sword attack that turns that speed into its greatest strength. Therefore, standing in front of Cheonyuseong required the determination to face the typhoon head on. Don''t panic, keep your jin! Kakakan! Kaaan! The sword and the sword collided, and red flames rose. strong. just overwhelming. When Teresa added it, the situation was completely reversed. I''ll support you! huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The divine light ''Blessing of the Stars'' and ''Song of Battle'' that came down from the sky protected Cheon Yu-seong''s body. Teresa, too, can''t do much because she''s reached her limit, but even a small help like this felt too heavy for the demons. But. The sword of Cheon Yu-seong, which had been moving all over the place, stopped at some point like a lie. A 2m-long window was blocked. Really a monster. This is a bigger thing than I thought. I didn''t know I could do this with that body. " " Kaga! Qi and Qi gnawed at each other. Of course, it was obvious who had the upper hand. "My name is Yeom-ho, the ghost blood lord. As Moo-rim''s senior, I''ll concede the tax." I''m not a Moorim person. Find such a nonsensical law among yourself. Hmm. It''s rough. But you''ll soon be dipping into Moorim too. I took you. Yeomho shrugged. That''s funny. Why? Do you think no? If you die, you''re dead. I don''t want to be with you guys. The desire to do anything to become stronger. That is the most magical instinct... You may not know it yet, but you have the same roots as us. In a low-pitched, but, confident voice. Yeomho prophesied. "One day you will surely come to us." the future is set " " Cheon Yuseong nervously bounced the spear. And in an instant, it took over a new space and created a gap. Hey. You haven''t given up yet. Yeomho also gently swung the spear counterclockwise. Kaaan! Again, the attack was blocked. Unlike Yeomho, who felt relaxed, Cheon Yuseong did not have much time left. At most two or three sums. That''s the limit. And because I knew that. Cheon Yuseong had no choice but to move forcefully. A blow that was swung while giving up all defense. No, this wasn''t an attack, it was more like a guinea pig. Because his whole body was exposed and his movements were too big. sure. It was not a salt lake to be subjected to such an attack. Eat! It''s coming out like that too. You don''t have to face a blow that''s close to a gamble. Yeomho took the place of defense by widening the distance rather than being attacked. It was the worst response for Cheon Yu-seong, whose stamina had fallen. Boo Woong! Boo-woong! The speed of the sword that cut through the air dropped rapidly. Once, twice, and three times. now He didn''t even have the strength to move even a single fingertip. changgang. The sword fell from his fingertips and rolled on the floor. "Damn eat." "But, I tried my best. There aren''t that many people in Moorim who can work with me." Yeomho retrieved the spear. Neither Cheon Yuseong nor Teresa can fight, so now it''s the silver-haired girl''s turn. ''It must mean that you are not very confident in battle to stand still while your comrades are being attacked.'' Just add the effort of beating the chicken head and everything will be done. "If you stay calm, I promise to send you pain-free." The tip of the spear headed towards Alice''s neck. OK. Alice, who had been silent, slowly opened her mouth. You''ve had a bigger problem than me. Are we in trouble? Yeah. They''re all going to die after a while. I advise you to run away now before it''s too late. There are still a few seconds left. Khahahaha! Are you talking about me? The corners of Yeom-ho''s lips twisted slightly. It''s so funny that I can''t stand it. No, I think I''ll have to suck some blood to get stronger. I''ll give you another baby instead. "Are you waiting for the guy who asks if it''s Kang Jin-hyuk or something? If that''s the case, then you''re holding on to vain hopes. I''ve heard about him, but like the guy here, you won''t be able to even touch my collar." Well. When I saw it... Elise slowly scanned the sides of the salt lake and the ghost blood band up and down. It''s like a gaze that sees through to the bottom of your potential. You''re not too young at your level. at the end of that word. Whew! A gust of wind rose. What, what is this? An earthquake occurred in the pupil of the salt lake. Obviously, the senses in his whole body were sharpened. Because he didn''t even know that someone was approaching him. Chi profit! Smoke billowed above the ground. This is a phenomenon that only appears when the ''Sword Demon King Bo'' is used to the limit. The sparks still on the ground showed how absurdly the subject was sprinting. Your guy... Yeomho opened his eyes. The number one target that Mo Yong-su had told him to be so careful with. It was Jinhyuk who appeared in front of him. That''s what I said. You''re all dead. Sharp fangs appeared between Alice''s lips. CH 163 . Gwihyeoldaeju, ''Yeomho (׻)'' (2) It''s not too late. Jinhyuk wiped the dust off his body. I ran with all my might, and my white coat had completely faded away. I bought this for 30,000 won at Dongdaemun Market... . "Kang Jinhyuk." Yeom-ho''s eyes narrowed. Unlike a while ago, there is a lot of tension in it. I had no choice but to do so. Because the speed I showed you just before was far beyond common sense. ''I That''s enough to miss.'' Dry saliva ran down Yeomho''s throat. At least two steps higher than what I heard from Mo Yong-su. No, maybe even higher than that... . But there is no need to be afraid. Isn''t the opponent''s defense all nerfed? Even if it swiped, it could inflict a fatal blow, so in this fight, this side had an absolute advantage. ''Because even the man named Cheon Yu-seong couldn''t break the shackles and knelt down. So will you.'' Yeomho nodded to the side. Then the guinea pigs prepared to fight in unison. Swords and swords, as well as swords, axes, sickles, and other weapons were covered in blue light. Pursuing practicality to the extreme is indeed a magical choice. Be careful... do it. It won''t be easy. Cheon Yoosung, who was sitting on the floor, managed to open his mouth. This guy is so... . Even if you act like that, you can''t lose your shit form. "Are you robbed of a fictitious day by a swordsman here and there?" What, what! Don''t get mad. I can''t even remember the last time I saw you win. Seriously, wouldn''t it be better to give up climbing the tower and focus on your studies? Come to think of it, I heard that medical school classes are very strict. Your grades may be flooding with F. I thought about the rest of the time, so I worried about it. Does the sound of you doing it as soon as you arrive is scratching other people''s nerves! Cheon Yoo-seong sharpened his molars. uhm. Have you touched your self-esteem too much? But, what about actually doing that? Are you getting ripped off like a neighborhood book? still. Seeing you get angry. There is still room for growth. Jinhyuk smiled and lightly fixed his fangs. "Jinhyuk-san. Those people they are strong." Theresa added a word. Not only did they block the Outbreak of Amsterdam, but the saint who had gone through all the antenatal care seemed to have been quite fierce when saying this. Well, it''s because I''m a rag to Cheon Yooseong. Finally, Alice pouted her lips. Don''t say anything to me. The supply of mana was not smooth because I was away from you. If it wasn''t for mana, the noble Jinjo would have gone wild. Is there any way these guys could be opponents? Don''t be sarcastic. It''s real! Who said what? Did I just say I knew it? " " Alice stared at Jinhyuk as if to eat it. However, Jinhyuk lightly passed his gaze and walked forward. ''About forty... .'' Judging by his clothes and appearance, he must have come from a guild of demons. They belonged to a fairly strong axis in Moorim as the elites of the magic religion... It was probably the demon lord Yeomho who led them, maybe? It was when Jinhyuk was looking for memories of the past. Your place is not here. Even if you don''t rush the command, I''ll take care of it soon, so don''t disturb me now and get out of the way. Yeomho opened his mouth. I know. He must be waiting for Mo Yong-su. To be precise, he''ll be timing the use of ''Secure of the Force'' through Liao Yu or Namgungcheon. you. Ah. Don''t make a surprised expression. To be honest, it was so obvious that our sweet potato knew it too, right? Suddenly, the sweet potato that came out of the subspace inventory tilted her head. mosquito? Heh heh. It means you know this. It''s because the languages of the ancient species are so similar. Even the same ''mosquito'' can have tens of thousands of different meanings depending on the accent and chuimsae. Only the owner can understand it. I admit that I''m quick-witted. Thanks to that, the plan went a bit erratic, but now that it''s like this, I''ll have you deal with this side instead of Mo Yong-su. I want to play with you too, but I''m a little tight to meet the opening time of ''Seolleung''. At Jinhyeok''s words, Yeomho''s eyes changed to the size of a bell. This time, his mouth widened as if he was really surprised. Seo, how do you know about Seolleung? I had no choice but to do so. Located on the 25th floor, this labyrinth requires at least 40 days to attack normally. Only if you have the right raid and supplies. But there are always shortcuts. Seolleung, where the corpses of kings are enshrined, could only be entered in a specific way at a specific time, but if you took this route, you could get out of the labyrinth in the shortest time. Yes. This is the only way players can clear the labyrinth. By the way. How... ! Even the magician''s intelligence department that dominates the 20th floor managed to find out... . A player who has never even climbed the 10th floor knows that. To say it was a coincidence, the exact mention of the name did not make sense. I should have told you? I don''t have time to chat and play. Jinhyuk''s voice calmed down. Even if it wasn''t, I had no intention of dragging them for a long time with those who wounded my colleagues and drew in their swords. So, I''m going to use the most efficient method here. as soon as. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo [Subspace inventory is open!] [The spirit beasts of the five elements are manifested!] Like this. fire! water! Bah... heck! As Undine was trying to take a position, Jin-hyuk hit him in the back of the head. Do it while looking at the situation. Is it time to do that now? In any case, it is said that the ignorant things do not know the time and place, so they are punished. Undine gave him an unfair look, asking why he was sleeping, but Jinhyuk ignored those eyes with a single knife. How can the spirit beasts guarding the royal tombs obey humans... Yeah, it can''t be. I can''t believe it... I can''t. A great commotion arose among the demons. No matter how much a Moorim was in Moorim, he knew about the spirit beasts. A beast with very high self-esteem and treating humans like bugs. They were the spirits. How much less, aren''t the intermediate spirit beasts of the five elements seen now the signs of this labyrinth? It was the same with Yeomho who was embarrassed by this situation. The spirits of this place... I''ve never heard of the Treasured Swords being submissive to humans. What excellent grade did you get this time again! A voice that was close to rebellion broke out. However, this time too, Jinhyeok did not give an honest answer. I just lightly tap the spirit beasts'' heads. I''ll take care of the guy with the loudest voice over there, so you all sort out the rest. It won''t be too difficult because the sweet potato will support you. Oh, I see! I''ll try my best! go for it! The spirit beasts desperately nodded their heads in order not to get scolded. like that. The real battle began. It was the flame of the Salamander that signaled the start. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A huge red flame crossed the air. It was so powerful that if it were swept away, everything would turn to ashes. However, the demons are also the elite of the magic class. It was a bit embarrassing, but it didn''t break easily. I wanted to capture the flames using the sword wind. Soon, the power was greatly reduced. ''Oh.'' I thought it was only good for close combat. How much defense had you set up against magic attacks? However . Oh, and there''s something I forgot to say... Jinhyuk shrugged. At the same time. fault! taat! Two shadows protruding from the passage penetrated into the guild. What, what are these again! Yeomho was the flagship when a new enemy appeared. If the intruders were just like that, I wouldn''t have been so surprised. However, the new enemy was more like a poisonous wasp, not a fly. Boo woo woo! kwaaang! Gagging! Watch out! These guys are insanely fast! Damn it! A nimble movement that comes from a small body. At the same time, the Hellbirds he held in both hands were ignorant. Above all, it was not pushed at all compared to the Sword Qi because the spear blade was covered with a unique color of flesh. I barely caught up. I almost missed the party. Really. Because you''re too fast. Casey and Jude Law grunted. However, the fact that there are still many enemies to play with left a smile in full bloom. Because my brother told me not to kill people recklessly. Let''s just cut off the arms and legs. Would that be enough? Yes. Because life is precious. Armed with absurd logic, the two swung Hellbirds. And. Jinhyuk, who was a little behind, raised his eyebrows towards the spirits who were gathered together. What are you staring blankly at? Huh? No. If you go out, you have to pay for the meal. Even if you are five and you are pushed back by the two of you... ''Fake Spirits Season 1'' hosted by our sweet potato instructor today. I know that enlistment is compulsory. Hey, what are fake spirits? The gnome in the form of a cute golem asked. Was it a great fear of unknown words? It was a bonus that my body was trembling. If you''re curious, just wait. When the number of downed ghost blood groups is even less. A very interesting thing will happen. This is no joke. It''s because I''ve been watching View Tube hard lately. Rumble! The 5th Spirit Beasts instinctively felt a sense of crisis. I didn''t know exactly what fake spirits were, but if I went there, there must be something unimaginable waiting for me. if so . You must move right now. At least one more enemy than those humans has to be dealt with to avoid falling into Hell. Go, let''s go! Yeah. Sweep it all away! Since the spirit beasts were born, they were most actively engaged in battle. great. Everyone seems to have started fighting to find a suitable mate, so now it''s time to host the major leagues. [The unique ability ''white beast'' is revealed!] It looks like he likes to use spears, so if that''s the case, we''ll deal with the same thing here. Jinhyuk picked up a spear beside the dead body. Pants... ! A pure white energy completely covered the entire window. My men are fighting to die, so should we start soon? Do you think this cheeky kid can beat me if it''s 1:1? Yeom-ho''s face was wrinkled badly. self-esteem is bound to suffer. In a magic school that thoroughly survives with skill. That''s because he applied for a diary to himself, who is in charge of a group. But what about it? No matter how much weight you hold, it looks ridiculous? Just don''t pretend to be too strong on the topic of middle-level executives in magic. Jinhyuk snapped his fingers. "If you want to fight me properly, bring the Wie." "More up?" You know, there''s a headmaster of magic. He''s stuck in the corner of the room saying he''s doing a closed training or something. But, wouldn''t you lose muscle if you eat Byukgokdan 365 days a year? I don''t eat protein or anything like that, and what kind of person are you training for? . or not. I''ve got a lot of middle school and find a Heavenly Demon that''s rolling somewhere else. There are a lot of Heavenly Demons these days, so they are cooks, BJs, blacksmiths, and even parenting. I don''t know what you are doing now. Do you want to be a football player this time? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa to shreds! He let out a scream as if the salt lake was torn apart. It seems that the medicine was eaten too heavily. CH 164 . Horn of Despair (1) Boo woo woo! The spear stretched forward with a terrifying breakout. It was true that he was angry, but that didn''t mean he made fun of the spear with emotion. speed and trajectory. It was a near-perfect cut-off that could take the opponent''s breath in one hit. But. Kaga! Jinhyuk took the blow too lightly. As if he knew how to attack, there were no frills in the natural movement like flowing water. It was only one battle, but with this one time, there were mixed joys and losses. Yeomho looked at his trembling palms. ''I You''re being pushed from the spear?'' It''s impossible. Wasn''t he a strong person with a spear skill that ranks among the five in magic? He couldn''t even remember how much blood and sweat he had shed until he got to the position of lord of the ghost blood. nevertheless. What do you mean by moore? This pressure... . pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart was beating fast. this tension. this air. never , never under his own. I didn''t think I could win even if I put my best effort into it. And. ''Damn it.'' I was so mad at the fact that I had to feel this kind of emotion for just a player. ''Calm down... .'' The opponent is a kid who has just entered the tower. You''re wearing nerfed shackles that will give you a critical hit with just a swipe! If you can''t deal with your opponent even after gaining such an advantage, it will be a shame that will go down in the history of magic. Whoops. Yeomho took his stance again. Holding the spear firmly with both hands, he measured the distance. This time, I promised myself that I would see the end. ''If you move first, you have no choice but to be defeated. You have to be patient and wait for the other person''s concentration to collapse.'' Obviously, he must be thinking the same thing. But right then. jerk. Jinhyuk approached with a defenseless figure. There were so many loopholes that, for a moment, I was confused as to whether this was the reality. You idiot! How dare you come into my gap! Yeom-ho did not miss the gap. [Gwihyeoldaeju Yeomho uses the ''single spear'' (߶)!] like a snake preying on its prey. Chang drew a strange trajectory. In half a beat, Jinhyuk also swung his spear. By the way. Puffy! It wasn''t the other side who heard the sound of flesh being ripped apart. uh ? The sound of wind leaking out of Yeomho''s mouth. His lips and pupils trembled violently. certainly It was that guy who approached me defenselessly. But, why did it have to be you who stumbled with a hole in your heart? right then Something flashed through my mind like lightning. what if If you have read all the timing and trajectory of the attack. Assuming that, it made sense to counterattack even at a slow speed of half a beat. But does that make sense? What does it mean that the person you meet for the first time reads all of their windows? '' The difference in skill wasn''t that much.'' It was only when he looked down at himself from a completely different, far-off height that he could explain why this happened. "A monster a water-like one." Yeom-ho''s body slowly moved backwards. The ship loses its captain and sinks. Because of this, the fate of the demon corps was determined at the point in time when the flames were lost. ''It''s roughly organized.'' Jinhyuk nodded his head. Casey and Jude Law smashed the enemy''s square, and the remaining 5 elemental spirit beasts started chasing them... . It''s a small finish and you''ll know how to tie it up. As the storm passed like that, we had more time to talk. When did you bring these guys again? I guess you didn''t sign a slavery contract after cheating that you liked the old people corporation or anything like that? Cheon Yoosung asked as if he was amazing. Uh-huh, slaves! These are the kids who came in with a labor contract. Although there are no four major insurances for working 100 hours a week, minimum wage and severance pay, etc., I plan to protect the most important life. In this day and age, there is nothing like it. ...it''s okay. Let''s not talk about it. I just feel sorry for those guys who were beaten by a guy like you. Still, I never imagined that I could tame intermediate spirit beasts. Now, should I say that Jinhyuk has gone to a completely different place? It seems difficult to raid together in the future. Theresa also added a word with a bitter face. Although she was also one of the rankers representing Europe. Every time I saw Jinhyuk, I couldn''t help but feel a huge wall. In fact, didn''t Jin-hyeok kill a strong enemy who was difficult even if they risked their lives to fight? ''also My prediction was correct.'' Than the prospects and rankers that everyone admires. Even more than the masters located at the apex of a large guild. Jinhyuk is much higher up. completely impossible to compare. ''In the future, my skills will not be enough to be together, but... .'' It doesn''t matter though. Just being acquainted with Jinhyuk. Just for Jinhyuk to climb the tower for mankind. Because it was incomparable to anything else. At that moment, Cheon Yoosung opened his mouth. By the way. What are you thinking? Huh? What? Don''t pretend you don''t know with an innocent look. Damn it. Don''t inflate your cheeks either. If you do that again, I''ll slap you in the neck. Cheon Yooseong grabbed the sword. If I really did just a little bit more, I would seriously wield that sword. It''s bloody. I can''t even joke about this. Okay. What are you curious about? "There must be a reason why you chose the 25th floor out of the many places you are doing." That''s right. I didn''t choose this place just because I was bored. However. I can''t tell you why right now. " " Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders, and Cheon Yoosung bit his lip as if he knew it would. Not once or twice like this. It was expected that Jinhyuk would know the plan alone. Okay. Don''t change the question. So, how long will it take to get out of this labyrinth, and where do I have to go from now on? That''s all I can tell you. It''ll be over in an hour or two. And you don''t have to go anywhere. Just stand still for a moment, and a new path will appear. what? Can you run through the labyrinth that fast? This time, both Cheon Yu-seong and Teresa opened their rabbit eyes. Ellisman, who was still silent, seemed to anticipate what Jinhyuk would do. After all, Jinjo is Jinjo. You must also know about the secrets of the labyrinth. timely. A faint light began to flicker in the runes written in the passage. It started. The time I''ve been waiting for since I entered the labyrinth. - There are several hidden routes in ''Valley of the Previous Kings'', a labyrinth located on the 25th floor. Among them, the tombs of the kings can be accessed using a special key at 11 PM every day, the time to honor the king. Jinhyuk took out ''fangs'' and lightly traced his palm. Red drops of blood quickly flowed down my cheeks. This is a special key. to the tombs of kings. Cuckoo. The sound of a bloodthirsty vampire licking was heard right next to him, but Jinhyuk tried hard to pretend he didn''t hear it. Soon after, he placed his hand on the place where ''?'' was engraved among the numerous runes. Then at that very moment. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A dazzling brilliance emanated from the text. [The road to the ''Royal Tomb'' is open!] Ornate gate decorated with gold. The only route that can attack the labyrinth is not a normal method, but an expedient method... appeared now ''great.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. It is finally time for the highlight of this labyrinth to unfold. As I entered the gate, my vision that had been darkened brightened. What appeared was a huge amount of gold beyond imagination. Oh my gosh... ...that''s awesome. Theresa and Cheon Yoosung opened their mouths wide. If the golden city of El Dorado existed, what would it look like? From large temples made of gold and golden statues up to 10 meters high. Even diamonds bigger than a fist and various jewels. I saw it in movies. No, there was no choice but to exclaim at the sight that was bigger than the movie. If I put these treasures in the subspace inventory and go out, I''ll be rich enough to be a chaebol. It''s not at that level. With this amount, you can buy a whole country. The amount of treasure in this place was out of standard, so that two people with relatively little bathing showed such a reaction. However. "I understand your feelings, but if you carelessly touch the treasure, you will regret it." as if to prove it. Additional status windows appeared. [The previous kings warn the robbers who broke into the tomb.] [There is only one treasure that can be possessed here.] [The ''curse of kings'' will fall on those who violate this rule and become greedy.] I believe everyone has seen Aladdin. If you touch anything other than the lamp, it will be fried chicken that goes into the oil. Of course, the curse of this world would be far more terrifying than simply being killed by magma. "I know what it means ." I have to choose carefully. The two nodded their heads. And I have something to do before the treasure. Follow me first. Getting the treasure is only an incidental reward. The most important thing is to solve the task to get out of here. Jinhyuk took the lead. How many minutes have you walked past the piles of gold and treasures? Finally, a building that was different from the others in terms of atmosphere appeared. east west south north. The long stairs on all four sides were built to face upward . "The altar it seems?" Yes. That''s an altar. And the most striking among them was the square-shaped table located at the top of the stairs and the ''black alarm bell'' placed on it. The bell made of black iron was also engraved with ancient runes. It was a completely different kind of rune than the one I saw in the passage. ''Double Rune... .'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. It was evaluated that it is the closest to the ''forgotten language'', and Jinhyeok in the past also tried to find a clue to the forgotten language through this language. ''This time, I switched to the barrier company and secured the moon engraving, so I''ll make sure to learn all languages.'' The fact that you can learn something new from a dead person who is already rotten is exciting in itself. Because of that, Jinhyuk already felt his fingers itchy. Is that the purpose? Yeah. You can only get out of this labyrinth if you have that in your hand. It''s kind of like a key to the outside. Then there would be no need to procrastinate. I''ll secure it right away. Cheon Yu-seong tried to run to the stairs at any moment. hang on. Why? Is there a trap there too? Do I have to tell you that? Still, despite the name of the grave, the most important treasure is not without traps. Even in the labyrinth, the most difficult and annoying things were spread like grains of sand on the stairs. It seems to be a trap that you don''t even know about, seeing that it dries quickly. No, I know how to avoid the trap. Only when the back of your head is itching can you focus on avoiding the trap? no way . Yes. We are not the only guests here. Aren''t you coming out soon? It''s no use trying to use a clumsy barrier in front of me. Jinhyuk tilted his head towards the golden pile on the right. CH 165 . Horn of Despair (2) ...I thought I had worked hard to erase my presence, how did you notice? A man''s voice was heard from behind the pile of gold. It was Liao Yu of the Chinese Guild who showed up. how did you notice I''m not even writing a letter in front of Confucius. In fact, I used a virtual barrier, so I can''t get over it even if I want to pretend I don''t know. I''m pretty good at barriers. Besides, if you want to hide the characteristic disgusting smell, take a shower at least once a day. Please. Jinhyuk shrugged. I expected that Moorim would know about this place too, but it would be better to scrape it gently like this here. In particular, the higher the self-esteem, the more likely this childish provocation would work. That snout...! I got tired of making clumsy threats. Rather than that, where did Namgungcheon go, and are you the only one here? Of course, I thought Namgungcheon would also be there, but the most important lead actor was nowhere to be seen. There is no need to come to Namgungcheon-nim to deal with you alone. He left here after obtaining only the Karma needed to select a faction. You only need to focus on me. Hmm, that''s how it happened Well, from his point of view, it would be better to skip the kernels and go back to Moorim than to fight in a place like this. Well. I think it''s worth a try if you come all the way to Namgungcheon? Yeah... just keep wiggling around. I''ll make the smile disappear from that face. Liaowi''s lips twisted slightly. At the same time. Pants... ! A long scroll popped out of Liaoyu''s subspace inventory. ''Is it a special item?'' The energy I feel is unusual... . The moment I thought so. [The relic ''Kwak-hee''s Jo Chundo (紺D)'' is activated!] A landscape painting unfolded in front of me. The natural scenery expressed in ink... . However, the deep sense of incongruity is probably due to the numerous characters who should not be in nature. Is it transfer through painting? ...It''s ridiculous. This is a relic that I received directly from Moorim, but you know this. Liaoyu clicked her tongue in shock. But that''s just the sound of pain. In fact, Liaoyu still had an overwhelming advantage in the ideal situation with such a hidden card. ''Indeed, it must have been quite a lot of preparation.'' The method of hiding the players of the Chinese guild in a picture and then calling them inside is not a common method. To intervene so deeply in the system, it must mean that Moorim was also overworked. To the extent that if it fails, the balance of the middle layer is completely destroyed. He must have crossed a very dangerous bridge in Moorim. It''s okay to just go out like that? Coins and relics aside. If this fact got into the ears of managers, it wouldn''t be a big deal, would it? Thanks for your concern. That won''t be a problem. If you kill all the Witnesses here, this won''t come to light. I was able to see the inside of the labyrinth thoroughly at the Masked Ballroom, but there was only one. I couldn''t get a glimpse of this tomb. This is because this is a special place under the influence of the boss monster on the 25th floor, so even the administrators could not exercise their authority recklessly. Of course, Jinhyuk also chose this place with that in mind. That advantage also applied to Liaoyu. There . [Liaoyu wants ''the protection of the forces''] [The giant power ''Wulim'' responds to Liaoyu''s response!] The sky opened, and a huge light fell. kukukuku! The elder brother of Mo Yong-se. Mo Yong-su appeared in the labyrinth. "This time, I will completely stop breathing." [The space transition from ''Kwak-hee''s Jo Chun-do (紺D)'' has been completed.] The Chinese Guild 5th raid has all been deployed. The 50 special forces under Yang So-pyeong of the 4th Raid have just arrived. The six executives were perfectly prepared as you said. 127 people in total. We raked in so many people that we couldn''t see it from the outside. It''s not a very large number, but it doesn''t matter. It was because they were equipped with special weapons for catching named monsters specialized in person-to-person combat rather than large boss monsters. All of these were customized cards prepared to capture Jinhyuk. Above all, the situation was completely tilted to one side by joining even Moorim''s Mo Yongsu, who has thick bones. ...the guild master and the guinea pig seem to be all dead. I told him to only get rid of those around Jinhyuk. It was as if I had lost my life on my own. ''It''s stupid... .'' But he is different. In terms of skills, it wasn''t that much different from the demon lord Yeomho, but there were treasures here that could supplement other than skills. It seems that you also know a lot about towers, but I''ll let you know that there is a mountain that can''t be crossed with shallow knowledge. Mo Yong-su stretched out his hand to the side. Here it is. Then, as if waiting, Liaoyu handed him a brightly lit medicine. [Mana''s nucleus.] In terms of Moorim, it is an elixir that has a similar effect to that of Shaolin''s Great Hwandan (߀). No, it may be much higher in terms of efficiency than that. Because mana''s core has the characteristic of being absorbed into the body immediately after absorption without the need for fortune-telling. Jinhyuk Kang! You mustn''t let me eat that! Mr. Jinhyuk! Cheon Yu-seong and Teresa also felt that the weakness was unusual, so they immediately drew their weapons. He instinctively realized that the situation would be much worse if he stood still. But. gulp! Mo Yong-su had already poured the drug into his mouth. It''s late... Oh ! A sigh escaped the two of them. However, it was only for a short time. Because what followed after the sigh was a life that stabbed to the bone. rapidly changing air. I''m short of breath. kukuku kuk kuk! A black mist began to rise around Mo Yong-su''s body. From the fact that the tangible flag can be unfolded so clearly. It also meant that there was no comparison with the ghost blood lord he had dealt with a while ago. Fuhahaha! Yes. That''s it! I can''t control the boiling power! Mo Yongsu burst out laughing like crazy. Of course, I can''t help but be happy that I gained an additional air force that reached 1st in one shot. Even if the effect of the Great Hwandan is only about 1 hour, it is now possible to show off such a powerful majesty that no human can stand up to it at this moment. Well . Jinhyuk scratched his chin. It''s nice to see you''re full of confidence after you''ve become the final weapon after much effort... . I''m sorry about this. At the same time, this one also found some pretty interesting items. Suddenly, in Jinhyuk''s hand, a crude horn trumpet made of buffalo horns was in his hand. It wasn''t just that Mo Yong-su swallowed the medicine and played while the atmosphere became chaotic. Appropriate for the drug No, maybe because we''ve secured an item that''s much more worthy of a dead person than a potion. Oh, that''s for sure! Mo Yong-su''s face contorted in astonishment when he saw the horn. Treasures in the tomb that can only be selected once per person. It was pretty good up to there. It was up to the individual to choose which of the tens of thousands of treasures in this place. But, at least... ! I''m going to pick something I should never touch. Jinhyuk''s wickedly smiling face looked too exquisite to be chosen without knowing it. It was definitely something I knew and chose. Yeah, how the hell do you know what it is? Did you roughly pick the most ominous looking one? Don''t talk bullshit! What nonsense reason do you believe in! Mo Yong-soo put a belt around his neck. If you don''t want to believe it, don''t. Jinhyuk shrugged as if he didn''t care. By the way. I have a strong desire to try hard on what I''ve already gained. Mmm, stop! If you blow it...! Mo Yong-su reached out his hand urgently, but it was already too late. It''s too late. Jinhyuk boasted of his lung capacity and blew his horn vigorously. Boo woo woo! A loud roar filled the room. [You used the ''horn of despair''!] [The first despair is coming!] If anyone knew what it was, he wouldn''t have even come near the horn. Because it literally evokes despair every time you call it. It''s so terrifying that every single one of them will drop everyone into hell. right then Koooooooh! Something huge roared. At the same time, the gold piled up like a mountain fell, and a black scorpion that reached 5 meters appeared. [The tomb''s guardian ''Black Scorpion'' awakens!] The strongest gatekeeper inhabiting ruins and labyrinths. It is a medium-sized monster with extreme poison that melts all the organs in its body just by touching it. The basic level was also close to three digits, and the steel-like outer shell was famous for being strong enough to withstand strong winds. In a word, it means a guardian that is terribly difficult to deal with. At the end of the day, the guardian of the grave is waking up. The worst has really happened because of you. Hey. Was this waking up the Guardians of the Grave? It''s the first time I''ve heard of it. Jinhyuk trembled as if he didn''t really know. Don''t talk like other people! Even without you knowing, all of your colleagues will be torn to shreds! Surely, you don''t know? Guardians are outside the rules. Thanks to Penheimer''s negotiation with the manager, if players die, they will be moved to the Masked Ballroom. If you die from a guardian, you cannot enjoy the benefits. However. Maybe. But, my theory is to be careful to only raise strong ones. Not a flower in a greenhouse, but a beast that survives in the jungle. Even with the same chick, the only ones that can remain in the Goin Corporation are chicks that can hit three to 500 or more. Kieek! The Black Scorpion swung its claws. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The golden statue was split in half in one blow. Blood, avoid! The players of the Chinese Guild screamed in contemplation. He struggled to live by frantically flying, but he could not escape from the Black Scorpion, which was optimized for hunting prey. The claws grabbed a player at once. Whoops! A red stinger from its tail lodged in its back. It was gully and venom was injected. Aww! It took less than 3 seconds for a person to turn into jelly. If caught, you die immediately. ! Mo Yongsu clicked his tongue briefly. No matter how much he boosted his inner strength through daggers, his opponent was the guardian of the labyrinth. It is a powerful enemy that cannot be easily thought of. Sah, save me! Damn. What are the tanks doing!? We have to take charge of the front so we can put in a deal. Are you going to kill them all! Are you crazy? How are you going to stop that? Although they were trained harshly in their own way, the players belonging to the Chinese Guild were different from the residents of Moorim. in individual abilities. Even in the determination to go to war. It was impossible to compare at all. In fact, whenever the Black Scorpion rages, aren''t the elites of the Chinese Guild being crushed like millet gangs? If it had been like this for a few minutes, it would have been eaten up. The worries didn''t last long. Don''t rush and spread out your formation! I''ll take care of him, so you only need to support! If it''s 1:1, you can somehow make a whistle. If I could build up damage to the microscopic gaps in the skin in those gaps... . There will be an opportunity to stop the gnome''s movement. ''It''s still worth trying.'' enough to overcome this difficulty. But I thought the worst would end here... . It was the biggest mistake Mo Yongsu made. Boo woo woo! Jinhyuk blew the trumpet again without hesitation. Ah... sorry. It''s blowing again. No. Don''t look at it. Really. This time it was a 100% mistake in purity. Jinhyuk put his hands together as if he was sorry. CH 166 . Horn of Despair (3) Mo Yong-se, who is in charge of one axis of the five generations. Mo Yong-su was also a talented person who stood out there. It means that they have undergone rigorous training to maintain their composure. But this time... . Even Mo Yong-su, who was so tough, had no choice but to spit out swear words. Ahhhhh! What a crazy man! kukukuku! This time, the ground began to shake violently from side to side. It was as if an earthquake had occurred. Treasures piled up like a mountain collapsed, and vines of unknown plants began to crawl through the cracked ground. Now, a scene worthy of the word despair is being produced. ''great. great.'' Jinhyuk nodded his head as if he was interested. If you blow it a couple more times, what''s going to pop out? Will even an ancient devil be summoned from hell? Remove the horn right now! I mean, please, stop it, you idiot! Mo Yong-su shouted that his throat would burst. sure. Damn! Jinhyuk Kang! Are you going to kill us all! Human! I''m short of mana right now! Hey! Go away! Where do you get plants for this noble body! Ji, Jinhyuk-san! Please stop...! The same team members screamed and ran around. This is a scene of total shock and horror. Yes. If the name is the Tower of Trials, then this kind of hell should be produced. Everyone seems to have forgotten about it as they climbed the tower so smoothly, but this is the true face of the true tower of ordeal. Kee-e-e-e! KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The Black Scorpion ran through the pile of gold once more. Anything caught in the claws was shredded. The moment it was stabbed in the tail, even if it was a tank with overlapping defense skills, it melted without question. Aww! Do, run away! It is a sight that can only be said to be absurd. Because the elite raid group was annihilated without ever making a proper move. Wow! Even Mo Yong-su barely managed to make an equal number with the Black Scorpion. So, the others will not be able to compete at all. There, now fully revealed cannibals started to hunt players one by one using vines. The second plague ''predator in the mud''. Plants that grabbed their ankles with vines at once threw the player high. Uh... huh? The body soared into the air. Resisting gravity and struggling with your whole body for a while. blah blah From the center of the plant, a mouth opened with countless teeth. Body fluids and unknown fluids stretched like a spider''s web. That''s it. kwaduk! kwaduduk! Thick blood gushed out. A man-eating plant that swallowed its prey at once moved mechanically to indulge in another prey. ''This is not the case.'' Mo Yong-su broke his molar and bit it. I don''t know until the second, but if the third despair awakens, it''s the end. ''Even the country can''t afford the third.'' A holy relic that can bring about a total of three despair, the ''horn of despair''. It was known that each one could destroy the country. From the third despair, the level changes completely. It means that even if you bring all the elites of Sega, the difficulty jumps to the point where you can''t handle it. However. Even at this moment, to see a guy fluttering his body like a flying squirrel, putting his horn in and out of his mouth... . He must have blown the horn again. ''There''s no way such a madman can''t stop here.'' Judging from the progress so far, that was a vain hope. if so. Mo Yong-su''s eyes narrowed. His gaze was directed to the top of the altar. To be precise, it was a black paper placed on the pedestal. ''Escape from this place by acquiring the Gyeongjong.'' Only 3 people can escape from the gate made through the alarm bell. In other words, if you don''t make it to the top three, you''ll have to bury your bones here. You and Liaowi . Only two people are needed. With this, an escape route was secured. However, Mo Yong-su''s thinking did not stop there. ''You can''t just come all the way here and do the battle.'' In fact, there was one secret hidden in that horn. [The horn of calamity has the power to cause three calamities. And if you survive for 5 minutes from the 3rd plague, luck will follow instead of the 4th disaster. Lucky enough to overcome all four disasters.] No one has tried it yet, but an Ancient Document found in a secret archive clearly stated such a phrase. ''If he brings the third plague, immediately take the horn.'' If you can get out of this place through the bell after obtaining the 4th luck in that way! Everything will be perfect. There were no loopholes in the plan. Because I was the only one here who knew this. Liaowi! Yes...? Yes! Follow me! fault! Mo Yong-su left his seat and ran out. ''It''s coming out like this.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. That''s a trap. If you make a fake move that you''re aiming for a warning bell, and then react in a panicky way... . ''He''ll try to take the horn from me right away.'' You can clearly see how the plate is being made, and it is not easy to hang it on purpose. Because this was an area that required acting skills in its own way. Jinhyuk made a slightly bewildered expression and then quickly brought the horn to his mouth. And the moment when Mo Yong-su stepped on the steps of the altar. Boo woo woo! The third horn sounded. It''s a start. Chi profit! Suddenly black smoke began to rise from the altar. [The third despair awakens!] Black scorpions and man-eating plants were also said to be despair. What appeared in front of me now was a completely different existence. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo About 1 m in diameter. The black sphere made a strange sound. On the surface, it''s just an ellipse, but that''s what people who don''t know about this guy can say. ''I''ll see you at last.'' The third despair, ''Intent Body''. It exists only to destroy the intruders, and it is an existence close to an idea. A cold sweat was also forming on Jinhyuk''s forehead. Even though the level is twice as high as it is now, I am faced with a monster that is difficult to deal with, so of course I feel nervous. sure. The current tension is a slightly different kind of tension than everyone knows. The upliftment that comes from the fact that you can risk your life to play with a strong enemy. And. It''s probably because of the expectation that I can get over that difficult enemy and give that stupid Moorim a shot. Uh-huh... Jinhyuk took a deep breath. At the same time, it awakened all senses in the body. It was then that the black Intent Body flinched. face! Elongated thorns protruded from the sphere at the same speed as recognition. Kaga! He managed to orbit using his fangs. The thorns that passed by the blade were lodged in the ground behind Jinhyuk. It is an attack with both speed and accuracy. But the real problem isn''t those two. sush... . Suddenly, the thorns embedded in the ground are restored to their original state. Bullets that don''t require reloading time? The process of attacking and recovering is absurdly fast. ???????????? Kwok! In less than a second, more than 7 attacks were poured. Continuity without even the usual readiness posture. So Jinhyuk had to swing his sword like crazy. Wheel. Jinhyuk blew a small whistle. If it hadn''t been for my reflexes and the experience I''ve had to seal it, I''d have just been attacked. By the way, Cheon Yu-seong and Theresa were behind . Is everyone okay? Yeah. How did you stop it? Me too. Cheon Yu-seong and Teresa''s voices could be heard from behind. Everyone seems to be unharmed. Not to mention Elise. However, not everyone survived the attack by the Intent Body. Kuruk... Uh... Black blood bubbles flowed from the mouths of the players who were pierced by thorns. trembling hands and feet. Aww! Aww! Red blood stood in the eyes of the players who were hit by the thorns. Unsightly protruding veins and swollen muscles created a grotesque scene. This is why the third despair is so scary. The ability to make an attacked target into one''s own subordinate. In addition, those who became subordinates also have the ability to infect, so it will have a huge ripple effect over time. Gigging geek... . His arms and legs were bizarrely twisted. like that. Immediately, the tragedy of fraternity began. The infected player bit the ally who was right next to him. No, I asked! This bastard bit me! Damn it. It''s me! It''s me! The situation has turned into a chaos in an instant. The heat was broken in an instant. Now, instead of fighting, I had to prioritize running away to live. In a situation that has turned into chaos. After breaking through numerous traps, Mo Yong-su finally obtained the alarm bell placed on the altar. In an almost simultaneous moment, Jinhyuk caught up with Mo Yongsu. It''s already late! Mo Yong-soo stretched the bell in front of him. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo [Gate is activated!] [Up to 3 people can go out of the tomb, and the gate will disappear as soon as the last person passes through the gate.] [However, the player who opened the gate must be included in the 3 players.] It is true that it is late. One of the only three seats was assigned to Mo Yong-su. ''great.'' Mo Yong-su clenched his fists. Now all that''s left is... Just to get the horn. Now it''s almost over. one step forward Pants... . A dazzling brilliance emanated from the sword of Mo Yong-su. Sword River (). It is the trademark of the best masters who boast the strongest cutting power. It would be better not to think that you can win 1:1 against me. In my current state, I can also face the Black Scorpion alone. Hey. While making puff pastry with a single drug, you say it as if it''s your own skill. I''m genuinely curious, do you not mind saying that? what? "Why are you pretending to be so angry? It''s true. You have to do well in your original skills to be on the same level as the Ghost Blood Lord. Are you trying to say that I... am a coward? You''re talking about dirty, naive and petty people. The more Jinhyuk spoke, the more Mo Yongsu''s face turned to earthen. It''s much better than the shiver who lost his life while insisting on being fair in the match... It''s true, but it''s funny because it comes out of the mouth of a noble faction. Isn''t it? " " This time, he turned into a completely honeyed dumbass. But it was only for a short time. He realized that he had to talk any more to only harm himself. fault! Mo Yong-su, who narrowed the distance in an instant, swung his sword. It was a fierce and sharp blow, as if he had taken the ''mana''s core'' and dramatically increased his air resistance. Kaang! However, Jinhyuk missed the attack by a single sheet of paper. Even though I was attacked by Intent Body, I can''t get enough of this. The timing is good, but it doesn''t taste sharp at all. It doesn''t matter. It wasn''t your neck that I was aiming for in the first place. Mo Yong-soo''s smile grew even deeper. Suddenly, in Mo Yong-su''s hand, Jin-hyuk''s horn was held. This was the one I was aiming for from the beginning. Mo Yong-su threw down the horn he was holding. Liaowi! Yes! Blow the horn right now! Oh, I see! Liaoyu without delay brought the horn to her mouth. Boo woo woo! The trumpet sounded louder than ever. [The 4th ''luck'' is here!] This is our victory! Mo Yong-su called for joy as if he was sure. And. Thank you. For blowing the last trumpet. Jinhyuk smiled a little. As if it had been waiting only for this time. CH 167 . 3 Great Despair (1) Thank you, what does that mean? Mo Yong-su asked as if he did not understand. Well, it will be difficult to understand. It was he who was able to achieve such great fortune that it overturned all despair. It was him who was able to get out of the gate. Even though everything went as planned, this place is not losing its composure, so of course it''s a bit disappointing. Jinhyuk shrugged. Now that the work in the labyrinth is almost finished, I will explain the last thing kindly. Of course, not the long version, but the short version. Give me a hint, think about the theme of this labyrinth. "The labyrinth the theme ?" It seems that Mo Yong-soo doesn''t understand. Jinhyuk pondered over his words. Then, suddenly, I realized something. Guardians of the Valley of the Old Kings. Various traps punishing robbers... . Yes. This labyrinth is to protect the rest of the noble kings from all that. no way! The fourth horn doesn''t bring luck. Rather, it is closer to thoroughly punishing the tough invaders who survived the third despair. I don''t know if I heard a story about this place from the torture I was buried in. That''s all wrong information. There''s no gold here for robbers. At the end of those words... . The air changed rapidly. [The 4th Luck (Despair), Retribution for Cause and Effect ()] Those who disturbed the rest of this place. The price will be washed away with the blood of their place. The fourth is that all despair until now is forcibly moved to the hometown of the one who blows the horn. That is the final punishment for those who break into this tomb. I''ve only seen it in literature, so I don''t know. There are a lot of documents in the Tower of Trials that have been secretly fabricated. Especially if it''s a labyrinth for the purpose of protection. How did you... know such a thing? how do you know I know it because I''ve experienced it firsthand. In the past, it didn''t matter much because all the players were folded. In addition, the 3rd Great Despair is recalled back to its original location after a week, so there was no major problem in playing after that. sure. All of that is from past games. [Gate has been activated.] [Outbreak has occurred in Beijing, China.] [The 3 Great Disasters Appear!] [A ''mark'' is engraved on the players in the Chinese Guild.] [The target left with a ''mark'' becomes the target of the 3 major disasters, and if more than 50% of the players belonging to the Chinese Guild die, the entire China becomes the target.] A red status window appeared one after another. Hey, this is... Liaoyu opened her eyes. Monsters who didn''t even dare to fight appear in the Chinese Guild. In other words, it was a natural disaster. It was the same with Mo Yong-soo, which was embarrassing. I thought I knew everything about the horn of despair through literature. What does this mean? The discrepancy between the previously known information and reality made it complicated as if it would explode in my head. Looking at what is written on it, I think I picked it up, but there are quite a few things wrong with the information in the Tower of Trials. Mangem among mangems. Therefore, there were often cases of hitting the back of the head among the information in the Tower of Trials. just like right now. No, do you mean that the literature in the library of Moorimmaeng is even a lie? You dared to know what kind of remarks were uttered with those tongues! Mo Yong-soo put a belt around his neck. hey It''s almost like freshly caught live fish. If I said Mo Yong-se was the weakest among the five generations, would he collapse from high blood pressure? It''s not for me to argue about how excellent the information power of the Moorimmang is. What''s more urgent now is how to prevent the three major despair? Right now, the players of the Chinese Guild marked with the mark will be the target. If more than 50% of the entire guild died, the target was to be extended to ordinary citizens. Now, it''s not just about the image of the guild or anything else. It means fighting over the fate of China as a whole. But. ...don''t talk bullshit. How are you going to protect China against such bastards? Mo Yong-su drew a line as if it was not even worth thinking about. also. I expected it, but this is the answer. Just as a lizard cut off its unnecessary tail, I didn''t feel any trouble. Are you thinking the same? Jinhyuk''s eyes turned to Liaoyu. It didn''t happen in Moorim, Mo Yongsu, so even if I don''t know, it doesn''t matter. Liaoyu''s home has turned into a wasteland. To protect the guild, you have to go inside. After thinking for a while, Liaoyu slowly opened her mouth. The fact that it was marked... means that if I also pass through the gate, I will become a target, right? Yeah. You will look delicious to them too. Then I won''t go either. Are you going to abandon your comrades? So easily? You may not understand... No, you would understand. Only strong and useful people can climb the tower. I also learned the same thing from Namgungcheon. The story of being able to destroy anything for survival. After all, they took it for granted that they even raid the villages of elves living in peace for profit. In fact, it may be realistic to behave this way. This is because the leaders of the Chinese guild, including Namgungcheon, were already in the process of being absorbed as a part of Moorim, not China. There is a world that is wider and has endless possibilities, but you don''t want to risk losing everything to protect the gutter-like reality. I know. I understand The way you spit it out casually... . It felt so disgusting. "After all, I think it will be difficult to be friends with you forever." Garbage is also classified as a class, but this is the level of food waste. No, at this point, I think we should listen to the position of food waste. "Don''t act like a hypocrite. Aren''t you and us the same as you who stand by anyway?" Liaoyu''s lips twisted slightly. I''m not like you. At least I don''t abandon my people. Jinhyuk quietly shook his head. Seeing that calm look, this time, Mo Yong-su asked. Are you sure you don''t intend to enter the gate? You don''t even need to know that puppies that have grown their tails, do you guys? Now, whether or not someone else dies, I''ll just focus on the fight for supremacy in the middle class. So please, just turn it off. Even if not, the gate made by Kyungjong doesn''t last very long. Don''t worry, I won''t hit you in the back of the head or something that''s already tight and can run away like cockroaches. Is it vain heroism? It''s fun. Mo Yong-soo finally smiled. Then he turned around without hesitation. We''re going back to Moorim as it is. It was unplanned to abandon the Chinese guild already, but it''s impossible to do anything like this. Guild''s main force must have already been removed, right? Yeah. As you said, before coming here, I sent them all to the ''Museum''. But, are you going to leave them like that? I can''t do anything with them anyway. He admits that he misunderstood the effect of the horn. However, there was nothing wrong with the strength of those three major despairs. Having fought directly against it, Mo Yong-su was sure of it. That, no matter how much your opponent is a central figure among the players, it can never change the outcome. ''I don''t know what the plan is to help China, but thanks to that, I was able to get rid of one big problem without my hands.'' That''s enough. There was no longer any need for long conversations, no reason to discuss each other''s intentions. After a while, everyone who goes through the gate will turn into a cold corpse. So Mo Yongsu and Liaoyu disappeared from the tomb. [Gate duration: 0h:1m:13s] The status window blinked faster. Seeing the gates shake, there is really not much time left. Are you really going to fight them? There must be more harm than good? Elise, who suddenly approached me, gave me a word. It was a fight that seemed reckless to anyone, so of course I couldn''t understand it. sure. It is not a grand reason to help poor civilians. Neither is the reason to save the Chinese Guild. ''It must have been well recorded.'' Jinhyuk glanced at the recording function of ''Broadcasting System''. Originally, it was impossible to turn on the broadcast or record during the Masked Ball, but thanks to Moorim''s forcible intervention in the system, there was a gap. Should it be some sort of bug? Because of this, the fools ran wild and dug their graves diligently. Now, if these conversations are made public, how will everyone in the world view the Chinese Guild? . There is no need to explain in detail. Moreover, the advantage of doing this is not simply that you can fuck off Zhonghua and Moorim. If I could hunt down the three major despairs, I could monopolize the enormous experience and items they gave me. ''This is a way to catch the rabbit of recognition and level up at the same time. Oh, and the factions that value causes will also be very happy, so Karma will all be focused on me.'' If the stage is this well equipped, you can''t go without covering it. Jinhyuk touched his palms. Now is the time to select the people who will enter the gate. The Chinese side took one seat, so there are two left. Of course, one of them is mine. There is only one seat left. Jinhyuk''s eyes twinkled. Looking forward to candidates like Flame Infusion. It was quite natural, but no one came forward. Ttttttttttttttt. He clicked his tongue as if to wish for what Cheon Yoosung wanted. Heh heh heh. Elise whistled and snorted. " " Even Teresa was hesitating. No, I don''t know about the others, but as a human being, shouldn''t we voluntarily give a saint? Still, the name is the European hero who blocked the Amsterdam Outbreak? Wait, I see... . no way. Jinhyuk, feeling a deep sense of discomfort, stopped. ''strange.'' Originally, Teresa was a person who showed the end of altruism. no matter how difficult the situation And even if the target was an enemy they had just fought with. Her sympathy had to be the same. But are you silent at this time? Doesn''t this make sense? Doubt has turned to certainty, but there is only one way to get accurate evidence. [Lv9 ''Eye of Gluttony'' sees through the target!] Jinhyuk quickly drew mana to his eyes. Then that moment. All doubts were resolved at once. ''Oh.'' Jinhyuk let out a small exclamation. This is going to be fun An unexpected and quite interesting variable emerged. CH 168 . Third Despair (2) Through ''Eyes of Gluttony'', Teresa''s information was revealed without filtration. Name: Teresa de Laurencia Gender: Female Age: 22 Level: 37 Strength 50 Dexterity 45 Stamina 30 mana 40 Holy Power 55 Owned Stat Points: 0 Coins held: 165,850 Occupation: Paladin Unique Ability: Blessing of the Stars skill : Lv8 ''Sacred Enhancement'' Lv8 ''Song of Battle'' Lv7 ''Blessed Touch'' Lv5 ''Holy Lake'' Lv5 ''Illusion Barrier'' ''Corruption'' A passive skill added to the existing status window. ''Corruption'' When a paladin with high holy power like Teresa fights a strong fortune, it is often affected by their tendencies. The skill seemed to have blossomed anew due to the battle with the three major despair. ''Wow. no matter how it is This is really hard to see... .'' Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva. I''ve met many holy paladins and priests in the past, but there was only one resident with that skill. Desperate monsters with an altruistic personality and hard to see even in the Tower. This is because it was very difficult to satisfy these two conditions at the same time. ''I mean, I really choose one person to be amazing.'' One more card that can be used with this has been added. Mr. Teresa. Yes? Congratulations. Well, what should be celebrated? Teresa opened her rabbit eyes as if anxious. In normal cases, Jinhyuk noticed that congratulations are only words that he says when he is happy, not the other party. Sheesh. That''s why I don''t like the quick-witted kid. After working together for a long time on their own, is it possible to instinctively read patterns now? But what do you do? Just because you noticed it doesn''t mean the outcome will change. Jinhyuk smiled brightly and spread his arms wide. Specially, you and I won a one-day overseas trip as a passenger! ...can''t you refuse? I''ve already bought all my plane tickets. What''s the penalty for a refund? I don''t think you can afford it. " " Theresa bowed her head with a sad expression on her face. On the other hand. Hey! I? I''m stronger, so why don''t you take me? Alice raised her eyes and raised her voice. Until a little while ago, he tried to avoid being chosen, and when he chose someone else, he was completely nauseous. Anyway, with a tangled personality. It is not okay for a noble person to go to a shabby place. I will solve it on my own terms. What was the intention of this? Ummm. That''s true, but... I can''t believe that you had such a bizarre idea? Originally, the weaker the temper, the more suspicious... what? In an instant, a cold aura surged. to live sharply Jinhyuk hurriedly waved his hand. Ah, no. I just want to go with Theresa-san this time. It''s easy to deal with them if you have divine-type abilities. If that''s the reason... I can''t. Alice still muttered with a dissatisfied look on her face, but she was no longer stubborn. You and Cheon Yu-seong are waiting here for a while. The managers will know that Moorim intervened in the system, so sooner or later they will open the way to the ballroom. Okay. I''ll be patiently waiting. Alice nodded her head slightly. great. Now that the situation has been sorted out, let''s get going. It was when Jinhyuk was about to go to the gate with Teresa. Kang Jinhyuk. Cheon Yoosung opened his mouth. What followed was quite unexpected. Come back safely. Hey. Do you think it''s worth living for a long time? Does the Swordsman of Heaven take care of me? It means not to die by anyone other than me. shit. I was almost touched by that, but that word is cancelled. You should expect something from a fighter maniac who only knows how to fight to the marrow. still . ''It''s not a bad feeling.'' Unlike the life of wandering around the tower alone and lonely, this time, there was someone who was worried and waiting for me. ''It''s also a sacrifice for a copycat and colleagues who will come in handy depending on the situation.'' I hope to continue working together in the future. Until the day when Goin-Mul Corporation is incorporated into the Dow over the KOSPI. - At least he''s thinking something evil again. It might just be the way for humanity to just get rid of it now. - From the look on his face, he''s a real vampire. When you are sleeping, you have to make a sudden change. -I''m going to go alone with Jinhyuk... . each with a different opinion. A dazzling light emanated from the gate. The headquarters of the Chinese Guild in Beijing, China. This place was now in a state of disrepair due to the oncoming massive mana storm. Hey, this is such an absurd thing... Oh my God. Everyone looked at the approaching dark clouds with blank faces. Even though we are still far away... The pressure that weighed down on his whole body was as if he was facing Taesan. It''s over. Come now and run away wherever you go. The rest of the people gathered their strength to counterattack. The result will not change. Whoa... A woman in a black suit with straight hair tied in a ponytail. Xiao-ting, who is in charge of the bodyguard at headquarters, calmed down his trembling breathing. She was effectively the only ranker player here. I know it''s the worst, but I think we all know what''s going to happen if we let Outbreak go. A representative large-scale outbreak that occurred in Amsterdam in Europe, New York in the United States, and Rio in Brazil. The outcome was clearly etched in everyone''s mind. hell. Yes. It was a living hell. without any hope. Ha, but, are you saying that we have to defend this place on our own without other rankers? That''s right. You should contact me right now and ask for help. It''s impossible for us. At least Namgungcheon should come... The white players took a step back. Raw meat is in a state of trouble even if all the rankers flock to it. Are you just going to fight with this member? What''s the difference between being used as a meat shield and dying while ordinary citizens run away? Most of them joined the guild for money and honor rather than a sense of duty, so they didn''t even have the thought of throwing their lives away for others. But that was the time. kukuku kuk kuk! [The ''Three Great Despair'' is manifesting!] Lightning began to rain through the thick dark clouds. After a while, it appeared with a thunderstorm... . despair. It was itself. Kie-ee! The Black Scorpion roared wildly. I just spit out a voice. nevertheless. All the windows of the building were shattered. The physical force was forced simply by the wavelength of mana. Rumble! The players of the Chinese Guild who tried to escape froze on the spot. Shaoting was the same as the body stiffened. ''no way It must have been like this.'' The mana I felt at first was just a fragment. The monster, fully revealed, did not even dare to gauge the floor. kuung! kuung! kuung! The Black Scorpion moved after the marks engraved on the players of the Chinese Guild. A distance that is narrowing at a fast pace. 1km, 700m 300m! Now even the building in front of it has been smashed. Aww! Ahhhhhh! Save people! Please anyone...! The citizens screamed madly and began to run away. However, it was not so easy to escape from the clogged city center. Roads split and power poles smashed like toothpicks. The casualties have also increased uncontrollably. You must fight! Shaoting suppressed his fear and claimed the lead. Damn it! Damn it! Let''s attack it together! The players of the Chinese guild reflexively flew away. It was because he knew best that he could not escape from that speed even if he ran away. Kaga! Kagak! Various weapons pounded on the Black Scorpion''s skin. Since he had been trained hard in his own way, the timing of running out of the building was also good. The timing of stabbing the Black Scorpion''s square was also perfect. sure. Putting Sword Qi on the cutlery did not cause fatal wounds, but only enhanced the character of the Black Scorpion. Kieek! A dark red tail pierced the man''s body. [The Black Scorpion uses the unique ability ''Neurotoxic''!] Honey! It''s big... huh? As the venom was injected, thick blood gushed out from the man''s eyes and nose. It is an attack that lightly tramples armor and defense skills. one at a time. Each time the tail moves, one player loses his or her life. ! Shaoting quickly flew away. Thinking that he had to do something on his own, he moved even faster. A dazzling light flashed across the pair of daggers held in both hands. At least two levels higher than the Sword Qi of the previous players was a higher level of Sword Qi. ''You have to aim for a place with a relatively weak outer skin.'' [Xiaoting activates Lv8 ''Gyeongshin Alert (p)''!] Shaoting moved forward and backward and left and right of the Black Scorpion. fault! fault! fast. The movement that leaves an afterimage like blinking could only spit out exclamations no matter who saw it. Kieek! Due to its speed, the Black Scorpion''s claws stretched across the air. Did you offend your nerves to flirt in front of your eyes on the subject of flies? The Black Scorpion suddenly stomped heavily. kuung! A thick layer of dust rose along the ground. vision was obscured At the same time, the claws and poison stingers on the tail aimed at Xiao-ting from three directions. Of course, even that was a move that was under Shaoting''s calculations. ''now!'' Xiao-ting did everything in his power to turn him in the air. Then, with the dagger held in both hands, he aimed at the exposed ship. I''m sure the Sword Qi will work here. But. About there is no point? An earthquake struck Shaoting''s pupil. Kak! does not pierce No, he didn''t even get a single wound. As if any attacks were useless. So while Xiao-ting is frustrated with reality. The Black Scorpion''s claws grabbed Xiao-ting''s body in an instant. aaah! As he applied force to his claws, Xiao-ting screamed as his throat exploded. I tried my best to get out, but to no avail. If a little more force was applied, it was a set procedure for the body to be divided. Stop it! shit! The teammates tried to save Xiao-ting, but as soon as they entered the range of the Black Scorpion, a thick blood blast erupted. More than ten players were swept away with one blow. Now there are no colleagues left by my side. The players who are regarded as the best in China were nothing more than mere creatures in front of that monster. in the fading consciousness. Shaoting thought for the last time. ''It''s all over... uh.'' Namgungcheon and the rankers abandoned the Chinese guild. The remaining guild players will be torn apart. The corpses of countless people will make up a mountain. with a crying little child. I could see the parents collapsed with their children in their arms. However, there is no way to save them. Because it was impossible to stand in front of a natural disaster with human power. '' .'' Shaoting gave up on everything and closed his eyes. But at that very moment. [[Glacier modeling] ''Sword of the Sky'' is activated!] A stream of ice falling from the sky. [[Glacier modeling] The ''Sword of the Earth'' is activated!] A stream of ice rising from the ground came into contact with one another. the air... changed The cold wind gently brushed Xiao Ting''s hair. What is it? This feeling... . His consciousness was in danger of being cut off. pounding! pounding! pounding! For some reason, my heart was beating faster than ever. CH 169 . Third Despair (3) It was none other than Jinhyuk who appeared in front of Xiao-ting. "Kang Jinhyuk." Shaoting''s voice trembled softly. How could you not know? The person who is currently receiving the most attention in China, or in the world. However, it wasn''t just that Jinhyuk was such a great player that Xiaoting was so surprised. ''In a situation where even the leaders of the Chinese Guild have run away... Help us?'' It is incomprehensible. What was the meaning of accepting that they would save themselves as enemies of a foreign country with no interest at all? why . Doubt bit his tail, but in fact, it was good for some reason. What''s important right now is... . It was only because someone had appeared to save them in this desperate situation. "It''s Jinhyuk Kang." It''s real. It''s real! How did the Korean ranker get here? "Can we can we live?" The people watching also swallowed dry saliva. When China''s elite were helplessly torn apart, they had no choice but to give up their lives. Because the players who were always proudly winning and winning on TV, who were nothing more than a signboard of China, died without even being able to properly resist. So, they were sure that they too would face the same fate. By the way. right then A strange thing happened. Fortunately, it''s not too late. Teresa let out a small sigh. The light that came down through ''Blessing of the Stars'' wrapped around the bodies of the wounded. Slowly, little by little, the wound began to heal. The flesh healed and the bones found their place. After the emergency was over, Teresa glanced at the Black Scorpion. The two swords were used to lock the movement for a while, but it was not fatal. Because he was struggling to get out of the ice pillar right now. ''Dangerous .'' Judging by the speed at which the ice fragments were breaking, it didn''t seem like there was much time left. A few minutes at most. After that, the first despair will start running rampant again. Furthermore. Teresa''s gaze turned to the dark clouds this time. The Black Scorpion wasn''t the only one coming over in the thunderstorm. kukukuku! A crack in the sky was caused by the distortion of space. Truly an overwhelming mana. I couldn''t even imagine what would happen if even the third despair appeared. It seems that the power of the tomb... was suppressed. If we had completely liberated the power, there would have been a risk that the entire tomb would collapse. However. There will be no need for that now. Because for them, this was a realm of punishment, not protection. Seeing Jinhyeok speaking calmly, Teresa carefully opened her mouth. His voice trembled softly. Aren''t you afraid, Jinhyuk? Always victorious, but the road continued with a single line. This means that just one mistake and negligence can cost your life. nevertheless. how the hell How can you not lose your leisure like that? Instead of answering, Jinhyuk smiled brightly. ''I''m worried.'' Even monkeys could fall from trees. No matter how strong a prospect was, there was no way to avoid making mistakes. But. If you are a real person... . A player who has seen the top of a tower that no one has ever climbed. You never make a single mistake. Please take care of the people behind you. Teresa will be able to prevent you from taking collateral damage from the battle. After speaking, Jinhyuk took out two swords from the subspace inventory. [The unique ability ''Sword Graveyard'' is activated!] Black flames rose from the fangs he held in his left hand. [The unique ability ''Mandala'' blooms.] A golden cloud of clouds fluttered from the twin dragon swords he held in his right hand. At the same time. Kie-ee! The Black Scorpion that had been imprisoned in the ice was released. The black skin and bright red eyes between them stood out particularly. Seeing that his life was glistening, it seemed that he had received a strong fever. kwaang! The Black Scorpion, who quickly narrowed the distance unsuitable for its size, aimed at Jinhyuk with its tail. An attack that many players have not been able to respond to so far. The poison sting, which moved lightly as if ignoring the mass, penetrated into the square. Careful! Dangerous! Teresa and Shaoting shouted involuntarily. But. There is something everyone is misunderstanding. It is an undeniable fact that despair is strong. That is undoubtedly true, though. only. How to have a stomach on top. kwaduk! puck! A pair of swords moved too lightly. No, the move was just an assumption that was put off as a result. Jinhyuk''s hand seemed to shake slightly, and then black blood spewed from the outer skins of both sides of the Black Scorpion. Kie... There are no screams of pain, no writhing in anger at what has been done. The Black Scorpion''s body staggered violently. That''s it. The Black Scorpion smashed the windows and fell into the building. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Collapsing fragments completely engulfed the Black Scorpion''s body. [The first despair disappears.] There was silence for a few seconds at the unbelievable sight. Everyone watching froze. Hey, you knocked it down in one hit? Shaoting was so startled that he stuttered and almost bit his tongue. He knew his opponent was strong. But maybe it will be like this. How high is your level? What special abilities do you have? I couldn''t even imagine. It was the same with Teresa, who was embarrassed. I thought I knew Jinhyuk better than anyone out there, but This . Isn''t that too unrealistic? ''The more you look, the more amazing you are.'' I suddenly remembered the first time I met Jinhyuk. The memory of that time when I asked you to always believe in yourself no matter what happened. ''I''ve been worrying about meaningless things again.'' A soft smile appeared on Teresa''s lips. At the same time, I could be sure once again. A player you can trust and follow no matter how desperate you are. A colleague who perseveres in any situation. that you are the person in front of you right now. [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [You have acquired the title ''The Challenger of Despair''.] [Those who challenge despair] Acquisition Difficulty: Unmeasurable Description: All stats increase by 10% when dealing with the 3 Great Despair. However, the effect of this title disappears when you defeat all three major despair. A whopping 4 levels. Considering that the level is in their 50s, it is a lump of experience at a level that has no sense of reality. ''It''s really fun.'' Jinhyuk nodded his head as if satisfied. It is true that various restrictions were lifted as despair emerged, but there was also a price to follow. ''As much as I got stronger, my weaknesses were also created.'' equivalent exchange. It is impossible to simply gain benefits from the Tower of Trials. It means that if you get one, you have to pay a price for it. In this case, a fatal vital point was created. Located 2.7 cm to the left of the heart and 3.3 cm below where the lungs are located. These are the two weak points of the Black Scorpion. However, it had to be effective when attacked with the correct force and angle to a place where there was no error, so it was not easy to succeed just because you knew it. only one. ''Except for me.'' right then A number of status windows appeared in front of Jinhyuk. [Many factions are very excited.] [The great power ''Empire'' pays tribute to your heroism.] [Karma rises by 10,000 points.] [The spirit world will give you 3,000 Karma points.] [The likeability rises to a very high value.] Yes. That''s it. In addition to leveling up, the intention to cross the dangerous bridge by crossing over to China was also for the purpose of attracting the attention of the powers. After all, the most important point in the ''Faction Selection Battle'' was to collect a lot of Karma. And for those who value justification, the existence of a ''hero'' was a temptation that was hard to give up. ''Sometimes I give a title, sometimes I don''t, but this time, luck follows.'' Although the second despair may be, the third ''black sphere'' was quite difficult to deal with, Its speed and destructive power. If you look at it funny, you will have wind holes all over your body. However, the existence of titles made it possible to design battles more advantageously. Now there is only one more thing to do. Jinhyuk''s gaze glanced at Teresa. In order to achieve the purpose of bringing Teresa here instead of Elise or Cheonyuseong... . There was still one more work to be done. ''The board should be properly crafted... .'' But that moment that Jinhyuk was worried about. Aww! kwaaang! Green vines popped out of the ground with a roar. Cars hit by the vines soared high into the sky. A second despair appeared. '' It''s a quick temper.'' Jinhyuk quickly blew himself up and spread the distance. A huge hole was drilled in the place where I set my foot. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Green waves rushing in like a storm and humans gently escaping between them. In that way, a tug-of-war that was almost impossible to catch continued. As time passed, it was the giant cannibals that grew more anxious. Keeeeeeek! A mouth with hundreds of teeth appeared between the crumbling ground. [The second despair ''Yantaman'' activates ''Vibration Detection''!] That''s what makes this guy so tricky. The ability to detect the slight vibration of the ground and determine its location, as well as send a shock wave to the location of the target, could only be said to be perfect. ''Is this the game I''ve seen from now on?'' Jinhyuk''s movements became even faster. As the vines increase in speed and accuracy, their teasing patterns must anomalously change accordingly. bang! bang! bang! bang! The pointed tip of the vine pierced the ground like a bullet. Jinhyuk moved between the streetlights, gradually luring the opponent outward. Whoops! The flames the size of a fingernail made with the ''Element of Fire'' burned faintly on the street lamp. a little bit. Just a little more... . At the point where the building meets the building, Jinhyuk took a big leap forward using the ''Sword Demon King Bo''. It jumped over 15m in an instant. right then A black sphere appeared in front of Jinhyuk''s nose. Finally, we have reached the third realm of despair. Pants! The surface of the sphere shook. The spear of swiftness without any preparation action was about to stretch out at any moment. Kie-ee! Behind the scenes, the body of the plant, which had been pursued repeatedly, appeared. Mud and cement shards fell to the ground. Its huge body, approaching 100m, boasted a tremendous sense of intimidation in itself. front and back. Now there''s nowhere to run CH 170 . Ancient Species (1) A completely sealed escape route. It''s over... Damn it. It''s all wrong. Now it''s all wrong! A sad cry escaped from the mouths of those who were watching. He diddged the attack with his possessive movements, but that was the end of it. If you aim at both the front and the back at the same time, no matter how raw meat you are, even a ranker will not survive. as if to prove it. A black sphere and a man-eating plant aimed at Jinhyeok at the same time. The thorns beyond recognition rushed towards Jinhyuk''s heart. Dozens of vines also fell to crush Jinhyuk''s whole body. right then The Hidden card that Jinhyuk had prepared while running away was activated. [Lv9 ''Element of Fire'' is activated!] [The unique ability ''Star Blessing'' is activated!] When the energy of the stars permeated the flames left on the street lamp, a huge flame broke out. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Aww! As if dozens of tons of gunpowder exploded, the surrounding area turned into a sea of fire in an instant. A cloud of smoke obscured my vision was an inevitable result. In addition, the ''vibration detection'' could be confused due to the star''s Blessing, so as a surprise, the conditions were perfectly met. ''now !'' Aiming for that gap, Jinhyuk moved. ''The reason despair doesn''t attack each other is because they recognize unique biosignals.'' This is the reason why they do not harm each other even though they possess overwhelming power. However. ''In other words, if you only find out where the biosignals are sent, you can use their system against them.'' Jinhyuk flew towards the plant accurately even in the smoke. Thanks to the ''Blessing of the Stars'' that interfered with the vibration detection, I was able to dig inside without any hindrance. Kie eh? A soft inner skin could be seen among the swaying vines. At first glance, it is a green inner skin that looks the same. However, the corners of Jinhyuk''s lips were raised. ''After all, I hid it in the 7th peak again this time.'' The point is not to simply look at everything, but to find a place where the flow of mana is subtly different. And due to the habit of the second despair, its position was always the innermost. Perhaps you instinctively want to hide a fatal weakness. what would this mean Jinhyuk quickly tore off a part of the epidermis. OK. Keeek! Suddenly the plant started to glow. Because the part that controls the biosignals was destroyed, he suddenly fell into a panic. Dozens of vines randomly destroyed anything in front of them. Aww! The building that was hit directly was halved with one blow. Looking at it again, it is powerful enough to say that it is ignorant. But, what I was really looking for . A sphere that responds to its indiscriminate attacks. The moment when a vine swung at random hits the surface of the sphere. dreaming The surface of the sphere is distorted. [The third despair ''Abyss Sphere'' uses the unique ability ''Thorn of Erosion''!] An indescribable mana arose from the sphere. Pooh-! A clear penetrating sound struck the eardrum first. Soon after, green fluid gushed out of the plant''s body, which had air holes all over its body. In an instant, dozens of thorns protruding from the sphere mutilated the whole body of the plant. Key... this... this... The fact that it is large has been transformed into a disadvantage for this moment. The bigger the target, the easier it was to hit. kuung! A huge plant collapsed on the spot. [The second despair has been extinguished.] ''Two with this... .'' Jinhyuk nodded his head slightly as if satisfied. It''s called Lee Jae-yi (). It is best to subdue despair with the same despair. Of course, handling the sphere from the plant side was the most ideal picture, but considering the level difference between the two, that is greed. ''By the way, the level doesn''t go up.'' Indirect intervention was often recognized as experience, but it was an exception for desperate monsters. Unless you are directly involved, you can''t get experience or items. ''It''s definitely a pity that I can''t eat it all.'' However, if only the last sphere can be dealt with, you will be able to get the best of the rewards you have received so far. [If you deal with all three plagues, you can obtain the highest-ranked reward related to the target''s unique ability.] Because the category of the adjective ''related'' was so vague, it was difficult to guess exactly what kind of reward it was. What is certain is that the reward is commensurate with the near-impossible task. In the past, I was given an overrank grade fusion material, but this time I was already looking forward to what it would give. But that was then. Ugh!? Jinhyuk reflexively swung his fangs. kwaaang! The black thorns collided head-on with the blade. He barely succeeded in opening the orbit, but he frowned at the heavy feeling that reached to the ends of his bones. damn it Does that guy know exactly where this place is even in this kind of smoke? To see it as a coincidence, it was perfectly aimed at the vital point. I knew it had the ability to sense a line above the vibrations... . I can''t believe it can''t be deceived even with the Blessing of the stars. How the hell do you mean to have a sense organ? That guy. Jinhyuk quickly regained his stance. comes again It was also aiming at this direction so accurately that it gave me goosebumps. kwaang! kwaaang! Red flames rose from the smoke with a roar. A window of speed beyond cognition. A dagger that responds only with experience and reflexes. There was a battle that was difficult to even follow with the naked eye. Each one was a bloody desperate effort, but the victory was seldom achieved. OK. The attack stopped like a lie. At the same time, a hard voice emanated from the sphere. [ ] You''re an annoying human being.] Now, beyond the smoke that had completely cleared, the surface of the sphere could be seen distorted. Finally, that wood-and-stone slaughter weapon is opening its mouth. but. At this point, I''m just going to get annoyed. It was impossible for a normal player to even catch his first attack. It seems that I''m not the type of person who gets pretty wherever I go. Usually, I get sick and fall ill. I used to give up talking because I couldn''t win. [Do you want this side to get excited while provoking with words? Not a bad way. The one who takes the initiative will be able to design the situation to their advantage.] A mechanical voice followed. Anyway... . A blunt guy like this isn''t fun to provoke. If there is even a stinging taste, I have to poke it a few more times. So. I kept my mouth shut, and if I continued like this, I would only run parallel lines. I''ll give up on your side and go back to my humble grave... Does this mean? [No way. There seems to be no end and no limit when dealing with annoying flying flies like you, so from now on, I''m talking about dealing with them properly.] That was then. The shape of the sphere began to change. Ripples on the smooth surface. It was gnarled and the shape was refined. After a while, when the rippling waves stopped. A round sphere had changed into a human form. [The third despair ''Nameless'' manifests.] A black body whose whole body is dyed with a single color. He didn''t have eyes, nose and mouth, but his shape was unmistakably that of a person. Hmm. It''s been a while since I''ve done this. Let Nameless warm up and reach out. Whoops! Black thorns about 1.5 m long protruded from the palm of the hand. Where... Shall we start lightly with a single spear? Nameless took a stance as if he was throwing a javelin. In an instant, the air froze. ...! The reason he took the human form while giving up the merits of firing was not to warm up his body as he said. it is gathering power. Because I knew that a small attack was useless. A bigger room... . To be precise, to prepare for an overwhelming shot that could not deflect the orbit. When he thought about it that far, Jinhyuk''s body reacted first. Whoops! The fangs were nailed to the ground. [[''Mandala''] Partial modification.] Pants... ! A golden-colored barrier appeared. [[Section 1] ''Disruption of thought'' is activated!] When a three-layer barrier was added through ''Imprint of the Moon'', white runes appeared on the barrier. A solid-looking shield stood in the way between Jinhyuk and Nameless. Hey. You didn''t use mana on purpose, but you sensed a crisis. This is just a good sense of humor. Nameless exclaimed as if he had truly admired it. And it''s okay to do it almost at the same time. Black thorns twisted like a pretzel were thrown. Paaang! The sonic boom was created by breaking the speed of sound. What followed was a blow that could be called the strongest spear. Jinhyuk did his best to raise mana. The light on the runes grew even deeper. That moment. Aww! The thorns collided with the mandala-embodied shield. Big! Jinhyuk bit his molars. I almost lost my mind at the shock beyond my imagination, but somehow I did not let go of the string of consciousness. kukukuku! A shield that almost broke in half. The first barrier was broken when it collided, and the second barrier was also penetrated. However, the thorn with rotational power still did not lose its power. The barriers were peeled off layer by layer, and the thorns reached Jinhyuk''s face. Now 10 cm. Exactly that much distance was left before the thorn smashed the skull. ''Like this... .'' Dangerous. However, it was already too late to avoid. The thorn that completely broke the barrier hit Jinhyuk''s face. Whoops! Jinhyuk''s head tilted back. Big... billions... with the sound of the wind falling. The body slowly moved backwards. "Mr. Jinhyuk ?" Teresa stuttered. My lips trembled at the sight of such an absurd sight. No, are you kidding me? Come on, wake up... Come on. Come on! I checked to see if I had seen anything wrong, but the thorn had pierced Jinhyuk''s head accurately. With that wound, no one would survive. Don''t worry too much. I''ll send you guys to his side soon too. Nameless pulled out another thorn. "You''re going to kill us too ?" Yes. You too have disturbed the rest of the grave. I will kill you and all humans everywhere you belong. Only for that reason Are you saying you''re doing this with something that just disturbed your sleep? Don''t judge the seriousness of a sin by your frugal standards. From our point of view, it is a mortal sin that cannot be washed away with blood. Hahaha . sadness and emptiness. And beyond all that, the anger that had been suppressed for a long time trembled. As if filled with emotions, Teresa''s heart fluttered violently. At the same time. Juruk. A tear ran down Teresa''s eyes. Strangely, the tears were faintly black. A gentle wave arose on the surface of the Nameless. ...Is the divine power changing? It''s a fun ability. A rare phenomenon that can be called an anomaly. However. If you get rid of that power before it fully blooms, that''s it. Nameless still held the spear in an unchanging voice. Just kill Teresa and wipe out the marked Chinese Guild and other humans. By the way. The surprise wasn''t the only one. Creepy! Nameless''s body stopped in place. His gaze was directed to the spot where Jinhyuk had fallen. There''s something there. Something that makes even him tremble in fear, who maintains the order and balance of the middle class. right then [Subspace inventory is forcibly opened.] Something sensed the owner''s death and reacted. kukuku kuk kuk! The subspace inventory, which was about 20m wide, was unrealistic. This . For the first time, a change appeared in Nameless''s voice. I had no choice but to do so. now. What''s coming out of there... . Because he was an existence that could not be restrained by the tower''s floor kuung! Footsteps that feel the weight of Mount Taesan. If there is an end of mana, this is what I am talking about. Koooooooh! A sharp roar cracked the clouds and stirred the atmosphere. It was a real despair and disaster. CH 171 . Ancient Species (2) The Spirit Beasts and Mythical beasts in the Tower of Trials exist in this world only as clones, not as real ones. It means that only a part of the body is subordinated to another dimension and lives in the tower. And there is a medium that allows them to exist in the tower. That is the mana provided by the contractor. Spirits and Mythical beasts who have completed a normal contract refuse to manifest themselves in the tower if the energy source is cut off... . There is one exception in this case as well. If the relationship with the owner is deep and you want the real world while consuming your mana. In this case, he was able to manifest in the tower even while rejecting the restrictions. Just like right now. [Ancient species ''???'' is present!] No more rhetoric needed. kukuku kuk kuk kuk! The state of being overloaded with causality just by being there. It is not the small, flirty reptiles with black scales that have appeared here. Even with an open gate close to 20m, only the head and part of the upper body could barely get out. No matter how small the body is, it will reach hundreds of meters. chwaruruk! The head of the half-protruded sweet potato stopped standing due to the golden chains that bound her whole body. Koooooooh! Yellow eyes like pumpkins turned to Nameless. "Oh, how is the ancient species " Nameless froze in place. If it was simply an ancient species, I wouldn''t have been so surprised. The reason he is puzzled now is that the ancient servant was angry at the death of the contractor and consumed his mana. The ancient species was promised an eternal life, so making a contract with a human was nothing but a game. If a human dies, I will always abandon it and find a new owner. Still, behaving like this... . ''Is it because he trusted that much?'' There was no other way to explain it. If I ran wild here, wouldn''t it be an act of consuming your life? Nameless slowly opened her mouth. In fact, this was the only threat he could make. But. It seems like that doesn''t matter. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A dazzling light gathered from the sweet potato''s mouth. The strongest skill possessed only by Dragon. Breath. And beyond that, the ''Original Sacred Spear'' of the ancient species appeared. [Ancient servant ??? summons the ''Sword of Condemnation''.] Whoops! The fire burned more fiercely. All moisture in the air began to evaporate. The haze spreading along the ground seemed to foretell what would happen here after a while. Wow! Dangerous. Nameless, judging that, took out a black shield. The shield wrapped in thorns was not unusual at first glance. The effect of absolute judgment to protect the royal tombs was given, so of course it was. And at that very moment. shoot ah... . A gust of wind blew through the buildings. While Jinhyeok was running out of time, all the civilians were evacuated. There were only two people left, Teresa and Shaoting. It means that it doesn''t matter if you run wild without hesitation. Pants! The flames gathered at one point blazed even more fiercely. The red fireball soon turned blue. It soon turned into dark red black salt. However, it does not end here. White. A pure white horror that turns everything back to nothing. This is one of the strongest fires in existence. Damn it. Life''s a good thing, isn''t it? Nameless exclaimed. can not understand. What the heck is a human being? What the hell is a human being who is already dead! But right then. Nameless, who was looking in the direction of the body, opened rapidly. A red mouth appeared on the black surface. ''I, that is... no way?'' definitely saw it Even when everyone''s eyes are on this side. The fact that there are humans waking up leisurely under the starlight. Come on, wait! Nameless hurriedly pointed her finger to where Jinhyuk was. Wait! Are you saying that you can''t see a human flapping around like a freshly caught flounder from the farm, eating popcorn? But, it''s already too late. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Because the flames compressed to the limit crossed the ground. Aww! Before Nameless could even react, a white flame engulfed Nameless''s whole body. Rebar and concrete all evaporated. The ground left scars like a beast scratching. Big... ugh. The black shield has long since disappeared. Nameless, who had only the upper body left, let out a heavy voice. jerk. Someone approached with the sound of footsteps. I thought there was no pain, but after taking a human form, I guess you can feel pain? It was Jinhyuk. Like saying when did you get hit. His face was completely intact. "Is this, I mean you did it on purpose?" That''s it. Jinhyuk shrugged. No matter how strong the three major despairs are, will they be beaten by those located in the middle of the tower? It was a little annoying, but if we fought properly, we could build a match without any variables. But if so. There would have been no opportunity for Teresa to wake up. One of the basic conditions of ''fall'' is to witness the death of a loved one. Still, you''re pretty strong. There aren''t many people who can keep their shape even after being hit by the unique spear of the ancient species. Heartily. Both offensive and defensive powers are to the point of sticking out their tongues. It must be said that there is no one among the players who can beat this guy in a head-to-head match. Well, that''s comforting... Nameless looked down at the swept half body. The crumbled particles were scattered into powder. Seeing that it cannot be reproduced, it seems that sweet potatoes are definitely strong. My... is this, so futile... Nameless opened her red mouth wide and struggled. Of course, that didn''t change his fate. [The third despair has disappeared.] Even the last despair turned to nothing. Because the experience of the target killed by the pet is also eaten by the owner. Unlike the second despair, this time you will be able to get a huge amount of experience. I knew it. Immediately, a number of status windows appeared one after another in front of Jinhyuk. [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [You have achieved an amazing achievement!] [The job of hunting all three major despair will be inducted into the ''Hall of Fame'' tomorrow.] A whopping 8 levels! After hunting the Black Scorpion a little while ago, it went up to level 4. This one raid raises 12 levels. Of course, among the players, there was no one who could compare. It was possible to hold a fairly high level among the residents. However, what I was most looking forward to was not leveling up. It was just the reward for getting rid of the damn despair. pounding! pounding! pounding! Jinhyuk''s heart was beating rapidly. Since you have suffered this much, of course, you should be rewarded enough to bring your eyes back. what it really is Now is the time to check it out. That''s when I thought so. T-tiring! [In return for defeating the third despair ''Nameless'', a reward is given for the player''s unique ability.] [''Copy Free Pass'' was given.] [Copy Free Pass Ticket] Difficulty to obtain: Unknown (There is no precedent for obtaining this item yet, meaning you will be the first to use this item.) Description: You will be able to copy one of the unique abilities and skills of all beings you''ve met in the Tower so far. However, it is limited only if you have directly observed the skill of the target. There are no such absurd and demanding conditions for copying. If you just look at it at least once, the condition is satisfied. A dry saliva ran down Jinhyuk''s neck. This . Amazing, Great. In the past, from when I played Tower of Trials until now when it became a reality. I was sure that I had come across a lot of giyeon. Among them, I have never experienced such an overwhelming reward as now. [The faction selection match has ended.] [All players in the labyrinth will be forced to move to the Masked Ballroom.] The illegal intervention of Moorim and the Chinese Guild was revealed, and the selection of forces was over. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo I wondered if there were bright lights flickering here and there. The players appeared one by one in the ballroom. Ugh... Sah, I lived. I''ll never do it again. Damn it. It''s like I ate 10 years at once. Everyone looks tired. At most, all I had to do was climb the 10th floor of the tower, but I had no choice but to go to the labyrinth on the 25th floor. No matter how guaranteed survival from monsters and traps in the labyrinth, the pressure felt by everyone was beyond imagination. On the other hand. ''It''s been a while since I''ve had a rewarding day.'' Jinhyuk stretched out. Having organized the Chinese guild in one shot and obtained the spirit beasts of the 5 elements, the true winner of this force selection battle is decided. In particular, the level and various rewards raised after defeating the three major despair in China were astonishing even thinking about it. as if to prove it. T-tiring! [Karma update is coming.] [Curma Karma Ranking] 1st place: Jinhyuk Kang (7,565,100P) 2nd place: Liaoyu (4,450P) 3rd place: Namgungcheon (3,190P) 4th place: Teresa (2,250P) 5th place: Yuseong Cheon (2,130P) 6th place: Yoshio (1,125P) . A whopping 7.5 million points. Not only did I see through all the hidden powers of the horn that incites despair, but I also proved the ability to use it to create a whole board . It was only natural that Karma pierced the ceiling. Above all, the scene of saving China from the three major despairs that wiped out the entire Chinese guild was enough to make the hearts of the residents of the worn-out tower beat. ''I''m already trying to see my ass shaking.'' Jinhyuk raised his head. Do I have to say that excited manas can feel the road running rampant on their skin? It was clear that the forces waiting on the second floor were anxious. It''s crazy that the managers are blocking it. If there was no one in the way, he must have jumped down to the first floor to kidnap him. at that time. Well? Something caught Jinhyuk''s senses. This time it''s on the first floor, not on the second floor. In the same place where his eyes turned, there was a player who was also full of wounds. A ranker who is the master of the Samurai Guild and is said to be the best sword in Japan. It was Yoshio. ''Oh right. I haven''t copied this guy''s abilities yet.'' They moved so quickly that there was no time to catch their breath. I already got the free pass, but isn''t that the full range of abilities? It would be absurd to waste an opportunity to acquire ranker skill. Jinhyuk recalled Yoshio''s copying conditions once again. 1. Use someone other than yourself to subdue Yoshio. However, the term "other" here refers to a player. 2. If you fail, you can do it yourself, but in that case you cannot use the weapon you have. Instead, you must use one of your forks, chopsticks, spoons or pencils to subdue your opponent. I don''t have time to fight directly because the pick-up will start after a while. Above all else, there is no justification for making an argument all of a sudden. Let''s see... . How can I handle the copy condition in the easiest and most perfect way? Oh! I just remembered something good. A plan that can be called devilish. CH 172 . Reception of the Night (1) Jinhyuk, who had been organizing his plans for a while, approached Yoshio. The point is to wave your hand lightly, as if greeting a local friend you haven''t seen in a long time. It''s a bonus to smile broadly as if it doesn''t hurt. What. What? However, Yoshio''s reaction was not very good. As if the sun had risen, eyes filled with vigilantism fell on Jinhyuk. Well, is this a natural reaction? Don''t be so harsh. Our first impressions weren''t very good, but there''s no need to be like that in the future, right? Jinhyuk shrugged. At the same time, the middle and thumb lightly bumped into each other. damn it! OK. [Subspace inventory is open.] Beyond the shimmering space, something familiar appeared. The pure white sword is impressive... It was one of the three types of sacred swords, the ''Cheongchongunsword''. Ugh! The sound of taking a deep breath. When he saw the relics lost in the Samurai Guild again, Yoshio''s pupils shook rapidly. I can''t help but be confused Because I was in a state of light in Japan trying to find this right now. Hey, how do you do this...? To Yoshio''s question, Jinhyuk calmly responded. Liaoyu had it. You might have thought of it as an ally, but he was actually the one who stole the Japanese relics. No, that''s not possible. We have an alliance with China. Are you saying that you should believe in making up such a thing? If it''s an alliance, are you talking about putting on a smiling mask on the outside, then sticking knives in each other''s back whenever the numbers are wrong? Why are the players doing this to each other? Did you know that historically there are no alliances that last forever? Zhonghua and the samurai also ostensibly promised to climb the tower together, but depending on each other''s interests, they could become enemies overnight. Are you really sure? Are they reliable companions you can turn to on the battlefield? that''s . Yoshio blurted out his words. It''s because he wondered if he could put the word trustworthy in front of them. Jinhyuk, who read his confused emotions, quickly added a word. And I''m not asking for anything grandiose. I''m just here to ask you to accept this sword. " Thank you. On behalf of the Samurai Guild, I would like to express my gratitude to you." Yoshio nodded reluctantly. They said they would return the relics at no cost, wouldn''t it be impossible to just refuse them anymore? It was still unavoidable that he still felt uncomfortable, but Yoshio quickly brushed off his thoughts. great. this is done Jinhyuk approached Cheon Yoosung this time. Thanks to the chaos so far, the scene where the two are having a conversation did not attract much attention. "What kind of pun are you trying to play this time?" Cheon Yoosung clicked his tongue at once. Why does this guy get annoyed just by seeing his face? Isn''t it time to feel bad for you? People are trying to give you the best you can, but what are your eyes, your eyes? Are you giving me something good? Yeah. I said I''d get you a weapon at the tailor. Not cheap, but a good sword suitable for swordsmanship. I came to keep that promise. At Jinhyuk''s words, Cheon Yoosung raised his eyes as if in surprise. " are you really going to give me the sword?" Cancer! It''s a promise I made with the swordsman of the world, not anyone else, but of course I have to keep it. I can''t believe you at all seeing you rant... Trust me for the last time this time. There is a saying that blessings come to those who believe. Whoa. So. Where''s that sword? caught The fish, which was rough and had a bad personality, bit the bait. It is important from here. As much as possible, Jinhyuk created an expression that was a mixture of guilt and regret. If there was a Hollywood director, it was such a perfect empathy that he would cast him on the street right away. That''s right. I really wanted to give it to you, but I just lost it. Whoops! The sound of molar grinding resounded very loudly. I felt like I was really angry with the tendons protruding from my forehead. You guys again... No, no, wait. Uh-huh. I''m not pulling a sword here. I''m not cutting with it. Don''t even try to stab me. I''m really dying. I''m dying? Jinhyuk hurriedly bowed his head. No kidding, he really did top slash. If it were any other person, my neck would have said goodbye to my body and rolled around on the ground. I''m not doing this to raise drugs. Did you get a really good sword? But it was stolen before I came here. Who are you talking to? I, there... Jinhyuk''s fingertips pointed to a man. It was a man with a bright smile holding a sword, which was unusual at first glance. I said I would give you a present. That friend said that this sword is not suitable for a kid who can''t handle a sword. These words are enough. I could see a ferocious life blooming in Cheon Yu-seong''s eyes. Wait. The story isn''t over yet. Well, if you want, I will become a mangbu-seok and wait forever. Be sure to work hard and get the sword back! Oh, and that sword. It''s a gift from me, so why not ask for it again later? Jinhyuk cheered hard for the figure from behind. [The condition has been met.] [The skill you chose is ''Foot Sword (΄)''.] [The copied skill is saved in ''Memory of the World''.] Naturally, Yoshio, who was exhausted and exhausted, was not able to compete with Cheon Yu-seong. More than anything else, how can you stop him from swinging his sword? Thanks to this, I was able to successfully blow my nose without touching it. Seeing Yoshio being taken to the emergency room in the annex by the managers, Jinhyuk put his hands together slightly. I believe that this is enough to convey the feeling of regret. If it doesn''t work out, I''ll have to buy you a drink later. ''great. great. very good.'' Jinhyuk nodded his head as if satisfied. After all, being a colleague is a precious law. Because I was able to use it as much as I wanted when I needed it. Then where... . Shall we summarize the long-awaited rewards? The bonus stats and abilities accumulated through leveling up were piled up and there were a lot of things to be done. Jinhyuk activated the personal status window. T-tiring! Name: Kang Jin-hyuk Gender: Male Age: 27 Level: 67 Strength 25 Dexterity 25 Stamina 34 mana 110 Gap 100 Luck 10 Adaptive 78 Elemental 17.53 Stat Points you have: 36 Coins held: 421,350 Occupation: Rune Interpreter Unique abilities: ''Fusion'', ''Sword Grave'', ''Star Blessing'', ''Anubis'' Judgment'', ''Blood Magic'', ''Mandala'', ''1 second ''Invincible'', ''Thousand Poison (ǧ)'', ''White Beast'', ''Shared with All Things'' skill: Lv9 ''Element of Fire'', Lv9 ''Eye of Gluttony'', Lv6 ''Communion'', Lv7 ''Stigma of Souls'', Lv6 ''Reading'', Lv6 ''Shallow Breath'', Lv11 ''Glacier Formation'', Lv8 '' Daylight'', Lv5 ''Giant''s Grasp'', Lv7 ''Chuhon Sword (׷ꄦ)'', Lv1 ''Double Agent'', Lv5 ''Jintae Cheonghwarang Heart Method'', Lv6 ''Sword Demon King Treasure''ħ'', Lv1 ''A hazy body odor'', Lv4 ''Mental barrier'', Lv3 ''Heaven''s melody'', Lv3 ''Diner of another world'', Lv3 ''Red Devils'', Lv2 ''Heavenly Desire'' )'', Lv1 ''Soul Vampire'', Lv1 ''Demon Sword (ħꄦ)'', Lv1 ''Foot Sword (΄)'' barrier: The number of barriers learned is too large to ''fold'' state has been switched to. When it comes to the happy number of 36 stats, Jinhyuk was troubled for a while. I have carefully organized my thoughts on where and how much to invest to create the most efficient synergy. ''When fighting a nameless guy... It certainly lacked strength.'' The reaction speed was there, but I felt a lot of pressure to offset the attack. It was proof that he lacked strength compared to other stats. [Strength increases from 25 to 50.] He boldly invested 25 stats. At the same time, I felt the muscles all over my body change. Do I have to say that I lost control of my strength as if I was put on steroids? It''s not that my muscles have grown... Certainly, the density has become so hard that it cannot be compared with before. Jinhyuk lightly gripped the marble table. Whoops! It''s like playing with clay. My fingers dig into the marble. ''Such crazy... .'' He didn''t even use the giant''s grip, but his usual grip strength was almost at the level of a monster. It was a scene where the reward of raising the strength stat twice was revealed without filtration. ''There''s no way I''m going to run out of power for a while.'' Next is also mana. To use a variety of unique abilities and skills, mana was a stat that could not be emphasized enough. Jinhyuk invested all the rest of his stats in mana without hesitation. [mana rises from 110 to 121.] Uh-huh... As Jinhyuk closed his eyes, he felt mana all over his body. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The gentle circulating mana spread pleasantly throughout the body. Now there is one last one left. One of the most important things is words. Jinhyuk calmed his trembling heart. I''ve seen a lot of skills and unique abilities, but honestly I''m still not sure which one to choose. ''First, let''s leave the player out of the discussion.'' It had a chance to be copied at any time next time. After all, there are plenty of preys such as residents, managers, and boss monsters, but it was too good to use this opportunity for the player. ''The ability of the nameless is not bad either.'' I could be sure because I was the one who had personally fought. The ability he used is that he can freely change his karate and his balance is perfect. ''The Black Death of Pendariel who fought in the Zombie Plant was also an ability that I wanted to collect as much as possible.'' Sweet potato''s unique vocal spear and Alice''s unique ability were also on top candidates, but they were also excluded from discussion because of the commonality of all things (f鹲). The trouble deepened. Because there were so many contacts with strong guys, the decision wasn''t even easier. How many minutes have passed? Finally, Jinhyuk opened his mouth. I will copy Osiris'' unique ability. Even compared to the ancient species, the strongest creature that is not pushed at all. If it is the ability of the Absolute who governs the rules of the tower... . I could be sure that it was a choice that was worthy of the long-awaited performance. [Copied the unique ability ''Sanctuary of the Sun''.] [The copied ability is stored in ''Memory of the World''.] 42nd floor. [A unique ability that encompassed the entire white oasis.] I obtained the strongest wide-area machine that can reproduce the power of the sun. Ha ha ha ha ha! Jinhyeok burst out laughing as if he had lost his mind. People around me looked at me like crazy, but it didn''t matter. It felt like I had the whole world, but I was able to lightly laugh at other people''s eyes. About 5 hours later. Hasting, Rick, and the tower''s administrators have finished cleaning up the matter. Moorim and the Chinese Guild, who intervened in the system recklessly, were paid a reasonable price. Of course, the Chinese Guild was virtually destroyed, so the penalty was meaningless. Moorim has confiscated all the coins it has accumulated so far, so the damage will be difficult to recover no matter how much time passes. Only after such eventful events were completed, a grand reception was held at the ballroom. It is the end of the faction selection battle and the place where factions and players sign contracts. Finally. The end of the masquerade has begun. CH 173 . Reception of the Night (2) Outside the Tower of Trials. Thousands of people were waiting for the full story of the incident to be revealed, without sleep until the dawn of the day. yea that''s the way it is Reputable rankers from all over the world headed to the first floor, but the situation inside was completely shrouded in veil. There, in China, the Chinese Guild had disappeared by an unidentified monster. In a way, it was a natural result that everyone''s curiosity exploded. But right then. [New video updated in Hall of Fame.] The long-awaited video has been uploaded. And the video . It was a surprise in itself. [The video is played.] What turned the city into hell was a giant scorpion wrapped around its body in black. overwhelming majesty. The players of the Chinese Guild, which were said to be the strongest in China, were torn apart. Of course, the Chinese Guild also tried to somehow create a gap by taking advantage of their number, but it was all in vain. One person per room. It took less than a few minutes for dozens of players to turn into corpses. But right then. Someone appeared. The air has changed. The Black Scorpion, who was so strong, fell in a single blow. He couldn''t even identify with his eyes how he was attacking. - Shanks'' left arm!: It''s Kang Jin-hyuk! That person is Jinhyuk Kang! -Red Rabbit: Somehow. I thought some crazy guy was coming. -Chicken is murder to me: If it''s Kang Jin-hyuk, it''s possible. really crazy How can you fight like that? than now. Is it true that you caught that giant scorpion in one shot? Isn''t this some kind of editing shit? -zlrot7885: not editable. I can''t reveal my name either, but I''m making a living by editing videos for famous guilds, but there''s no sign of touching the video. It is 100% steamed. - Deadline Life: How the hell have you gotten stronger in the meantime lol. At this point, isn''t it at the level of a kangaroo mixed with Australian wallabies? -The geese are gireukgireuk: ?j. 3 to 5 ton kangaroos available. China. No, even the Chinese Guild, which prided itself on being the strongest in the world, had one player dealt with a monster that had been left unattended. The last scene using ''Blessing of the Stars'' and the part about sweet potatoes were edited, but this alone was enough to attract everyone''s attention. The highlight was an interview with Xiao-ting, who followed Jin-hyuk''s video on the bulletin board of honor less than an hour after it was uploaded. It was an interview obtained by a view tuber, whose main content is dealing with the daily lives of world famous rankers, by visiting China. HyungNims. Hello. I''m going to China right away on an early morning flight again... Really... Really! It''s hard to find someone who''s going to be a hot topic. Let''s watch it right away without needing to say much. Popular view tuber ''Lemontree'', who dyed his hair yellow, waved his hand towards the camera. As a view tuber with 3 million subscribers, the process was also neat. When the camera turned, a woman with long straight hair and a black suit was caught. "My name is Xiao Ting, who is the chief of staff at the Chinese Guild Headquarters." Hello. Shaoting player. I don''t have time, so I''ll just ask a few questions that HyungNims are most curious about. First. In the video, I didn''t see the main raid and Namgungcheon player, which are the mainstays of the Chinese Guild. Where the hell is everyone? did you go? "Me too I don''t know. No matter how hard I tried to contact the superior, I couldn''t." You mean they all ran away. The lemon tree touched the sensitive part, but Xiao Ting did not deny it. This is because, in fact, no one from China showed up until all the fights were over. "Our colleagues gave their lives to evacuate civilians, but it was not enough for us." No matter how hard I tried, I couldn''t inflict even the smallest of wounds on despair. However. "Thanks to player Jinhyuk Kang, we were able to evacuate the citizens safely." "Did you ever ask for something in return?" no. Shaoting shook her head slightly. He said he was genuinely wanting to save people. Humans need no reason to save humans. Jinhyuk left China with a word like that. - Noryangjin Owner: The fresh kimchi that I put in the refrigerator in my room is going to be magnificent. - Shanks'' left arm!: Wow. After all, this is a real ranker. It''s the player I''m subscribed to. really. -Red Rabbit: It should be pushed at the national level. Kang hyung. It seems that there is no publicity effect like this to promote Korea. -Return of the New Spirit: In fact, it already exists among the players. At most, Unknown or the woman who is on the rise in India this time should be worth a try. -He ate well: He said that it was thanks to Jinhyuk hyung that he added a condition for players not to die in the labyrinth. -Bee Gongdew: I think I will become a fan of your brother S2 ??. -The fire truck doesn''t stop NAVER: To be honest, I''m the same guy, but I think I''ll fall for it. -Merona when I came: I searched and found that Gongdu was a man and the fire truck was a woman. Comments praising Jinhyuk poured like crazy. The traffic soared to the point where the Viewtube server was paralyzed, so it hurts my mouth to say any more. And. I''m not that nice. Jinhyuk, who carefully read the comments, nodded. There are a lot of complaints about the guys around me saying they are the devil or Satan. ''After all, the only people who know my true worth is my subscribers.'' Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the old saying that if you live a good life, you will be blessed. Elise, who was next to him, looked at Jinhyuk with a surprised face. Are you good? You''re not really saying that? On the topic of the boss of a bad company. It''s as if you heard something you couldn''t hear. You say that there is no other place that cares more about the welfare of its employees than our company... What kind of welfare is the welfare of the poor while only pampering them? Goblin slaves subordinate to the Ataraxia family will receive more than that. " " shit. I have nothing to say. However, if I backed away from here, it would be an evil situation that will remain in the world. Jinhyuk quickly squeezed out the words to refute. Can''t you see that we are working hard every day for the growth of our employees? We''ll all live well together. How hard are you working? "That''s what you take as a side leg as you grow up and use it to eat." " " blocked this time. These damn mosquitoes stick together, so they know everything inside. That''s why whistleblowing is the scariest thing. if so . Is there any evidence that I actually did that? Instead of accusing people of harsh words, provide objective evidence. The principle of presumption of innocence. Evidence attention. There are good laws in the world. You sound like evidence. The judge will shed tears of blood just by collecting the testimonies of the children who signed slavery contracts with you. I didn''t know, but even said that they used sweet potatoes by cheating? mosquito! The sweet potato also wags its tail from side to side with its cheeks inflated. Maybe it means you''re angry. Even witnesses came out, so this was a situation that couldn''t be taken out or beaten. However, there is one fact that even Ellis has overlooked. That there is a way in the world to bribe witnesses. "Our sweet potato. Have you been through a lot? Yes, yes. I know everything." Jinhyuk gently stroked the sweet potato''s hair. Suddenly, in his right hand, he was holding a large piece of magic stone. A ''Green Magical Stone'' bought at a coin exchange for a whopping 100,000 coins. When we sprinkled the seasonings suitable for the taste of ancient species as a ''Different World Restaurant'', we came up with the perfect snack. A bright green wave formed on the pupil of the sweet potato. This will be unbearable. mosquito! Saliva flowed from the sweet potato''s mouth. Hey! I''m not trying to convince you to eat shamefully! Elise shouted. Of course, it''s useless. misread! Oh Dodok! It was because the sweet potato, who had already fallen into the magic stone, was clenching her mouth with both hands. Kuma. Did I use you? mosquito? No? mosquito! it''s done with this When Jinhyuk entered the ballroom with Elise, the inside was already crowded with people. hoo. ''All of these precious people have come.'' Jinhyuk exclaimed. Unlike the first ball that consisted only of players, this time, a lot of big players from the middle class came down. In particular, the residents of the ''Empire'', who overcame their rivals and proudly rose to the top position, were different from each other. From Swordmaster Penheimer. A High Priest who serves the only three in the Empire, the 8th Circle Archmage and the goddess Ferris. And even Alfred, who is called the Iron Minister. All those who could be called the real powers of the empire gathered in one place. ''If you introduce yourself just once, the players will be blown away, but very.'' Not even the royal wedding. To be honest, I never imagined that I would see such members on the first floor. In addition, Moorim''s side has gathered quite powerful members. Although Mo Yongsu, a member of the fifth generation of Sega, was absent, Namgung Sega and young masters who appeared to be shamans and volcanic figures stood out. but, No matter how hot it was, it wouldn''t have been possible to blow away the players'' chance to embrace it. This is especially true now, when the usage of the card called China has fallen sharply. In addition, the spirit side and small and medium forces were also seen. ''It''s the third force... .'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. It is not a resident or a player, but a special force composed of intelligent monsters. Like Caracal of the Frostblade tribe I met in the freshwater lake or Andria, the owner of the psychiatric ward, was it an extraterrestrial species that joined forces to exert influence over the tower? ''It''s definitely a force with charm.'' It wasn''t mainstream, but it was definitely a place with its own merits. That was then. In the distance, I saw Cheon Yu-seong and Teresa entering the ballroom. In contrast to Cheon Yoosung in a white suit, Theresa in a black dress. ''Is there still an aftermath?'' Teresa with a rather tired face was definitely different from before. Perhaps . If it were you, would you know? What it means to corrupt a saint. Elise spit out Jinhyuk''s thoughts instead. ...Yes. It could be a double-edged sword. Know. that it''s not easy. However. It''s absolutely necessary. From the moment they cross the 20th floor, players experience completely unknown territory. It means that you can never go up in a normal way and growing up. So, in order to survive, it was necessary to be strong. Yeah. Well, you''re all thinking. What''s going on? Do you all believe in me? Even though it''s sneaky, you always make the right decisions. And shouldn''t there be at least one person who believes in you? hmmm. Is this a bit exciting? Well, even though Elise always grumbled, she always supported my decisions. Even in the midst of having to climb the tower alone... . I think he might be one of the few colleagues with whom I can open up. In that sense, let me ask you a favor. Jinhyuk put something on the table. And. "This is maybe?" Seeing this, Elise''s eyebrows curved backwards. CH 174 . Reception of the Night (3) A white mask engraved with geometric patterns. It was a mask that symbolized ''unknown''. This ? Alice looked around. Everyone was anxious to catch the attention of the powers, so no one cared about this. The Empire and small and medium-sized forces including Penheimer seemed to be looking for an opportunity, but they did not openly approached whether it was because they kept each other in check or because of their face. Don''t worry. I''ve also spread a barrier that obstructs my view. It''s thorough. So what do you want me to do with this? You can use it... and approach the Moorim side. Jinhyuk blinked and pointed to one of the residents from Moorim. He was in his early 40''s and had a strong physique. At first glance, he is a master with an extraordinary skill. Is that the man? Yeah. Heukpunghoe (ںھƻ) Hoeju, a guy named Yang Myung. The status window and copying conditions of the guy examined through ''Eyes of Gluttony'' were perfect prey. name: good name Gender: Male Age: 43 Level: 65 Strength 35 Dexterity 45 Stamina 26 mana 11 Strength 58 Occupation: fighter Unique Ability: Black Sky skill: Lv13 ''Black Protection Priesthood (ڻȭ)'', Lv13 ''Black Heavenly Treasure (첽)'', Lv13 ''Defense Forces'', Lv11 ''Blood Shooter Rage (Ѫ_)'' [Copy condition: Good name is at Mugong level, but has a lower status than that. Because of this, the nurse is in a state of frantic about getting the ball. If you are invited to the opponent''s stronghold after making an appealing offer, you will be able to copy one of the unique abilities and skills possessed by the nurse.] It''s a common story. A life that has been despised and excluded from the mainstream for the sole reason of being from a branch. Suffering from a sense of inferiority, Hoo-myeong was an easy prey in many ways. ''Besides, if you put Elise on this... You can further expand the radius of Unknown''s activities.'' Recently, more and more people are digging into Unknown''s whereabouts. If it was Elise who could freely adjust the size with mana, it would be able to take over that role. As long as you only wear a mask and act well, anyone could become Unknown. ''No need to bother editing skills or unique abilities.'' Elise''s skill was such a striking type, so from now on, if you push it with that concept, that''s all. At the same time, I was able to copy even new abilities, so there was nothing to lose here. The worries didn''t last long. Jinhyuk opened his mouth again. Tell me that you can tell me about the final outcome of the sword. If I tell you that I have the secret book written by Chuhonsayeong, I will respond. "If it''s a wedding ceremony that original swordsmanship?" That''s right. That guy. Do you know the person from Yongke Moorim? I''ve heard of the name. It''s not like I''ve been living with a tight seal. Chuhonsayeong was the founder of Chuhonsword and was commonly known as a swordsman in Moorim. The leader of the Sapa who cut through Mount Tai with a single sword. If it was the secret book that Eccentric left, it would be more than enough to make Yeongho-myeong''s heavy butt wriggle. But, do you really have it? That secret book? As far as I know, I heard it was sold out a long time ago? Alice asked, as if quite surprised. sure. "If I had such a thing, I would have used it against Cheon Yoo-seong. Would I have kept it quiet?" Still, Cheon Yu-seong is anxious to become a great soul swordsman. One secret book could have made a second sweet potato that listens well. In the end... it''s cheating again. It''s a scam. I''m sure I''ll go with a book written by Geomseong. It''s a bit different from what he expects, though. In any case, it was true that the book was written by Geomseong. Listen for a moment. If you say this, you''ll get caught right away. Jinhyuk put the plan in Alice''s ear and informed him in detail. Elise''s pupils kept getting smaller and bigger repeatedly. And after a few minutes. Huh. I''m really glad I signed a contract with you. Alice let out a long sigh of relief. Huh? What do you mean? "No, if I thought that if I met you as an enemy and I was treated like other guys, I think I would have died from a vase." Revenge and Nabal for the rest of the heads of state. Restoring the Ataraxia family''s honor or whatever. It would have been the first to collapse from high blood pressure right away. Damn it. Hoeju who leads the Black Punghoe, which is said to be a gathering of only the best of the martial arts. As far as kwonbeop is concerned, he is one of the top masters in Moorim. Whether it is the Moorimmaeng, the Protestant Church or the Magical Church, a strong person who is not pushed anywhere. All of the modifiers were supporting the person named Yang Myung. However. Yang Myung thought that all of that was futile. No matter how talented they were, there was a limit to what they could go up to as a colleague rather than a direct lineal. After a lot of movement, his position was here. ''So it''s probably going to be mobilized for chores like this.'' Yang''s face contorted badly. To get rid of the poop that Mo Yong-soo had put away. I came here to recruit young chicks, who seem to be the only ones worth using. ''It would have been better if I had a fight with the thugs of the Empire in a cool way... .'' By the way, the law of uninhabited people to set the tax by force. Wasn''t it that the game was tilted without even seeing a proper fight after counting halfway and having a head-to-head fight? Sheesh. The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became. Even after pouring a full bottle of the strong liquor on the table into his mouth, it was difficult to silence the anger that was boiling inside. But right then. someone came From the perspective of Ho-myeong, who felt like everything was bothering him, of course, there was no choice but to make an unpleasant sound. bang! The glass of wine banged hard on the table. "I have to go with alcohol, so if you''re interested in us, you can talk to the handsome-looking nerd of Namgoong-se over there." He waved his hand without looking at him. His gaze was fixed on the glass being filled with a groan on the table. However, the words that came out of the opponent''s mouth. I''m not interested in a weak kid who looks like he''ll collapse if hit. Yang Ho-myeong''s teeth trembled wildly. what? I''m interested in people with decent skills. You bastard! Do you know what the hell you''re talking about! No matter how much Namgung Sega gathers only nerds, Only you can curse them. This means that it is not in a position where players can speak freely. I''m not feeling well, but I''m fine. Even a cheeky human could make it impossible to breathe just by slightly opening the insides. With that thought in mind, Yang Myung looked at his opponent. You... are you? pupils where earthquakes occur. He was so surprised that he spilled his drink, but there was no time to worry about it. How could you not know? One of the players that all the factions in the middle class are frantically looking for right now. Unknown... That''s right. That''s what it''s called. Elise, wearing a white mask, nodded. Since the voice was modulated through the barrier, Ho Myung did not even suspect that Elise was a woman. "Obviously I didn''t see you in the labyrinth. When did you come here?" I was a little late. I''m not interested in frivolous Karma. It''s about choosing a faction anyway, and it wasn''t too difficult either. Elise shrugged as if annoyed. arrogant and arrogant. It doesn''t pay attention to other people, but it is the essence of Unknown''s character to draw everyone''s attention. And Elise could play this character better than anyone else in the world. Because it was enough to reduce even the divinities by one fold. ''indeed . I don''t think it''s fake.'' Yang''s eyes narrowed. The result of estimating the opponent using inner strength. The opponent was undoubtedly a strong man. At first glance, I couldn''t see the end of mana... It''s never going to be an idiot''s acting. ''There were suspicions that Kang Jin-hyuk was the same person as Unknown, but it was still a rumor.'' At the table next to me, I saw an abomination sipping a glass of champagne. At least they are not the same person. if so . This is an opportunity. Unknown is one of the few players that can be compared to Kang Jin-hyuk. If they could attract such an unknown into their own power... . Maybe we will see ourselves again in Moorim. No, where is that? In the worst case, it is possible that a huge reward may be given to yourself for making such an achievement. In order to get beyond the bridle of collateral and obtain a higher status. As I thought about it that far, Yang Myung''s voice became softer. Excuse me for this. As you may know, we''re not doing very well these days. I understand. But don''t be too disappointed. I''m here for you who are struggling in hell. Alice calmly sat down next to Yang Myung. "I see if there''s something you want to say but I want you to get it straight out of the box. I''m not the type of person who likes to measure things." It''s nice because it''s cool. Actually, there''s only one thing I want to suggest. Elise pulled out an old book that looked very old from her bosom. The secret book written by Geomseong. I want to exchange this for the ''Seoncheonjingi Nursing Team''. That, that! There was a reaction that was incomparable to the first time I saw Alice. I had no choice but to do so. A rare secret book that contains the final outcome of the Soul Sword. One book of that old book might turn the whole of Moorim into a sea of blood. ''Seoncheonjingi health care group is precious, but it is not comparable to that.'' The best Giyeon that you must get even if you give a thousand gold... . Now it appeared in front of the good name. Why are you over there? Is Jinhyuk over there? Cheon Yu-seong and Teresa, who looked at the white mask, tilted her head. As the two people who knew Unknown''s identity, they realized at once that the person with Yang Myung was not Jinhyuk. "Ah that one?" Jinhyuk scratched his cheek. Hmm . How do I explain this? I''m putting salt on the wound. It is also sprinkled with coarse sesame salt. The person concerned does not yet know how painful the environment he will be in, so it will feel like walking in heaven right now. It will be only for a while, though. If I''m curious, can you tell me in detail? No, you don''t need it. You must be planning something crazy again. Cheon Yoosung frowned. It''s like you never want to know the details. More than that, did Jinhyuk decide where to sign a contract? It''s a contract... . yes it was The key to this Masquerade is to decide which faction to join. That determines how quickly and efficiently you can climb the middle of the tower. And Jinhyuk had already decided where to go with him. timely. [Players and residents, please start ''choice'' from now on.] Rick on the second floor used voice amplification magic. Now that we''ve seen each other enough, it means stop making decisions. With Rick''s words, the air inside changed once. The laughter and chatter disappeared in an instant. Instead, the place began to fill with tension. And. Naturally, among them, the place that attracted the most attention was fixed. jerk. Whoops. Rumble! As if waiting, several footsteps were heard at the same time. Seven in total... . ''It took a lot more than I thought.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. CH 175 . Shared by All Things (1) Representatives of various forces composed of humans and extraterrestrials gathered around Jinhyeok. It''s that guy again. That''s right. It''s because he finds all the delicious things and eats them all by himself. Okay, are you going to Kang Jin-hyuk? I don''t know if my stomach is going to explode like that. Seven. It''s really, really great. The envy of the players around them poured out. Small and medium-sized forces are sneaking up on them. The biggest forces, the ''Empire'' and the ''Spirit Realm'', both show interest in Jinhyuk. ''Moorim'' sitting at a table and talking with someone Except for the side, virtually everyone was moving to recruit Jin-hyeok. If it wasn''t for him, we would all have buried the bones in the labyrinth. So everyone, keep your mouths shut. Maria, who was watching silently from the side, shot sharply. If Jinhyeok hadn''t made an additional pact with the manager through the Empire... . You''ll have to pick on one finger who can survive on the 25th floor. In fact, most of them were reverse summoned to the ballroom after being embarrassed by the various traps in the labyrinth. Huh. I think those people are very jealous of my brother right now? That''s right. That''s right. I heard it too. Casey and Jude Law growled. Kaga... . that play. A gigantic Hellbird, not suited to its small stature, scratched the ground. He ran so wildly that he still had a lot of blood on his blade. If you can''t see it, you don''t have to be jealous, right? Yeah! If you can''t hear it, you''ll be quieter? A bloody conversation ensued. I mean, even those crazy brothers and sisters go out. Since they were fighters with no rational judgment, no one knew how troublesome it would be to turn them into enemies. Well, that''s... It is, but... Calm down. We didn''t mean it that way. Everyone kept their mouths shut. In fact, even with ten mouths, there was nothing to say. Because it was true that Jinhyuk saved everyone. meanwhile Penheimer approached Jinhyuk. Finally, we''ll see you again. Slightly recalled face. Penheimer''s voice trembled thinly. After a long wait, we can finally get the talent we want. Thanks to the labyrinth, I got a lot of help. Hahaha. I have to say something. Of course, you can''t even do that to the player who will be with us. Penheimer burst into laughter. Well . Jinhyeok scratched his head as if hesitantly. I''m not used to breaking the warm atmosphere at any time. It would be polite to at least manage facial expressions. Ah. I have something to tell you about that. Yes? I''m sorry, but it seems difficult to choose an empire. Hey, what does that mean? At the sudden notice, Penheimer''s eyes widened. What does this mean? How much are they investing now? However. "I know that the Empire has given me a lot and I am a Primary God, but I think it is a bit lacking in achieving my goals." Jinhyuk was still sorry, but he said absurd words with a face that he was about to die. The empire is not enough to achieve its goal. It''s still players who don''t know much about the middle-class ecosystem, but I didn''t know what this word meant. The rest of the residents were not. Because it was the ''Empire'' that was supported by a vast territory composed of seven kingdoms, a powerful military force, economic power to feed millions of people, and a splendid culture. Even if it was a manager, he couldn''t recklessly touch a huge force without a justification. By the way. ''Is that not enough?'' ''What''s your goal... ?'' ''Soringa sincerely.'' ''Penheimer, look at that man''s face. I''m in the mood to shout at any moment.'' Dry saliva ran down the throats of the residents. Penheimer, too, is just being polite to recruit new talent. If it is judged that it cannot be obtained, at least one player will be mercilessly cut down. It means that all you need is a long-term horse that listens well. The air froze cold. Everyone anxiously waited for the next move of Penheimer, who had been rejected. By the way. It was neither Jinhyuk nor Penheimer who moved. It came from an entirely wrong place. "My name is Meirena, a water spirit who has been representing the spirit world." The water spirit in the form of a noble woman had a soft smile. We are also a force that dominates the middle class and can help Jinhyuk climb the tower a lot. As you may know, there is no one in the support line that is as helpful as us. Also, it is the fastest way to reach the 30th floor. We can also provide you with a route. If the Empire does not occupy the castle, they will have a chance. Meirena quickly tried to appeal to their strengths. However. I''m sorry. Spirits are enough already. Jinhyuk refused this time as well. murmur murmur. The surroundings became noisy. To reject all the most promising forces one after another is something no one could have predicted. However, it is impossible to choose Moorim, which is constantly in conflict. ''If it''s not a huge force... Are you saying you have small and medium-sized forces in mind?'' ''No, that doesn''t make sense. Even large forces do not fill the castle, but if you choose small and medium-sized forces, it will only become more difficult to climb the tower.'' ''What are you thinking? That human bastard.'' Since he could not figure out what Jinhyuk was thinking, the ballroom was plunged into unprecedented confusion. Fuhaha! You''re right. What a fun human being. I never knew I''d see a day when all those sassy residents had all those stinky faces. Hasting, who was watching all this from the second floor, burst into laughter. Perhaps Jinhyuk''s sudden action was quite interesting, the corners of his lips were constantly twitching. Egypt''s divinity were also quite embarrassed. Rick snorted bitterly. Even if others didn''t know, he expected Jinhyuk to go out like this. It was because he knew that the player who rejected even the divinities'' proposals could not be satisfied with the powers of the middle class. Hey. Have you ever met the divinities of Egypt? Besides, you refused to hire them? Yes. I reluctantly refused. Rick remembered the past. Although there was an opportunity to put the top divinities on his back, Jinhyuk did not think about it. As if they were saying they couldn''t even afford it. Hasting''s face became very serious. The fact that even the 40th floor is not satisfied... It was hard to believe, but that meant only one thing. It means aiming for normal... Uncharted territory that no one has reached yet. This means that we will challenge the inviolable sanctuary where the beginning and end of this world is located. Perhaps that''s what it means. The arrival of the tower had a great impact on human nature, but it''s the first time I''ve ever heard of a liver coming out of the stomach like that. To be honest, I''d like to take a peek inside that friend''s head, right? Most of them weren''t even aware of it. It''s also about adapting too quickly to reality. It was also possible to take people''s lives recklessly. all. It was possible because of the appearance of the tower. Of course, even if that was the case, it wasn''t to the extent that he could lose his fear at all like Jinhyuk. Hasting stroked his chin. If you say good things, you have good guts, and if you say badly, you have nothing to lose. It''s interesting from the point of view, but it''s too reckless. It''s like you''re trying to ride a single rope on purpose. maybe . Rick listened carefully to Hasting''s words. You must be enjoying it. Are you enjoying yourself? You might lose your life for doing something like that? "If you are that person, you can do that." If you were afraid of death in the first place... It would not have been possible to show such an overwhelming move. Every moment spent in the Tower of Trials. The whole process of getting stronger and growing. And the journey to the end of the tower. Having enjoyed it all, it must have been able to attract the attention of divinities and residents. "Maybe you might be right." Hasting nodded in agreement. Then, with an interesting face, he waited for Jinhyuk''s next move. ''Show me.'' What was the reason for such a banquet? More than anything else, how to fix this mess... . What do you want, Jinhyuk Kang? What faction do you want to establish a relationship with? It was another person who opened his mouth this time. It wasn''t exactly a person. Pale skin and long antlers reminiscent of a deer. Her green hair hanging down to her waist and her four legs were quite impressive. ''Oh.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. Another rare guy appeared. The alien that leads the Dryads, ''Euasis''. He is the representative of the third force that aims for hegemony in the middle class. ''The Blue Horn clan will come directly.'' At some point, Yuasis and I had to go to the ruins together, but at least not today. Jinhyuk slowly opened his mouth. I will not choose any faction. There was no intention of going under the powers of the middle class and fussing. Whether they support and stir each other, or strengthen control over several layers. Isn''t that a matter of parties with entangled interests? "Do you mean that you want to climb the tower without power?" It''s not. Without a faction to which it belongs, there will be many inconveniences in various ways. instead. I would like to create a new force this time. My own force, led by me. You mean creating a new force...? At Jinhyuk''s words, Yuasis''s face changed. What was disconcerting was the English name of Moorim, who was with Penheimer and Ellis from the Empire. Hmm... ...that''s ridiculous. I knew Jinhyuk was doing a lot of crazy things. This was an act that went far beyond common sense. Do you know what you mean? The balance of a tower that has lasted for thousands of years... You have only been here less than a year, and you know what it''s like to create a new faction. Yuasis raised her voice as if she had received a great insult. It was no mistake that his pale face turned red. Well, from their point of view, no matter how much they fly and crawl, they will have no choice but to appear as beginners who do not know the tower''s ecosystem well. It was like a young child who couldn''t even take a step, claiming to go to war, so it was natural for her self-esteem to suffer. However. ''cute.'' It was the same from my point of view that the newbies who didn''t even know the tower were beeping. Of course, if you try to convince your opponent here, you''re just wasting your mind. Rather, it would be better to tell for sure. To create a new faction, you have to get the recognition of the existing faction... Wasn''t this the tower''s rule? " Ta, how do you know the rules of the tower? You. What the hell " Because I''m a bit more knowledgeable. Knowing that won''t change anything. It''s true that you''re great, but that doesn''t mean you''re strong enough to create a force. Yuasis shook her head. On the other hand. Then I''ll show you if I''m qualified enough to be recognized by everyone. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. And at that very moment. [Using the unique ability ''All Things (f鹲)''.] The time limit is only 30 seconds. But, that''s enough. [You have selected the unique ability of the true ancestor ''Ellis von Ataraxia''.] [The level of understanding of the target exceeds the requirement to activate the ability.] [The unique ability ''Blood Lord'' is revealed!] with a short message... . The clock was dyed red. At the same time. kukuku kuk kuk! An indescribable energy overwhelmed the ballroom. CH 176 . Shared by All Things (2) One of the Absolutes among the ten fingers of the Tower. The former head of the Ataraxia family, considered the strongest among the six great families. Alice von Ataraxia. The unique ability of the noble Jinjo was revealed. Ouch! Huh? The sound of suffocation was heard everywhere. It is as heavy as the deep sea. price... different. kukuku kuk kuk! Everyone in the ballroom pushed up the mana with all their might to the mana that weighed down on the whole body. Even breathing is not easy. ...! This . The only thing that could survive was Hasting and Rick, the managers, and the residents who came as representatives of each faction. Naturally, the players had no choice but to lose consciousness or faint on the spot. Hey, this can''t be... An earthquake occurred in Yuasis'' pupil. Even when he talked about his power alone, he thought it was a bluff not worth fighting for. At best, I thought it was an effort to get better conditions. What do you mean by moor? Mana of this absurd level! She, too, has lived in the tower and has met countless powerful people... . Arguably, it was the first time my whole body had frozen like this. ''my Did you feel fear?'' Penheimer also managed to calm his trembling hands. It was only 30 seconds, but the emotion he felt during that time was undoubtedly fear. Unknowingly, he saw that the sword he was wearing on his waist was half pulled out... . It was a feeling of naturalness rather than shame. He exudes a vicious energy like this, but even instinctively, he has no choice but to pull out his sword. '' He wasn''t just such a prospect.'' I thought it was a hunting dog that could be usefully used. So I decided to train with carrots and sticks. However. ''It was my mistake.'' The person in front of me now is not a beast with sharp teeth. A monster that preys on such beasts. A sense of intimidation that only those who are at the top of the ecosystem can exude. He was also one of the 100 Sword Masters that the Empire was proud of, but . Penheim realized instinctively. out of 100 people. No, even among the top 10 who are on the verge of becoming a Grand Swordmaster. That there was no being with such a strong energy. But . Of all the people here, the one who was most shocked was Alice. Just as he was about to finish the deal with Yang Myung, Jinhyuk used an aura he was all too familiar with. kwaduk! The champagne glass shattered and the champagne inside soaked the tablecloth, but there was no time to worry about that. ''This ability... .'' Elise''s fangs pierced her tongue. Blood Lord. How could you not know It governs the blood of all living things. their own unique abilities. Hundreds of questions rose to my throat in an instant. But don''t let that question come out of your mouth. His job is to wear the mask of Unknown and fulfill his role. Because that was a promise I made with the contractor. Instead, the old man who was sitting next to him poured out swear words. He, too, was in a state where his face had completely changed due to the liberation of mana that Jinhyuk showed. Ignorant...! You really mean you can win against a guy like that? Yes, don''t worry. As long as you have the secret book containing the final result of the Soul Sword, you will be able to defeat it. "Only the elixir if you hand it over. This is it, right?" That''s right. I can''t go on my own, so I''ll send a suitable errand. ...I see. Don''t do that. Goodman nodded his head. That ended the secret deal between the two. One storm passed. What broke the suffocating silence was a cheerful voice that did not suit the situation at all. I think this is enough to show my abilities. Jinhyuk shrugged. The image was clearly engraved within 30 seconds. It felt like I was cheated a bit, but anyway, ''everything is shared'' Also, isn''t this one of the abilities it possesses? It''s just a proper use of it, so I can''t really call it a scam. . Yuasis clenched his fists. Even though I pretended to be so talented, I couldn''t help but pretend I didn''t know. No matter how thick your face is, it''s unreasonable. "Certainly that is enough, no one can doubt the qualifications of player Jinhyuk Kang." Seeing that the managers did not intervene, the establishment of an emerging power was virtually approved. As Yuasis acknowledged, the representatives of the rest of the faction nodded their heads one by one. [The small and medium-sized force ''third force'' acknowledges the existence of a new force.] [The giant power ''Spirit Realm'' acknowledges the existence of a new power.] [The great power ''Empire'' is a new... .] [ ] I acknowledge my existence.] [Supervisor Hasting approves the establishment of a ''new faction''] [Choose a name for the new faction.] Status windows appeared one after another in front of Jinhyuk. It''s the name of a force... . Since it is a name that will become a sign for future promotions, it is better to choose it carefully. In the past, I called it ''Z?Zone Master'' because it was annoying, but I regretted it until I reached the top. Considering that, the ''Koin-Mul Corporation'' that is being put forward now belongs to a very good axis. cancer don''t Statue Corporation. Jinhyuk answered right away. [Once a name is set, it cannot be changed. Do you still want it to be ''Goin Corporation''?] In the distance, it seemed that the voices of Cheon Yoo-seong and Teresa and other shareholders were disapproving. I must be mistaken. maybe it is Huh. Jinhyuk nodded his head again. [A new faction, the ''Democracy Corporation'', was born.] [The achievement of creating a faction for the first time in the world will be inscribed in the ''Hall of Fame'' tomorrow.] [Members belonging to the faction can use the insignia that symbolizes the faction and acquire the authority to dominate the floor.] The goal of the force is to dominate a floor and monopolize the various benefits that come from it. At least on the surface, he was fighting fiercely for it. But. The real purpose lurking beneath the surface is not like that. Re-challenge to the top of a tower that has already failed once by inflating it like that. That is the wish of all the residents who failed to climb the tower in the past. ''It won''t be easy.'' It''s because they''re the ones who are at the top. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips twitched at the thought that he would have to fight those absolutes again someday. ''please. Now that it has become a reality, I want it to be stronger than it was then.'' Then it will be worthwhile to climb the tower again. That was then. It seems like we''ve been beaten up this time. I''ll get up first. If there''s anyone who wants to play with the Empire, please tell me here, Prime Minister Alfredo. Penheimer stood up with a complicated face. There was no reason to be here any longer unless Jinhyuk was conciliated. Rather, it was an urgent task to go to the imperial leadership and deliver what he saw now. Because of this incident, I didn''t know that the game of power could completely change in the future. I''ll go too. Don''t leave the rest to Namgung-se. After sharing a strange gaze with Elise for the last time, Yang Myung also turned around without any regrets. It has already served a greater purpose. Well, that''s what it means. Because the bait that Alice threw was so appetizing. Now all you have to do is calmly wait for the fish to come out of the water. Jin-hyeok savored his taste buds as he saw Ho-myeong walking away. Also, when prey with large seeds are gathered like this, it is necessary to extract as much as possible the copying conditions. ''Should I go too soon?'' All work to be done here is now complete. It would be interesting to see which faction Cheon Yu-seong or Teresa will join, but that''s okay to listen to slowly outside the tower. Even if it wasn''t, I was thinking of setting up a small after-party after one big event was over. I''m going to talk about the future as well. It was time for Jinhyuk to prepare to go. "Before we go, can I just point out one thing?" The water spirit, Meirena, who has been representing the spirit world, captured Jinhyuk. Are you going to pass? Yes. Are you pointing out something? I don''t think I did anything particularly wrong with him. "In the labyrinth, you forcibly subjugated our spirit beasts, and I hope you bring them back." Well? what kind of bullshit is this Jinhyuk''s eyebrows were curved in the opposite direction. Do you mean that I threatened you? "If it weren''t for that, there would be no way that all five Spirit Beasts would have chosen you." The criteria for selecting a contractor for the Spirit Beasts are quite strict. In particular, elemental spirit beasts who are not compatible with each other will be extremely reluctant to have their contractors contract with other spirits. With Meilena''s common sense, it was hard to believe that the five spirit beasts had chosen Jinhyuk. I''m sorry, but I don''t like coercion. Everyone joined our company very actively and voluntarily. That''s the fact that you can''t believe it. It''s not from Jung Ryeong-soo, but from player Jin-hyeok Kang. If you''re not sure, let''s ask the parties directly. Yes? Meirena rolled her eyes. Maybe it''s because I didn''t expect it to come out so proudly. However, it was after Jinhyeok pulled out all the spirit beasts that were already in the subspace inventory. Huh? What? Why did you call us? Are we fighting again? The fire spirit salamander and the earth spirit golem. Even Sylphid in the form of a proud girl. The 5th Spirit Beasts came out looking around. Of course, it was Jinhyuk who stood in the way. I''m sorry to call you while you''re resting. It''s just that the water spirit you see over there threatened me with a contract. I want you to tell me that''s not true. Don''t worry, please feel free to speak. If there is any irregularity in the contract, I will immediately cancel the contract, and I will take responsibility and send you back to the spirit realm. Meirena responded with a benevolent smile. And. Jinhyuk''s eyes behind him were gleaming with a dark color of flesh. I believe that no one will ever step forward to become an apostle of justice. Unless you have two lives. startled The spirit beasts of the 5 elements trembled thinly. It took less than a second, but I realized which one I had to choose. nothing else. To survive. Wow, we signed a contract because we wanted it. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Playing with humans is really, really. It''s. It''s fun. It''s all. Hahaha. It''s true. I was never threatened... no, I didn''t. Watch out for your mouth, idiot. He''s still not very good at talking. I''m sorry. Hehe. Okay. Everyone, be quiet. It''s noisy, so it gives me a headache. The spirit beasts quarreled in front. But, why? There is a deep sense of fear in the tone of voice that pours out like a roar of water. Really? That''s right. It''s really okay. We did it because we wanted to. They say it''s okay to die, but what kind of sharp number is there? In the end, Maylena had no choice but to give up. "I see . If I said that, I must have been mistaken." By the way. This time, Jinhyuk grabbed Meirena''s shoulder as she was about to leave for the station. uh huh where are you just going? The worst thing in the world is to be suspicious of people. He stabbed me with a knife and said, ''Huh? Isn''t it?'' are you done? If you suspect someone, you should be able to take responsibility for that as well. At the same time. White palms turned to Meirna''s face. CH 177 . living everyday What is that hand? Meirena rolled her eyes. what is it If you doubt the representative of a faction, you have to pay compensation accordingly. Bo, do you want a reward? We have to receive mental treatment costs due to verbal abuse and PTSD treatment for our spirits. Oh, defamation and insults will also be charged. I believe you are aware of the level of proof of specificity and performance. "P, PT specific surname? What does it all mean?" "In this world, I have committed a crime so great that I could destroy all three of them well, that''s what it means." It can''t be... Maylena''s mouth widened. I guess I didn''t know what happened a while ago was so serious. An earthquake occurred in the pupil. great. Again, it is best to use a lot of complicated jargon when shaking someone. To be honest, I don''t know what I''m talking about even after I''ve said it, but the other person will be shocked. Jinhyuk spoke quickly. But! That doesn''t mean I''m going to uproot a pillar in the spirit realm, it''s not like ''blessing of water'' Just do it once, and I''ll move on to it. ''Blessing of Water''. This skill can only be used by some of the water spirit beasts, and when receiving a blessing, the growth rate of the pets increased by 10%. ''The deadline is for a week, and it only applies to one of the pets you have, but it''s still not bad.'' After all, I had to create a build-up focusing on sweet potatoes rather than spirits of the five elements. Is that okay? Originally, it''s not, but I think we can go this far, especially this time. Even the wounded spirits seem to be relieved a little. Isn''t it, guys? "Uh huh. huh!" "Mom, I feel like my body and mind are getting warmer." It feels like all the wounds are healed. The spirit beasts of the 5 elements nodded mechanically. Okay. It''s not a very difficult requirement... I think I can give you that much as an apology. I''m sorry for doubting you once again. Jinhyuk Kang, player. [Meirena uses her unique ability ''Blessing of Water''.] [Growth speed is increased by 10% for one week when the received blessing is applied to a pet.] A jewel in the shape of a water drop fell on the palm of his hand. This is one of the blessings that can only be used by Spirit Beasts of upper-intermediate level or higher. Thank you. Customer. Your deposit has been made correctly. Now finally... . Jinhyuk moved slowly. Among the tables crowded with players and residents, I could see ''Alfred'', the Prime Minister of the Empire, standing. Even if it is the next best thing, he seems to be very busy selecting talents. It was a pity that I was sweating profusely through my beard. Jinhyuk came closer to Alfred. And whispered softly. " " It''s so low that you can''t hear it unless you''re just a short distance away. OK. Ugh? Alfred''s mouth blew out. The rapidly expanding pupils were filled with emotions of astonishment and fear. should never come out. This is because even within the Empire, secrets known only to very few have leaked out. At any moment, I tried to hold onto the opponent and question him. Come on, wait...! However, Alfred''s hand crossed the air without a pulse. Jinhyuk had already disappeared like smoke. Leaving the words ''I''ll go back to the Empire in a week.'' When I came out of the tower, the sunset was dyeing the whole world red. Contrary to the frantic fighting a while ago, this world was so peaceful. With office workers... . The sight of people laughing and talking passed by. Everyone looks peaceful. Elise, who had taken off the mask, came to Jinhyuk''s side and stood there. Then he glanced at Jinhyuk. Do they know? The fact that the current daily life can be destroyed at any time? If the next level of the tower is not conquered for 90 days, the human race will perish. If the Outbreak occurs, the gated city will turn into a living hell overnight. That was the reality that could come at any time after the Tower of Trials appeared. It won''t happen unless I fail. You''re confident. Well, that''s your charm. Don''t be silly and just follow me. I''m going to make the other kids wait too long. Cheon Yuseong and Teresa had already gone to the meeting place. It''s been a while since Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa also came, so it would be better to hurry as much as possible. But. It''s not nonsense. Alice''s voice was colder than usual. His eyes were also looking straight at Jinhyuk. You seem terribly selfish, but in fact your actions are always designed to save more people''s lives. Kill the wicked and save the innocent. Only the means and methods were different, but the premise did not change. The reason he was struggling to become stronger was to prevent the destruction of mankind in the end. Actually, turning all the competitors around you as an enemy and taking the role of the arrowhead by yourself is probably based on the calculation that you don''t want to harm others. I think you''re interpreting it too much... I''m just repaying the people I don''t like as much as I''ve suffered. Well, at least not in my opinion. Have you learned any interest in the past? So what do you want to say? I''m giving you advice. Alice shrugged. No one can control every situation. There will come a day when you too will have to make tough choices that you can''t handle. Even a wise person makes stupid choices. Even Seonggun makes the decision to enter the path of ruin. It''s a natural story. Because the existence of a flawless existence was a law that did not exist except for God. I know it''s reckless. I don''t hate that kind of personality either. Alice wasn''t rebuking Jinhyuk like that now. It wasn''t even worse to criticize him for doing something he couldn''t handle. only. Trust the people around you a little more. I wanted to be a strength. Because I know how lonely it is to sit on a throne alone. "The crown is surprisingly heavy." As the head of the family who protected the family among many enemies. As a contractor with an oath. I just want to share that burden. mosquito! Even the sweet potato, who was curled up in a circle, opened her eyes. Seeing him wag his tail vigorously, I definitely felt my heart pound. ''Comrade... .'' Jinhyuk pondered the word in his mind. In the past, life was in the past where everyone who approached could question their interests and turn into enemies at any time. You don''t have to trust anyone to climb the tower. I just had to take care of myself. It was natural, and that was the only way. ''Yes. That''s how I felt.'' The fact that there are people who can put their backs on their backs and share the joys and pains with them. maybe The people who are waiting for them at the meeting place right now are probably the beings they can call their companions, like Elise and Sweet Potato. So. I''ve said it for a long time, but in the end, aren''t you asking me to buy you something delicious a little later? If someone is serious, please take it calmly in this case. It''s a vampire, not a human. It is now about to lose its identity. So you''re saying it''s because it''s a one-course dish, including fried rice, sprinkled with plenty of seaweed powder on cheese dakgalbi and sprinkled with sesame oil? Of course because of that... not. Hey! As expected... Appetite makes even vampires dance. Jinhyuk clicked his tongue. Then, with her face reddened, Elise let go of her reason. Do you really want to be xxx and then xxx and then get xxxx? Do you want to catch me today? I did it in moderation, but if I wanted to, I would have xxx with xxx! However, when we first met, we had a modest and solemn atmosphere to the point where the adjective ''noble'' was attached. Now, the taste is so bad that even the gangsters of the slums are crying. '' It''s not because of me, is it?'' no way. No way. Probably not. Perhaps . Jinhyuk felt an unknown responsibility and headed to the meeting place. And Elise, who screams over and over, followed. about an hour later. Jinhyuk and Elise arrived at the meeting place. Even on a weekday evening, the streets of Myeong-dong were full of people. The two went to a Chinese restaurant that is also known as a restaurant in Myeong-dong. There were already Theresa and Cheon Yoo-seong, Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa, and Kim Hee-woong, who entrusted the Black Crow Guild. Brother is here! Brother! You''re here! Oh. Ellis is here too. Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min welcomed them. Well, since the two weren''t invited to the prom, it will feel like they''ve been seeing each other for a long time. It was even more enjoyable. Mr. Jinhyuk. You''ve worked hard. Sorry... what kind of trouble is this guy who has been scammed a lot. Theresa and Cheon Yu-seong also greeted each other in their own way. The child came here quietly this time and tried to treat him well, but he always adds the word strange. Did the representative come? Lastly, Kim Hee-woong bowed his head politely. Come to think of it, the Black Crow Guild should also have to manage a bit... . Last time I heard there were a lot of new recruits, but I thought that was true. Because the dark circles that fell under Kim Hee-woong''s eyes were no joke. You seem to be having a lot of trouble. I''m sorry I couldn''t take care of you because I''m busy. No. The CEO is just grateful for being there. Thanks to him, I was able to get a seat like this and grow the guild. Kim Hee-woong bowed his head sincerely. Instead of being acknowledged for what I had done by former guild leader Shin Geon-soo, I was only exploited, so I was able to live each day with gratitude just being able to be here. After such a light greeting came and went, the full-fledged follow-up began. The side dishes were the best in this restaurant, the beef noodle with thick meat and hand-made noodles, and the crispy pork ribs. With Soryongpo and Goryangju, a pretty nice table was completed. Oh. It''s a classy dish. Alice let out an exclamation. Ellis, who is obsessed with modern food these days, is enjoying her hobby of enjoying a variety of Korean, Chinese, and Japanese foods to her heart''s content. It wasn''t a lot of hard work for a low-level contractor, but I''ve finally been rewarded for that hard work. What? Are you trying to get behind me? Yes. If it wasn''t for ''Blood Lord'', you wouldn''t have achieved your desired purpose. I don''t know how you used the powers of this noble body, but I''ll ask you to inquire about it after eating. Alice raised her head high. He lifted it so high that only his neck could be seen. hmmm. This probably won''t work I''ll have to change my habit in a little while. Jinhyuk gently placed the prepared food on the table. Elise, who had been working on this for a long time, suddenly found the food Jinhyuk had put on it. What kind of food is this grayish-and-soft-looking food? It''s called drunken tofu. It''s a food that famous BJs are trying to eat each other to eat. I omitted the word "for punishment", but it is true that it is popular. It was a fuss trying to get it as soon as possible with the express delivery by plane. Hey. It''s such a famous dish? Yeah. Plus, this is the mint chocolate I bought from Vera. It''s my favorite dessert. After eating drunken tofu and then taking a bite of mint chocolate, oh well. I''ll never eat other food again. maybe Forever. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. At the same time, Elise''s eyes twinkled and she grabbed the spoon. CH 178 . Sword''s secret book " " After tasting the collaboration of cinnamon tofu and mint chocolate, Elise became very docile. It was not a metaphorical expression, but he was staring blankly at the sky with an expression as if he had truly lost his soul. A stalk of green mint chocolate chururuk dripped down the corner of my mouth, but I couldn''t even think of wiping it... . I think it was a little too much... is a horn. Now, I feel a little bit hierarchical. ''It has been proven that no matter how delicious herbs are, you can''t beat tofu.'' Jinhyuk had a smile on his face as if he was satisfied. OK. "Looking at you the monsters in the tower are actually not that bad." Cheon Yu-seong, who was fiddling with a beer mug, shook his head quietly. I''m good enough. And people who like both drunken tofu and mint chocolate like it quite a bit? If you mix them, you may eat two and one will die. The problem is, though, that one can really die. ...it''s okay. Let''s not talk. More than that, which faction did you choose? You also get a lot of love calls from here and there? Although not as much as Jinhyeok, many factions showed interest in Cheon Yooseong. This is because the many achievements that have been made so far have been so splendid. Yeah, I got a lot of offers. But... Having said that, Cheon Yu-seong glanced at Jin-hyuk. I also did not choose a faction. hoo. If I had chosen another place, I would have tried to take it out by force. Oddly enough, the great swordsman seems to know his fate well. Tell me. You didn''t choose to join my faction on purpose, did you? Don''t be silly. The other guys just didn''t get mad. Yeah, I''m sorry. So are you going to join? If you come in now, you can give me some more as an early member privilege. If I join a faction that is a Goin Corporation or something, I can stick a knife in your back at any time. Is that okay? Well, that''s not going to happen. How are you sure? It''s not your style to win cowardly. Jinhyuk smirked. He always talks like that, but in fact, he is a foolish gomtang who pursues the standard more than anyone else. So, it must have never been won before. I can''t stand it with words. It''s good. Defeating you is the reason I climb the tower. If we''re together, the chances will increase as well. Cheon Yoosung nodded his head. [player ''Cheonyuseong'' accepts your offer.] [The first faction member joined.] with this... . The first member of the faction entered. ''Should I take care of the rest at once.'' Of course, Elise and Teresa, as well as Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, have to prepare in advance all the talented people with different cotyledons. By the time you come out in earnest later, the ransom will already be in full swing. Jinhyuk activated the ''Faction Status Window''. [Faction Information] Name: Goin Corporation Master of Power: Jinhyuk Kang Scale: Small (2/3) Grade: D Description: As a new faction that has just been created, the influence on the tower is minimal, but the performance of a player named Jinhyuk Kang who leads the force is worth paying attention to in the future. Currently, a number of factions in the upper middle of the tower are paying attention to the ''Go-in Corporation''. The ''divinities'' at the top of the tower recognized the birth of a new power. A different kind of status window appeared than the personal status window. This is the ''force status window'' that can only be seen by those who possess power. ''Is 3 people still the limit?'' Depending on the size of the power, the number of players that can be received is limited. Of course, if you wanted to increase the number of people, you had to pay a reasonable price. And of course. In the Tower of Trials, the basic currency for that price was ''coins''. Jinhyuk checked the coins he had collected so far. A total of 1,637,218 coins. The video that saved China from despair paid off more than 50 million views in less than a day. In addition, due to the algorithm, synergy between the video and the video was created, and the number of views of other videos also increased. ''It is proof that the number of subscribers is steadily increasing.'' If you continue to upload high-quality videos in this way, you will come to a future where coins are thick when you wake up later. Jinhyuk, who had a satisfied smile, invested a coin to increase the ''source of power''. [Increases the total number of members to 23.] 50,000 coins per person. A whopping 1 million coins were consumed to increase the number of 20 people. It''s expensive, but it''s a necessary investment. If you carry on your back a force that will provide strong support, you will be able to prevent even a single variable. Soon after, Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min joined Kim Hee-woong. I''m sorry. I... Only Teresa muttered her words as if in trouble. It''s okay. I was making a suggestion. It wasn''t coercion. Even without saying it, she knew which faction she had chosen. If she was a paladin, she would have joined hands with it for the future. ''Empire'', specifically, ''Holy Kingdom''. ''I''d rather be good.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. Rather, this part will be of great help in designing future work. Jinhyeok, who had organized his thoughts, fell into the drinking party again. How long has it been? As we ate and drank, laughing and chatting, dawn came. Cheon Yoo-seong, who pretended to be strong, and Teresa, who was weak from alcohol, both fell asleep with their faces buried in their seats. When it comes to alcohol, Yoo Yeon-hwa, who shouted out loud that he would not lose anywhere, was about to stretch out, so the rest was obvious. In the meantime, there are two people who are keeping their minds intact. It was Jinhyuk and Elise. You. How are you so crazy? Are you really not a vampire? It''s me, I used to blow soju with a bottle of soju during a mission broadcast. As I drank a bottle of Chamisul non-stop to get 1,000 star balloons, I had no choice but to increase my alcohol intake. After all, it''s all memories. Of course, at the time, it was close to struggling to survive. Are you going back to the tower tomorrow? Yeah. I have to meet Yang Myung, and I have to attack the floors that I had been putting off. Above all, I decided to meet with the Empire after a week, so this is the end of my break. The information I heard from Cheonyuseong. The pass that Alice received from the nurse. With this, all the cards were collected. Huge natural cave. Hundreds of masked people gathered here. Again! Again! Even though there are quite a few people there, even the sound of dripping water can be heard . The inside of the cave was shrouded in silence. Everyone is waiting for a man to open his mouth. It''s annoying. Finally, the man opened his mouth. Heukpunghoe (ں), Hoi-myeong. [Tower of Trials] He is a member of the huge power ''Murim'' that ruled the middle class. Yang Myung glanced at the hologram clock in the air. [12:00] The clock was showing exactly the right time, no more, no less. If I''m not mistaken, it seems that the promised time has come... The air sank even more heavily at the voice of anger. appointment time. Yes. That is the reason why so many people are waiting here. Ze, I''ll check it out right away. One masked man bowed his head. But right then. You don''t have to. I just arrived. jerk. A shout was heard at the entrance to the cave. A man with a motorcycle helmet on his face struggled to get inside. Because this floor is all jungle, it''s hard to find a meeting place. What''s the trouble with leaving a good coffee shop? No matter how much you got a pass, you would have lost even ten lives. Are you the errand Unknown sent? Yeah. You can think of it as a delivery service. What did you promise? Of course I brought it. The man took a book out of his pocket. A very old looking book. It was incredibly difficult to get this. To be honest, the ''Seoncheon Jingi Health Care Team'' "Are you even thinking that you''re losing money?" If you''re going to bargain, do it while looking at your partner. I don''t have enough patience to listen to bullshit. A thin blood rose from the body of Yang Ho-myeong. The man flinched and waved his hand. ...I''m joking, I''m joking. I''m afraid it wasn''t Mugong or the people who practiced in the cave, so your sense of humor was completely blocked. Here you are. The man handed the old book to Yang Myung. Where''s the elixir? Wait. Checking the authenticity of the secret book comes first. Hey, did you only live by being deceived? Since then, it''s a job that makes a living on one credit. The man shouted, but Yang Myung lightly ignored them. pounding! pounding! heart beats at Las [The Feast of the Swordsman has come to be obtained.] How long have you been waiting for this day? With trembling hands, Homyeong turned over the first page of the old book. [7.15 Weather Clear] [Today, I go for a walk with Dad and Poppy. It was a hot day and Poppy was having a hard time. I have to go out in the evening from tomorrow. There is only one week left on vacation. It was a very enjoyable day.] . A heavy silence flows He pressed his temples gently and closed his eyes. As if he wished that what he saw was a dream. However, when I opened my eyes again, nothing had changed. Even the crooked letters. Even a man who is embarrassed in front of him. It was still there. This is a fucking reality. Oh... crazy. A swear word came out of Yang''s mouth. Words of anger are not long enough to describe. Only the thought of tearing it apart to death filled my mind. Do you dare despise me? Did you think you could survive here after doing such a thing! KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The whole cave trembled at the momentum that came out. [''Black Sky'' is activated!] An ominous yet dark power. This is the unique ability of Homyeong Ho, the leader of the Black Wind Club and the highest ranker of Moorim. In the terrifying aura, the man stepped back. Ji, calm down. You want me to get the book that Geomseong wrote? Are those real things that Geomseong wrote when he was in elementary school? I went to the school teacher and checked it myself. "This guy is coming to the end .. I''m going to burst all my intestines myself." In an instant, the new type of good name disappeared. The distance narrowed in the blink of an eye. kwaaang! A fist full of strength pierced the man''s abdomen. It is a power that would not be strange even if the upper and lower body were split. By the way. ...!? The good man hurriedly spread the distance. Hey, this is... can not believe it. It''s not simply because your opponent hasn''t just been killed by the attack. The energy that emanates from that man. Very similar to your own. No, on the contrary, there was a much darker and ominous black flame. That''s why I told you. Calm down. The man brushed the dust off his stomach. Ugh! Unbelievable . The masked men who watched the fight around them opened their eyes. Just in case, I raised my inner strength to the limit. My whole body trembled as I was stabbing my skin. No, that''s ridiculous! How do you know the season of the text that was dead hundreds of years ago! It can be called the predecessor of the Black Wind Society. A feast used only by ''He''. It was so abstruse and full of nonsensical phrases that I couldn''t even understand it. It just remains as a secret book. In fact, it would be safe to say that Mugong has disappeared. By the way. Why? . Yes man! What excellent grade did you get! Is that Mugong being reproduced here? Impossible. It''s impossible. However, even seeing the Mugong unfolding in front of his eyes, he could not deny the reality. right then The man slowly took off his helmet. Then a very familiar face appeared. Jinhyuk Kang. The appearance of a ranker who is said to be the strongest in Korea. ''I can copy abilities used by others.'' And the ability created through radiation and fusion... . It is the ''higher version'' of that series. [''Sword Grave'' and ''Black Sky'' are fused.] [You have succeeded in fusion.] [The copied ability is stored in ''Memory of the World''.] [''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong (ħʹ)'' is activated!] different power. Whoops! A dark red burning energy began to cover the entire cave. CH 179 . Kwon Cheon Ji-ryong Disciple of ''Amhuang ()'' (1) The disaster of Moorim that stains everything under the sky with blood... . People called it ''Heavenly Demon (ħ)''. And there were two pillars that offered the beams of Heavenly Demon Protestantism. One of them is the Friendship Law of the Heavenly Demon Shintoism, which has the nickname "Kwon Cheon Ji-ryong" (ȭ֮). It was ''dark yellow''. Even in the Black Wind, only a few knew about it. Heukpunghoe is a group that is originally rooted in dark hwang. In a way, it was natural for Yang Ho-myeong''s jaw to tremble. Isn''t that the lifeline... wasn''t cut off? It was even more disconcerting that the Mugong the opponent was wearing was the Mugong used by Dark Hwang during his lifetime, rather than the fact that the person who was wearing the strange helmet was actually Jin-hyeok. The player who was outside the tower inherited the Mugong of the Dark Hwang, which is rare even for the Murim people in their lifetime. I saw it myself, but I couldn''t believe it. so that. Shoot it. He had to check whether that was real or false. Jon name! At Homyeong''s order, the members of the Black Wind Association left all at once. No, I was about to kick it. kwaang! With a roar, the distance between Jin-hyeok and Ho-myeong narrowed in an instant. However, work. It''s a distance that can hold each other''s breath. Ugh! Taking a deep breath, Hoo-myeong raised the air. In an instant, black energy formed in both fists. Still, it was just one meeting, so I didn''t just panic. sure. No matter how hard he tries, the river cannot go up. The ripples can never exceed the waves of the great sea. [''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong (ħʹ)''] An indescribable energy surged from Jinhyuk''s fist. In an instant, Homyeong''s black sky shook violently as if it had lost its light. [Equation 1 (һʽ)... !] it is being sucked in. weaker energy. towards that great power. And that moment. [''The Heukryun Dark Chain''s Circle (ڒవȭ)''!] The light that had condensed on his fist was emitted all at once. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! It was a huge storm to cross. An outstretched fist, combing Yang Ho-myeong''s hair, struck the wall of the cave. kukuku bang! kwaaang! The shards of rocks falling apart created an unrealistic sight. one volume. A hole was drilled in the Haeungul Cave, which had been operating for thousands of years in a single volume. The dazzling night sky was revealed through the hole. It''d be nice if I could try it out clumsily... Jinhyuk slowly opened his mouth. And he casually added a word. A word that can never be denied from their point of view. The Emperor said something like this would happen, but still, play with it in moderation. I don''t want to hurt the people of the same clan when the closure is over and I''m about to appear. At Jinhyuk''s words, everyone''s body froze on the spot. Some were so startled that they didn''t even notice that the mask was half off. Ah, I mean, you said that to the dark emperor... how could such a absurd thing happen... The tone of his voice changed in an instant. The feeling of being forced to lay on it was soon gone. The place was filled with awe and curiosity for Jinhyuk. Of course, there were a few absurd points, so it wasn''t completely out of bounds. However. Even if this is enough, it will be easier to get things done. The fact that no one knows about the tower''s system will be an advantage in designing the situation advantageously in many ways. Whoops-! Hmm! He cleared his voice and covered his face. keep in mind The character of the person I have to act, and the way that person should speak. The first day the tower appeared. I was chosen by him. After that, I was not a player, but a member of the Heavenly Demon Protestant Church. In other words... you and I are not enemies. Rather, it is more accurate to say that we are alumni belonging to the Protestant Church. I guess. With the advent of the tower, it was an open secret that the residents of Moorim went out of the tower. In fact, I moved to recruit people who can see buds in the world, including Korea''s Yoo Chun-young. Yang Ho-myeong''s head rotated rapidly. ''It''s hard to believe that the dark emperor took a foreigner as a disciple, but looking at that crazy talent, it''s not just an absurd statement.'' In other places, pedigree was more important than skill. As far as the Heavenly Demon Protestantism is concerned, it has followed the strict logic of the weak, six, strong. Even a child begging on the street, if the talent is judged to be sacral, it means that he is immediately entitled to enter the Shinto religion. ''The achievement of Mugong just before is at a level that exceeds 3 stars no matter how small it is.'' The fact that I learned so much in such a short time in such a short period of time . There is no doubt that Jinhyuk also possesses a talent beyond imagination. Even if you bring in all the 9th and 5th generation and late indexes, you won''t be able to keep up with Jinhyuk''s current achievements. There is no doubt about this. The worries didn''t last long. chuck! Yang Myung prostrated on the spot. I see you, the Master Disciple of the Dark Huang! in a serious, subdued voice. He has as many examples as he can. OK. The rest of the Black Winds members also knelt on the spot and took the supremacy. I see you, the Master Disciple of the Dark Huang! Heavenly Demon has arrived, under the blood of the world! Manmaangbok Dark Heavenly World! (fħ, ) A voice that seemed to be united rang out. ''Things turned out better than I expected.'' Jinhyuk swallowed the shouts that were about to explode. From the moment I first saw Yang Myung, I wanted to draw a picture like this. A rare Magnum Opus that sells the name of an absolute master who is unknown to the suburban and snatches away all the forces that follow him. Although there were many conditions that had to be met in various ways, Jinhyuk perfectly matched the breathtaking puzzles this time as well. And the result is this. Hundreds of Muslims prostrate, waiting for orders. shit. If the division commander is bored with this taste, it seems that he goes to patrol each unit. The peripheral pleasures of power could not be compared with anything else. Now you believe me. Yes. Ha-na, may I ask how you chose this difficult path? If you had shared the story with me, you wouldn''t have to do so much trouble. "If I had just told you, would you have believed me?" that''s . Yang Hoo-myeong blurted the end of his speech. it must have been a crowd If I had said that out of nowhere, I wouldn''t have pretended to have listened. After the question was resolved, Homyeong raised another question. "Did Jinhyeok plan to spread the bait related to the Soul Sword through Unknown?" also. I''m also asking this. However, he had already prepared all the settings for Unknown. Jinhyuk once again spit out a story that would terrify everyone, as if he were telling a daily story. That guy is a disciple of Chuhonsayeong (׷бӰ). To be precise, he obtained the piece containing the soul of Chuhonsayeong. He learned it directly from the swordsman who invented the Chuhonsayeong, so of course he doesn''t know the final consequences of the Chuhonsayeong. uh? " " Now, as if he had completely lost his way of speaking, his face had turned white. thing. shut your mouth Then I will go to Paris. "Wow, indeed everything was planned. But, what is the hope of the Dark Emperor?" do i know that Whether it be Heavenly Demon or Dark Huang, he must be buried somewhere in the 100,000 Daesan Mountains right now. To be honest, no one knows what these guys are up to. Well, thanks to you, I can make up my own words like this. "Soon, Heavenly Demon will come out after closing its closure. On that day, the balance of the middle class will be completely disrupted." It''s all natural. No matter how powerful the Empire or the spirit world is, it won''t be able to compete with the Heavenly Demon, who has overtaken the Heavenly Demon. Yeah. So, we just have to work hard until that day comes. To be precise, we just have to follow my instructions given to me by the Dark Emperor. Just say the word. I''ll do whatever it takes. It''s reassuring to say that. Then, first of all, I would like to ask you to protect yourself until you absorb the ''Seoncheonjingi Boyangdan''. You know that no one should touch you during the fortune-telling breakfast, right? Don''t worry about it, slowly absorb the elixir. Goodman shook his head again. place so prepared. Jinhyuk poured the medicine into his mouth in an iron escort. gulp! A pill the size of a fingernail ran down my throat. huuuuuuuuuoooooooooooooooooo It was at that time that a huge amount of energy surged. ''Now!'' Jinhyuk absorbed the ''frozen tears'' he was holding in his opposite hand. The crystals of mana with extreme cold could only alleviate the cold through a special method. Now, the ''Seoncheonjingi Remedies'' was one of those methods. Wow! A thick tendon protruded from his forehead. Indeed, the cold air that comes out of the frozen tears is not normal as the steps are repeated. In addition to that, the yang energy of the elixir has to be absorbed, so the burden on the body is bound to increase. Pants... ! It felt like all my blood vessels were going to burn, but if I lost consciousness here, I would fall into QiGong Deviation. calmly. At the same time, you can overcome this hurdle only by calmly controlling the yin and yang energy that spreads everywhere. Whoa. Jinhyeok took a deep breath and concentrated his mind. It was a task that required extreme control to the extent that ordinary people could not even dare to do so, but Jinhyuk began to run through the tremendous difficulty with amazing momentum. In this way, after piling up the inner hole centered on Gihaehyeol and rotating the mana from Baekhoehyeol to Yongcheonhyeol, return to the danjeon Gihaehyeol to complete the 1st stream ''indeed A monster.'' Homyeong, who was watching, swallowed dry saliva. It''s surprising how well it absorbs the famous ''Seoncheonjingi Boyangdan'', which is notoriously difficult to handle. In addition to dealing with the spirit corps with a terrible cold. ''Could it be a perennial ginseng?'' No, even if it''s ginseng, it doesn''t have that heavy energy. At least two steps above that. Yes. It was undoubtedly such a new thing. ''It''s only natural that the Dark Emperor had his eyes open. If it were such a device in the world, it would play an innovative role in establishing a new history of Protestantism.'' How many hours have passed? tsutsutsutsutsu . The momentum that had been running wildly had subsided. At the same time, Jinhyuk stopped operating mana. Finally, he succeeded in absorbing both energy. [mana increased by 60.] '' You did it!'' This is the reason why I did this until I was in a crowd. A hidden benefit that can only be obtained by absorbing conflicting energies at the same time. The mana, which can only be obtained by raising about 20 levels, can now be increased at once. pounding! pounding! pounding! Jinhyuk''s heart was pounding uncontrollably. The mana that I had collected with all my might so far was 121, but this time, I got half of that mana. Congratulations on your improvement in air force. Yes. Thank you. "Well, what are your plans for the future?" Jinhyuk immediately answered the question of Hoho Myung. The important thing here is to give orders, not requests. If there is a virtue one should have as a disciple of the dark hwang, it is arrogance. I''ll borrow the black wind hoe. Huh, how about the black wind hoe... From now on, all the minor forces downstairs are sorted out. If you are on the 20th floor, you can easily handle the 8th and 9th floors. sure. A justification is needed here. And there we will rebuild the Heavenly Demon''s name. The cause of the complete resurrection of Heavenly Demon Protestantism. In other words. It means that if you attach the same reason to each other, you can turn all the people here into listening poppies. CH 180 . Kwon Cheon Ji-ryong A disciple of ''Amhuang ()'' (2) The 8th floor of the Tower of Trials. It is not an exaggeration to say that this place, which is a maze of 10,000 km and made up of the entire floor, is a natural rough terrain. Thousands of passageways and countless traps seemed to show how difficult it was to get through. ''I used to come here often to play... .'' Jinhyuk, who was standing alone a few hundred meters from the entrance of the maze, pondered the memories of the past. Searching the entire 10,000km maze in search of the Easter Egg hidden by the operator... After that, it was a memory that I can talk about with a smile. right then Someone appeared from the shadows. Master. Thirty black winds, all are ready. A rather dwarf body of 170 cm. The boy with long straight hair and white skin bowed his head politely. As a limb sent by Yang Myung on his behalf... . His name was ''Wolyeong'', maybe? Homyeong said that he was one of the most talented people in the group. I shouted loudly that I would never hold my ankle. The interior seems to have been finely chopped, but from the outside it looks like it''s completely inconsequential. ''How about the interior room?'' Jinhyuk used ''Eyes of Gluttony'' to check his status window. Name: Moonyoung Gender: Male Age: 22 Level: 47 Strength 20 Dexterity 55 Stamina 19 mana 11 Strength 60 Occupation: escort Unique Ability: Shadow Kill (Ӱؽ) skill: Lv10 ''Silence'', Lv8 ''Sword River ()'', Lv7 ''Black Sky (칦)'', Lv7 ''Defense Force'', Lv7 ''Loyalty'' [[Detailed explanation: Wolyeong is a memorization of the Black Punghoe that was taken from Homyeong Yang before she was even born as an orphan of Cheonae. It specializes in assassination of factors and escorts, so it can be a very effective tool if you use it by your side. However, the way of thinking of the subject is ''a little''] Because they are different, very careful handling is required.] [Copy condition: Currently, Wolyeong is not with you because of trust, but because of the order of the nurse. If you can earn his loyalty, you can copy one of the target''s unique abilities and skills.] A unique ability that specializes in long-distance as well as medium- and short-range attacks using shadows, ''Shadow Killing (Ӱؽ)''. ''Oh.'' This turned out to be quite tasty. Thanks to the lie that he was a disciple of the dark hwang, the number of cards that can be used in various ways increased significantly. Not only Yeongwol, but also the 30 elite members of the Black Wind Club borrowed this time will be very useful in attacking the tower. This time, the gaze turned to the copy condition. You have to earn loyalty... . ''Honestly, it''s not a difficult ability because loyalty will rise if I know enough.'' He never doubted that Yeongwol would become his person if he behaved as usual. Toughness is toughness. Skill is skill. Welfare is welfare. He has all the qualities a leader should have as a representative of the Goin Corporation. ''I''ll have to go slowly now. Let''s keep our distance and try to understand the situation first.'' Jinhyuk moved to a place where the entrance to the maze was clearly visible. Whoops! A fairly large number of players were gathered at the entrance. There were also some familiar guild marks. They were busy taking care of the ball and everything, but the guilds who were not invited there seemed to be in full swing to attack the tower. After all, now is the perfect time for the second-ranked players to hit the top. By the way. ''Hmm?'' Jinhyuk looked around and saw a familiar figure. A woman with long hair hanging down. That was Melena of the Mine Association. His face was half covered with oversized sunglasses, but everyone he knew was recognizable. ''What did he come here for?'' It is not a noble will to attack the tower for the future of mankind... . I''ve been thinking too quiet lately, but it smells too suspicious. All you have to do is ask directly to confirm. I''m going to talk to that girl for a while. Don''t do anything that catches people''s eyes and just hide. Can you do that? Is there any reason we have to hide? You look pretty smooth, but the rest of you look terrifying that you''ll run into them at night. Do I really have to say these things out of my mouth? Imagine a bunch of men with scars and shaggy beards roaming Ururu in black. Is that a stealth maneuver? It''s like a walking billboard. No, it might be lucky if you don''t report it to the police station or get caught. In my opinion, it is not understandable to say that appearance is a problem. Rather, a strong impression can be a means of overpowering the opponent in battle. Wolyeong tilted her head as if she didn''t really understand. It reminds me of someone who lives somewhere clogged up. If there''s one thing I''ve learned in my life, it''s that you shouldn''t try to persuade these guys by using common sense. Jinhyeok brought out a magical word that was unconditionally eaten only in black wind sashimi. To achieve the cause of Heavenly Demon Protestantism, the fewer people you know, the better. So follow me. The fewer people you know... yep. I understand what you mean. Wol-young nodded as if he understood. Jin-hyeok, who had fallen from Wol-young, went straight to where Melena was. Among the players, there was a woman who was caught thinking deeply about something. Hey. Do you see everything in a place like this? Jinhyuk smiled brightly and handed him a greeting. Of course, from Melena''s point of view, it was just like being struck by lightning in the dry sky. You, you...! Don''t say it out loud. Isn''t it you rather than me who loses when you draw people''s attention here? The devil roams in broad daylight. The world has gotten so much better. If you unpack the bowl once here, I think you can watch Melena roaring on the firewood... . Where do you really want to try it? It''s just that the tongues are about to come out of your mouth. that''s ! Melena glanced around and looked around. Fortunately, everyone was preoccupied with getting ready to enter the maze, so no one cared. so far it is Oh, I see. I see! I''ll tell you anything. First of all, move. It''s a wise decision. Jinhyuk followed Melena into the forest. It was only after arriving a little far from the entrance that I was able to be free from the gaze of the people around me. Tell me. Why are the demons interested in the 8th floor? Let''s hear from that and judge. Melena flinched at Jinhyuk''s question. However, it was only for a while. He realized that he could not be deceived with any lie or excuse. Actually, a unique mana was discovered a few days ago, although it was actually discovered by accident by one of my maze colleagues. A unique mana? You would know. About the ''double wave''. Appears when a connection is made between the floor and the floor.... Yeah, that''s right. It means that a passage is connected between the 8th and 9th floors. I came here to investigate it in earnest. The 8th floor, where the entire floor is only a maze, and the 9th floor, where medium-sized monsters are lined up, are connected. At that fact, goosebumps arose throughout Jinhyuk''s whole body. ''no way It means that the two classes have been united.'' That must mean that the difficulty level here has increased ridiculously. How many players have entered the maze? Jinhyuk asked urgently. "There were quite a few. As you know, there are a lot of people who want to become heroes, right? A large-scale American guild is still in the process." It''s already late. There were more questions to ask Melena, but not right now. Follow me. Jinhyuk grabbed Melena''s wrist tightly. Come on, wait! Me too...? Of course you have to go inside. Where are you going to get away by yourself? A company and an employee are destined communities that live together even if they die and die together. Melena tried to escape somehow, but Jinhyuk was not able to release the fish he had caught once. However. Jinhyeok, who arrived at Yeongwol, had to be engulfed in a huge shock again. My head is throbbing. I had no choice but to do so. Because there were Yeongwol, who was showing their shoulders in triumph, and the players lying down with their foam in front of them. Of the hundreds of players, not a single one was conscious. Uh-huh... Let''s be patient. Maybe it''s because he''s still a kid. Above all, there may be a surprisingly plausible excuse here. Explain. Short version. Didn''t your lord say? You should avoid seeing if possible. "It was it was." Obviously, that''s what he said. But did you stun them all? I have only followed the solemn orders of which I belong. Yeongwol bowed his head as if he was embarrassed, and was polite. Now I understand what the system was saying. The way of thinking is ''a little'' different from others I said that it would not be easy to deal with because it was different. Jinhyuk pressed his temple with his index finger. Okay. Get ready to go into the maze right now. There are already players inside. We must hurry before they all turn into corpses. A large number of players were gathered at a point about 20km away from the entrance of the maze. The loss of contact again... the man muttered One of the five largest guilds in the United States, ''Lockheed''. And the man was an AAA ranker, one of the main pillars of the guild, and had the name ''Jack Friedman''. Although he was in a position that everyone would envy, Friedman''s expression was not so bright. yea that''s the way it is The power brought in to break through the maze on the 8th floor was the main raid of the Lockheed Guild. This means that only players who have received a grade A or higher and have experience in attacking up to the 10th floor or higher have been selected. By the way. Strangely, the previously successful maze felt too heavy. '' different.'' This is not to say that the complexity of the maze or the difficulty of the traps are simply difficult. Rather, something fundamental had changed. The sticky air that clings to the whole body. It didn''t feel right at the entrance, but as he went inside, his doubts turned into certainty. Friedman glanced at the status window floating in the air. [0h:0m:1s] The status window displaying the time has just been exhausted. Beep! Beep! A loud beep sounded. The atmosphere around him subsided even more heavily. "Captain of Engineering. Just three hours have passed." 3 hours. It meant the time that had elapsed since Katie, who was leading the scout team, went inside. At the same time, it meant that none of the 13 scouts had returned. Damn it. Friedman bit his molar. What is it that means that the contact between the scouts and their families is lost? He knew the premise of minimizing the risk of the main force, but he could no longer continue making meaningless sacrifices. at last. Ranger is waiting. Lloris, Michael. Take the lead. We''ll go inside. The players made up of tanks and dealers decided to go inside. CH 181 . Glyph of Red Oath (1) When it was decided to enter the interior, everyone''s faces changed. At the thought of going inside from now on, fear creeped up. Are you really okay? A black man, fully armored, opened his mouth. One of Friedman''s names, Lloris, was the raid''s main tank. Of course, he had a lot of voice as he played the role of holding the center of the raid. Even if the damage is great, we can''t help it. We only have one hour left. If we don''t get to the second area within that, the strategy we know will be useless. The maze on the 8th floor changes its overall shape every day, that is, 24 hours. The players who attacked this place in the past had to know the location of the maze according to the starting point, so they had to arrive at a specific place within the time limit. It means that if you are late, you will become a lost child in a completely changed maze. But, unless you know what traps are in front of me. It''s dangerous to move around. It''s not a trap. It''s probably something else. Setting up and destroying traps is a ranger''s specialty. The fact that the Class A rangers who were trained with various unique abilities and skills were annihilated means that it is not only because of the trap. "If anything else , what are you talking about?" I''m not sure yet, but if my prediction is correct... Blood, damage! Friedman screamed for his throat to burst and swung his long sword. kwaang! He managed to defeat the one that flew towards the raid. However, it only blocked one out of a dozen. ???????????? Whoops! Aww! aaah! With the sound of steel armor and flesh being pierced, terrible screams echoed here and there. A two-metre-long weapon was thrown at a speed difficult to discern with the naked eye. It''s closer to a harpoon than an arrow. The power there was also absurd. As soon as I touched it, my arms and legs were torn off. enemy It also possesses such a superpower that it is said that it is ignorant. Throb! Throb! There was a tingling pain in the wrist and arm that had blocked the attack. You must avoid it, do not block it! Friedman yelled for his throat to burst. If you were able to operate the Aura blade, you would receive such a shock just by bumping into it. The rest of the players won''t be able to stand it. Open up! Damn. Start with detection magic! You have to figure out the type and location of the enemy! Wizards cast casting. Transparent waves spread out along the dark passage. far away A mana reaction, estimated to be about 3 m in size, was caught from a very long distance. It''s a known kind of mana reaction. It was the mana of the ''Ogre'', a predator famous for being ferocious among medium-sized monsters. It didn''t make sense for the monsters that act alone to swarm around, but there was no room to worry about that. The moment the detection magic saw their existence. Because the other side also realized that they had been detected. The reaction was immediate. Something is coming! The numbers are eighteen, nineteen... twenty-one. Fast! The female wizard hastily reported. Not an ogre this time. Mana''s reaction was also small, and the speed of narrowing the distance was ridiculously fast. Like As if he had strengthened his whole body with something. fault! taat! I wondered if I could hear the sound of rubbing the ground. Shortly thereafter, monsters with small stature appeared in the passage. Hey, goblin? To say that, the movement was too ghastly. Keeek! Keeek! Red mane-shaped spots appeared on the green skin. The goblins dig into the players with their daggers. Scratch! Whoops! The dagger aimed at the part that was not protected by the armor. Because his natural strength was so weak, he aimed at an exposed place. Sheesh! It''s like loach-like guys! The players with their tongues in the shallow cut swung their weapons wildly. A wound of this size was not a very insignificant wound for a raid. But. That negligence led to a very fatal outcome. ...!? Woah...weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Turn it off... The injured players suddenly rolled their eyes and began to evacuate what was inside. Oh, it''s poison! Damn. There is a poison that works so quickly. This, too, is not an ordinary level of poison. Healers used the detox skill, but only to delay death by a few tens of seconds. Sa, save me! Aww! With the players being swept away helplessly. There were monsters that moved so neatly that one could only think that they had received a high level of training. From arcing at a distance through a javelin to breaking the formation in melee. It was an ambush with nothing to complain about. Hey, this can''t be... Friedman instinctively realized. After the 8th floor was opened, quite a few raids started to attack the maze, but why did not one reach the end. ''It wasn''t because the maze was complicated.'' It was simply because the monsters roaming in the maze were so strong that they far exceeded common sense. Immediately, we must go out and inform the Lockheed Guild and the rest of the guilds around the world. However, by what means? With colleagues dying without even being able to properly resist. There are rankers who struggle with not being able to defeat only one goblin. He will also die here as many players have been missing so far. "At least I''ll take one with me!" Friedman threw a gamble that was close to a slap in the face. It was an attack that neglected defense and aimed at Dongguijin. Nevertheless. The sword couldn''t even brush the goblin''s hair. The goblin evaded the attack with another deformed movement and swung the dagger towards Friedman''s shoulder. No, I was trying to wield it. Push! Suddenly, the goblin stood tall. Kek? The veins gushing out of the neck... . Considering the movements they had shown so far, it was a very unrealistic sight. The goblin''s body collapsed sideways like a doll with a broken thread. ''Hey, I got it so easily... ?'' An earthquake struck Friedman''s pupil. He swung his sword tens or hundreds of times to catch this one, but nevertheless did not cause even a single dent in his wounds. But in one shot... ? right then Get rid of all those who get in the way. A cold voice was heard next to Friedman. I don''t know if it has come However, the owner of that voice commanded. Clear all obstructions. John. That''s enough. Dozens of shadows moved so fast that it could not be compared with the speed the goblin had just approached. Pacchut! Chun! Keeek! Keeek! Things have completely changed. This time, the severed arms and legs of the goblins crossed the air. There were no monsters that survived the typhoon. unilateral slaughter. There is no better word to describe this bloody road. Friedman slowly turned his head. OK. I saw a man in a mask with geometric patterns, a woman with red hair, and thirty masked men surrounding them as if escorting them. Each of them is a strong player with skills that are completely different from the elite members of the Lockheed Guild. the level... how much How terribly trained. I couldn''t even imagine. The one that stood out the most was the man in the mask. there is no way to know How could you not know? Uh... Known. Friedman, who confirmed the opponent, slowly pondered the name. ''also Did this happen?'' Jinhyuk looked at the mangled goblin''s corpse. A pattern that blooms all over the body. no doubt Not only did the 8th and 9th floors unite, but also ''that guy'' was behind them. A named monster specialized in strengthening monsters with Shamanism and dealing with corps-level troops. I got rid of all the little ones. There are a few more big ones at the end of the aisle, what do they do? Wolyeong pointed the tip of the sword to the end of the passage. Just then, three spears flew out from the darkness. A terrifying blast that cuts through the wind pierced the eardrum. Boo woo woo! It was the javelin that turned the formation of the Lockheed Guild into a rag. " " Wolyeong was about to step forward, but soon the sword that had been half-appeared was withdrawn. It was because he saw that all of Jinhyuk''s hand was covered with black energy. [The unique ability ''Claws that cover the moon'' is revealed!] The unique ability used by Michael, the descendant of the Decasus family, fully bloomed. Pants... ! Hands completely black. It is as if the claws of a beast have grown. Jinhyuk stretched out his hand towards the flying window. Pop! KwaKwaKwakwok! Then he grabbed it from the air and smashed it. The three spears fell into fragments in an instant and fell to the floor. This is the master disciple of Amhuang. It is a monster that is rated as the strongest even with bare hands. At least. '' The game has already been won.'' It was reflected in Wolyoung''s eyes. fault! The body that was strengthened through Sword Demon King''s Bodies disappeared like the wind. I wondered if a faint dust would rise, and then Jinhyuk reached the ogre''s nose. total three. I caught my eye as he was preparing for the next attack with his spear raised. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo The ogre screamed. This guy also had a red mane-shaped pattern all over his body. ''I''m guessing that''s enough to spread almost all over the group.'' I don''t have much time. To take advantage of this situation, you need to move as quickly as possible. Jinhyuk lightly avoided the spear that flew at his head and waist. Two spears stuck to the ground. ''Strength and speed are more than three times that of a normal ogre.'' To be honest, I was a little surprised. Because stupid ogres couldn''t make such a systematic move. However. That''s all. Whoops! Black claws pierced the ogre''s heart. Turn it off... A hand protruding through the ogre''s chest created a grotesque scene. Koooh! Oooh! The other two ogres quickly attempted a second attack. A battle hammer for siege, not a range, crossed the air. It is common sense to avoid. Until now, it has overpowered opponents in the realm of technique and technique rather than a confrontation between power and power. But why? ''Even if you don''t... .'' Jinhyuk clenched his fist. Aww! With the terrifying sound of the wind, metal balls collided head-on with Jinhyuk''s fists from both directions. If a fist and a hammer weighing over 100 kg collided, it was as if the outcome had been decided. sure, Assuming it''s just an ordinary fist and hammer. Quad Duck! Whoops! Along the surface of the iron, cracks like tortoise shells arose. At the same time. Kukuku! The same cracks began to appear in the bodies of the ogres. Red blood spurted from the chil-gong. kuung! The gigantic body collapsed. But there is no time to enjoy victory. T-tiring! A status window appeared in front of Jinhyuk. [ ] .] The status window dyed red was emitting an energy as sinister as its color. CH 182 . Glyph of Red Oath (2) [One of the boss monsters on the floor reveals an uneasy feeling in your actions.] A red colored status window appeared. At the same time. [under this is not funny What are you doing now? Huh?] The voice through the electric wave penetrated into my mind. It was the voice of a woman full of anger. ''After all, among them, this guy is the first to react.'' Even on the 9th floor, which is called the monster''s paradise, there are three monsters with the strongest strength. ''Atasha'', a half-human and half-beast grouse that is a mixture of a bird and a woman. The desired giant-class named monster squirmed the bait. Why? Are you offended by some cute pets? [Hey Look. He seems to be quite strong among humans, but don''t believe in such things. I can go to one room. Yes? did you hear Just beat a few ogres and don''t fuss. If I were there, you would just... .] Well . It''s interesting. [Is it strange? what?] I''ve been fighting many bosses and named monsters until now, but it''s the first time I''ve met someone as shallow as you. There are exceptions though. It is usually said that the snout and skill are in inverse proportion. Now that I have more words than before, I am curiously looking forward to whether I will be able to follow half of those words. [Wow! great. That would be fun. After all, you have to be quick to catch fish.] I was also thinking about how to beat you to get my taste, do you think we have something in common? Jinhyuk smiled brightly. And before Atasha could say anything, she added a word. Ah! Don''t shoot in a rage. If you send out indirect messages with even voices, you''ll spend a lot of coins, but it''s too much for your pocket. I''m talking about a guy who has some. I''m giving you advice because I''m afraid you''ll end up on the street right now. How many items have you collected under the theme of bird head? No, even if there is something I have saved, I may forget it if I turn around. Especially if it''s a grouse. [ ] Kill it! I mean, kill me right now!] with shouts. Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooing One of the walls of the passage went up. Another ogre appeared. No, to be precise, the appearance was different from the ones I killed the first time. If the previous ones were impressive with their muscular and heavy body, the ones who appeared now have long arms and legs and a slim body. A sharp 1.7m sword and a blunt-looking rectangular shield. And he was in a state of being armed with armor that covered all his vital points with chains. It''s definitely a little different. Those who look very tough are the friends who think it''s too much to put on the table. The most impressive thing is the patterns engraved all over the body. The pattern reminiscent of a tiger''s mane was glowing with a soft red light. [The one I sent earlier is just a reconnaissance team. Is it a use that goes away just by looking at it in moderation? On the other hand, these guys are for combat. They''re the elites we''ve chosen to deal with those pesky bastards. look. I see something different from the pattern... .] Grouse''s verbose remarks could not be finished. Ugh... . Tuk! Jinhyuk''s palm touched the ogre''s stomach. Puppupuck! A ghastly slaughter yin and a fountain of blood dyed his vision red. [Father, is it fast?] Absolutely incredible speed. The improved ogres specialized in mobility and person-to-person warfare didn''t even respond? Such nonsense... ! But even more surprising is that the ogre, a medium-sized monster, died instantly with such a light gesture. Unlike Grouse, who is embarrassed by unexpected situations. ''It tastes great once in a while.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips rose sharply upwards. Black Demon Hwanggong. Like Mugong written by Amhuang, its power was beyond imagination. In the meantime, I''ve mainly used swords to fight, but the body-to-body combat like this has its own charm. In particular, the charm of using ''nails that cover the moon'' and mana and inner strength at the same time made me feel a new pleasure that had been forgotten for a long time. ''It''s perfect for relaxing.'' Due to its large size, the taste is also excellent. Jinhyuk immediately caught up with another ogre using ''Sword Demon King''s Bo''. kwaaang! Another fist shattered the ogre''s armor. Keek! The ogre, whose body had been completely broken into a gimmick, collapsed on the spot. two with this The last guy made a counterattack that was almost in vain. The sword that soared high in the sky was thrust down vertically. Moment, Cuckoo! The ground on which Jinhyuk was standing was dug in a round shape. kukukuku! A black energy arose from his body. Unbelievably ugly... . Heavenly Demon One of the demonic energy that very few can learn even in Protestantism. The sword that was flying towards the top of the head was blocked by the energy and stood tall in the air. Fisting fists formed in the ogre''s pupils, full of fear. It''s like slow motion. His fists smashed his tusks and pierced his skull. KwaKwaKwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwak! Aww! The body of the ogre, which rotated 360 degrees, pierced the wall and went to the opposite wall and was stuck. Then, through the other side of the wall again, it went on to the next. Continue until your whole body is shattered and crumbled... Continue . When Ou finally came to a halt, almost imperceptibly broken, more than seven walls had already been punctured. [No, ignorant !] Grouse''s voice filled with embarrassment. However, unlike the first time, the anger lacked certainty. I think this is enough to say hello, so I''ll just say one last word. Jinhyuk tilted his head slightly. Towards the three monsters who are watching over there. Wherever you are, you''re hiding. Very tight. I''m sure this maze will be a solid hideout, but well... . If you believe in a sandbox that is only about 10,000km long, this tagging game will be over in an instant. Hey, this can''t be... Friedman, who had been watching all the battles, let out the breath he had been holding back. It was because of the overwhelming strength that took his breath away, and he had forgotten to even breathe. "With just a few fists those monsters " ''only''. Such an expression was inevitable. Because the seemingly simple movements and linear attacks even seemed futile. Watch out for your mouth. It may seem simple at first glance, but you''re showing a level of inaction that you can''t even imagine with your clumsy level. Wolyeong frowned. Wol-yeong, who entered the ranks of the best in the Black Punghoe, was keenly aware of Jin-hyeok''s movements and how great Mugong was. Melena, who was right next to him, clashed. He''s a total monster. That''s why everyone gets exploited. By the way, who is the Sojour? I''ve seen the master bring him with him, but... Before answering that question, were you and the guys behind that forcibly joined a company that said it was Goin Corporation or something? I''ve never heard of such a sect. He''s blue and young, so he talks like an old kid. What kind of historical drama are you filming? If it''s a historical drama...? Wolyeong tilted her head. Melena let out a small sigh as if she was frustrated. Ttttttt. You also seem to have a very clear path of hardship. Who will sympathize with you as you walk into hell together? "I am prepared for the fact that the path the master is walking will be stained with blood. But, from what you are saying, the Sojourner seems to know quite a bit about the master, right?" It''s not good... No, well, even after meeting that guy, there won''t be a lot of people who survived. Do you want to belong to the one you know well? Anyway, what are you curious about? I wonder what the master''s usual appearance is like. Wol-young didn''t know too much about Jin-hyeok, who she was going to meet. Except for being a disciple of Amhwang and living a double life of Kang Jin-hyuk and Unknown. So, I wanted to know everything. every little thing, every little thing OK. Hmm . After thinking for a while, Melena slowly opened her mouth. Should I say Demon King...? He is terribly strong and more tenacious than anyone else, and shows no mercy towards his enemies. That was the person Jinhyuk knew. right then What are you two talking about so much? Jinhyeok, the party involved, approached. Oh no! I didn''t say anything. Really! Confused, Melena quickly shook her head. On the other hand. You''ve worked hard. Wolyeong bowed her back with a face filled with various emotions. Awe and admiration for showing Mugong with such a high degree of perfection. If you are a disciple of the dark emperor, it must be because of the mixed naturalness of doing this. [Wolyoung''s loyalty and favorability increase by +5.] [Loyalty points remaining until the copy condition is completed: 95] A status window appeared in front of Jinhyuk. ''It''s really possible to achieve the copy condition in this way.'' If you appeal to Wolyeong with a strong presence in this way, you will soon be able to copy one of his abilities. great. This has been resolved... . You''ve got to get out of there with the wounded. As you can see, they''re not worthy of your level. Jinhyuk spoke to Friedman. Friedman, who was still immersed in his ears, came to his senses only after hearing Jinhyuk''s words. He knew better than anyone else that he was ''not at a level to deal with''. ''I can''t even keep up with the toes of those people with my skills.'' The black men who wiped out the goblins in one shot must have been a strong man with tremendous skills. Even if you bring the entire Lockheed Guild, you won''t even be able to take on the role of 1/10 of those 30. Furthermore. Unknown, respected by such black people, was a monster with a completely different level of skill. Wouldn''t it be more of a burden if I tried to forcefully intervene in such a gap? ''There''s nothing I can do.'' The worries didn''t last long. ...I see. I''ll ask for your back. Friedman nodded. While the survivors of the Lockheed Guild collected the dead and wounded, Jin-hyeok, Wol-yeong, and Melena gathered behind a large rock to discuss the future. What are we going to do now? Do I have to find the exits one by one using the orthogonal method? It''s not bad to go on a leisurely cruise, but the conditions here aren''t good enough to enjoy the scenery. It was enough for the labyrinth on the first floor to suffer in the musty maze. It means you don''t want to spend months eating moss and bats again. Sir. Do you have anything in mind? Look Carefully. Jinhyuk connected to the ''Coin Exchange''. From now on, I will show you how to attack the maze in the shortest amount of time. A gap hidden deep in the maze. There are places that can only be reached after passing through tangled passages and numerous traps. The place where the monsters from the 9th floor stay. From small species such as goblins to orcs, to medium-sized species such as ogres and wyverns. There were literally dozens of monsters roaring and showing their teeth. There were also people attacking each other because they couldn''t control the boiling blood as if they were eager to run rampant at any moment. And. The three boss monsters who managed them were in a state of shock and astonishment in front of the crystal ball. Jinhyeok was in the sight shown in Sujeonggu. So far there was nothing surprising. the problem is. What a crazy...! Hey, are you crazy? I told you! Totally a nerd! The focus of attention was on what he was doing now. CH 183 . Union of two tiers (1) Kirik? Kei... The goblins approached as if possessed by something. Half-open eyes and a wrinkled nose. And the saliva dripping from his mouth seemed to be poisoned in some way. jerk. My gait staggered even more. right at that moment. Puppupuck! Puffy! The men in black robes subdued the goblins at once. The goblins fell on the spot like puppets with broken threads because they hit the soft part of their neck with their hand blades from behind. seven in total. The number of monsters captured by this alone exceeded three digits. Melena, who was watching from the side, swallowed dry saliva at the absurd sight. I''m sure I''ll see them luring monsters with their scent... . At this point, I can''t even pray because it''s ridiculous. Isn''t it a combination of items I bought from a coin exchange? Something like an elixir that makes those guys lose their minds? Melena pointed to the jar in the middle of the aisle. I could see an unidentified purple liquid boiling. However, the important thing is the smell, not the color. The sweet scent pierced the tip of his nose. Maybe it only affects monsters. To be precise, only monsters with that pattern are affected. That''s effective, but it has certain weaknesses. The ''red pattern'' can be regarded as Shamanism that can maximize the potential of individual monsters. As well as combat power, it was able to remove a lot of fear, so it was often used by high-ranking Shamans, but there is no technique that has only advantages in the world. If you add ''Mayabi Bumblebee Honey 527mg'', ''Three-Eyed Skunk Pheromone'', and ''15 Peony Flowers'' and cook slowly over low heat, you can make something quite interesting. An elixir that weakens the power of the pattern and creates the illusion of walking in a fog. In addition, by implementing a ''Shadow Prison'' through a barrier, even the details are saved... . The monsters that come here are no different from flies flying to carnivorous plants. ''Of course, this method won''t work in their hometown, but at least it will be useful to get there.'' This is enough to do my job well. Melena, who had listened to Jinhyuk''s casual explanation, made another flagship. What the hell is your real identity? No, how the hell do you know such a method after everyone left? How do you know. I found out naturally after working hard on towers in the past. What nonsense is that! Me too [ I''ve played a lot of Tower of Trials, but I''ve never heard of a Treasured sword like this! ] I guess it''s because you''re only playing with newbies. It''s an area where you can get a sense of humor when you hang out with people who wear only panties and cut the necks of large monsters with carrots. Nu, who is a newb! I, too, have my own way in the Mine Association... Oh, I didn''t know the great Majin. Since I knew it, quickly fasten this leash to the necks of the monsters you caught. Jinhyuk threw several leashes at Melena. At first glance, it was a leash made of a clunky-looking chain. A collar? What else are you going to do with this? I will break through the trap. I''ve received applicants at most, but am I just making fun of them? Once you have something in your hand, it is wise to use it right away. It was when Melena, who had not yet understood what it meant, was tilting her head. Sir. I have completed everything you said. Wolyeong approached and politely submitted a report. At the thought of completing the given mission, Wolyeong''s face was quite vivid. Hmmmm. Yeah. Let''s see where I did it right. Jin-hyeok smirked a lot and followed Wol-young''s instructions. And after a while, where the three arrived, something glamorous and terrible had been completed. A splendidly splendid golden carriage with a length of about 2m. The black wheels made of brass and the pattern engraved with Heavenly Demon Protestantism exuded a tremendous sense of intimidation by itself. Indeed, the majesty of the main school is not diminished in the slightest. If this is enough, the Dark Emperor will be pleased. Your lord is satisfied, so it''s just a shame to belong. Then, let''s go soon. Jinhyuk got on the carriage. After all, it felt worthwhile to invest in expensive coins. First of all, the ride was not a joke, and the view was open because it was on a fairly high podium. The taste of the leather whip held in the hand with a fire dragon point... Yes. It was a taste of ''power''. ''That''s why everyone wants to go up high.'' chwaaak! The whip left a thin wound on the floor. OK. turn it off The spirit beasts of the 5 elements were sweating profusely and raised the feathers of the ''Giant Bird''. Hey, this is too heavy. Master. We have short limbs, so we can''t lift any of these... Save the spirit! I should have returned to the Spirit Realm back then... it must have been too late, right? Everyone is noisy. My head hurts, so please be quiet. It was in a maze without a handful of sunlight, but these details are important to match the assortment. After all, these feathers are essential for the king''s procession. thud! thud! thud! thud! Monsters connected to a long leash in front of the carriage began to march along the passage. shudder! When the trap was activated, a huge flame erupted. Whoops! Kee-e-e-e! One goblin in the lead turned into a lump of charcoal in an instant. This time, it''s a jinbeop using fire. The traps are really diverse. If I just went, I''d have a hard time waking up. Maybe it was because he had seen a lot of scenes like Hado, so now Wolyeong and Melena seemed to think the same. There is nothing wrong with the saying that humans are animals of adaptation. ''After all, this method is the best.'' Jinhyuk slowly swung his whip on the carriage. Use the enemy''s subordinates to break through the enemy''s designed trap. What could be a safer and more effective strategy than this? kwaaang! Another goblin died with a roar. It''s safe, but I think it''s going to take quite a while to do it this way? Anyway, I was trying to use the second card slowly. All the maps of the maze were already drawn in Jinhyuk''s head. It means that he memorizes the locations of major traps, as well as places where large-scale monsters can stay. As Jinhyuk nodded, this time he released the chains held by the members of the Black Wind Club. ???????????????????? Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Oooh! The ogres with wedge-shaped helmets on their heads started to run and scream at once. No direction is known Because of the trait of the helmet that covers their eyes, they don''t even know where they''re going. All they were allowed to do was run forward with all their might and slam the wall with their wedge-shaped helmet. That was the only mission. Aww! The wall collapsed, and a huge hole appeared in the passage. The ogre who slammed into the wall with such a shock was also stunned or killed, but my mission was accomplished. Voah! Is there a road? Jinhyuk spread his arms wide. In anticipation of cheers and applause. sure. " " " " The eyes of those who were watching were cold. It''s like looking at the Demon King who came out to play in the real world, those eyes. Even the gnomes and salamanders were strangling themselves and poking their eyes. uhm. Was it a little harsh? Hmmmm. Big! Everyone is risking their lives to climb the tower, but no doubt ''Monsters have rights'' Aren''t you trying to claim this? Who says what? I didn''t say anything. You''re swearing with your eyes. An employee to the boss. You didn''t, sir? Melena smiled brightly. The eyes are smiling, but the mouth is not. [Lv9 ''Eyes of Gluttony'' is activated.] [What the subject is saying is ''false''.] You''re swearing right It''s also very sticky. ''I have to do some image renewal.'' As a leader, you have to step forward in front of the unknown. Jinhyuk bought another item on the coin exchange. Unlike the ones I bought earlier, it was a cheap 200-coin pickaxe. Master. Are you going to go out on your own? But with that... Looking at the pickaxe that was about to break at any moment, Wolyeong quietly shook her head. If there is anything that needs to be cleared, let us do it. You don''t have to go out on your own. Even in the black wind party, he tried to tear Jin-hyuk down with a troubled face. Of course, it may seem frivolous at first glance. Even if you hit the wall with such an old pickaxe for a hundred blades, the ogre would have to hit it with all his might, and there would be no scratches. However. That''s what ordinary people think. ''I am different.'' He made a lot of impressions on the 9th floor bosses with various performances. Now it''s time to get those bastards off their heavy ass. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Jinhyuk expressed different skills in both hands. I grabbed the pickaxe''s blade through the ''giant''s grip''. And in the opposite hand, flames through the ''Element of Fire'' arose. kukukuku! As the pressure and heat met, the surface of the pickaxe began to glow dark red. ''It''s a little difficult to do it after a while.'' You have to control the exact heat and pressure, so it''s a skill that a player without advanced blacksmithing skills can''t even come up with. There are at most two players who can do this among the rotten dead people, right? Finally, the three-star ''amplification barrier'' maximized the expectations of all abilities. The whole maze trembled violently due to the enormous mana. How many minutes have passed? Finally, he captured the mana that Jinhyuk poured out. T-tiring! [You have made a ''Diamond Pickaxe''!] [Precise and amazing craftsmanship will be inducted into the ''Hall of Fame'' tomorrow!] [divinity ''Father of Iron and Fire'' admires your craft.] [Some of the divinity in the upper part shows interest.] If it is the father of iron and fire, he belongs to Olympus. For someone who hammers all day, it must be quite interesting. Even the residents of the middle class of raw meat don''t have the skills to make items in this way. ''It will be very eye-opening at the subtle harmony of science and skill.'' Jin-hyeok, who smiled bitterly, checked the finished pickaxe. [Diamond Pickaxe] Acquisition Difficulty: A Durability: 1,000/1,100 Attack power: 550 Description: An item specialized for mining, which can also be usefully used to break through walls in labyrinths and mazes. When mining, damage is increased by 20%, and when breaking through walls, damage is increased by 10%. The color of the pickaxe has changed. Even an outsider could feel that it was unusual on a day with emerald color. ''great.'' Jinhyuk lightly swung his pickaxe. Whoops! A pickaxe with gently drawn arcs dug into the wall. As if digging through clay, the pickaxe broke down a wall in an instant. Oh my gosh... I wonder if such a new recruit exists. A whistle came out of Melena and Wolyeong''s mouths. However, Jin-hyeok, who was the real party, scratched his head with a bewildered face. Ummm. I dug the wrong way. I don''t think it''s here. One of the key driving mechanisms of the maze was exposed. He just stopped coming into the secretly hidden room. "Come to think of it, it seems that the room over there probably had a system room to manage the types of traps " It wouldn''t be a bad idea to check it out. In that way, Jinhyuk destroyed the traps he could see and destroyed the road that had been in good condition, and the maze turned into a complete mess. Won''t you come out like this? even this way? do this? OK. kukuku bang! Suddenly all the traps stopped. At the same time, the walls began to rise at the same time. ''Playing is over here.'' Jinhyuk slowly looked at the shadows walking through the wall. maybe One of the agents sent by the boss monster will come. By the way. ...! The moment he saw the agent who appeared, an earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk''s pupils. shouldn''t be here. Because a completely unexpected person appeared. CH 184 . Union of Two Tiers (2) A small body of 1m. A petite tribe with a delicate-looking body. It was the low-level manager ''Karman'' whom I met at the ''Masked Ball''. I know that he was demoted after taking the Chinese side for nothing but being smashed by the senior manager Hasting. This guy is going to show up here. ''It''s fun.'' It was quite predictable what the situation was going to be. Since my career as a manager is blocked, I''d rather take this opportunity to join hands with the monsters on the 8th and 9th floors and get a share... Well, that would mean Nice to meet you. Player Unknown. Kaman spoke first. Hostility is an unfeeling tone. ''Hey, he saw me without a mask at the ballroom.'' If I had seen the bare face under the mask, it would have been magic, not a conversation, but at least not right now. Are you familiar with it? Huh, huh. Anyway, don''t you know the ranker that stands out the most among the players? Of course, I''ve been researching that much. I don''t know where to put my body when you say that. So, are you representing the monsters on the 9th floor? Do you want to meet me? That''s right. Hmmm. What should I say? Let''s just assume that the purpose of this case is not to get too messy, and to bring out the best results for each other. Sounds like the best result. Making subtle threats has not changed anything from the prom. But, does he know? before and now. The fact that it will always be you who gets smashed while playing clumsy Excellent grade quality. Stop chatting and tell me why you came here. If you came here as an agent, doesn''t that mean you have something to suggest? You don''t like editorials. All right. I have only one suggestion. Don''t make a fuss with your pickaxe anymore, just follow me. "Follow me quietly It''s a proposal that doesn''t appeal to me very much." Isn''t your purpose also to kill the boss in charge of the floor? Wherever I go, they are waiting. Above all. A sly smile crept across Kaman''s lips. At the same time. This is not a solicitation or request. Kaman snapped his index and thumb. Then a huge screen appeared in front of me. Aaaaaaah! aaah! Sa, save me! Please help... please, anyone! There was a scene where monsters were executed in various ways against humans. Players who have entered the maze so far have disappeared, and among them, Friedman and Lockheed Guild players who tried to get out of the maze a while ago were also seen. A lizardman wielding a sword against a naked man. Goblins were also seen throwing daggers at the woman tied to the pole and enjoying the game. In the amphitheater, a large number of people and monsters were released together and the one who survived the longest was matched. Blood and screams... And life and death are intertwined. Yes. That place was hell. you . Jinhyuk''s voice calmed down. Huh, huh. Don''t stare at him like you''re going to kill him too much, because he''s not in a low position to threaten humans. How dare you make fun of your lord''s tongue! I will pluck out the whole tongue! Wol-young spread a dreadful life and stepped forward. An insult to Jinhyeok is an insult to the dark hwang. I didn''t know what Kaman was, but I was planning to cut whatever it was with a single knife. wait. Ha, but lord! Wait. Even if you don''t come, I''ll pluck that guy''s tongue out myself. Jinhyuk took a step forward. With an aura that could not be compared to before, Wolyeong was startled and backed away. Melena also swallowed dry saliva and stepped back. I''ve known Jinhyuk for quite some time, but this is the first time I''ve seen him so angry. Jerrit! Jerrit! Jerrit! mana transmitted through the skin. Just being by your side makes me feel nauseated. Khahaha! This is bloody. Indeed, he seems to be one of the best candidates among humans. To be honest, it''s a little scary. Yeah. Keep killing yourself. Let''s see how long you can do that. Pants... ! When ''nails that cover the moon'' appeared, black nails made of Kanggi appeared on Jinhyuk''s hand. You think about it. If you attack me, you''ll need a lot more time to get there too. Of course, you''ll also lose your chance to save your people. At Kaman''s words, Jinhyuk''s hand stopped. If you don''t do what you''re told, the loser is determined. If you do aggression here, you will waste time going to the boss. What''s more, if it was discovered that the captives had been abandoned, the image would be indelibly damaged. Retirement ordeal. None of them work as they please. Jinhyuk clenched his teeth. at last. Okay. Let me follow you. It''s a wise decision. Kaman smiled as if he knew that. And at that very moment. Did you know what to say...? Jinhyuk immediately reached out and grabbed Kaman''s neck. kwaduk! The sound of something breaking was heard due to the immense power of a hungry ghost. Kaman also reflexively spread the shield, but that alone was not enough. Ke, Khehe! G, what now... Can''t you understand it in words? You would have told me to shut that mouth? Boo woo woo... ! Aww! Jinhyuk raised his hand high while holding the kaman, and then lowered it to the ground. The floor was smashed in one blow. Aww! A painful scream erupted from Kaman''s mouth. The pain that is unfamiliar to me, the pain I''ve never felt before. Kaman yelled for his throat to burst. It''s a natural thing. Who dares to touch the manager''s body? Returning the manager-only relics due to the fact that he was on probation was one of the reasons why the fight ended unilaterally. The most reason, of course, was because of negligence stemming from pride. Even if you do this... you... Even after doing this, I''ve been living well so far. You wouldn''t be in a position to worry about others, would you? Jinhyuk relentlessly repeated the action he had made a while ago. Kaman''s body felt like soaring into the sky, and then fell to the ground in an instant. Aww! Blood gushed out like fountains from his nose and mouth. Hey, stop it. Oh no! kwaaang! That cool! Whoops! bang! bang! kwaang! Turn it off... A limp body and trembling arms. There is no longer a manager who was strict and relaxed. There''s just one terrified mouse. But the horror did not end there. It''s only just getting started. [The unique ability ''Star Blessing'' is activated.] The energy of starlight permeated Kaman''s body. [The target''s wounds begin to heal at a slower rate.] [The understanding of unique abilities is somewhat low, so it is difficult to completely heal wounds.] The broken nose has returned to its place. The blood that had been ripped and dripped all over the place had subsided. Thinking about the moment when I was a complete ragtag, it was almost as if I had recovered. Hey, this is... Despair crept into Kaman''s eyes. The divine light that originally healed wounds could not have felt so cursed at this moment. Come on. Let''s start again. Come on, wait! I''ll tell you. I''ll tell you! Not yet. Considering what I didn''t say when given the chance, I''ll do at least one more cycle. If there''s something you want to say, say it right after it''s finished. Again, merciless violence followed. Aww! Ahhhhhhhhh! no mercy at all. It was a truly devastating beating. He gave me a bad first impression at the masked ballroom. In particular, killing players as a joke and using that as an excuse to threaten him is the worst move from Kahman''s point of view. puck! Whoops! After that hellish minute passed, Kahman was given a second chance. Now I didn''t even dare to make eye contact. Jinhyuk whispered into Kaman''s ear, who had completely curled his tail. Open the gate to them. Oh. By the way, you''d better think and answer seriously. If you say no or impossible, that''s going to be your last will. Note that this is not a joke. Even if it was bothersome, I was expecting a few places where a large army would gather. It just takes a little more time. I was able to find it somehow. "That if I say that. Will you save me no, will you spare me?" Fortunately, your life isn''t my greatest concern. So you can watch what you''re doing and keep it alive. Crab, the gate... I''ll open it. Right now. Kaman nodded frantically and immediately opened the gate. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo An administrator-only gate appeared with a dazzling brilliance. A familiar mana was felt beyond the trembling surface. It seems that there are still more living people than dead people. ''I must hurry.'' There is not much time left. Jinhyeok, who threw away Kaman, entered the gate. Escort the lord with all formations! Haha. I feel like I''m getting more and more twisted... Then Wolyeong and Melena followed. finally. Go, let''s go. Huh! You should listen to the master. The spirit beasts left their wagons and often moved on foot. When the darkened vision brightened, the scenery around him had completely changed. Ten World Cup stadiums are large enough to fit in. The number of monsters that filled it was so large that it was difficult to comprehend with the naked eye. ridge! ridge! ridge! ridge! A harsh sound of drums pierced the eardrums. it''s thick The strong bloody smell also stimulated the sense of smell. This is the depths of the maze. It is the place where the union of the two classes gathers. More, much dirtier... Melena made an expression of trembling in her teeth. Wolyeong''s expression hardened as well. There are quite a few. If you don''t secure it from the retreat, it may be difficult to escape when surrounded. Wolyoung. Jinhyuk quietly opened his mouth. Yes, sir. Who did I say I was? He is the chief disciple of the Dark Hwang, who is Kwon Cheon-ji-ryong, and the foundation stone for the revival of the Heavenly Demon Protestantism. "But, how do you think monsters can do anything to me?" ''only''. No matter how large the 20th floor, the Moorim, who can speak so lightly against such a large number of medium-sized monsters? Even the guys here are reinforced with red patterns, and are they even protected by boss monsters? Wolyoung. Jinhyuk opened his mouth again. Yes... yes! I''ll tell you first and last. It''s not my style to say this twice. No matter what the circumstances come. Be sure to trust me and follow me. Then we can all go out alive. "If it''s all are you talking about us too?" Yeah. I won''t let anyone die as long as I''m in front. Ever since I was born, I''ve been walking a long way. Something that can be used as a sword and thrown away at any time. That was the fate that Moorim''s memorization had to live. Of course, in such a crisis situation, it means that they are tasked with being used for the owner and dying for the owner. By the way. ''what. this person is.'' pounding! pounding! pounding! Wolyoung''s heart pounded a little. In a life that was cold and mechanically repeated. For the first time, one of the forgotten pylons moved. Answer? ...John''s name. All that remains is to follow. CH 185 . Memorizing in the Shadows, Moonyoung (1) [Loyalty increases by +20.] [Wolyeong, a resident of Moorim, shows little trust in you.] also. The deeper the wounds of the past, the simpler the way to heal them. ''The most important thing is to convince them that they will never throw it away.'' As I said now, only a part of that solid wall was skinned, but If you show trust in the future, he will also open the door to his tightly closed heart. ''If that happens, I will be able to use it anew as a memorization for me, not the Black Punghoe.'' There was not only one benefit gained by showing this image. Melena and the spirit beasts were also moved by the unexpected appearance, so she was making a pretty face. Is the owner really nice? Maybe it''s warm inside...? I heard it''s trendy among humans these days, so guess that. What does that mean? Cold butcher means a ranker who treats him well. The spirit beasts chattered. Hey, you can say nice things. Melena also let out a small exclamation. Looking at this, it seems that every little action, every word, is important. Because even a bad image could change 180 degrees in an instant. But there was no time to enjoy the applause of praise. You''re finally here. You damn human bastard. A low-pitched voice rang out. Beyond the wall surrounded by monsters, a throne made of human bones was visible. It was none other than the grouse, Atasha, who had a fishy smile. The half-human half-joo with the upper body of a woman and the lower body of a bird spread its pure white wings. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! It is unusual for mana carried in a raging gust. Indeed, the boss is the boss, right? ''invincibility'' Even if it wasn''t as much as a 10th-tier rock giant with skill, it had majesty as a boss monster in its own way. ''The other two are invisible.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. I was scanning every corner through mana, but I couldn''t feel the mana of other bosses. Is it somewhere else? If not... . '' Is it a trap?'' It''s most likely the latter. The fact that they brought it all the way to the home ground here means that they have a number of moves they have prepared for them. But they''re not the only ones who have a ready-made move. I had a Hidden Card prepared for this moment while I was purchasing materials to destroy the pattern at the ''Coin Exchange''. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. On the other hand, Atasha, who saw it, frowned. What makes a guy that walks in on his limbs giggle? Did he even turn his head out of fear? Jinhyeok''s strength was already seen enough through the battle with the ogres. However, it was only when the opponent was a few ogres that the strength was applied. The numerous monsters lined up here were not just a few. It means that they are elite 9th-tier elites who all boast one hundred per day. I''m sorry, it seems polite to put on a serious expression, but it''s not easy. I guess it''s because I''m not nervous. Ugh! There''s no kin to bring that cheeky human head! At Atasha''s cry, shouts resounded from the midst of the monster horde. The Black Rock clan Kangora is coming! An orc draped in the fur of a wild beast on its shoulders hurriedly pushed the monsters forward. An orc with a sharply trimmed glaive in his hand looked twice as large as an ordinary orc. "Aren''t you coming directly from the guys below?" I don''t need to go out against the four-legged ones. Besides, don''t look down on Kangora. The Black Rock clan is one of the strongest among the orcs on the 9th floor. He''s the strongest among the Orcs... . thud! thud! thud! Dust rose from the ground. The orc fighter, running wildly, quickly closed the distance. The glaive flew right at Jinhyuk''s neck. fast and accurate In the meantime, he even used paint that changed the trajectory of the sword twice. It was an elaborate swordsmanship that could not be imagined as an Orc''s. However. wow! The glaive, who seemed to be sprinting without hesitation, stopped tall in the air. Black nails began to gnaw at the glaive''s surface. So. you said It''s useless to see the younger ones, no matter how many. Come down directly. Quad Duck! The glaive collapsed, and even the hand of the orc that was holding it smashed together. Aaaaaah! The orc howled in agony. At a moment where it could be said that they were almost simultaneous. Jinhyuk''s opposite hand blew off the orc''s head. Push! Push Shun! Blood soaked the ground first. After that, the body of the orc, which had lost its head, lost its balance and fell. Ka, Kangora in one hit...? The best warriors of the Black Rock clan die without giving or receiving a single match. On a human subject... A huge commotion arose among the monsters with relatively high intelligence. Those with low intelligence instinctively felt threatened and exposed their molars. Whoops! Atasha also grinded her teeth. The trembling of its white wings must be evidence of anger. Isn''t there again? As if he could not comprehend this way, he asked for another challenger. Then, instead of one, five monsters came out. They were Lizardmen armed with spears and shields. trembling He tried to draw the sword from the side of the Black Wind. This is because there was no reason to insist on 1:1 on this side as well if the opponent was in the majority. Dirty bastards...! Are you going to push the water? Everyone, pull out your sword! By the way. Wolyeong blocked the members of the Black Winds that were about to go out. Why are you drying it? Didn''t the master tell you? trust me and follow me You haven''t told us to go see you yet. It means that alone is enough. If so, they just have to wait. until the order is issued. Five Lizardmen built a siege network around Jinhyeok. ''If you go like this, there is no end.'' If you deal with them one by one, fighting all day will not be enough. Again, I have no choice but to make myself feel that it is useless to deal with Eo Young Booyoung. Jinhyuk slowly pulled up mana. As the ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong'' bloomed, black mist began to boil all over the body. Those who belong to the Heavenly Demon Protestant Church may not know anything else, but one thing is certain. overwhelming nothing. The belief that the power to crush everything is the only rule that exists in this world. Pants! The tangible giga perfectly wrapped the hands and feet. Originally, if he used such strong magic, his mind could be polluted. Due to the copy of ''Jintae Cheonghwarang Simbeop'' from Yoo Chun-young and ''Blessing of the Stars'' copied from Teresa, I couldn''t help but fall for Simma. right then Lizardmen with perfect siege nets entered the attack. Human. Kill! I''ll make you yakitori! Whoops! A fire erupted from the edge of the window. ''Long tail'' fluent in Shamanism It''s a lack of ability. When they blocked the front with a shield engraved with runes there, the pass team was completed, with no gap in sight. By the way. Even in the precarious siege, Jinhyuk did not show any other reaction. He didn''t try to run away, he didn''t even try to find a weak spot. Rather, he waited patiently for his opponent to finish his preparations. ''If you break it clumsily, you''ll think you''ve lost because you''re careless or you didn''t do your best.'' so. when you do your best. When you feel that everything is perfect, you have to break it down. Jinhyuk lowered his center of gravity. ''It would be a good time to try it out.'' In the past, when I fought against the dark hum... There was one Mugong that I really liked, It was a kwonbeop called the Three Bodhisattvas (ȭ). The earth crumbles when you take one step. When you take two steps, the sky is silent. When he takes three steps, no one stands in front of him. This is Amhwang''s Secret Technique, which was created for that purpose. And in fact, the Three Bodhisattvas possessed power beyond imagination, as its name suggests. kukukuku! The stylized spirit finally stopped its momentum. At the same time. kuung! The first one (һ). Jinhyuk took a step forward. I just took one step forward. By the way. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A huge storm of mana swept the Lizardmen. The instantaneous gust of wind was not at a level that a living being could withstand. Kie-ee! Keeek! The bodies of the Lizardmen engulfed in black flames burned alive. A red oath pattern that strengthens the body. Even the shield I had no doubts about would reliably protect my body is useless. Wolyeong''s face, who was watching, was dyed with an indescribable light. ''After all, the master''s skills were real.'' Even just having a glimpse of the Mugong of the Dark Huang was so emotional that it was even more unbelievable that the person who reproduced the legend was the lord he was going to serve. That was then. kuung! With the sound of the ground digging deep. Jaybo (ڶ) was cast. The hot wind turned into a breeze. shoot ah ah ah... . A gentle breeze blew past. What, what? This? Atasha, who thought something bigger was coming, tilted her head. It was funny to see the whole body wrapped around its wings as if it had been withdrawn. Even the monsters who were raising their shields from afar eased the tension in the trivial attack. However, no one else knows I knew as much as Wolyoung. The fact that the silence before the typhoon scares me more than anything else. The winds condensed to the limit gathered in one place. Now is the start. The last step that will be the end of this Mugong. kuung! Third treasure ''The end''. The moment you take the third step. Jinhyuk''s fists disappeared like lightning. The wind stopped and then the sound disappeared. Atasha sensed something unusual and tried to part her lips. that you have to run away I was going to shout that I should avoid this place. But it was too late. Just like Moses parting the Red Sea, the ground began to crumble. kukuku kuk kuk kuk! The breeze became a gust of wind and crossed the middle of the monsters. Numbers meant nothing in front of a tornado that ripped everything apart. "Hey, is this reality?" Friedman''s captive voice trembled thinly. He was the one who had given up on life a while ago. A colleague who was right next to him died as a toy from monsters. Another colleague died while begging to live. died and died and died again. Dozens of people lost their lives by the time the bloody smell became so familiar. That''s why I didn''t even think about how to survive here. If there''s anything you want, just... It''s like wanting to stop breathing without even the slightest bit of pain? By the way. The moment you gave up everything. A strange thing happened. A group of people who appeared through the gate looked all too familiar. How can I not know? The black man who had already saved their lives once... The top ranker who leads them, ''Unknown''. Sah, I''m alive... We''re alive now! A cry of relief came from everywhere. Some were crying and crying. A ray of light in despair. that hope. Everyone didn''t want to miss it. ''I have to tell you.'' Friedman managed to activate a skill. Because ''personal broadcasting'' could not be activated due to the red barrier, it was completely cut off from the outside world, but there was still only one way left. The ability to transmit what is in sight to the outside. That ability that requested support from colleagues outside, but was ignored with a single blow. manifested once again. [Caster: Friedman] [Do you want to share this video?] this time. wishing to be different. CH 186 . Memorizing in the Shadows, Moonyoung (2) American Awakened Association. A pair of men and women sat facing each other in this place with a marble table and antique chairs. Hedges, a 180cm tall, blonde-haired man who is in charge of the emergency support team. Likewise, the woman with blonde hair hanging down to her waist was named Ashley. manager! Ashley raised her voice. The table shook, but Hedges didn''t budge. Like I said. No support. Why the hell? The Lockheed Guild players are trapped in the maze right now. Even the team leader knows! Of course, I know. However, Ashley must also know. The available guilds cannot handle monsters of that level of difficulty. There is too little information. Of course, the risk will increase as well. Then, if you would rather secure evidence through Friedman''s ability and request assistance from other countries based on that...! That''s why they say there''s no support. Hedges tilted the liquor bottle on the table. Yellow liquid poured over the ice. "Is that because ?" If this information is known, obviously. Other countries will also be on the alert. In fact, medium-sized guilds in Europe and India are preparing to attack, wouldn''t they be unable to enter the maze? no way . Even just saying that, Ashley could understand the meaning of Hedges''s words. A balance of power is essential in rivalry. When one side collapses, it is no longer a situation that can be called a rival. Are you intentionally letting other countries'' raids enter? So... to make them all die? Only that way can we offset the damage we''ve taken. That''s a crime. No, legal issues aside, how can humans... Let''s say it''s reasonable. These sacrifices are necessary for us to remain as a powerhouse. Hedges took a sip of the liquor. Contempt and anger appeared on Ashley''s face. I will report directly to the president of the association. If he is... If the president of the association is full of justice, of course he''ll apply for it. But he''s not here right now. Besides, the evidence will disappear with Friedman. Are you threatening? It''s a warning. " " Ashley bit her lip. It seemed that he was going to vomit at the disgust towards his opponent. "Come on let''s go." Yes. Don''t forget what I said. Ashley slammed the door and walked out of the office. He wanted to do anything, but as Hedges said, if Friedman couldn''t live there, his efforts would be in vain. There will be no evidence left. ''Even after breaking the order, I should have shared my view and let the world know.'' Of course, as of now, this is an assumption that has no meaning. This is because Friedman, who must have already died or depleted mana, never used the vision sharing skill again. But right then. uuung! [[''Share a view'' from Friedman] A request has been received.] Another call came from Friedman, who he thought was dead. ''Nonsense. You''re not dead yet in that situation?'' An electric car that was overwhelmingly disadvantageous. Of course, I thought there was no prospect... How? The moment he saw something in the video, an earthquake occurred in Ashley''s pupil. no doubt That unforgettable mask... overwhelming ability. There is only one person who can do this. The worries didn''t last long. [The live broadcast begins.] The video was broadcast all over the world. As always, viewers wandered around the community in search of new stimuli and rice cakes. For them like hungry hyenas, fresh, new footage has always been their best prey. By the way. A video has appeared that satisfies their needs. One live broadcast caught everyone''s attention. To be precise, it was a video of a maze that was sent out due to the skill of the player. -The Great Pork Belly: Live broadcast on the 8th floor? is this real? -one Grandma Bossam: Wasn''t there a live broadcast there? I heard that there are many areas that are not allowed due to what kind of barrier or what? - Hamtory with mochi rice cakes: ??. So, there were many cases where the video was turned on only at the entrance and cut off inside. Sae Young Eon Hwan: This is player skill. I guess it was because it had some unique effect. Yumi on the cat tower: Friedman? Are you a player you''ve never heard of? Speedwagon: The American Lockheed is a ranker of the medium and large-class guilds, and has close-range abilities. As an engineering captain, you have 3 dungeons and 1 labyrinth experience. It was more of a speed wagon. Howl''s Moving Backcountry: Huh? for a moment. Isn''t that Unknown? At someone''s words, the viewers'' attention was focused. Unknown. Although there was not much known information, the academic orthodoxy was that he was one of the world''s top rankers. The bulletin board quickly heated up due to the appearance of a rare prospect. In an instant, the number of viewers who connected to the live broadcast was more than three-digit, but it quickly became four-digit and broke through the five-digit number within 10 minutes. A few minutes later, when even a six-digit number was lightly skipped. Even the media and other media began to pay attention. LovePack: And it''s real. It''s a steamed Unknown! Howl''s Moving Backcountry: I thought so. can you see the movement? What kind of monsters explode every time you walk? Grandma one Bossam: Crazy. Is that what a human can do? Are you a monster? Returning God God: CG would be more believable hahahaha? I can''t help but admire Sae Young Eon Hwan: He is the only player that can compete with Kang Jin Hyuk. When the Three Bodhisattvas were manifested and the earth split, exclamations mixed with awe burst out one after another from everyone''s mouths. I had no choice but to do so. Because the Mugong I showed you now was at a level that far shattered common sense that I had known before. Furthermore. Knowing that it was the beginning and not the end, the anticipation for where this fight would end was rising very rapidly even at this moment. The ground has completely turned into a mop. Only the bizarre sculptures layered with vomit and corpses seemed to tell how powerful the attack had just been. dare ! Atasha let out an angry voice. He was able to save his life by protecting his body with his wings, but the splendid wings lost their beauty due to dust and blood. Of course, for Atasha, who was arrogant, it was inevitable that her self-esteem would be wrinkled. He could feel the anger he had never seen before on his reddened face. That''s why I told you. Don''t send out the lower ones, and go directly. The damage could have been reduced if we had acted immediately. Isn''t that why I only see a lot of blood for nothing? ''Well, thanks to this, I was able to draw a lot of experience and eat it.'' Thanks to swept up the monsters before, the level went up by one. The fact that there was only one level increase compared to the number means that the amount of experience required has increased. Seeing Jinhyeok nodding his head leisurely, Atasha''s reason was cut off. Damn it. Now the joke is over! Atasha spread her wings. At the same time, a yellow flash flashed from the tip of the wing. [Atasha activates Lv13 ''Thunderbolt Hit''!] Clouds hung over the ceiling of the maze. The dark clouds dyed black enough to be ominous. ''A grouse (B) is a grouse, this is it.'' Jinhyuk raised his head. No matter how stagnant it was, it was clear that the outside would be crispy and the inside would be moist. However, avoiding lightning is beyond common sense. I''ll make all of them out of charcoal! Atasha pointed her raised finger downwards. At the same time, dozens of lightning bolts fell. KwaKwaKwa Kwa Kwa Kwa! Aww! The lightning bolts headed exactly where Jinhyeok and Heukpunghoe were. No, I thought I was heading there. Until it is blocked by a wall of water and dirt. [Undine Gnomes activate ''Attribute Shield''!] A shield made with Undine and Gnome''s unique abilities completely wrapped around Jinhyuk. hmmm. ''It is worth using as it is.'' Like intermediate spirits, they are excellent at handling elements. Until now, it was useless and I forgot to eat it, Still, these guys. They were the gatekeepers of the 25th floor labyrinth. When five people gather, it means that they have the skills to fight against the boss of one floor, the Grouse. Why on earth do the spirit beasts take sides with humans! It''s really frustrating and crazy! "It''s frustrating for us too, but there''s nothing we can do about it." Yeah. I stuck my nose tight. Undine and the gnome let out a small sigh. "You will regret choosing the wrong side." You''re going to regret it. We already regret it. "A little yes. Yes. Actually, a lot." They say they are regretting it too, and further conversations are meaningless. All that''s left is to destroy it with all your might. "Sweep them all away." At Atasha''s command, the waiting monsters moved in unison. thud! thud! thud! thud! Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Oooh! Hundreds of orcs and the ogres deployed in the interim screamed. The flying Iksuwa (F) and the arthropod monsters that inhabit the ground also moved together. Each individual may be weak, but when various types work synergistically, it is a combination that cannot be ignored. Wolyoung! Jinhyuk shouted. Jon name! Wolyeong and Heukpunghoe, who had been waiting as if they had waited, moved. fault! taat! The shadows lightly slam the ground and disappear. The inhabitants of Moorim, armed with swords and daggers, dug into the monsters. So, the two forces collided head-on. Scratch! It was Wolyeong''s sword that signaled the start. The sword that developed the sword slashed the heads of the three orcs running in a row with one sword. A sword attack like a storm followed immediately. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The strongest power that can cut through anything it touches. ''Sword River (ǿ)''. It was as if there was no armor for the Orcs in front of such a sword. sure. Kaaaah! If the opponent also possesses enough power, the story is different. Big! A warrior class orc intervened. A mere monster... Do you think race is important to wrestling, or humans? A fire broke out between the two. As the rest of the Black Wind Hoe also faced the orcs of the warrior class, the sprint stopped for a while. [Undine activates ''Aqua Blast''!] [Gnomes activate ''Land Piece''!] [The Salamander activates ''Fire Storm''!] kwaaang! Whoops! The spirit beasts of the five elements also fired their skills, and dozens of drowning beasts were dropped from the sky. With the addition of sweet potatoes from the subspace inventory, the melee further accelerated. mosquito! [Sweet Potato activates Lv4 ''Acid Breath''!] Hundreds of monsters melted in an instant due to the small breath. Chi profit! Vision obscured by flames and smoke. When trying to press down by taking advantage of the advantage of the number of monsters, Jinhyuk and the rest filled the gap by maximizing their individual traits. However. The equilibrium, which was expected to last for a long time, has shifted surprisingly quickly. Ugh! Lord! Urgent screams erupted from Melena and Wolyeong''s mouths. Jinhyuk also realized the strange thing. This ? quick and. sharp. A new variable intervened at a timing that no one expected. CH 187 String of Faith (1) thud! thud! thud! thud! with the sound of tense footsteps. Two boss monsters that had never been seen before appeared from the side. A medium-sized monster with a size of about 3m that covered its whole body with red scales is the ''Lizard King'' who leads the Lizardmen. And next to him was a wolf ''Black Fang'' with a black mane and three eyes. Both are beast-type beasts, and ''Lizard King'' is a boss specialized in melee attacks based on its huge size, while ''Black Fang'' emphasizes speed and was a good boss in group warfare. They each have their own strengths, meaning that they are not easy to deal with. ''The rest of the bosses were hiding for this time.'' The more tense the war situation, the more each variable plays a role. However, with such a large variable, the war situation itself could be overturned. Lord! Wol-young hurriedly approached Jin-hyuk. He must have sensed that it was dangerous. The two bosses were each leading about 30 people, and although the number was small, the strength of each individual was not unusual at a glance. All named. It was also the elite of the elite, which consisted only of those who were strengthened through the ''Red Oath Pattern''. Jinhyuk slightly bit his lip, looking at the weapons in the hands of Lizard King and Black Fang. The two relics are also known types. ''The Bones of the Burned Colossus.'' ''A branch soaked in pure blood.'' I can see why they''ve been sulking up until now. It was just waiting for those relics to be completed. [You can destroy the target''s weapon by attacking the same location 10 times with ''Burned Colossus Bones''.] [The wounds inflicted on the ''twig soaked in pure blood'' are not healed and cause permanent damage to the body. (There is secondary damage such as scars, numbness, decreased function, etc.)] [However, two relics can only be used once.] Although it is a one-time item, it is two holy relics with very difficult abilities. Although each individual''s combat ability is already excellent, if there are annoying relics, the difficulty is bound to increase several times. ''It was the guys who took the time.'' indeed . It''s different from monsters that do what their instinct tells them to do, even if it''s different Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. Even at this moment, you can see monsters approaching at high speed. come. It''s also very fast. Two races simultaneously leaped toward Jinhyeok. Protect your lord! Wol-young led the black wind party, and spread a wide square around Jin-hyeok. About thirty members of the Black Wind Club moved as if they were measured with a ruler. Kakakan! Kaang! The swords were drawn dizzyingly. A speed that is hard to follow with the eye. All I can see are thousands of fireworks blooming in the air. However, even if he tried to maintain the ranks with all his might, he could not overcome the inferiority of his power. It''s a natural thing. It was because he was dealing with a new enemy who was in the best condition with his internal air exhausted from fighting in the first place. There. [Black Top Lv14 ''Hunter''s Night'' activates!] Like when a wolf attacks its prey. There was no warning in the gait that did not feel any weight. fault! It was hard to imagine the speed of a beast with a size of close to 3m to move as if it was passing by the ground. fast. I can''t even think of how to respond. Puppupuck! blood splashing out A member of the Black Wind Club, with a wound on the nape of his neck, fell to his knees. Big! In the midst of that, he was able to avoid a fatal blow thanks to the results of his training to the limit. Of course, it was impossible to win against a monster that couldn''t even react. At least among the members of the Black Wind, none of them could deal with the boss alone. Only one. I will deal with him. Except for Wolyeong, who leads them. Pants! A cold light rose from the tip of the sword. Out of all the melee attacks, the drama is rated as the best. It is a ''sword steel'' that is praised as the strongest cutting power. Kae-gaeng! Kaeaeeng! Wolyeong cut down two black maned wolves at once. Even thick leather and fur did not help as much as this time. Due to the haze of blood, my vision was dyed red. come. The tip of the sword pointed towards Black Fang. As if to warn that the opponent is only you. Dare my children! The furious Black Fang roared wildly. The Black Top, who disappeared using Flash Step, caught Wolyeong''s back in an instant. It was the very technology that ruled the 9th floor and cut off the breath of many rivals until now. By the way. damn it! There was no sound of piercing flesh and breaking bones. Instead, the sound of teeth clashing resounded with a poisonous and loud sound. it will fail To bite the nape of the opponent''s neck with one blow. ...you boy! Black Top opened his eyes. I thought I was aiming for the perfect timing, but I''m sure I''ll get out without a single wound. right then A hoarse voice came from under Black Fang''s chin. You''re not the only one who''s confident about speed. [Wolyoung''s unique ability ''Shadow Slayer (Ӱؽ)'' is expressed.] Movement through the shadows. If Black Fang''s Flash Step is a connection between lines. Wolyoung''s unique ability, ''Shadow Kill'', skips dots and dots. Puffy! Along with the blood vessels, there was a cut on Black Fang''s face. bubbly The figure of Wolyeong seeped into the shadows once again. At the same time, Black Fang also took the place. Kakakan! kwaaang! The black afterimages moved dizzyingly, exposing their molars to pierce each other''s hearts. ''The Black Fang side... It''s probably about the same as Wolyeong and Hogak. the problem is . The point is that it is difficult to face Atasha and the Lizard King with only the spirits and sweet potatoes. Jinhyuk''s hand trembled. Stepping out here will give you the timing to use the two relics. That''s exactly what they''re after. ''If I can''t stand it and run away, I''ll make a surprise attack with my men as a shield right away.'' As long as I knew what the plan was, I had no intention of playing as intended. However, I had no intention of falling apart like this. [Subspace inventory is activated.] Jinhyuk took out the items he purchased from the coin exchange. ''Proof of belief''. ''December laurel leaves''. ''Three Red Jewels of Akrandma''. I bought all the coins I had, but I have no regrets. From now on, these will be more valuable than that. [Combines 3 items.] [Time remaining until completion: 00h:02m:59s] The required time is 3 minutes. if so . Melena! Jinhyuk called out to Melena, who was wielding a whip frantically next to him. Ha ha ha ha ha ha... Are you tired of struggling to live? Instead of answering, Melena let out a rough breath. Seeing his face turned white, it seemed as if he had used up all the oxygen in his blood. I know you''re struggling, but work hard for 3 more minutes. I need to play with that chicken, so please deal with the Lizard King in the meantime. It takes just that much time until the item is finished. What Yeongwol can take over is the limit of Black Top. However, his compatibility was not good enough to take on the Lizard King with only the spirit beast. In other words, you need some extra support from someone. And there was only one person here who could take on that role. Three minutes... that''s too long. Melena screamed in pain. You''re on the verge of collapse right now, but you can hold on for three more minutes. It was no different from saying that he would risk his life. Of course, such a reaction was also expected by Jinhyuk. Jinhyuk scratched his chin skillfully. "There''s a swordsman among our temples, but he has endured that much. Maybe, isn''t that the Mine Association, a group of giants from the behind-the-scenes who have gone through everything before and after? a. no way. Even so, the ''real'' ones who were pursued by the black trade, the CIA, and Interpol. At best, you want to be beaten by a medical student who hears a little bit of chirping? The sweetest smile in the world is a bonus. Melena''s face contorted badly. It''s probably because he stabbed the most sensitive part. It''s funny that the mafia is weaker than the average person. I''ll tell you why I''m called the ''black cobra'' of Vladivostok. In the end, Melena grabbed the whip and gathered all the last remaining mana. Whoops! Flames erupted from the whip, and the moisture around Melena began to dry rapidly. A black cobra in the extremely cold polar regions... . There was a question as to what kind of crazy person''s head came out of such a code name, but Jinhyuk didn''t bother pointing out that part. It was because the president was also responsible for cheering for the enthusiastic employees. Even if there is a rainbow cobra, I am thinking of acknowledging it fiercely as long as the performance is clear. not cancer. Then, trust me. Let''s go too. mosquito! The sweet potato spread its wings vigorously. [Sweet Potato activates Lv2 ''Flight''!] Even the sweet potato, who had been toggling, spread its wings completely, so there was enough space for one person to climb. Courageous... Even if not so far, this would be enough for an air-to-ground attack. Jin-hyeok, who wore a mask, got on the back of the sweet potato. Then, holding on to the wingtips, he took a firm stance. For a moment, I felt like my body was shaking up and down. Boo woo woo! Sweet potatoes soared into the air. ''Unbelievable .'' Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva. I''ve been proud to say I''ve ridden a lot of vehicles so far, but this was the first time I''ve ever flown so softly and gracefully. ''Even though it''s not yet an adult.'' The feeling of looking down at everything from the sky was incomparable to anything else. Yes. I chose the flying type ancient bell for this taste. Get as close to the grouse as you can. mosquito! The sweet potato blinked amber eyes as if not to worry. As we dug into the enemy camp in earnest, the opponent appeared as if we had been waiting. Kie-ee! Sweet Eek! They are medium-sized subspecies that are twice as large as sweet potatoes. Its sharp teeth and long beak were reminiscent of dinosaurs from the Cretaceous period. ''Five... .'' I mean, only five. eating. A smirk escaped from Jinhyuk''s mouth. I still can''t figure out the subject. Jinhyeok breathed mana into the ''molars'' taken out of the subspace inventory. Instead of arrows, a stream of red light filled the protest. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo mana compressed to the limit. A dazzling brilliance was overlaid on the red arrow twisted like a pretzel. If it were this, it could look similar to the breath of sweet potatoes. There is no need to worry about the gazes of Friedman and Wolyeong, who share the view from below. freely. That means you can use the best ranged skills you have. Take it somewhere. Literally a grouse. I''ll make you a whole chicken. And at a moment where it could be said that it was almost the same time. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The compressed mana was released at once. CH 188 . String of Faith (2) [[''Daylight''] ''Red Magic Bomb (ɫħ)'' is activated!] The first flashing was a red line. A thin, but straight red line. Mana, who crossed the drownings, soon reached Atasha. ...? Atasagya, feeling the change, raised her head. And at that very moment. A gigantic flash of light connected them. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The bodies of the drowning people evaporated as they were. Perhaps that wasn''t enough, so he blew it all the way to where Atasha was. The ground has changed as if a bomb had been dropped. A huge crater appeared in the middle of the battlefield. Chi profit! There was a mixture of rising heat and smoky smoke. Jinhyuk silently watched the scene from the sky. I got rid of it... umm. I shouldn''t have used this word. Mosquito! Mosquito...! I''m watching too. Anyway, the bosses are filthy strong. It was a blow that instantly killed hundreds of orcs and goblins, but Atasha did not die even after being hit by the attack. Of course, seeing the scorched feathers and red, bloodshot eyes makes it seem like it''s really heated. He was in a state right before he became Pride, so of course, the ties of reason were on the verge of breaking. I... I! I''ll stick it on a branch and eat it alive! Dozens of lightning strikes around Atasha''s wings. The sparks shining so bright that it made my eyes ache, were loaded with mana that was so great that I couldn''t ignore it. [Atasha activates Lv15 ''Lightning Strike''!] It goes without saying, but none of them should be right. If you really don''t want to become a roasted sweet potato, you should avoid it. Okay? Jinhyuk whispered softly into the ear of the sweet potato. At the same time, thunderstorms began to pour from the ceiling. kwaang! kwaaang! Mo, Mogiii! The sweet potato sprinted across the falling lightning. Whoops! Because he adhered to the wrong rhythm, Atasha''s thunderstorm ate only the ground he loved every time. However, Atasha was not impatient in the slightest despite the continued fuss. '' I can drag the time like this.'' A fishy smile hung on the corners of Atasha''s lips. When I first saw the power of Jinhyuk and the rest of his followers, I was quite embarrassed. A human being with only a very small amount of mana, even as a player. No matter how much they fly and crawl, they are creatures that cannot be compared with those who are at the top of a class. However, that common sense was completely shattered. by only one human. ''It was really hard to come up with an appropriate countermeasure.'' In addition to preparing the relic, the rest of the bosses were hidden separately to outwit the opponent. Considering the hard work it took to convince the boss of the proud Lizardman and Black Fang, it was certainly not easy to come through. still. All that suffering is over. He still couldn''t deal with that loach-like human, but just by keeping his feet tied up like this, the battle situation was overwhelmingly advantageous to this side. The troops brought from the 9th floor were still overflowing. Aren''t the 8th tier traps completely blocking the players'' additional support? There, humans and spirit beasts here are also noticeably dropping mana... . Victory or defeat in this battle has been decided. ''If you deal with that man, he will be satisfied.'' The corners of Atasha''s lips twitched at the thought of receiving a lot of praise. Soon after, I wondered if the dust protection spread by the Black Punghoe was getting thinner, and then I could see it collapse. The gap, where there was nowhere for a needle to go, grew wider and wider. It was really soon. There is only one step left. But at that very moment. The blood disappeared from Atya''s face. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart started beating irregularly. At the same time, cold sweat ran down his body. His gaze turned to the woman who was caught. To be precise, towards the blue jewel that the woman with the red hair was guarding. ''this This mana reaction?'' A sense of heterogeneity is felt. no doubt right then [All three minutes have elapsed.] [The special item ''The String of Beliefs'' has been completed.] [The string that connects the beliefs] Acquisition Difficulty: A Execution condition: A special gate that connects only when both conditions are met, and the ''call'' of the subject using the string that connects the beliefs and the ''response'' of the person beyond it must occur. However, this item can only be used against non-kin. [''Mirror that breaks down boundaries'' is activated.] Items prepared at the coin exchange reacted with a ''mirror that breaks down boundaries''. As an indescribable light erupted, there was a gap in the fierce battle for an instant. Atasha, who was throwing lightning. The Lizard King, who showed off his insane strength. The Black Fang, who enjoyed hunting at high speed, stopped as if frozen on the spot. [The floor is connected.] A green gate about 10 m in size was opened. As long as this side has called, all you have to do now is wait for the other person to respond. "Calling reinforcements ?" I brought a lot of you too, wouldn''t it be fair to bring some too? Don''t be ridiculous! What kind of idiot is here to help you! Atasha put a strap around her neck. She also knew about this item. The ''string that connects beliefs'' is a special item that can summon troops from other floors. However, they were the only ones who could use this item properly. It was because there was a huge restriction that could only bring in support from other races other than the same people. It''s a natural thing. Who is going to shed blood for humans? Even until it comes to this place. Obviously, there won''t be anyone who responds from beyond that gate. ''Not to mention the extremely individualistic spirit beasts. That young ancient species is not even worth mentioning.'' Therefore, this item will not create any meaningful variables. However, Jinhyuk was sure. If it was him, he would surely answer this call. jerk. It was then that the sound of footsteps rang out. The dreadful silence is broken. What appeared from the trembling surface . With the warriors of the ''Frostblade Tribe''. Their great hero and the greatest leader in the history of the troll race was ''Caracal''. also you came Jinhyuk briefly nodded towards Caracal. human. Caracal also bowed his head toward Jinhyuk. The fate of the clan saved by Jin-hyeok at Damsu Lake. to repay that favor. Caracal answered Jinhyuk''s call. [''The String of Beliefs'' is activated.] [The 7th tier warriors manifest.] The red flag symbolizing the ''frost blade'' flew. Oh oh oh oh! Aww! A huge number of troops began to appear from the gate. All were elites armed with heavy armor. Kalam. Struggle, prepare to charge. From now on, I will completely annihilate the enemy. I see. Chief. "Do it right away." Boo woo woo! The horn sounded like thunder. Light cavalry riding on white wolves took the lead. Then the spearmen armed with heavy armor followed. like that. The blue wave shook the game of the battlefield. Atasha had no choice but to panic at the unexpected situation. Stop it! The ranks must not collapse! Atasha yelled for her throat to burst. A scream close to a scream. But no matter how much I shouted, it was already too late. Since the power was concentrated in the front to deal with Jinhyeok, Heukpunghoe and the spirit beasts, the flanks were almost defenseless. That mistake had catastrophic consequences. puff puff puff! kwaaang! An advance team of trolls digging into a wedge shape ravaged a place made up of orcs and goblins. Kieek! Kuweek! arms and legs flying The shriveled body bounced off. Heavily armed trolls hit his side, so of course the damage was huge. However, the second attack continued before he even regained consciousness from the shock. With the sound of breaking the wind, the warriors of the Frostblade clan threw their spears. Puppupuck! Whoops! The target was towards the ogre. A surprise attack aimed precisely at the seam of the armor. Keek... Ouch! Gagging! As the ogres, who were the best support, fell, the rest began to collapse in an instant. The Lizard King tried to restore the line somehow, but it was almost impossible to restore the place once it was destroyed. Especially if Caracal is directly leading the troops. Aww! Even the giant Lizard King couldn''t take Caracal''s spear, so he hesitated and backed away. You... why did the trolls join hands with humans! Humans have called us. We need no more reason to fight. Caracal drew a line saying that conversation was not necessary. Besides, Black Fang was still playing tag with Wolyoung, so he didn''t even think about joining the battle. In a situation that has been completely turned upside down. Hey, this can''t be... that''s absurd... Atasha is in despair. I like it a lot too. It''s not just one-on-one, but also calling in a bunch of friends to fight. Jin-hyuk''s face was contrasted. Now the time has come to close it. Once you have this level of skill, it''s time to maximize your criminal record through hunting. And. In order for everyone to comfortably hunt, it was necessary to arrange some cumbersome bosses by hand. You can rest now. Jinhyeok put the molars in the subspace inventory and then gently patted the sweet potato on the back. And immediately jumped to the ground. Tuk! Jin-hyeok, who landed lightly, once again expressed ''nails that cover the moon''. Both hands were covered with dark red fingernails, and a vicious aura slowly rose. Was it because it felt provocative? Atasha clenched her fists, crushing them. "Do you think you can win if you compete one-on-one with me? Dare me to rule the lightning!" Electrostatics are pretty scary, but have you never thought about losing? Don''t talk nonsense. How dare you, how much do you know about my abilities! The 9th floor is lined with numerous monsters. One of the bosses who leveled them was himself. It means that a human baboon that has only crawled outside the tower is not something that can be sarcastic. However. There was something that even Atasha didn''t know. The fact that the man in front of you right now is a completely different entity from the extent of only ruling the 9th floor. You mustn''t shout out loud on this street for a subject that has specialized abilities at range. No matter how powerful a cannon may be, it is of no use to the infantry who approaches. There is such a thing as compatibility aside from simply power. Pot! Jinhyeok, who expressed ''Sword Demon King''s Bo'', approached Atasha''s nose in an instant. ! Atasagya immediately fired an electric shock. However, it was not Jinhyeok who would be attacked by a straight-line trajectory. It''s pretty fast. It''s pointless to talk about how fast lightning is a trait. The problem is that the part where your lightning is focused matches the direction of the attack. Where will the attack come from? If only I could read that direction in advance... . It''s not that hard to just avoid it. ''At least if it''s me.'' Tuk... . Jinhyuk''s fist, which had dug into his arms, touched Atasha''s abdomen. ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong (ħʹ)'' Oh, no! Atasha let out a sharp scream at the unusual energy. The heavy and dark flesh felt in the ship seemed to foretell what was going to happen soon. And . The aura of silence rotated counterclockwise. ''Mukryun Changpa (ī݆)'' Okay. CH 189 . How to make a double job change (1) When the field () method reaches its extreme, it forms a form, which is called ''Changpa ()''. A magenta sword that stretched out of the palm of your hand. Atasha, who had a hole in her stomach, looked at Wound and Jinhyuk alternately with a face that still couldn''t believe it. I couldn''t even imagine the timing to put on the best armor, ''Thunder Armor'', because I couldn''t have imagined that I would have such an absurdly powerful melee skill. But I didn''t feel sad. what if Even if they had poured everything into them, they would not have been able to overcome this monster. "Hey he was a different person from me " Blood gushed out from inside. She knew better than anyone that she was already in poor condition. In addition, the war that had been overturned by the lack of Caracal and Frostblade was already on the verge of uncontrollable catastrophe. With the Lizard King whose neck fell at Caracal''s hand. Black Fang has run away with his tail bent due to the joint effort between Heukpunghoe and Wolyeong, who have now regained their leisure. There was no way to turn the situation around anymore. But. nevertheless... . Atasha laughed. smiled so coldly "Well but one thing I''ve confirmed." With a face completely drained of blood. exhaled one last breath. What do you mean? "Yeah on the level that he couldn''t even reach his toes " at the end of that word. Atasha''s body collapsed. At the same time. creepy The air changed rapidly. [Level has risen.] [Level has risen.] [Level is .] There was a message that the level had risen one after another, but there was no time to worry about that. A terrible life took over the interior. It''s almost suffocating in the ghastly aura. ''no way .'' Jinhyuk raised his head. A new shadow appeared in the air where there had been nothing until a while ago. In the black-distorted space, a being he had never seen before was contemplating below. The black haired man with odd eyes exuded an overwhelming presence just by revealing himself. Jerrit! Jerrit! Jerrit! Mana stabbing the skin is not familiar and it stings. this feeling. this feeling. Know. No, how could you not know? ''Demon Clan'', which is regarded as one of the peaks of the tower. " " With arrogant eyes, the Demon Clan looked at the dead Atasha''s body and the invaders alternately. Rumble! Even the ice trolls of the Frostblade clan, as well as the members of the Black Winds, who were known to carry out their duties under any circumstances, dared not make eye contact with him. This... such an unbelievable energy... "Lord you!" Only Wolyoung and Caracal can hold out. Even sweet potatoes and spirit beasts could not withstand the pressure and were reverse summoned to the subspace inventory. overwhelming It''s not like I''m being told that I''m close to the divinity''s location for nothing. However, the reason Jinhyuk frowned was not simply because he appeared here. ''Are you going to break the contract? .'' before this happened. To be precise, before entering the maze, Jinhyuk signed a contract with Rick. [player Jinhyuk Kang hands over the ''information'' they want to middle manager Rick Hennessy. Instead, Rick Hennessy is responsible for editing and a 10-minute delay for player Friedman''s live broadcast, which must remove all connections between Kang Jin-hyuk and Unknown. Every connection point here includes manipulating the memory of all players here, including Friedman.] [In addition, the intervention of the ''top power'' on this floor is prohibited.] The suspicious sense of incongruity that Melena of the Mine Association felt when she came here. Jinhyuk instinctively realized that the identity of the sense of incongruity was related to the Demon King and other Demon Clans. Because their mission on earth is to resurrect them. So I signed a contract with Rick to prevent this from happening. However. The contract has become a broken glass. One of the Demon Clans manifested right before my eyes. Jinhyuk bit his molars. damn it It''s not a pleasant experience to have a hole in something you thought you were perfectly prepared for. Even more so when the chance of survival is infinitely close to zero. Tuk! Demon Clan from the sky landed on the ground. Hmm... Eyes of different colors turned to Caracal. A short time of less than 1 second. No... This time, he turned to Wolyeong. "Not even this guy." And lastly . His gaze stopped at Jinhyuk. Eyes with the power to see through everything. ...it''s you. You killed all our children. The voice had not been heard before. back To be precise, a voice could be heard whispering through the nape of his neck. ...! Jinhyuk, who reacted half a beat late, widened the distance. He quickly took a stance, but the opponent had already disappeared like smoke from his sight. Puffy! A black bullet that flew towards the bridge. Jinhyuk avoided a sphere the size of a thumb by a single sheet of paper. He immediately stretched out his fist, but this time there was no sensation in his hand. ''fast.'' To be honest, I didn''t expect to experience the loss of a foothold. In the past, the level and stats were so high, even if they were divinities, they were able to detect the presence sufficiently. But now that it has become a reality, everything has been reset. Although it is growing faster and more perfect than in the past, it means that it is still far from being able to face the Demon Clan head-on. so that. because the situation was unfavorable. ''It''s fun.'' Jinhyuk was so excited that this situation was unbearable. After all, being able to constantly meet strong guys is the reason why the Tower of Trials is so attractive. Yes. It has to be enough so it''s not boring. Huh? Demon Clan raised his eyes as if he couldn''t understand. It''s a natural thing. He is a member of the Demon clan that all living things fear. It is normal to have to despair in fear, like the trolls and humans who lie flat on the floor and tremble. By the way. Why? I couldn''t find such a feeling in the human in front of me right now. rather . ''I''m smiling.'' having fun this situation now. And that I met myself I was genuinely enjoying it. You''re not very nervous. I''m sorry, but I''ve met people who are more annoying than you a few times. The blood sucking mosquito was sent to the first floor, so he wasn''t here right now, but he was one of the ten absolutes in the tower. The Egyptian animal farm friends I met in the desert were also divinities at least a few levels higher than the Demon Clan. And The ''them guys'' on the 50th floor of the tower were completely different beings. ''I survived against all that.'' and surpassed them. By the way, if you''re scared of just one Demon Clan, that''s a contradiction. No matter how many times stronger than himself in the current situation. Hmm. Do you know who I am? Sure. Jinhyuk shrugged. You have already grasped information about your opponent through ''Eyes of Gluttony''. [The target''s level is too high, so only part of the information can be read.] [[Macedros -] ''Death Eater''] Race: Demon Clan Rank: 26th Full sequence: ?? age: ??? level: ??? strength ??? Agility ??? health ??? man ??? Unique Ability: First Magic skill: ??? Detailed Description: Macedros, a member of the demon world, is a noble with the title of ''Count''. It is ranked 26th in the demon world and can use very high level of magic. Also, the current demon world is in a state of war on the pretext of competition for rank, and if you use that point, you can design this situation to your advantage.] Even if it wasn''t ''Eyes of Gluttony'', all the beings of the tower were memorizing them all. If you have eyes, you can get additional information that can help in a number of ways. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. It''s war... . ''This is also a little more timed.'' Probably because of the timing of the tower''s attack or other variables. But, it doesn''t matter. No matter what happens, there is a law that suits you. Jinhyuk calmly rearranged the information given in his head. The reason and purpose of the Mine Association and the existence of Melena . The Demon King ''Corrupting Heart'' he met on the 5th floor and the 2nd job ''Black Apostle'' he proposed. Create the strongest variable by combining your hand with the cards you can use. The number of cases was countless, but it didn''t take long to organize my thoughts. Jinhyuk slowly opened his mouth. I know why you''re here. But I have a more interesting offer. It''s ridiculous. Still, I had high expectations because I had quite a bit of talent, but in the end, what I''m trying to say is that you''re begging for your life with an ineffective offer? "Aren''t you making too hasty judgments without even listening? No, there is no such thing. It would be a waste of time for me to make a promise that you guys can make. seems to have lost interest. The white fingers again reached Jinhyuk''s heart. Pants! Black sparks rose from his fingertips. This is the black magic I used a while ago. However, this time, he was casting more than 10 magic spells at the same time to be unavoidable. But. Well, I think it''s wise to listen to even the smallest human beings in a situation where you''re being pushed for rank... Jinhyuk''s next words. you. Macedros''s fingers stiffened. For the first time, the bewildered face was transmitted without filtration. About the demon world...how do you know. Confess everything. Right now! If you''re concerned about information leakage, don''t worry because it''s not on your side. Isn''t that the most important thing right now? This rotten bastard... it''s not you who judges your priorities! Stop talking nonsense and answer questions only. If you don''t want to experience what it''s like to burn alive! A voice filled with anger resounded. Whoops! The small spheres were rearranged in an instant. Five five-pointed stars appeared behind Macedros'' back, and an ominous black flame burned from each magic circle. Hellfire... It was similar to Demon Clan''s unique black magic. In terms of circles, it is 9 circles. It is one of the strongest attack magics in the flame system that can evaporate even rocks. Of course, there is nothing that can stop this magic unless it is a shield or relic of the 10th circle. Even if Kang Gi was able to endure it, his body would burn to the extent that he faced it with a sword. ''Indeed, it''s the top Demon Clan except for the 10 Demon Kings. It''s not that I went up to 26th place for nothing.'' But. Jinhyuk was not afraid even when he was faced with that formidable fear. He wasn''t agitated or upset. Macedros. In a calm, unshakable voice. I know all the locations of the ''Holy Relic'' that can unlock the Demon King''s seal. You mentioned what your partner wanted the most. OK. ...! [[Macedros is Lv??] Activate ''image world ()''!] Time in the world has stopped. CH 190 . How to make a double job change for a deceased person (2) Not only time, but space itself seemed to have been cut out of causation. A clock dyed in achromatic colors. There, Macedros, whose smile had completely disappeared, looked at Jinhyuk. "I guess I don''t think I''m just that kind of person." So I told you. Listen and decide. Jinhyuk shrugged. I''ll ask you first. How do you know my name? ''Corrupting Heart'' is the name of the Demon King I serve. If this is the case, all your questions will be answered at once. As a familiar tinnitus popped out, Macedros''s forehead twitched. there''s no way you don''t know How could you not know? One of the only 10 Demon Kings in the demon world. ''It''s so helpful that the 5th floor made a suggestion to me.'' On the 5th floor, he threatened, not encouraged, to change to his apostleship. At the time, I was only annoyed by the annoying curses and rants, but now that I see it, I can use it so usefully. ...the fact that it was directly related to the Demon King... That''s right. I''m the ''Black Apostle'' who serves him. I came here to reinforce information about the Holy Relic. Jinhyuk tilted his head toward one of the stiffened people. Melena belongs to the Mine Association. Demon Clan Macedros cannot miss the demonic energy that is unique to Mine. Moreover, the special class ''Black Apostle'' with the Demon King as a guardian was a player who climbed the tower as the hands and feet of the Demon King, and was in a position to access various information about the demon world faster than anyone else. indeed . Macedros nodded as if he understood himself. If the target was a black apostle, he heard his true name through ''Corrupting Heart''. Knowing the location of the relic that can release the sealed Demon King. it all made sense However. Why does the Apostle of the Decaying Heart want to tell me the location of the Holy Relic? If I break the seal of the person I serve, it won''t be of any benefit to you. The interests of the demon world were also quite intricately intertwined, but the Decaying Heart and the Demon King served by Macedros were not allies. Of course, that fact was also within the range that Jinhyuk knew. So that''s what I''m saying. Jinhyuk pretended to be calm. Raising the corners of the lips is a bonus. As you know, our Demon King isn''t interested in ranking competitions or anything like that. At the very least, even demons say that they won''t work for our Demon King? A Demon King who converts a player that looks reasonably useful to a Black Apostle, and enjoys playing games with him. That was the inclination of the Demon King ''Beliel'' with the nickname ''Corrupting Heart''. After all the hungry ghosts hit each other, Macedros finally dispelled his doubts. This is because this information was really inside information that could never be found unless the opponent was a Black Apostle. It''s fun. So you want to switch ropes? Looking at the Demon King you serve, he seems to be active. I like an ambitious master. I''ll hand over the location of the relic, so promise me a future instead. Promise me the future... Are you saying that you want to become our side''s black apostle? Yeah. It won''t be easy because of the contract, but there is one way. I''m listening. If you can enter the ''Displaced Rift''... then you can break the contract with the Demon King, just give me the key to enter it. [Misaligned crack.] Yes. This is the key. If you are trapped in a crack that completely changes the concept of space and time, you will be trapped inside for at least a year. An apostle who has not been directly replenished with demonic energy for more than 3 months will eventually be forcibly disconnected from the Demon King. '' Using that point, you can get a ticket to enter the rift.'' Jinhyuk managed to calm his trembling heart. Compared to other places, this overwhelmingly abundant crack in mana was a huge performance in itself. Of course, it was possible to increase the skill level, as well as the delicious amount of experience monsters and the extreme survival environment there must also be a foundation for growth. ''Go ahead and ask.'' It''s not a bad deal, is it? One side gets the location of the relic that they have been waiting for. One gets paid for telling it. As an added bonus, it is possible to avoid hitting and fighting here, so it is truly a one stone three group. Of course, to me, it means one stone three birds. " " After thinking for a while, Macedros asked again. You want to enter the rift voluntarily? Is that a place even Demon Clans are reluctant to go? If you want to play in the higher waters, you have to endure that much trouble. Fuhahaha! I like that attitude. Well, it must have been that he was chosen as an apostle for his shameless and vicious point. At Jinhyuk''s clever reply, Macedros went crazy. He seems to like his honest and direct tone of voice. Thanks for the compliment. Listen to it as an acceptance. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. But. no. Macedros shook his head. It doesn''t mean rejection. Rather . He was expecting something else with a face full of anticipation and curiosity. No matter how much you know, you can''t accept it until you see it in person. Opportunity to become a direct subordinate of the Demon King. I can''t give such a performance with just one tooth. Of course, it was a statement of his will that he could not promise anything until he proved his dance worthy of it. I''m pretty tired from using my body all the time, can''t we do it next time? Unfortunately, there is no next time. If you don''t live up to your expectations, you''ll have to pay the price for ruining my plans. Does dropping out mean death? The ideology is very similar to the damn company out there. It may be a nuisance, but seeing it hurts my spine. May I ask one thing before we begin? Of course. First, how strict is the security of this barrier-like thing you''ve put up now? The manager, of course, no one else can peek inside. No mana as big as a fingernail will leak out. So, you don''t have to worry about that. Macedros shrugged. But, why are you curious about that? It''s nothing. only. Because I didn''t want my abilities to be discovered by annoying people. Originally... Considering the eyes of the Egyptians, I was not planning to use this ability. However, if the situation was like this, the story would be different. It''s as if there was no need to come out with a low profile if it wasn''t for that kind of restriction. It is a face that does not believe in the slightest. Seriously, I can''t help but look like that just by saying it. if so. You just have to show them a little to taste. How arrogant it was to threaten you with a cheeky test or something. Moment. Color is overlaid on the achromatic world. ''This ?'' An earthquake struck Macedros'' pupil. It''s faint, but definitely. Obviously, I felt a sense of incongruity with the black and white clock. It''s impossible. The ability to affect barriers that you fully control. "You you are." The words of Macedros did not end there. [The unique ability ''Sanctuary of the Sun'' is activated.] [The unique ability ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong (ħʹ)'' is activated.] Two abilities were manifested. [''Black Sanctuary'' is built.] kukuku kuk kuk! The image world has been changed. Black Sanctuary. It refers to a sacred place that has not been defiled by any external enemies. And. This place made up of the black sun and the desert . There was not enough to give the enemy the same weight as the deep sea. Do I need any more proof of qualifications? Jinhyuk asked. With momentum like Mt. Taesan It was a question. " " Macedros remained silent with a hardened face. Until Sanctuary was activated, if it felt like it was fitting in with a human being''s banquet. After Sanctuary was activated, the concept of Jinhyeok was completely redefined. ''I wonder if such a person exists... .'' one step. If you take one more step forward, you might be swallowed up by the blackened sand and never be able to get out. This world was out of common sense to the extent that I thought like that. ''It''s not something you can''t kill if you do your best, but... .'' That''s not a test. It''s just a bloody battle where you have to fight for your life. More than anything else, the idea that there is a chance to win against humans is the only thing that comes to mind. It was absurd for Macedros. The qualifications are sufficient. Actually, at this point, it would be right to ask him to come this way. I''ve met a few Grand Masters who became Black Apostles, but you are by far the most unique. These words are sincere. That''s how much the person in front of me was coveted. If a person with such enormous power becomes their ''black apostle'', they will gather relics at once to resurrect the Demon King... . Once again. Yes, you will be able to challenge yourself to the top of the tower once again. In an instant, Macedros scattered the mana he had gathered. At the same time, Jinhyuk also disbanded ''Black Sanctuary''. ''Are there idiots who converted to apostles? shit. This might be a bit of a pain in the butt... .'' A brief thought passed by. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The blackened clock returned to its original state, and the stopped time began to flow again. with that... . The transaction was made. Macedros reached out to Jinhyuk. Suddenly, a black key appeared in his hand. This is the key you want. [Key to the Rift] Acquisition Difficulty: Unmeasurable Description: A key to the rift, owned by only a small percentage of the giants in the upper floors of the tower. It is also very difficult to obtain, and even if you get the key, finding the crack is another matter. Finally got this in my hands. It''s also a good thing to say. There was nothing incomparable to the pleasure of having things fit together like gears meshing together. ''I was a little afraid that we would keep fighting.'' If it had not been possible to copy a unique ability comparable to divinity, Macedros would have attacked without hesitation. By his standards, ''useful'' was at a level that far exceeded any boss. After finishing everything, Jinhyuk looked around. Macedros had disappeared, leaving behind a black key. All that is left is to get out of this place by recovering the players and the rest of the Lockheed Guild who lost consciousness from exhaustion. That was then. Lord, lord, are you all right? That guy...! Did a human kill that goddamn bastard? Wolyoung and Caracal ran one step at a time. The intimidation of Macedros must have been considerable, but seeing that he did not lose his mind in the midst of it, both of them are objects. ''Actually, these are the employees I have chosen, but of course, this should be enough.'' Jinhyeok, who smiled, patted Wolyeong and Caracal on the shoulder. I''ll tell you in a little while. First, take the players and go to the maze entrance. Then come back without being noticed. It''s also important to go outside and get in the spotlight, of course. Because I purposely wore a mask to promote Unknown''s brand value. But rather than that . There is one thing left to consider right now. After a while, Jinhyuk, who confirmed that everyone had disappeared, muttered toward the air. I know you''re watching. Do you have anything to say to me? OK. Pants Chun! Sparks jumped out of the air as if waiting. CH 191 . Ricknoth''s Pawnshop What appeared beyond the familiar gate... . jerk. It was Rick Hennessy, one of the middle managers. you''re finally here It''s like this squirrel-like inspiration. Heh heh. Oh, my, my.... Looking at it, you must have been very angry. Rick burst out laughing. His relaxed appearance touched Jinhyuk''s nerves even more. The voice went cold. Obviously, didn''t you say that you would prevent the manifestation of the higher powers? Demon Clan''s manifestation and Friedman''s live editing. These were the conditions I demanded. Of course, I remembered the terms of the transaction. But, the barrier was so well prepared that there was a hole in the barrier? Thanks to you, I forgot too. There''s a hole in the barrier that Rick, the middle manager of the world, made? Are you telling me to believe it? Sauron is sitting there talking about lasik surgery. I don''t know where they are telling such a blatant lie with an innocent face on the subject of turning on the map hack and looking at every nook and cranny of the tower. As the atmosphere began to cool down, Rick added a word hastily. Heh heh! Big! It wasn''t on purpose. Actually, we had trouble on our side as well. Hey. You''d be right. Of course, what it is is a secret, right? No. It''s our mistake, and I have to tell you. A few hours ago... Moorim launched a pre-emptive strike against the Empire. It''s just like sending an advance squad, but part of the 24th floor has been completely turned into ruins. At Rick''s words, this time Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. ''Oh.'' look at this Did you attack the empire first in Moorim, where the size of the power was reduced? Has it been crouched up until now? ''Jeongfani, Saffany... People who don''t work well together and have a huge headache called Heavenly Demon Protestantism would make such a decision.'' This is going to be fun I didn''t know what the plot was, but it was obvious that it would have a huge impact on the future of the tower. I understand there are circumstances. That doesn''t mean Rick can break his contract with me. Of course. Even if it doesn''t, as a bonus concept to Jinhyuk in the sense of apology, one of the items I have is ''true number'' I''m trying to give you my rights... How are you? It''s not just giving, it''s ''can buy'' I''ll give you the right... . Indeed, Rickdown. It means that you are considering what to choose as well as how to negotiate as a point of observation at the same time as compensation. "As Jinhyuk-sama already knows, the items I have are not common in the tower." Yes. I know it well. In fact, Rick, the owner of the group, had a lot of treasures that the players couldn''t get no matter how hard they tried to save them. Opportunities like this don''t come often. In addition, since Macedros gained various benefits, including the ''Key to the Rift'', I was able to give a brief grace period for Rick''s atrocities. very for awhile. Okay. Let''s do that. It''s a wise decision. Well, what do you want? We also have weapons, armor, accessories, relics, and various elixirs, so please feel free to tell us as long as your balance allows. Well. I don''t think I''ll be able to buy or do anything with my coins because I used up all my coins a while ago. I''ll barter instead. Hmm. It''s not bad either, but Jinhyuk-sama might have something that I might be interested in... Heo Eok! uuung! When Jinhyuk activated the subspace inventory, Rick''s eyes expanded as if they were about to pop out. I had no choice but to do so. It was because it was none other than a sweet potato that was toddling around without knowing anything. Okay. Come here. mosquito! The sweet potato slipped into Jinhyuk''s arms and hugged him. Closing your eyes gently and enjoying your hands is a dragon that never fails. Oh, are you saying that you are going to exchange the ancient species...? Rick''s voice trembled violently. On the other hand. "Mom, Mogiii!?" The sweet potato, noticing something strange, struggled in Jinhyuk''s arms. Be quiet. Even if I give you a million dollars, you won''t give up. Ah! I''m telling you in advance for fear of misunderstanding, I''m not exchanging sweet potatoes. Well then...? I''ll give you a sweet potato scale. What an ancient scale! Greed flashed in Rick''s eyes. ...what do you want in return? A ''compass'' that marks where cracks appear. I''m sure... I know that Rick-san has it too, right? Now that you''ve got the key from Macedros, all you need to do is figure out where the rift comes from. Jinhyuk was going to solve it through Rick. Their eyes cross each other''s eyes. From now on, this is the main game of negotiation. [[Rick Hennessy Lv25 ''Deep Sigh''] Activate the skill.] Uh-huh... Rick frowned and stroked his chin with his hand. The deep drooling sound that seemed to drain the soul was only admirable whenever he heard it. "I like the scales of ancient species, but it is difficult to get my price because they are not adults and do not even know their true name. In addition, they have to be stored in a special solution because the maintenance cost is not a joke. Of course, there will be customers who are looking for them. It may or may not be possible, right? It''s just that I have to bear all the risks on my own... It''s not easy. The lengthy explanation was close to bullshit, but it was strangely convincing. Maintenance and inventory issues, low demand due to rarity, etc. From an economic point of view, it seems to have a good assortment. [[Rick Hennessy Lv22 ''Strike''] Activate the skill.] I mean... I will do it on condition that you lend me 10 scales and an ancient bell for a week. Whoa, whoa. Really, this is the limit. On the contrary, I am at a loss, but as Jinhyuk-nim, I do this under special conditions." Again, a strange mana was included in the eloquence. Anyway, one timing to use the skill is crazy. Just because he slashes everything in half, doesn''t mean he''s nicknamed Ricknoth. Hmm . Jinhyuk, who was listening quietly, nodded. It''s not about accepting it. I was trying to pretend that I didn''t know if I had put forward a suitable condition. As long as it comes out to the bone in this way, you have to play it properly. It would be easier to just talk to Mr. Hasting. I don''t think I can communicate with Mr. Rick. Please call your supervisor. Yes... yes? What do you mean by that... Rick stuttered, as if in great perplexity. I tried to pass on one big mistake considering my relationship with Rick. But, aren''t you actually trying to hit me? I''m sure you''re forgetting, but the manager''s breach of contract is a felony. would you? It is the habit of the deceased to forget grace but not the enemy, so he remembers it very clearly. What the junior manager ''Karman'' did. gulp . Dry saliva ran down Rick''s throat. It was because he instinctively felt that the situation was not serious. I think it''s normal if the favor continues, but it''s a pity. Personally, I really liked Mr. Rick. Come on, wait! I''m sorry! I... I! I was wrong. Rick grabbed Jinhyuk''s sleeve with a pale face. I didn''t want to even imagine what would happen if Hasting came here. How do you pass the compass? I''ll give you one scale... In the end, Rick raised the white flag. However. Jinhyuk did not accept the white flag. Actually, there was no need for that. Now the initiative has completely shifted to this side. Um. I really, really, really want to give it to you, but now that I look at it, our sweet potato looks so pitiful. Mosquito... Mosquito mosquito. The eyes of the sweet potato were wet with the thought of plucking the raw scales. This is something that, as a human being, cannot afford to do. How could you do such a savage thing with those piercing eyes? no way . Give it for free. What do you like about being a regular? In times like these, we''re kind to each other. No, considering how many scams I''ve been deceived by Rick in the past, this doesn''t even count as a victim. Ah, no matter how much it''s free... I can''t do it, so then, where do you go and try it yourself? Jinhyuk gently stroked the sweet potato''s hair. Whoops! mosquito! Sweet potato exposed pointed fangs. It was the eyes that felt the will to chew it and eat it as it is if I touched it with my fingertips. Well, even middle managers. Your liver won''t stick out of your stomach enough to touch the scales of an ancient species. Ugh... I knew it. Rick retrieved his outstretched hand. Send the compass to my subspace inventory. It will take some time to find it, so I''ll give it three days. "I see I will. Let''s do that. Please, please, keep this a secret from Hasting-sama." Don''t worry about that. Instead, please take care that Mr. Rick gets the damned sub-manager properly punished. Personally, I never wanted to see that guy face again. I didn''t even want to get stabbed in the back of the head. sure. I won''t let you appear in the tower again, so you don''t have to worry about that. Rick''s anger for throwing a treasure alive was sure to be directed at Kaman, so there''s no need to worry. timely. [The 8th and 9th floors have been attacked] [You have achieved an amazing achievement.] [This event will be inducted into the ''Hall of Fame'' for one day tomorrow.] [Level has risen.] [Level has risen.] [Level is .] [ ] It went up.] [You have acquired +500,000 coins.] [[''Title''] You have acquired the right to choose one.] [You can check the details of the title through detailed information.] A successive status window revealed who the true winner of this battle was. With this everything was finished. Now it''s time to get out of the maze. Two familiar faces appeared in the old-fashioned room. One was Senior Manager Hasting, sitting in a chair, sipping tea. The other was Sub-Administrator Kahman, who was trembling and terrified. Darely, the crime of breaking the rules of the tower and trying to take care of his teeth from the bosses was so heavy that he had to be imprisoned for the rest of his life. But. That wasn''t the reason why Kaman was trembling in fear now. "Ha, Hasting-sama sa, please help me. I made a mistake." That''s it. Hasting put down his cup of tea. There was a particularly loud clicking sound. I was so supportive not to fail, but I blew up the board. This is really annoying. I''m really upset. The cold voice and the energy captured like a blade... . It was hard to think of it as the mild Hastings of the past. "Hey hey hey." Kaman took a small step backwards. His face, completely tired of fear and fear, was filled with only the desire to ''live''. Especially, didn''t you line up the higher Demon Clan this time, so that no matter how stupid you are, you don''t fail. The reason why a sub-manager was able to link the two tiers and even summon Macedros from the demon world. It was all possible because Hasting was behind the scenes. I deliberately chose a low-level manager so as not to be noticed, but I guess I made a mistake. You''ve been working hard all this time, Mr. Karman. with it. Hasting''s conversation has come to an end. I, please...! with a desperate cry. Kwajik! The entire space engulfed Kaman''s body. But right then. dreaming A shadow filled with unidentified tentacles fell in the room. [ ] .] An ominous feeling that cannot be described by text and language began to encroach on the room. Even Hasting shuddered and shuddered. Don''t worry too much. Primordial Masters. I will do my best to keep no one from accessing your supreme sanctuary... this hasting will do its best. CH 192 . Elise''s bloodline [The video uploaded to the ''Hall of Fame'' has been edited by the administrator.] The sight transmitted through the screen was a shock itself. -Holiday Breaker: Does it make sense that humans can use such powerful technology? At this point, the monster becomes pitiful, isn''t it? -SESFOV: There will come a day when the Unknown battle scene will be intuitive. I''m glad I didn''t go out today. Really. I had so many appointments that I almost missed it. Whoa. -Papico: Hey, Mr. Kim. calm down and get up Break time is over. -Vulcanized Running Shirt: But the more I look at it, the more admiration comes out seems to be a fact. I''m trying to make my heart bigger. -San: Only your breasts get bigger? The panties are also majestic. - Soft Black Crane: Ah. That''s ''Mugong''. -Tiger in the delivery box: There has never been a player who cleared the 8th and 9th floors at the same time, and there seems to be no future. Real history is rewritten. -Bubble Bubble Tea: I want to see the real original, not the edited version. under. It''s a pity that so many things have been deleted. The players who were there also said that all their memories were a little bit lost because of the shock. There was no pretense mixed with the message that came up like crazy. Admire the overwhelming dance. And beyond that, at the fact that such a strong ranker was climbing the tower with them, everyone''s hearts pounded rapidly. By the way. -Tier Assessor: But who is the higher tier, Kang Jinhyuk and Unknown? Can''t there be two people in first place? The stronger Unknown is. The more Jinhyeok achieves more brilliant achievements. Questions arose to determine the superiority of the two. It was a common rice cake, but it was too tasty to ignore. -Harvard Department of Statistics 7th year: I majored in statistics at university for 7 years, but in the case of close combat, Unknown. In the distance, Jinhyuk Kang wins. When rebutting, the tower is not known. -Speedwagon: The Tower of Unknown means a person who does not know the Tower of Trials. -The ranker of the loss: Of course, it is Kang Jinhyuk Is this comparable? To be honest? -I saw Mundo: Do you have odd eyes? Can''t you see Unknown is shooting One Punch Man with just one fist? - Sae Young Eon Hwan: Well. Whatever it is, I don''t think a match between the two will happen that easily. The server was about to explode because of the overflow of comments. While outside, the stories about Unknown and Jinhyuk were going back and forth. Jinhyeok, who is the real party, is located on the first floor of the ''Corridor of the Fallen''. Waiting for someone inside. To be precise, he was checking the level and stat points that had not been distributed while waiting for someone. Name: Kang Jin-hyuk Gender: Male Age: 27 Level: 74 Strength 50 Dexterity 25 Stamina 34 mana 181 Gap 100 Luck 10 Adaptive 78 Elemental 27.53 Stat Points you have: 21 Coins held: 500,125 Occupation: Rune Interpreter Unique abilities: ''Fusion'', ''Sword Grave'', ''Star Blessing'', ''Anubis'' Judgment'', ''Blood Magic (Ѫħ)'', ''Mandala (_)'', ''1 second Invincible'', ''Thousand Poison (ǧ)'', ''White Beast'', ''All Things (f鹲)'', ''Sanctuary of the Sun'', ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong (ħʹ)'' skill: There are too many skills, so ''put it down'' state has been switched to. barrier: The number of barriers learned is too many to ''fold'' state has been switched to. [Currently, there is one ''Title'' that can be selected.] A whopping 7 levels. Thanks to clearing both layers at the same time, I was able to monopolize the experience that was hard to imagine. ''It was really crazy. You''re going to be able to swallow all of this.'' ''Title'' is needed a little later, so you can pick it up slowly, but stat points should be distributed right now. 11th floor and Empire. Considering the two huge events, it was necessary to invest in something other than mana this time. Especially since I didn''t know that if I went to the Empire, I might even run into ''that guy''. No, considering the pre-emptive attack on the Empire by Moorim, the meeting was probably nothing more than a scheduled one. The worries didn''t last long. Jinhyuk poured all his stats into one place. [Strength increases from 50 to 71.] huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Since the stats corresponding to the seven levels were raised at once, the extent of growth felt was markedly different. power surges If it were now, he was confident that he would not be pushed even if he fought the Lizard King with his bare hands. where . Jinhyuk lightly stretched his fist toward the wall. It was a blow to test the increase in power purely without loading mana. By the way. Aww! The wall cracked like a tortoise shell. ''Too Did you upload a lot?'' When I raised the power to the sub-stats, including the gap and adaptive stats, the effect was excessive. Even if it was a medium-sized monster, not a human, it would not be an exaggeration. ''Hmm. I''ll have to try and see how much weight I can lift.'' Jinhyuk''s gaze turned to a large stone this time. More than an hour passed while I was testing this and that. right then jerk. with the sound of light footsteps. A girl with silver hair approached. It was Alice who sent me here first. In the meantime, I was glad to see Elise, who had a grim expression on her face. I gave you a chance to go out, but you don''t look like you''re in a good mood? "Huh? Ah that " Elise grunted and messed up her hair. Seeing him muttering with his cheeks inflated, he seems to be having a hard time convincing. Seriously, he did look pretty proud of himself. Why. Belus doesn''t listen to you? Do you think you''re very upset that you signed a contract with me? A hound of the Decassus who tried to shake the tower through the Blood Wayport. Michael. And there was one special item obtained by dealing with him. [Powet''s Necklace] Acquisition Difficulty: Overrank Description: This necklace was completed by Powet, a high priest, with the help of divinities. It specializes in ''sealing'', and it can exert a powerful effect, especially on those of the dark attribute type. (However, only one target can be sealed with this item.) Jinhyuk used this to bring out one of the blood relatives left in the corridor. For that reason, Elise left Jinhyuk''s side for a while and went to the first floor. In fact, seeing that the color of the necklace hanging from Alice''s neck had changed, it must have been a success in bringing Belus, the head of the clan, out. the problem is . The point is that the prideful guy can''t tolerate the head of the Ataraxia clan he serves and his ancestor, Ellis, bowing her head to humans. I''m sorry, but you''ll understand in time. You''re a contractor I''ve recognized. Thank you for saying that, but I can''t waste years trying to get recognition from my subordinates. This is not a democratic society. It is a one-party dictatorship that thoroughly presses down with force. Above all, I had no intention of having a guy who didn''t know up and down. Uh, what are you going to do? Elise asked with a face full of fear. And. How are you? Jinhyuk responded with the same smile as usual. We need to reopen the squirrel cage again. who said that Hell-Joseon''s squirrel cage opens twice. [Gagging! Cool cool cool! Wow!] After leaving the corridor and returning to SIGNIEL, Jinhyeok sat on the sofa and repeated what he had done to Elise in the past. The torture lasted about two hours. The 360-degree course is the basic course, and the 540-degree and 270-degree reverse rotation courses are also properly mixed. Thanks to this, the sound of breathing suffocating echoed through the necklace. Come on. Tell me. Who is your master? [me is the protector of the Ataraxia family. Never give in to something like this. The only owner I serve is Ellis von Atarak... There is only one Sia.] Hmm. This is not a vampire, but a scholar of the Joseon Dynasty... . It makes me wonder if bamboo sap is flowing from my body. A tolerant king would burst out laughing at this point, praising his spirit. ''Unfortunately, because I''m a tyrant as small as a brittle cow.'' Yeonsan-gun, not Sejong. That was the role model of the monarch who led the Goin Corporation. Jinhyuk put the necklace on the table for a moment. [why? Now that your wrist hurts when you turn, are you going to give up? I have Dragon''s willingness to get along more.] Oh. Yeah? I want you to take responsibility for those words. At least I agree with you that your wrist hurts. so. From now on, I plan to leave the chores to the pets that Teresa bought them for. Jinhyuk tied the necklace tightly to the treadmill inside the hamster barrel. Shoot! The pure white pearl hamster tilted its head. Alessandro III. He was a dignified member of the prestigious Amsterdam family ''Rosenberg'', to which Teresa belongs, and a great hamster with a genealogy. [Hey, what is this?] Belus called out urgently, but Jinhyuk did not answer. Instead, he hung a chunk of delicious cheese on the treadmill. Tal Tal Tal TAL! Shoot! Chop! Chop! Alessandro III began to ride the wheel frantically to eat cheese. [this How dare you fucking rat! stop I mean stop!] Although screams echoed throughout the interior of Signiel, the security guards did not break in from this place, which respected the privacy of the occupants as much as possible. Elise. Uh, huh? I''m going out for a while. You must never take this guy out. Okay? I... never? Yeah. Absolutely. Oh! And just in case... if you''re going to do something like that. Then there won''t be one accessory in the washing machine. How to match a set of rings and necklaces. If you wish, you can provide another place in the treadmill. We, Alexander III, received a lot of love from the saint, so he was very strong. A ring and necklace should be enough. Don''t worry! I''m a really good listener. You know. Hehe. Alice smiled awkwardly. Early education is also important. If you pretend, you''ll understand. And how to give candy to a good child. When you come, I''ll buy a bunch of your favorite chicken, salmon, giblets, etc. I''m looking forward to it. And I''ll take you to places you''ve never been to. Jinhyuk perfectly used the stick and carrot. I do well ten times, but if I don''t do it once, I hear a disappointment. If you can''t do it ten times, but do it well once, I''m so grateful... . It was because I knew it thoroughly through experience. Yeah! I''m that beer too! Again, Elise''s red eyes were shining brightly, and she waved her hand to say good-bye. Jinhyuk, who went out for a long time, enjoyed the warm sunlight and headed to the cafe near SIGNIEL. Hey, isn''t it Kang Jinhyuk player? That''s right. Oh my gosh. I was wondering where you live. Did you live in Signiel? Of course... can''t I ask you to take a picture with us just once? Or even just one word... Arthur. There are people who pee after making eye contact with an S-class player. But if it''s Kang Jin-hyeok player... he might even faint? Now that he has become quite a celebrity, the number of people recognizing him on the street has increased significantly. ''It must be difficult to walk around with your mind.'' I don''t think the chin is as good as the sunglasses. It seemed like something else was needed. Passing through the crowd, I arrived at a cafe decorated with a rather atmospheric atmosphere. Rumble! The door opened and an empty interior entered. Although it was a busy street, there was not a single customer in sight. even There wasn''t even a clerk. As if someone had paid a charter. This is it. It was then that a familiar voice was heard. CH 193 . Goin Corporation''s Unity Contest (Feat. Amusement Park) (1) The person waiting for Jinhyuk in the cafe was none other than the Imperial Sword Master ''Penheimer''. Due to the interference of the system, the information that residents inside the tower can know about the outside of the tower is limited. It means that things that can feel a sense of incongruity are self-filtering or that the memory is automatically distorted. So Penheimer could easily accept the world outside the tower. Rumble! Jinhyuk approached Penheimer''s table and sat down. He said he grew up to be the biggest force in the middle class... . Coins that can come out of the tower seem to have reached a level that can be used generously. By the way, he also wears a black suit instead of armor, so he has a profound feeling. If there is a British gentleman, this is probably what he looks like. I was quite surprised that you asked to see me here. Haha. I wanted to invite you to the Empire if possible, but the situation turned out like this. Thanks to this, I can see the world Jinhyuk lives in, so it''s not too bad. Penheimer took a mouthful of the cappuccino. Hmm... I felt like I really liked the food of this world to exhale. Tiramisu, Mont Blanc, and Madeleine You were having a very tea party. Isn''t it worth paying for it and drinking it? Of course. The owner gave me the store for charter when I gave them gold coins. It''s fortunate that I have to talk quietly. " " These bourgeoisie... . Whether it''s Ellis or this person, is it even a hobby to destroy the value of a country''s currency when money is rotten? Jinhyuk felt a throbbing headache. However, what matters now is not how wealthy the empire is. The key is what kind of information you need to get here. So. I''d love to hear about the reason you wanted to see me. I don''t think you''re calling me to have tea or a cup of tea. You always like the main point. I see. Penheimer handed him a gold dragon and a ring adorned with golden roses. This . Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. There are two patterns that symbolize the imperial family. Is it like a pass to enter the Empire? Yes. This means that it is a bounty given directly from a nobleman, so if you have this, you will be able to freely move around the Empire. To be sure, with this, freedom of action is guaranteed in many ways. However, to say that Penheimer had come to this place simply to give him a ring was contradictory. It would have been enough to have someone else do the errands. That''s... . "It looks like Moorim is hitting harder than expected." Jinhyeok cut the rush and pierced the core at once. Uh, how... I''ve already heard the story of Moorim''s preemptive strike. Everyone must of course think it''s a favorable situation for the Empire. However. The reality will be different. Even without seeing it in person, long experience was telling me that it would be. It''s amazing. I wonder if they even sent a spy to our side. I mean, you''re right. As you said, the situation is not very good. A part of the 24th floor has already been completely transferred to the Moorim side. One Knights Templar and an army of 5,000 men have been annihilated. The situation is more serious than we thought. Even if the Moorim is not at the level that an individual Mugong would look down on. Wouldn''t that be enough to annihilate such a large number? That''s right. Did you intervene from above? It should be interpreted to mean that a higher power intervened. 35th floor above. In other words, from the floor where ''divinity'' and ''transcendent'' dwell. " they didn''t intervene." Otherwise, there would be no cards that could come out so strong in Moorim. Actually, there''s just one more thing. At Jinhyuk''s words, Penheimer slowly opened his mouth. And rather than the intervention of the divinities, he mentioned a more troublesome name. Heavenly Demon has closed its doors. Heavenly Demon (ħ). If you were to pick the entire rank in the Tower of Trials, he was definitely one of the most talked about. A being who threw its limits into a human body. Therefore, the path he walks is stained with blood, and the place his hand passes through becomes ruins. The monster, comparable to a natural disaster, was one of the absolutes that had an impact not only on Moorim, but on the entire tower. How did such a guy come out after closing down? ''If he goes beyond the current state and reaches the state of the natural landscape, it''s a real headache... .'' Jinhyuk added a new variable to the plan with a stiff face. Then, suddenly, another question came to mind. ''If the Heavenly Demon really appeared, it would be useless to tell me.'' There is no way that the Imperial Sword Master and the Royal Palace Wizard should all be entrusted to a single player. No matter how much the player flies and crawls, it is still far below the level of the residents. After all, Penheimer''s coming here has nothing to do with Heavenly Demon. I pretend to be verbose and give a lot of information, but... What interest is really looking for is . ''is it.'' Something flashed through Jinhyuk''s mind like lightning. Now I know. What Penheimer wants to check is to give this and that information, and to figure out what kind of results it can draw with those fragments. It''s about being able to grasp the intelligence and analytical powers and the fact that you''re testing yourself. I don''t even know what the reason is. It''s probably because there''s a back story that''s not light at all. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. I think that''s enough to just think about it. One last question. What''s the real reason you wanted to meet me? " hahahaha! I think it was the right decision to come to Jinhyuk-nim as expected." Penheimer went mad. But it was only for a short time. The words that followed the laughter were more sincere than ever. It is true that a war broke out, and it is true that the Heavenly Demon appeared. However, all of that has to be resolved on our side. What I want to ask Jinhyuk-nim is to select the spies inside us. Concubine... are you sleeping? Yes. Someone is communicating with Moorim. It is a situation where inside information is cleverly stolen. And, judging from the level of information, there is a high possibility that a very high place is involved. This is pretty complicated. If done well, it could be a pretty fun version... . I could roughly guess which side betrayed the imperial family. As for the Empire, it was thanks to his interest in studying it so much that he knew every year from the founding of the country to the present. If I do, what can the Empire do for me in return? Support from the middle floors... and the shortest route to the upper floors. We promise these two things. It means that the work that used to take years will be reduced to a few months at once without having to break through the complicated 20-story floor. I''ll see you in the Empire soon. [All employees of Goin Corporation. Good afternoon everyone. In the meantime, we haven''t seen each other since we''ve been working hard, but we''ve prepared a small place for unity this time, so we ask all those who have been invited to attend.] [Location: Theme park located on the 1st floor of the Tower of Trials / Time: Until 3pm.] A polite invitation was sent. However, due to various restrictions, the members who actually came to the meeting were a bit confused. First of all, Kim Hee-woong, who is in charge of the Black Crow Guild, Andria, who is in charge of the psychiatric ward, and Melena of the Mine Association could not attend. Instead, Yoosung Cheon and Theresa joined him. Of course, it was an added bonus that Elise, who was stuck like gum, and Wolyeong, who was hiding in the shadows, joined. It''s been a long time since I''ve been to an amusement park. Teresa looked around with a childish look on her face. Located in the center of the Tower of Trials, the theme park boasted an enormous scale that could not be compared to Disneyland. In fact, quite a few people gathered here to relieve the stress of climbing the tower. Is this what it''s like to call a busy person and do it? Cheon Yoosung did not hide his unpleasant feelings. Well. It seems strangely exhilarating for something like that. I''d like to hear some serious clarification on why they are staring at the roller coaster while grunting with words. No, seriously, why are you holding a coin equivalent to the price of a free pass in the opposite hand? If you have something you want to say, say it. Don''t make such a face like a dog who is in trouble. Yeah. I have something I want to say. I''ll be patient for fear of getting stabbed at the amusement park. What does that mean? It doesn''t mean anything else. It''s just... I guess I want to keep the peace of the long-awaited unity tournament. If the appearance of a medical student wielding a long sword even climbed into the Tower of Trials community, it would be quite difficult as it is. It''s even more difficult for a video titled ''The Reality of the Sword Master of Korea University.avi'' to circulate around the internet. Jinhyuk quietly shook his head. right then Kwok. Elise, who was next to him, pulled Jinhyuk''s sleeve. Human. I want to eat that. Hurry. Hurry. Alice gulped, pointing to the large cotton candy. If you don''t buy it, the whole amusement park will be turned into ruins. It''s too much trouble to even get this queen. At the first general meeting of shareholders, only employees who listened well and were meek were gathered... . Jinhyuk, who had been thinking about the past for a while, gave up on everything and headed to the food court. Cotton candy, hot dogs, ice cream balls... Just give me one of each type here. In fact, I was thinking of releasing the stress I had accumulated over the years and definitely shooting it. ''Since you attacked two floors and received 500,000 coins, you can indulge in this luxury.'' In addition, as the number of views of the uploaded videos is steadily increasing, the emptied balance will be filled more heavily than before. Above all, Elise was a card of conversion that could be used for endless content in the future. With that in mind, the coins I''m using now felt like pennies. After that, for 6 hours, the party rode various rides, ate delicious food, and enjoyed the honey-like rest to their heart''s content. Not only Teresa, who grew up in strict manners, and Cheon Yu-seong, who has a blunt personality. Elise, who came to this place for the first time, was so exhausted that her throat was choked from screaming. Shall we go back soon? Theresa saw the sun set and proposed disbanding. Closing time was almost over, so it meant we had to go back now. However. No. What if I go already? Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders with a strange smile. Yeah? Are there still more? Okay. Still. There is one most important place left. Jinhyuk pointed to the innermost part of the amusement park. I saw a door that was hard to see because it was hidden behind a splendid view. what is it At first glance, it was a door that had an aura that seemed like it was impossible to enter. Now that we''ve played lightly, it''s time to enjoy the stagnant water amusement park properly. That place . This is the real ''hard mode'' hidden in the amusement park. CH 194 . Goin Corporation''s Unity Contest (Feat. Amusement Park) (2) One of the characteristics of Mangem called the Tower of Trials... . An example would be how to think about how to inflict pain on users. And the theme that made the most of that point was the ''hard mode'' amusement park here. Hehe! How many toys... No, it''s a guest. Are you really going to come in? Really? A bunny-shaped beast at the entrance jumped and jumped. His ears perked up as if he was overjoyed by the long-awaited visitor. but. No player would want to enter such a crazy place. Despite the accessibility of the first floor, this place was almost like a ghost town due to the absurd idea and difficulty. "Ji, Jinhyuk. Are you really going to challenge yourself here?" "I should have known from the beginning of the in-house MTNY and everything What kind of crazy company would risk their life to go to MT?" Theresa and Cheon Yoosung spit out one word at a time. The two of them had also experienced this amusement park in the past, so they knew how crazy Jinhyuk is now. It must be dried somehow. No matter what you do, you must stop crossing this useless wooden bridge. However. -late. I''m already completely blind. -ha. You have to go too, right? - This is cotton candy. It''s really delicious. It''s like eating clouds, isn''t it? The moment they saw Jinhyuk''s mischievous smile, the word give up revolved in everyone''s mind. Why do you think you''re going to die? If you come to an amusement park, you have to enjoy it to the fullest. Above all else, if you pass 4 rides here, the rewards are quite salty. Membership ticket to receive VIP treatment at the large food ingredient market located on the 15th floor. Although it may seem insignificant, there is nothing more important in life than eating. If it were a place filled with delicacies never tasted outside the tower, it would hurt to say any more. Plus, you can enjoy thrilling rides... . Jinhyuk thought that there was nothing like this as a place to unite the company. I''ll put everything in. Of course, you won''t charge the entrance fee, will you? Fish oil. Of course. It still looks like we''re going to web the rides, so thank you for coming. The rabbit rubbed his palms. At the same time. T-tiring! A status window appeared in front of everyone. [Amusement Park of Trials] Difficulty: very difficult Description: You must complete at least 1 ride to get out, and if you pass 3 or more, you will receive a special reward. However, in the case of a team of less than 6 people, rewards will be paid only if 4 passes. Now you can enjoy to your heart''s content. Hehe. The rabbit took a step back with a fishy smile on its face. Damn it! Why the hell are you in this crazy place! Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Hey! Let go of this. Let go of this! An amusement park full of screams and screams. This place was hell. at least similar to that. The Vikings were chosen by Cheon Yu-seong and Teresa. The gigantic ships glide up and down at high speed, almost like a normal Viking. Of course, they are not exactly the same. Not only is there no seat belt, but it''s a little different to see real skeleton soldiers running around on the deck and wielding knives. They were not just skeleton soldiers, but the pirates of the ''White Pearl'' that once ruled the lower floors of the tower. Kaang! Kaaan! Dalgrak! Moongak! The skeletons swung their swords like crazy and drove the two of them together. It was difficult to balance even when standing still, but it was not easy to even come to my senses as they poured elaborate pincers as if measured with a ruler. Thanks to this, Cheon Yu-seong and Teresa were struggling to survive on the Vikings. Kang Jin-hyuk, you fucking bastard! This is not the amusement park I wanted! It was a life of only practicing and studying swordsmanship for the rest of his life. It was a life where I just looked ahead and ran to the point where I couldn''t even enjoy a little leisure. By the way. I wanted to taste new happiness for the first time! This time, the stagnant child who was struck by lightning took away that little happiness. As a fan of the fire, Jin-hyeok waved his hand at such Cheon Yoo-seong. "Cheer up, our swordsmanship. My brother always believes in our swordsmanship!" Of course, seeing your mouth fluttering while sipping slushie is bound to explode. And in another place, a high-pitched sound over 3 octaves resounded. Hey Ik! Human! Right now! Come here right now. You dare to this noble body, such a vulgar... Please save me, you anemone! The place where Alice entered was the ''Haunted House''. Well By the way, there are really ghosts in there. Although their combat power is at the level of a slime, they are the most terrifying ghosts in the entire 50th floor. Go, come with me. Elise-sama! You must not abandon me! Even the strict Elise''s clan, Belus, were crying while hugging each other with Elise. Jinhyuk clicked his tongue. Tttttttt. Those guys are the nobility of the tower. Perhaps the Ataraxia family is a group of surprisingly pure people. It''s hard to find a feeling of weight like that. That was then. Hehehe. Doesn''t that person just watch and don''t participate in person? It seems like everything is going to fail like this...? The rabbit stimulated Jinhyuk with his provocative voice. However, Jinhyuk was only sitting on the chair leisurely and sipping the slushie. I don''t know if you just forgot. If everything fails, you won''t be able to get out of this place. Well, that would be more fun. Hehe. I know. Yes? I know. In fact, I didn''t even expect the rest of the people to succeed. There was no need to succeed. Even if everyone fails anyway, this is because the end of this Quest has been decided. Then where... let''s go slowly Jinhyuk stood up. Tuk! The place where the missing new model appeared was on the Vikings. Are you finally here? I thought I was going to lose all my eyes while waiting. Cheon Yu-seong was frantically dodging the swords of the skeleton soldiers and found Jin-hyuk. Help, too. Jinhyuk-san. Teresa also muttered with a pale face. Due to the trait of the amusement park, if you use unique abilities and skills, it is considered a failure in the Quest, so you have to compete with pure basic stamina and reflexes. Even high-level ones are subject to corrections, so the reality was that even Heavenly Castle and Teresa were struggling. sure. From Jinhyuk''s point of view, it was embarrassing to even call such a penalty a shackle. 5 cervical vertebrae. rib. 3 cm from the hip joint to the upper right corner. Which skeletons have to hit which point to slow their movement. What pattern do you mainly use and how to balance on a swaying boat? I was memorizing it all. Jinhyeok, who had avoided the attacks of the skeleton soldiers, began to attack the weak point precisely. An attack aimed precisely at the RBI. moon crack. moon crack. Skeleton soldiers who were left with only their heads rolled over the ship and were thrown out. Cheon Yoo-seong, who was watching, bit his lip at the very soft and graceful movement. " " Strong feelings of love and hatred for Jin-hyeok flowed out from his expression of inferiority and self-doubt. yes or no Jinhyuk whistled and walked to the edge of the boat. A skeleton wearing a fancy hat as if it was a captain bit the railing with its teeth and struggled not to fall. Whoops! Jinhyuk relentlessly blew the skull''s head up into the sky. The head, which had been spinning round and round, disappeared as it was. ''If you do this much, the two of us will be able to survive the rest of the time.'' OK, next... . Jinhyuk, who quickly jumped off the Viking, headed to the haunted house this time. In a gloomy atmosphere and eerie background music. I saw Elise and Belus trembling. [Spirit is consumed rapidly.] [Chills and chills approach dangerous levels.] Obviously, the ghosts here are scary. To the extent that it provokes psychological trauma. ''At first I almost passed out, but... .'' Since this has also come a lot, ghosts and ghosts seem friendly now. Humans are said to be animals of adaptation, so it seems that the meaning of anything that is stimulating in front of experience is fading. What are you so afraid of, the lord of the night? Don''t you wake up early? That, but... Completely terrified, Elise didn''t even think to stand up. That way, even if it takes all day, you won''t be able to escape from here. You can''t do it. Don''t fall behind and follow along. Jinhyuk let out a small sigh and grabbed Elise''s wrist. And ran towards the entrance. Oh ? Alice opened her eyes and let out a small sigh. He flinched for a moment, but soon started running after Jinhyuk. I, take me too...! Belus, who was left alone, screamed, but the intern didn''t know what was going to happen. When I was a freshman, it was the rule of the floor to roll harshly. Hey, this is absurd... The rabbit''s voice trembled violently. I had no choice but to do so. Because the impregnable fortress that he had built with all his might was crumbling in vain. ''Where the hell did such a monster like that come from?'' Passing through Vikings or haunted houses was amazing, but even more surprising was what happened after that. Wouldn''t it be a 1:30 match by yawning at the bumper car of hell, where 1 million volts of electricity flows in the event of being attacked even once? In a safari full of large-scale monsters that managers find difficult to handle, they even tamed dinosaurs and rode them all at once. At this point, it''s ridiculous and there''s nothing to say. Lastly, in the scene where a mutant piranha and a giant shark are swimming in a flume ride, throwing a spirit water as bait... . To be honest, I even felt scared. gulp. Dry saliva ran down the rabbit''s neck. Although he had been dealing with numerous races for hundreds of years after being tasked with managing this place by the tower''s administrators. There was no one who passed through those many rides. No one passed through it in such a bizarre way. Lord, master? Undine, the spirit water thrown into the water, looked up at Jinhyuk. Around her neck was a necklace made of raw meat, a favorite of piranhas and giant sharks. trembling The fish that smelled the blood reacted. This is all part of training. If you are particularly strong, I can make you a leader to lead the rest of the spirits. I believe that you are well aware of how important and wonderful the leader is in the Special Forces. Lee, the leader? I? Are you really going to do that? Yeah. So, run hard so that you don''t get caught. Even if you don''t know about other spirits, our Undine, whom I love the most, can''t even outrun monsters like that, right? Huhu. The owner knows something. I''m definitely superior to other stupid spirit beasts. Undine proudly opened her chest. Yes. I will only trust you. Yeah! Leave it to me. Undine did her best to dig inside the aquarium. While the tag-and-death game that risked his life continued like that. Jinhyuk finished the Flume Ride by pouring the slushie he couldn''t eat into his mouth. At the same time. [You have cleared all Hard Mode difficulty levels.] Puff Puff Puff! Whoops! Colorful fireworks filled the night sky. ''It wasn''t bad for a vacation.'' Jinhyuk smiled satisfied. The great war of the middle class is about to begin. Before jumping into the great storm of Empire and Moorim, this time to laugh and chat with everyone will be an irreplaceable memory. CH 195 . Burning Call (1) The 24th floor of the Tower of Trials. The inside of the castle, which had been turned into ruins due to the Murim''s attack, was piled up in a mountain of corpses. The scorching smoke and the groans of the wounded spoke of how gruesome the battle was. And . There were two men from the watchtower looking down on the whole scene. The head of the Namgung Sega, and Namgung Jinho. It was Namgungcheon who led the Chinese Guild of China. This job was very difficult. Thanks to your efforts, you easily took away one of the enemy''s bases. "I didn''t say anything I just did what the headmaster told me to do." Chuckle! It was the right decision to have you as a member of our Namgungse family, to say that you were humble enough to have destroyed one of the Empire''s proud knights alone... Namgung Jinho looked at Namgungcheon with a soft expression. Originally, the Chinese Guild was only a tool for the expansion of Moorim''s power. Even that almost disappeared after being halved by the 3rd Great Despair. But. only one. Namgungcheon was too precious to throw away as it is. Although he was an outsider of the tower and did not inherit the bloodline of the Moorim, it was because his natural talents and abilities were too great. So Namgung Jinho gave Namgungcheon the name of the real ''Namgung'', taught him the sword, and made him perfect. ''Now, Hyun-i and the rest of the late Jisoo can''t compete with Chun-yi. Had we known this would happen, we should have embraced this child right away.'' Moorim Among them, as the sword of the 5th generation and the 9th wave. Someday, the Empire will become a sea of fire and the Sapas and Magicians who have no choice but to join hands will be able to slaughter all of them. As he imagined that, a fishy smile appeared on the corner of Jinho Namgung''s lips. not long now The day when that grand dream will come true. We have to destroy one more stronghold of them within today. Moorimmeng promised to support seven top-class masters including ''Shin Youngdae''. How can you do that? Yes. I''m sure I''ll succeed. Namgungcheon also saw a scorching flame in his eyes. It is a difficult line to hold. In a world that has completely changed. You will surely climb by holding on to the golden rope that you can climb upwards. However, something suddenly flashed through Namgungcheon''s mind, who was holding his fist. But, my lord. Why? What are you going to do with that guy? Namgungcheon mentioned another person. Even if I didn''t have to say it, Jinho Namgung knew who the target was. Jinhyuk Kang. The strongest and worst ranker. It was all his fault that the Chinese Guild collapsed, and he had a history of several clashes with Moorim. He is a dangerous person of interest. If left alone, it must have been a big factor in this war. Don''t worry. The players won''t be in the mood to get involved in this. " you have a plan." Yeah. So you just have to do your job well. The plan is not going to go awry. Because the entire Moorim has already completed the perfect hunting preparations for this day. In the ''psychiatric ward'' located on the 5th floor of the Tower of Trials, Jinhyuk, Ellis, and Andria were having a heated conversation. There is only one subject. It is about the section ''How do I act to become a great boss monster?'' As Caracal of the Frostblade Tribe and the rest of the trolls also played a big role in breaking through the 8th and 9th floors, Jinhyuk was planning to raise Andrea, one of the Hidden cards. That''s why I had called Elise, the presidential candidate, with me. It''s been a long time since I''ve seen you. Andria greeted Jinhyuk and Elise with bright faces. hey Once upon a time, she was a terrified girl among cultists. Now, I still feel the dignity of a boss. When I saw the leaves made of laurel and the clothes made of white cloth... what is it Does she look like a goddess from Greek mythology? Seeing them side by side with Elise made me think of them as sisters. The difference was that one was docile and the other tickled. ''Still, it''s been a while since I''ve been here, so it''s nice and friendly.'' Jinhyuk looked around slowly. The gloomy and dark interior had not changed much from when I had been here before. The madness of the fanatics had diminished a bit, but it still struck me that this was a psychiatric ward. How are you these days? The upper floor is open, but there must still be players who are bothering you? Of the 11 bosses in charge of the room, 8 lost their lives to the players. There are three remaining including me, but everyone is just looking at each other. hoo. Have you lost that much already? As time goes by, the level of the players also seems to rise. Are those who survived the prison and the uninhabited island owner? They''re also riding their shit right now. Yes. At this rate, all regions will soon be occupied. Before that, the prevailing opinion is to gather the remaining forces into one. Of course, we do not want to be absorbed by each other, so we are only keeping them in check. So. Their lives are at risk because of the players who are getting stronger, but it hurts their pride to unite and go under someone else. what would this mean Obviously, it will be difficult to stop the players who are growing on the 5th tier as time goes by. In the end, it was necessary to make Andria grow faster than it is now. And not only... even for my future. right then Don''t worry. This body will give you special quick tutoring. Elise''s confident voice could be heard right next to her. Oh oh. After all, does that guy have the qualities of a really good teacher? Jinhyuk turned his head with excitement on his face. By the way. ha . The moment he saw Elise, Jinhyuk had no choice but to let out a deep sigh. how? Alice smiled strangely as she wore black horn-rimmed glasses, a white shirt, and a black skirt. It looked like he was prepared with a lot of intention to curl his hair up. Besides, Belus was also with him, as if he had been summoned from the necklace before he knew it. That guy is also a spectator... . She is dressed in the same Indiana Jones outfit. Tousled hair, a half-loosed shirt, and even a leather whip. It was exactly what you would see in a movie. It doesn''t make sense to hang out in the meantime. Anyway, that''s why I don''t like guys with superior genes... . Jinhyuk pressed his temple with his index finger. They say that this is the true face of a teacher who is popular among people outside the tower. They say that learning efficiency increases by 50% this way? What kind of crazy bastard said that? Viewtube! I looked up your laptop last night. It''s like the damn Viewtube algorithm. Okay. Let''s not talk. Tell me what to do. "It''s a method we often use we fight and fight until we fall down from exhaustion here." Alice bit her finger slightly. Whoops! Drops of blood seemed to flow out, but then a huge barrier broke down on the floor. [[Ellis is Lv??] Implementing the ''Fighting Arena of Fresh Blood''!] A barrier that can maximize the experience and realization when fighting inside the barrier. It was a fighting arena mainly used by young blood relatives of the Ataraxia family to perform rites of passage. "Are you fighting with me my sister?" Andria looked at Elise cautiously. I usually sparring with Elise, but there is a big difference in skill between the two. Because Ellis mainly enjoyed long-distance combat, it didn''t match well with Andria, who specialized in close-range combat. This means you have more time to be beaten than to learn. Considering that... . No, I''ll do it. Elise is not suited to this job. Jinhyuk took out ''fangs'' from the subspace inventory. Whoops. The green dagger was gently wrapped around his right hand. "Jinhyuk you are the Primary God who introduced me directly ." Andria clenched her fists with a sad expression on her face. From her point of view, Jinhyuk is truly a god. He is the savior who changed the dark past. As a ranker who swept away the psychiatric ward with overwhelming dance, Andria''s emotions were more intense than she had imagined. Andria also held two 30cm long daggers in each hand. Still, he had trained quite a bit with Ellis, so his posture was so firm that it could not be compared to when we first met. After becoming the boss, I didn''t even have to talk about the rise of mana. "I''m not going to look after you, so try your best too." Yes. I will do my best. Andria nodded her head. starting with it. fault! Andria moved first. The distance narrowed in an instant using vampires'' unique movement skills. The dagger rotated counterclockwise and aimed at Jinhyuk''s body. Kaaan! Two swords crossed with a light metallic sound. What followed was a splendid sword dance that was hard to discern with the naked eye. front and back left and right. Each attack was terrifying to the extent that sparring was insignificant. If someone you didn''t know saw it, you would believe that they were fighting a serious swordsmanship. But. An attack like that. Jinhyuk accepted it with ease. Kaka Kaka Kaka! ''!'' Andria bit her lip. Until now, to become a more perfect boss monster, I had been focusing on training day and night. To catch up with Jinhyuk, even one step at a time. To help Jinhyuk on his way, even a little. He risked his life and devoted himself to becoming stronger. nevertheless. ''It is not narrowed down.'' The gigantic wall at first sight had not been lowered in the slightest. On the contrary, the more they attacked, the more the despair seemed to deepen. The difference in skill between the two was obvious. Despite the difference in skill between the two, Jinhyuk well adjusted the speed and depth of Sparring so that Andria could unleash her full potential. Almost perfect for eye level education. Elise, who was watching, shook her head in shock. Really, every time I see him fighting, he gets stronger. If I go on like this, I think it will be difficult to handle even if my seal is broken? Ellis...-sama. What is that! Anyway, that''s the case. No way, comparing a single human to Elise-sama... Do you really think so? Nonsense? Seriously, it''s ridiculous to say this. The absolute of the tower. best bloodline. Because the existence that even the six families feared was the existence of Ellis von Ataraxia. But why? Alice felt it instinctively. There is not much time left for that gorgeous modifier to sustain. As time goes by, a new rank will emerge among the many powerful in the tower. ''It''s not bad though.'' My self-esteem wasn''t hurt. because . Because the person who was that strong was the person who made a contract with him. And that person will remember the promise you made with him. With that thought in mind, Elise stretched out for a long time as if satisfied. If you don''t know, just watch. It looks different depending on the original level. All right. Belus nodded reluctantly. However. Sparring, who had thought it would drag on a little longer, announced the end unexpectedly abruptly. [You have received a video call request.] A status window appeared in front of Jinhyuk. The sender is Teresa. The place is Europe. By the way. That Europe... So much had changed from what everyone knew. CH 196 . Burning Call (2) Jinhyuk... Mr. Theresa''s face turned white. There was only despair lingering on his face, where the blood had disappeared. This. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. The view behind Teresa. The city, smeared with smoke and blood, was no longer a splendid cultural center. I knew what this was. ''Outbreak.'' It was an aftermath from the air raids of large-scale monsters, completely different from the three major despair manifested in Beijing, China. Please... help us. Too many people... now... Theresa seemed to be almost exhausted, as if she had fought with all her might. The reason I couldn''t even ask for support until this happened was probably because I was saving time and saving people. ''The damage is greater than I thought.'' The words Are you okay? ran up to my throat, but at that moment, ripples began to form on the screen. [[Lv??] Video chat is forcibly closed due to ''gray fog''.] The connection was cut with a crackling sound. At the same time, Teresa''s appearance also disappeared. Only the unfocused pupils and trembling lips remain like afterimages. " " Jinhyuk clenched his fist with a stiff face. The worst situations came to mind one after another, but surprisingly, my head was cold. Don''t panic. One minute and one second is urgent. The important thing now is to derive the best results from the information given. What are you going to do? Elise, who had been watching silently, opened her mouth. Andria, who was next to him, looked at Jinhyuk with a worried expression. Elise. You take over Andria''s education instead. This is so important that it should never be delayed. What are you going to do? I... should go to the Awakened Association first. In such a situation, the associations of each country must be on the verge of an emergency. For more immediate information, go to the association. Hmm. After all, it looks like you''re going to the rescue. But, is there really a need for that? Whether an Outbreak occurs in Europe or not is irrelevant to us, isn''t it? On the surface, the idealistic idea of saving all humans is nothing more than a light apricot. When an outbreak occurs, victims are inevitably bound to come out. Ellis was saying that it would be better to focus on their growth during that time. That''s right. That''s correct, but... . I don''t know anything else, but I can''t stand it when someone in my company retires at will. Promoting the rights and interests of shareholders is the cornerstone of the company''s growth. Above all, you can leave this company only when the boss fires you. It''s like you. Well, that''s why I like it more. Elise shrugged. And he quickly added a word. But is it okay without me? The guy who came down now... he''s not that kind. I''m roughly expecting it too. Combining the clues captured on the screen, the floor where the Outbreak occurred was on the 14th floor. However, it is a structure in which Outbreak cannot occur on the 14th floor. The guy who ruled that floor had no interest in anything other than the floor he ruled. Still, that this happened means that someone intervened. And at this point, there was only one guy who had to tie the hands and feet of the players. as soon as . It was moved on the side of Moorim. Perhaps, as a paladin, weakening Teresa, who can become a force to the empire, and the forces following her must also be part of their plan. ''They didn''t already have a favorite corner, but they even did this... This is it.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes turned cold. The Tower of Trials appeared and the world changed, but in fact, most people were unaware of the dangers of the Tower. It''s a natural thing. It was the players who had awakened to climb the tower. The rest of the people just stood by the outside, and all they did was pray for them to climb the tower safely. I believed that such a peaceful daily life would last forever. Just until today. Kie-ee! Kurre... From low-level monsters including ghouls and zombies. Even medium-sized and large-scale monsters with a mysterious and terrible appearance. A huge number of undead monsters roamed the road, wandering in search of living humans. kuung! Whoops... Whoops! Collapsing bricks and burning streets. The army that was trying to respond clumsily was destroyed immediately after the Outbreak, and nearby players were also swept away by the aftermath. About 50,000 people were injured due to the first Outbreak alone. Considering the time of 12 hours, it can''t be a huge scale. Damn it... Whew. Whoo. Whoo. please please. Five or six men and women were gathered in the shopping mall across the intersection. ''Olympus'', one of the 7 major guilds and the largest in Europe They were the players of the guild. The most notable among them was Maria, who had risen to the ranks of arch mages. A level where you can create 2 or more 6 circle magic at the same time. Maria was gathering the few surviving players and timing out how to get out of this hell. ''You have to find a gap.'' You have to find a place where the siege is loose and escape there. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Maria gathered mana while using wide-area detection magic. The situation wasn''t good enough that I didn''t know how many people had already survived, but I didn''t want to give up on everything. But that was then. trembling Something was caught in Maria''s senses. ''This feeling... .'' mana that cools down to the brain. A sticky feeling of discomfort engulfed my whole body. [The target sees your presence!] Creepy! Goosebumps rose up along my spine. there is no way to know How could you not know? A being who became too addicted to magic and sold his soul to the Demon King. Instead of being promised eternal life, the worst sorcerer who became a white bone. Lich... Maria looked up at the sky with eyes full of fear. I wondered if there were dark clouds in the cloudless sky, and then purple-colored magic circles appeared one by one. It''s not double casting. triple . No, maybe even higher than that... . Oh my gosh... "A city a wide-area magic that covers the entire area." Hey, how can you beat this monster? Since they were all made up of magical players, everyone was aware of how absurd the level of magic that is being expressed is now. Desperate skill car. At their level, even after 1000 years, even the toes of this monster will not be able to keep up. [Lich activates his unique ability ''The Return of the Specter''.] The sky turned black. At the same time. kukuku kuk kuk! An indescribable aura began to engulf Europe. Korea Awakened Association. In the conference room of more than 100 pyeong, all the rankers who are considered to be the best in Korea were gathered. Cha Yun-kyung, a ranker of the same guild as the master of the Dangun Guild, Gyu-ho Moon. Like Gong Min-woo of the Fight Against Guild, Yoo Jin-ah is the sub-guild master. Lastly, to Jinhyuk, who is officially an independent. Five of Korea''s top players were convened urgently. There''s a lot of tension going on. The mana that filled the room was so sharply captured that an ordinary person could not stand it. That would be proof that everyone is extremely nervous. indeed . ''Is this because the situation is the situation.'' Since the Tower of Trials appeared, Outbreak has occurred several times, but this is the first time that it has caused such a huge amount of damage. It wasn''t just a hole, it was a level where the dimension and the dimension were connected. Because of that, an emergency meeting was held to help Europe around the world. Jinhyuk glanced around. ''It''s quite spectacular to have these members gather in one place.'' They were celebrities who said it was difficult enough to see them in real life. In particular, Mun Gyu-ho of the Dangun Guild is the most veiled person among them. Since I was more focused on finding hidden labyrinths and relics than climbing the tower, I hardly did any outside activities. For that reason, almost nothing was known about him. ''I heard rumors that he changed his body to become stronger, but... .'' I''m a little curious as to why. That was then. rumble. The door opened, and the person who called the meeting appeared. Sangjin Han is the president of the Korea Awakened Association. All eyes were turned to one side. Thank you for coming together even though you are busy. I don''t have time, so I''ll skip the verbose greetings and tell you the situation right away. After Han Sang-jin briefly expressed his gratitude, he brought up the main topic. The real-time situation in Europe appeared on a huge screen in the center of the conference room. "As everyone knows, gates have appeared all over Europe due to the current Outbreak. A total of five confirmed so far. One Class A and four Class B. The damage is estimated to be over 100,000 people 14 hours later. Of course these numbers are growing exponentially even as we are talking now." Are you saying that Outbreak came out with an A? Gong Min-woo of the Brawl Fathers Guild frowned. It''s surprising that five Outbreaks appeared at the same time... Class A. " " The rest of them also felt that the situation was more serious than they thought, so their expressions hardened even more. yea that''s the way it is It''s a B-class, so even one raid of any guild is enough to deal with it. From Class A, the dimension is completely different. The reality was that at least five raids were required, and even that was unsuccessful. In addition, the difficulty varied according to the type of boss, so if an outbreak involving an A-grade gate occurred, it was inevitable to have a headache in devising a countermeasure. Based on the mana estimate, the associations and intelligence agencies of each country consider it to be Class A. Is this the dungeon-side Outbreak? Or... This time, Cha Yun-kyung opened her mouth. There are three types of Outbreak. A dungeon, a labyrinth, or a ruin. Even with the same Class A, the risk varies greatly depending on which outbreak occurred in any of the three locations. If it was the dungeon, it was worth trying, but . If it was a labyrinth or, in the worst case, an outbreak connected to the ruins, then even if the guilds were united, they had to be prepared for huge damage. However. Not all three. in the words that follow. The representatives of each guild felt that the hope they were holding had completely vanished. The enemy we need to eliminate is ''Lich''. The boss monster in charge of one floor. And he has already used ''The Second Coming of the Wraith'' to completely take over Western Europe as his territory. The pain in my head cannot be described in words. This is because the boss-level Lich is different from the general Lich. ...the president of the association, do you know the meaning of what you are saying? Moon Kyu-ho, who had been silent all along, spoke for the first time. The only way to kill Lich, who performed ''The Second Coming of the Specter'', is to use magic, not physical attacks. However, the ranker with the highest level of magic skill among the existing players is currently in Europe. And the fact that the Olympus guild with such a ranker is asking for help from outside... . This means that Lich''s skills are several steps above Maria''s. It is a mission that is almost suicidal. At least. Everyone but one thought so. ''There is no one who can win in a magic war... .'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. CH 197 . Immortal Archmage (1) The Royal Palace in Amsterdam has been turned into ruins. This place, which had a strong smell of death, has now become a rock palace ruled by Lich. And now, the five men and women who visited this place were moving to the deepest part of the palace. It was Dangso with Zhugalcheon, Hwangbogunak, and Namgunghyeon. The four, belonging to Moorim, were smashed by Jinhyuk after using the mart as their base on the 4th floor, where ''Zombie Wave'' is the main mission. They were held accountable for this and have been waiting for the day when they will recover their blemishes by repeating training in their respective schools. I can finally repay the humiliation suffered by that vulgar human. Dang Soha grinded her molars. It was the same with the other three that had accumulated emotions. I''m glad Jang Mun-in gave me another chance. Who are you? Damn it. I thought I was going to die from a moth. But, why did Meng entrust this task to a corpse that moves through magic? In response to Hwangbogunak''s question, the fifth and last person opened his mouth. It was a woman with short short hair and a long sword on her shoulder. Isn''t that because it''s useful? And no matter what the above is ordered, you just have to follow it without questioning it. A soldier with an idea loses its value as a soldier. Late index of ''Hwasan (Aɽ)'', one of the 9 waves. It was ''Baekseollin'' with the nickname of Seolungeom (ѩ년). Sullin Baek was also one of the first sleepy dragons to break the wall of climax and approached the state of climax among the late exponents of Moorim. "It is yes, but " Hwangbo-gunak clouded the tail of his horse. Even so, it didn''t seem like a member of a noble faction would like to do business with Lich. Once again, we are at war with the Empire. There is no room for covering up means and methods when there is information that the Heavenly Demon has ended its closure. This is one of the reasons why Moorim moves so quickly. A double-edged sword called Heavenly Demon. As it moves, it could become a weapon that can destroy an empire. Conversely, if the tip of his sword was directed at Moorim, the whole mountain and spring could be stained with blood immediately. Although Kunlun, located near Mt. Hundae, was closely watching the movements of the magic bridge, Heavenly Demon or Dark Huang. If the Seven Great Masters of Magical School, including Sim Ma-saryeong, start in earnest, it would be impossible to stop it with Kunlun alone. In the end, it goes without saying that such variables consume as much of the empire as possible before causing a chain reaction. It was necessary to exert influence outside the tower so that players who received the protection and attention of the Empire could not support them. Upon hearing Baek Sullin''s explanation, the rest of the people soon shut their mouths. Having said this, I had no choice but to recognize how things were going as long as I had a brain. After a while, when we arrived at the center of the palace, the boss monster that dominates the 14th floor finally appeared. Lich. The immortal sorceress wearing a black crown was seeing everything on the throne. It is a maddening mana. Even if the opponent is a Moorim who dominates a much higher floor. It''s late. Humans live in a fleeting moment, don''t they even know the value of time? Lich opened his mouth. The blue eyes were sharp as if piercing through the five Moorim. ! Dare...! I apologize. We had our own circumstances. Zhuge Chun flinched, but Baek Sullin stepped forward one step ahead. Then Lich''s eyes softened even more. If you need help, tell me. Everything on the land is already obeying my orders. If there are annoying ones, I can take care of them. It''s inside the tower, so I don''t think it''ll be of any help here. She shook her head as if she didn''t need Baek Sullin. Then, suddenly, something inside the palace took my attention. To be precise, to one person who is perfectly bound. Who is that woman? Among all the people in Europe, he''s the only human who made me happy. He''s got a lot of interesting energy mixed in, so I''m keeping him alive. Lich waved his hand lightly. Pants! Uh... ah... A woman tied to a dark red rope sobbed thinly. Beautiful blonde hair and green eyes. The white armor was stained with blood and dust, but its integrity was not lost. Amsterdam''s Lady. It''s Teresa. Teresa stayed until the end to save the city and fought back. He even burned his own life to save even one more person. But. All those efforts turned to nothing. No matter how hard she tried, her sword couldn''t reach Lich. As a result, an unimaginably large number of people were killed or taken prisoner. And Teresa, who had to stare at all of it helplessly, had to struggle so much that she thought that she would rather die. There is no saint who saved Amsterdam in the past. There is only a girl crying in despair and frustration. The mana flowing from Lich''s hand grew even thicker. Aww! In the human body, where light and darkness are mixed. The interesting subject matter was a temptation that was too sweet for Lich, a sorceress to the bone, to endure. "You will struggle with more and more suffering." What happens when two different inclinations collide with each other? It seemed that the intuition would be released only by checking the result. Korea, USA, Japan, India, Russia. A total of five countries have decided to send troops to support Europe. Lich could only inflict damage with magic-type attacks, but The rest of the attacks were also common to other undead monsters, so as many players as possible participated in the raid. There are three Korean teams. The Dangun Guild, led by Kyu-Ho Moon as the engineering leader, is attacking France. Gong Min-woo''s commander of the engineering team, the Raids of Brawlers Guild, took charge of the whole of Italy. Then Jinhyuk took some personally selected personnel and headed to the place where Teresa last contacted. Boo woo woo! A military transport plane flies through the clouds. The exit of the European gate inside the tower was highly likely to have been occupied by the Undead. Therefore, all raids had to choose land, sea or air. I''m flying a military plane I''ve never flown before in the military. Jinhyuk looked around while holding on to his seat belt. Let''s see. Various military equipment that I had only seen in movies caught my eye, but the most striking thing stood out to me the most. Burgers say fries. Now this guy felt like an indispensable set menu. Especially now, without Elise. But don''t complain too much. If Teresa-san died like this, wouldn''t even you have trouble sleeping? Isn''t that why you brought me here because you were worried about my bed? No. Is it because I''m really worried about you? Do you not trust me? Believe in you? About the subject of kidnapping a sleeping person in the middle of the night. Are you daring to talk about the word faith now? Chunkyung! iron crack! bang! kwaang! Cheon Yuseong twisted his body violently. However, the chains made of runes and barriers tightly bound Cheonyuseong''s body, so his hand could not even reach the sword. No matter who you are, you did a wonderful job of tying the chain once. You''ll have a lot of fun later. That''s why you used a particularly weak anesthetic. Besides, I''m going to the limbs, but there''s no other colleague I can leave behind as much as you. These words are sincere. When you go to hell, there will be no comrades with the same swordsmanship. The biggest reason was that it was good to use as a body bread. You say that...! Cheon Yu-seong glowed even more and shook his body. meanwhile Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, who were sitting next to Jin-hyuk, helped out one word at a time. Oops, are you kidding me in this situation? I really respect you in many ways. I respect you. The hyungs don''t seem to be even nervous. Haha. So it''s more reliable... Laughter mixed with self-deprecating laughter came out of their mouths. Because I never imagined that there would be a human who could laugh and talk while walking from life to life. In the past, they had heard the voices of the dead in their own way, but . What? In front of Jinhyuk, do you feel like a limitless newb? But inside everyone knew. To break the tension by making such a nonsensical sound. Showing too much confidence even in the urgency of putting your life on the line. It''s all about Jinhyuk''s own consideration so that he doesn''t lose hope for them. Finally, Wolyeong, who had followed like a shadow, was sitting at the entrance of the transport plane, looking out the window as if anxious. Because science is all about watching the waterwheel spin, and suddenly he''s flying in the sky. Of course, I must be anxious. By the way, who else is that guy? I don''t think he''s an ordinary player? Ah... he? He''s one of the pupils I''m raising. The first disciple is Andriago, who is now earnestly being educated by Elise. The second is that guy. If it is the best memorized memorization of the Black Punghoe, it would be perfect for making a disciple. I was planning to grow it well in the future and then use it usefully. Your breathing and movement are quite high-level... but it''s a pity. I''m sure you''ll be caught and that talent won''t even sprout. Cheon Yoosung clicked his tongue. Hey. To be honest, if it''s me... However, as soon as Jinhyuk opened his mouth to strongly refute that statement. Aww! Suddenly, there was a huge roar and the fuselage of the transport plane shook violently. It''s not just about meeting turbulence. It is different from that. Everyone, hold on tight! The pilot shouted for his throat to burst. At the same time. puff puff! Aww! A flame the size of a house exploded beyond the window. The transport planes that were going side by side began to be smashed in pieces. enemy It''s too many to count. The gargoyles that filled the window were flying over the transport planes and eating random people inside. I still have quite a bit of time left to arrive in Europe... . ''Have you already taken over the sea?'' Things were worse than I thought. The fact that they crawled out into the sea meant that the inland had already been devastated. And at that very moment. [You are mere creatures. I shadow what came to my realm. As a reward for coming a long way with pain, I will make everyone find rest in the sea.] A sharp sound of metal scraping the eardrum resounded across the sky. brother! Master. It''s dangerous! Yoo Yeon-hwa and Wol-young reflexively loosened their seat belts. Cheon Yuseong had already finished preparing for battle with his sword drawn out. However, since everyone specializes in close combat, they only had to keep their balance in the plane. Tongue, hyung! I... I''ll try to stop it somehow! Taemin Lee, who was the only one capable of air combat, sent the drones out using ''Machine Lord''. Drones armed with firearms formed a defensive formation centered on transport planes. Kie-ee! - Wow! I tried to protect the transport plane by firing various elemental bombs like that, but... . Gargoyles affected by ''The Second Coming of the Specter'' had physical resistance several times higher than usual. Above all, it was impossible to deal with hundreds of gargoyles with only a dozen combat drones. But right then. [Glacier modeling .] He released the mana that Jinhyuk had gathered at once. Guests are coming in. Pants Tits! The cold air gathered in one place and realized a single shape. A huge sphere reminiscent of a white moon. Open your mouth. [''Thousand Year Ice Jade'' is blooming!] The ice sphere shattered. Thousands and tens of thousands of shattered fragments began to fill the air. there''s nowhere to escape All the skies I could see were already under the realm of the Millennium Ice Jade. Padded . damn! Any moisture in the air freezes. Even the gargoyles that flew in the sky turned into ice statues, leaving nothing behind. CH 198 . Immortal Archmage (2) [this Magic is... ?] Something strange happened in Lich''s voice, which was so maddening. I had no choice but to do so. I was convinced that it would not be easy to use magic that could destroy a single gargoyle at the level of humans today. In fact, while swept across Europe, the damage from undead monsters was almost non-existent. Of course, if you build an air defense system of this level, it was normal that at least 80% of the intruders could be thrown into the sea. By the way. To use such a level of wide-area magic without blinking an eye. It is not at the level that the sense or speed of implementing a circle is ''excellent''. [Is it at a level that can be reinterpreted and molded to a higher level?] Even Lichs who have been immersed in magic for hundreds of years are not easy. It was an unbelievable sight. Surprisingly, the rest of the people standing next to Jinhyuk as if protecting him were the same. ''It''s been awhile since we''ve met that you''ve grown so much in the meantime?'' ''I knew he was an all-rounder, but what the hell is hyung''s ability? I hoped that, even with Lich, who specializes in magic, he wouldn''t be pushed back.'' Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min swallowed dry saliva. It was too much for them to hone their skills. Jinhyuk, who can show such overwhelming majesty in all distances, was simply surprising. Wol-young looked at Jin-hyuk with surprised eyes like a rabbit. In Moorim, the class that best understood and handled the ice attribute Mugong was Bukhaegung. From birth, each individual has a high affinity for the cold, to the extent that he has been living in heavy snow and wind in his bed. Among them, Gaju of Bukhae Palace was evaluated as a genius among geniuses with both talent and hard work. However, it is different. ''I''ve only met the Bukhae Palace in person once... It is certainly.'' I can see the master now, Primary God Mugong... . There must have been a few numbers above that of the North Sea Palace. "My lord When did you achieve such a great level of ice and white magic? Judging from the brief insight of your subordinates, it seems that you have almost reached a higher level than the lord of Bukhae Palace ." uhm. Surprisingly sensitive parts are asked first. I can''t tell you the truth, so I''ll have to make up my own words here. Where do you want to be? Jinhyuk pondered for a moment, then spat out a word without saliva on his lips. Isn''t it good enough to pick up and eat one perennial ginseng from the Empress''s remark? Ah... Amhwang-nim''s, or rather, ginseng? Are you saying that you took it whole? Huh. If you think about it a little bit, it was nonsense, but Wolyeong would have no choice but to believe it. Have you ever seen perennial ginseng at Heukpunghoe? It''s probably the only way I''ve heard that a promising late-stage index of the 9th ate it, or that Magico''s Heavenly Demon ate it as a snack. finally . Cheon Yu-seong, who looked very dissatisfied with something, muttered to himself. If only a little while, I was going to take care of everything. It was a bonus that I was very depressed. Yeah, yeah. He must have been. "I mean, it really is! The formula of the shogun sword that I recently learned ." Cheon Yoo-seong tried to refute it, but Jin-hyuk''s interest had already turned to Lich. So. That''s all Shadow greetings? If that''s the case, I''m really disappointed... [disappointed? Did I say that I was disappointed now that I managed to deal with a bunch of gargoyles?] First impression is the most important thing. If you look at it once, you can see the overall level. Or maybe, ''These guys are the weakest among my subordinates'', aren''t you planning on making a statement from the Goguryeo era? I''m skeptical, but I hope it''s not possible. Because it was too obvious. However, it seems that expectations are never wrong. Lich''s voice stopped like a lie. [ ] .] hey I was just startled. It''s really annoying trying to make a comment like that. Why the hell are we wasting time with each other like that? Don''t put a weak guy out there and look at the liver. Why can''t we just burn a few Death Knights on something like a bone dragon and do something like a Dragon Knight? I don''t know if you''re going to give yourself time to grow while taking out the weak ones step by step, but I think you''re stupid for a boss. If it were me, I would have sent out the most reliable subordinates from the beginning and took pictures and pressed them down. ttttttttttttttttttttt Jinhyuk clicked his tongue openly. By the way. [That''s a good idea. It''s probably more important to deal with you than to protect this place.] Lich didn''t deny that. Rather, he actively accepted Jinhyuk''s proposal. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo There was a crack in the air. 1m 2m 5m . The black gates blazing with flames began to expand rapidly. large gate. It was the Bone Dragon, which was 20 meters long, that came over from there. Koooooooh! The atmosphere was turbulent. The magnificence that makes even estimating the level insignificant. The overwhelming size and overflowing mana Even if it was a dead body, the word Dragon had no choice but to be called a Dragon. Moreover, above the Dragon, there were even knights with black armor and swords in rune language. Death Knight. It is the strongest melee monster in the undead world that deals with Aura. " " The three Death Knights scatter a thick glare from behind their helmets. As if proving that he was a knight in his lifetime, the captured momentum was as if seeing a new recruit. Damn it! Are you a disaster with that mouth! Unbearable, Cheon Yooseong spit out a swear word. I don''t know why this guy is angry because he said he''d take care of everything a while ago, but he''s actually laying the plates. Above all, now, this is not just a blow from bluffing. Provoking him and summoning a powerful gatekeeper to this place. That was what Jinhyuk was also aiming for. '' You''re caught.'' If it is normal, it is a destination that will have to be reached with a lot of time and effort. How many enemies will it take and how long will it take to get there? However, thanks to the open gate, there is no reason to waste time. If you use a gate that allows two-way traffic, you can always go to where Lich is. ''Normal gate holding time is about 10 minutes.'' You have to fight in it. Jinhyuk quickly activated the subspace inventory. Such a gigantic, sluggish military transport aircraft would not be able to avoid the Dragon''s attack. If so, you must come up with an appropriate countermeasure. To Jinhyuk''s call, the sweet potatoes and the spirits responded. mosquito! It seems that the sequence arrangement has been completed within the subspace inventory. Seeing the other guys sneaking a glance behind the sweet potato. Jinhyuk got on the back of the sweet potato. Go up one by one. Hurry up. Realizing that they had no choice but to fight now, everyone hurriedly took on a single spirit beast. And if you drop them into the sea, you''re leaving the world on that day. You know? Well, don''t worry. I''ll do well! Only trust us, Master! Yeah. I just practiced making wings and worked really hard. Everyone be quiet. It''s noisy. The spirit beasts used their unique properties to create wings that could fly. Then, take care of yourself. The pilot wished good luck. That moment when everyone came out of the transport plane. A full-scale aerial battle began. It was the flame of the Salamander that signaled the start. A long, slender flame struck the side of the Bone Dragon. Aww! The explosion was accompanied by a thick smoke. Aiming at the gap, the ice arrow Jinhyuk made flew like lightning. But. Kaga! It was not enough to penetrate the Dragon bone. It''s a natural story, but it''s an unbelievable defense. In order to inflict damage, you must have a 9th class or higher magic... Or maybe you need a ''sword sword'' that is evaluated as the strongest in physical power. Cheon Yoo-seong also came to Jin-hyuk''s side as he thought the same thing. You must approach the sword as far as it can reach. If you and I work together, we will be able to defeat the Death Knights and put an end to the Bone Dragon. Bone Dragon also moves through ''Dragon Heart''. Although Lich did the processing with black magic, it had the same weakness as any other Dragon. However, it was the time when Cheon Yu-seong was trying to put the center of gravity forward. trembling The sensations all over his body went numb. Pants... ! Seeing the mana on Bone Dragon''s mouth, Jinhyuk shouted. damage! KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The concentrated acidic liquid crossed the air in a straight line. The clouds parted and the waves burned. Chi profit! The water vapor obscured my vision. ''I can''t even pick up the bones if I rub them.'' Jinhyuk, who barely avoided the attack, looked at his colleagues. Fortunately, no one was attacked. As if everyone had gone through all the antenatal trials, somehow they succeeded in twisting their bodies. However. All of that is just a matter of time. No matter how fast the spirit beasts fly. Because he couldn''t get away from Dragon. [I''ll tell you that there''s no use in avoiding like a mouse! That''s it!] Lich shouted. At the same time. [[Bone Dragon is Lv??] Activate ''Fear''!] An irresistible sense of intimidation engulfed my whole body. An authority that only Dragon can use. The strongest power that despises all living things. ''Pier'' This . Big! The body... it doesn''t move... The body of the spirit beasts froze in overwhelming fear. kukuku kuk kuk kuk! Breath began to condense again. If it is priced like this, there will be no choice but to use the strong acid without moving. However, there was one thing Lich didn''t expect. The peers used by Dragon also have classes. And the fact that it is the ancient species that uses the strongest peer. [Sweet Potato activates Lv4 ''Fear''!] Mooooogi! The pressure was gone. No, rather, the mana that was forming on the bone dragon''s jaw was greatly shaken. It was affected by the bloom of sweet potatoes. Even if it''s a living ancient-class Dragon, you can''t just smash it with a corpse. What is above the skill level is the hierarchical relationship of skill. The dragon means that it can never surpass the ancient species. The sweet potato proudly spread its wings. ''Yes. This is my pet.'' Jinhyuk gently stroked the sweet potato''s hair. [that Maybe a little reptile... What do you mean by ancient species? Such nonsense... . How can humans tame an ancient species? can not believe it. That''s never going to happen!] Lich muttered in disbelief. Of course, it doesn''t matter if he believes or not. Now! Yes! Brother! In response to Jinhyuk''s signal, Lee Taemin''s drone switched mana bullets to special bullets. Paang! Various mana were intricately mixed in the blue smoke. Naturally, confusion will come to the undead who know the location of the target with the reverberation of mana. That was the signal. With Jinhyeok in the lead, Cheon Yoosung and Lee Taemin and Yoo Yeonhwa were scattered all over the place. Wolyeong moved downwards violently. Koooooooh! Bone Dragon shook his head left and right. Pants! uuung! The Death Knights riding on top also raised their Aura blades to prepare for the coming surprise. Instinctively, he realized that the present moment was the most dangerous. front and back, left and right, Enemies can come from anywhere. There, the opponent had enough force to inflict damage on them. You must not be vigilant. Before the final decisive battle, a gloomy energy lingered. By the way. The scene that followed was once again far beyond expectations. [Hey, what the hell is this?!] Lich, in rage, shouted a shattered throat. CH 199 . Immortal Archmage (3) Pants... . Since I counted exactly 10 minutes, the gate closed as soon as Jinhyuk and his party passed through the gate. The visible landscape has changed. Instead of the rough sea and the dark cloudy sky, an antique European-style palace appeared. A garden full of blackened flowers. There were quite a few undead monsters, including Lich, the culprit of this Outbreak. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. ''It wasn''t all over.'' There are still about five Death Knights left. Although they were two levels lower than those who were riding the bone dragon, the Death Knight is still a Death Knight. A combination of a knight and a lich that can use Aura blades means that they have at least a minimum of assortment that can still be defended. If the ''bastards'' in there join in, we can''t be sure of victory yet. ''Because the first priority is to rescue Teresa above all else.'' Jinhyuk''s gaze turned to the other side. I couldn''t see it, but I could feel a strong mana beyond the garden. A mixture of good and evil. I felt a mixture of the will to protect the spirit and the desire to subdue and corrupt the spirit. Even at this moment, it must have been that he was holding on to consciousness with all his might. ''At most, 30 minutes is the limit.'' The fall of the saint was also intentional, but it could lead to an irreversible situation if the timing and circumstances were not perfectly coordinated. An uncontrolled nuclear bomb can act as a double-edged sword. That was when Jinhyuk was arranging various situations. The enraged Lich flagged. It''s like you''re having a head-to-head match and then you''re coming out of the gate I opened like a rat! Do you have no pride at all? I''m sure you''ll raise the atmosphere a lot and take advantage of the confusion to cross over to the gate. Even Demon Clans, who consider hitting the back of the head a virtue, don''t do that. However. Lich didn''t know. The fact that even such Demon Clans shake their heads is the fact that they are still standing. Jinhyuk shot him as if he was asking for something obvious. I''m not stupid. Is there any reason to fight the Bone Dragon or Death Knights? If it''s a righteous knight, it might be that he''s talking about honor and other things and getting along with it. now at war It means that we should pursue only the best efficiency regardless of means and methods. And even in the present situation, the best thing is to steal the opponent''s power, weaken it, and then directly remove the enemy''s boss. Jinhyuk quickly activated the ''Eyes of Gluttony''. [Beyrodum] Race: Undead Age: 3005 Level: 91 Strength 55 Dexterity 60 Stamina 45 mana 213 Unique Ability: Anti-Magic skill: Lv19 ''Elemental Magic'', Lv18 ''Black Magic'', Lv18 ''Necromancer'', Lv18 ''Undead Manufacturing'', Lv17 ''Curse'' What: Beirodum was once a great sorcerer of the Empire who climbed towers, but after realizing his own limitations and despairing, he became a Lich through a contract with the Demon King. He is fluent in black magic as well as the magic of the 5 elements, and is ready to take any risk or cost for his intellectual exploration. [Copy condition: Lich who has always despised all beings since becoming Lich. If you let him experience the bitter taste of life, he will be able to copy one of his skills.] A boss monster that directly belongs to the higher Demon Clan and rules the 14th floor at the same time. That''s Lich''s ''Beyrodum''. After checking the copy conditions, Jinhyuk''s lips gently moved upwards. After that, a skill that can be used quite usefully in climbing the tower stood out. ''If it''s to show the bitter taste of life, that''s my specialty.'' A rough composition of how to cook was drawn in my mind. To design, first . Jinhyuk lightly whispered something to the sweet potato''s ear. Contempt (ҕ) includes disdain for others. However, ignoring means not paying attention to the existence value of the object at all. puddle... . In that sense, Beirodum had to feel the indescribable rage right now. ''dare Are you trying to do something different with me in front of you?'' He admits that he possesses magical skills that can be used even for a human. It was also acceptable to come to this place by stumbling. But. All of this is limited when considering the level of insignificant humans. "If you thought that using a trick like this would work you would be making a big mistake." Beirodum stretched out his hand again. If the gate is closed, just reopen it. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The space shook, and the gate that had been closed a while ago was about to open again. However. A hole the size of an adult fist quickly disappeared. There was nothing wrong with the magic. How could an archmage who had dealt with magic all his life make a mistake? This . The activation of the magic itself was completely destroyed. You read my recipe...? Such nonsense...! It is a technique in which several layers of bypass circuits are overlapped to prevent external interference. However, it is impossible to read such a complex blueprint and change the circuit. Even if... Even if the subject is you. I don''t know when I''m far away, but at this distance, I can interfere enough. The level of magic isn''t too high, so it''s not too difficult. Don''t be ridiculous. On the subject of a human who can''t live for at least 100 years... who dares to discuss magic in front of you! I''m an immortal mage! Lich let out an angry voice. At the same time, the air began to tremble violently. [Holy relics This is open!] A black cube dice appeared in front of Beirodum. Instead of dotted with numbers, each side was marked with red runes and pictures. Is it a black dice? ...!? At Jinhyuk''s muttering, Beirodum''s eye light shook greatly. "Yes, you how do you know about these dice?" I had a fight for three days and three nights with a guy who understood this dice much better than you did quite a while ago. It''s just strong, but I remember it being quite troublesome to even use that. Neither Lich nor Demon Clan... Demon King. The battle with a monster that far exceeded common sense was an unforgettable memory for the rest of my life. I also fought with that guy... It''s only about Lich. No matter how low the level and stats were. Even if you know how to handle the magical relic, the Black Angle Dice. only. That''s it. Don''t be silly! There''s no way for a human to survive looking at this dice! If it were an ordinary person, of course I would. I''m sorry, but I''m a little far from being ordinary... You just keep making fun of your snout. That''s good. I''ll test whether that statement is true and make it a Treasured sword. Lich flips the die once. A side with a bull pattern and runes wrapped around it appeared. Then at that very moment. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo In front of Jinhyuk''s eyes, a gigantic six-dimensional planet appeared. hot! I could feel the heat on my skin as if it was being burned by fire. Also, a dice is a dice. For a moment, even though ''Glacier Sculpting'' was spread thinly, it was impossible to cancel all the fire. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The ground was shattered, and a terrifying fire, a mixture of flames and volcanic bombs, approached. The shields made by glacial modeling began to evaporate all at once. ''great. If you pretend to be weak here... .'' Jinhyuk glanced to the side. OK. If it''s too heavy, step back. I''ll confirm that I''m higher this time. There is no need for the Lord to come forward against such an evil creature. As if waiting, the two went out at the same time. [Cheon Yuseong activates his unique ability ''Song of the Sword''!] [Wolyoung activates Lv7 ''Black Sky''!] A dazzling brilliance rose from the sword of the heavenly planet. About 10 cm from the sword stained with blue light appeared. When the ritual of ''Chuhon Sword'' was established, a dazzlingly cold sword strike took its form. One sword! The sword strikes to cut the fire crossed horizontally. Pants! The sword of Wolyeong also had a blue and black energy. The black sky''s unique blue light and the dark blue light were mixed. Uh-huh... If the celestial sword is to deflect the enemy''s attack... . This is a double sword to stop the enemy''s breath. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Two Basic Forms pierced the flames in one blow and headed for Beirodum. ! Beirodum quickly turned the dice. This time, patterns and runes in the shape of a turtle''s shell appeared. Although the scope is fixed, it is a shield with ''absolute judgment''. Aww! Sword Qi was blocked by a transparent shield and shattered. However, Beirodum''s body staggered greatly, perhaps not being able to absorb all the shock. You''ve got some pretty troublesome skills. That guy named Lich... Cheon Yoosung clicked his tongue. Then he nodded his head towards Jinhyuk. This is the soul sword that I recently completed. As you can see, even Lich, who is stumped, can''t compete with this sword. uh... . It''s like an elementary school student who got 100 dictation points at school. ''good job'' Do I have to take a picture of Dojo and even stroke my hair? "Who are you who dares to speak recklessly to the lord? Do you know who this person is?" This time, Wolyoung exuded a terrifying life. Cheon Yoo-seong, who was talking to Jin-hyeok, was angry. Of course, it was not Cheon Yooseong who would sit still after hearing such a word. What else are you? I am the shadow serving the master. I am Wolyeong. Whether it''s a shadow or a Nabal, why are you talking as if you know him well? What''s strange about the sword''s knowledge of its master? It''s ridiculous. I''ve been fighting him for years. No one knows him better than me. You''re talking as if you''re close friends with your lord. But I haven''t heard of you from your lord. That''s probably because that damned Colonel Timoth believes in me more than you. Their voices grew higher and higher. Beirodum was recovering from the shock and was arranging mana, but the two didn''t seem to care about that. Is it time for us to fight now? Can''t you see that Lich is still in good shape? Even if you can bind your feet with a sword for a while, do you have to use a magic attack to get a final blow? I''m begging you, please don''t quarrel. Don''t even try to stab each other. Whether it''s Lich or Nabal, what''s important to me is to fix this cheeky kid''s frizzy hair. The same goes for me. Master. Please tell me. Who is more important to you, the man or his subordinates? It''s like these crazy people. Europe seems to be collapsing, but is it more important to take care of yourself than that? Jinhyuk pressed his temple firmly. Thank you for letting Beirodum''s eyes focus this way thanks to you, but the thought of running a company with these things already gave me a headache. However. The whining and leisure that was close to death soon disappeared. sabak. With the light sound of stepping on the grass. A new person intervened. creepy The air changed rapidly. ...! " !!" " " The eyes of the three men turned to one side at the same time. CH 200 . Sword of Volcano, Snow White sabak. The sound of brushing the grass was too light. As if it did not feel any weight. A figure reminiscent of a single plum blossom. The words of ''beautiful'' could not but come out of the elegance that flowed from the white skin and dark hair. This is a volcano. A member of the 9th faction of Moorim, and a famous family known for possessing the most beautiful swordsmanship. It''s called Volcano White Sullin. Sullin Baek took the lead in some places. There is a sense of freedom in every action. indeed . It seems that it is not a lie to say that Kunlun and the Heavenly Demon Protestantism and surviving clash with each other from time to time. Seeing that the young master, not the headmaster, is so strong. Cheon Yu-seong and Wol-yeong, who were anxious to eat each other, also stopped fighting, probably because they felt that the level of the opponent was not serious. Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, who were seated in the back, also watched the situation sharply with firm faces. However. Only one. Jinhyuk had to struggle to swallow the cheers that erupted from within. ''Big. After all, the more fierce the battlefield, the more fish with bigger seeds.'' The gluttonous eyes had already grasped all the information about the opponent. Name and age, of course. Unique abilities and skills . And even the conditions for copying them. Name: Snow White Gender: Female Age: 25 Level: 115 Strength 51 Dexterity 83 Stamina 56 Strength 172 Unique Ability: Plum Blossom White Cloud Sword (÷년) skill: Lv17 ''Six Swordsmanship (τ)'', Lv17 ''Thirty and Six Swords of Plum Blossom (÷ʮ)'', Lv17 ''Twenty-Four Plum Blossoms Swordsmanship (ʮ÷)'', Lv17 '' new law'' [Copy condition: The mysterious black of the volcano has beauty and splendor at the same time. Among them, Baek Sullin is a late index with outstanding skills, and the pride in the name of the volcano goes beyond imagination. After letting her draw out all her powers. If you can avoid all the feasts for 5 minutes, you will be able to copy one of Baek Sullin''s unique abilities and skills.] I don''t know if it''s simply blocking or offsetting. Reading all the trajectories and avoiding them is a completely different story. Even more so if it''s against a master who''s like Baek Seol-lin. Besides Baek Sullin, there were several other men and women behind her. The members of the Moorim we met during the zombie wave. It was Dangso with Zhugalcheon, Hwangbogunak, and Namgunghyeon. It seems difficult to deal with alone, so let''s help each other out. Hmm. I met the swordsman here too. I remember seeing the rest of them too. It''s the first time I''ve met a young Confucius over there... but I feel a strange sense of unity as a player. All of them are experts who can handle Sword Qi. Whoops. chuck. Although it was a low rank, four Death Knights and six Lichs who reached the level of the 5th circle were joined. kukukuku! A black energy slowly rose around Beirodum. This is not the place for you to step out. I just put things in my hands to have fun. These guys are the ones I can wipe out by myself. Various emotions spilled out from the tone of voice that seemed to have hurt his self-esteem. I know. But, are you okay? What do you mean? That man. You''re procrastinating with puns. You haven''t even used half of your power, but neither did that man. Baek Sullin glanced at Jinhyuk. He hesitates as if in embarrassment, but that''s all acting. very high. Are you running out of time? Where do you think the ancient bells and spirits that disappeared a while ago are going? The sweet potato and the five elemental spirits that hid from the chaos. The fact that the pets disappeared without protecting their master would mean that they had a more important mission. And if that''s the reason it''s worth it here now... . no way. Beirodum''s voice hardened as if he realized something. Baek Sullin smiled softly and opened her mouth again. Life Force Vessel. It is the surest means to completely annihilate Lich, and the most feared Achilles heel for an immortal being. Yes. What he''s looking for is your lifeline. ''Oh.'' A small exclamation came out of Jinhyuk''s mouth. I tried to distract myself by waving the board promiscuously in my own way. That woman clearly saw what this was aiming for. In fact, the sweet potato and the spirit beasts were on their way to the place where the Life Force Vessel of Beirodum was kept. Whether or not to obtain it was going to be the key to determining the success or failure of this fight. However. The plan went awry from the start. You bastard... you''re only doing really cunning things. It''s not enough to just ignore the Bone Dragon and cross the gate, did you think I was going to hit the back of the head in the same way? Beirodum''s eyes burned fiercely. It''s about avoiding unnecessary fights. There''s an easy way, but there''s no need to choose the hard way. You mean where the Life Force Vessel is? That''s... I know the location. I''ll need a lot of demonic energy to corrupt the saint, so I''ll keep it nearby. Jinhyuk just cut it off and said. Then there was a moment of silence. Beirodum, who was about to say something, was at a loss for words, so he immediately shut his mouth. Needless to say, mana, a mixture of astonishment and surprise, showed how perplexed Lich was. ...the more I look at him, the more amazing he is. I''m going to ask him. Why are you telling me all of that, even though you haven''t achieved your goal yet? Reason... . It''s simple. There''s no chance that we''ll lose even if you tell me this. My pets will surely accomplish their missions. Of course, the saint won''t be corrupted by your will, either. "In a word you mean that everything will work out the way you want it to?" I mean that. Fuhahaha! Now that I see you, you are just a human who has gone crazy with pride. It''s good. It''s not difficult to trample all the creatures by myself, but let''s use a more effective method. Let''s enjoy watching the saint from the side of the saint. Beirodum nodded towards Baek Sullin and the Murims who were next to him. It is an expression of the will to fight together without being stubborn any longer. Then Baek Sullin also grabbed the sword with both hands without hesitation. Pants! The sword with the guise of the sword was stretched forward. Brilliantly expressed brilliance. At first glance, it seems that Cheon Yu-seong or Wol-yeong is difficult to handle. in between. Beirodum, accompanied by a few Lichs, started flying towards Teresa and the Life Force Vessel. This place was to pursue the spirit beasts who passed first after entrusting it to the members of the Murim and the Death Knights, including Sullin Baek. ''As long as I protect the Life Force Vessel and corrupt the saint, there is no variable for me to lose in this battle.'' Beirodum smiled slyly. Convinced that there is no way to tighten the opponent''s breath more perfectly and reliably than this. As I have heard, you may need to stay here for a while. Sullin Baek swung her sword and drew a line 5 meters in front of her. This is a warning letter. The moment it crosses over, the opponent will cut through anything. Whoa. I can''t. Jinhyuk took out fangs and a twin dragon sword from the subspace inventory. Swords of different lengths were held in both hands. Are you going to fight without chasing Lich? Cheon Yu-seong''s eyebrows were curved in an inverted manner. Of course, Jinhyuk, who knew he would follow along, chose to fight, so I was embarrassed. Honestly, I''m the only one who can defeat that woman with a sword, so what should I do? Even though I don''t like you very much, I''m not tough enough to see the neck and body move separately. It''s kind of ugly. If Gumseong goes to a funeral after he dies, it is unlikely that Yukgaejang will pass through his throat. "That means you don''t think I can beat a guy like that, right?" Huh? Isn''t it? No matter how much you look at it, you think you''ll die within 3 go? " " Cheon Yu-seong broke his molar and bit it. However, it was only for a short time. Get out of here right now. I''ll kill all the moorim''s jerks, including that woman. kukuku kuk kuk! Living encroaches on space. A ferocious energy that had never been seen before was expressed through Cheon Yu-seong''s body. ''Once I caught one... .'' Sir. Wolyoung opened her mouth to Jinhyuk. Huh? I''m going to prove I''m more useful than that guy. So, when this is over, promise me that the sword you trust the most is me. If you fight better than that bad guy, you should of course do that. Actually, I trust you the most. So, show your skills to your heart''s content. I, really? Then. Arms bend inward, we are all the same arm and leg of the Empress. Our roots are different from ordinary players and Murim people. Jinhyuk nodded his head. Of course, he didn''t forget to speak so softly that he couldn''t hear Cheon Yoosung''s ears. ''After all, the system of competition among employees is a great motivator.'' Rather than saying incentives or war labels... Destroying an ugly rival right next to you is a way of exhilarating pleasure. Jinhyeok nodded and wished luck to Yoo Yeonhwa and Lee Taemin for the last time. While those guys take care of the Moorim-side guys, don''t let the Death Knights interfere. Don''t overdo it. Don''t worry, brother, go ahead. It''s like a Death Knight, because it can be crushed with bare fists. Please save Teresa. Brother. Softening replied by injecting mana into the gauntlets. Tae-min Lee also activated the drones again. They are really solid colleagues. Enough to leave behind and move forward. The sword prepared by Beirodum. This sword prepared. Which of the two will be sharper will be decided from now on. kwaang! Jinhyuk, who used ''Sword Demon King''s Bo'', took a big leap forward to chase Beirodum''s tail. A gleam was seeping into Seollin''s eyes. "You should have told me not to cross the line ?" Boo woo woo! The ornately decorated sword crossed the diagonal line. But. Kaka Kaka! The sword strike was shattered in mid-air. Cheon Yu-seong blocked the front of Baek Seol-lin with the same momentum as Tae-san. "It is not you who decides where the good is." You don''t know the subject. Do you think that only you can stop me? You don''t seem to know anything. Cheon Yu-seong''s eyes went cold. "The person I should be most afraid of right now is not him, but me." Sword Saint. The one who reached the tip of the sword and realized all of it. The past Cheon Yoo-seong... . He was the strongest player who even defeated the ''Plum Blossom Swordsman'', a master at the peak of the volcano. fault! taat! The view changes quickly. His heart raced as fast as his heart would burst, but Beirodum was nowhere to be seen. ''You seem to have moved to space on the way.'' Beirodum must have already arrived at the place where the Life Force Vessel is located, just like the nickname of the Archmage. So let''s run for a few minutes. Jinhyuk was finally able to reach his destination. By the way. Unbelievable. There was a fact that even Jinhyuk had overlooked. The first is that Beirodum''s ability to handle black dice is not inferior to that of the Demon King in the past. And the second... . The fact that the meaning of the phrase ''a person who is ready to take any risk or cost for his intellectual exploration'' in his detailed description is far from conventional common sense. My heart was beating like crazy. The sight unfolding before your eyes. It was truly demon territory. CH 201 . Fallen Saint (1) Members of the Rosenberg family must always know the honor, protect the weak, and never yield to the strong. Theresa worked her whole life to uphold her family''s ideals. If I could save good people... . If you could save the world even if you gave your life... . that you can be satisfied with that. I am ready to sacrifice everything for just that one thing. I thought so. However. It was impossible to save everyone even after all that was burned. ''With these weak hands... What can I do?'' In the past, when the three great despairs appeared in Beijing. Currently, even in the Outbreak that occurred in Europe. There was nothing he could do. Is it reasonable to have the nickname of a saint who can protect everyone with such dusty power? Teresa raised her head with a bloodless face. Throb! Throb! Throb! I don''t know how long this pain lasted. A mind that has been exhausted enough to forget the passage of time. However, The heart that I thought was already worn and worn out and twisted... . I had to struggle with pain again. When Beirodum returned from somewhere, a familiar woman''s hair was held in the hands of the bare skeleton. It was Maria from the Olympus Guild. Like herself, she was one of the 100 players, but she could not be the opponent of Beirodum. Are you still going to hold out? Okay. I''ll see if I can hold on to this. Beirodum dragged Maria right in front of Teresa''s face. And he used black magic. Dark red lines caught Maria''s mind. Kigi Gigi Geek! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! In an unimaginable agony, Maria screamed as her throat exploded. Pain that cannot be compared to physical pain. Knowing what a terrible experience it was, Teresa bit her lip until she bled. That... just do it. Please... stop it! It''s not me who decides where to stop. Stop resisting and accept your fate. If you do that, I''ll stop all this suffering. Abandonment. what a sweet word Beirodum, who saw Teresa''s pupils shaking, gave the final blow. There is a human who came to rescue you. Did you say that your name is probably Kang Jin-hyuk? trembling Theresa''s expression changed once more. "Jinhyuk Mr. came here and? To save me ?" Yeah. They''re making a big fuss. But don''t be hopeful. Just like I captured you. I''m planning on using all the hidden functions of the Black Angle dice on him. ...! Again. The painful memories will repeat again this time. No matter how strong Jinhyeok is, he cannot be the opponent of Beirodum, who did his best. If the dice are fully opened... . Because that strength was a completely different kind of thing. You''re thinking of killing me...? Of course. I''ll catch you alive and then tear you apart in front of you. Oh . Despair continued. That statement is by no means a lie. It''s not even a flimsy threat. Beirodum had the ability and the will to do it. Then I will kill every single person you remember. The nightmare continued. All of this will never end. Keep going until you give up. Oh, no. Finally, this country and the world you were trying to protect will be turned to ashes. At the end of Beirodum''s words. From the depths of Teresa''s heart. Something that has been continuous. cut off at this moment Jureuk ! Black tears ran down Teresa''s eyes. At the same time. [The saint of the country of salvation is corrupted.] [All demonic energy around you is replaced with mana!] [The beings in the upper floors of the tower sense anomalies.] [A number of large powers are paying attention to this event.] with the red status windows listed. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A ray of black light fell from the sky. kwaang! Finally, Jinhyuk arrived at his destination. ''Is the corruption already complete?'' However, it was all too late. Fuhahaha! It''s finally completed! This place ruled by the undead must be a paradise for a fallen saint who uses demonic energy as her power! I saw Teresa with black tears from her eyes and Beirodum bursting with madness. The Fall of the Saints. The pure white armor was dyed black, and the pure energy disappeared. No, it would be fair to say that it is darker and ominous than Beirodum. Ugh... Theresa looked around slowly. All of the magic that had been binding on her body had disappeared. "I thought I was going to die of cancer to see Sunding grunt, but I finally got out. It was so cramped that I almost threw up." Because of the trait that changed the personality in case of the fall, the original personality completely disappears. Instead, the instinct that was hidden deep within was supposed to take its place. That''s fortunate. Let me introduce you again. I''m Beirodum. I''m the boss on the 14th floor, and at the same time, I''m the commander of the 2nd Magical Corps of the demon world. It''s the fact that he''s wearing complicated titles. Do you think he''s a tall person? Yes. At the same time, you are also the owner to serve in the future. Fallen saints have a tendency to be attracted to strong demonic energy. For that, he had the Life Force Vessel, which was also the source of Lich''s life, by his side. Certainly. Charming demonic energy. Should I just say it''s to my taste? Teresa laughed bashfully. that laughter. It felt terribly cold. Beirodum raised his index finger as if satisfied, and pointed to Jinhyuk. You''d better get rid of the old comrade quickly. As a commemoration of finding true freedom, cut off that man''s head first. We''ll talk about that later. "It''s an old colleague that must be fun." Theresa grabbed her sword. And at once, he narrowed the distance with Jinhyuk. come. Tuk! He was a strong man with considerable skills before, but now that he has fallen, it was a completely different movement from when he fought in the corridor. Even in mana. even at speed. In a place that is also infested with demonic energy, it is the fallen saint who can exert power beyond the norm. ! We have no choice but to respond as long as we cross a safe distance. [The unique ability ''Sword Graveyard'' is activated!] The fangs of both hands and the twin dragon swords fluttered with black energy. ''It must be stopped.'' The two swords moved left and right in line with Teresa''s greatsword. Aww! Although she managed to receive the attack, the heavy feeling in her hand showed how strong Teresa had become. Pants! Black sparks bounced off in all directions. Even though his strength stat is 71, he is pushed out of the battle for strength. Despite the stats approaching the main tank of a large raid. ''It''s a dirty, ignorant attack.'' At least a few steps above the Imperial Penheimer is the Aura blade. No, I wondered how many knights in the Empire could be the enemy of Teresa. kwaang! kwaaang! bang! bang! Jinhyuk moved his body in a frenzy at the sword attack that didn''t fit his size like a storm. The sword that had gone through his head stopped high in the air. Immediately, the direction was turned vertically. this crazy... !? Is such a movement possible with that heavy sword? Puppupuck! A deep scar was formed on the ground. If I hadn''t traced the sword''s trajectory with my fangs in an instant, my head would have been split in half. But there was no room for reassurance. This time from the sword that was half stuck in the ground, the tangible gi exploded forward. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Since it was loaded with a very dense Aura blade, the terrain and features changed just by passing the sword. Theresa wet her lips with her tongue. How long are you going to avoid it? Don''t you know that passive men are unattractive? Isn''t your personality really changed so much? When the real Teresa comes back later, I don''t think I''ll be able to get out of bed for a year because I''ll be embarrassed. Don''t worry. Even if her personality returns, the Sundingi won''t remember this. Was it structured like that? In the past, players had never been corrupted, so I didn''t know how personality transformation worked. Or what. Surely you are not hesitant to injure my body? Are you worried about hurting a saint and going to hell later? I don''t know. I''m already living in Hell. From Alice to Cheonyuseong to Wolyeong to Sweet Potato. I often think that Hell is here as I consoled and consoled ignorant bastards. "And even if you don''t say that, I will attack from my side this time." It''s not that Teresa is hurting because she''s wasting time. ''At this point, you must have gotten used to it.'' Jinhyuk put mana on his sword. The river poured with all his might. When the ''Tomb of the Sword'' reached its climax, the air completely changed. ...! Did Teresa feel that the momentum had changed? At once, he widened the distance and took a stance. The Aura blade soared close to 2m. right at that moment. ''Mahon Sword Dance'' The sword was dyed black. ''Equation 1'' And the surroundings were also dyed black. ''Gwang-Mil-So (ħһ)'' Finally, all the scenery in front of me was dyed black. Scratch! The sword of the sword demon (ħ) manifested through a single line. I thought it was a near-perfect cut. However. kwaang! Before long, Teresa, without a single wound, approached her nose. ''I thought one meal of Demon Sword Dance would be enough... .'' How absurdly strong are you? What is a fall? Jinhyuk tried to swing his fangs. By the way. Teresa''s fingertips touched Jinhyuk''s cheek one step earlier. I didn''t feel the will to attack. Rather The corners of his lips full of affection caught his eye. I''ve felt it for a long time, but you''re so attractive. I''m going crazy wanting to have it. Should I say it''s like a star that I can''t have? Soft fingers ran down her cheeks. through the throat to the chest. When the finger stopped at the location of the heart, Jinhyuk felt a chilling chill. If you say this while holding the sword to your stomach, you won''t know whether to blush or kick yourself. I''d have to choose the latter in order to live... . Fufu. Don''t worry. Skeleton''s demonic energy is also attractive, but I personally prefer your demonic energy. Of course, Sunding wouldn''t want to kill you either. What, what? This time, Beirodum was the flagship. It was because he could not have imagined that the saint, who was sure to have subjugated him, would suddenly betray him. Didn''t you know? If it''s demonic energy, this one is stronger. It''s deep... it''s true to its instincts. Teresa''s eyes turned hazy. The neat and pure figure before the blackening was gone. The alluring appearance of decadent beauty approached me as if it was suffocating. everything is good speak a little away No matter how much I expected it, it was a burden. As Jinhyuk slowly took a step backwards, Teresa smiled even more strangely. I''m embarrassed? But what about this? Is this me? Okay. You mean you choose me instead of that guy? That''s right. At least for now. Such nonsense...! My demonic energy is just inferior to that of a human! Beirodum, unable to accept reality, shouted. Oh my. Can''t you believe it? Die on the magic side, I guess you didn''t know it well... The source of this man''s demonic energy is not magic. "The magic side isn''t it?" Yeah. Rather, it''s closer to Moorim''s. Tomb of Swords. The source of demonic energy is rooted in ''Sword Demon''. Being able to be chosen by a fallen saint. It means it was set from the beginning. Really... . I have worked really hard to create this situation. If even one of the many cogs was misaligned, everything could have gone to vain, but in the end, all the parts did their job perfectly. So I said. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. No matter what happens, in the end it''s all just moving within my plan. Who do you think first came up with the idea of corrupting Teresa in the first place? CH 202 . Fallen Saint (2) "Maybe you were aiming for this?" Beirodum murmured in disbelief. It was he himself who found the interesting subject of a saint. I was the one who thought it was corruption using it. Although I was sure that all the preparations were perfect. Why did things turn out like this? The skein was so twisted that I had no idea where to begin. ''You mean I underestimated the level of human beings... .'' To say that, the ranks of the guys I''ve dealt with so far were too low. Even the players belonging to the strongest axis were scattered as a handful of ashes in a few rooms of their magic. All troops, including the army, were almost annihilated by the undead corps. There was not a single corner where mankind could be overestimated. That''s... . ''It just means that one human being is strong enough to be called out of standard.'' There was no other way to explain it. Outrageous force and the ability to design situations. Above all, to the freedom to not lose composure in any situation. The culprit behind all of this was that he underestimated that one person. indeed . Beirodum nodded slightly. At this point, even if you don''t want to admit it, you have no choice but to accept it. If you don''t use your power against that person... the fact that irreversible consequences can occur. I can''t take any more damage since I lost even the saint. Obviously, it''s your triumph so far. But don''t give a toast too early. I also have one left that I have prepared for you. Beirodum drew out a black dice. Unlike before, this time the sides of the dice started to shine at the same time. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. ''Maybe this... ?'' I thought ''That guy'' was the only one who could use the last ability of the Black Angle Dice. Only 10th floor boss monsters would know this. I said it was easy, but this guy seems to have some beliefs too. Pants! The patterns that appeared on the dice were superimposed on one another. The ancient runes made six engravings centered on the pattern. A dark red vortex rose over the imprint. hot and The wave of mana pierced the skin. Oh. An exclamation of interest also burst out from the mouth of Teresa, who was next to him. It''s a natural thing. It''s coming from beyond now. Because it was the strongest monster in the close range, with a reputation for being strong even in the demon world. jerk. With the sound of light footsteps, a white-haired man with blue eyes and pure white skin appeared. It''s different from the ones I''ve met before. Because the one in front of me right now was the Death Knight, which was equivalent to the ''Grand Sword Master'' level. I don''t think heavy armor is needed. An outfit that exposes the limbs and thin plate armor engraved with anti-magic defenses. Shoes that prioritize mobility and a balanced body. It was a monster that exclaimed that it was perfect just by seeing it. It''s that guy who overcame me. To be precise, Sunding overcame him. Theresa shrugged. It must be quite a headache. The wizard Beirodum is in charge of the rear support. Death Knight blocks enemies in front. Since the division of air was perfect, it was a combination that could show the best efficiency with just two people. sure. It is the same here that can take advantage of the combination. How are you? Can you deal with me? All right? I can use demonic energy to my heart''s content, so it must be different from last time. Then, I''ll ask the Death Knight side. I think I''d be more comfortable playing with Lich. It doesn''t matter, but instead. Promise me one thing. promise? I must continue to be in a strong position in the future. So that my interest does not diminish. If that is the case, I won''t even have to point my sword at you. Sunding won''t be sad for losing a loved one. He had such a friendly face that I forgot about it. Theresa is now in a corrupt state. I''m hanging out together just because I have the strongest demonic energy. Due to the trait of dual personality, after this battle, the original personality will become the main personality again, but as long as it has been corrupted once, the current personality can be awakened at any time. ''If a Demon King or a higher Demon Clan manifests, it means that he can betray him at any time.'' That''s what Teresa is talking about. Never be pushed by them. And. Please help me so that my original personality doesn''t get hurt anymore. Now that I think about it, it reminds me of what happened in the past. Do you remember? At that time, you were just as anxious as you are now. Like a sand castle that is about to collapse. The day I first met Teresa. There was something to ask Teresa. no matter what Be sure to believe in yourself. Yeah, I sure do remember. As if Teresa had heard a satisfactory answer, she smiled softly. I don''t hate men who don''t forget their anniversary. Of course, you won''t be able to get any closer than this because of the leeches next to you. Big play! Theresa began to walk forward, scratching the floor with her bayonet. the gap is narrowed The Death Knight also posed with his sword in his hand. I lost my mind even after being hit once. You are not my opponent. If you know the honor, admit defeat and back down. Oh my God. You only find honor in the dragon''s bowl you''ve seen on the subject of a corpse. I think I''ll have to pay back what I got for a blowout so that my character will be released. Different but similar energy collided in the air. In the silence of the eve of the storm, Teresa and the Death Knight measured each other''s distance. Three steps, two steps... And one step. Teresa entered a distance that could take her life in a single blow. The air changes rapidly. The tight breathing exploded in an instant. What followed was a desperate battle of wild beasts that did not require any conversation. Aww! If Teresa, who wields a heavy sword, pursues destructive power... . Kakaka River! Wielding a long and thin sword, the Death Knight gained the upper hand with speed and lightness. The destructive power emanating from the soaring black Aura and a battle that was too fast to catch up with the eyes went back and forth. Swordsmanship sublimated into art. [Theresa uses Lv17 ''Flag of the Fallen Country''!] [All stats increase by 10% for 1 minute!] When the flag of the exiled country was raised. Teresa''s movements changed. Pop! The greatsword that stretched from the bottom to the top blew away the Death Knight''s helmet in an instant. At a moment where it could be said that they were almost simultaneous. The Death Knight''s sword, which tilted his head to minimize the impact, pierced through Teresa''s Pauldrons. One step forward (һMһ). In order to give flesh and get bones, the sword and the sword aimed at each other''s vital points. Tuk! Tuk! Jinhyuk wiped the dust off his body. It looks like there''s a fire over there too, so should we start? It''s certainly surprising to know how to use sword and magic at the same time, but does that mean you think you can defeat me? Well? It looks like you''re misunderstanding something... . I don''t have to use a sword to fight you. Jinhyuk put the two swords into the subspace inventory. You have enough magic. A battle with a strong wizard is essential in raising the skill level. If the target is someone as skilled as Beirodum, it could be a perfect practice partner. In addition, when I thought about using the ''second stage'' of convergence this time, my heart was already pounding with anticipation. Magic alone is enough... hahaha! Yes. It can be. At first, I think I looked so funny. I never thought I would be treated like this. The laughter that had continued like crazy soon disappeared like a lie. Beirodum spread out three fingers. Three numbers. I''ll finish it in exactly three. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The body slowly soars into the sky. Beirodum was located about 10m above the ground. In an instant, a red meat star appeared behind him. In less than a second, a magic circle reaching 5m was completed. You guys don''t even know how to make circles, you know the importance of speed. computational speed. How quickly you can draw complex magic circles is the most important factor in magic warfare. This is because even in the same circle, the result can be completely different depending on which side has first priority. So, wizards with high circles were able to finish this operation in an instant, and wizards with low circles had no choice but to be pushed out of all counting. But, that''s the story of clumsy wizards. When I''m like me, the dimension changes by one level. Lich made another magic circle with the opposite hand. double chant. It is also a double chant with completely different properties. I''m not teaching introductory magic. So what do you want to say? Because I can sing double chants, I''m not going to be a match for you. "How many times do you think this body can sing chants at the same time?" Being able to maintain different chants at the same time is a measure of a wizard''s ability. And Beirodum . uuung! Whoa! huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo It was possible to implement 30 chants at a time. Wow, multiple chanting! Numerous six planets appeared behind his back and embroidered the sky. They were magics with enough power to turn the opponent to ashes in one shot. This is me. A demon world that rules the upper floors of the tower. Recognized by the Demon King and Demon Clan, the commander of the 2nd Magical Corps proudly leads the corps. All those modifiers were pointing to the immortal mage, Beirodum. Beirodum looked down from above. Why? Is it because you were so afraid that your body hardened? In fact, since you felt the difference in class, it would be natural for you to react like that. Seeing Jinhyeok unable to move, Beirodum smiled satisfied. right then eating. With a smile, Jinhyuk slowly recited a formula. [Unique abilities ''Element of Fire'' and ''Glacier Sculpting''... .] Fuse two skills. And. [ ] ''Daylight'' is fused!] Add a third skill to it. The second ability of fusion is to fuse not two abilities, but more unique abilities and skills. So far, instead of a large-scale magic war that consumes a large amount of mana, magic and melee combat have been properly mixed. It''s different today. At least, I was going to show this guy what a true multi-chance is. [You succeeded in fusing the unique ability ''Triple Magic''!] [The fused ability is stored in ''Memory of the World''.] Strengthen the new acquired ability through the ''barrier''. Reproduces multiple chants based on enhanced abilities. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo one two. Over Jinhyuk''s shoulder, barriers and magic circles based on ancient runes began to appear. Hey, this can''t be... Beirodum''s eyes trembled violently. Not just 30. I can''t even count with my eyes. Countless magic circles were encroaching on the sky. [The 10-star ''multi-year barrier'' has been built.] 1 minute timeout. [''Infinite Magic'' is manifested!] There are no grand modifiers like magic corps or anything like that. There is no need for such a vain adornment for the deceased. Even if you don''t get anyone''s approval. Because the one who could just enjoy this world was the true owner of the tower. I''ll finish this one with this one. CH 203 . Life Force Vessel A process in which magic and magic collide and cancel each other out. Aww! Whoops! Fire and ice shattered, shards splattered in all directions. Wow! Beirodum did everything in her power to raise mana. My head felt like it was going to explode due to so many tricks, but I couldn''t rest for a second. any bit. If you respond incorrectly even for a second, you will be punished. Even at this moment, the endlessly falling magic and barriers that strengthened and distorted them had to be offset. [Pentaple Shield unfolds!] Attacks with relatively low power are blocked through shields. Avoid things that are difficult to handle. That there should be no mistakes in each number as long as it corresponds. Beirodum knew better than anyone else. ''1 min You just have to endure it.'' There''s no way I can continue to use this nonsensical anti-magic for a long time. somehow. Either way, you have to take your time. ''If I could use at least one circle of 7 magic... .'' Beirodum concentrated his mind and tried to use a new magic. However. [Lv4 ''Red Magic Bullet (ɫħ)'' is activated!] puff puff puff! Aww! The magic circle that had barely formed a form was shattered by the red flash that struck the shield. I can''t really concentrate. As soon as he tried to create a new variable, that heinous human attack continued like a ghost. Do you think you''ll just keep getting hurt? If this is the case, you should rather take some damage before attacking. If the Life Force Vessel was still in good health, even if he was fatally wounded, he would not have lost his life. Beirodum, who had blocked the red magic bullet with her body, gathered all the mana and completed a large magic circle. Whoops! [Beirodum activates 7th circle ''Flame Eater''!] A huge fireball with a diameter of 3m appeared. A high-temperature flame of over several hundred degrees blazed fiercely. It''s fire magic... cute. Jinhyuk lightly waved his hand. [Infinite magic ''Hellfire'' is activated!] A different fire broke out. kukukuku! Beirodum''s flames faded into a handful of dust. It was natural for a small flame to be swallowed up by a bigger, hotter flame. This... that''s unbelievable... The heat that seems to burn your whole body just by meeting you. With the high-ranking magic of absurd power, nothing but sighs came out of her mouth. should be avoided Only that thought filled Beirodum''s head. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A stream of fire reminiscent of the rings of the sun crossed the sky. At a moment that could be said to be almost the same, Beirodum''s body became black smoke and dispersed. Blink. Beirodum, who escaped with short-distance space movement magic, appeared from about 20m to the left. There, of course... . Obviously. It was the place where Jinhyuk had accurately grasped the coordinates. [Infinite magic ''Sigh of the Frost Witch'' is activated!] This time it''s ice magic. Pants! A single line passed through Beirodum''s chest. Awkward! It didn''t take a second with her whole body frozen. Perhaps that was not enough, the ice cubes soon began to extend toward the ground and the sky. In an instant, a huge ice tree connecting the sky and the ground was completed. Naturally, Beirodum, trapped inside, could not lift a finger. Jinhyuk, who flew into the air through reverse gravity magic, approached Beirodum''s nose. You still have about 40 seconds left. You know it won''t work if I keep going, right? He stared straight into Lich''s eyes, gleaming with fury in the ice. But at that very moment. puff puff puff! The ice tree shattered, and black thorn vines penetrated Jinhyuk''s body. No, it looked like it was pierced. Just before it reached Jinhyuk''s body, the vines disintegrated into molecular units and disappeared. It was the first type of high-circle defense magic that Beirodum had experienced with all kinds of magic. "There is no magic that I I don''t know about. Such a thing cannot exist!" [Beirodum pulls out the 8th circle ''Dark Sword''.] If the knight had an Aura blade. Lich has an attribute sword reconstructed based on mana. Beirodum firmly gripped the sword that vomited ominous energy. However. Even the most powerful magic he possesses. Compared to his opponents, he was nothing more than a speck of dust. [[Infinite Magic, Glacier Sculpture] The ''Sword of the Sky'' appears!] A sword fell from the sky, breaking through the clouds. The scale itself is completely different from the swords I''ve used so far. kukukuku! It''s like laughing at anything you take out. It will retaliate with higher-ranking magic. With magic to the extent that it could not even be touched at all. In the midst of overwhelming despair and despair. Ahhhhh! A sword approaching several tens of meters fell to the ground along with Beirodum. Aww! A huge crater has formed on the earth. In a pit dug about 10m from the ground, there was a Beirodum covered with dirt and dust. Judging from the fact that it maintains its shape despite being hit, it seems true that Lich''s vitality is as tough as a cockroach. ''Isn''t there a way other than destroying the Life Force Vessel to destroy it?'' Jinhyuk glanced at the outer part of the palace. Now is the time to come out... . That was when I was thinking. Whoops! A heavy shock was transmitted to the shield. Beirodum, who had regained his body, used fire magic. Although its whole body was in the shape of a mop, it was recovering the broken parts at a very high speed by absorbing the demonic energy around it. I... will never be defeated. Even if you lose in battle. don''t lose in war Due to the demonic energy and immortality trait that could be replenished over and over, Lich was able to keep fighting. On the other hand, for Jinhyeok, who has limited resources, the situation was bound to become more unfavorable as time passed. Now only 10 seconds remain. There was only one magic left that could be activated. if so . Jinhyuk drew a white magic circle with the remaining mana. [Infinite magic ''Eternal Redemption'' is activated!] The anti-magic, which is considered one of the strongest in the divine series, unfolded before my eyes. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo With an indescribable energy. Everyone''s eyes turned white. And after a while, vision returned. Chewy profit! In the place where divine magic had been swept away, white steam rose in a haze. As an attack that boasts the highest efficiency against undead monsters, its power was also beyond imagination. However. Kukkuk... Fuhahahaha! Beirodum was not destroyed. The skeleton is half gone. The black robe he was wearing had turned into a rag. life did not cease. Beirodum, who had been bursting with madness for a while, stopped laughing. It seems that I am the one who smiles at the end. To be honest, you were far superior to me in magic skills, but that''s all. The smoke slowly dissipated. There, ''Infinite Magic'' was over and Jinhyeok looked exhausted. Remember that smartly. It''s not that the strong survive. The one who survives is strong... huh? By the way. Beirodum, who was talking, suddenly tilted his head. I had no choice but to do so. It was because where Jinhyeok was, there were other things besides Jinhyuk. mosquito! Master, have we done well? Is that exactly what you said? Everyone be quiet. It''s noisy. Sweet potatoes and spirit beasts were raising their voices while encircling a fairly heavy marble. no doubt That''s Beirodum''s Life Force Vessel. "Hey, how ? I I! I obviously changed the hidden location. I hid it so that no one could find it!" Oh this? Jinhyuk scratched his head. If you want to hide it, you should have hidden it well. You focused only on deleting mana, so you neglected to delete the taste, right? "Sh are you drunk?" Yeah. Shichwi. I don''t know, but our sweet potato has a wonderfully developed sense of smell. Jinhyuk stroked the sweet potato''s hair. mosquito! As if proud of the sweet potato, he snorted wildly. Beirodum, who looked at him blankly, let out a deep sigh. Predicting that you''re going to erase mana, you thought of using your sense of smell instead of mana to locate the Life Force Vessel... I thought that would be enough if I only care about removing the reverberation of the minute mana. However, such carelessness led to irreversible results. Now, what do we do now? Jinhyuk smiled brightly and placed the Life Force Vessel on the palm of his hand. It looks incredibly dangerous. If it twists even a little, it will fall to the floor and shatter. Joe, be careful. Even if you fall...! Then I''m sorry, but I can''t do that. Think of it as losing a beautiful piece of glass. What''s the problem? It''s not like it''s hurting my body anyway. Thinking like that, Jinhyuk''s hand movements became more relaxed. But don''t worry too much about it. I have no intention of destroying this right now. There was still one thing left to obtain from Beirodum. It just satisfies the copy condition. In order to achieve the condition of telling the bitter taste of life properly, you will need to approach it a little more creatively. After thinking for a while, Jinhyuk handed the Life Force Vessel to the sweet potato. mosquito? The sweet potato gripped the marble with both hands. Play with it. Mooogi! Oh! Master. Is it a ball game? I''ll do it too! Me too! Sweet potatoes and spirit beasts threw Life Force Vessels at each other with their eyes twinkling. It''s like playing dodgeball. In addition, Jinhyuk secretly said, ''Should I throw or not, repeat for an hour'' When the view tube was turned on, the stage was quite plausible. sure. From the standpoint of Beirodum watching the Life Force Vessel almost fall to the ground, it can only burn her stomach. Mmm, stop. Beirodum''s fingertips trembled. Please. Please stop! It''s not a toy. It''s my...my lifeline. You savage bastards! They begged with a weeping voice, but they were not the spirit beasts that could do that. [You have fulfilled the copy conditions.] [You will be able to copy one of Beirodum''s skills.] A status window indicating the success of the copy appears. ''You have finally succeeded in this.'' Really, I came to a distant foreign land and suffered a lot. When you thought it was all over Boo woo woo! with terrifying brilliance. Suddenly, a sword with strong energy rushed towards Jinhyuk from the side. fast. Ugh? Since his mana and stamina were almost bare, he had no strength left to react to that attack. It is unreasonable to even avoid it, let alone accept it. Jinhyuk quickly grabbed the sweet potato in front of him. aka Ancient Shield. If it is the strongest shield in the world, it will be able to withstand even against the sword. Perhaps I mean. Mo, mosquito! The bewildered sweet potato was held in Jinhyuk''s arms and struggled. However, it was only for a short time. As if thinking of something, the sweet potato quickly embraced Undine in front of her. The owner is the summoned beast. Sweet potato, too, has been with Jinhyeok so far, and has perfectly learned how to deal with a crisis situation. So the shield was padded on the shield. Now the target returned to Undine, who was at the forefront. Ahhhhh! What the hell is this! Seeing the sword approaching in front of her, Undine instinctively stretched out her hand toward the front. There was only one hope of stopping this attack. Without hesitation, Undine stood in the way with it. as soon as. Beyrodum''s Life Force Vessel. Pop! The moment the sword hits the surface of the glass. I can''t, darling! The screams of Beirodum resounded throughout the palace. CH 204 . Variables appearing (1) Pop! After the sword that ate the river pierced the Life Force Vessel, it went to the other side and got stuck. The red here started to flow through the shards of shattered glass. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! With a high-pitched scream, Beirodum writhes in pain. Should I say that I have a special attachment to life as I have lived for aeons? As the time to die approached, he revealed his pitiful appearance without filtration. Sa, save me. I don''t want to die like this. I don''t want to die in vain like this! Begging and reaching out Beirodum struggled at Jinhyuk''s feet. However, it was only for a short time. As long as the medium that binds Lich''s soul disappeared, it was as if the ending had already been decided. Ugh... In the place where it became a handful of smoke and disappeared, only a single black robe was left behind. [The 14th floor boss monster ''Beirodum'' will disappear!] [The reward is distributed differently according to Karma.] [Player who inflicted 90% damage: Jinhyuk Kang] [Last Critical Strike: Sullin Baek] [Level has risen.] [Level has risen.] [Level has risen.] [Level is .] [You have acquired the special item ''Robe of the Archmage''.] [The amazing achievement will be inscribed in the ''Hall of Fame'' tomorrow.] And. Beyond the countless status windows... . The figure of a woman distorted by embarrassment appeared. That was Baek Sullin. Hey, this isn''t it... Seolin Baek stuttered. A sneak attack from the side. Since both of his stamina and mana were exposed, he had no doubts that this attack would work. By the way, let''s hope that our comrades are shields... No, I''m going to use the Life Force Vessel as my shield. As a member of the faction, it was an act that was unimaginable. However, Jinhyuk was also embarrassed. The fact that Baek Sullin came here means that she has passed Cheonyuseong and Wolyeong. In other words. ''I couldn''t stop... .'' Both failed. I did not think that they would die because they would somehow survive even if they were thrown into hell, but it was my true intention to be a little worried. ''I wanted to achieve the copy condition at the next opportunity if possible, but I can''t.'' Since this is the case, we have no choice but to fight in groups. Jinhyuk took out ''fangs'' from the subspace inventory. By the way. " " Sullin Baek, who was thinking about something, turned around without any regrets. Aren''t you going to fight? Unfortunately, this is more than gambling. Neither you nor me are in a condition to live or die. Come to think of it, Sullin Baek''s body is not normal either. Torn clothes and red blood visible through them. Seol-Lin Baek must have made a lot of sacrifices to get here through the siege of Cheon Yu-seong and Wol-yeong. Well, that''s why the other Moulins couldn''t come, so I guess he was the only one who came. Besides, I''ll see you in the middle class sooner or later. You''re a body sponsored by the Empire. Then we''ll focus on today''s work. Sullin Baek bowed softly. And he disappeared into the grass as it was. timely. jerk. From the other side, Teresa appeared with her cheeks inflated. Judging by the expression on her face, it seems that she, too, did not see the cool ending. Did you miss it? Oh. Lich died on the subject of a corpse, so there''s no reason to fight anymore, that there''s no honor in meaningless fights, that he said nonsense and ran away. I''m going to follow you and cut off your neck. kwaang! Teresa lowered her sword as tall as her to the ground. I think I should do better in the future. There was a thought that I wanted to see Teresa, who used to be soft and kind. Now it''s time to go. I''ll tell Sunding well. Then, see you next time. Teresa whispered into Jinhyuk''s ear in a voice that seemed to be tickling, different from before. Goosebumps erupted all over my body. But, when Jinhyuk tried to respond. It was after that dense energy had completely disappeared. Ah... ah? Teresa, whose face was stained red, breathed in the wind. The original personality is returned. Judging by the expression on her face, it seems that she doesn''t have any memories of Teresa''s darkening days. ''This is going to be a headache like this.'' I had a lot to say, and the follow-up of this Outbreak will also take quite a long time... . Anyway with this. All fights have come to an end. A week has passed since the Outbreak. There were several big changes due to this incident, the biggest of which was the disappearance of Wolyeong, who was in charge of the Moorim people along with Cheon Yuseong. The guy who was always attached like a shadow evaporated. And that too without any fuss. I searched for him in all directions for a week, but there was no way to find him because he had lost contact with Homyeong and Heukpunghoe. After the disappearance of Beirodum, the undead monsters that swept across Europe for the second time mostly weakened their strength. Some small and medium-sized forces, centered on medium-sized monsters, persisted and harassed the players. Finally, due to this incident, the ''Hall of Fame'' was almost completely runaway. Of course, it was inevitable that a catastrophe that caused unimaginable damage was prevented. Moreover, when it was revealed that the target was Jinhyuk, all the attention of the world was focused on Korea. -David cROWn: What the hell is Korea with such great rankers? -poker J: Even if a large guild took all the raids, they couldn''t even penetrate the Normandy coastline, but they dig deep into the heart of it at once and deal with the boss. -Live Trend: I''ve only seen the edited version, but it''s really nonsense. Is it because it''s a gaming powerhouse with a lot of dead people? I think Korea has a lot of talented people. -Brown May: It is true that Koreans are strong, but among them, that player named Kang Jin-hyuk is superior beyond the standard. Even the rankers of the Dangun Guild, one of the 7 major guilds, couldn''t even see the center of Europe. -Bump-Jump-Jump-B-B-B-B-B-MM: Ah. This is called ''Kimchi Power''. - One bowl of Jumo Gukppong: Soymilk no Gangnam Style? Would you like a bowl of hot soup? - Sae Young Eon Hwan: Our Jin Hyuk is a little different. A child is different from birth. - Eagle Owl: ?j. I''ve been watching since Hako, but I knew BJ Jinhyuk would look like this. Of course, it became so popular that I wouldn''t even remember it. Jinhyuk sipping coffee and looking down at the comments. Familiar nicknames are also visible. There were also nicknames that I liked a bit. Still, a lot has been restored within a week. Do humans get surprised the more they look at them? Dressed in a black lace dress and hat, Elise looked around curiously. The speed of restoration in the city center reconstructed by architecture players was beyond imagination. Because people were already walking the streets as usual and living their daily lives. The lively streets seemed to have healed Outbreak''s wounds a little. Wow. This is the world players live in. Everything is really big and beautiful. Next to him was Andria, who worked hard to look like a normal person as much as possible. Seeing the two of them chirping together, I felt anger welling up from the depths of my heart. "You told me to train inside, so why did you come all the way here?" Wow, we practiced hard, too. But don''t you know that if the rubber band is pulled too tight, it will break? A proper rest is a step back for two steps forward. You''re right. I''m really strong! hello. They''ve been together for a while, and the two of them get along very well. I don''t think it would feel uncomfortable even if they were real sisters. I raised tiger cubs. Yeah. Do whatever you want. As you wish. While Jinhyuk clicked his tongue, their eyes were all set on various foods on the table. German craft beer and thickly sliced sausages. Plus french fries and Schweinhaksen, German pork feet. The table was completed that did not lack enough to relieve the fatigue accumulated while fighting fiercely. Knuckle! Elise''s eyes twinkled as if she was too hungry. Can''t you eat it quickly? If you drink this with meat and a glass of beer, I think my congestion will go down. Wait a minute. There is still someone who has decided to come. Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min returned home quickly because of their work in Korea, but Teresa and Cheon Yu-seong decided to come here soon. 5:30 p.m. It''s a little past the appointment time. Now the time has come to come slowly... . The moment I thought so. Mr. Jinhyuk! We''re here! " " Theresa and Cheon Yuseong appeared in the alley. Both of them changed into their everyday clothes and looked quite fresh. Teresa, there are so many TV appearances, even if it''s true, Cheon Yoosung always wears clothes suitable for battle. Casual hoodies and jeans are quite unfamiliar. They look good together, but should I say that it''s like looking at someone else? ''By the way, I''m still completely nauseous.'' After losing to Baek Sullin, Cheon Yu-seong did not answer any questions asked. Something was happening there at the time. Why did Wolyeong disappear after the battle? This time, you have to listen to the answer. The real back-and-forth has begun. While everyone was laughing and having fun, Cheon Yu-seong was quietly emptying his drink without any snacks. After all, he seems to be carrying all the weight of the world by himself. Hey! Hey! I''m being treated like this now, but in my old days. When I lifted my finger, the whole tower trembled. Elise, who was very drunk, cast a latte. As the rest of them were distracted by Elise''s Japanese speech, Jinhyuk hinted at his luck. It''s been quite some time, can''t we talk about it now? What happened to Moorim? " " Wolyoung is gone. Yeonhwa and Taemin lost consciousness in the middle of fighting with the Moorim guys, so they couldn''t answer even if they wanted to. I know that losing to Baek Sullin hurt their pride. If you keep your mouth shut because of that... "It is not because of my pride that I have spared my words." Cheon Yoo-seong spoke for the first time. Then, what are you doing this for? While we were dealing with Baek Sullin after cutting down the dwarves of Moorim. One Moorim intervened. one sentence word. However, the implications of those words were never taken lightly. ...who intervened? He''s a reckless old man. I don''t know much more than his appearance... but he asked. Cheon Yoo-seong pondered the bitter memories of that time. Are you the one impersonating my disciple? ...! An earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk''s pupil. no way . I understand now that Wol-young has disappeared. It is understandable that Cheon Yoo-seong was in frustration. Heavenly Demon Protestantism. They finally finished closing. Of course, I expected that to happen, but the problem is the timing. ''It''s much faster than I expected, but this is... .'' When a new variable appeared, Jinhyuk wet his burnt lips with his tongue. perhaps This time around, some pretty annoying things might happen one after another. But right then. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The cell phone I had in my pocket rang. The caller is Sangjin Han. He was the president of the Korean Awakened Association. Normally, I would have passed it over without accepting it because I was busy... . When a player-only ''first-class security code'' is set, the story is different. CH 205 . Emerging Variables (2) The importance of each player in the international community is increasing day by day. Naturally, each country was doing its best to prevent players from becoming naturalized in other countries. And. Among them, the highest level of security was applied to the incoming call. Tou woo... . Tou woo... . The red message continued to flash. ''It means something very important... .'' You just have to check what it is. Jin-hyeok, who briefly apologized to Cheon Yoo-seong, answered the phone. [Hello, Jinhyuk Kang player. This is Han Sang-jin. I''m sorry to contact you as you must have been busy, but there is something I need to tell you urgently.] A familiar voice was heard. Han Sang-jin opened the door with a hard-spoken tone. I''m listening. [Someone with inside information from the ''Empire'' has now come to our Awakened Society. He said that he must tell the detailed story after meeting Jinhyuk... I think you should come to Korea right now.] hoo. ''Inside the Empire?'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. It''s not the Penheimer I met at a cafe the other day. ''If Penheimer had come directly, he would have contacted me directly rather than the president of the association.'' That means that the person who is in the association now is a stranger with no face to face with this one. It was impossible to specify this anomaly due to limited information, but it was certain that something quite interesting would happen. The worries didn''t last long. I''ll go right away. Jinhyuk answered briefly. A follow-up that ended abruptly. Jin-hyeok, who explained what he was doing to the party, was on his way home from Rome International Airport to Korea. A smooth trip was expected thanks to Han Sang-jin''s first-class appointment just like last time. Just one thing. Except for the chunks of luggage that stick like gum next to each other. Oh oh oh! This is the place called the airport. It''s amazing. Sister! Look over there. I think that''s delicious. Elise and Andria made a sound as if they had gone up two octaves than usual. I''m not going on a picnic right now. Why the hell are you guys going to follow me to the plane? This is also a kind of learning. In order to become a great boss, isn''t it important to have a variety of experiences? That''s right. It''s not just for self-interest, it''s all about studying so that it can be helpful to Jinhyuk-nim later. Elise had been on an airplane together before, but at that time, she was asleep in the ring, so she didn''t see all the details. Anything outside the Andriana Tower was amazing. Know. I know that excitement... . That''s why I think I want to play around with it more. Is this the first time you''ve ever been on your plane? It is. But, it''s an item with a size and dignity that suits Jim. It''s not bad. Yes. The two men nodded with innocent faces. Then, you must have studied the things you must do when you first board an airplane, right? That. Is there such a thing? Andria asked in confusion, but Elise quickly restrained her. The years I''ve been with Jinhyuk aren''t even a day or two. Elise was also able to handle this kind of situation skillfully. Of course, I know. Would you have asked me to take the plane without looking for that much information? sister? Stay still. I''ll take care of everything. Why Elise can be confident. That''s because there is a view tube. As it is called the sea of all information, there must be something about how to ride an airplane. 1. First of all, when you board an airplane for the first time, you have to take off your shoes. 2. Before departure, you have to unfasten your belt and get up and clap your hands. 3. Toilets are charged, so be sure to bring plenty of coins. 4. If you feel sick, ask the flight attendant to open the window. Did you see it? With a satisfied smile, Elise put the information she had found meticulously on the paper. As expected... that''s great, sister. That''s why I said. Trust only me. Human customs are nothing compared to vampires who boast a brilliant civilization. Elise''s nose soared as if piercing the sky. And Jinhyuk, who was watching him, also had a bright smile on his lips. ''The black history should be well filmed and then sold at a high price.'' Still, I was trying to create a fan base for Elise little by little, centering on the Tower of Trials community. If you record these aspects well one by one now, the day will come when they will be very useful in the future. and after a while. Jinhyeok got on the plane and was guided to the innermost seat of the first class under the guidance of the flight attendant. It is a moment that is guaranteed for a long time. In this gap, I was thinking of dealing with Beirodum and sorting out the level and skills I raised. Jinhyuk activated his personal status window. T-tiring! Name: Kang Jin-hyuk Gender: Male Age: 27 Level: 80 Strength 71 Dexterity 25 Stamina 34 mana 181 Gap 100 Luck 10 Adaptive 78 Elemental 30.53 Stat Points you have: 18 Coins held: 600,125 Occupation: Rune Interpreter Unique abilities: ''Fusion'', ''Sword Grave'', ''Star Blessing'', ''Anubis'' Judgment'', ''Blood Magic (Ѫħ)'', ''Mandala (_)'', ''1 second Invincible'', ''Thousand Poison (ǧ)'', ''White Beast'', ''All Things (f鹲)'', ''Sanctuary of the Sun'', ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong (ħʹ)'' skill: The number of learned skills is too many to ''set aside'' state has been switched to. barrier: The number of barriers learned is too many to ''fold'' state has been switched to. A total of 6. He has 18 stats. Considering that the level is over 70, it means that you have acquired an absurdly large amount of experience for hunting a single boss monster. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart was beating fast. The pleasure of continuing to grow is incomparable to anything else. It will become a driving force that widens the gap with others, dominates all important performances, and eventually makes it possible to see the top of the tower once again. ''Now I have to invest in agility or stamina.'' It hasn''t changed that mana is the top priority, but that doesn''t mean you shouldn''t neglect the rest of the stats. In particular, a large-scale war between the Moorim and the Empire was about to break out soon, and even then, it was necessary to have a slightly more perfect balance. ''From now on, I''m not dealing with idiots.'' The highly-trained Moorims, including Baek Sullin. The people of the Empire who have sharpened their swords and magic all their lives. It was the same thing that shouldn''t be underestimated. In particular, as long as the Heavenly Demon Protestantism, including the Dark Hwang, is involved, one small variable can lead to catastrophe. [Agility increases from 25 to 30.] [Health increases from 34 to 60.] [mana rises from 181 188.] Jinhyuk invested points in each stat. uuung! A warm energy permeated his body with the bright light. Agility, stamina, and even mana. I could feel the sharper sensation than before and the heavy mana flowing through the blood vessels. ''Okay, next... .'' [Choose one of Beirodum''s skills.] It''s time to choose the long-awaited skill copy. As the advanced lich, Beirodum, possessed the skills, it was quite difficult to decide which one to copy. [Lv19 ''Elemental Magic'', Lv18 ''Black Magic'', Lv18 ''Necromancer'', Lv18 ''Undead Manufacturing'', Lv17 ''Curse''] There are a total of 5 skills that can be copied. ''There is no chance of getting the advanced Lich''s abilities until you get to the 30th floor of the tower.'' You have to decide carefully. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. All of them were useful, but there was one thing that stood out the most. I absolutely cannot give up on this. I''ll copy the Undead Manufacturing. [Lv1 ''Undead Manufacturing'' has been copied.] [The copied skill is saved in ''Memory of the World''.] The size of the army that the power has is also important as you go to the second half. ''Right now, I am only a small force, but later on, there must be a corps worthy of that age.'' Considering that, it is absolutely necessary to copy the skill to create your own soldiers through undead manufacturing. Jinhyuk glanced around. It was the most corner seat among the first class seats, so there was no need to attract other people''s attention. There was a partition in the first place, so I couldn''t see it very well. ''Then, let''s start.'' After collecting the bones of the T-bone steak requested by the crew. Let''s focus mana on it... . Pants! The bones began to chip away little by little. [You have succeeded in making the Skeleton Soldier ''Lv1''!] [The first undead soldier joins your force.] [If you give it a name, you can expect more loyalty, and it also slightly affects the target''s growth rate.] Moongrass! A skeleton soldier the size of a small dog appeared on his lap. What does it mean to see a black pupil in an improper fraction? It''s not like an undead monster with a terrible appearance, it''s like a cute little miniature. The skill level is still insufficient, so this is probably the limit. ''By the way, it''s a name... .'' Obviously, giving a nickname like sweet potato is good for the mouth and for forming a bond. Jinhyuk, who had been thinking for a while, smiled as if he remembered something. T-Bone. From now on, your name will be T-Bone. Since it was made from a T-Bone steak, it was best to call it a T-Bone. It is an added bonus that it feels expensive and luxurious. Dalgrak! Although the bones made friction as if they were dissatisfied, Jinhyuk''s head was already full of self-congratulations about himself. ''I''m just saying I''m amazing with just one naming sense.'' Giving such a wonderful name for free is a little regrettable. That was then. mosquito! The sweet potato hiding under the chair suddenly sticks out its head. And just like a wild beast hunted a Basic Form animal. He bit T-Bone''s leg bone. Dalgrak! The sweet potato mumbled and I savored the meaty aroma that was deeply ingrained in my bones. Uh-huh. I''m not eating that. mosquito? "I''m a colleague who will be with you in the future, so please kindly educate me. I also tell the spirit beasts." mosquito! The sweet potato answered vigorously. Well. I don''t know why you keep tasting the bones of T-Bone saying you get it. A smart guy would have figured it out. maybe it is ''Is this the long-awaited last?'' Jinhyuk''s gaze turned downward. The biggest reward of this raid. The robe of the high mage with jet-black color. To be honest, I didn''t expect this to drop from Beirodum. yea that''s the way it is In the past, it was all about giving staff or accessories, and robes had never been dropped. In other words. I mean, this is the first time. Jinhyuk checked the staff information with trembling hands. CH 206 . Emerging Variables (3) [Robe of the Archmage] Acquisition Difficulty: SSS Defense: 0 mana: 0 Durability: 2800/3950 Effect: When active, all effects on undead monsters are increased by 100%. When held, your presence is reduced by 20%. It is understandable that the better the item, the less lengthy explanation is needed. It''s short, but the effect that makes you laugh. If you use this as a clich, doesn''t it mean that you can get twice the result with the same amount of time and effort? ''In addition to manufacturing the undead, it can create great synergy in black magic.'' In addition, the fact that a certain part of the presence can be erased just by possessing it was also said to be fraudulent. It meant that even if it wasn''t a follow-up or a covert maneuver, it could be expected to have a backward compatibility effect. ''It''s totally awesome.'' It''s a new thing, but I even thought that Beirodum wasn''t swept across Europe for nothing. Jinhyuk organized all the items and stored them deep in the subspace inventory. When all the arrangements were completed, the accumulated fatigue naturally came. ''Should I close my eyes for a moment?'' We still had about 10 hours left until we arrived in Korea. before sleeping. I could see the sweet potato clenching its bones and T-Bone trying to escape somehow. Elise and Andria are being chased by aviation security agents... . And that''s it. It was the last scene Jinhyuk remembered. Korea Awakened Association. In a heavy, subdued atmosphere. Han Sang-jin looked at the pair of men and women who were sitting opposite each other on the sofa. Those with an exotic appearance and dark skin were none other than rankers belonging to ''Gandara'', one of the 7 major guilds. Unlike Han Sang-jin, the two beautiful-looking people had a lot of room in their bodies. They were the ones holding the hilt, so of course they had no choice but to relax. "So can you tell me what information you have now?" Sang-Jin Han poured Scotch Blue double into a glass of ice. And when I handed it to the two of them, I hinted at the main point. That''s a bit troublesome. As I said. The person we want to talk to is not the president of the association, but player Jin-hyeok Kang. It''s not ignoring the president of the association... it''s to prevent misunderstandings due to information gaps, so please understand. Even with plausible packaging, in the end, if I told you, it would only mean that my mouth hurts. Han Sang-jin''s face was wrinkled. Still, Myeong-saek is the head of the Korean Awakened Association, so it was natural for him to feel angry when he was treated like this. "I am treating foreign guests as respectfully as possible. But, what is their attitude? We are in a country with two of the seven major guilds are you aware of that?" A slight pressure was applied. However. The 7th guild is a thing of the past. What is Dangun or Brawl Father doing these days? If we re-evaluate now, it wouldn''t be strange if both of them were expelled immediately. I''m sorry, but even if we say that we are the masters of the guild, of course, we do not even reach the level of the top rankers of the guild. India has nurtured numerous players based on its overwhelming numbers. Because the sample was large, the number of talented players was relatively large. There were many poor people who sold themselves because they needed money. In addition, India''s strongest ranker ''Nirasha'', which recently emerged rapidly, is growing like crazy with the support of divinities. It was an inevitable result that the nose bridge of Gandhara, a large guild, increased day by day. But right then. Hmm. From my point of view, I don''t think it''s that great either? An unfamiliar voice intervened from behind. what! How soon? The two turned around in surprise. There was no sign of the door being opened. However, there was no sign of mana being activated. It was assumed that he had entered the enemy camp, so he was not vigilant at all. Because the sharply captured energy was in perfect control of the entire room. Yet... caught behind you Unbelievable . " " The moment they saw each other''s faces, the two realized why they had missed their mark. cold glazed eyes. A face mixed with annoyance and annoyance. This is Jinhyuk Kang. creepy... ! A man and a woman swallowed dry saliva. They were given two missions. The first was to force Jinhyuk to subdue and join Gandhara if his level was below expectations. Because the power of Dangun and Brawler, whom we have often met recently, was so funny. The top management decided that Jin-hyeok may also be exaggerated than is known. In fact, it was true that the two of them were also secretly looking at Korea in a funny way while meeting with Han Sang-jin and other security team leaders. If this is enough, they are convinced that they can wipe it out on their own. But. What a arrogance that was... . It was only after I met Jinhyuk that I realized it. ''You want me to subdue this monster?'' ''It''s impossible. Even if the two of them fight at the same time, there is no chance of winning at all.'' either by attack or by surprise. Either that or it''s a kick. If the opponent puts his mind to it, he will die without being able to hold out for even 30 seconds. ''In front of you... It''s going to feel intimidating to have a boss monster.'' ''I can''t imagine winning. It''s completely out of specification.'' Cold sweat running down his back and his heart pounding coldly. Instinct that has crossed countless deadly lines is sending the highest warning. never. You shouldn''t show your teeth to others. No, you shouldn''t even have the thought of being hostile at all. if so . Now it''s time to use the second method, ''conciliation''. ''This is so... .'' Jinhyuk has his taste buds. I was expecting a lot of information because I had a lot of fresh information... . The level of the opponent was too low compared to expectations. It''s never meant to be weak. Rather, among the players I''ve met so far, they were at the top of the list. Still, I''m so disappointed... . It''s probably because I''ve only bumped into strong guys all this time. ''Let alone Cheon Yu-seong or Wol-young, it would be enough to put together two spirits.'' A world-class player. Or, because they constantly bumped into residents and boss monsters, the middle-ranking players did not appear to be enemies at all. I''ll get up first and do a Treasured sword. I hope Jinhyeok didn''t make a mistake. "You worked hard dealing with them while I was away." I''ll tell you something... Well, I''ll see you again in a little while. We''ll talk about the accumulated stories again then. Han Sang-jin, who had fulfilled her role as a host, left the room. rumble. As if waiting for the door to close, the two each introduced themselves. It''s called Arun from the Gandhara Guild. "I''m Chandra from the same guild." Arun and Chandra... . It''s a name I''ve heard of a few times. He was active in the large ruins ''High Orc Plains'' currently being attacked by the Gandhara Guild, perhaps? It was also ranked in the popular video on Viewtube, and I remember being in the ''Hall of Fame'' at least once. Why did you call someone from afar? Seeing you squawking, you seem to have some great information. "You seem to like the style of talking right from the start." I''m tired from coming from far away. Besides, I don''t like to measure things like this. That''s fine. The reason I wanted to meet you in person is because I have something to offer you. A suggestion? Okay. First, I''ll give you one piece of information. If you like it, then promise to stay with us. In that case, I''ll even hand over the second piece of information. Hmm. I don''t think the information from that side would be very attractive. What are you going to do if you skip the information and throw it away? It won''t happen. At Jinhyuk''s words, this time Chandra took the words instead. Because you''re sure you''ll agree with us. It''s a conversation full of confidence. Those words that conclude that there will be no variables... . It was quite interesting for Jinhyuk. It''s funny. Let me tell you. "I know that you are interested in the war between the Empire and the Moorim. Obviously, you are thinking about which one to choose to hold the rope and go up." Currently, the middle layer of the tower is largely divided into the Empire and the Moorim. Most of the top-ranked players chose their own faction, so they had no choice but to be interested in this battle for supremacy. The question is, which of the two has the upper hand? Even the intelligence departments of the Empire and Moorim could not accurately grasp each other''s exact powers. Of course, the reality was that it was difficult to predict which side would win for players with much less information than that. At least most of them knew that. However. Chandra still didn''t lose her smile. Do you think you know? of course. [Chandra activates ''Military Field Map''.] A huge map appeared above the air. Numerous types of soldiers began to rise over the 3D terrain and features. It''s like watching a simulation in a game. This is the first information we will give you. The main bases and troops of each faction. And the logistics route. There is quite a lot of information recorded. "It would be impossible to find out all of this with a unique ability or skill " You''re also very quick-witted. That''s right. We have a route to get inside information. You can think of this as a map reconstructed based on that. It was expected that Moorim also planted quina grass inside the empire. Gandara must have been able to share first-class information on both sides since she decided to join Moorim. ''The spy Penheimer was talking about was also related to these guys.'' There are so many families that I can only guess by guessing which one of them is wearing a mask. Anyway, this turned my heart into certainty. The second piece of information would be to tell you exactly who the insider is. Yes. I can tell you right away. Attract interest as the first bait. Second, take the fish out of the water. It''s an attractive method that you can''t avoid if you don''t fish. Now that I''ve heard so far, it''s natural to wonder how many big players are insiders. The background of a spy and Moorim inside the empire. With these two, this battle is almost over. Rather, we are doing Jinhyuk a favor. To avoid making the wrong choice. If we''re together, I''ll make sure you don''t feel bad for the treatment. The strong deserve it. The confidence that Chandra and Arun continued to feel. I figured out where it came from. But. I''m sorry, but I don''t have anything to do with you guys. There was one thing the two were overlooking. [''Eyes of gluttony'' penetrates the target''s heart.] [[Second information the subject is hiding: The family that betrayed the Empire is ''Beinsteln''] I am a peasant.] Jinhyuk''s ''eyes'' means that he can overturn the entire board. ''It''s good to fight and it''s good to roll your head clumsily... .'' It is also a law that must be done to a competent opponent. CH 207 . Guardian of the Iron-Blood ''Empire'' (One) You don''t want to hear it? Where does the information come from? Well. Should I be curious? Jinhyuk shrugged. Seeing that casual look, Chandra muttered in disbelief. Aren''t you curious about... the only chance we have to get the upper hand in this war? It''s not like I''m doing anything useless. If the bait had been sprinkled like this, it was normal that it should be caught. ''No, I was definitely interested until a while ago.'' But at some point, he suddenly changed his stance. It was as if he had figured out all the cards this side had hidden. ''Where did I make a mistake?'' Chandra''s mind was chaotically mixed with all sorts of instances. On the other hand. Are you serious? No matter how good you are in combat, you can''t be safe even if you turn everything into an enemy. Arun growled with his voice low. I invested so much time and effort, but I couldn''t go in vain. Of course, Jinhyeok was not the type of threat that would work. "A lot of people have said that before." you''ll regret it let''s see I won''t let you sit next time. If I wrote a novel by weaving threatening letters, I listened to the Three Kingdoms so much that it seemed like a prologue level. But, in the end, it was the people who said those things that I regret. It doesn''t matter if the opponent is Moorim or Ganda. As long as you know which family the enemy is inside, you must have pulled out everything you could extract from them. The remaining part was an area that could be sufficiently covered with skills and experience. Are you saying we don''t need it anymore? Yes. Of course, I know it was hard to come a long way. I don''t know how many hours it is by plane from India to here. "I think you should go back the way you came now." Thank you so much for bringing us the ten thousandths of nutritional value. Thanks to this, I was able to fully feel the worth of coming here from Europe. Then, excuse me first. Oh! Or, since you''ve already been to Korea, please do some sightseeing. After looking around Gyeongbokgung Palace and eating a bowl of hot sundae soup, I recommend the sweet Sujeonggwa. Jinhyuk left the two people with a face that chewed shit in the room and went out as it was. Hundreds of thousands of mountains. The headquarters of Heavenly Demon Protestantism is located in Geum Station, which is not accessible even in Moorim. Of course, it was normal not to be popular, but an old man and a young man were slowly moving along the path that could be called the only access road. Hmm. It''s been a while since I''ve been on this road. It smelled so bloody in the past. The tall old man murmured as if pondering memories. Kwon Cheon Ji-ryong ''Dark Huang ()''. He was one of the two hobeops that could be said to be Heavenly Demon''s closest aides, and he was a master who was called invincible when it came to kwonbeop. And the person walking a little further away from the dark hwang was Wolyeong of the Black Wind. The opportunity to accompany the principal doesn''t come very often, so why is your expression so dark? The dark hwang asked without looking back. However, Wolyeong did not readily answer that question. He was just meditating with a troubled face. " " Heh heh. He''s a guy who impersonates my master disciple. Do you still have any regrets about him? "It''s not " Wolyeong wiggled the tail of her horse. Obviously, Jinhyuk was a person who deceived and deceived himself. Heavenly Demon A treason who made fun of the entire Black Wind Society by selling the names of the Shintoism and the Dark Hwang. Of course, it makes sense to go there and take your life. But why? Even though it is normal to see anger boil over, the words you said to yourself keep coming to mind. [ Yes. I won''t let anyone die as long as I''m in front. ] A life where it is used as memorization and is thrown away whenever it is no longer needed. For the first time, I believed that life had meaning... . I sincerely hoped that he would be someone I could trust and follow... . Wolyoung bit her lips tightly. While Jijon was closed, I thought he raised a pretty useful guy, but he''ll be swayed by his personal feelings. It''s probably not going to happen. Dark Huang clicked his tongue. ...I''m sorry. I didn''t mean that. Okay. Even if it doesn''t, I''ll have to see what kind of guy who pulled out your souls is. The Heavenly Demon Protestant Church is currently closed for a long time, and news from outside has been cut off. For the future, it was necessary to know about the major external figures. Even more so if it was an opponent enough to captivate the members of the Black Wind Club, who had been harshly raised from the moment they were born. Blood Sword (Ѫ). Did you call? A new type suddenly appeared at the call of Amhwang. There was no fuss in the masked man''s movements, as if he had been there continuously. Bring a person named Jinhyuk Kang. However, you must not create a problem with the Empire side. John. A man called Blood Sword gave a brief bow. with it. The first number of Heavenly Demon Protestantism has been decided. The 12th floor of the Tower of Trials is a so-called ant den. Killing numerous insect-type monsters in the ground. Should it be said that the way to the 13th floor is opened only by passing through a hellish tunnel 50 times the size of Yeouido? In addition, the queen bug and the numerous soldier bugs that escorted her had the strength to be said to be terrifying. It means that the number of traits of the colony is enormous, as well as the tenacity of vitality. ''Hmm. It''s been a while since I''ve come here.'' In front of the pit where the end of the abyss trembles. Jinhyuk and his companions gathered together. It was the least popular of the many passages leading to the 12th floor. Master. Looks very deep. The gnome looked down from the edge of the pit. I tried to drop a lump of dirt, but I couldn''t hear it hitting the floor. Salamander and Sylphid also shuddered with their eyes wide open. But that was then. But, Master. Didn''t you say you should go to the Empire? Why did you come here? Undine noticed a strange feeling and asked. hoo. There was one quick-witted kid. I should go to the Empire, but I don''t have to follow you. The idle thought of hiding in the subspace inventory and giggling to get on the bus. Such a thought is a bad idea that corrodes the Tower of Trials. Each person has their own work to do, and the work of the Spirit Beasts is to use spare time to diligently promote individual growth. That way, it won''t catch my ankle and protect itself from enemies, right? no way . An earthquake struck Undine''s pupil. I instinctively felt that I had to run away, but it was already too late. Jinhyuk with a strange smile put his hand on Undine''s shoulder. Until we meet again, at least grow up to two levels more than now. You know my style? Am I only taking the strong ones? end with that Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Hey? Oh, no, darling! Ah... it''s annoying. The spirit beasts began to fall into the abyss one by one. The last remaining gnomes struggled to survive, but... . Gnome, if you hold out, you will only get more tired. They are all special training for you, so please accept it. Jinhyuk manually removed each gnome''s fingers. Oooh ooh! Finally, when the gnome fell, the surroundings became quite flat. Mosquito mosquito. Mosquito... The sweet potato shook her head as if pity. Dalgrak! Exactly! Exactly! T-Bone was also pitiful, and his jawbone was constantly tingling. Well . I don''t know why these guys feel sorry for them. I don''t even know how to breathe a sigh of relief. Jinhyuk grabbed the T-bone and put it on the back of the sweet potato. And smiled brightly again. What are you doing? You should follow along. mosquito? Dalgrak? Are you going to send only spirits that are dealers? Sweet potatoes and T-bones, you should take the tank positions where you are beaten from the front. While working in the Empire, the summons plan to tidy up the entire 12th floor. Go to the Hall of Fame and get all the rewards. It''s really a one-two. What I like the most is that someone feeds you all of this without lifting a finger. Necromancers and spirits seemed to be popular with this taste. Mom, Mogii... The sweet potato shed a sad cry like a calf being led to the slaughterhouse, but Jin-hyeok, who had already given the order, ripped off the invitation to the Empire. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A bright light emanated from the ring adorned with a gold dragon and golden roses. It was the ''Imperial Ring'' from Penheimer. When the gate with a diameter of 2m was made, Jinhyuk took a deep breath. '' There must be no mistakes.'' The tangled relationships were so intricately intertwined that a small hole could lead to the collapse of the entire dam. Wouldn''t it be nice to know who the spy inside is? If you use this variable, you will be able to create a plate to your advantage. jerk. As I stretched out my feet toward the trembling surface, my vision was dyed white. when I open my eyes again All the scenery I saw was completely changed. By the way. Well? Jinhyuk tilted his head. He knew he had come to the Empire, but the location was far from what he expected. Jureuk . A cold sweat ran down his forehead. ''shit. Penheimer, this inspirational guy... .'' He had just received an invitation and went there, but Jinhyuk had to feel his mind wandering. because . Where I am now is a conference room with a gorgeous chandelier and a table made of marble. This is because the people around him were all powerful people in charge of the real power of the empire. No, it wouldn''t make sense if that was the case. At the top of the table was a familiar old man wearing a crown. The author was Reinhard III, ruler of the empire and the current emperor. Hey, what a savage...! How dare you use space-shifting magic here! Guardians! Instead, they all shouted in unison. ''No, it''s common sense to be able to use space movement magic in a place like this, isn''t it strange?'' Objections rose up to the throat, but before that, the sword seemed to fly faster. If you do this wrong, you may end up with a bad ending where you will be beheaded as soon as you start. Jinhyuk glanced around. " " With Reinhard III looking at Jinhyuk with a hard face. In the corner of the conference room, Penheimer''s face crossed with something looking forward to it. ''no way Were you aiming for it?'' A place where the emperor and other real powers gathered. The spy inside. Hwanggwon losing power. Information and information are aggregated. Now he realized why Penheimer had called him here. Even what you want to achieve with it. And the moment the thought gets there. T-tiring! A blue status window appeared in front of Jinhyuk. CH 208 . Guardian of the Iron-Blood ''Empire'' (2) The blue status window flickered continuously in front of Jinhyuk. [You have chosen an empire among the great power empires in the middle ranks and the Moorim.] [Gain the trust of the Emperor Reinhard III and lead the Empire on the road to complete prosperity.] [If successful, the third perk for ''the first to conquer the tower'' will be unlocked.] pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart was beating like crazy. Third perk! ''I wondered why it was so quiet all this time, but it was supposed to be related to a big event, but it happened in a way.'' Greed flashed through Jinhyuk''s eyes. However, it was only for a short time. ''I don''t have time to enjoy the new event.'' kwaang! Chunkyung! Suddenly, the guards who entered the conference room surrounded Jinhyuk in a circle. All of them are knights who know how to handle Aura. Among them, there were also high-level knights with spitting sun blood. The body of a gold dragon is engraved on the armor. no doubt The Imperial Guard is called the heart of the empire. Sreung ! The captain of the guard drew his sword. Dare you, where did you come from here! If you have black hair, you must be a spy sent from Moorim. You will have to confess how you managed to move through the palace''s distortion magic. So. The space movement Artifact was given to you by the gentleman sitting over there? Jinhyuk made a gesture to Penheimer for help. Penheimer was still looking at Jinhyuk with a mixed expression of expectation and smirk. shit. If you believe in that Spirit, even 12 lives may not be enough. If there are people who say anything like the Iron Minister of the Empire who attended the masquerade, it might be possible to clear up the misunderstanding, but Unfortunately, the people I saw at that time were not visible at this meeting. ''Did you even put this into the calculation?'' if so . Jinhyuk quickly activated the ''Eyes of Gluttony'' towards the emperor. Name: Reinhard III Gender: Male Age: 58 Level: 37 Strength 23 Dexterity 25 Stamina 26 mana 11 Charisma 275 Stat Points you have: 0 Occupation: Iron-Blood Lord Unique Ability: Unwavering Leadership skill: Lv25 ''The King''s Learning'', Lv23 ''Sharp Sense'', Lv23 ''Iron Fist Rule (Fȭy)'', Lv22 ''Diplomacy'', Lv22 ''Excellent energy'' [Details: Reinhardt, the first emperor who established a great empire by unifying 17 kingdoms. He established an absolute position based on his overwhelming charisma and force. However, with the passing of time, the imperial power has weakened, while the power of the nobility is growing day by day. Reinhard III worked his whole life to reestablish such imperial power, but At this rate, it seems that Reinhard IV will not wear the crown.] [Copy condition: If you gain the emperor''s trust, you can copy one of his skills.] " " The emperor''s eyes are dead. Maybe it''s because of the sense of shame at the fact that he couldn''t change the path to catastrophe even after trying all his life. A life that has been burned with one''s own body as firewood. Now, we have to kindle a fire once again in the heart of the old man who has no residual fire left. Jinhyuk took out ''fangs'' from the subspace inventory. Are you going to resist? The captain of the bodyguard let out a smirk as if it were a pity. "You look like you are being forced to be a Moorim, so will you stay still?" Hey. You''re not a Moorim? Then where the hell did you come from? "I''m from outside the tower. If I say player , will you understand?" At the word player, everyone''s attention was once again focused. ...! Is the author a player? By the way, I heard that the intelligence department said there were people with dark hair outside the tower. Are you one of them? But, I know that the players haven''t broken through the 10th floor yet, so how the hell did you get here? Although most of the players were still in the lower floors of the tower, the potential and value of the players could never be ignored. yea that''s the way it is If the residents imprisoned in the tower go to the lower levels of the tower or go outside, they have to pay a huge price. On the other hand, players were free to go up and down the floor free from such restrictions, and their growth rate was much higher than that of residents. In this war, of course, it means that it is a major resource that must be secured to get to the upper floors of the tower. Sir Penheimer. Is what Iza said true? Isn''t Sir in charge of the player side? The captain of the Guard immediately tried to ascertain the facts to Penheimer. Well. I''m the first person I''ve ever seen. Naturally, Penheimer denied his relationship with Jinhyuk. I was sure of this. Penheimer is now asking himself to get out of this situation. ''To be precise, through the use of force... I guess I''ll have to show the emperor what kind of person I am.'' A shock agent to wake the emperor from a feeling of helplessness. At the same time, there are players who can prove that there is hope for the future of the empire. I have to prove it right here and now. I was looking forward to a leisurely tour... but this work will be expensive later. Jinhyuk, who muttered, immediately injected mana into his sword. Pants... . A blue energy spread along the blade. Hey. Do you know how to handle Aura? Still, he''s learned the basics quite a bit. However, it was a mistake to come here at that level. The captain of the guards laughed bitterly. And immediately shouted at the guardsman next to him. Macan! Yes! The guardsman, who was called, stepped forward, holding the sword with both hands. Oh oh! I''ll be able to see the actual battle of the Guardsman. I''m looking forward to it. Take down that cheeky intruder right now! The aristocrats who were watching also waited with anticipation for what would happen next. After all, the result is decided. What was expected was the process leading to the result. Cheers erupted from everyone''s mouth at the thought of seeing the greatness of the empire and the wretched words of the invaders. Keep it down as long as you don''t kill it. It doesn''t matter if you cut off an arm or a leg. Just leave it to me. Macan took a stance. A strong physique and basic skills honed through rigorous training. Indeed, he is a member of the Imperial Guard that the Empire is proud of. Tuk! With a light footstep, Macan narrowed the distance with Jinhyuk at once. It''s good to do both at the same time. The sword crossed across Jinhyuk''s thigh. By the way. Boo Woong! The attack that he thought was perfect crossed the pitiful air. Boo-woong! Boo Woong! Two, three... . They continued to attack, but the result was the same. Rather, Jinhyuk went behind Macan and grabbed his back. Cats are usually quiet when they hold their necks. They don''t seem to be humans. Oh, where dare you! Macan, full of drugs, tried to shake off Jin-hyuk''s grasp at once. However, contrary to what I thought, my body did not move freely. Juju (g). Jinhyuk grabbed Macan''s back and cleverly disturbed the center of gravity. kuung! Macan, who had smashed his buttwheel in trouble, floundered his arms and legs on the floor. Of course, it was only for a short time. kwaduk! It was because the merciless kicking had crushed his chin. For a moment, the surroundings became as quiet as ice water. Even the sneering laughter. The noise that was quietly chirping. All gone. Jinhyuk shrugged. Maybe, this isn''t the level of the Empire? If so, that''s very disappointing. This. A clear attack followed. What kind of dog is this in a place where the Emperor and numerous nobles gather? If we can''t fix this right now, there''s nothing we can do about it, even if all of them are beheaded. Shane! Veirn! The captain of the guards shouted again. thud! percussion! This time, the two knights flew at the same time. The pass line was spread like a ruler. But even that seemed too slow in Jinhyuk''s eyes. Send only two people... . I still haven''t come to my senses. Jinhyeok, who avoided the tip of the sword by a single sheet of paper, moved his hand so fast that it was hard to see with the naked eye. Whoops! puck! The handle of the dagger hit the back of the head. Because the power and speed were accurately loaded, the two knights could not even dare to avoid or defend. Shane and Veirne, who lost consciousness on the spot, fell to the left and right. It happened really quickly. Unbelievable. The captain''s mouth widened and opened. It was only now that I realized that the situation was not serious. ''Movement is not normal.'' Seeing the knights as if they were playing with children, it must have been a fairly highly trained intruder. However, no matter how good the movement is, that''s all. Acrobatics can never surpass craftsmanship. From now on, let me deal directly with you. The knight leader extended his sword forward. Kukuku! A blue light that completely covered the sword rose about 30 cm. It is not the level of simply forming Aura on the blade, but the state of materializing that form. That meant only one thing. A person who can handle the completed Aura blade. In other words. ''Sword Master'' That''s what Aura blades are. It''s a completely different level from what you''re using. I regret that I looked down on the Imperial Guard... heh heh!? However, the two eyes of the captain of the guardsmen who were talking about exploding. I was so startled that I almost dropped the sword from my hand. I had no choice but to do so. Although he proudly presented Aura, the strongest skill. The other party also brought out the same thing. kukukuku! A pure light, burning the air, began to dominate the entire conference room. It''s not just 30 cm. Aura, which soared close to 2m, had an obsidian color that seemed to be sucked in. It''s an Aura blade without a doubt. It''s so perfect that it can''t even be compared with yourself. Rumble! His face, his naval, and his liver couldn''t stop his limbs from trembling. And there was no nobleman to say anything about it. It was only natural for a rabbit to get scared in front of a tiger. Like that... a bright Aura blade. So, is that the sword master? That man? no. It was Merton, who was the imperial foreign minister, who denied it with a single knife. He was a person who had interacted countless times with the Empire and the Moorim, as well as various powers in the tower. Having met a lot of strong men over the decades, Merton could be sure. It''s more than that. Above the Sword Master. A dream state that only two of them possess in the Empire. Grand Sword Master. Only when the training to sharpen bones that I had to learn how to hold a sword before I was a toddler and the talent that came out once in 100 years were combined... . No, it is an area that can only be reached if you are supported by your innate luck. that . A stranger did it for the first time. CH 209 . Guardian of the Iron-Blood ''Empire'' (3) The conference hall where all the leftists were frozen. gulp! The sound of dry saliva was heard all over the place. - To suddenly drop such a talented person... . -If we can recruit them into our family, we can change the tax at once. -Being a duke is not just a dream. You mean the same level of skill as the best knight commander in the empire? -If this is the case, you will be able to win the war against Moorim with certainty. not cancer. It was a pity that he was not the son of a nobleman with a guaranteed bloodline, but if he was a Grand Swordmaster, he could bear the difference in status. In particular, the current empire is preparing for war against Moorim. It hurts my mouth to tell you how valuable talented people are. Like that, it was when everyone was looking at the timing to talk to Jinhyuk with their bodies warmed up. What are you all being deceived by right now! Without thinking of bringing out those cultists who use evil magic right now! A new person intervened. He is about mid 40''s. It wasn''t a warrior, but the sharp momentum flowing out of her body surpassed that of the warrior. Without having to use the ''Eyes of Gluttony'', I was able to guess who the opponent was. Duke of Weinstein. He is undoubtedly the most powerful person in the empire, threatening the imperial power, and an inside spy working hand in hand with Moorim. I came face-to-face with the person in the information I heard from Gandhara. Bee, Duke of Weinsteln? What do you mean heresy? At the sudden remark, agitation arose once again. However, Weinsteln dismissed everyone''s doubts with a single blow. Didn''t you see the author use a black Aura blade too? Normal Aura should be bluish. However, Jinhyuk''s Aura had a dark black color due to the effect of ''Sword Grave''. Come to think of it . "The color is definitely strange. Something like that is something you can only see from Necromancers or Moorim." Isn''t that an Aura blade? Unlike the past 17 kingdoms, it is now composed of 7 kingdoms. The fact that it is a holy empire serving the goddess ''Peris'' has not changed. This means that the entire people and the leadership alike are extremely sensitive to paganism. Weinsteln aimed at that and tried to press Jinhyuk. Yeah. The statuses keep changing. From Moorim to heretic. Later, you''ll be able to hear the voice of a devil. If you feel unhappy, simply give up your arms and surrender. If you do, I will give you an opportunity to protest through a fair trial and interrogation. Can the adjective ''fair'' be attached to torture until you say what you want, like a parrot? Jinhyuk smirked. I''ve heard this repertoire a lot, so it''s not fresh. so . "If you have something you want to say, ask for it with your skills." The tip of the dagger pointed towards Weinstein. You have great skills, but you don''t seem to be able to understand the situation well. What are you going to do by coming all alone here? this is an empire A place where military meetings, which can be called the most important, are held. Although the Captain of the Guard was absurdly pushed back from the momentum... . A ''real talent'' who can replace such a guy can be summoned at any time. at the end of that word. jerk. I started hearing footsteps. The air has changed. ''Is it coming too?'' Jinhyuk''s eyes turned towards the door. Still, I wanted to go a little easier, but I don''t think it will be. Uhm. Aren''t we too late? A pleasant voice came from outside the conference room. He is approximately in his early to mid 20''s. He is a man with blonde hair and green eyes in casual clothes. At first glance, you might think that he looks like a neighborhood bachelor who looks so innocent, but you should never ignore him just by looking at his appearance. The strongest weapon possessed by the Empire. Even as a single person, he is a Grand Swordmaster who is evaluated for his power surpassing that of the Knights, which are all made up of Swordmasters. ''Ebraham de Felicia.'' I didn''t expect to see this poisonous species again so soon. Besides, next to Abraham was Mackensh, one of the top ten in the Empire. I thought the two of them would have gone to the forefront to face Moorim by now... . ''Is there something else on the plan?'' I thought that maybe not just the empire but also other variables might have intervened. Jinhyuk read the opponent''s status window through ''Eyes of Gluttony''. Name: Abraham de Felicia Gender: Male Age: 25 Level: 125 Strength 72 Agility 85 Stamina 70 mana 36 Hyperesthesia 103 Stat Points you have: 0 Occupation: Knight Unique Ability: High-Speed Sword skill: Lv35 ''Arctic Swordsmanship'', Lv35 ''mana movement'', Lv33 ''Anti-Magic Defense'', Lv32 ''Speed'', Lv30 ''Mental Barrier'' There are too many skills listed, so some ''folding'' state is switched. [Detailed Description: Abraham, the eldest son of the imperial family of Felicia, has felt mana since the age of 5, and showed a natural talent for swordsmanship. And when he was 16 years old, he reached the level of a sword master who could fully complete Aura''s form, and at the age of 24 he realized the logic of Aura and rose to the level of a grand sword master. He wields a sword for nobles who are not emperors, and is especially known as a direct line of Duke Weinstein.] [COPYING CONDITIONS: Abraham cares deeply for his best friend and colleague, Mackensh. However, Mackensie, the perfect knight, suffers from a disease that even a court wizard could not control from a young age... If you open the wound, you will be able to copy one of the unique abilities and skills that Abraham possesses. (Please provide at least 3 creative comments)] indeed . There is nothing to say other than that reading the stats is amazing. It''s great that the level is over 100, but even the ''Hyperesthesia (X)'', a stat that predicts the opponent''s movement, is a three-digit number. ''It''s a total monster.'' It''s a better spec than any other player or resident I''ve ever met. To the extent that it is completely out of specification. I felt unfamiliar with the fluff that rose all over my body and the fast-beating heart. At the same time, the more you climb the tower, the more you will come into contact with such a powerful enemy, so strange expectations also soared. ''The whole pumpkin came in.'' As long as you come across this kind of performance, you must succeed in copying conditions no matter what you use. In particular, ''High-Speed Sword'' will synergize well with the currently stored skills. Assuming that you can get a higher version of skill through fusion... Well, if you miss this, you won''t be able to sleep well for a month. By the way. ...!? An earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk''s eyes as he was checking the most important radiation conditions. I had no choice but to do so. Everything from martial arts to bloodline is perfect. It was because his only wound and trauma was his bare, empty head. Heh heh. No. You came just in time. Weinstelln burst into laughter with a face as if he had obtained the most reliable ally in the world. I''m glad if that''s the case. So Isa is an intruder who pointed a sword at the Imperial Guardsmen? You''re a friend who just came out of the boat. You dared to commit blasphemy in front of the Emperor. The lord will tell you how serious a mortal sin it is. All right. Abraham reached out with his sword. right then You don''t have to go all the way to Sir Abraham. Leave this to me. Mackensh took a step forward. Are you even itching? The duke has given me an order. It doesn''t look good for the First Sword of the Empire to come out against just one invader. Hmm. That''s right. What do you think of the Duke? I don''t care if only the author can handle it. Weinstein agreed. OK. Boo-woong! The Two-Handed Sword, which seemed to split rocks in a single blow, headed towards the ceiling. slowing down The nobles who were watching took a step back without knowing it. It was as obvious as fire that even the bones could not be extracted if they were involved. Gulp. The author is now dead. "You will see the power of cutting off a Wyvern''s head in person." It wouldn''t be easy to recover a corpse that wasn''t captured. However, Mackensh''s step forward proudly... . He paused at the next words. match! match! match! match! You can''t trouble the owner you serve... It''s a loyalty that can''t really come out of ''hair''. It would have been nice if that rich loyalty remained in your hair. Jinhyuk clapped his hands. Ugh!? Gee, what now? Are you crazy? The nobles swallowed the wind. Jinhyeok dug up what everyone had implicitly considered taboo, so of course he was embarrassed. It was Mackensh, who pretended to be strong and silently focused on his training. In fact, no one in the Empire knew how stressed he was due to hair loss. this. ...! Weinstein, as well as Penheimer, who was performing perfectly, were puzzled. ''shit. I know.'' He knew better than anyone that it was too much. But what do you do? If the copy conditions are set like this, it is the fate of the player to follow them accordingly. I''ll kill you! bang! Mackensh slammed the ground and leapt. The distance between them narrowed in the blink of an eye, unsuitable for their ignorant size. A blue Aura blade that fills the room. In contrast, in Jinhyeok''s ''Fangs'', the sword-dyed river surged about 1m. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! kwaaang! When the two swords collided, blue and black sparks arose. A battle of pure power and power. Mackensh, who was in a relatively high position, pressed his sword from top to bottom. kukukuku! It''s heavy. Don''t fuss, focus on the present moment. I don''t know how long I can survive with those fragile arms and legs. Anyway. Even if my limbs aren''t muscular, would I be weaker than you who don''t have ''two feet''? Aaaaaah! McKenshie suddenly broke his balance and swung his sword. The desk was cut in pieces, leaving traces of the sword passing on the wall. However, the blow did not reach Jinhyuk. Jinhyuk, who flew like a flying squirrel, headed towards the corner of the conference room. ''This is the second... .'' I wanted to achieve it until the end, but if I did more, the nobles might get hurt. ''My purpose is to prove my worth to the Emperor. It''s not about annihilating nobles.'' Besides, this made a solid first impression. It was a different start than I expected, but it wouldn''t be bad to start with such a spectacular start from the beginning. no way ! Abraham, noticing the strange feeling, immediately drew his sword. Of course, it was one step late. [''Glacier Formation'' and ''Frost Cloud Dance'' are activated!] Everyone''s vision was blurred. A cloud of ice grains and water vapor began to fill the room. Sheesh. If I could buy time by cheating...! There''s no way to escape from here anyway. Or just a rat in a poison... I wanted to say However, when the vapor lifted, Jinhyuk''s appearance had long since disappeared. Instead, a passage leading to the basement appeared on the floor of the conference room. And. " " For the first time, the emperor''s face, who had been silently watching all this, was filled with intense emotions. CH 210 . Guardian of the Iron-Blood ''Empire'' (4) There are numerous secret routes for the imperial family within the imperial palace. Worst case. Even if the enemies come all the way here, as much as the imperial family should escape. Security was so important that only the imperial family should have known the location of these passages... . How the hell did the stranger know exactly the secret passages of the imperial palace? This is absurd... In such a shocking situation, Weinstelln bit his lip. Surprisingly, the rest of the nobles were the same. "Shoe, there must have been a secret passage in the conference room." I''ve been attending meetings here for 30 years, but I never knew there was a gap there. I can''t believe it. While everyone was murmuring towards the aisle, Abraham walked up to McKency. Are you okay? McKenshie''s face was flushed red as he had not yet cleared his anger. Yes. That''s fine. speech that is insignificant. However. Abraham immediately grabbed Mackensh''s arm. Big! A voice filled with pain came out. Abraham''s eyes narrowed. Rice, it''s not a big deal. I was slightly injured because I didn''t inject mana properly... McKenshie excused himself for being silly, but those words didn''t come to Abraham''s ears. ''no way Like this?'' arm is broken When I saw it with the naked eye, I thought it was almost the same number... . No, rather, I thought that McKency outperformed his opponents in terms of weight class and strength. It was a complete mistake. In that brief moment, the gnome exploded a mana that was so instantaneous that it was hard to notice with a sense of smell. So I hadn''t noticed. Really, it''s a natural and fast mana operation that makes you goosebumps. ''I didn''t run away with a tail.'' Rather, if he had made up his mind, Mackensh''s neck would have been lying on the floor. right then Weinstelln, stained with anger, approached. Sir Abraham. Form a chase and chase after him. If we lose the infidels like this, there is a risk of losing trust in the neighboring kingdoms. Your Majesty, before that, may I ask you one thing? Abraham lowered his voice. Looks like you have something to say. Tell me. Are you sure you want to turn him into an enemy? What does that mean? It literally means. I think it would be better to concede to us rather than to be hostile with him and see blood. Heh heh. He''s said to have quite a useful skill, but isn''t he nothing compared to you? Above all, when a big business is in front of you, you can''t take the risk of embracing something you don''t even know where he came from. set up. The time has finally come for the seeds that have been thoroughly prepared for many years to germinate. Now, in a little while, you will finally be able to meet the moment when you will rise to the position of an emperor rather than a noble. For that, I sacrificed everything for over 10 years and made a plan. To that end, he joined hands with Moorim, who has been fighting his whole life as an enemy. However, Abraham, who thought he would immediately affirm his words, was surprisingly quiet. It was hard to find confidence in the way he bit his lips with a hardened face. ...are you in the right order to worry so much? To be honest, I think the odds of winning are 50/50. 50/50 win rate. If it wasn''t for Abraham who said this, no one would have believed it. It''s a natural thing. If the most powerful knight in the Empire could only discuss half the win rate, who would be able to affirm it? It''s also against strangers you see for the first time. I guess you mean it seriously. Yeah. He''s never under me when I see his ability to control mana and break McKensh''s arm in one blow. It was only then that Beisteln realized that the newly intervened variable was much more serious than he had expected. This... I''ll have to completely rewrite the board. The worries didn''t last long. Gather all the leaders who participated in the event to my mansion. I think we should have a long talk over dinner. Of course, don''t forget to make sure those loyal to the imperial family never know. with a splash! with a splash! After a long walk down the sewer. Jinhyuk was able to come out through an alley on the outskirts of the imperial capital. shit . I was afraid that if I used mana, the reverberation would remain, so I just came here, and my ankles were wet very well. Ttttttt. Didn''t I tell you to be careful like that? After all, the noble wings of this body almost got filth. Why is the smell so disgusting? It doesn''t suit me. Elise, who was on her shoulder, covered her nose with her finger and complained. I''ve come all the way here with people struggling to die. My mouth is still alive on topics I''m comfortable with. Jinhyuk gently grabbed Elise''s wings. And slowly reached out towards the water. Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! let go Elise struggled all over her body. I did not know the noble Jinjo, and I took him to such a shabby place. I really committed a mortal sin. I''m sorry. Okay. Okay, so stop. Hey! These clothes are expensive! Just one more time, and I''ll let you test your cardio-respiratory performance in the water yourself. So be careful. I''ll ask you a favor. Uh huh. great. Jinhyuk put Elise on her shoulder again. After taking a deep breath, Alice opened her mouth again with a hoarse voice. So what are you going to do from now on? What are you going to do? You said you were going to eat the same side as the Empire? But if you play chess like this, you don''t become a public enemy, do you? Yes. It would be easy to think that way. They broke into the conference room where the nobles were gathered and caused a commotion, so by now the guards of the entire capital will be busy trying to find this place. However. Rather, what I''ve done may have made one of them interested in me. The empire is now divided into the aristocratic and imperial factions. It is divided into two formations. The Duke of Weinsteln and the Mackensies that we just fought with are all members of the aristocratic faction. In the Empire, the Dong-A-Jul was not the gnomes, but the opposing forces loyal to the emperor and the imperial family. There was a spark in the helpless emperor''s eyes, so he made enough possibilities. Huh. Did you start working on it with all that in mind? It wasn''t just about leaving as I thought it would. What the hell did you think of me? That''s of course evil... No, I think of you as a great contractor that will never come again. It''s true. Seeing Jinhyeok''s fingers pointing towards his wings, Elise hurriedly turned away. But, is it possible to fight with the imperial power alone? The duke''s side has already joined hands with Moorim? That''s true, but we don''t have to deal with the entire Moorim. There are cards that you can use and eat among them. The ones I have been bumping into so far have been Moorim, which is made up of the five generations, the old file-bang, and the Sapa. But there is another force here... . They are the Heavenly Demon Protestant Church, which has just ended its closure. Heavenly Demon... I''ve bumped into him a few times before. That guy is really awful. No matter how hard you are, it won''t be easy to use, right? It''s up to you to do it. He''s tough to deal with, of course I know. Where in the world can a man with middle school disease who can spit out frantic lines that there should be no one who disobeys him under the sky? Even so, Jinhyuk was confident that even his personality would be included in the calculation. It''s always felt. You''re always full of confidence. Remember what.... Slowly get ready. We''ve reached our destination. No matter how large the capital is, it will not be able to outrun all the guards. You need a place to stay while you''re here. And the place . It was already decided from the beginning. Jinhyuk adjusted the amount of mana injected into Ellis. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo With the bright light, Elise''s height increased by nearly 160 cm. Are you here? Yes. Rumble! The door of one of the shanty towns where Jinhyeok was lined up opened. OK. You came just in time. A familiar voice greeted them both. A small room that can barely fit 4 people. The one who occupied one side of the old wooden table . It was Penheimer whom I met at the conference hall. Isn''t it too much for a safe house? Jinhyuk grunted. Although it is not a four-bedroom mansion with two bathrooms, I think this is a bit harsh. He is one of the 100 Sword Masters of the Empire, but he spends the same level as a single guard. Haha. A place like this doesn''t stand out any more. Come on in, both of you. As soon as Penheimer brought Jinhyuk and Elise inside, he locked the door tightly. Even if it''s shabby, we''ve got enough to eat instead. From beverages such as water, wine, beer, and tea. Cheese, sausage, bacon, and a variety of breads. A banquet was prepared that was completely out of touch with the shabby interior. Elise''s eyes twinkled brightly. For her, who is the greatest happiness in gastronomy, food in the new world always makes her heart beat. Hey. It''s not bad. This cheese and wine combination is quite satisfying. While Elise was wiping her mouth with her cheeks inflated. Penheimer looked at Jinhyuk with satisfied eyes. It''s a genuinely burdensome look. "It seems that you really liked the performance in the conference hall." Of course. It must have been a very difficult request, but Jinhyuk-nim gave me a result that exceeded my expectations. With overwhelming force, the Guards Knights were knocked down. He''ll even break McKensh''s arm, a tough one that the Empire has no match for. I''ve never seen Sir Abraham, who was always so relaxed, so embarrassed. Of course, the expression on the Duke of Weinsteln''s face was also quite worth seeing. At this point, any further credentials would be meaningless. I apologize for daring to test Jinhyuk. I swear in the name of Ibak von Pennheimer that I will never again doubt Jinhyuk''s abilities. thud! Penheimer got down on one knee toward Jinhyuk. The sword held in both hands touched the wooden floor. It is an action with an example of an article. Jinhyuk was taken aback by the sudden action. ''If it''s for the revival of the empire, you can throw everything away.'' Otherwise, it would be unthinkable for a noble knight to kneel down and apologize. Raise your head. I understand what you mean. Of course, if something like this happens again in the future, I will hold you accountable for the oath I made. You don''t have to worry about that. Now then, tell me what plan Penheimer is thinking about. How will the Imperial Family move in the future? I don''t know if you know. You can never win this war with a divided power. There was a serious talk. It was also the result of piercing the essence and judging reality calmly. " Maybe that''s the case. The imperial family will never be able to secure a ''base'' with the military power it possesses." The first key point in the war against Moorim is who will secure the ''Holy Body of Giants'' located on the 29th floor. It was a major base for establishing a bridgehead in each other''s domains, but Because the giants were so powerful, neither faction could easily attack this place. In the end, securing that area was the top priority in order to win. That''s right. You never know when the nobles will hit the back of the head. Above all, the information of the skilled sword masters on our side is all known. What are your specialties and what are your favorite swordsmanships? Even where you go to a restaurant. This means that the nobles are already seeing through it. I said that if you lose, you will win a hundred battles, but if that only applies to your opponent, then there is nothing as desperate as that. so. "I want Jinhyuk to take over that mission." Pennheimer spoke absurdly with a calm face. Yes? what now... ? CH 211 . One Question One Answer (1) Jinhyuk pressed his temple with his index finger. For this reason, he set the example of a knight and poured out solemn remarks. also . ''As expected.'' It was decided from the moment Penheimer first met that this was going to happen. Rather, I was worried about what to do if I didn''t say this. I''m glad I got the story out first. ''But, if you have a serious expression on your face, there are more things that fall.'' seems difficult. seems difficult. If you are good at pushing, Penheimer will have no choice but to feel more pressure when asking for a favor. And that prediction was exactly right. Did you feel that it was not an easy request even if you did it yourself? Penheimer quickly added a word. Of course, I''m not just asking you. Of course, hard work must be paid for. If you accept this task, I will give you anything you want from the Imperial Treasury. You may not have it. ...! An earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk''s pupil. hoo. I thought it would give you something pretty good, but I can''t believe it came out this big. It seems that Penheimer''s desire to protect the emperor was taken too lightly. If it were the treasure house of the richest empire in the middle class, it was an event that should not be missed. Hey Hmm! Big! If it''s for the sake of the Empire and Penheimer-sama, I''ll surely succeed no matter how difficult it is. You know it''s not because I''m greedy for treasure, right? " Yes. Of course, you will." It was when Penheimer answered with a shaky answer. ...! soil . While eating, Elise and Jinhyuk''s senses caught on something. Many footsteps approaching the shanty town. not the general public Because the mana flowing from the body was at a level that ordinary people could never have. All of a sudden, all the shouts in the shantytown had disappeared. There are some who stepped on their tails. About a beat later, Penheimer also realized the strangeness. It looks like the number is quite good... Did you send it from the nobles? I don''t know. This is a place that only a few people in the Empire know, but how... Penheimer shook his head as if he had no idea. That''s right. It means that there is a higher probability that it is the other side than the nobles. Let Jinhyuk focus on his senses. One by one, the number of guys approaching from outside began to be grasped. a total of twenty-seven. An eerie mana creeps in from outside the door. I''ll know for sure when it comes close. The people out there are no ordinary enemies. The sticky energy piercing the brain even felt a strange sense of incongruity. ''I have no choice but to fight.'' Second, there was only one door, and there was no way out of such a narrow place. come. As soon as Elise''s words were finished. kwaaang! The door shattered. What appeared was not human. Keeeeeeee... Hey! No, it would be more accurate to say that they were humans, but are no longer human. The dead, drooling black saliva, entered. Clink! Even through the windows, a number of the dead pushed their backs. The figure struggling to somehow crawl inside came to me quite grotesque. I''ll take the left. Penheimer drew his sword. I''m on the right. Elise also collected the drops of blood and made a skewer. The moment the dead came into range. Penheimer and Ellis moved at the same time. Scratch! KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Aura blades blazing with blue light and crimson skewers slashed the bodies of the dead. Dead people torn like a sheet of paper. Each attack was loaded with indescribable mana, so it could not withstand it with a body made of fragile flesh and bones. Yes. It should have been normal... . Keiyi...! Keeek! The dead, whose bodies were tattered, did not fall. The flesh and bones that had fallen off were attached to it in an instant, and on the contrary, it turned into a bigger figure than the first. It was a bonus that black thorns sprouted from the wounded area. Whoops! The light green liquid spewing out of the thorns hit the wall. Then, with a loud noise, the wall began to burn in an instant. Hey, such a bizarre monster... Sheesh. We don''t get along well. Penheimer and Ellis, who managed to escape, made an expression of boredom. right then Whoops! A white flash of light erupted from a bow made from the molars of Pentagris. There was a hole in the forehead of the dead man in front. Jinhyeok pulled the protester with the arrow again. Whoops! Keeek! The second guy''s head also had a wind hole. It''s a clean and precise blow without any fuss. Even the ordinary movements of pulling protesters and firing arrows look beautiful. By the way. That play! key kick! The dead man, whose head was destroyed, grotesquely twisted his body and began to rise again. Aura blade or Elise''s abilities didn''t show great efficiency against the undead, so even so... . Perhaps, even the arrows reinforced with ''Blessing of the Stars'' and ''Daylight'' are of no use? This was the first time Jinhyuk had ever experienced this. It''s fun. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. How long has it been? Facing an unknown enemy you don''t know. kukukuku! Jinhyeok rearranged mana, which he was familiar with. [Lv2 ''Heavenly Desire (_ؾW)'' is activated!] A transparent wave led to nearby enemies. ''The front is fifteen and the sides are spread out, six each.'' After grasping the number and location of enemies through Cheonrajimang. [Lv11 ''Glacier Formation'' is activated!] They tied their feet through glacier modeling with a wide-area crowd control effect. Ice frosts sprouted from the floor and adhered to the soles of the dead. To conclude here, as in Beyrodum, it was the expression of a new skill through multiple fusion. [The unique ability ''Mandala (_)'', the unique abilities ''Ten Poison (ǧ)'', and the skill ''Giant''s Grasp'' are fused!] huuuuuuuuuoooooooooooooooooo A dazzling light came out. What a fusion of three skills. It was a heavy burden on the body, but in order to deal with the abnormal ones, they had to use an abnormal method. [Fusion successful!] [You have acquired the unique ability ''Colossal Strike''!] [The fused ability is stored in ''memory of the world''!] Status windows listed in succession. Moment. A white vortex erupted around Jinhyuk''s fist. Mana rotating at high speed began to condense into a single point in a clockwise direction. And when that rotation reaches its peak. '' now!'' The storm beyond the limit stretched in a straight line. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A dazzling flash of light crossed in the direction the fist was facing. If kwon (ȭ) is meant to destroy an object. The colossal blow is intended to punish the target. Indiscriminate punishment with no mercy. The dead, whose upper body was blown away, collapsed on the spot. Whoa... Jinhyuk took a deep breath. ''As a barrier, it is not difficult at all to minimize damage and reduce noise.'' He poured so much mana in an instant, the pressure on his body was beyond imagination. His muscles creaked and his blood vessels felt like they were about to burn. However. "Is it a joke a joke?" The dead did not stop even after being struck by the blow. Seeing him twist his body at a bizarre angle again and wake up, Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva. Clearly, this was not the work of the nobles. Due to the traits of those who hate witchcraft while being pagans, there was no way this would happen. Above all, it was impossible to create such monsters with the level they possessed. As the largest candidate disappeared from the list, a second candidate rose to the top of the list. Those who can use such magic without hesitation and have enough power and capital... . At the same time. ''A group with strong hostility towards me.'' There is only one such guy. Mine Association. Jinhyuk slowly called out his name. OK. The movement of the dead stopped like a lie. jerk. A western man with a pretty impressive smile walked out from among the dead. Haha. Nice to meet you. Player Kang Jin-hyuk. Originally, I was going to appear after taking a little more power, but thanks to that, the timing is a little off. Do you know me? How can we not know? The person who leaked false information about Unknown and guided us to Yooseong Cheon. Thanks to him, I spent a whole day fighting at his officetel. Oh . Come to think of it, I remembered that I had leaked such information to Hossenveldt, who had the title of Lancelot, in the psychiatric ward. Cheon Yu-seong''s officetel, where he was spending his holidays normally, was destroyed. It also reminded me of Cheon Yoo-seong, who was full of anger, trying to pull out his sword. Does that mean that you are also a member of the round table or something? Yes. You can call me Gawain comfortably. It''s Gawain... . It''s a new thing, but the naming sense is as good as any other middle school 2. However, the important thing now is not the guy''s name. What is the purpose of coming here? It seems they''ve been making pretty fun toys, but should I interpret that not attacking right away as saying that I want to do something? Even with absurd dead people who are resistant to divine power. In fact, Gawain did not actively force the attack. To the end, they only threaten with their encirclement solidified. It was just that. As expected, you''re quick-witted, as you''ve heard. Actually, there''s one thing I''d like to suggest to player Jinhyuk Kang. I hope it''s not bullshit telling them to come under the demons and wipe their backs. As I said before, it''s a caution that it''s better to die than to get on a boat with people you don''t like. No, it''s not like that. Honestly, if we held hands, wouldn''t it be so obvious that in the end we would stick knives to each other''s necks? A relationship that can never be together like water and oil. No matter how much he smiled and held his hand, the end of this story was decided. Gawain knew it too, so instead of lying, he brought up a straightforward point. Then what do you want to suggest? Exchange of information that each other has. Jinhyuk asks me questions. I will also ask questions to Jinhyuk. This That''s a pretty interesting proposal. I had a few questions about the Mine Association, which meant I could ask them. Gawain''s words now have merit in that they can fill in the information gap. ''I need to hang out for a while to pass the time.'' During the conversation, I saw Penheimer doing something on the floor. It was an old, worn-out house, but as long as it was called a safe house. There must be a device prepared for something. Assuming you accept the offer. How are you going to guarantee that each other won''t lie to the question? You don''t have to worry about that. My unique ability is to force me not to break trust. [Gawain activates his unique ability ''balance of trust''!] [Both sides ask each other questions in turn, and the other must answer them truthfully.] [If you are silent, you must provide information that corresponds to the value of the question.] [Anyone who violates this rule will be judged by Libra.] In an instant, a huge scale made of bronze appeared at Jinhyuk and Gawain''s feet. There were sharp pieces of iron like saw blades. If you tell a lie as written in the status window, it must have resulted in a catastrophe in which the saw blades interlocked immediately. I think the trustworthy part can be trusted. I''ll ask first. Are you okay? Do whatever you feel like. I prefer the latter rather than the first. It was because I was able to think of more serious questions through the trivial information I got during the conversation. then . Gawain opened his mouth slowly. And. So the first question that came up was... . It was the kind of question that was completely outrageous. CH 212 . One Question One Answer (2) ...what now? The ruins ''The Tomb of the Antichrist'' located on the 15th floor of the tower. Please tell me the route to the 7th room there. Gawain repeated what he had said calmly. Antichrist''s Tomb. The 15th floor boss monster ''Wailing Witch'' resides. This is information that everyone who knows up to this point knows, but... . The problem is that what he''s asking for is the 7th room in the ruins. There are only three castle demons in the tower. It was a place where the Demon King and Demon Clan could be manifested through the Holy Relics. ''To find this place means to know all the locations of the holy relics.'' or not . ''Are you saying that you have already collected all the minimum necessary relics for manifestation?'' Either way, it meant that the demons who had been quiet for a while were not simply playing and eating. How do you think I would know where it was? Don''t be naive. We already know that you are a rotten figure beyond our imagination. Thanks for the compliment, but aren''t you overestimating me? You might not really know. Haha. You''re still shivering. However, whether that''s true or not is not for me to judge. If you tell a lie, the scale will just move as it is. The cogs under Jinhyuk''s feet began to vibrate violently. Now I can''t delay replying any longer. "If you go to the tomb, you will find a room full of stone statues of various monsters." The Chamber of Confession... you mean? Yeah. Find a place where the goblin statues are gathered. If you look closely, they have a cross-shaped arrangement. Having said that, Gawain also realized what Jinhyuk was talking about. Anti...the tomb of Christ. upside down cross. In other words, it meant that the goblin statue should also be rearranged in the same shape. That way, you''ll find the room you want. Jinhyuk finished his speech, but the scale did not even move. You told the truth. I don''t have a hobby of being a mousepo. Jinhyuk shrugged. These words are sincere. To die wretchedly was the end far from living a comfortable old age. And of course. Giving him the right information was also the same. ''Believing in a unique ability against me... It''s the biggest mistake you''ve ever made.'' Gawain''s unique ability ''balance of trust''. On the surface, it sounds plausible, but in fact, how it works is far from supernatural. Is it some sort of sophisticated lie detector? The ability to determine the authenticity of a horse through heart rate, respiration, and body temperature was rather close to that of modern technology. Of course, knowing that would make it almost impossible to deceive that unique ability. The human body is not a machine. How exactly do you control all of that? However, It is possible for the deceased. Because they weren''t ordinary people. ''great .'' Jinhyuk was already fully aware of his biorhythms. pounding! pounding! pounding! Maintain body temperature by properly mixing ''glacier modeling'' and ''element of fire''. Respiratory volume was controlled by ''shallow breathing''. He even deceived himself and overlaid the truth in order to lie completely. So a new truth was created. Instead of going to the 7th room, the road that leads directly to the room where the Wailing Witch resides. ''Go and try to manifest the Demon King in a hundred days.'' Can that voice even go near the demon world? On the contrary, you will feel very deeply how the Wailing Witch treats those who come into other people''s rooms. by the way. I was about to give up copying my abilities to a witch, as I could only achieve the copy condition by making a living sacrifice. Unexpectedly, the living products rolled in. ''It could be a total one stone two pair.'' At the thought of getting an unexpected performance, the corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. Now, are you ready for me to ask a question? "Ah, yes you tell me." Tell me how many Grand Masters there are players who changed to ''Black Apostles'' within the Mine Association. ...! On Gawain''s face, who continued to smile. The laughter disappeared in an instant. There is a saying that gives back and receives with words. This case is exactly the case for the proverb. Gawain bit his lip. ''In order to obtain information about the 7th room, we were prepared to hand over some information... .'' I didn''t expect Jinhyuk to understand something so deep. that''s the only thing that can''t be done The Black Apostle is a profession that can only be chosen by those who have been chosen by the Demon King or the higher Demon Clan, and no one other than Demons knew of its existence. Even within the Mine Association, the Hidden class known only among high-ranking executives is the Black Apostle. ''Even if I was so careful... I mean, it was this side that was still careless.'' At this point, beyond surprise, the fear of the opponent naturally rose. However, there was no time to come now and rebuke his mistake. Since I was on the scale, I had to answer the question. ! As soon as this is said, it will be revealed how many Demon Kings and Demon Clans have signed contracts with the players. Still, Gawain had to spit out this information. "Three it is." three... . Surprisingly, I signed a lot of contracts. Considering the level of the demons and the movements of the demon world so far, I can guess at what level they are intervening. This is valuable information that cannot be converted into money. Thanks for the good information. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. At the same time, the scale on the floor slowly disappeared. right then Whoops! A loud noise was heard outside. Dozens of torches moved chaotically as the metals collided. Since there was such a riot, the Empire sent guards, unless they were fools. I think we should part at this point today. It was like giving us bones and taking flesh, but I will pay for this with Jinhyuk-sama''s life next time. Um. I want to see you for a long, long time without killing me if possible. ...what else does that mean? what does it mean It means I don''t want to cut down a tree that gives as generously as you do. A tree full of delicious fruits. When winter comes, why cut down the root of the tree and already kill the tree that can be used as firewood? You should use it for as long as possible. " I will remember those words." Gawain also achieved the purpose of coming here, so he passed Jinhyuk''s provocation moderately. Then I stopped walking as I suddenly remembered something. Oh. Oh, and I almost forgot to tell you one thing. Gawain glanced at Jinhyuk. Did you say Cheonyuseong? "Chun Yoosung? Why is that guy''s name suddenly appearing?" It''s not a big deal. Before I came to the Empire, I stopped by the Moorim side for a while, and I met him by chance there. To be precise, I only saw him from a distance. Cheon Yu-seong is with Moo-rim at this time. That meant only one thing. A gentle breeze blew through the grass. The sweet smell of grass pierced his nostrils. " " Cheon Yu-seong, who had stood silently for a long time, slowly closed his eyes. Ugh... . The sword began to move slowly through the air. As if dealing with someone invisible, the speed and trajectory of the sword gradually became more dazzling. The object that came to mind was none other than Jinhyuk. It was the reason he climbed the tower and the purpose of remaining in this world. '' It must be surpassed.'' obsession close to madness. The desire to defeat even after giving up everything, and the desire to be recognized by the target, engulfed my whole body. Boo-woong! The speed of the sword increased by one step. Now one sword and one sword inhabited the dreadful mana. As the conclusion of ''Sword of Souls'' unfolded, a sword dance reminiscent of a storm unfolded. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! terrain that is uninterruptedly divided. The soil is dug and the grass is cut. ''beautiful''. Seeing the heavenly planet that became one with the sword, there was nothing else to express. How many minutes have passed since the frantic virtual showdown? When my whole body is drenched in sweat and I can barely breathe. It''s amazing. Indeed, I can see why it''s called swordsmanship among players. Seollin Baek came along with the scent of plum blossoms. Originally, it was a hostile relationship where we would have had to strike a knife straight away... . Cheon Yu-seong did not take any action even after seeing Baek Su-lin. "You would have said I was going down when it was over?" I did. But, I wanted to see it in person. Even though it wasn''t in real life, Sparring with the opponent you made me so obsessed with. Only the depth of the footprints and the traces of the sword was able to estimate the level of the opponent. Of course, even what the outcome was. ...I couldn''t get over it. This time too. Cheon Yoosung lowered his sword. even though I did my best. Even though I didn''t make a single mistake. It failed to defeat Jinhyuk again. No matter how many times I tried to recover, there was no way that I could overcome the monster. "Certainly the man I met at that time was out of the norm. If we fight properly, no one among the players can cut him." Sullin Baek calmly told the truth. dreaming A tendon sprouted from Cheon Yu-seong''s forehead. It was because among the players she spoke of included herself. Don''t be too angry. That''s why we came to you, Cheon Yu-seong. If you realize the magic of the sword and jump over that wall one step further... you too will be able to reach a level beyond human. " " I came to Moorim to become stronger. To catch up with that absurd sword attack. In order to surpass the strongest ranker, which makes you shiver just by facing each other. ''The growth period should be further shortened.'' He couldn''t be buried in Jinhyuk''s shadow forever. At least, this time around. Is it possible? In such a short period of time? You know. If you''re at your level of high skill, it takes too much time to break through a wall by ordinary methods. The climax, the climax, and the process to get there are never smooth. In the beginning, though, he was able to forcibly break through the wall through harsh training and expensive elixir. From that point on, no matter how much training and elixir poured in, it was useless. All that''s left is meditation... Or just getting enlightenment through sparring with an overwhelmingly powerful person. However. You mean that you can bring that much gourd here now? In the past, Cheonyuseong even defeated the plum blossom sword, which is called the first sword of the volcano. Of course, in order to reach that point, I had to grow a lot more in the future, but to deal with the monster Kang Jin-hyuk, the plum blossom swordsmanship was not enough. It has to be a stronger opponent. By the way. Sullin Baek smiled confidently. There is only one person. Yuseong Cheon has an extensive knowledge about Moorim, so maybe you know. sabak. With the soft sound of stepping on the blades of grass. someone came And the moment I saw him. How did the author get here... An earthquake occurred in the pupil of Cheonyuseong. A person who should never exist. A person who could never come to this place appeared. CH 213 . Chuhonsayeong (׷бӰ) Saak . A familiar energy tickled his skin. Although they had never met in person, Cheon Yu-seong immediately recognized who the opponent was. The person who invented the Chuhon Sword (׷ꄦ). Eccentric, which I thought would have died a long time ago and became a skeleton, has now appeared in front of my eyes. "Hmm. You are a child named Cheon Yoo-seong." She looks like she''s just passed her 20''s. Baek Sullin was also embarrassed if she was the second child to be beautiful, but even that woman was nothing compared to her wedding ceremonies. It was hard to believe that the aura that came out of her jet-black hair and clear eyes was like a fairy tale recorded in fairy tales. It wasn''t dead... it wasn''t. I was able to enjoy a long life thanks to the metamorphosis of the bones and the return of a child. Of course, there were some restrictions due to the tower... Was it like that? Giyeon gained while skinning the tower system and walls. Now I understand why Chuhonsayeong was able to be here. What is the reason for such a hideout... why did you come to me? I felt the same thing from you. A talent different from the criminal. And a desire that was not satisfied with that alone. Chuhonsayeong slowly fixed the sword and grabbed it. You have mastered the sword of the soul. It was quite interesting to see this child through someone else''s sword. However, it still has an immature taste. Whoops. The Basic Form that Cheon Yoosung opened a while ago . No, it was demonstrated that a sophisticated and elegant sword that could not be compared with him. It''s a perfect sword dance that makes you goosebumps. Cheon Yu-seong fell into the sword of Chu Hon Sa-yeong, enough to forget even the passing of time. ''Is this a true soul sword?'' If only I could learn all these phrases... . If you could make all of this your own. He will definitely be able to surpass Jinhyuk. And finally. The sword dance of one measure was finished. Chuhonsayoung looked at Cheonyuseong with clear eyes. It doesn''t matter if it''s a lie. If you think it''s a means to an end, I understand. Just swear that you''ll use your sword for me to reach the end. Even if it is dotted with pretense. And even if you don''t know what the consequences will be. Chuhon Sa-yeong asked Cheon Yu-seong to set the example of a teacher. ''already There is no other way than this.'' He was ready to throw everything away in order to become stronger. But at the last moment, Jinhyuk''s face appeared in Cheon Yoosung''s mind. I always thought he was an abomination and smirk. For some reason, the thought of seeing his disappointed expression made my heart flutter. Whoops! ''Don''t think of it as betrayal. Because you and I have been enemies from the beginning.'' The worries didn''t last long. I''ll see you, Master. Cheon Yoosung gave an example. When the time for sunrise is near. Jinhyeok followed Penheimer to the ''Imperial Treasure Warehouse'' located on the outskirts of the capital. While the seemingly plausible treasures were located inside the Imperial Palace, this was the place where the real treasures cherished and treasured by the Imperial Family were collected. We''re all here now. The door will be open, so please wait here for a moment. With a large cliff in front of him, Penheimer put his palms on the rocks. kukuku bang! Suddenly, the rock began to move left and right, creating a space that could fit one person. Hey. That''s a lot of work for humans. The way the door opens only when the authorized subject supplies the correct amount of mana. If this is the case, security will be sure. Elise let out a small sigh. However, the surprise did not end there. The moment you enter the treasure trove. Enormous treasures beyond imagination greeted everyone. ''After all, it''s absurd to have a plan like a giant force.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes gleamed with greed. From various magical weapons to rare Artifacts that were priced outrageously on the coin exchange. If you put this in front of you, anyone will have no choice but to salivate. It was painful to have to choose only one thing here, but if you choose the best one, you will be relieved to some extent. Oh! Can''t I choose just one? I really like this shiny gem. Elise grabbed a blue diamond the size of a fist with a remorseful expression on her face. It is not at the level of going to the streets of Hongdae and asking you to buy a favorite accessory. At a glance, they were trying to rip off the jewels that could buy all the buildings in Hongdae. They are coveting all the expensive wines... . As a Penheimer, I can''t help but get upset. Gye, Jinhyuk-sama was the only one who signed the contract, so that''s a bit... Penheimer was sweating as if in trouble, but it was impossible for such words to reach Ellis'' ears. thanks. Jusom Jusom. One by one the wines were sucked into the subspace inventory. No. I didn''t even say a word of giving. Yeah. I''ll do my best to help. Come on, wait a minute. Penheimer hurriedly stretched out his hand. However, the jewel had already disappeared into Alice''s subspace inventory. While the atrocities that are close to extortion are taking place. Jinhyuk was searching through the numerous treasures with the eyes of a hawk. ''It''s the best thing... .'' Sword, spear, bow, shield, armor, trinkets. None of them look bad. Among them, a pair of sharp daggers and a spear tinted with a magenta color were so perfect that they could reach out their hands without knowing it. ''Are these weapons made by Dwarves?'' Jinhyuk activated ''Eyes of Gluttony'' and checked two items. [Dagger made by craftsman ''Makmum''] Attack power: 2100 Durability: 1000/1000 -Details: This is a dagger made by smelting Orichalkon, known as the metal of the gods. It can inflict 100% additional damage to dark attribute monsters. However, the basic attack power is somewhat lower as it is made for decoration for high ranks rather than for combat. [Spear made by artisan ''Montrihorn''] Attack power: 5500 Durability: 3300/3300 -Detailed Description: A spear made by smelting iron from the Heuk Iron Mine located on the 25th floor of the tower. As a craftsman, it has very good attack power and durability, but due to the trait of black iron, it has the disadvantage of contaminating the user''s mind when used for a long period of time. There were some shortcomings, but this was enough to endure them. The other items also had more cons than pros. ''I can''t be here all day, so I''ll have to choose one of the two.'' But that''s when I was about to make a choice. A translucent glass bottle gathered at Jinhyuk''s gaze. The dark red liquid inside the glass bottle was emitting a strange energy. May this be... . no doubt Mr. Penheimer. I have decided. Jinhyuk put his weapon down and took out a glass bottle from the showcase. Hmm. Are you really going to pick it up? It looks the best out of all the ones here. The choice is up to Jinhyuk-sama, but if possible, I''d like to stop it. I''m not sure, but that''s... I know. Blood of the Red Dragon. ...! At Jinhyuk''s answer, Penheimer flinched. "Are you saying that you choose even though you know?" Dragon''s blood is usually used as the highest level of magic material. It flowed through the body of the Dragon, the crystal of mana, so of course it has a tremendous effect. The problem is that handling that blood requires extreme difficulty. Even the Empire''s chief mage failed to use this blood to strengthen their weapons, which means that virtually no one in the Empire can handle this blood. But. In fact, there is only one person in the Empire who can handle this. A rare craftsman who transcends magic and can handle all things. Yes. I''ll do this. Jinhyuk nodded without hesitation. Heh heh. If someone else had been stubborn, I would have said it was foolish... but I''m looking forward to something like that, Jinhyuk. Penheimer, who had to look at the situation of the nobles, said goodbye here. After lunchtime, the streets of the capital city were crowded with people. Thanks to this, there was a gap in the costly expenses. Jinhyeok and Elise were also able to mix in the gap and wander around the streets. It''s a long-awaited trip, but you won''t be able to see it to your heart''s content only if you hide like this. Ellis complained with her cheeks inflated. Since the time she can manifest outside the ring is relatively short, when she comes out, she wants to see and enjoy as much as possible. sure. Hearing such words from Jinhyuk''s point of view, only sighs came out. "You do you ever hear the word travel in this situation?" To the aristocratic faction within the empire... Heavenly Demon Protestantism and even the Demon Association are involved. Isn''t it obvious that players and giant guilds who have chosen a faction will also participate in this war? According to Gawain, Cheon Yu-seong may have eaten with that damn bastard, and Namgungcheon, who led the Chinese guild and then turned to Moorim, had to take care of it, so it was a pain in the ass overall. But. Hmm. Can''t we just wipe it all away? Alice still tilted her head with an innocent expression. Anyway, I don''t like Jinjo guys like this. Because I ignorantly push forward without thinking about it. If you manifest and play chess, the rest of the true ancestors will begin to move, and even the tower''s manager will intervene. It will be very convenient. Isn''t it? If you and I and that mosquito-catcher are there, I think it''d be worth a try if we all tried? Okay. I shouldn''t talk. Jinhyuk clicked his tongue and shook his head. timely. The destination began to appear. [Orun''s Forge] [The best blacksmith in the empire where you can feel the touch of a craftsman for 50 years!] [We accept alcohol as well.] [Kindness, service, love. Customer Satisfaction 1.6%] [No. 1 unfriendly store designated by the Empire] There were dozens of blacksmiths nearby, but this one was especially serious. It was just before the signage fell... Among the sentences written on the signboard in the first place, very suspicious things were mixed. Is this a good place? It looks like it, but it''s true that the owner here is quite talented. Ummm. It''s hard to believe... Alice murmured suspiciously and went inside. Druck... Kuk ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! A loud snoring sound greeted me instead of greeting. A dwarf with a hot, hot face can be seen falling into a sweet sleep in the middle of the forge. The old man with a small but strong body was the dwarf ''Orun''. Hello. Drink! excuse me? Drunk! Um. I brought some good wine. I can''t help it because I''m sleeping. Should I go to the blacksmith next door... Cheer... What? Su, alcohol!? Did you say alcohol? Orun''s eyes lit up. How can an alcoholic be able to respond to such a small talk? Well, I''m glad that I''m relieved of having to wake up bothersome. Kuhm. Yeah. What happened to you? I want to entrust you with one request. "A request? That''s good. How many hogus no, how many guests are these? It''s not that I don''t trust Orun, but may I try a test? Of course, I''ll calculate this separately. Jinhyuk took out jewelry adorned with various jewels on the palm of his hand. It was the bracelet that Alice was wearing. Hey! That''s mine, right? Shh! Huuu... Whoops! Jinhyuk, who quickly covered Alice''s mouth, looked at Orun again. Are you okay? It''s a test... heh heh. It seems that my trust has dropped a lot. Behind the deeply subdued voice, there was a deep sense of anger at being questioned about the skill of the craftsman and the feeling of self-help that led to such a situation. I don''t need a price. I used to be called the ''unquenchable anvil'' in the dwarven kingdom. I''ll show you what Orun is... from now on. Orun drew out a heavy hammer. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo An indescribable mana resided in a hammer adorned with ancient runes. And at that very moment. Ura-cha-cha! A hammer fell from the sky. Aww! [Enhancement failed!] [Queen Pendragon''s bracelet has been destroyed!] " " " " " " A brief silence followed. It was a really short silence. Heh heh. Have you been drinking too much these days? My hands just stopped slipping. Ahhhhhhh! Alice screamed as if she had lost the whole world. "Hey you damn dwarf bastard!" CH 214 . Unquenchable Anvil ''Orun'' (One) Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed when he saw the destroyed bracelet. ''also .'' As expected. Orun, nicknamed ''The Unquenchable Anvil'', used to be a great blacksmith who made the crown of a dwarf king by hand. After a series of events, he lost his position and was expelled from the kingdom. It is a situation in which he has been relying on alcohol for the rest of his life, and he only has to paste his mouth against humans. Even that, because reinforcement failures happen so frequently, even a small number of customers have turned their backs on them. Jinhyuk quickly checked Orun''s status window through ''Eyes of Gluttony''. Name: Orun Race: Dwarf Age: 71 Level: 23 Strength 23 Dexterity 13 Stamina 21 mana 1 Stat Points you have: 0 Occupation: Blacksmith of Steel Unique Ability: Breath of Metal skill: Lv32 ''Smelting(u)'', Lv31 ''Skilled Hammer'', Lv31 ''Continuous Strengthening'', Lv31 ''Fire Control'', Lv30 ''Weapon Workshop'' . [[Copy condition: ''Anvil'' and ''Five Hammer'' of ''Penta Horn'', the kingdom of dwarves] One of them is Orun. Unleash the heart of an iron craftsman who is already worn out and tired of everything. This will allow him to take revenge on one of his unique abilities and skills.] [Specificity: He has deep wounds, and is showing signs of severe alcoholism.] The word craftsman is not for nothing. Because the average skill level was over 30. ''Compared to the individual level, those who possess this level of proficiency will be counted in the entire tower.'' And in order to copy Orun''s abilities, there were conditions that had to be achieved. great. I roughly picture in my mind how to do it. The first thing to do is . Jinhyuk smiled at Orun as if it was okay. You must have made a slight mistake. Hmm! That''s what I''m talking about. I usually don''t make mistakes, but this time I''m in really bad shape. In that sense, can you give me another chance? Orun spit out the brazen remarks as if it were natural. At this point, it is not at the level of hairy conscience, and even shops specializing in Brazilian waxing refuse to operate. However. Orun-nim is doing this for me, so of course I have to give it another chance. Heh heh thank you. After all, you are a true hogu... no, you are a guest. Instead, could you teach me some techniques for handling iron? What? Iron? Yes. Oh! Of course, I''m not asking you to tell me all of them. It''s enough to adjust the speed a little bit slowly. Watching Orun, the best blacksmith, improve his weapons is worth billions of dollars to me as a beginner. While never ignoring it, he moderately lifts up his opponent and attaches a reasonable reason as well. There must be even the slightest bit of guilt for smashing the bracelet that Alice gave me... . It would be quite a burden to refuse. Heh heh. It''s not even a combat skill, it''s the first time I''ve met someone who wants to learn blacksmithing skills. Are all players like you? Well . If all the players were like me... maybe the whole tower would turn into hell? Just imagining it is terrifying. When you think of fossilized remains, giggles and huddles together. It means a different species. The only real skill is to think that working with iron. Fuhaha! It''s been a while since I thought I''d have to show off my skills properly. Where, watch carefully and learn once. Opportunities to see this body hammering don''t come very often. Orun went mad. And again, he fiddled with the heavy hammer engraved with runes. "Well it''s the perfect weather for strengthening. For some reason, it feels good this time." It felt like a fire was kindled in the man''s heart as it was covered with dark clouds and fog, and it was pouring down to the drizzle. The hammer soared high into the sky once more. Naturally, the items used as materials were the various accessories that Alice wore. Ah... no. That''s what I made to commemorate the inheritance of Gaju...! Alice shouted with a look like she was about to cry, but... . Gandaah! Aww! [Enhancement failed!] [''Ruby Ring of the Sun'' has been destroyed!] A dazzling firework exploded. This time the result was the same. However, Orun did not give in and swung the hammer again. Hey! kwaduk! [Enhancement failed!] [''Heart of Lake Delsus'' has been destroyed!] Wooohoh clothes! The hammer went up and down like crazy. Pop! And each time the smashed fragments bounced in all directions. this is hell At least for Elise. [Enhancement failed!] [''Rainbow Jewel Necklace'' has been destroyed!] My, my necklace! I only take this out on really good days...! Alice lost her temper and was running rampant, but it was already too late. Items destroyed by the blacksmith''s hands could never be restored. It had been quite a while before Orun stopped hammering. 11 in total. A whopping 11 accessories were smashed due to failure to strengthen them. No matter how thick Orun''s face was, he couldn''t raise his face in this situation. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh... Orun let out a rough breath. Feeling thirsty, he gulped down the drink that was on the table. "Damn even if I was only three days younger " Are you tired already? Don''t be rude. Do you know how much effort this can be? Even if it looks like he''s swinging roughly, he uses 3 or 4 skills in a complex way. The snap of the wrist and timing weren''t bad either. Everything was appropriate. However, there was only one reason why the reinforcement failed. '' trauma.'' The most important moment. An unlucky blacksmith who had to lose a loved one due to his own hammering. ''Now what I have to do is... It will help you overcome those scars and restore your heyday.'' Jinhyuk picked up a hammer from the blacksmith''s shop. Although it was much smaller than Orun''s hammer, it was a hammer that felt good in the hand. " he was a man with a lot of eyes. But, what was he trying to do?" "Seeing you hammer a few times, I think I can do it well enough." what? At Jinhyuk''s words, Orun''s teeth wrinkled. Up until now, Orun had only burst out laughing no matter what happened, but these words seemed to have touched her pride. Of course, that was also what Jinhyuk intended. No matter how great a blacksmith is, he''s drunk and his hammer has emotions on him... Why can''t I do it? I learned everything I could learn through hammering a dozen times. It''s ridiculous. Are you serious? Of course I''m serious. You can place a bet if you want. I''ll bet this in return. If Orun-nim loses, you have to listen to one thing I want. Jinhyeok took out the wines that Elise had brought from the empire''s treasury. Each of them was a treasure worthy of being called a pongee. Hmm. Surely, you''re not worried about losing? Well, it''s only natural that you''re afraid of failing like this over and over again... The important thing here is to raise the corner of your mouth by 13.5 degrees. Like, if you can do it, try it. And. The provocation worked correctly. ...Okay. I guess I''ll have to teach you what it means to work with metal. In an instant, the air changed. The loose energy was quickly tightened. [Orun activates his unique ability, Breath of Metal!] indeed . Who could have imagined that a non-combat-based resident of the production line would exude such a heavy sense of intimidation? ''If it was a normal match, you would never be able to win against Orun.'' Jinhyeok was close to an all-around mischief, so I thought he was capable of hammering to some extent. In Go, it''s probably 4 steps. In terms of games, how about diamond tier? It wasn''t very good, but it was a level that stood out among ordinary people. However, compared to Orun, his skill is not even reaching his toes. Even if Orun is unable to demonstrate his heyday due to past trauma. Even so, I proposed this match... . [You have achieved the copy condition!] [Copies the unique ability ''Breath of Metal''!] It was because I was confident that I would never lose in this battle in the first place. in any sense "The sport will do this." Jinhyuk took out ''Red Dragon''s Blood'' and ''Fangs'' from the subspace inventory. A group of tricky ingredients. Orun wrinkled the meat. I expected something difficult to come out, but I didn''t expect it to be this difficult. that''s the only thing that can''t be done The blood of the Red Dragon was the highest quality magic ingredient that even the Imperial Court Wizards could not handle. The ''fangs'' that you want to strengthen through it It was also a dagger made from the fangs of the upper Mythical beast Pentagris. "That way, you can measure your skills." ...Okay. Then, who will do it first? I''ll do it first. Jinhyuk stepped forward. Orun, who was watching Jinhyuk grab the hammer, snorted. ''What do you know about daring to deal with iron in a kid''s subject?'' He had lived his entire life in iron and fire. Outstanding talent and non-stop hard work. Only when both of them are supported can you walk the path of a blacksmith. ''Hmm Anyway, hammering is not bad.'' It seemed quite plausible to cut the start with the proper speed and timing. It seemed to be a familiar hammering somehow. ''Huh? Can you even do that?'' Orun''s pupils increased and decreased repeatedly. A series of processes in which a beginner is bound to make mistakes. It was because Jinhyuk was running as if he was too familiar with it. Its appearance even felt a kind of old-fashioned beauty. ''It''s pretty good. my It''s the law.'' However. it will be there Controlling the temperature of the fire and dealing with the dragon''s blood was a completely different realm. You must understand the essence of metal and feel its breath. In order to prevent the powerful magic material from gnawing at the iron, he had to read his mind. ''That guy can''t do that.'' Impossible. never. However, Orun never knew. [The unique abilities ''Breath of Metal'', ''Element of Fire'', and ''Blessing of Stars'' are fused!] [You have succeeded in fusion!] [You have acquired the unique ability ''Breath of the Fire Dragon''!] [The fused ability is stored in ''Memory of the World''.] [Breath of the Fire Dragon] Acquisition Difficulty: SSS Description: The dragon, the ruler of fire and the strongest race. Among them, the fire dragon ''Tencia'' made numerous Artifacts using fire. The power to penetrate the essence of fire and iron, this ability is the crystal that contains her essence. In the world . The fact that there are dead people who even take their efforts and talents and press them down. CH 215 . Unquenchable Anvil ''Orun'' (2) This is absurd...! An earthquake struck Orun''s pupil. I had no choice but to do so. If only a while ago, Jinhyuk''s hand movements were on the fairly decent side... . What I''m showing you now is a completely different realm. gulp. Dry saliva ran down my throat. Kaang! Kaang! Kaang! You can see the dragon''s blood seeping into the dagger through the bouncing flames. A very natural sequence of events. The realm of sublimation into the realm of art was far beyond the common sense Orun knew until now. '' Is that hammering?'' pounding! pounding! pounding! Orun''s heart began to beat rapidly. Something that had been forgotten for so long is burning once again at this moment. right then Jinhyuk''s hand stopped standing tall. The air that had been heated up like a lie cooled down. Why... why! Why did you stop here! As if he had missed the climax right before the climax, Orun put on a disappointed expression. A little bit now. With just a little extra effort, I was able to succeed in strengthening the item. It was in a state of being left with only one last hurdle, the most difficult and difficult. This is the limit of my skills. If you do more, the dagger will break. Jinhyuk shook his head calmly. so. The last one, Orun-sama, please complete it. The decoration of this end was decided from the beginning. You believe me...? Wasn''t this item precious to you? It''s expensive and precious. That''s why I''m asking Orun-nim. Do you know that I''ve smashed more than ten trinkets so far? I know. But it''s different from the first time. Now... haven''t you decided to hit the hammer again? " " Orun looked at Jinhyuk and the hammer alternately. It looked like he was worried, but it was only for a short time. I''ll try. Before that, try drinking this first. Jinhyuk threw a black bottle at Orun. hard! Orun opened the bottle cap and smelled the liquid inside. Orun frowned at the disgusting smell that pierced the tip of his nose. What is this? It''s like medicine, but... it''s the first time I''ve seen it. Of course you will see it for the first time. Because this was a hangover relief drink I bought at a convenience store. Trust me and drink. It will probably help a lot. There was also the problem of trauma, but Orun had another big problem. hematogenous alcoholism. Simply put, if you drink alcohol 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, your original skills will not come out. [Status abnormalities are resolved.] [Concentration and Sophistication are increased by 300%!] Orun, who poured everything in the bottle into his mouth, widened his eyes. can''t help but wonder My mind would be fuzzy and the drowsy intoxication would have disappeared in an instant. These are the essentials for modern office workers who are worn out from overtime work and dinner parties. It''s over... I''ll give it to you. I never imagined that such an elixir would exist. I''m glad that you were satisfied. Now, please show your skills to your heart''s content. I even gave you such a precious thing, of course it should be. Trust only me. Orun raised the hammer high into the sky with a determined expression. Don''t do it. You don''t really believe in me, so you believe in that young man? You can''t believe it! You can''t believe it! Elise screamed as her throat exploded. The person who tasted the bitter taste strongly dried it, which is a bit unsettling. Actually, I''m not terribly worried. The moment I thought so. Uh-huh! A hammer with various skills stacked hit the dagger. Even if it looked simple, it was a blow that had accumulated over several decades. ''please !'' huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Just then, a dazzling light came out. The inside of the forge was dyed white. [Amazing craftsmanship! You have succeeded in strengthening a relic that boasts extreme difficulty!] [Fang of Pentagris (blue)] Attack power: 5570 Durability: 2200 / 2200 Special Effect (Basic Passive): Every 3rd attack increases your critical rate by 7%. Self-Sacrifice (Active): If you destroy the fangs of Pentagris voluntarily, there is a 100% chance to increase your attack power by 100 times. The color has changed by one level. The green blade of the sword soon turned blue. ...it''s been really successful. Huh? Have you really succeeded? I can''t. Did I succeed? This time, all three were surprised at the same time. I thought that we shouldn''t be surprised by just one person, but once we succeeded, let''s move on to that issue. Because the important thing now was to appreciate the status of this crazy item. ''The attack is higher than the spear obtained from the treasure house of the Empire.'' Considering the portability and speed of the dagger, this was a ridiculous ability. In addition, thanks to penetrating the heinous probability of strengthening the relic, two unexpected special effects were also attached. Jinhyuk calmed his trembling heart. And calmly read the letters written on the status window. When hitting 3 times, the critical rate increases by 7%... . ''This is great too.'' The longer the battle, the higher the probability of a critical hit, and the 7% probability itself was quite high. The opponent will have no choice but to be embarrassed by the sudden massive damage. ''Furthermore It is no exaggeration to say that this active effect of self-sacrifice is almost a fraud.'' One-hit fatality (һؚ). If you take damage equivalent to a whopping 550,000, it will not be easy to withstand even a boss monster no matter what. This is because most of the normal mid- and large-sized monsters had less than 100,000 HP, let alone 500,000. great. The work was completed very satisfactorily. no, There is still only one thing. There was still more work to be done though. Jinhyuk smiled brightly at Orun. It''s a great skill, too. You''re right about being the best blacksmith in the tower. Kuh-hm! I''ve always been like this. So far, it''s been easy. I''m getting a little loose now. To be honest. I''m not the only blacksmith. Orun, who had a very high nose, gave self-congratulations. By the way. How are you going to compensate for the damage? Um? What damage compensation? We smashed all the treasures of our precious comrades. Of course, you have to pay for it. "Ha, but didn''t you say that you were okay you were going to move on?" I did. I did... Jinhyuk gently pointed his finger to the side. There stood Her Majesty the noble Queen, twisted with wrath. Isn''t this friend? Ugh! kukuku kuk kuk! Various objects in the blacksmith began to float towards the air. The drops of blood that appeared due to the ''Blood Rod'' were slowly rotating counterclockwise. Do you dare destroy all of my treasures...? And you''re only going to succeed because you destroy all of mine? Are you kidding me? Or you''re just hyped to piss me off. An unimaginable mana crushed Orun''s whole body. It''s the same feeling of pressure when facing Dragon head-on. This sure to die Orun''s voice became urgent. Only the will to live filled my head. Ul... can I compensate you for that? Do I have to give you 800 billion coins? 8000, 8000 eooh? Orun''s eyes almost popped out. This friend only treats expensive treasures. That''s a lot of cuts. My, where can I find such a coin? No, even an emperor is unreasonable to give such a reward. "Then there may be only the second option." Jinhyuk took out a piece of paper with mana and placed it on the desk. It was an application for a job at Goin Corporation. I shadow your application for the first half of this year. Our company that prefers IT and big data... What does all this mean? I can read it, but I can''t understand anything. It''s not a big deal. You don''t need to read it in detail because it''s a chore. Don''t read it in detail. Oh, I see. There is a part to sign and seal at the bottom. Yes. It''s right there. You just need to write Orun''s name on it. for a moment ! I knew instinctively that something was ominous, but... . Jinhyuk semi-forcedly obtained Orun''s signature. With this, one more reliable employee of the company increased. ''In the first place, production is not my area of expertise.'' If there are experts, there is no reason to spend time and effort and hang on to them. All that stimulated Orun was to copy this dwarf''s ability and fuse it with other skills. It was never meant to be self-made. ''I''ll have to try a more colorful fusion with the copied skills soon. Of course, training to get used to the skills must also be supported.'' If ''Daylight'' and ''Breath of the Fire Dragon'' are fused... . You will be able to obtain a wide range of skill beyond your imagination. A skill that has the same effect as a sweet potato''s unique spear. As he thought about the tasks he had to do in the future, Jinhyuk''s lips naturally rose upwards. It is still enjoyable to see that there are still many opportunities to become stronger and grow. But that was then. Great Ah! Great Ah! Great Ah! A long, high-pitched bell shook the castle. Maybe this... Orun immediately realized what the bell meant. And Jinhyuk knew what this meant. Pelomon''s servant. It only rings when the imperial capital is under attack, It is nicknamed ''The Last Bell''. It''s the enemy! Gather all your troops over the castle! Archers! The magic corps is on standby! All you have to do is focus your firepower! The guards must protect the ruins and the imperial family! You must never let them in! Mid-level commanders led the soldiers like crazy. It was hard to believe that the enemy had come to this place, located in the heart of the Empire. Even looking at the enemies approaching right in front of him, he could not deny the reality. Soldiers in armor and various units were busily moving in the city. Chunkyung! The catapult is loaded with huge rocks. The knights moved to the bases in the castle with their swords drawn. Porters and livestock carrying various strategic materials were creating a scene close to chaos inside the castle. Hey, there''s an enemy here. What kind of people have come all the way here? I''ll take care of that later and go inside. mom . The citizens began to evacuate inward to avoid getting caught up in the battle, despite being anxious. And . Jinhyuk, who was on the watchtower, was silently watching all the scenes. " " When I first heard the bell, I thought of a number of different cases. The most probable was Moorim, and the second rank was the Mine Association I met recently. Both of them thought that there was a good chance that they would do anything without hesitation if it was for a purpose. However, it was neither the Moorim nor the Magic Association that was approaching at a fast pace now. It''s going to be pretty tough this time too. I''m completely blown away. Elise clicked her tongue briefly. It''s definitely what it says I didn''t know they would come out like this. "Indeed, the best defense is an attack, right?" come. Jinhyuk grabbed the newly acquired fangs. CH 216 . New Forces Balance of the Middle Ages (1) ''I didn''t know these guys would move at this time... .'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. Coming out of the castle were medium-sized giants with a size of 5m. The number is seven in total. There aren''t many, but each one of them can''t be ignored. This is because one giant was difficult to handle even with a single company-level soldier. It was impossible to predict what kind of damage it would cause if it invaded the capital, the heart of the empire. I know that the giants are faithful territorial instincts... No, how did they get this far? No matter how weakened the Empire is due to internal division, it''s enough to miss out on giants of that size? Alice muttered with a face in disbelief. "Maybe he came through that way." Jinhyuk pointed to the river flowing to the right of the castle. A passageway where river and sea meet and flow inland. shipping. As an empire with seven kingdoms, it also has transport routes for transporting various materials. You mean they came all the way here by boat? I used a more absurd way than that. If you look closely, you can see that the bodies of the giants were filled with water. no way . "Water into?" Yeah. From the saints where they are to this place. They sent a detachment through the water. If you do this, you will be able to infiltrate the depths of the empire, avoiding the eyes of the border guards. The fact that the water wasn''t very clear would also have helped a lot in hiding the giants. I didn''t even know how to breathe underwater... . When he saw the trait of ''Nom'' who came up with this method, he must have found something ingenious. ''The king of giants... .'' Jinhyuk recalled memories of the past. Oggracun. He is a minority faction in the middle of the tower. A king who leads giants. The Empire and the Moorim are the only monarchs of a race that protected their realm even in the midst of great power. ''At the same time, he is also the one who holds the key to this war.'' In any case, the die was cast. Neither the Empire nor the Moorim, but by the hands of giants. What the hell did the border guards do to miss seven giants! Damn. We''ll get to that later. We have to stop it first! Shoot! Throw everything you can! You mustn''t let them approach the walls! Along with the urgent voice, there was a roar that shook the earth''s axis. thud! thud! thud! thud! The sound of a shock coming from a heavy body approached the skin. I feel the pressure as if a group of rhinos are rushing towards me. And at that very moment. KwaKwaKwa Kwa Kwa Kwa! Aww! Various magics exploded on the bodies of the giants. Fireworks and ice shards bounced in all directions. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Oooh! The giants, who suffered massive wounds all over their bodies, cried out. However, it only stopped speeding for a while. The giants mechanically reached the moat just below the castle. Damn it! I''m already here! "No matter how big they are, they say that this place is more than 20 meters tall. It''s not easy to climb Heo Eok?" One of the soldiers who was talking took a breath. Two relatively large giants grabbed the feet of the smaller giant. It was then thrown high into the air. A giant jumped over the wall at once, as if being run over. It is a place where archers, the weakest defense among the fortress walls, are concentrated. I don''t know if that was intentional or not. The only thing certain was the fact that it was nearly impossible to stop the giant with the defense forces here. die! The giant roared wildly. What followed was a one-sided massacre. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The giant swung a huge ax as if it would cut a rock in two in one blow. Aww! My, my legs! Sa... save people! Armed with iron armor and shields, the soldiers were torn like a piece of paper. It was an attack that overshadowed the option of defending at all. As the infantry broke through, the archers that were right next to it were exposed to the giants. Losing an archer, the key to long-distance combat, would be a strategically invaluable loss. It must be prevented as much as the annihilation of the archers. Especially if the enemy doesn''t know how to get here. "Everything is killed it''s gone everything!" The giant swung his ax frantically, muttering human language. Arms and legs were cut into fragments, and the air was stained red with blood fountains. But right then. Someone intervened in front of the giant. That''s all I can put up with here. Whoops! A dazzling blue brilliance shone down along the sword. The one who handles Aura. The strongest weapon possessed by the Empire. it''s a knight Wow! It''s the Knights Templar! Lord Melbourne of the Knights Templar has arrived! Now it''s done. I''m alive! The soldiers who had just been in Hell cheered for Melbourne''s appearance. Melbourne, with blonde hair and blue eyes, stepped on the giant''s arm and leapt to the nape of the neck. Melbourne, who grabbed the giant''s back, swung his sword in a flow that flowed naturally. By the way. Kaaaah! The sword, which had been running relentlessly, suddenly bounced out of the air. "Oh you stopped Ru?" An earthquake struck Melbourne''s pupil. no doubt The giant countered the sword attack with an axe. It is a characteristic of the race of giants that it is difficult to deal with only the superiority of physical specifications... . Hopefully, you have the means to counter Aura. '' Dangerous!'' Instinctively feeling a sense of crisis, Melbourne tried to escape quickly. But it''s already too late. This time, I wondered if the ax was inclined to the side. Kwajik! With the sword of Melbourne, it slashed its body in two exact directions. Lord Melbourne... being struck by a blow. Oh, I can''t believe it. What kind of giant are you like that? How can you beat that? Hope became a bubble and disappeared in an instant. The morale of the soldiers fell to the fact that the knight died in less than a minute. Keuk Kuk... Kuk Kuk! Humans... guys. Weak. We... are strong. The giant let out a bizarre laugh and twitched the corners of his mouth. He looked down at the humans as if intoxicated by his own power. Oh...the human bastards that have been tormenting us for a long time...I''ll kill them all today...and then serve dinner with the meat. The giant, inflated with a dream of predation, enjoyed the faces of humans more and more terrified. After all, it is the nature of nature for prey to be eaten without even the thought of daring to attack the predator. By the way. A human who had lost some cowardice approached the giant calmly. While everyone was trembling, he was moving forward without the slightest fear. Am I... did you hit me? Or... are you stupid? The giant tilted his head as if it was ridiculous. And then he raised his ax high into the sky. Just like I did to a knight called Melbourne a while ago. I was thinking of splitting the opponent''s head in the same way. Boo woo woo! The ax headed towards the man''s head with a terrifying blast. However . What the giant had hoped for did not happen. Aww! The ax, which had never stopped, was blocked for the first time. That too with only one thin, thin dagger. It''s not a bad weapon. Jinhyuk glanced at the giant''s axe. A meteorite that can withstand Aura. Because of this, the giant could not be pushed against the knight. In addition to that, the original strength and speed were unstoppable, so of course the knight couldn''t stand it. "Did the dwarves even intervene?" "Uh, how ?" What are you kidding me for? With the obvious. Such advanced technology is not the kind that giants can do. It can be called a blacksmith from birth, a kind only allowed to dwarves. A few powers got involved in the struggle for the interests of a huge power and suffered damage. In the end, it seems that they united and created another power. All my questions have been answered. It was a brief meeting, but thank you in many ways. Just... don''t make fun of something that has been blocked for a while... Khoo-up!? What happened between the giant and Melbourne was repeated. The difference is that things have completely changed since then. ugh play! Kak! The surface of the ax slowly cracked. Un-cheol, who had been holding up well with Aura, couldn''t stand his fangs and was splitting. What a blue grade. It is no exaggeration to say that the combination of Blacksmith Orun''s unique ability and the higher Mythical beast called Pentagris is still the strongest. "You what the hell are you doing ?" The person who will die soon doesn''t know that. It took a lot of hard work to come a long way. This is sincere. How hard would it be to walk in the water for days and days? Of course, he died before he was even properly rewarded for his hard work. at the end of that word. Scratch! The dagger blew off the giant''s neck. A huge head rolled over the wall. The ending of a giant who was so strong that his teeth trembled was too vain. Wow, aren''t we dreaming right now? Damn. What kind of dream is that after looking at the same thing? Which knight group are you from? If you''re such a strong knight, you''ve probably seen it at least once... The soldiers who were watching could not believe that what they were seeing was real. Some rubbed their eyes or shaved their heads with their hands. The newly appointed Knight Commander of the Knights Templar. Or a top-tier mercenary whose name is not well known. Most were convinced that the man in front of them was one of them. To that extent, the scene Jinhyuk showed now was incomprehensible to ordinary common sense. But that was then. Come on, wait! That person. He''s a wanted criminal, right? Agitation arose again at someone''s words. Yeah. A player from outside the tower. He''s the guy who made a fuss in the meeting hall of the nobles. "I heard that the bounty alone is money we will have to collect for the rest of our lives." Then, shouldn''t we catch it? Catch it? How do you catch that monster? Yes. No matter how many bounties are attached, what do you do? Is it a tree fruit that they can''t even look at with their own abilities? Moreover, it was not at all reluctant to point the knife at the benefactor who saved his life. Above all, what is urgent now is not the arrest of criminals, but the remaining giants? There were only one of the seven giants who now destroyed the walls of the city. To deal with the remaining six animals, they had to rearrange their forces immediately. However, Stay still. Jinhyuk calmly restrained them. What do you mean? Those who still remain down there... Who are you talking about if you''re left behind? The raid is over. Another player, ''Unknown'', has already stepped forward. A player wearing a mask engraved with geometric patterns was seen floating in the sky. [Ellis activates her unique ability ''Blood Lord''!] like that. The sky turned red. CH 217 . New Powers Balance of the Middle Ages (2) [[Ellis is Lv??] Activation of ''Heaven''s Blood Jade''!] With light gestures, the giants who were climbing the wall slowly soared into the sky. Anti-gravity magic. Aww! Mo... your body is free! Spheres made of drops of blood engulfed the giant''s whole body. There, skewers made of blood crossed the air one by one. Puffy! puck! The skewers pierced the joints precisely and dug deep into the flesh. It''s not meant to inflict fatal wounds. Rather, it is intended to obliterate athletic ability. The laws of physics that followed were overwhelming mana to chew on. A sphere that compresses in an instant. kwaduduk! Whoops! There is no such thing as a living organism that can survive in it. It took less than a minute for all six giants to be the size of a soccer ball. ''It was necessary to direct a scene like this.'' A scene where you and Unknown appear in one place. I don''t know, but if this video is uploaded, it will provoke a huge response. ''I already needed a lot of coins to purchase the items needed for war, but I''m just able to get the right number of views.'' Jinhyuk nodded his head as if satisfied. and one step late. Heh heh, heh heh, heh heh. Come. Wee castle. The Knights of the Templars and the Knights of the White Rose climbed up the wall. I''m not a slug, so I''ll use it now? It''s all over. Why don''t you go home and wash your feet and go to sleep? Jinhyuk died. cheeky! stop. One knight was about to be provoked, but another one quickly stopped it. It''s a familiar face Sir Talmor! Hey, it''s nice to see you again here. It seems to be more empty than the last time I saw you... Mackenshida! Mackensh. Yes. That was the name. I remembered it as something else, so I forgot the name. How. Are you okay in the meeting room? I was a little embarrassed because I was treated so poorly for being proud of myself... Ah! I''m sorry. It just came out of my mouth that I was only thinking inside. It''s this guy''s mouth that''s the problem. Jinhyuk patted his lips with the palm of his hand. There was a pretty squeaky sound. Profit! Mackenzie''s face flushed red. There was now only one comment that required copy conditions, maybe? A sentence that fits just right came to mind. Don''t raise your blood pressure too much. I''m going to want to eat a glass of alcohol with a well-cooked octopus. It''s slippery, so it''s a bit difficult to grab with chopsticks... Hmm. Jinhyuk pretended to grab Mackensh''s head with imaginary chopsticks. It''s over the line. Elise, who was standing next to him, let out an exclamation as if seeing a devil. This... damn...! Sreung! Mackensh''s sword is half drawn, but none of that matters. The only thing that matters now is that all the conditions for copying have been met due to the previous statement. [You succeeded in copying the unique ability ''High Speed Sword''!] [The copied abilities are stored in ''Memory of the World''!] One of the great Grand Swordmasters possessed by the Empire. He obtained the ''Speed Sword'', which could be said to be Abraham''s proprietary patent. ''Really, it seems more addictive than drugs.'' It is the crystallization of the talents and hard work that many strong people have cultivated throughout their lives. It was an act that was close to cheating no matter how much I thought about it. Of course, that doesn''t mean I''m not going to pursue fairness or other bullshit. The world is inherently unfair. And. In order to prevent the destruction of mankind and climb to the top of the tower once again. It was necessary to establish a position that others would not dare to overcome. right then Whoa... Mackensh, who was shaking with anger, managed to control his heart. Your Majesty the Duke is looking for you. If you follow me gently, you will be able to cancel your bounty and even receive a reward for defending your empire from giants. "At first it was intimidating, but this time it was consolation " In fact, it was a flow that had no choice but to flow. You have shown such majesty, but if you continue to be hostile, you are not a duke of an empire. He would be just a nerd with anger control disorder. Take the lead. Let''s hear the story. You thought well. Mackenzie took the lead. Jinhyuk and Elise followed. The meeting hall that was returned to was in a state where the previous wounds were neatly restored. Inside the clean tables and chairs lined up, the dukes of Weinsteln and other aristocrats gathered. This time, Penheimer and a handful of absurd ministers are nowhere to be seen. Perhaps, this seat was prepared by Weinstein. Unsurprisingly, I thought that the power of the duke of the empire was enormous. Come here. Weinstein, who was sitting at the top, welcomed Jinhyuk. Now, I''m not telling you to pull out the sword first. Hahaha, that was due to some misunderstanding. If a stranger suddenly appeared here using space movement, who wouldn''t be worried? Above all, it''s impossible to neglect the two people who killed the giants. Don''t worry, I''ll give you a fair reward. Seeing you try to compliment your mouth with saliva... . All future dialogues are predictable. You worked hard. you are the best So, let''s have some fun with us. If I become the emperor and put strength on my shoulders, I will give you a seat with confidence. etc. I would suggest such clichd, stinky, grassy plots and conspiracies. It seems like it''s going to be a long conversation somehow, so let''s shorten the conversation drastically in the sense of saving each other''s time. I don''t know what you can promise me, but to be honest, I don''t think any suggestions would interest me. I am the most powerful person in the empire. Information and items related to wealth, fame, or climbing a tower... Or, if you wish, I can arrange a wedding with the girls of the nobles. I guarantee you a beauty you have never seen before. will take it. Hey. If it''s such a person... Jinhyuk couldn''t finish the words. It was because Elise, who was standing next to her, poked her in the side with her finger. Uh... In an instant, a scream almost broke out. The horse was stabbed, and this is the level of a heavy armored knight sprinting with full force charging with a lance. ...to die. You. It''s a bonus to stare at them with young eyes. I appreciate your consideration, but I don''t think so. Besides, it doesn''t matter which duke I''m with. Isn''t it more important for the Empire to occupy important bases before Moorim? Jinhyuk quickly changed the topic. Hmm . Obviously that''s an important issue. I agree with that man, sir. The nobles nodded as if both of you agreed. The situation in which the giants preemptively attacked the empire. Given this great cause, the Empire must retaliate against the giants as soon as possible. Weinstein knew that too, but he couldn''t make a decision easily because he was holding hands behind Moorim. That is something that cannot be decided arbitrarily. We know the importance of the base, but do we know how many knights have died while attacking there? How much? Even if it''s a Sword Master, it''s more than fifty. Those are the elites I personally put my heart and soul into! Well . "It''s just aren''t all of the Duke''s subordinates incompetent?" In direct words, the duke''s mouth hardened on the spot. The faces of the nobility were also dyed white like a blank sheet of paper. There was only one person, Abraham, who was next to Weinsteln, and he grinned. It''s an interesting look. It is very burdensome to look at this side with a strangely twisted corner of your mouth. I know you''re great. Weinstein, who bit his molars, managed to speak. But, I can say that because I''ve never been to their sanctuary in person. Anyone who speaks fluently here... Let''s do it. Huh? That attack. We''ll try to make it successful. At Jinhyuk''s words, cold water was poured into the conference hall again. The night went deep. Jinhyuk and Elise were guided to a special room with more than 10 rooms, and after bathing in hot water, they satiate their hunger with a nicely prepared meal. Ooooh! I didn''t know I''d be able to eat such a gorgeous dessert. The Empire guys. There''s a corner that I like unexpectedly. Elise looked at the ice cream that looked like a miniature castle, and her eyes twinkled. When did you start hearing about sweet things... . At one time, it was a boss monster that greed for blood, but had a sense of weight in its own way. Stop eating. If you eat like that at this time, you will gain weight. Ah why. What do you do with what you eat? Don''t you know that 0kcal if you eat deliciously? Where else did you hear that expression? If you look at the view tube, everything comes out. shit. Now I''m starting to get confused as to whether this guy is a real person or a newcomer to college. I hope you eat a lot and get a stomach ache. Jinhyeok, who briefly clicked his tongue, got up first. Now that you''ve eaten and drank a lot, it''s time to deal with the piled-up work. Jinhyuk, lying on his own bed, edited the video he had filmed when he came to the Empire. How many minutes have passed? [Video has been uploaded.] A video was uploaded to Viewtube with a short message. Jinhyuk''s popularity has already surpassed imagination worldwide, so within a minute of the video being uploaded, the number of views started to run rampant. An unknown floor that even large guilds have not yet visited. The fact that you could see the nerves and battles between the tower''s huge powers, which you had only heard of, was enough to attract everyone''s attention. -The King: The more I look at Jinhyuk, the more I think he''s not human. How strong do you have to be to be able to do that? -Chicken Mayonnaise Mint Choco Rice Bowl: It was a juggling vs ultra fight, and it feels like my suitcase is suddenly floating. -Tecrates: No. That''s about the level that the manufacturer put in a bug unit. -The dwarfs are pretty: It''s cute to see the dwarves making a fuss in the midst of it. Isn''t it really all-around if you have blacksmith skill? -The Thief Next Door: Dwarves, imperial knights, and court mages are all made up for it. Ha ha ha. -Normal 3-type license: Last time I saw a ranker in Europe solving the Empire and Moorim Ssul once, but he told me not to even think about flirting because the level of the player is different. But looking at Jinhyuk, everything is cute and cute. However, the shock did not end there. After a while, Unknown wearing a geometric mask appeared on the same wall as Jinhyuk... , I felt a cold shiver run through my skin and spread all over my body. -Unknown is the future: Isn''t what I''m seeing now a dream? -Japle longnight: Huh Wh. -Mother''s back smashing: Isn''t it a meeting between Marvel and DC? -Premier League Watch: Messi meets Ronaldo. -Latte is CCL: Two of the strongest players in one place. I want my heart to be big. Comments added like crazy. The number of views is also increasing rapidly. ''After all, I thought the response would be good.'' Jinhyuk clenched his fists. The meeting of the two players, which is the hottest issue. At this rate, reaching 5 million views within tomorrow is not a task. In fact, the Raid video of the Gandhara Guild, which is currently in the Hall of Fame, was threatened. By the way. That was the moment when I was in the midst of rejoicing. smart! A knock was heard on the door. ...! In case someone approaches, it is normal if the barrier spread around it reacts. To come all the way to the door without touching it... . ''It''s not just room service.'' Jinhyuk reflexively pulled out his fangs. CH 218 . New Powers Balance of the Middle Ages (3) smart. Again a knock rang out. It''s too polite to be called an assassin. No, it might be more terrifying to show confidence like that. Come on in. Jinhyeok clenched his fangs tightly and looked ahead. rumble. When the door opens... . An unexpected person appeared. Hey. The hospitality of guests is Young Park. I''ve been to various houses, but this is the first time I''ve ever brought a knife in. A handsome man with blonde blue eyes. It was Abraham, one of the Duke''s close associates. The way he smiles while waving the half-remaining bottle of wine, anyone who sees it would know that he has been friends for 10 years. You don''t even have basic manners? Why do you come into someone else''s room at this midnight hour? Don''t be hard on yourself. Have a drink lightly. You still have plenty of time, right? Abraham strode inside without permission. Alice in the living room was startled and put on the mask again. And he quickly flew towards his room. come to He looks like a hamster running away from a cat when he runs away to his room. Why is that friend doing that? Leave it. It''s because I hide my face a lot. Isn''t it? Hmmm. There are some eccentric mages, though. It would be even more special if they were skilled in the ranks of great mages. A great mage? Elise? Did you not know? The magic that he showed us on the wall was so much that even Pilgrim-sama, the chief wizard of the Empire, stuck out his tongue. Seriously, it''s because he looks like a lot of hot water. Elise is actually a great being. Originally, it would have been difficult for the wizards and knights of the Empire to dare to receive Elise''s rank from the front. ''But how did I become such an idiot... .'' Jinhyuk licked his tongue as he saw Elise sticking out her face from the gap in the door. So you came all the way here to see him? No, I came to see you. To be honest, I prefer swordsmanship rather than mages. The theory is that combat requires direct confrontation. Why is it that all those who use swords are all crazy about fighting... Well? No. It''s because there''s a guy like you. It''s called celestiality. There is a guy like a dream tree in the medical world who turns into a bloodthirsty swordsman when he makes a sword. Exactly there was Now, the Moorim guys and I must have smashed into the opponent''s formation. I''m tired of editing, but just like you said, let''s have a drink. I just wanted to ask you something from my side. Jinhyuk sat down at the table. It''s nice that it''s cool. I like it. Abraham poured a red liquid into the clear glass. Since the table had already been swept away by Elise, the snacks were almost wiped out, but a few fragments of cheese would be sufficient. If you have any questions, ask them. If you can answer them, I''ll answer them. Contrary to his appearance, he doesn''t look like a bad guy, so why are you on the peacock''s side? At Jinhyuk''s question, Abraham''s fingertips flinched. Hmm. That''s a tough question from the start. The night is already short, and I don''t want to spend it with you all the time. Fuhaha! Yeah. You two can''t talk all night long. Why? You must know what it means for the Grand Swordmaster to stand on the side of the Duke and not the Emperor? You seem to know a lot about the internal affairs of the Empire, so don''t worry. You too know how precarious the current imperial power is, right? Emperor Reinhardt was a scarecrow emperor with both hands and feet amputated. It means that for the future of the empire, a new star is absolutely necessary. In other words, the princes who succeeded Reinhardt had to prove their worth. However. The 1st prince was old enough, but he was not the vessel to become an emperor. ''If there is an incompetent tyrant, he''s a good fit.'' He was ferocious and cruel, and he coveted the pleasure and power right in front of him rather than spreading his reign. The second prince, who was quite intelligent, was killed in a mysterious accident while out hunting. ''This was highly likely to have been done by the nobles.'' Finally, the third prince possessed the virtues of a monarch that will go down in history, but he was too young. ''It takes too much time to become a threat, and even the Weinstein''s will have to be noticed no matter how much Bainsteln is able to use the hands of the second and third princes. What is certain is that, before the 3rd Prince lays the groundwork and takes off, his wings must be ripped to pieces by the nobles. ...So you''re on the side of the nobles? For the sake of the future of the empire. The modifier of iron blood has long since disappeared, and the reality is that each kingdom is only looking to rebel against the Hoshitamtam Empire. Moreover, as long as there are Moorim and the Third Power, I had no choice but to make a choice. Hmm. The future of millions of empires is more important than an emperor, right? Why did someone with such a cause approached me? Abraham looked straight into Jinhyuk''s eyes. The anticipation of being able to change everything. Are you serious? I drank quite a bit, but not so much that I spit bullshit. I thought he was joking, but the smile on his face, who had been smiling all the time, had completely disappeared. This is sincere. I know the relationship between you and Penheimer. After all, the old man didn''t give up. So I investigated a little more deeply. A player from outside the tower that everyone in the Empire didn''t care about... Actually, how great is his skill? Was there. And how many achievements he has accumulated. All. Abraham took a sip of the wine. Actually, I don''t believe that a single human can change the world, even if the target is a Grand Sword Master who far surpasses the human realm. So it was attached to the peacock. If you can''t make the best choice. Because I had to make a second choice. However, I changed my mind a little after seeing you. Maybe, one human could really change the fate of the empire. Are you going to turn back to the Emperor''s side again? Betraying the Duke? Whether it will or not is not up to me. This is what my actions decide. Yes. [Lv10 ''Eyes of Gluttony'' determines the truth of what the target says.] [What Abraham said is ''true''.] At least I''m not lying. ''This is going to be fun.'' Because of Abraham''s whims, one big variable emerged. A Hidden card that can inflict fatal wounds on the duke if used well. ''The question is, how well do you use it... .'' Jinhyuk''s head began to spin rapidly. How do you plan to join us? As you said, without the help of the Empire, attack the giants'' bodies and secure a base. Proving your skills is the premise of all of this. Well, this is what I was originally going to do, so it''s not a big deal. Secondly. I heard that there is a friend of yours in Moorim. It''s not a close friend, it''s close to something like a leech... I don''t know what''s going on, but I''m very lucky to have the same side inside. No, you''re not on the same side right now? The second condition is to obtain information from the inside of the Moorim from him. Of course, the information we are talking about here must be useful for the charter. shit. I don''t intend to listen to this word at all. It would mean that he would move that heavy butt only if he succeeded in both of them somehow. Of course, even this was an unexpected harvest. That''s too good a paycheck for a break in the middle of the night. Looks like we''ve almost finished talking. Well then, good luck. I''ll get you up first. Abraham stood up slowly. With a little bit of worry and anticipation. Jinhyuk summoned that guy as he remembered something. Ah, I''m speaking to an old woman, but don''t worry too much if you find out that something went wrong and you betrayed me. What else does that mean? It''s not a big deal. It means that even if the situation turns out to be the worst, I can take care of you. A piece of paper appeared before Abraham. "The deceased a corporation?" It''s a great company. Is it a place to find talented people? Jinhyuk didn''t forget to make the last sales proposal. As a representative of the company, the talented new employee has always been Shadow. Time passed frantically as they prepared various preparations to attack the body of the giants. There were only a few things to do, as there were only a few moves, and even the fastest route to the giants took more than a week. You dare to ask Jim to carry the load? Alice frowned as she looked at the pile of things. But it was only for a short time. Black... Alice, who had a lump on her head, carried a load larger than her body on her back. Next, I caught my eye next to Jinhyuk, who was proudly grooming his weapon. I ordered T-Bone to focus on leveling up and growing in the bug burrow with sweet potatoes and other spirit beasts... . Called back for this job. Even if the other guys couldn''t, it was possible as much as the T-Bone that was contracted as an undead monster. Dalgrak. T-bone. It has become stronger. I will protect the Master. T-bone inflated her bare bones. uhm. I''ll have to give him a bath with ogre milk sometime. Just by looking at the holes drilled between the bones, it seems that you are lacking in calcium. I even felt strangely sorry for the thought of making me fight an enemy who was 30 times taller than my height difference. So, are the three of us going like this? Up to there? Yeah. Are you looking forward to it? Growing up with nature as a friend... On the way, I also pick mushrooms and eat crayfish. It will make you feel like you are camping. Alice made a face that looked like she was about to cry, but she didn''t know anything like that. In the first place, in the Middle Ages, would it be reasonable to say that it was a comfortable and comfortable trip? If it''s late, I''ll leave it. Jinhyuk hurriedly hurried his steps. Gee, wait. Dalgrak. Then Elise and T-Bone followed. How many hours have passed? As we moved away from the imperial capital, a secluded mountain road continued. The warm sunlight and the smell of green grass. to fresh air. It is quite a contrast to the spring in Seoul, which is full of fine dust and yellow dust. sure. In Seoul, the tail does not follow the usual daytime travel. Even more so if they have a weapon. Did you confirm? Alice quietly opened her mouth. As I quickly roll my eyes and look into the forest, I have no choice but to admit just one sense of mana. Yeah. I noticed a little while ago. At first, I thought they were like bandits. The guys to be attached to this time are completely different from those guys. ''I can''t even figure out the numbers accurately.'' CH 219 . Blood Sword (Ѫ), White Sand () (1) Shadows that follow at regular intervals. It had been followed several times before, but it was the first time they were so skilled. ''Are you going to show up when you go deeper into the forest?'' It''s not good intentions to be following you. If that''s the case, you just have to subdue whoever your opponent is and find out why. Jinhyuk licked his lips towards Elise. You take the three on the left. T-Bone takes the one on the tree. The other three on the right and the one we haven''t figured out yet... . I''ll take care of it. This time, hit the player first before the enemy arrives. It was a plan aimed at the point that they would be confident that they would never be found out as much as they were confident in their skills. Breathing slowly subsides to the sound of your heartbeat. A microscopic crack appeared in the air, and blue-tinted fangs and a twin dragon sword appeared from the subspace inventory. Ellis and T-Bone also took out their own weapons. now! With Jinhyuk''s signal. fault! percussion! Tuk! The three flew in different directions. Blood sword (Ѫ), white sand (). Called the shadow of the dark emperor, he is the leader of the Shadodae (Ӱ), one of the top slaughter groups in the Heavenly Demon Shintoism. Even when Amhwang was first interested in a player, Baeksa snorted. How great would it be if a player who had just entered the tower was great? Compared to them, who had devoted themselves to the training of cutting flesh and slicing bones, they were nothing but dust. ''I''ll just finish it off, and I''ll have to relax myself while hunting a few Imperial Sword Masters in moderation.'' Itchy body due to long pulmonary tube. The knights of the Empire with quite a bit of skill were not lacking enough to satisfy the needs of the shadow band. Filled with such anticipation, he slowly followed the target. Now, if you go a little further, there will be a suitable vacant lot for the admissions team. There, I was planning to finish the mission at once. By the way. Ugh! Suddenly, the target moved towards this direction. fast. The opponent had fully grasped this position. ! Reply! The white man instinctively shouted. Kaka Kaka! kwaaang! The shadows on the trees landed on the ground with dazzling flames. But. Despite the surprise attack, no one was seriously injured. Indeed, it is an elite movement. ''It''s pretty good.'' Jinhyuk lightly grabbed his fangs. I wanted to start by making at least two people incapable of combat, but surprisingly the start is not easy. Even Elise didn''t get any meaningful results. I don''t know where they came from, but at least they must have been a group at the top of Moorim. Of course, the current situation was embarrassing for the shadow band as well. "We did you notice that we were following behind?" The white man murmured in disbelief. Isn''t it strange that you don''t notice when you''re spraying a lot of eerie energy? ...It''s amazing. The Empire bastards kept their eyes open while we roamed the capital. That''s probably because you were dealing with stupid knights and guards. It''s quite good to hide your flag, but that''s not enough to get you around the palace. Especially the rest except you. Heh. It''s like, you''re speaking in a way that sounds like you''re higher than the knights. Isn''t it below? Jinhyuk shrugged. Except for Abraham and a few others, there is no one in the entire empire who can be his opponent right now. It was thanks to the fact that I grew up on an optimized route. ...it''s crazy. Lord, what is that guy saying now? How long has it been since you held the sword. Are you better than the knights who only wielded swords to die from a young age? Laughter flowed from among the shadows at the remark that would be ridiculous for anyone to hear. It was a good thing that he noticed the tail, but he just had a great sense of humor. Because players had unique abilities and various skills. You may have a little more power than others. That was the common thought of all. However. To say that it was better than the knights who could only be said to be the core power of the empire, which was a huge power in the middle class, was an astonishing bullshit. Why did you come all the way here because of a nonsense like that? There is no need for the Lord to come forward. We will solve it neatly on our side. Hey, I''ve only dealt with mediocre guys until now, so I''ll give you a bitter taste today. But even while everyone laughed, Baeksa did not laugh. " " He looked at Jinhyuk from the front with cold, sunken eyes. "Indeed, when I asked him why he was interested it was for this reason." The corners of the white man''s lips rose upwards. At the same time, he stretched out his hand toward the shadow table that was lined up next to him. I''m sorry, but it''s not at a level that you guys can deal with. "Dear, Lord? What is that " Are you saying that we can''t deal with that kid? Naturally, there was a mixed reaction. They had been together on numerous missions until now, but it was the first time that a white man had shown this kind of behavior. That would be proof of the sincerity. Yeah. Take care of the little girl and the skeleton goblin. I''ll take care of that guy. Sreung! The white man pulled out the sword he was wearing around his waist. A red blade in the form of a saw-tooth gave off anticipation. And the moment I saw the letters engraved with the word "Am" (). The Dark Emperor... Jinhyuk realized where the other party had sent them. Is that so? Jinhyeok muttered a little, as if he was now agreeing. I thought they wouldn''t be ordinary guys because their skills weren''t too bad. I didn''t expect it to be sent from there. In particular, the Heavenly Demon Protestant Church, which has just finished closing and is preparing to appear, will send one of their mainstays, the Shadow Squadron. ''That grandfather is the same.'' Jinhyuk remembered the dark hwang and then smiled. In the past, many strong people I met at the Tower of Trials. Amhwang was one of the few people with whom Jinhyuk was able to talk openly. There was a lot to learn in many ways. However, Baeksa took the meaning of that smile completely differently. Smile? Oh, I''m sorry. For a moment, I remembered an old acquaintance. I don''t know how serious the situation is right now, but you made a profit by selling his name to both landlords. It''s safe to say that this is a direct challenge to us. Pants! A red energy surged from the tip of the white warrior''s sword. I said I would take you with me, but if you resist, you may not be able to unintentionally put the matter in your hand. red black. Considering that colored Ganggi is a symbol of the strong... . Clearly, this guy was also a monster that was hard to ignore. ''I must say that I am the strongest among the Moorim people I have met so far.'' However. It is the same here that you can use ''color''. Jinhyuk held ''fangs'' and ''double dragon swords'' in both hands, respectively. [The unique ability ''Sword Graveyard'' is activated!] kukuku kuk kuk! A black river erupted from the swords of different lengths. If the guy''s Mugong had roots in the dark huang. The Tomb of Swords has its roots in the Soul of the Swordsman. Madu, who had the strongest and worst talents. An endless black color began to color the entire forest. Hey, what a crazy...! What the hell is that river? I can''t believe it... uh. How can a player have that kind of power? The shadows of the shadow band who were trying to face Elise and T-Bone stopped in their place for a moment. It is a feeling of pressure, as if breathing is choked. Goosebumps arose all over the body at the bloody energy transmitted through the skin. Khahaha! He''s a funny guy, too. I can''t take responsibility for getting caught in the vicinity and dying, so you guys should get away with it as far as possible and deal with the rest. The white man burst into madness. to end it. kwaang! The new model of the white samurai disappeared. I don''t even have time to blink an eye. The white man, who narrowed the distance in one breath, swung his sword dyed red in an oblique line. Kaang! light. The purpose is to attract attention rather than to see the match. That''s right. ''back!'' Jinhyuk reflexively defended the back of his head with his sword. Aww! This time, I felt a heavy impact and my body bounced to the other side. The reaction speed is fast and the strength is also top-notch. It''s great. The white man nodded his head in admiration. On the other hand, Jinhyuk licked his teeth with his lips slightly twisted. It''s a disappointment for me. What can I say? Do I have to say that the first taste is very bland for a large drink of Shadodae? ? what ? Don''t get too mad. Take a look. I''ll show you how to use the seasoning. Jinhyuk gently rotated the sword in both hands. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A black crescent moon appeared along the trail of the sword. [Black moon night appears!] It is a crescent moon that seems to swallow even a handful of light. This is spicy. A lump of ominous river water flew in front of the white sand. Hmm! Did you feel that there was an unusual energy in it? White''s eyes grew heavier. He wondered if the tendons were protruding from his temples, and then he immediately hit Black Moon Night in the face. Aww! The heavens and the earth shook with a great roar. The ground cracked like a tortoise shell because of the tile and ki storm. It is a blow that can be called a natural disaster. Avoid! "No, if you get caught up, everyone will die!" "Much more much farther away." The shadow crews who were a little far away screamed and ran away from the two of them. This is far more dangerous than expected. kukukuku! Smoke billowed from the ground. My vision was also blurry. right then tuk. A white palm touched the white man''s sword. "Did I say that I was pretending to be a disciple of the dark emperor?" false. How would you explain this? no way . It was a very brief moment, but Jinhyuk felt Baeksa''s pupils tremble. there''s no way you don''t know How could you not know? Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong (ħʹ), the mugong of the dark emperor. This is absurd... The embarrassment quickly turned into astonishment. ''It''s over.'' KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The shock wave that pierced the sword pierced through the whole body of Baeksa. No, I thought I pierced it. The turbulent energy is slowly being captured, and instead, the red energy has begun to fill its place. ...! Something is strange. By the time you felt that way, it was already too late. Puffy! A burning pain pierced his brain. From a place that could never be reached by location. Something passed through Jinhyuk''s right arm and left thigh. CH 220 . Blood Sword (Ѫ), White Sand () (2) Jinhyuk grabbed the wounds on his arms and legs. Throb! Red blood flowed from the spot where the sharp and sharp blade had been struck. However, what is more important than the immediate pain is understanding what has happened. That weapon... Jinhyuk''s eyes widened. The sword in the white man''s hand took on a completely different form than the first. ???????????? The saw bladed sword had stretched more than 7m. Yeon sword (ܛ). This is the moment when the true form of the sword, which had only looked strangely, is revealed. Predicting the trajectory of a sword is an extremely difficult weapon because you don''t know where it will hit. If you know how to handle it properly, it was the kite sword that was more difficult to deal with than any other weapon. Furthermore. ''You can even absorb mana mixed with blood.'' It is very unusual that the blade of the blood-soaked blade turns white. It''s like seeing a single white sand. It''s amazing. Did you even react to that? Among the teenage sects of Heavenly Demon Protestantism, you''re the first to take the first blow like this. You use very delicate things that don''t go well with what you look like. Mister. Although he was already an enemy with ignorant internal engineering and practical experience. When he grabbed that sword, his momentum completely changed. A red flag began to bloom from the whole body of the white man, as if there were wings on the back of a tiger. come. At the same time as Jinhyuk kicks off his seat. Zurich! The lotus sword swept the ground and approached. The sword struck the dirt and gravel and strangely changed its trajectory. Don''t try to predict that. He had to respond based on the experiences he had accumulated so far to survive. Kak kak! Kaaaah! Jinhyuk swung his fangs like crazy in the air. Even with a body that was strengthened through ''Sword Demon King Bo'', he could not shake off the soft sword. Damn! Surely you didn''t say you were going to be captured? This shows the will to fully play properly. I know it''s exciting to use a long sword, but it''s probably just a matter of time to catch a person like this. Don''t just run away, fight properly. How can a guy who knows how to use black power be so cruel! The fiercely roaring white warrior scattered the lotus sword in all directions. This is unusual. [The White Saga casts Lv19 ''Blood Death Rhythm Potion (Ѫܛ)''!] Hundreds of streams of river flow quickly engulfed the area. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The trees around the sword fell like toothpicks. It was split in half, whether it was a rock or whatever stood in the way. It has a fast speed and is strong enough to be ignorant of its attack power. ! Jinhyuk, who had been bounced off several times, cleared his breath. The ''Blessing of the Stars'' used to heal wounds, but it was too slow. Maybe that sword had something painted on it that made the wound worse. But without a moment to catch his breath, another attack followed. puck! Whoops! Whoops! left, right. left again. There was a hole in the part where the foot had just been standing. The lotus sword wriggling and seemed to aim at the instep, then turned around and aimed at the leg. It''s just one piece of paper. He barely avoided it, but this time, Jinhyuk''s body had one more wound. Uh-huh... As the amount of lost blood increased, his stamina dropped rapidly. The problem is that, due to the difference in the absolute amount of mana, the opponent has not shown any signs of exhaustion yet. ''If you keep defending, you will eventually get hit.'' Time is on the other side. If you''re aiming for a counterattack, that''s just stabbing at the moment when the ceaselessly rushing sword stops. Jinhyuk stared intently at the direction of the blade''s movement, even amid the splashing flames. come again Slightly changed the position of holding the sword. And the moment when you deliberately expose a loophole. Aww! A kite sword that flew in a semicircle struck the side part. heavy. However, somehow I persevered. ''now!'' The only time the kite sword shows a gap until the next attack is right now. [Lv11 ''Glacier Formation'' is activated!] [The unique ability ''Breath of the Fire Dragon'' is activated!] Two skills are used at the same time. Whoops! Pants... . The meeting of ice and fire. The supreme skill exploded in the same place. With this kind of gimmick...! Baeksa used the self-defense force to shake off the ice fragments and flames that were sticking to it at once. Since the hole was so deep, it was impossible to inflict a single wound on his body with this kind of attack. However. It was enough to get your attention. This game isn''t like that. Jin-hyeok, who put the twin dragon swords in the scabbard around his waist, pulled mana to the limit. To seize a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. To win even in adverse conditions. willingly gave up And now it''s time to take your opponent''s bones. Kuk... . Delicate fingers caressed the tip of the hilt. [Lv2 ''Foot Sword'' is activated!] It was then that the condensed mana was spewed out. ''White Moon Night'' The white old moon took its shape through the blade. At the same time, a single flash of light crossed the space. [The unique ability ''High-Speed Sword'' is activated!] When the ability of the knight praised as the strongest of the empire was added, the sword that was accelerating disappeared completely from sight. A sword that transcends cognition. A streak of whirlwind announced its beginning first. like that. everything . dyed white '' suffered.'' It wasn''t that I was careless. It''s not like I''ve got things in my hands. It was just that the opponent had dug into the only weakness of the lotus sword. That little mistake has the result it is today. With an attack he couldn''t respond to, the white man broke his molar and bit it. Now, after a while, you will pay the price for that mistake. I''m lucky to have my arm cut off. If you''re not lucky, you''ll lose your life. By the way. Aww! The Baekwol Night, which was realized with a foot sword and a high-speed sword, was shattered in the air. Someone intervened between Jinhyuk and Baeksa. An earthquake occurred in the pupil of the white temple. It was the same with Jinhyuk who opened his eyes. this feeling. this feeling. no way . no doubt The Dark Emperor... Zone! They both shouted at the same time. If it had been a little late, it would have been a disaster. I thought it was a kitten, but it turned out to be a tiger cub. The person who appeared in front of me was a person who should never have been here. An old man of strong stature looked at his slightly scorched palms and Jinhyuk alternately, and clicked his tongue. He said, there''s no excuse. I stopped being careless... Okay. It''s my fault for not understanding the opponent properly and giving the capture order. It wouldn''t have been this far if I had told him to kill me, but now it''s all meaningless assumptions. He waved his hand as if it didn''t matter. Then, as if he felt something, he looked beyond the forest. Did you send the lieutenant master and the shadow squad over there? Yeah, I''ve been told to deal with Iza''s colleagues. Hmm... you have another monster with you. It''s not perfect, but it won''t be easy for me to deal with once the restrictions are lifted. Dark Huang looked at the other side of the forest and murmured a little. Just the faint trembling of the air gave me an idea of what the situation would have been like there. There must have been not a single person standing on their feet. "You are the one who signed the contract. Even while you are continuously supplying mana, you are on an equal footing with white men and poking at the emptiness ." It was almost a success. If only the Dark Emperor had not intervened. Don''t deny it. If I hadn''t come, this fight would have been your victory. "In that sense, can''t we just do it as if we won?" What? Why. Isn''t there something called a strong man''s duty? It''s also bad for an adult to intervene in a fight between juniors. Fuhahaha! This is such a ferocious child. At Jinhyuk''s smirk, the dark hwang burst into laughter. It wasn''t anger, it was a smile that seemed genuinely happy. I wondered why this kid is always concerned, but seeing it in person, I can understand it to some extent. Any talent with skills and a witty wit is bound to attract anyone. Isn''t it Wolyoung? Dark Huang smiled softly. OK. A familiar shadow fluttered beside him. It was Wolyoung. " " Wol-young stared at Jin-hyeok with his eyes filled with complicated emotions. shit. It''s not like seeing a lost lover again. To be honest, it hurts my conscience a little bit to be faced with a face stained with betrayal and disappointment. how have you been doing? Master... no. It''s none of your business. I''m pissed This is definitely screwed up. Chuckle! Guys are very different. These old feelings will be resolved later. First, I have to tell you something. "If you have something to say are you talking to me?" Yeah. Actually, I like you. It''s too bad to throw away those talents and skills like this. Why don''t you join us? Heavenly Demon Protestantism prioritizes skills above all else. the brilliance of the family. personal past. Everything was accepted regardless. At the unexpected suggestion, the biggest bewildered was Baeksa. "Bizarre! What do you mean by that? Even so, accepting strangers from outside the tower !" Baeksa. Aren''t I talking now? Sorry... I''m sorry. When Baeksa flinched and curled his tail, the dark hwang asked Jinhyeok again. How about? If you come to us, you can only aim for the upper floors of the tower, not the middle ones. The guarantee of wealth and honor is also predetermined. More than anything . You will be given a chance to sparring enough to get tired of being a fighter. You''re talking as if I''m so excited for a fight. "Isn''t it? When I look at you, you look like a matte from the inside out, don''t you?" The Dark Emperor shrugged. This is it... . At this point, I don''t know which one is the grouse. But does the dark yellow know? The fact that even the proposals he is making now are just reciting the lines written in the script. '' I got caught.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. I didn''t expect to meet Amhwang here, but I was expecting an offer like this if I did meet that old man. It must be the instinct of a warrior to be attracted to the strong. In the past, even in the Tower of Trials, Amhuang had made such proposals in this way. ''It''s a pity that you can''t see all the skills due to the difference in time.'' Still, information about the dark sulfur was roughly grasped through the ''Eyes of Gluttony''. Name: Dark Huang () Gender: Male Age: 72 level: ??? strength ??? Agility ??? health ??? mana 15 inner hole ??? Stat Points you have: 0 job: ??? Unique Ability: Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong (Succeeded in finding out because he has a lower-level unique ability.) skill: The level of ''Eyes of Gluttony'' is too low to detect the target''s abilities. [Copy Conditions: You have always volunteered to be a disciple of the Dark Huang. If you make it a reality, not a lie, you can make the complete 12 meals of the Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong yours. (However, the minimum training period should be 1 month.)] It takes several decades to master the original martial arts of Amhwang perfectly. However, the period could be shortened to one month if the copying conditions were followed. The question is, how do you make use of this opportunity? . Jinhyuk thought for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth. If the Dark Emperor listens to my proposals and becomes a Primary God, I will consider it. From copying abilities to whether or not to use the Dark Hwang card in this war. A discussion that could decide all of that began. CH 221 . See you Master. A suggestion? Dark Hwang''s eyes narrowed. Yes. Even the Dark Emperor doesn''t want me to voluntarily join with you, don''t you? obedience by coercion. There is a huge difference between being willing to follow your own will. It''s funny. If you''re trying to make an offer in front of me, do you know who I am? kukukuku! As soon as the inner air of the dark sulfur was released, the entire forest began to tremble violently. A feeling of pressure squeezing the heavens and the earth engulfed his whole body. However. Jinhyuk did not change his facial expression even in the midst of it. What I would like to suggest is a reasonable equivalent exchange. If it''s convenient for me, I''ll pass on information you don''t know. I''ll also give you one reason why you have no choice but to accept my offer. It''s ridiculous. Do you think there''s something we don''t know about what you know? Dark Hwang kept a disappointing laugh. It was the most disappointing laugh ever. ''Still, I thought he was a guy who could tell the difference between a tile that could be eaten and a tile that shouldn''t be used... .'' Anyway, is the intelligence department of the Heavenly Demon Shintoism, which is said to be the best information group in Moorim, inferior in information power to a player? It''s good to be pretentious, but there''s always something good about it. How much less would you give me a reason to accept the offer? This was not a confident statement, but a statement close to arrogance. ''The level of confusing the two is... . It''s a pity, but he''s a talent that doesn''t live up to my expectations.'' A person with both gates and radishes. It must have been so difficult to find a machine that could pass on everything you had. Amhwang tried to stop paying attention to Jinhyeok, with a bitter taste in his mouth. By the way. The mage weapon ''Titan'' possessed by the Empire. The words that came out of Jinhyuk''s mouth . I''ll show you how to get rid of the ''mana regenerationstone'' that drives it. It was enough to blow away the disappointment so far. No, it''s not just blown away. The faces of the two men, distorted by surprise, changed quite noticeably. The fact that Titans move with mana regenerated stones... Even within the Heavenly Demon Protestant Church, only a small fraction of them know how to do that... An earthquake occurred in the pupil of the dark hwang. What are you doing? You... The mouth of the white man next to him also opened wide as if he couldn''t believe it. I had no choice but to do so. The ''Titan'' possessed by the Empire. It is a type of golem in the shape of various animals, and it is a magic weapon for great warfare that exerts great power. The Titan was able to increase the effectiveness of battle by 5 times, because it made the opponent''s square a swath with its very hard armor and incredible breakthrough power. In particular, when the knights corresponding to the sword master rode on a titan in the shape of a horse, there were many cases where even the best masters of Moorim were helpless. Actually just a few hours ago. Because the Titan Knights possessed by the Empire destroyed the three elite factions of the Fortune Teller in Rodmerius Plain. A way to neutralize such a titan was worth a thousand dollars. At least so that the Heavenly Demon Protestantism doesn''t suffer the same thing as the Murim. "After seeing the reaction, I understand that it means that you will accept it." " let''s hear the proposal first." "First of all, I want you to know that my going to Heavenly Demon Protestant Church is not just entering the school, but only a temporary relationship based on a contract." Are you saying you''re going to leave anytime after the contract is over? If I want to. What is that ! The best! Do you intend to comply with such an outrageous request? Besides, are you talking out of your mind right now! We''re not even scoundrels in the neighborhood, and a member of the church who has entered once can only leave the school when it dies! The white sand ran wild along the road, but the dark hwang calmed down his thoughts. Are there any other requests? Zone! Secondly, please make me call the White Temple and the Shadodae like my own limbs. The deadline is three days. Why do you say such a cheeky bastard... uh? The white sage, who had been holding the blood on his neck, widened his eyes. However, the white sand and the shadow band must follow me as they do to the dark emperor. Come on, wait! What do you mean? There''s no way that''s possible. Haha. Jijon, isn''t it? Allow. even if two conditions are met. It would be an advantage if we could find a way to deal with the Titans. Dark Huang judged the weight of the scale like that. Well, that can''t be... Please take care of yourself for three days. First of all, I think it would be better for Mr. Baek to relax his eyes. I''m starting to feel a little bit worse. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. Saying good-bye is sincere. Even though it''s only three days... . Perhaps, being next to the rock will make you feel like heaven. Are there any other conditions? One last thing. I want to get Wolyeong back. ...! At Jinhyuk''s words, this time Wolyeong, who had been silent, flinched. Don''t allow it. He seems to want to go back to you too. I ! It''s done. I''m not that ignorant either. Dark Huang ended the situation with a single blow. This time I ask you one thing. Why were you so sure that I would accept this offer? While Titan is a very useful card, I''m not sure that it will satisfy all three conditions. It means that you can topple the scale at any time if you think it''s bad. "That''s because the Dark Emperor will surely want to welcome me as a disciple." at the end of that word. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A dark red flag fluttered on Jinhyuk''s hand. Black Demon Hwanggong. Mugong, who was founded by Amhwang, is a German martial artist, and at the same time, none of the masters of Heavenly Demon Protestantism have learned... . It started to manifest through the hand of the player outside the tower. The road of Sura that has been walking endlessly, breaking through the limits. No matter how many times I washed my hands that were stained red, the scent of blood didn''t go away, but I thought it didn''t matter. That was the way to get stronger. Because that was the job for the main school. Moorim referred to him as the "Amhuang" and expressed his reverence and fear. However, the action that seemed to last forever came to a halt at some point. He felt the limits of himself. An area that can only be reached by those who have mastered all the 12 formulas of the Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong. Thirteen types of demons. When you realize that it''s not just talent and effort that you need to break through that wall. Dark Huang fell into despair. ''time Yes. I have no time left.'' As I climbed through so many trials and errors, I had no choice but to hit the wall of lifespan even after undergoing a metamorphosis. So I decided. If you can''t... . I will find a disciple who can make that possible. like that. The years of searching for the right talent amidst so many disappointments and despair. I was about to give up because there was no one who could live up to my expectations. Finally. found. Ha ha... ha ha ha ha ha ha! The dark hwang exploded in maddening madness. Yeah. It was outside the tower, not inside, so I couldn''t find it no matter how much I searched. It was like that. "If I had known that you would like it this much, I would have come to you right away." Heh. Did you really do that? You must have almost lost your throat while waiting. Oh my. Buddhist disciple. I almost turned the Master I met for the first time into a ghost. What? Is that what you''re going to say to your master now? Is there anything you can''t do? This is the master''s job, who welcomed the disciple the wrong way. So, let''s just accept it. Jinhyuk shrugged. The conversation continued so naturally and familiarly. The white man who was next to him had an expression on his face as if he was about to faint at any moment because it was the first time he had ever seen such a dark hwang. It''s a natural thing. Who would have expected that the Dark Hwang, one of the two best methods of Heavenly Demon Protestantism, would appear so weak? If I had told this to the rest of the big owners, they would have been sarcastic about how much alcohol I drank. And. The feeling of discomfort was the same for the dark hwang. It''s strange. Obviously, this is the first time I see you today, so I don''t know why you feel so comfortable as if you''ve been together for a long time. That''s right. All the players I worked with left the Tower of Trials and were left alone. The only people they could talk to were the residents inside the tower. Jinhyuk knew because we had been crying and laughing together and building memories together. About the dark-huang character. Of course, I can''t tell you the truth, so I''ll have to be ignorant here. It''s probably because they''re rooted in the same Mugong. Compared to Master, I''m a Mugong who lacks a lot... Hmm. I''m not going to ask you right now where you learned the Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong. You will have your own circumstances. What matters is not the roots, but the talent. Rather, it would be better if you independently realized the secret of the martial arts. Because Jinhyuk meant that it was written about whether or not to come out once in a thousand years. Minor parts of the dark hwang were passed on gracefully. It would be unreasonable to formally establish a priestly relationship right now. Since there has been such a commotion, the Empire will immediately notice and dispatch an investigation team. Perhaps. Probably. Come to the main school as soon as the work is finished. As promised, I will allow the shade band for three days. Amhwang handed Jinhyeok a flute made of uniquely shaped grass. If you blow this, a shadow zone will appear within one minute (15 minutes). And white sand. Yes, Zion. This guy is my master disciple from now on. From now on, set up a proper example. If you hear a strange sound in the future, I will ask the principal directly to take responsibility for it. Joe, John. The white man bowed his head with a sullen face. It was only instinctively realized. That these three days will be more painful than the years I''ve lived up to now. Jinhyeok, who finished his work with the dark hwang, headed straight to the other side of the forest. What? Why are you so late? Master. Are you okay? Dalgrak. I could see the shadow crews locked in a prison made of T-bone bones, and Elise, sitting on top of the prison, sipping freshly brewed tea. I knew it. I expected this to happen, but it''s a very one-sided result. Even with mana restrictions, this is enough... . How strong will you be when you fully manifest yourself? I had a dangerous curiosity to want to see its true value someday. There have been several things. I''ll tell you the details on the way. Um? But, what''s the kid in the back? That guy. Weren''t you tired of you telling lies? Elise found Wolyeong hiding in the shadows. You... what are you talking about. Tired of the blatant lies. It''s true. " heh heh! That''s right." It''s true that you lied. It is true that I felt betrayed by it. I''d be lying if I said I didn''t feel sorry. But the most important thing right now is not to release Wolyoung''s sprain. Attacking the bodies of giants is an urgent task. [The Eucharist of Giants.] Although it is an important base, there is a reason that both the Empire and the Moorim cannot easily obtain this base. This is because the barrier that spreads throughout the body is a very troublesome kind. ''Honestly, it''s not difficult to stick your tongue out even for some dead people.'' CH 222 . Citadel of Giants (1) A huge white tree towering in the middle of the citadel of giants. [Paradise Lost in Dreams] A 12-star barrier with absolute judgment effect, it is one of the strongest barriers under the 30th floor. If you go inside, you will see not only the upside down, left and right sides are reversed, but also the movement of mana flowing along the blood vessels will be distorted. For knights and moorims, where fine control is life, fighting giants in the barrier was like committing suicide. ''Besides, we can''t even estimate exactly how many kinds of curses there are that confuse our senses and abilities.'' Just listing the big ones would be enough. The dreamy paradise where the white tree is planted is still synthesizing a new curse even at this moment. It is not for nothing that the saying that giants within the fortress are invincible. ''But, it''s well worth the risk.'' If you attack the fortress, it is counted as attacking one floor. In other words, humanity can earn 90 days more. If you deal with the boss monster, you could get a huge reward in addition. ''First of all, I''ll have to figure it out slowly around the fortress.'' Jin-hyeok, who was hiding in the grass, looked around through ''Cheong-ra-mang''. By the way. ''Look at this?'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. A large number of mana reactions were caught in the wide-ranging use of Cheon-ra-ji-mang (_ؾW). It''s not just giants. The Empire and the Moorim were also encamped here. In particular, the Empire side was secretly deploying troops from as far away as possible. ''Are you planning something like this in the back of your mind while doing something like entrusting it to me?'' I don''t know why the words suddenly changed. There must have been some dreadful plan. On the other hand, there were also very familiar characters from the Moorim side. Namgungcheon. China''s top ranker who led the Chinese Guild was at the forefront. And. Beside him, Sullin Baek, who is fiddling with plum leaves... . ''Cheonyuseong.'' Even the jingle-eyed wretch revealed his appearance through the spur of the moment. I wanted to believe that it was not even one in ten thousand, but this proves that Cheon Yu-seong is with Moorim. Huh. Is that swordsman attached to the other side too? Elise clenched her chin and muttered. There must be something. What is the situation.... Just by looking at it, the boss is so vicious that he ran away. Why didn''t he usually treat his subordinates well? Everyone runs away because he eats them every day... Eup! Elise, who had been talking hard, suddenly struggled all over her body. Something filled his mouth. A lump with an unusual aroma and taste. He tried to spit it out right away, but it was after Jinhyuk had already covered his mouth tightly with his hand. Dog poop is medicine for a kid who talks nonsense... Again... uh!? Don''t worry. It''s not real dog poop. Instead, I added a lot of seasoning I prepared for a dinner party this time. The wasabi that I brought with me because the fish of the empire was so fresh and had a good texture, so I was thinking of making sushi or eating it. By adding mint chocolate for dessert, a pretty perfect dessert was born. This would be an appropriate punishment for damaging the company''s reputation with rumors. Uhhhhhhhhh! The nape of Elise''s neck became red, and then her entire face was dyed red. But it was only for a short time. " " After a few tens of seconds passed, Elise, who had been waving her arms and legs violently, became quiet. Next. Someone who has something to say. Please offer your opinion without reproach. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. As a representative of Goin Corporation, he was always ready to accept employee complaints with an open mind. "No, Master. I have no complaints with the Master. As a faithful subordinate, I will fight hard until my bones are worn out." Feeling a sense of crisis, T-Bone hurriedly rattled the lower pipe. He was quite quick to see if he had heard anything from the sweet potato and the spirit beasts. ...I, too, am satisfied. Now, the master has truly become the Empress Dowager-sama''s best disciple. Wolyoung also nodded hastily. Okay. I don''t think there are any more complaints. Then, I''ll explain what each of you must do from now on, so listen carefully. Jinhyuk started explaining the operation in a soft voice. kuung! kuung! kuung! On the way to the fortress, a heavy impact sound resounded. Kurre... A giant with a height of about 7m was patrolling with a two-handed battle axe. As soon as the surrounding mountain beasts and monsters felt the presence of a giant, they all ran away, so there was no sound of grasshoppers around. That was normal. Even giants have taken it for granted. as soon as. until now. Cree? In front of the giant''s path, a man with a snot stood there. Were you happy to find an unexpected snack? Saliva began to flow around the giant''s mouth. No need to worry about this. It must be eaten with bones. thud! thud! thud! It was time for the giant to close the distance in one breath at a quick pace. Chic! Suddenly, with a heavy shock, his body shook violently. A terrible pain pierced his brain. Aww! My my proxy! My legs! The giant clasped his ventilated legs with both hands. Hmm... Suddenly, a bow was held in the man''s hand. If you mix red magic bullets with blood magic, the pain almost doubles. I didn''t know this would work even with highly resistant giants, but it''s amazing. Jinhyuk nodded his head as if he was interested. Aaaaaah! The enraged giant limped and grabbed the battle ax again. Boo woo woo! A terrifying blast sounded as if it would split the heavens and the earth. But. I couldn''t feel the taste of the flesh being cut and the bones being crushed. Rather, I felt a completely different kind of pain in my whole body. Aaaaaah! I wondered about dazzling golden waves rising from the dirt on the floor. Soon, dozens of ropes bound the giant''s body tightly. It is a crowd control skill based on the divine series mana of ''Mandala''. A rather plausible temporary prison was created when frost feet made with ''glacier molding'' stuck to the soles of the feet. ''Since there are many copied skills, there are infinitely many things that can be used.'' We still have a long way to go, but... . Looking at the unique abilities and skills that were gradually accumulating, I couldn''t help but feel proud. ''It will be even more amazing in the future.'' Top rankers and residents If they copy all the abilities of the divinities beyond them. And if you can fuse skills of a higher level based on those abilities! Then you''ll be able to fight again with the guys on the last floor of the tower. As I thought about it, my heart started beating with a pleasant sound. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh! Don''t try. You can never get out of it by your own strength. What the hell... what is it? How can humans have this kind of ability... The wizards of the Empire were giants he had met many times, but none of them had such a short casting time. It''s a connection that I don''t even dare to approach at all. It''s all nonsense. I''m going to ask a few questions from now on, and I hope you answer them sincerely. I have nothing to say. Kill me... La! Hey. Even if you die, you can''t sell things about your people? Yes. It would be better for me to die alone... than to throw everyone away to save my life. this. I''m about to cry Is this homosexuality? Jinhyuk pretended to wipe his eyes with his fingertips. Of course, there is no such thing as moisture around the dry, dry eyes. Where, that heart. I hope it doesn''t change. Jinhyuk stepped back a little further. And the arrow was hung on the protest. If there is something a little peculiar, is it that it has a blunt iron ball instead of a sharp arrowhead? It was an arrow that focused more on destroying something than penetrating power. The giant bit his molars with a determined face. Even if you die like this, there will be no rest. By the way. Whoops! The moment the arrow penetrates a part of the body. The giant felt his beliefs crumble like a sand castle. Uh... uh... ah? Even though there is a degree of pain, this has crossed that line for a long time. Hmm. Maybe it''s because I''m not good at shooting bows these days. I was hit in a very bad place. I was trying to aim for the head, but the aim was too low? Jinhyeok once again threw an arrow at the protest. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! kwaduk! make a sound Something must have been broken this time. Goooooooooooooooooooo! I''m sorry, haha. I think my hand slipped again. Maybe it''s because I met Mr. Orun. My hands keep slipping too. Sa, please save me. Ji... I will answer any questions you may have. So please stop now. At this point, nothing but despair remained in the giant''s eyes. But it was too late. The time for peaceful resolution has passed. Before, it was the face of Corporal No. 3 Bong going to the battlefield. Why are you curling up your tail now? As long as the work is hard work, there must be a price for it. I''m not going to stop until I run out of this. If I have something to say, then I''ll go back and give you a chance to say it again. If it''s me, the remaining arrows... The giant''s gaze turned to Jinhyuk''s waist. At first glance, it seemed that the number of arrows remaining in the quiver was well over 20. mother . The giant closed his eyes. As the sun went over the ridge, countless stars were cast in the night sky. A garrison located west of the citadel of the giants. Numerous torches were lit up in this place where the elites of the Moorim were located. In case the giants jumped out or the Empire''s detachment was attacked by any chance, the guards had also been deployed without any leaks. If this were the case, not even a single rat would pass. Everyone was so sure until the human doll appeared from the shadows. A man in a black robe appeared through the tent to avoid the guards. Are you an intruder? This feeling... " " There were three people who reacted sensitively to the flag. Namgungcheon, Baek Sullin, and Cheon Yooseong, who were resting in their respective tents, flew in the direction of the shadow. There . A boy with a young face was standing there. It was Wolyeong, who was the number one salesperson in the Black Punghoe. "Aren''t you the one who was with Jinhyuk Kang during the European Outbreak?" Sullin Baek discovered Wolyeong''s identity at once. Namgungcheon''s eyebrows were curved in an inverted manner. It''s Jinhyuk Kang. That fucking bastard I want to chew on. Why did the guy following him come here? "I have come to tell you what the Lord has said." Wolyoung spoke calmly. Tomorrow night. Some of the barriers spread out in the fortress of the giants will disappear. It will be a perfect opportunity to attack. The lord wants you not to miss that opportunity. It''s ridiculous. Are you telling me to believe it now? If you believe it or not, can''t you just check it with your own eyes tomorrow night? If the barrier remains as it is, that''s it if you don''t attack. If the barrier is weak, you can pierce the gap. There is nothing to lose either way. Just one thing. Assuming what you said is true. Then, why is Kang Jinhyuk telling this? There is no way that serpent can selflessly share such advanced information. no one else knows Namgungcheon, who had been burned several times, was suspicious of anything Jinhyuk said. I don''t know the master''s intentions too well. The only thing for sure is that... if you don''t step forward, we''ll move on the side of the Empire. The base is one. There are two forces targeting this place. One of them is that sucking your fingers is inevitable. Remember, the barrier is weakening tomorrow at midnight. Wolyeong, who had said everything she had to say, tried to turn into a shadow again. Then, as if thinking of something, he glanced at Cheon Yooseong. And lastly. A cold voice pierced the eardrums of Cheon Yuseong. You said that you would hang it upside down in front of the living room of the pre-medical department of Korea University. Thinking about the old days, he added that he would allow a pair of panties. " " creepy A cold sweat ran down Cheon Yu-seong''s spine. CH 223 . Citadel of Giants (2) The place where Ellis and T-Bone headed was the formation of the Empire. As an empire boasting enormous wealth, the Titans and other knights, as well as thousands of infantry troops, were placed under the valley. Haha... it''s really far away. Even that anemone-like guy. How can you send me here for making one mistake? Do you think common sense makes sense? Alice took a deep breath. Speech full of anger. Because he had been moving for nearly five hours, his fatigue was at its peak. Dalgrak. I also have the same thoughts as Lady Master. Lady Master? Me? Yes. Aren''t you the master''s hostess? hostess . Alice pondered the word slowly. Hmm big! It''s been called by several titles, but it''s not a bad word. Well, a dignified being like me needs a title that suits it. Um, I think the person called the saint would be a little higher if it was elegant. I''m also looking for people around me through the Master, but the word elegant is the one that suits him... Hey . Yes? Would you like to make gomtang at all? Do you think the bone broth will come out very thick? Elise slowly raised the mana. kukukuku! Drops of red blood the size of a fist slowly began to spin around the T-Bone. " Woah, as expected, compared to Lady Master-sama, there''s no comparison between a saint and anything. Yeah. I''m glad I realized it now. Elise, who had a very high nose, scattered the mana she had gathered. Then, perhaps feeling a little relieved, he hummed and walked towards the barracks where the main army of the Empire was gathered. Of course, he didn''t forget to wear a mask that symbolized Unknown. In this case, Elise was only a substitute for Unknown. There were minor incidents with the guards guarding the entrance, but Elise finished the job peacefully. The place they arrived at was the private tent of the nobleman who was appointed commander-in-chief in this expedition. ...So. Tomorrow night, the barrier that spreads across the giants'' stronghold will weaken, so aim for that moment. Is this what you mean? Servant sent by the Duke of Weinstein. Count Hovier. He was an impressive man with a double chin and a golden mustache. It is even more impressive to chew the whole chicken on the table. That''s right. If you don''t want to lose your players to the Moorim, you''d better hurry. They seem to have noticed the barrier, too. It''s a barrier... Hovier stroked his beard. It was a story that stinks in many ways, but I couldn''t just ignore it. This is because the dance that the masked opponent showed against the giants at the fortress wall was so great. ''The character Kang Jin-hyuk is difficult to deal with, so even the Duke told us to keep our distance. Interest rates are not well understood yet.'' what tendencies you have. Or, is there room for conciliation? I mean, no one thought about it. ''If I could join you... .'' if so. Recruitment of the Archmage could be recognized as much as obtaining a fortress of giants. After all, isn''t it the wizard who boasts the best firepower in long-distance battles? Along with knights and titans, it was a high-class power that took charge of the three axes of the empire, so its value could not be measured in numbers. ''Even if the opponent has an excellent grade, if we have the trump card we prepared, we can prepare for any variable.'' The worries didn''t last long. I appreciate the information about the fortress. By the way. I heard that you are with a person named Kang Jin-hyuk, is that true? That''s right. They''re mutually supportive. They''ve become mean-spirited these days. Hmm. That''s a bit odd. What''s strange? As Elise tilted her head, Hovier continued speaking as if waiting. I don''t know why I''m with him, but there must be a limit to the price that one player can offer. How much more, why does a great archmage like you need to be bound by one individual? Hovier indirectly emphasized that empires can offer a lot. If you can lift your opponent up and at the same time let them know that you have a brighter future. will definitely come over ''How dare you refuse our offer?'' And at that very moment. You mean that if I''m with you, my wish can come true? The answer he had been waiting for came out of his mouth. this has passed Of course. Whatever you want, we will surely make it happen. Hovier proudly opened his chest. By the way. The crowd. Alice quietly shook her head. What do you mean. It''s unreasonable. You can never make my wish come true. Oh...don''t hurt your self-esteem. It''s not just you, but the others as well. ...It''s amazing. I don''t know how much capability we have, but we are the largest power in the middle of the Tower. The Empire. You don''t even know what I want? Again, it''s impossible for you. Honestly, are you saying that a human named Kang Jin-hyuk can do what we can''t do? Only that one person can do it? Countless troops and abundant territory. And a great empire built on it. Is it absurd to put that overwhelming power and one human on the same scale? However. Elise answered in a tone more confident than ever. "Even if I bring you all together, I won''t even reach that guy''s toes." The strongest and worst ranker. A player who silently faces upwards without losing confidence at any moment. If there is anyone who can make my wish come true in this tower... A soft smile fell on Alice''s lips. It''s only one of those guys. Time passed quickly. Let''s get closer to the time Jinhyuk predicted. The Empire and the Moorim, both sides of the formation, put all the nerves on high. As Wolyeong and Elise said, they really had to make sure that the barriers of the fortress were weakening. - This time, I''ll definitely cut the damn giant king''s head and get his base. -Empire must be cleared from the map before Heavenly Demon Protestantism is completely out. Only then will you win the battle against the Heavenly Demon. with each other thinking differently. I waited for midnight to come. And when the full moon is completely full. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The transparent membrane around the citadel began to shake slightly. no doubt Something is wrong with the barrier. Send the titans! We''ll figure out which curse has been dispelled, and then send the main force immediately! Hoveir screamed for his throat to burst. Each lord, organize a detached corps with a focus on the climax. If you can solve the barrier, you will be able to capture the fortress in half a day. Sullin Baek and Cheon Namgoong also quickly judged the situation and made a decision. A huge war cloud fell over the forest that had been immersed in silence. same time. Jinhyuk headed to the fortress of giants alone. As I entered the barrier, a strange sense of incongruity entangled my whole body. [You fall into a status ailment!] [The sense of front and back is distorted.] [Part of the curse was not triggered due to the 7-star barrier ''mana''s rift''.] [If you go deep inside, there is a risk of stacking additional curses.] Yesterday, all day long, I thought I was going to die while painting a barrier to weaken the ''Paradise Lost of Dreams''. Second, the lack of time or materials. This is because it was very difficult to find a gap in the 12-star barrier. ''The dismantled curse seems to be a curse in which the skill is activated at random.'' It was a bit disappointing that we couldn''t prevent the most difficult curse, the distortion of the front, back, left and right senses... . Does not matter. After all, this alone would be enough bait to catch the Empire and Moorim. Jinhyuk tapped the giant''s calf in front of him. You know? If by any chance, I had an excellent grade, such as calling the guards by telling a false code... Well, don''t worry. Don''t worry. If that''s the case, I''ll just make your Junior II unusable a second time. " " The gait of a giant who walks haphazardly is unusual. It must have been a serious blow to an area that shouldn''t have been hit. Techriosh. A deep, low voice rang out. A secret route that can only be opened through the mouths of giants. That''s why I captured a giant who was scouting around yesterday. kukukuku! A gap was created in a part of the citadel, which was only several hundred meters high, through which a giant could barely enter. Indeed, this is why inside information is the best law. I, I... I''ve done everything I have to do. I''ll stop now. The giant slowly stepped back. Ummm. I''m sorry, but that''s going to be a bit of a problem. It''s because I''m careful not to leave any regrets. Wait, no, I did this. Are you going to kill me? You''re a giant and I''m a human. It''s natural to have a kill-and-kill relationship in the first place. Above all, you''re going to notify the security forces as soon as I get in. Exchanging affection is a story that is possible only with a person who deserves it. Not like you, who can hit the back of the head at any time. Hey, hey! The giant, terrified, tried to run away with his back exposed. He was still shouting and trying to warn his colleagues. However. Awkward! No words could be uttered from the frozen vocal cords. It''s a pretty quaint statue. Jinhyuk muttered as he looked at the 7m-sized ice cube. The front, back, left and right senses were distorted, but there was no flaw in the fragments made of glacier modeling. As if that kind of restriction was nothing. right then kuuuooh! thud! thud! thud! I felt a pretty heavy vibration. The enemy... it is! Humans are coming in swarms! Tell the king. Enemies are coming! A harsh shout pierced the eardrums half a beat later. Finally, the two powers grabbed the bait. The Empire, the Moorim, and even the giants. The pieces of the chessboard began to move in earnest. ''I have to hurry too.'' Jinhyuk took a slightly awkward step. It looks like it still needs a little more time to get used to. jerk. How long has it been since you walked down the aisle like that? I wondered if my jet-black vision would gradually brighten, and then a dazzling brilliance came out. Garden full of golden roses. And a white tree standing in the middle of it. As if expressing the last paradise lost in the apocalypse, the scene was only able to arouse admiration. But. Even in the breathtaking beauty, Jinhyuk''s expression was hardened. creepy... . The sensations all over his body became extremely hot. My nerves burned and I could even feel the flow of every cell. No one else knew, but Jinhyuk knew. How dangerous it is to be in front of this tree. [Coin Exchange is open.] If that''s the case, all that''s left is to make a minimum defense. Jinhyuk quickly scanned the items on the exchange. among these . You need to find the Hidden Piece that will break through this difficulty. CH 224 . Dreamy Paradise Lost (1) A white tree that protects the dreamy paradise lost. The symbol of the fortress of giants and the root of all barriers, this tree itself is a relic that emits a huge mana. Of course, there were monsters that were attracted to mana. As a result, even without the protection of the giants, it had the means to protect itself from intruders. ''Because the giants didn''t care, I looked down on him and got a big nose injury.'' In order not to repeat that mistake again, this time, you must prepare thoroughly. [Sweet Perry Acacia Honey 1L - 1,000 Coins] [Breath of the Tree - 5,500 Coins] [Osium Mountains Glacier Water 100L - 2,250 Coins] [Bone found in B.C. 0.349365Kg - 10 coins] [Bone 349.365Kg discovered B.C. - 10,000 coins] Jinhyuk quickly scanned the material-type items he had purchased from the coin exchange. There have been numerous cases, but the only possibility to break through here is to buy it. ''Then, let''s start slowly.'' Jinhyuk dropped the ''bones found in B.C.'' on the floor. Although this item is a random gacha type, it is not known what kind of monster bone it is until it is materialized after purchase. Just one thing. There was a shortcut to look behind the curtain. ''You''re buying the bones twice.'' Bone of different weight must be purchased by accurately entering the decimal point, but the condition is met. This is information that I found out while squandering all the coins I had accumulated while immersed in the gacha. [Hidden condition met!] [You can choose one of 3 bones!] [[Ixed species ''Kechacoatatlas''] 1] [[Seawater species ''Tidalus''] 1] [Ancient Soldier 10] A golden status bar listing chururuk. Jinhyuk has a bitter taste. ''Damn, this brings back terrible memories.'' Come to think of it, I fell in love with this kind of gambling content and poured all the money I could afford to buy a triangular gimbap. It was natural to starve all day, and there was no bus fare, so I often walked around ten subway stops. Come to think of it, it was at that time that Cheon Yoo-seong, who was infamous as a PK player, was killed without any attempts to extort the bounty. It was the time when Jinhyuk, not Cheon Yoosung, had an argument first. ''So did you have such a deep grudge against me?'' Jinhyuk thought for a moment, then shook his head. No wonder the guy wants to hold a grudge over something like that... . More important than such a trivial thing is which monster''s bones to choose. ''Here is quantity over quality.'' Until now, he lacked the ability to handle high-ranking undead monsters other than T-Bone. It would be better to have those who are docile even if they are weak, rather than summoning those who are difficult to deal with. Jinhyuk activated his skill towards the piled up bones. [Lv1 ''Undead Manufacturing'' is activated!] [An ancient soldier is summoned!] [Ancient Soldier] Level: 3 Strength 20 Dexterity 20 Stamina 20 mana 20 Details: Soldiers of the now-forgotten ancient beast-type kingdom. If you can direct your loyalty to defend the king and kingdom even to death, the ancient soldiers will become incredibly strong subordinates in the future. Special Note: Due to the lack of proficiency of the caster, the size is limited to 50cm level. Intelligence is greatly reduced. It''s like looking at the SD character of an improper fraction. Judging by the pointed single horn on its skull, it looks like it''s a unicorn... . ''It''s not even 10% of the original ability.'' The robe of the archmage obtained from Lich, whom he faced in Europe, and Merlin''s staff obtained from the corridor. Even with the help of these two items, this seems to be the limit. Efficiency is falling, but that doesn''t mean giving up the undead. This is because the undead were the only ones free from the barrier of this fortress among all races. Moongak? Where are you? Dalgrak. It''s alive. The ancient soldiers, who had come to life again, looked at the dry bones. The black pupils and the white bones matched quite well. Hmmm! greatness! Jinhyuk coughed and cleared his throat. I am your master... Moongak. Master? Stop running around. I''m your master from now on... The moon. The moon. It''s the owner. What is the owner? Are you eating? Master. Master. There seems to be no end. Whoa. No. I don''t have time, so I can''t even teach you. Jinhyuk brought T-bone through the subspace inventory this time. Master. Did you call? "These are the ones you will use as your subordinates from now on, but while I prepare for the other basics, give them a good education." Yes! I see. Just leave it to me. T-Bone raised a salute like a bow. And while emitting a strange eye light, he approached the ancient soldiers. Shadow. I''m your senior T-Bone. Dalgrac. The old man who came a few days earlier. It''s absurd to see a lot of manure catching. Like us. Same. Undead. Why are you giving orders? The reason for giving the order is simple. I am the fundamental bone. Unlike you who were buried in the ground, it was made in heaven. You can think of it as coming from a kind of holy bone. Dalgrac. That''s true. Because it was an in-flight meal. Besides, Kodaejong, HyungNims, and Jinjo mistress who is said to be the strongest vampire among vampires. Have you ever heard of it? Oh, the ancient species. "Jinjo . dalgrak." They are great beings. "Yeah. They even have the spirit beasts of the 5 elements there. In a word, they are the commander of the bodyguard who is far higher than you." Sweet potatoes and even Alice will pop out. uhm. That wasn''t wrong either, but it''s a bit exaggerated, isn''t it? It''s like looking at Poppy next door and raising a Dragon. I wondered what kind of idiot would be deceived by such a word. It was the newly-born undead who suddenly believed in such a thing. Oh oh! It''s a great skeleton. It''s the first time I''ve seen an undead like that. Undead King! We follow! It''s sad that I have such a low intelligence. Because he blew the trumpet even in ridiculous bluffs. Well, thanks to you, I became more comfortable in the position of leading. While T-Bone was playing with his arms raised high, Jin-Hyeok started synthesizing the rest of the purchased items. Blowing ''Breath of Trees'' on ''Sweet Perry Acacia Honey''. The resulting sticky honey was mixed with ''glacial water of the Osium Mountains''. [You have succeeded in synthesizing ''Cheon Hye-hyang''.] [All plants are fascinated by this scent.] [Resistance is reduced by 10%. The effect of the curse caused by the barrier is reduced by an additional 10%!] [The special effect ''Taunt'' is forcibly activated!] Then at that very moment. Oh oh oh oh! The white wood responded to the scent. It''s a start. Jinhyuk took a stance. Boo woo woo! tsutsutsu . Numerous noises pierced the eardrums. Things that looked like the petals of a white tree flew up all at once. Insect-type monsters that look like butterflies. Butterflies with blue eyes and white wings that made my eyes shiver covered the sky. On the ground, large black-skinned centipedes and giant insects began to move at high speed. ''I''ve been hiding a lot.'' Although it is a number, the combat power of each individual is not normal. Well, that''s why the giants must have left this place empty. Butterflies and centipedes don''t matter, so only obstruct the path of large insects that come in the middle. Are you okay by yourself, Master? It''s okay, sleep and this is the only way. It would be easier if there was Ellis or Wolyoung''s support. They both had work to do. And that''s about it... . Even if you don''t know the body of the white tree or the king of giants, ''Ograkun'', you can''t whine already. That was then. Kie-ee! A long-lived beetle the size of a house came out of the grass. Although low in height, it was a medium-sized species reaching 4 m in length. The tongs on both sides moved to cut Jinhyuk''s body into pieces at once. But. quagga! The forceps were blocked by two pillars made of bone. Master. You don''t have to worry about the little ones. Hey. It''s pretty good? It seems like he wasn''t just playing though, didn''t he? Huh! No matter how many times I see you... uh huh? Boo, it''s broken! It''s broken! kwaduduk! Whoops! When the claws lightly smashed the bone, T-Bone stepped back in surprise. Anyway, if I try to give a little compliment, it''s like this... . Ttttttttttttttt. Jinhyeok, with his tongue biting his tongue, smashed the ground leaving the T-bone behind. A long-lived beetle and another pair of large cockroaches appeared, but as if waiting, the ancient soldiers threw their whole bodies to block it. ''It wouldn''t be bad if I tweaked it a bit.'' Sweet Potatoes, Spirit Beasts, T-bones, and Ancient Soldiers. Seeing the growing number of allies, I couldn''t help but feel strong. uuung! At the tip of the fangs, a white light was formed as a single point. The air dries up and the moisture burns. [Lv9 ''Daylight'' is activated!] KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The light, which had gathered to the limit, spread forward. Even if the insect-type monsters had a fairly hard shell, they were not able to withstand the wide-area Daylight at close range. A clear road through the white trees. Suddenly, Jinhyuk''s hand was holding a long bow and molars instead of fangs. The ''red magic bullet'' pierced the air instead of the arrow. A red flash flickered in the night sky. Whoops! puck! Keek! Keeek! Air holes were formed in the bodies of butterflies that were spraying dust from the sky. 17 in total. Butterflies that lost their balance fell to the ground. Except for just one. Ma, Master. Why are you leaving one...? T-Bone asked as if he did not understand. It''s been a long time since I''ve fought under a curse, so I can''t say I''m a little confused. There is such a thing as the face of a company representative. Jinhyuk answered briefly. Humanity. Even dead people smell like people. When I looked at it, it seemed that you had misunderstood the left and right. Can you tell me again? I can''t hear you. "That means it looks like you fired the bow in the exact opposite direction " Hey. Yes? Before you use the bones in your body instead of arrows, don''t have any unnecessary doubts. And I know that if I let even one of them catch up behind me, all of you will be sold to the Haejangguk house for bone haejangguk. startled T-Bone and the ancient soldiers'' bodies trembled thinly. At the same time, a question ran through T-Bone''s mind. Master or Lady Master... I wonder if our personalities will become similar if we are together. A large banquet hall located in the center of the fortress. A small bonfire in the center was all that illuminated the huge space. Across the flames, the giants'' images spread hazy. Oggracun. The enemy''s attacks are unusual. One of the giants opened his mouth heavily. Yes. late in the morning. Everyone is awake and gathered here... . All in order to take countermeasures against the enemies coming from all directions. Everyone''s eyes turned to the throne at the edge of the banquet hall. A throne made of pale iron and a white wooden insignia hanging behind it. And . It was Ograkun, the king of giants, who sat on the throne. Although everyone was anxious, there was no commotion in Ogra-kun''s face. " " Instead, as if bored, he slowly turned the glass clockwise. King! Humans put a number on the barrier. At this rate, the gates may be pierced. The Empire put pressure on the Titans and various siege weapons. Moorim was in the process of attacking the fortress walls step by step, focusing on top-level experts. " " However, Ograkun still did not respond to reports of mourning. Give me any orders. If you don''t do anything, the siege will become more and more dense, and the gates will be full of their forces. Yeah, that''s right. What the hell is that reaction...! Are you saying that we just sit around and wait until the enemies get bigger? That''s exactly what it is. what? We just have to stand still, doing nothing. If we do, this fight will end in our victory again. Oggra-kun drank the drink from the glass at once. The wine that flows through the twisted mouth. It was so bright red. CH 225 . Dreamy Paradise Lost (2) Scratch! With a cutting sound, the head of a grasshopper disappeared. Jinhyuk sprinted forward with swords in both hands. Keeek! Kye! He had already cut down an unknown number of bugs, but the endlessly flocking colonies had no end in sight. That was then. thud! thud! thud! thud! A monster of enormous size appeared from the front with a roar that shook the earth''s axis. Hercules beetle is the largest known insect species. kwaaang! Jinhyuk''s body bounced to the side for several meters even when the shield made of ''glacier modeling'' was unfolded. It was like a head-on collision with a 20-ton truck. However, the attack did not end there. Zurich! This time I wondered if I could hear the sound of crawling on the ground... . ''under!'' Sharp legs protruded from the dirt. ''Black Sand Centipede''. With a body length of over 10 m, it is known as the most vicious centipede. Without a moment to catch a breath, Jinhyuk quickly spread the distance to the side. But he was a little faster. Hundreds of legs wrapped around Jinhyuk in an instant. Kei... Two bright yellow eyes stared straight at Jinhyuk. Chi profit! As the saliva dripped through his teeth touched the ground, a smoky smoke rose. That must be a body fluid mixed with acid and poison. I know it''s my instinct to protect the tree...but I''ll have to look at the opponent and attack. You can''t even see the corpses of your colleagues who died while poking their heads out. Kieek! The centipede''s jaw twitched and opened. A terrible poison engulfed the surroundings. Melting golden roses and grass. It seemed that there was no living creature that could survive in the black smoke. But at that very moment. The poison that had obscured my vision disappeared in an instant. [The unique ability, ''Thousand Poison (ǧ)'' is activated!] There was a thick mist that could not be compared with the poison emitted by the black sand centipede. The ''Mugong'' that was copied from the Elven Forest. Thousand Poison (ǧ). The festival of a prestigious family, which made a name for itself through self-defense, was reproduced through Jinhyuk''s hands. Kee...Keek! The black sand centipede struggled in pain. No matter how strong the poison tolerance, it is not enough to withstand the hakjeonghong (Q피t), which can turn a person into blood in just one minute. The poison he suffered from in the first place and the poison of Moorim were very different from the root. "I was reluctant to use it against people because it was such a terrible ability, but you guys can use it to your heart''s content." Jinhyuk captured the black mist. The smoke soon took the shape of a skewer. A form inspired by Elise''s unique ability, Blood Lord. If you add ''Element of Fire'' to a skewer full of poison... . There is no more efficient way to hunt bugs. Whoops! Poison and fire mingled in one place. What followed was a rain of fire that could only be talked about in the apocalypse. KwaKwaKwang! kwaaang! Unsightly craters began to form where they were hit directly by the skewers. Mana consumption was extreme, but it can''t be helped. If it wasn''t for such a wide area, I had to spend too much time to get into it. Jinhyuk, who once again used ''Sword Demon King''s Bo'', took a big leap from the spot. The target was a butterfly flying around to dodge the skewer. Jinhyuk gently landed on the butterfly''s back. The butterfly is in a state of exhaustion due to the infertility, so she has not yet noticed that Jinhyuk is on his back. ''After all, the weakness must be seen at this height.'' A white jade that can only be seen in the sky. That is the source of the support of the white tree. Boo Woong! Belatedly, Nabi felt a sense of alienation and struggled to shake off Jinhyuk. It was not easy to balance, as his senses were already distorted, but Jinhyuk maintained his balance between the left and the right with an acrobatic movement. ''yet Not yet.'' He raked the mana while holding a skewer in his hand. To get the correct angle, you need to move the butterfly a little more to the right. Jin-hyeok, who paralyzed the butterfly''s sense of sight and smell with poison, skillfully created an angle capable of throwing javelins. And the moment when the white tree and the antennae of the butterfly form a straight line. Pants... . The mana and poison he had gathered turned into a spear that reached 2m. Jinhyuk threw the spear he was holding. A gust of wind split the air. Five dark red circles were drawn. Paang! The spear that broke through the speed of sound created a sonic boom that could tear the eardrums apart. At a moment where it could be said that they were almost simultaneous. The window collided head-on with the white jade. Aww! The entire castle shook at the javelin of absurd power. The shock wave caused the golden roses and grass to be bent sideways. However. Sheesh! Despite maintaining the perfect angle and power, the white jade was not destroyed. It was slightly cracked, but still kept its shine. Oh oh oh oh! A terrible scream echoed from the trees. If it had run rampant like this, even the tree would have realized it. That no matter how much you pour it into mass-produced bugs, there is no meaning. And. Also, that a human being has enough power to endanger his life. I am the ruler of this land. I am Tangrasil. For the first time, a deep voice emanated from the body of the white tree. tangrasil. It was not comparable to Yggdrasil, the world tree in Norse mythology. It was a giant tree that could achieve another myth if time passed. The fact that this guy started talking is also proof that the attack just worked. You dare to hurt me because it''s not enough to break into this Paradise Lost. Do you really want to die? Tangrasil asked. At the same time, a gentle mana bloomed from Jinhyuk''s body. I don''t want to die. More than that... It''s amazing... If it wasn''t for a bunch of bugs, I would have sold it to Rick right away. What, what? You''re selling me? There is one middle manager who mainly deals with strange things like you. It''s probably going to give you a good price, but I''m thinking about whether or not to just burn it down because of the bugs. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. At that death, Tangrasil was at a loss for words for a moment. It''s a natural thing. A life that is considered sacred to the spirits and lived a noble life. Even Ograkun, the king of giants, did not dare to treat him badly. But what do you mean? Why is it that a human who can''t live for at least 100 years speaks such wild words? ...I understand that you have adapted to the curse of the barrier that I have unleashed. But do you think this is the end of the curse that I can use? Well, there must be more prepared. But, is it because the curses in front are so disappointing? I can''t expect much. That word. You will surely regret it. [Tangrasil activates ''Second Curse''!] [Designates one intruder and absorbs twice as much mana as that target used in battle.] [The target is player Jinhyuk Kang.] It doesn''t matter if you use a sword, a bow, or magic. A deceptive curse that absorbs twice the mana used by the target if the target is directly involved in battle. That is why Tangrasil and the giants were able to defend this citadel for so many years. How do you feel? Even the sword masters, arch mages, and masters of Moorim who were proud of the Empire fell to their knees in front of this curse. Soon you too will be like those arrogant ones! Certainly. It must be tricky. No matter how much you attack, if you absorb twice as much mana... In the end, it''s like drinking seawater. Because it meant that the more you attack, the more damage you will do. It''s too late to regret it now. The sin of setting foot in my realm will be replaced by using its blood and flesh as food. Tangrasil sternly sentenced him to death. sure. Then I''ll use your body as fuel for the campfire. The bigger ones will be enough to burn all night long. Jinhyuk wasn''t afraid to say that. to the end ! kukukuku! like an earthquake. The ground began to wriggle. The trunks of trees rushed towards Jinhyeok at a tremendous speed. '' caught.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. The 12-star barrier has a characteristic that the divinities on the upper floors of the tower cannot see. In other words, here, you can use your abilities to your heart''s content without worrying about the eyes of the Egyptians. because i knew that Jinhyeok used three questions for Tangrasil. And. I also got an answer for that. [The unique ability ''Judgment of Anubis'' is activated!] [All abilities of the target are reduced by 50%!] A status window appeared one after another. "Hey, what is this ?" Tangrasil, who felt the strangeness, shook his whole body. you don''t understand There would have been no opportunity to face the abilities of the higher divinities while only being the lord of the middle class. However, the real embarrassment has only just begun. Judgment of Anubis had another effect in addition to nerfing the target''s stats. as soon as. [You will be able to designate a player.] That is, to designate a counterpart. squishy ! Even if I didn''t have to say it, the target was already set. The stems were cut off, and green body fluid was scattered everywhere. Aaaaaaah! Tangrasil let out a scream filled with pain. [The undead monster ''T-bone'' has been designated as the opponent.] [The potential of ''Judgment of Anubis'' rises to the limit because he uses his abilities without being watched by the Egyptian divinities!] [Necromancer-related stats temporarily increase to Lv100.] [Timeout: 0h:4m:59s] The tiny Skeleton Warriors are no longer there. There was just a knight who was 2m tall and armed with black armor all over his body. A blue light rose from the pupil, which was as empty as an abyss. This is an existence that is evaluated as one of the strongest of the undead series. It''s Death Knight. The end of countless experiences and growth, a state that can only be reached in a very distant future. T-Bone jumped over at once through the nomination of the opponent. Awkward...reckoning! Don''t you know that if you attack me, you''ll consecrate mana instead? I''m sorry, but I''m not considered to attack directly. Besides, I''m undead, so I''m not affected by curses. It is not for nothing that T-Bone, who is neither Elise nor Wolyeong, was brought here. Of the three, T-bone was the only one that suited this situation the most, so I chose him. I hope... it can''t be! Tangrasil hurriedly looked at the mana in the tree. It really is. Of course, the cut-off wound had to heal immediately. Whatever the case, the wound was the same. Throb! Throb! Throb! The same goes for terrible pain. I don''t know what kind of prank you were playing, but... do you believe in a toy like that? A Death Knight that is at best a Swordmaster-class? Not all Death Knights are the same. At least for this moment. Even the Grand Sword Master of the Empire, Abraham, or the 10th master of the Moorim, cannot be the opponent of the T-Bone. Because the powers of the Egyptian higher divinity have fully blossomed. master. T-Bone stood in front of Jinhyuk with his sword and shield. Order. CH 226 . Dreamy Paradise Lost (3) kukukuku! A black haze rose along T-Bone''s body. Mana equipped with an older brother. The intimidation emanating from the top-class Death Knight was completely different. The insects faltered and retreated. After all, the ''Judgment of Anubis'' that was completely activated without paying attention to the Egyptians can only be called a fraud. It was because I could feel just how strong T-bone is now just with mana transmitted through the skin. Please give me orders. Master. Smash the white jade. All right. As soon as the order was issued, the new T-bone disappeared. ! Feeling a sense of crisis, Tangrasil gathered a bunch of mana. A green mist spewed out of the white jade at the top of the white tree. It was a nerve substance that could paralyze the nervous system and focus solely on killing the enemies in front of it. Kie! Keeek! Immediately, tree trunks and insects rushed in like swarms of bees. [T-Bone activates his unique ability ''False Oath''!] A unique ability that only a few of the Death Knights can manifest, ''wrong oath''. The sword and shield were all dyed black. What followed was a breakthrough as if the storm had been moved as it was. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! When T-Bone swung his sword, Hercules beetle split in half in one blow. Kieek! A black sand centipede and a giant beetle besides it. Keeek! Whatever it touched, T-Bone''s sword couldn''t stand the Aura blade. The corpses of the worms that were cut into fragments were lying on the floor. A road made in an instant. The branches of Tangrasil trembled. Oh, Oggra-kun...! What the hell is Ogra-kun doing! Come right now. Come here and protect me right now! Tangrasil, feeling life-threatening, let out a long, long roar. He asked the giants in the fortress for help. OK. Part of the barrier opened, revealing the connection point between Paradise Lost and the outside world. [The 12-star barrier is dismantled!] Finally, there was a hole in the iron wall. ''It''s going to be a race against time in the future.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. Until now, if the battle with Tangrasil in Paradise Lost was the main stage. From now on, even the attacks of the giants must be taken into account. ''I asked for help, so it will take at least 10 minutes to get here.'' 10 minutes. 10 minutes... . That''s enough. T-Bone! Jinhyuk raised his voice. Realizing what that call meant, T-Bone immediately activated a new skill. [T-Bone summons ''Ghost Warhorse''!] A horse appeared with its whole body covered in translucent armor. Hey hey! T-Bone mounted a green ghost steed, spurring the pace. It was difficult to block in the first place, but when the acceleration and shock amount due to the ghost warhorse were added, it was impossible to even stand in front of it. Now it''s right in front of you. There were only a few steps left until the sword smashed the white jade. But right then. creepy A cool sensation ran across Jinhyuk''s back. there is something It wasn''t Tangrasil, but it felt like someone was staring at me from the side. ...! My body reacted earlier than I thought. A skewer made of celestial poison flew to the spot where his gaze was directed. kwaang! However, the thorn did not penetrate the target. Instead, it was offset by something and crumbled as it was. That guy must be How the hell... He''s a very quick-tempered person. no doubt At the edge of Paradise Lost stood Ograkun, the king of giants. master! A strange thing happened to the T-bone side as well. Five giants intervened between Tangrasil and T-Bone. Don''t sell your eyes. Undead. Your opponent is us! The black ax and clubs took T-Bone''s sword. Weapons made to withstand Aura, just like those seen in the imperial capital. The number is twelve in total. Given the timing and location of their appearance, it is no coincidence that they intervened here. ''Did you dig a trap?'' Jinhyuk quickly activated the ''Eyes of Gluttony''. [Oggra-kun] Race: Giant Age: 133 Level: 80 Strength 114 Dexterity 48 Stamina 75 mana 7 Unique Ability: Berserker skill: Lv15 ''The Lord''s Command'', Lv14 ''Weapon Lightening'', Lv14 ''Weapon Master'', Lv14 ''Perseverance'', Lv13 ''Strategy'' Characteristics: Ograkun is relatively intelligent even among the giants, and is a fine lord due to his numerous battle experiences. Since he is a rational personality who can perfectly evaluate the gains and losses of understanding, if he understands that well, he may be able to avoid a fight unexpectedly. [Copy Conditions: Giants revere strength and physical beauty. While undressing as much as possible, hit the opponent with only ''strength''. (The area of clothing and the increase in strength are inversely proportional.) If you do that, you can copy one of Ograkun''s unique abilities and skills. It will be possible.] Ograkun, king of giants. Standing about 4 meters tall, this giant was too shabby for a giant who revered its size. In fact, the giant that Jinhyuk lured to enter this fortress also reached the 7m level. Even so, Ograkun subdued countless giants and reigned supreme... . It was because he had such an overwhelming ability. Ugh... . Ograkun lightly lifted the sword that was resting on his shoulder. A sword approaching his height drew an arc gently. You look like you don''t understand why I''m already here. It''s been less than a minute since Tangrasil asked for help. Yeah. If it was normal, the white jade would be broken and the tangrasil would also have disappeared. The battle would have ended in your victory. However. Since the scouts were missing, we had already predicted that the intruder would be aiming for Paradise Lost. Of course, we didn''t expect that the intruder would be strong enough to weaken the barrier. "This one I ate one shot well. But would it be okay? If your guy comes here with the main force. The rest of the guys won''t be able to stop the joint attack of the Empire and the Moorim, right?" The departure of the core power could soon lead to the collapse of the whole. Better go back before it''s too late. Unless you want to lose all of the fort. However. There was still no sign of agitation on Ogra Kun''s face. Rather, he casually scratched the ball. The wall has already been abandoned. Perhaps, in a little while, some of the troops sent from both sides of the Empire and Moorim will reach here. I... is it your mind? Did you intentionally give up the wall? Such nonsense. What crazy commander would give up his only advantage? Jinhyuk frowned at the incomprehensible behavior. What else can''t be done? If we weaken the boundary of the fortress by ourselves, the Empire and the Moorim side will finally decide that it is possible to attack the fortress. That is the sea I want. The two factions, who were at odds with each other, make the achievement of their goal a reality. As the thought continued to that point, something flashed through Jinhyuk''s mind. "Are you going to make them fight for control of this place?" The first priority is to attack the fortress. And the second priority is which side has the citadel. Of course, there is no reason for both of them to give up their base, so it must be a definite fact that each will turn their swords to each other. That is exactly what Ograkun was aiming for. Considering that the number of troops in the main unit that came here is smaller than expected, it seems that a separate unit has also been prepared. They must be aiming for supply with other races dissatisfied with the Empire or Moorim. Huh? Did you even notice that? A gleam passed through Ogra-kun''s eyes. No matter how many separate units there are, it is not enough to annihilate the enemy''s main force. In order to achieve a perfect victory, the enemy''s rear ... must be aimed at replenishment if possible. Hmm. If you had led one of the two factions, it would have been a much more interesting fight. Well. If I were the commander-in-chief, would this place have already turned into a sea of fire? It could have been. But, this time, it''s like I''ve been beaten by my hand. Yes. At first glance, this seems like a very neat strategy. The plan is to protect Paradise Lost and at the same time cut off the supply route by making the two factions vigilant. It is a structure in which there is no choice but to win by itself even if you are still in the fortress. But that''s it. "Do you know that your plan can only be realized if supported by one major premise?" What premise are you talking about? The premise that only you and the troops here should protect Tangrasil. If that doesn''t work, everything will be in vain. Haha. So. I may not be able to stop you alone... Is this what you want to say? A gust of wind flowed from Ogra-kun''s mouth. It is natural to say that it is not funny. It was true that the Death Knight and Ghost Steed, who had been rampaging a while ago, were a threat. That''s the story when it lasted forever. After the time limit has passed, T-Bone has already lost his dignity as a Death Knight. Jinhyuk was the only one left. If it''s not easy to lead a corps, what can you do with just one person? However. There was one thing Ograkun didn''t know. Rather than gathering the power of one force. The odds are good enough. As long as the barrier is dismantled, I won''t have to worry about losing mana anymore. The fact that one person can have a greater influence. [Lv5 ''Claws that cover the moon'' appear!] A strong energy reminiscent of the claws of beasts rose from Jinhyuk''s left hand. [The unique ability ''Colossus Strike'' is activated!] In his right hand, the spirit of the giants resided. There. When the ''white wild beast'' obtained from ''Caracal'' of the Frost Blades tribe was overlaid, indescribable heat surged. dreaming Ograkun''s eyebrows curve backwards. That power... opponent is human. Compared to giants, they are small creatures that are not even worth comparing. It means that they are so weak that they can even pluck out the spinal cord with a single blow. Yet... what the hell this oppression. As if facing Taesan. O''Grakun''s instincts began to send the highest warning. Dangerous. If you don''t fight with all your might... . Rather, it could be this one. ''It won''t be easy.'' Ograkun grabbed the sword with both hands. Still, with this kind of strength, I''ll be able to deal with it somehow. This is because he also had the unique ability ''Berserker'' to express the will of a berserker. But, the moment you see the next scene. Ugh ! Ograkun had to realize that all assumptions about the match were meaningless. fusion. It is a unique ability that allows you to reach a higher level by collecting the skills of the copied opponent. Jinhyuk''s both hands combined the energy into one. Then at that very moment. [The unique ability ''Colossus Strike'', the skill ''Claws that cover the moon'', and the unique ability ''White Beast'' are fused!] Did I tell you to simply take a picture and press it with force? If so, let me do it. The condition that the three abilities obtained from the monsters must be fused, and that fusion is possible only when suitable ''copy conditions'' are found at the same time. As it required extreme difficulty, the result was guaranteed. [You have succeeded in obtaining the right arm of the giant ''Tombgrave''!] [The copied unique ability is stored in ''Memory of the World''.] A dazzling brilliance flickered, Paradise Lost swallowed up by a great light. huuuuuuuuuoooooooooooooooooo and after a while. When my sight came back... . Jinhyuk''s arm had changed. No, it wasn''t just the appearance that changed. CH 227 . Tombgrave''s right arm The giant god ''Tombgrave''. Among the giant gods living in the upper floors of the tower, he is revered as a great hero. ''nastily I''m sick. I feel like my nerves are being ripped to pieces.'' Jinhyuk frowned. Throb! Throb! Throb! It went through the heavy nerves and penetrated to the brain. The horse borrowed his right arm. The impact of transplanting the body of the giant as it is was beyond imagination. [Sync in progress .] [Only 10% of this ability can be reproduced under the conditions of the level and stats.] [All strength stats are increased by 500% due to the influence of the giants.] [The time limit is 3 minutes and 30 seconds.] Only 3 minutes and 30 seconds. No, it was imperfect, but the time that Tombgrave''s power can be used is 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Pants! Barrier''s signature ''Moon Imprint'' resonated with the new arm. A golden wave followed Jinhyuk''s neck to his fingertips. ''Relieves pain as a barrier and resolves heterogeneous discomfort.'' Whoa... . Jinhyuk closed his eyes and calmly adjusted his breathing. As concise and quick as possible. At the same time, it builds a body that is optimized for using abilities. only 5 seconds. like that. Jinhyuk synchronized all mana. "What the hell is that power ?" Ogra Kun''s eyes expanded like they were about to explode. " " The white tree tangrasil also seemed to be at a loss for words. How embarrassed would you have forgotten to control the various insects you were beating? To that extent, the abilities that Jinhyuk has shown now have gone beyond common sense. ''This is not an ordinary human arm... .'' Although it seemed so on the outside, the essence that constituted it was never human. Ograkun took a step forward with the great sword. Is this really what it was? I thought I only believed in the Death Knight, but that was my mistake. If there was a Hidden card, I thought it would be Death Knight. No one would have to think that way. Because the strongest knight in the undead melee series was the Death Knight. However. In fact, your guy was much stronger. It''s not the Death Knights who really should be afraid. A human who inherited an unknown power. You have to focus all your attention on the monster that makes your whole body tremble just by facing it. If you realize that fighting isn''t enough, why don''t you lower your tail? As long as you give up the fortress, the giants will live. I don''t think that''s possible. There''s a reason I can''t give up on this place either. Ograkun shook his head. He spoke firmly, as if there was no room for compromise. [Since he is a rational personality who knows the difference between interests and losses, if he understands that well, he may be able to avoid a fight unexpectedly.] If you recall what was written in the status window, it is a reaction that is bound to be quite contradictory. And the reason. Jinhyuk was vaguely predicting. "Is it because of the Mine Association ?" With words that seem to be implied. ...! There was a greater agitation than when I saw Tombgrave''s arm in O''Grakun''s face. As if completely devastated, the great sword swung thinly. In the midst of that, seeing how he quickly captures his expression and sword, I thought that it was not wrong to say that he was able to manage his emotions well. Of course, yes, it''s already spilled water. What... I don''t know what you''re talking about. You don''t have to try so hard to deny it, because I don''t want to dig anymore. You don''t have to listen to the answer. ''It was like that.'' I was convinced by the current reaction alone. That the Mine Association is ready to summon the Demon King. ''It must not be a coincidence that the leader of the Mine Association, which I introduced as Gawain, came to the Empire.'' Sooner or later there will be a huge big event somewhere in the tower. The Demon King''s demonic ritual, one of the most venomous among the Absolutes of the Tower... . And. The giants must have promised to join the ceremony as well. Now it felt like all the puzzles were put together one by one. The conversation doesn''t seem to work anymore, so let''s start soon. We only have about two and a half minutes left. Ability has a time limit...? "Then, are there any restrictions on obtaining this level of power?" ...that''s also true. But, why are you telling me that? There is no reason. just. "I am confident enough to win even with that time." Tuk! It was behind Ogra Kun that Jinhyuk appeared. Tombgrave''s right arm stretched out toward his spine. The great sword received the attack with a short drive. Aww! An unbelievable shocking sound resounded that fists and metal had collided. The reaction is pretty quick. I thought I was aiming for the blind spot. Ugh! What an ignorant...! Ogra-kun''s body, which was well over twice that of Jinhyuk''s, stumbled. Of course, it was only for a while. Ograkun, who immediately regained his balance, swung his huge sword. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The ground was torn apart with one blow, and a shock wave reached the outer wall of the fortress. It was a blow with absurd power that completely ignored the laws of physics. But. Sa, there are no wounds? Jinhyuk received the attack from the front with only his right arm. If it''s only this... I wouldn''t even need to use my arms. It is a bonus to taunt and provoke. It hasn''t even started yet. It''s okay. Of course it should. When this is over, your heated body would have cooled off too easily, didn''t you? Jinhyuk smiled and pulled out an ax that was stuck in the ground. It was one of the weapons that T-Bone and the giant dropped a while ago while fighting. [The weapon is strengthened by Tombgrave''s arm.] I swear . like blood vessels. A golden line from his arm spread through the hilt of the axe. Bare hands are good, but in an all-out war, you need a suitable weapon. where. Let''s see how well this fits in my hand. Jinhyuk took a stance. From the soles of the feet through the legs to the waist. And from the waist to the arms. mana rotated through the veins. That''s dangerous. Ograkun instinctively stretched out his sword and took a defensive stance. kukukuku! The soil on the ground defied gravity and soared into the air. At the same time, the floor began to crack like a tortoise shell. If it''s a true giant''s blow. If power has to discuss the end... . At least this should be enough. A shock wave that could not be compared with the great sword Ogra-kun was wielding occurred. with a single ray of light. A huge storm changed all the scenery in front of me. The wall of the fortress, which was like an iron wall, collapsed. It means that a difficult road that can only be overcome by making a lot of sacrifices has been cleared at once. Genius Ilwoo''s Opportunity! I don''t know why that thick rock wall collapsed. The important thing now is not to find out why. somehow. You have to go in there even one step faster. Immediately, move the entire unit inside! Yes. Titans! We must send out the Knights of Titans first. Sir Mjenton! Lead the knights directly, Sir, and occupy the castle. Those who are confident in light engineering, step forward. You must first obtain a stronghold in order to win this war against those abominable imperial bastards! The commanders of the Empire and Moorim shouted madly. Soon, the Empire''s light cavalry with the titan as the main axis entered the castle. The top experts of the volcanic wave led by Baek Sullin immediately followed. Okay! We''re faster. The Titan light cavalry led by Morton entered the castle and raced to Paradise Lost. A small number of giants resisted, but they could not stop the Knights of Titans, which were all made up of sword masters. Aww! Kuruk... The giants with wind holes in their bodies fell to the left and right. One point breakthrough that made use of speed and weight. It is not a heavy cavalry, it is a destructive power that is hard to believe for a light cavalry. The characteristics of the mage weapon called the Titan also played a significant role. In less than 30 seconds, all the giants guarding the way to Paradise Lost fell. ''If only Paradise Lost is secured, no matter how rampant the Moorims are, we can take the initiative.'' Molton spurred on the Titan even more. Doo doo doo! The light cavalry in the rear did not forget to check the volcanic wave led by Baek Sullin. By the way. A strange thing happened among the light cavalry who were galloping in the lead. I wondered if a strong gust of wind was pressing on my skin. Aww! Aww! A gust of wind soon turned into a typhoon. The Titan Knights, who were sprinting relentlessly at the forefront, were torn like a piece of paper. Puppupuck! Kwajik! A fountain of blood dyed his vision red. He was caught up in the great sword wielded by Ogra Kun. Is that fucking giant...! Get out of the way! I''ll deal with it myself. Molten swung the sword that raised the Aura blade and stepped forward. No, I was trying to wield it. It was obvious until the neck fell from the separation of the great swords that followed. Myo, Sir Morten! I can''t stand a single sum of wonders. "It''s a monster a monster." The knights who saw Molten''s head rolled down and retreated back. The captain died without even seeing a proper fight, who dares to move forward with confidence? The fact that I had to retreat with my goal in front of my nose was insanely unfair, but I can''t help it. You must back off right now. right then Come on, wait... wait a minute. One of the knights tilted his head. Something is strange. A deep sense of incongruity, which did not match the current situation, was sticky. Damn it. If you don''t go to sleep and run away right away, you''ll end up with a piece of meat between the volcanic scumbags and that monster. Wait a minute. Take a closer look at that giant. More details... Huh? The pupils of the blonde knight, who had been shouting in frustration, narrowed. Come to think of it. There was something strange about the giant''s condition. A face full of fear. wounded body. I just swept the previous articles. I couldn''t find anything that should have been majestic. I... he''s running away. A prey that frantically runs away from a larger predator. Yes. The sword he showed me now was close to a desperate struggle for survival. Doubts continued. if so . Who the hell gave that monster so overwhelming fear? jerk. It was then that I heard footsteps. It''s no use wasting time like this. Jinhyuk with a giant ax walked out among the golden roses. Heh heh... heh heh heh heh. Ograkun let out a rough breath. The time limit that the opponent said with his own mouth. 3 minutes and 30 seconds. I ran away from Paradise Lost to get the most of my time, but it also ended up in a dead end. Besides, for some reason, only three minutes felt like eternity. Ugh . one breath. And I only blinked once. However, Jinhyuk had reached just below Ograkun. The ax rushed towards his waist. should be avoided I know that in my head... . The exhausted body could only barely raise the sword at an angle. Aww! Gagging! Ogra-kun''s body was broken with a gizmo. The body, which had been bounced off several times, rolled on the ground terribly. If you do this, you will die. the moment you think so. Ograkun''s pupils were dyed red like blood. [The unique ability ''Berserker'' is blooming!] Koooooooh! The beast completely lost its sanity roared wildly. CH 228 . The deceased, become the lord. Unique Ability The Berserker is a double-edged sword. Raises the target''s physical abilities to the limit, but at the same time. This is because the object used had the trait of losing reason and running wild indiscriminately. Even if the target is an ally, it is mercilessly regarded as an enemy and cut down. If it was possible to unlock the unique ability only now, he probably didn''t want to use this ability. Koooooooh! A red energy rose along Ogra-kun''s body. Now the climax of this fight has come. thud! jerk. They reached the distance between each other. A street that could take your life with a single gesture. Right from there... . The appearance of the sword and the ax disappeared. Aww! With a roar, the sword stopped right above Jinhyuk''s head. If I had been late, my head would have been crushed like a watermelon. However, the next attack followed immediately, without even taking a breather. kwaaang! When the great sword aims at the vital point. The ax cancels its trajectory. kwaang! bang! bang! It is a battle of pure power and power, without any skill or dexterity. Countless fireworks were scattered in the air. It''s a breathtaking battle. In addition to speed, it had the power to destroy a large monster with one blow. Oh my gosh... That giant. Wasn''t the power you showed me earlier? Are you seeing a giant now? That man. That man is truly a monster. It''s yeah. It''s like seeing Sir Abraham. "Is this reality is it true? What kind of movement ." The knights who were watching were mesmerized and watched the battle between Jin-hyuk and Oh Gra-kun. I had no choice but to do so. A siege battle unfolds while ignoring the defense while maintaining a breathing distance. The sound of the metal roaring out makes the eardrums suffocate. But even more surprising... . Rather than the giant who couldn''t even dare to dumb up. It is the fact that a single human, less than half, possesses a far more formidable superpower. ''Now 10 seconds.'' Jinhyuk counted inwardly. That''s exactly how much time left to keep Tombgrave''s right arm. He took his strength away from the hand holding the ax. Ograkun reflexively moved his sword. Aww! Unlike the last time they bumped into each other roughly, the ax, pushed by force, spun round and round in the air. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo As if convinced of victory, Ogra Kun let out another wild roar. As long as he lost his weapon, he must have judged that this fight was over. However, that gap was deliberately exposed by Jinhyuk. '' caught.'' Jin-hyeok, who threw away the axe, quickly dug into Ogra-kun''s arms. The great sword was in the way, but it didn''t matter. Jinhyuk raised his mana a lot and placed his palm on top of the sword. ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong (ħʹ)'' In front of this, defense is useless. Breaking the defense is the reason this Basic Form exists. ''Equation 3'' The air as if everything was gone because it was not quiet. The mana, as deep and heavy as the deep sea, shook. ''Blood permeabilization'' (Ѫؽ͸) Through the arms of Tombgrave. Mugong, the poisonous text of the dark-huang, has been reproduced. Tuquaang! The inside, not the outside, was completely twisted. A shock wave spread in 13 layers broke through the clouds and soared above the atmosphere. Only the faint reverberation of mana seemed to tell what the strike had just been like. swaying Ograkun''s body collapsed on the spot. No matter how powerful the Berserker was, even a zealot ignorant of pain would not be able to move any more if the inside of his body turned into a mop. Big... uh... cool! Crab foam flowed from Ogra-kun''s mouth. Soon after, red blood gushed out. Jinhyuk stepped back slowly. It''s amazing that you''ve survived this far. Even if you use only 10% of Tombgrave''s power, you''ll be commended for facing a giant with a giant body for even a minute. These words are sincere. It won''t be any consolation though. [The unique ability ''Berserker'' will be disbanded.] [The reason comes back little by little.] The red light slowly faded from Ogra Kun''s pupils. Clear eyes looked straight at Jinhyuk. The brothers of the castle... the clan... Don''t touch a single one. " thank you." at the end of that word. The light completely disappeared from Ograkun''s eyes. And at that very moment. [You have defeated the king of giants ''Ograkun''!] [You have secured a base that the Empire and Moorim have not been able to obtain for a long time.] [The amazing achievement you have achieved now will be inscribed in the ''Hall of Fame'' tomorrow.] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] . [Level has risen!] [You have fulfilled the copy conditions.] [You succeeded in copying the unique ability ''Berserker''.] [The copied ability is stored in ''Memory of the World''.] Countless status windows started appearing. ''There''s no way I''m going to accept it by telling me to surrender.'' If it''s Ogra Kun''s inclination, he''s dead when he''s dead, and he''ll never go under a human. Above all else, he couldn''t keep alive the fact that he was connected with the Mine Association. Simply promising not to slaughter my people would be the least amount of mercy I can give now. Jinhyuk''s gaze turned to the status window. A whopping 6 levels. Raising this level in one raid is a huge achievement. This is because the amount of experience required every time one had to raise the current level of 80 was close to the worst. ''Are you already 86? .'' Even when I climbed the Tower of Trials in the past, I thought I had taken an optimized route. Compared to the current growth rate, it is just cute. But that was then. This!? An earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk''s pupil. In the status window with dozens of lines, an unexpected phrase was found. [You have acquired the ''Berserker''s Greatsword''.] [Berserker''s Greatsword] Acquisition Difficulty: S Attack power: 10,250 Weight: 150kg Description: This is Ogra Kun''s favorite weapon, and when used with the unique ability ''Berserker'', attack power and attack speed increase by 10% each. However, due to the weight of the very heavy sword, it is a difficult axis to use except for some large species. Only those to whom O''Grakun thanked can hold this sword in their hands. Berserker''s Greatsword. The best of the rewards you can get when you hunt Ogra-kun came out. Come to think of it, I could see that the great sword that I thought would have been destroyed with Ograkun''s death was still there. ''I knew this sword would follow its master with an almost 100% chance... .'' Jinhyuk immediately realized the reason for this Kiyeon. ''Yes, reading. After climbing to the top of the Tower of Trials, there was a perk.'' A deceptive content where you can get the best items you can get from monsters. After all, a privilege is a privilege. My body is itching already. The desire to use the newly acquired unique ability and the Berserker''s Greatsword was like a chimney... . Right now, there are things that need to be done before that. That is, to tell the ghouls of the Empire and the Murim who the owner of this castle is. From now on, this castle will be managed by me. So I want you to withdraw your troops immediately. Jinhyuk lightly swung his sword and drew a line on the floor. This is a warning. I''m going to kill him first if he comes over without knowing it. Well, that''s... Great! The knights hesitated and looked at each other''s eyes. Because of the order I received, it was difficult to roll my tail like this. However, I didn''t want to have the option of attacking that monster even more. On the other hand. Whoops! Sullin Baek, who had arrived here a while ago and was monitoring the situation, bit her molars. Sullin Baek also had the power that Jinhyuk showed in her eyes. The fact that even if you and the volcanic experts you brought with you fight together, you can''t guarantee a win... . She knew herself better than anyone. ''I''m sure you''ll be strong enough.'' It''s difficult for some late index. At least . Only when all the top-notch masters of each clan have arrived, you will only be able to foretell the number. I''m sorry, but I have no choice but to back away from here. When neither side said anything, Jinhyuk shrugged. Then, I understand that you accepted it. Both formations will do a lot of damage today, so let''s end the battle at this point. I will also take care of this place. Don''t think this is the end. Sullin Baek exhaled coldly. Then he turned towards the way he had come with his volcanic colleagues. "I see . Player Kang Jin-hyuk. And could you please explain to Count Hoveir about this matter in the near future?" "If it''s Count Hoveir you mean the one sent by the Empire as commander-in-chief?" Yes. That''s right. Okay. I need to explain this to the Empire side as well, so I''ll do that. It seems that the fortress has been taken away out of nowhere, and Hoveir, as well as the Duke of Weinsteln, will be greatly embarrassed. But what to do? This is what I have already devoured. ''If you pay an appropriate price, you can use it.'' very If you pay the right price. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. It seemed as if he could already see a golden flower road in front of his eyes. Exactly one day has passed since the fierce siege ended. In the meantime, Jin-hyeok made extensive repairs to the fortress through the captured giants. They rebuilt the ruined walls. Food and supplies have been secured again through the coin exchange. sure. The most important thing was to change the flag of the castle. flutter... ! Instead of the symbols of giants, the flag hanging at the top of the castle had a dinosaur fossil, a symbol of the deceased corporation. [The small force ''Goin Corporation'' has secured the first large base.] Ummm... Jinhyuk nodded his head as if satisfied. Thanks to the busy movement of T-Bone and the ancient soldiers, the maintenance of the main island where the castle lord stayed was roughly completed . Now all that was left was to relax and enjoy the long-awaited rest. That was then. There''s also a bit of maintenance here, so it''s worth looking at. By the way, where''s my room? Of course, I prepared the best place for you. Elise, who was next to her, opened her mouth with a sigh of exclamation. I was feeling really good. Because of this guy, my happy heart in an instant became a bubble and disappeared. Anyway, he seems like a guy who doesn''t even have 1mg to notice. Your room? Yeah. My private room. These days, I have no energy because I''ve been running around without a mana supply. I''ll have to take a break and recover. I have no power... . Really, is that so? Of course I prepared it. Actually, the first thing I thought of when I came here was your room. ...! At Jinhyuk''s words, Elise put on a serious expression while clearing her excited face. Others seem to think that it is a noble expression. Oh, I''m pretty quick to see for a human. My luggage is okay. In a room of 100 pyeong, a bed made of fur and the finest wine. All you need is a campfire made of acarim wood. Otherwise... It''d be nice to show you some. There''s nothing like that to recover mana. Elise smiled bewitchingly. A little boy, who is less than 1m in size, makes such an expression well. Jinhyuk, who clenched his tongue as if for a moment, waved his hand. Yeah. Yeah, I''ve got everything I want, so just go. We''ve hired the best room for you. It''s called a dungeon. A moist and dry one would be perfect for a luxurious taste. Especially since it was the room next to the tangrasil tree root, if you are thirsty, drink some sap. "T-Bon, what are you doing? Come on, Elise No, without guiding the noble nobility of the night to a special room." Yes, Master. T-Bone took Elise''s hand and walked down to the bottom of the castle at a staggering pace. Hey, but isn''t the room usually upstairs? These days, a semi-basement is the trend for good rooms. Lady Master. Really? But why are you feeling so strong? It''s my mood. It''s my mood. It''s okay. Do you want the Master to lie to the Lady Master? After the battle with Ogra Kun, T-Bone, who was completely absorbed in Jinhyuk, performed his role perfectly. CH 229 . Holidays at the Citadel (1) Private gymnasium in the citadel. Jinhyuk slowly picked up his breath in the middle of it. Uh-huh... I can feel mana spreading all over my body. As he lightly swung the newly acquired ''Berserker''s Greatsword'', a blue trail was drawn along the air. Boo Woong! A sword with the right balance of speed and weight. The sword dance, which seemed like a wild beast, continued for several tens of minutes. And some Grand Masters were watching the scene from a little distance away. ...It''s not fun. It seems like I''m having a lot of time off, so I wanted to play, but I''m practicing again. Alice inflated her cheeks as if she had a heartache. But. Jinhyuk is really amazing, look at that. That big sword is so light... Wow. I just missed the sword three times. Andria burst into exclamation again and again. The psychiatric ward that needs to be protected is left to the subordinates, so he babbles with a bright face... . If the manager had seen it, he might have sighed deeply. " " Finally, Wolyeong stood in the shadows and kept her mouth shut. All kinds of feelings for Jinhyuk were buried in his face with complicated feelings. As such, the sword dance that Jinhyuk is showing now is flawless. The sound of the sword that cuts through the wind was enough to calm the mind. Well... it''s not bad for a human being. It''s still a long way off compared to this noble body. Still, except for me, no one can beat that guy. Reluctantly, Elise nodded at the bursting exclamation. right then Standing tall. The bayonet stopped. Jinhyuk wiped away the sweat and smiled contentedly. ''I think I know roughly.'' I had to use various weapons depending on the situation, so I had to freely handle the great sword I got this time. There were a lot of tick-like onlookers, so I couldn''t even use ''Berserker''... . Just learning a new weapon was a great achievement. ''Then I''ll have to raise the stats I''ve accumulated.'' One of the most anticipated parts of the raid is stat distribution. This is because growth through leveling up was a sign of victory over difficult enemies, and at the same time, a driving force for achieving a sense of accomplishment. Jinhyuk activated his personal status window after a long time. T-tiring! Name: Kang Jin-hyuk Gender: Male Age: 27 Level: 86 Strength 71 Dexterity 30 Stamina 40 mana 188 Gap 100 Luck 10 Adaptive 78 Elemental 32.53 Stat Points you have: 18 Coins held: 56,150 Occupation: Rune Interpreter Unique abilities: ''Fusion'', ''Sword Grave'', ''Star Blessing'', ''Anubis'' Judgment'', ''Blood Magic'', ''Mandala'', ''1 second Invincible'', ''Thousand Poison'', ''White Beast'', ''All Things (f鹲)'', ''Sanctuary of the Sun'', ''Black Heaven''s Demon Hwanggong'', ''Colossal Strike'', ''Breath of the Fire Dragon'', ''High Speed Sword'', ''Tomb Grave''s Right Arm'', ''Berserker'' skill: The number of learned skills is too many to ''set aside'' state has been switched to. barrier: The number of barriers learned is too many to ''fold'' state has been switched to. Level 6 has risen to secure a total of 18 stats. In addition, the four unique abilities obtained by coming to the Empire stood out. ''If you want to easily handle the Berserker''s sword and Berserker abilities... Now I have to invest a little in my strength.'' The importance of strength stats increased even more when considering that they would create higher-level abilities through fusion. Jinhyuk invested all of the stats he obtained without hesitation in his strength. [Strength increases from 71 to 89.] exactly. I can feel the weight of the great sword noticeably lighter. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart was beating pleasantly. I was not in the watermelon to be excited because I was growing so ideally and achieving the goals I wanted. '' By obtaining the fortress, I was able to exert full-scale influence in the fight for supremacy in the middle class.'' How it will move has already been planned. All that remains is to calmly wait for the perfect timing to arrive. great. Then where... . Jinhyeok summoned the unique abilities and skills stored in the ''memory of the world''. The golden parchment unfolded, revealing the fruits of the efforts they had gathered. And among them, Jinhyuk chose 3 skills. [The unique ability ''High-Speed Sword'', the skill ''Foot Sword'', and the unique ability ''Sanctuary of the Sun'' are fused!] A dazzling light flickered. right then '' now! Jinhyuk spread the barrier over a single golden mist. [[5-star ''space constraint''] barrier is activated!] The white ancient runes reacted with the mist, forming a splendid magic circle. 1 second... 2 seconds. Time was short, but that moment seemed like eternity. And at that very moment. Pants! A blue spark rose brilliantly. Success! I was a little nervous because it was such a tricky combination, but fortunately my body seemed to remember it. [The unique ability ''Wind Realm'' has been fused!] [The fused ability is stored in ''Memory of the World''.] [Wind Realm] Acquisition Difficulty: Unmeasurable Description: The size of the area can be specified according to the caster''s proficiency and mana, and all speed increases by 100% in the space within the area of speed.] [The time limit is up to 5 minutes.] Twice as much! Even now, it is a speed that is hard to follow with the eyes, but it is possible to attack and move much faster than this. ''I want to try this right now... ,'' My body aches and I can''t stand still. Oh! Come to think of it, if I use that method, I can test my skill and eat a part of it even for the onlookers. Jinhyuk glanced to the side. Isn''t it boring to just watch from afar? If you know, why don''t we play together? The Empire and Moorim are just looking at each other, so it''s really boring. It''s not fun to just play, so let''s make a simple bet. You know tagging? You win by touching your opponent''s body. The time limit is 3 minutes. If you catch me within that, you win. The tip of the great sword followed Elise, Andria, and Wolyeong. "I guess that doesn''t mean I can run away during that time, right?" Elise''s eyebrows curled backwards. Seriously, it was a statement that could hurt the pride of Ataraxia''s head of state. Besides, Andria was also on the lower floor, but it was a boss monster in charge of one floor. Yes? Not only Elise unnie. With all of us? With his eyes wide open, he was not sure if what he had heard was true. ...Master. No matter how great you are, I think it''s unreasonable to deal with all three at the same time... Until Wolyeong, he helped out with a single word. anyway. Everyone just talks a lot. If you win, I''ll grant you one wish. On the other hand, if I win, don''t make a sound and just do what I tell you... How about it? Are you serious? I don''t know these two, but do I have one? "You are the sweetest." " " For a moment, I had the illusion of seeing a yacht in Alice''s face. No, I don''t think it''s just an illusion. Obviously, you said you would grant my wish? If I win, I will drink all the blood in my body until dawn tomorrow. I''m washing my throat well. If you get caught, you can stick a straw around your neck or a bamboo. Of course, that doesn''t seem like it will happen forever... Jinhyuk smiled brightly. If you provoke properly like this, you will surely bite the bait. In the end, I had to ask each of the three of them an important request. If this is the case, you will be able to eat it legally without offending your conscience. I''m dead...! Elise''s new model disappeared. At the same time. It''s a wish...it''s all right. I also want something from Jinhyuk-nim. "You will regret it." Andrea and Wolyeong also accepted the bet. I knew that Jinhyuk was amazing. Because I''ve seen myself go through impossible things over and over again. But not this time. There was no way, no matter how raw meat and creeping monsters, could win a bet against the three. At least as long as there is a restriction that it should never be caught. But the moment he reached the place where Jinhyuk was. Something strange felt a deep sense of incongruity. ''what what is this?'' ''What speed... .'' ''Unbelievable. Are you saying that even with silent music, you can''t even catch a shadow?'' It''s not that fast. As if dealing with even a ghost. I''ve already missed Jinhyuk''s appearance several times over. At first, I thought it was just a free bet, but as time went on, dark shadows began to appear on the three of them. What kind of catastrophe would you suffer if you lost to the vicious boss? . Because he knew himself better than anyone else. But no matter how hard they tried, the result was the same. Tuk! profit! Unfortunately, Andria''s fingertips could not reach Jinhyuk''s collar. It''s a pity. Still, I''ve gotten better than before. Now, I think it''s possible to subdue any raid by yourself? Hey, don''t take the medicine! Andria, who turned 180 degrees, lowered her center of gravity. Boo-woong! The wind rose and the little body moved like a flying squirrel. Now only 1 minute is left. This is not the time to cover up the means and methods. "You have to attack them all at once." Andria hurriedly shouted. It''s a fucking hornet. Just kill it! Kill it! You have to get rid of it and nullify the bet! Instinctively frightened, Elise spewed out red drops of blood. This is more than half sincere. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Drops of blood poured down on Jinhyuk at once. Hey. That skill. You got the emotions right? Huh? Are you really going to kill me? This is a game! If you''re going to find a weakness, it''s better to kill it cleanly! You babting! Elise quickly casts a second attack. [[Ellis is Lv??] I use ''Blood Fog''!] This time, a mist of blood obscured his vision in an instant. I don''t mean to aim directly. Rather, an arrangement to support others. ''Wolyeong or Andria are going to stab you.'' [Wolyoung activates his unique ability ''Shadow Kill''!] I knew it. Wolyeong''s presence was felt in the shadows. It is a space movement technique that can only be defeated even if you have prepared in advance. However, even a single move of that speed could not go beyond the ''Wind Realm''. Jinhyuk disappeared from Wolyoung''s sight. Ugh? If the target suddenly evaporates, it is natural for the body to lean forward. Wolyoung collided head-on with Andria, who was facing him head-on. bang! Ugh. Aww... Wolyoung and Andria sat down in their seats. It was because I realized that it was useless to try any more. Finally, Elise, who was left alone, was sweating profusely and followed Jinhyuk. Three minutes passed, but it didn''t seem that important. You don''t give up? Has the time already passed? No... hey. Honestly, it''s a foul. I haven''t been able to use my strength properly yet? Really, try loosening the seal completely. You have to fight fairly, what''s disrespectful? no. Huh? Why am I deliberately at a disadvantage? I''m still having a lot of fun. Jinhyuk moved behind Elise and hit him with a honey chestnut. damn it! Hey! If you get caught, really... Ah! damn it! A bright sound pounded his head. Evil! Hey. Bone... It''s a bone. I know. damn it! right! Tadaak! The light hitting sound became even more intense. Now, the sound is as grand as that of an opera. at last. Stop! I lost. I lost! Elise, who sat with her arms completely covering her head, admitted defeat. ''If you can''t even catch Elise, you''ve done enough performance verification.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. There are things that I liked about ''the realm of the wind'' for making this smile. When we talked about penalties, we were also curious about everyone''s reaction. CH 230 . Holidays at the Citadel (2) [A new video has been uploaded to the ''Hall of Fame''.] The video everyone had been waiting for was finally uploaded. - Pigeon Chicken: Hey, it''s out. It really came out! Gang Jin-hyuk Giant''s fortress attack video! People clinged to someone''s words like a swarm of bees. The situation in which the war between the Empire and Moorim is in full swing by the upper guilds and players. Of course, the reaction was bound to be stormy. -On blind date 10,000 times: Does it make sense to win against giants by force alone? - Red pepper folder: ??. However, it would have been more advantageous if it was attacked from a distance, as if it was deliberately suited only for close combat. Why is that? -jkccil5005: Isn''t it possible to buy three to 500? - Sae Young Eon Hwan: There must be some reason. The important thing is that no matter what field you fight, it won''t work for Jinhyuk. -Lee Saengmang: ?j. I''ve been looking all over for information on the Empire and Moorim recently, and the Sword Masters they boast about and the top experts of each clan didn''t matter. -faclift: Not a big deal. They are also very strong You can even break a ttukbaegi with rice paste in your mouth. It''s just that Kang Jin-hyuk is a player out of the norm, and it''s absurd. -Daraam Cushion: Thanks to defeating Ogra-kun and the giants, I also earned 90 days of time. If you really want to hate him, he is a player with a lot of charm that you can''t hate. big -The fire truck doesn''t stop: I can do it for you. ANG. Comments started running with their tails on their tails. Now, every time a single video is updated, the server runs into an annual event. The unexpected rise in views is likely to easily exceed 10 million views today. ''This is also a good response.'' Jinhyuk nodded his head as if satisfied. Lately I''ve been frantically only spending time inside the tower, but I''ll have to go outside the tower soon. Because I had to go to the Awakened Association and listen to how Kim Hee-woong, Lee Tae-min, Yoo Yeon-hwa, and the rest of Korea and other countries were going. But that was then. "Hey do I really have to wear this like this?" Alice approached me with the most shameful expression in the world. Hey. Everyone gets along well. It was good that the punishment was based on the Halloween concept. A suit that is a suitable combination of black and white. The combination of a lace skirt, hat and parasol was like looking at a Western-style doll. Thanks to his sharp fangs and red eyes, he is a vampire himself without having to wear additional makeup. Jinhyuk-nim. I think this dress is too empty. Master. It''s unavoidable because we''ve been defeated...but this is unacceptable for our pride as a swordsman. Andria in a short black miniskirt and Wolyeong in a tailcoat complained with dissatisfaction. It''s nice to see this as it is, as if it''s uncomfortable and constantly rubbing your body. ''Well, modern clothes must be unfamiliar to the two of them.'' Following the concept of a nine-tailed fox, Andria had nine tails behind her skirt. After seeing the mummy concept, Wolyoung was wearing a few white bandages over her tailcoat. But is it because they both have great originals? Even if you put it out in Itaewon right now, it will catch everyone''s attention at once. Oh, and take one of these. Jinhyuk took out a jewel resembling a green four-leaf clover from the subspace inventory. what''s this? Alice rolled her eyes. It''s called the petals of Pencia... It''s not expensive, it''s a gift from hard work. You can think of it as a kind of employee ID that is only given to the employees of our company. Really? You''re giving this away for free? Yeah. Take one of each. Jinhyuk handed out Pencia''s petals one by one. "Go thank you. Jinhyuk-nim. I will cherish it." Thank you, sir. Everyone was startled by the unexpected gift, and their eyes widened. If you have received everything, prepare to welcome guests. In a little while, distinguished guests from the Empire and Moorim will come. ''The Lord''s Supper''. This is a special event that can be triggered by the player who has gained a base. In order for small and medium-sized forces to expand their power, they had to publicize their existence through these events. Just in time, I was able to invite the great powers of the Empire and the Moorim. It is truly a one-of-a-kind situation. Above all else, he will participate in this event. What a fucking traitor. I''m already looking forward to how the bullying will spread the word. Jinhyuk let out a smile that was a mixture of anger and playfulness. Fufu... Then the smile soon turned into a madness. Dare you you dare betray me, right? Okay. Very good. You''re a cosplayer wearing only diapers. Soon, the interior began to fill with mad mana. - He''s dead. that black guy. In any case, it seems like you hate someone like that. Still, he was a good-looking guy. -If it were me, I would rather have bitten my tongue and committed suicide... . - Well, I don''t think you''re talking about including me. I''m just getting stabbed. each with different thoughts. The Halloween party, at which the fate of the forces was at stake, was just hours away. By the way. ...!? startled Something caught Jinhyuk''s senses. It was too far and dim to be sure, but an ominous, strange aura brushed past my skin. Elise. Did you just not feel something? Huh? Actually, I got a little bit of the feeling that you were the Great Evil... No, no. I didn''t feel anything. I was really bruising for a while. Alice hurriedly shook her head. ''Is it an illusion?'' Seeing that Elise didn''t react, it might be that she reacted too sensitively. ''Sedes'', one of the kingdoms belonging to the Empire. This is a holy country where the goddess Ferris is enshrined, and it was a holy land that was no less the home of the paladins. And in the catacombs where the kingdom''s paladins are sleeping... . Something that should never have happened was happening. again... . again... . The sound of water drops falling from the ceiling reverberated throughout the huge tomb. ...Is the deployment all over? The man slowly opened his mouth. A ranker who is an executive of the Mine Association and at the same time is in charge of one axis of the Round Table. It was Gawain. Then the old man who was beside Gawain rubbed his palms. Kill Kil Kil! Yes. It''s a pity that the relics aren''t all gathered, but this should be enough to summon a pretty powerful Demon Clan. A required material for manifesting the Demon King, ''Cursed Relic''. For that purpose, players belonging to the Mine Association and the residents of the tower frantically wandered through the tower after the arrival of the tower of trials. To fulfill your wish and survive the curse of the tower. To conform to the laws of this world that have completely changed. Until now, they have pursued their ends regardless of means and methods. The result is this. 4 holy things and 3 quasi-holy things. If this is the case, it will be a sufficient intermediate bridge in implementing their main plan. Okay. Then, let''s get started. Kil-Kill! I see. The old man injected mana towards the relics placed in the center. Then at that very moment. Violet smoke flowed from the old man''s body. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo [The relic reacts to the target''s mana!] [Seven Cursed Relics activate the gate leading to the demon world!] [The level of the Demon Clan that can be summoned is limited because the quality of the relics is lowered!] A red status window appeared one after another. Oh oh! at Las ! A legion of great men is coming. A groan erupted from the mouths of those who were watching. I''ve finally achieved what I''ve been longing for, so of course I have to. kukukuku! It was then that the ground began to crack. Chii! A tremendous amount of heat erupted from the cracked ground. At the same time, the red lava lit up the dark inside of the tomb. come. from below... . Something that cannot be described in words. kwaduduk! kwaduk! All the skeletons in the coffin began to be sucked down. It''s like absorbing them all. and after a while. Kurre... What appeared along with the lava was a huge flame skull that was over 10m tall. Although the size was huge, the mana flowing from his body was completely different from the monsters he had encountered so far. This is the bloodline of ''Guntafer'', one of the higher Demon Clans. A formidable existence that can only be encountered in the upper floors of the tower has manifested here, so it has created a huge ripple effect on its own. By the way. Suddenly the flame skull reached out. A white bone covered in lava and terrifying snatches a man who was holding his head. Chi profit! Aww! In a matter of seconds, the player disappeared as a handful of ashes. What, what? Why are you attacking us all of a sudden! Aww! Do... run away! Awe and resentment turned into despair and screams at the end of this point. have to run away even one o''clock. The only way to survive is to get out of here even one step faster. However, due to the narrow passageway, only a small percentage of people were able to escape. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A volcanic bomb swept away the players at once. Kreorre! The flame skull didn''t seem to care that the players summoned him. However, in the midst of that, only Gawain and the old man did not touch it. It is natural. Sacrifice the idiots of the Mine Association who came here... . Because it was just two people. ''Now it''s almost over. All those who have hindered us will all be turned to ashes as of today.'' The corners of Gawain''s lips rose upward. Whoops! puff puff! The colorful fireworks embroidered the sky of the fortress. The castle gates were wide open with a massive fireworks display to celebrate the new owner. After receiving the invitation, high-ranking officials from the Empire and Murim entered the castle one by one. Ugh. How can I suffer like this from a player who lives outside the tower... Count Hovier, the commander-in-chief of the fort attack, bit his molars. No matter how important it was to secure the free passage of this base, it could not be a reason for a noble noble to come to the party of the low-key. However, no matter how much you complain, it will be meaningless now. ''Damn it. If it wasn''t for orders.'' Hovier entered the castle with a poop face. Meanwhile. The people from the Moorim side who received the invitation also reached the west gate of the castle. A number of people, including Seollin Baek and Namgungcheon, moved with their senses extremely elevated. Among them was Cheon Yuseong. '' .'' Cheon Yuseong looked around the castle with an anxious face. [[In Moorim, you must come with Cheonyuseong even if you do not know about the others. If you do not bring it, you will not be allowed to enter the castle.] - Sungjoo Kang Jinhyuk Baek] What was written on the invitation. no doubt The most heinous devil in the tower was now aiming at the nape of his neck. But that was then. Someone very familiar with Cheon Yu-seong''s eyes was caught. I don''t want to face you the most. Then, there was a person who inevitably had to face. He also had a French maid suit in his hand, which looked quite generous in size. Ugh . eyes met. A cold sweat ran down Cheon Yu-seong''s spine. I don''t know why, but a feeling of extreme anxiety beyond my imagination penetrated deep into my bones. CH 231 . Holidays at the Citadel (3) the fort''s boudoir. Tables lined with various kinds of food were lined up. Stop making joint noises and move quickly. Dalgrak. Master told me to hurry. Dalgrak! Everything, dalgrak... T-bones and ancient soldiers wore bow ties and often walked to listen to the guests. Is the food good in your mouth? Jinhyuk smiled at the high-ranking officials sitting on both sides. " ????!" trembling Namgungcheon tried to reach out with the sword on his waist. Being in the same room with Jinhyuk itself would mean unpleasant. Then, Sullin Baek intervened quickly. It''s more palatable than I thought. Thank you for the hospitality. Well, I''d appreciate it if you could think of it that way, but the person over there who ate up their guild seems to think differently from Sojour Baek Seollin. Haha. What, what!? It''s not your fault that the Chinese Guild has become so small...! Okay. I''m not here to fight. Ah, that''s right. I didn''t even want to fight this much, but I wonder why he''s so hot-tempered. The goblins in the tutorial field would be more patient. Ugh, ah ah ah ah! Namgungcheon bit the foam in his mouth. However, the worst did not happen thanks to Sullin Baek and the rest of the Moorim. That''s enough provocation. Why did you invite us here? You really didn''t call for dinner, did you? Are you thinking of digging in the main topic even before the main dish comes out yet? Anyway, they are friends with no dining etiquette. It''s a bit early, but I''ll tell you that everyone doesn''t seem to be interested in meals anyway. As you know, both factions want free access to the castle. The strategic location is so important. This is what everyone knows so far. So, you must have accepted the invitation close to notification. I''m going to give both sides a chance. The one with the higher toll. I''ll let that one get the right of way through this citadel. "A price competition? Did I say price competition now?" Hovier jumped up from his seat. It was so ridiculous that his thick jaw trembled. What''s wrong? Of course! Weren''t you on the side of the Empire during the power selection war? Of course, you''ll have to surrender your last name to us. The price. What kind of bullshit is that? Hovier spit on his neck and spit. Then at that very moment. The smile disappeared from Jinhyuk''s face, which was constantly smiling. First, if you spit in front of food one more time, I''ll make sure you never tease that spout again. Juu... snout. No, what are you doing now? This is my castle... tsutsutsu! A cold life rose. "You must be polite to him," he said. Huh! Hovier, who had never touched a sword except for courtesy. Of course, there was no experience exposed to such a vicious energy. Rumble! Hovier''s body trembled like an aspen. The exciting appearance had long since disappeared. Instead, only a terrified white pig remains. Heh heh. Player Jinhyuk Kang. It seems that our count has made a mistake. If you calm down and tell us what you want, we will humbly accept it. One old knight quickly rectified the situation. Albert Mecker. He is the commander of the Knights of the Iron Cross, and at the same time he is in charge of assisting the commander in chief, Hovier. ''It''s Jinhyuk Kang... .'' At first, Elbert was also planning to use the title of Empire to suppress Jinhyuk''s spirit. No matter how strong a player is, the opponent is ultimately short. It is by no means comparable to a giant power. However. '' At best, I thought it was a wolf cub, but I was completely mistaken.'' A young age, not yet 30 years old. Yet what does it mean? What is this oppression? It''s like dealing with an absolute monarch who has crossed countless deadly lines and is worn out. It is difficult to even breathe in the stinging force that is transmitted to the skin. If such a person gets really angry and draws a sword... . ''It''s too much for us.'' Only the knights who came here to escort the Count were over 30... . It will be this way that will bury the bones if you run into them carelessly. Ah, Sir Albert. Now interest... I know. Sir, Count. First, let''s listen to the suggestions from player Jinhyuk Kang. When the situation calmed down, Jinhyuk took out two white sheets of paper on the table. You get one chance. Write down the best of the things you can offer each other and submit it to me. You mean don''t look at the liver in the middle? Yes. That''s what I mean. That''s enough to say with this. Then, please enjoy the rest of your meal slowly. T-Bone and the rest of the friends will guide you to bed. Oh! And you''ll see me for a moment. I, I haven''t finished eating yet. Cheon Yoo-seong, who had been pointed out, hurriedly leaned back. It was a movement that felt a strong will to move even 1cm further. Let''s go to the rooftop and eat together. There is an outdoor terrace where you can enjoy the moonlit night. If you push one person out, neither mice nor birds will know. Oh, I don''t like it.... Cheon Yoosung shook his head with a face in terror. I''m sorry, but I don''t have a choice. The condition I''m borrowing you for today is the condition I put on Moorim. Oh, that can''t be! Is that true? I''m sorry. If I refuse, I''m threatening to block the entrance... Seolin Baek blurted out the end of her speech. great. Now that I''ve gotten Baek Sullin''s consent, the long-awaited time for revenge has come. It feels like my fingertips are thrilled with how much torture I have to torment to death from punishment. ''If you put on a maid outfit and get 100 million views on the view tube, you''ll see it, and if it''s not enough, you''ll have to buy one for each view.'' It seemed that the accumulated people so far would be relieved a little. It was when Jinhyuk, who had made the decision, was about to get up. Creepy! The feeling I had felt the other day passed through my heart once again. An eerie and alien sense of incongruity. ''Maybe this... .'' Jinhyuk raised his head. And at a moment where it could be said that it was almost the same time. [Damn Seongju! enemy! Space movement coordinates were stamped in this fortress!] The white tree, the tangrasil, shouted through the telephony. Again, the reverberation of this mana was a phenomenon that appeared due to spatial movement from a very distant place. surprise attack. A very strong one is coming too. ''If you''re trying to sting, you''re just stabbing me when it hurts the most.'' A situation in which Tangrasil''s barrier does not function properly due to one battle. Because of this, the barriers of Tangrasil could not block this anti-magic. The rest of the people in the rest of the inner room felt the same thing. What the hell is this...! Is he the one with a swollen liver? Is there anyone who is arguing with this member? Seollin Baek and Cheon Namgung drew their swords. Sir Count. We''ll take you behind us! Yeah, yeah. Don''t touch a single hair on my body. The knights of the Empire also summoned titans and protected Hovier. 1 second. 2 seconds. and 3 seconds. Aww! A roar resounded throughout the castle. [Gate is activated!] with a red status window. The ground was cracked. Soon after, from the deep abyss, a skeleton covered in flames and lava appeared. Hwareuk! Whoops! The beautiful garden began to turn into a sea of fire in an instant. Creep... From the mouth of the flaming skull, dark red dreads flowed out. Jinhyuk frowned. shit. After all, this guy is coming. I expected something unusual would come, but I didn''t know that such an out-of-standard monster would appear. ''Is the mine association using a shortcut?'' Those who had not yet obtained some relics, including the ''urn that eats filth'' stolen from the psychiatric ward, must have used the next best solution. After killing time like this, you''re probably thinking of getting a Hidden Piece that will break through the 15th floor where the Wailing Witch is. ''Because you can bind me, the Empire, and Moorim at the same time... Of all the numbers that can be placed, it must have been the most efficient number.'' Jinhyuk took out his longbow, ''molar'' from the subspace inventory. You can''t do this to deal with that guy. Elise! Jinhyuk called Alice. Yeah! I''m here. [Mana injected into ''Braham''s Ring'' is relieved!] Jinhyuk broke the seal of Alice one step further. Chunkyung! As the prohibition was lifted, Elise''s height increased by about 5 cm. I''ll give you a mission from now on. Listen carefully. Well, if you don''t do this, it will become a sea of fire. So what should I do? There must be someone who opens the gate and binds the flame skull to the real world. Find him and eliminate him. To inflict a fatal wound on a flame skeleton, you must first deal with the necromancer who brought him to this floor. It must have been hiding somewhere around here, supplying mana. We''ll have to get rid of that damn demon, but the odds will come. And. Only one of them can track the faint demonic energy. Since the seal had been dismantled one step further, the mana detection power would have risen incomparably with the previous one. Can you survive without me? You should try to use as much time as possible. If possible, do not exceed 30 minutes. If you do, the entire base you have worked hard for may turn to ashes. That was then. It''s true that something like this happens at the celebration of becoming a Seongju... After all, it''s an event like you. Cheon Yoosung clicked his tongue next to him. How come it looks like a cool face? I can''t. It''s a sad face that the auspicious event was ruined. I See that corner of your mouth going up? ''You are really dead. See you when we''re done.'' Jinhyeok bit his molar and ran away from his seat. Elise flew out of the citadel. Wol-yeong and Andria also followed Jin-hyeok and prepared for the upcoming battle. Whoops! kwaaang! Tangrasil''s tree trunk temporarily blocked the movement of the flame skull. But it was only for a short time. As the volcanic bombs scattered all at once, all the plants were engulfed in flames and began to burn. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo It was as if the devil who appeared from hell was reenacting a scene from the book of Revelation. Jinhyuk, who was sitting by the window, protested against the ''molars''. Pants! A red arrow made of mana burned fiercely. ''Whoa... .'' Breathe in calmly and wait for the best time. Mana, who had been running wildly along the blood vessels, subsided after a certain moment. It is now! [Lv8 ''Red Magic Bullet (ɫħ)'' is activated!] A red flash of light flickered. [Lv11 ''Glacier Formation'' is activated!] And a blade of ice that was split into hundreds wrapped around the flash. [Lv9 ''Daylight'' is activated!] Finally, a dazzling brilliance overshadowed them all. A sniper that combines three skills. A huge mana stretched out towards the flame skull. CH 232 . Your choice (1) Pants! The light converges to one point. [''Echeulian''s Holy Spear'' is activated!] When the overlapping mana was merged into one, the shape of the arrow was already beyond the scope of the arrow. All the windows are smashed... . Aww! A straight line of light struck the skull of the flame skull precisely. The shock wave caused a strong gust of wind. kukukuku! The ground was ripped apart like a rag. Shredded clouds rippled and scattered. It was a blow with absurd power to be called a single arrow. But. Kurre... Even after being hit orthodox, there was no crack in the bone. ''Really, it''s disgustingly hard.'' Even if the opponent was Ogra-kun the other day, if he was hit head-on with the ''Echeulian''s Holy Spear'' made with three skills, it would not have been safe. Although there was a disadvantage that the preparation time was long... . Because it was this skill that could make even some giants and large species incapacitate in battle with one blow. However, the blood relatives of the higher Demon Clan were different. ''I can''t do this.'' Even if you load more mana, this kind of attack cannot inflict fatal wounds on him. No matter how many times you repeat it, the result will be the same. That was then. Boo woo woo! A huge arm pierced the outer wall of the fortress at once. Most of them were quick to dodge the attack, but only one. Hana, who was the least skilled, was caught in his hand. Aww! There was no one who could withstand the fear of over 1000 degrees. Before the scream could be heard, his whole body was engulfed in flames and disappeared. Overwhelming firepower that makes even self-defense force insignificant. If caught even once, it is death. By the way. Get rid of that monster before the Empire bastards! Show the dwarfs of Moorim the majesty of the empire! Suddenly, the knights and the Murims on both sides ordered an attack at the same time. No matter how stupid you are, even if you see that, you''ll be thinking of flirting. It''s fresh in another way. It was when Jinhyuk was about to bite his tongue as if it was ridiculous. '' hoo. is that? Something caught my eye. Titan. No, not an ordinary Titan. The titan, which resembled a nimble leopard, was a kind that had never been shown before in the Empire. Baek Sullin also took out a sword with both the blade and handle in white. The relics made of perennial cold iron were spewing out cold air. Indeed, there were no fools at all. Even if it''s not equal, it''s at a level where you can create your own variables. Even so, it seems that there are some heroes who are hiding as a huge force. And looking at it... . '' Is it possible?'' An interesting thought came to mind. Maybe the demons aimed at this place this time, could actually make it a big advantage. where What was that combination? I made it a long time ago, so my memory is a bit hazy. Jinhyuk thought for a moment, then nodded his head slightly. [Coin Exchange is open.] A coin shop, a treasure trove of all things. Jinhyuk made a shopping list that he should buy from among the numerous lists. [Sokeon Sewer Gutter Rat Foreleg 1: 500 Coins] [1 pack of steam from the 13th floor ''Misty Mountains: 1,250 Coins] [Ghoul King''s Blood 5ml: 30,000 Coins] [Death-seated grudge: 750 coins] There is one thing in common with the items I bought now. That is, it amplifies the demonic energy in the body. In particular, when using these 4 types of items at the same time, the user''s demonic energy temporarily increases to almost double. Of course, this is not the end. Jinhyuk pulled the black mana from his fingertips. [The unique ability ''Blood Magic'' is activated.] A sticky and ominous cancer-like energy. For Demon Clans, this is a concentrated mana that is both provocative and delicious. Honey! A blackened cloud of clouds continued to flow. ''If this is the case, it will not be defeated by the demonic energy of the advanced necromancer.'' Not for battle, but purely for announcing his existence. And that mana... . It was enough to attract the attention of other bastards below the ground. Kei... Keeek! A huge crack formed when the upper body of the flame skull broke through the ground. Numerous magical beasts in the demon world responded to the sweet mana that flowed from outside. Doo doo doo doo! With the sound of something hitting the wall. Kill...Kill...Kill! "Sweet flesh. Blood. Heik. I want to eat uh!" Whoops! Monsters unimaginable from this world began to creep out. Smooth skin without eyes, nose or mouth. A bizarre beast with a scythe in both hands instead of hands appeared first. Then, the female demon with a torn mouth dragged an ax bigger than her body. Other than that, I saw a beast that looked like a mixture of half a spider and a human, and a beast with a mouth full of sharp teeth on its stomach. They all had terrible looks. Of course, it was needless to say that he possessed demonic energy stronger than his appearance. Uh, what kind of madman is using the cancer attribute ability instead of responding with the polarity attribute? You don''t even know the common sense that demonic energy attracts them? Damn! They keep coming out. Staying here is all bullshit! Even just one flame skull is a pain in the ass, but I can''t help but be embarrassed to see annoying bastards appearing one after another. The knights belonging to the Empire managed to respond by using the Titan to equip their squares. The Moorims who belonged to the Moorim were divided into ten men each and engaged in an intercept battle. Naturally, he did not forget to curse those who use demonic energy. or not. Jinhyuk continued to raise his blood magic to summon a stronger one. ''Not with this guy. uhm. He''s not bad either... Slightly insufficient.'' Basically, Beasts have the characteristic of being very sensitive to their realm. If this was a demon world instead of the real world, it would have immediately caused a riot and biting each other. However, there are plenty of prey here, so they don''t even fight each other. ''Yes. That''s common sense.'' By the way. There is only one exception. That is, if there is a game that is unbearably delicious, not just the usual game. In that case, even in the real world, there are cases where they fight among themselves. In fact, some demonic beasts who were drawn to the blood mage were smashed while attacking the flame skull. ''My job is to keep spraying the bait until I find someone who can deal with that skeleton gourd.'' You don''t have to worry about the piles of miscellaneous bastards. After all, the Empire and the Moorim side will somehow survive. And in the end, if you wipe out all the weak ones as they become weak... . ''Experience and items... It means that the treasures are completely laid out on the ground, right?'' I thought the commemorative party for becoming a castle lord was completely ruined. He almost didn''t know about the hunting grounds flowing with milk and honey. Above all, if you can get ''it'' from the flame skull, it will be absolutely perfect. pounding! pounding! pounding! Due to anticipation, Jinhyuk''s heart began to beat rapidly. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A blue river flowed out along the sword. Namgung Chun unfolded the Basic Form, which he received directly from Namgung Sega. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! quick sword. A fast and sharp sword slashed the entire body of a beast wearing a barbed iron helmet. Chur hoo! The skin was so hard that it didn''t even break the bones, but it was still enough to break the balance. As the beast knelt down on one knee, the rest of the Moorim people who were waiting clinged to each other like a swarm of bees. neck, stomach, heart, etc. Whatever appeared to be a weakness, I stabbed it and saw it. Ke-e-eah... ugh! K-keek! As a result of running up to ten people, I was able to barely kill one. But without a moment to breathe a sigh of relief. Whoops! Uh... huh? The body of the man on the far side was broken with a gigigigi. Something translucent had dug into the man''s waist and then slowly lifted it up into the air. Aww! Hey, there''s something next to me! What do you mean? Can''t you see anything? He''s a guy with transparent abilities. Don''t panic, chase after it with your gi-gyeong. Don''t try to see it, feel the chi! No matter how hard the training was... . In front of the phenomenon you see for the first time, the day will inevitably become dull. Top-class masters and first-class samurai who worked hard in each clan lost their lives in vain. Damn it! Namgungcheon spit out swear words. The damage is growing out of control. No matter how many years Baek Sullin brought a treasured sword made of iron, it has no meaning against this large number. At this rate, everyone will just be killed here. right then Someone entered Namgungcheon''s eyes. The figure of the enemy standing still by the window above. ''no way .'' Sensing the demonic energy flowing out, Namgungcheon''s face was terribly distorted. no doubt It was none other than that damn bastard who constantly summoned the beasts from the rift now. ''I don''t know what the plot is, but it worked.'' If he killed Jinhyeok, the lord of the castle, taking advantage of this chaos, there was no reason to bow down and crouch. Rather, it may be an opportunity now, when all eyes and power are dispersed. After making that decision, Namgungcheon''s body disappeared like the wind. Tuk! lightly. fault! And quickly. Namgungcheon, who narrowed the distance in an instant, swung his sword towards Jinhyuk. No, I was trying to wield it. The moment the sword crossed it, someone intervened like lightning. Kaaan! The sharp sound of iron and the sparks that bloomed as the knives collided in one place. Your...! Namgungcheon''s eyes narrowed. The one standing in the way is the man who stayed by Jinhyuk''s side even in the fortress. It was Wolyoung. It''s ridiculous. Looking at the shape of Sword Qi or Basic Form, aren''t you a Moorim, not a player? Yes. "But, why are you on his side? Are you planning on betraying Moorim?" Betrayal... . At the words that came out of Namgungcheon''s mouth, Wolyeong let out a self-contained laugh. It was a laugh, as if reproaching himself. Yeah. I betrayed you. He was the only person who treated him warmly, who had been raised by memorization without emotions for the rest of his life. The person who said that they would not throw away even a single person to them, who, of course, would be thrown away at any time after being used. I betrayed that person. And. Even though it is known that he has turned his back. He didn''t blame him. He didn''t even ask why or listen to excuses. I just smiled and accepted it again, as always. A dazzling brilliance dwelled in Wolyeong''s sword. Pants! Riding the sword, more intense light than ever before began to burn. My name is Wolyeong. obscured by the bright moon. Only those who are allowed to exist in the shadows. It is the shadow that serves the master. I''ve already made one mistake. And twice again... . [The unique ability ''Shadow Slayer'' appears.] I will not repeat the same mistake. No one can pass this way. The shadows have fully bloomed. CH 233 . Your choice (2) ''Shadow pole kill (Ӱؽ)'' is based on high-speed movement using shadows. There is almost no sound or presence, and because it can move in short distances, it is a very difficult technique for opponents. If you even use Wolyeong''s unique ''Muumbo''... . Its sharpness is doubled. Kaaan! There is no time to discern how many sums have come and gone in a second. A dazzling flame flashed. Kaka Kaka! Soon, the sword attack raged like a storm. ! Namgungcheon took a deep breath. Wol-young, who had been in front of him just before, suddenly attacked through the shadow behind him. They avoided it by a single sheet of paper, but this time it was close. Had the reaction been delayed even a little, I would have lost my life. [Namgungcheon activates Lv10 ''Changgung Muae Swordsmanship''!] It was simple, but Namgung Sega''s self-defense martial arts, which contained the secrets of all swords, unfolded. kukukuku! A light and cheerful sword swept the place where Wolyeong was. But. It was after Wolyeong had seen all the swords. sush... . Wolyeong, who had moved to the shadows, took a stance again. No matter how much the sword was passed down directly from the long writer of the Namgung-se family, it would be unreasonable to break through Wolyeong in a short period of time. Damn! Cheon Yoosung! In the end, Namgungcheon made a decision. Don''t just stare blankly, help now! It''s a pity that I can''t kill them all by myself, but I can''t help it. If this is the case, I have no choice but to borrow someone''s hand However, for some reason, Cheon Yuseong did not move easily from its place. What are you doing! If you stay like this, you will all die! Namgungcheon urged again, but Cheon Yuseong just stared at Wolyeong. A moment''s silence passes. Cheon Yoosung slowly opened his mouth. "You why do you trust him so much?" I really want to ask you. I''ve heard that you''ve been with your master for a long time. But why don''t you trust your master? trembling There was a slight change in Cheon Yoosung''s face. But the change disappeared in an instant. That guy and I don''t trust each other. An enemy to be defeated with a sword. Nothing more, nothing less. Do you really think so? The lord... he''s told you many times before. He''s cold and blunt, but he''s not that bad. " " Cheon Yu-seong! Don''t be deceived by those words, chase him and cut him off immediately. Wasn''t that what you were with us for that? As the atmosphere was about to get weird, Namgungcheon raised his voice even more. Don''t forget the day you first came to us. For what purpose you threw everything and joined hands with Moorim. Remember that! purpose. Yes. Deciding to go with Moorim was by no means an easy decision. That cold decision... Cheon Yu-seong pondered it slowly. I get it. The conversation ends with that. kwaang! Cheon Yu-seong turned his back and sprinted towards Jin-hyuk''s seat. Is it because of the flames created by the flaming skeleton? The windows were stained red. And among the dazzling light pouring down the window, Jin-hyeok, who was waiting for Cheon Yoo-seong, stood there. It''s finally here. Well, I expected it to be like this, but isn''t the timing a bit off? Jinhyuk shrugged. The current fortress is reminiscent of an apocalypse. Even at this moment, the people of the Empire and Moorim risked their lives to fight against the beasts coming out of the abyss. But, I also expected a better stage than this. However, not everything goes the way I want it to. For Cheon Yu-seong, this battle was far more important than the destruction of the world. Again, this is a boyish statement. facing the top and bottom of the stairs. The two faced each other. Silence flows Because we know each other so well. The sword was not easily drawn. right then Cuckoo! As the ceiling collapsed, a marble shard fell between them. A momentary void created by falling stones. [Cheon Yuseong activates his unique ability ''Song of the Sword''!] The sword pulled out like lightning neatly cut through the shards. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Through the fragments that were cut, Jinhyuk was seen holding the ''fangs'' in reverse. The blade burning black due to the ''Tomb of Swords'' collided head-on with the sword of Cheonyuseong. Cheon Yu-seong broke his molar and bit it. ''From now on is important.'' Until now, I have been fighting against a dead person like Taesan countless times. I lost and lost so much that the bitter aftertaste of defeat cuts on my tongue. Not all of those experiences were meaningless. Kaga! Cheon Yu-seong, who looked like he was about to face off, moved Sword Qi down in an instant. The sword that flowed down from the sword was aimed at Jinhyuk''s feet. ...! Jinhyeok quickly turned on the track, but Cheon Yuseong was reading even those numbers. Yeah. You always tend to shift your center of gravity to the right when you outsmart. The sword moved at a strange angle like a snake. If the timing is even a little off, I''d rather be hit by the fangs first. It wasn''t natural for the timing to be wrong. kwaang! Jinhyuk''s body trembled greatly. He trembled softly on his right thigh, which should be his support. Right now. ''This time I will win.'' Only one chance. He vomited up all the mana that Cheon Yu-seong had accumulated. A tangible blue energy was fully expressed through the sword. Aww! When the sword strike with the force of a raging force exploded, Jinhyuk frantically swung his dagger. Kak! Kaaan! A cold sweat flows and the breathing becomes rapid. In contrast, Cheon Yu-seong, who took the victory, ran even more wildly. And finally. The moment when there is no more place to retreat. [Chean Meteor activates Lv14 ''Battlefield Selection''!] [Cheon Yuseong activates Lv14 ''Ilgito (һTӑ)''!] Two skills were cast at the same time. ''Battlefield Selection'' where you can choose the stage that is most advantageous to you. ''Ilgito'' boasts the highest efficiency at 1:1. All of them were skills that had been honed to the limit for this match. [The image world opens.] A world that has turned into achromatic colors. There were no flames that burned red, and there were no beasts that ran wildly. Jinhyuk clicked his tongue as he looked at the eul-like space. You don''t know the expression to keep your hands in your hands? We''re not even teenagers, and if we run wild like that, we''ll go out of business. Even if you are completely pushed back, that death is still there. Do you know? No matter how much you are injured in one of your legs, you cannot defeat me. Maybe. I''m sure I''ll have a hard time this time. Having a hard time... a little? Is that all you can feel? Huh. Jinhyuk nodded his head. ...that''s right. Confidence that never loses time in any situation. That''s why you''re losing to me today. Cheon Yooseong held out his sword in front of him. tsutsutsu ! The air changes rapidly. The fire that came into contact with the skin had a different feel than any other swords Cheon Yoo-sung had shown so far. I had no choice but to do so. Because it wasn''t this black guy''s sword. ''no way .'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. ''Chuhon Sword Dance (׷ꄦ)'' The creator of Chuhon Sword, Chuhonsayeong. no doubt ''Equation 10'' The 10th Basic Form is said to contain the essence of the many Basic Forms of the Soul Sword. Obviously, this is an incomplete Basic Form. however. Cheon Yuseong reproduced a fragment of that sword. ''Thousand lightning flashes''! KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! kwaaang! Dozens of lightning bolts falling from the sky razed the ground. Because of how powerful it was, there were even some holes in the barrier due to ''battlefield selection''. Heh heh... heh heh heh. Cheon Yoosung took in a rough breath. done. If this is the case, no matter how much the damn bastard, it won''t be safe. ''my Victory!'' The long fight has finally come to an end. By the way. Thunderbolt is great, but if you don''t master it with more than 6 stars, the pattern becomes simple. Even if you use a low-level expression, it would have been more likely to increase the degree of perfection. A familiar voice was heard in the rising smoke. so casual. It''s like you haven''t been harmed at all. Even the harsh breathing and moaning sounds that had previously been gone were all gone. "I can''t did you read all the movements of lightning, even that?" "To be honest, I was a little surprised. It looks like you''ve been training really hard." These words are sincere. Because I never imagined that I would see the 10th type of the Soul Sword here. Whoops! Don''t be useless sympathy! Get rid of those words! Cheon Yu-seong swung his sword again. However, the power and speed of the body that had exhausted all of the mana in the previous attack could not be applied. The sword cut through the air. Thousands of times. Boo-woong! Thousands of times! I held the sword. I did not neglect my training to the point that my hand bled. Cheon Yu-seong let out a sound that was close to a scream. It was a shouting sound as if the accumulated minutes and fatigue were exploding all at once. I gave up everything to bring you down. I mean, I threw my everything away! But... why the hell! Why every time... the result is like this... The tip of the sword was blurred. Whoops! The sword, which had lost its strength, was stuck on the floor. I... don''t know how to win. Now I really... don''t know. Cheon Yu-seong''s body trembled thinly. Outstanding talent and effort that is second to none. Even though I have it all... A wall that can never be crossed. That sense of despair was like a shackle to deny its existence. Jinhyuk, who watched it for a while, opened his mouth. You''re the one I''ve been arguing with in the tower the longest. When everyone else folds up and leaves. The leeches that remained and fought until the last were Cheonyuseong. At first, such a guy was just annoying, but... . Later, after everyone left the tower, I realized that even that bother was missing. That''s natural. Because no one was left around the deceased. Talent and hard work. The reason you keep losing even though you have it all is because you''re in too much of a hurry. "Is it ?" Yeah. I know you''re nervous, but don''t try to finish it all at once. The tower is always here. And . "I will always be here too." now and in the future. There was still a lot of time left to get to the top of the tower once again. You mean you''re going to keep fighting me? Yeah. So, stop crying. Why is the guy who used to be called Geomseong in the past is crying? Lose your form. Who, who was crying! Cheon Yoosung quickly stole his eyes. If that guy shows up like that, it seems like he''s really angry. I''m sorry for the ugly appearance. Yeah. I don''t know maybe I lost my original mind. Cheon Yoosung wore a bitter smile. It was a time when I was motivated just by taking on a challenge. How many different and novel ways to attack the opponent, and whether that will work. I remember the time when I was full of anticipation. I owe you. Really... There was silence for a while, as if no words were ever spoken. But it was only for a short time. Thank you. ''If you did this much, it would be okay.'' It''s not common to comfort a crying child. It was even more difficult to pretend to be in a tight fight. However, thanks to such hard work, I cleared the first condition. as soon as. Conditions for acquiring new skills. Jinhyuk once again confirmed the information he obtained through ''Eyes of Gluttony''.

[Copy condition: A second copy can now be made to the same destination. A swordsman who has lived his entire life to defeat only you. If I make you forget the goal of such a sword for a while and reach out to you, you can copy one of the skills that Cheonyuseong possesses.] [Additional clause (request of higher divinity): If you can wear a maid outfit to a swordsman, you will be able to copy one of the skills that the swordsman will acquire in the future.] Copy of two skills. Never give up on this ''One has been achieved, now there is only one left.'' In addition, because of Wolyeong''s choice, ''Shadow Slayer'' was copied, so in this battle, he had acquired a whopping 3 skills. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. Did you say you owe me? Well? Why are you pretending not to know? I just told you. You owe me. Yeah, that''s what I said... If so, it''s time to pay off that debt. right now [Subspace inventory is open.] [You have chosen a high-class lace maid outfit made in France.] The light of emotion disappeared from Cheon Yu-seong''s face in an instant. All that is left is deep, dark despair and regret. CH 234 . Guntafer''s clan ''Antrad'' (One) [The battlefield selection has been dismantled.] When the image world was broken, the figure of the two people in it appeared. Although one person was dressed beyond imagination. " " Cheon Yoosung looked down at the floor with a face distorted in shame. This icy bastard wears a high-class French maid outfit with a lot of lace. And there will come a day when you will see it in front of your eyes. Fuck! Shut up! No, I''m sorry. But really... pooh! "This you bastard to chew on. If you show your teeth one more time, I will kill you!" Okay. Okay. Okay. Seriously, I''ll stop laughing now. Look. It''s a normal expression. I''m 100% serious now... Fuhahaha! No really. Crazy, is this a true story? Jinhyuk couldn''t hold back his laughter and turned his head. Sreung. Cheon Yuseong, whose face was flushed red, pulled out his sword halfway. It is an atmosphere that seems to break the long-awaited reconciliation chapter in one shot. No, where is that? I''m glad the knife didn''t cut my throat. It would be scary to go out at night in the future, but... . ''Still, I''ll definitely pick up the view tube views.'' This damn bastard has a bad personality. The original version is flat, so the fan base is quite strong. Some idols can''t even show their business cards. Thanks to this, the value of such a high-quality video cannot be measured in money. ''Big. I''ll have to upload it first.'' It is important to post this first. Jinhyuk noticed Cheon Yoosung, carefully activated the broadcasting system, and then uploaded the video. [[The Secret Hobby of the Swordsman (Feat Crossdresser/Secret Private Life/Stupid)] I felt my instincts send out the supreme beep. However, at the same time, his instincts as a BJ were also wriggling. Even if Cheon Yoo-seong holds a sword and knocks on the front door, if he doesn''t upload this video, he''s not a BJ. ''Yeah, even if I regret it, that''s what I do in the future.'' Jinhyuk nodded his head. and just in time. [You succeeded in copying the unique ability ''Shadow Slayer''.] [Successful to copy skill ''Battlefield Selection''] [The copied ability is stored in ''Memory of the World''.] Status windows indicating the success of the copy appeared one after another. Jinhyuk barely swallowed the cheers that erupted. battlefield selection. Although I couldn''t copy it because of ''Song of the Sword''... . It was one of the skills I''ve been coveting since I first met Cheon Yu-seong in the corridor. ''Because this is a unique barrier, it is a kind that cannot be implemented even with barrier''s ability that I have.'' The last one has to be used later when Cheon Yu-seong acquires that skill, so with this I achieved everything I wanted. great. Now all that''s left is to dispose of the gigantic skeleton gourds that are playing chess in the garden. Calm down and listen. I''ll tell you how to deal with this situation from now on. Jinhyuk whispered something into Cheon Yoosung''s ear, who was shivering. As the conversation progressed, Cheon Yu-seong''s expression changed dramatically. ...that''s crazy. Are you serious? I had no choice but to do so. Because what Jinhyuk is proposing right now is completely suicidal. nevertheless. Is it possible. Jinhyuk was smiling. As if probabilities and risks didn''t matter. kukukuku! A wall that collapses with a single gesture. Red flames erupted from the skull''s eyes and mouth. Ugh... I don''t think such a monster exists. Hey, the giants were nothing. The knights of the Empire and the Moorim people here were all capable of handling qi. This means that if it is a sword sword or Aura blade, it can inflict damage on higher-ranking beasts. However, all of that is a story when you can get close to the range where you can attack. No one even approached the flame skull, which was surrounded by layers of fear. ''You''re too weak.'' A flame skull looked down. Shivering, terrified creatures. And it was his mission to come here only to trample on all those insects. Whoops! Aww! Aww! The heat emanating from his body engulfed the nearby titans and knights in flames. The heat caused the iron armor to stick to the skin. Chi profit! Everyone''s faces turned white at the terrible smell of burning flesh. Damn it. Avoid it! There is no short-range answer. No matter how hard I try, it''s a dog death! Wizards... we need to ask the wizards for reinforcements! The troops faltered and retreated. The flame skull looked at it for granted. It was natural for a prey to tremble in fear of a predator. By the way. ...? While everyone turned their backs, two humans were approaching him. It''s understandable if you''re frightened to the point where you can''t do common sense. I could have wished this nightmare would end sooner rather than later. However. The tension on the human face, slowly closing the distance, was not even visible as a fingernail. Rather, the relaxed smile scratched the nerves of the flame skull. Especially the guy in the front with a dagger. ...Laughing? Did you even go crazy with fear? I''m sorry, but it''s been so long since I''ve felt that way. Jinhyuk shrugged. A cheeky human being... The flame skeleton slowly raised its body. With the lava gushing out. A larger crack appeared on the ground, and nearly half of her body appeared above the ground. I felt great heat. A little while ago, it was the very fear that melted the knights of the Empire alive. [Lv11 ''Glacier Formation'' is activated.] The crushed ice powder formed a transparent film. Hey. That''s a recipe. If you were a normal human, you would have burned your lungs the moment you breathed. An exclamation flowed from the mouth of the flame skull. Then, realizing something, my body stopped. Come to think of it. This mana. Yes. It''s you. The kid who threw a bow at me from the window. Long-distance magic condensed with three attributes. Although it failed to inflict damage, its power was comparable to that of other Demon Clans. That''s right. I wanted to pierce the skull at once, but it was surprisingly hard. Did you consistently get good calcium intake? " " There was silence for a while because of this very provocative death. However, it was only for a short time. Yeah. You''re talking nonsense because you don''t know who I am. If you knew about me, if you knew anything about the floor I belonged to, you would regret what I said and despair. You''re too self-conscious. Maybe I know more about this tower and the world than you do? Don''t be ignorant of the precious knowledge of small things. Your life isn''t even the dust of the years we''ve lived. Well. At least I wouldn''t agree with that. Mr. Flame Skull. ...No, would it be better to call him ''Andrat'', the flame of the Black Valley? Andrat. A blood relative of Guntafer, one of the commanders of the demon world, and at the same time, an advance squad that seeks to expand its power to the lower floors of the tower through the Magic Association. That is the true nature of this guy. "Uh, how do you know my true name? You bastard! What the hell is that!" I told you. A human who knows more about the tower than you. To the end! Do you think I''ll believe such nonsense! Kukuku! Mana with anger began to overflow. The fire gnawed at the ground, increasing its momentum. And finally. Andrat stood up completely from the ground. The giants were also huge, but this guy was nearly twice the size. Because his head was enough to go beyond the outer walls of the fortress. It''s a fight with a guy from the upper floors... . ''Honestly, I''m a little nervous.'' The atmosphere was just right. Provocation should be enough. Now is the start. Cheonyuseong! Jinhyuk sent a signal to Cheon Yooseong, who was next to him. Damn it. I''m not your bait! Although Cheon Yoo-seong complained, he did not forget his role. fault! Cheon Yu-seong, who lightly hit the ground, sprinted in a clockwise direction. The target wasn''t Andrat, but the small beasts that started pouring out when he got up. [Cheon Yuseong activates his unique ability ''Song of the Sword''!] [The magic of the Soul Sword is reproduced through the sword''s hand.] A dazzling sword light was scattered, and then a wild beast pierced through the beasts. Scratch! Keeek! A three-headed female monster lost all its heads with one sword. Aww! Cyclops, who were behind them, also lost their one eye and screamed in pain. "This piece of meat that is only a bite away !" Kick-kick. Because I''m a woman, I''m going to lose weight. I''ll chew on it whole. I''m not a woman. I''m a man. Take a look. I''m a man because my clothes are weird. Isn''t it spoiled meat? The beasts looked at Cheon Yu-seong''s clothes and face alternately, and each spit out a single word. One more time. If there is a guy who talks about my clothes, I will treat him as the same guy as Kang Jin-hyuk and kill him first. There seems to be some very dangerous remarks mixed in... . Still, that guy always looks like a hogu. Some of them are monsters that can''t even rub their collars. And to prove it. Is that Colonel Timo? You''re also Colonel Timo. You too! You too! Cheon Yuseong began to wipe out the demonic beasts at a terrifying speed. The desperate scream of a swordsman who had lost all his pride resounded. Hey, what... are you up to? Andrat tilted his head as if he did not understand. that for a while. Andrat''s gaze turned to Cheon Yuseong''s hand. After killing the little beasts, he saw the black jewels from the corpses. That''s... . no doubt An Artifact that crystallized the demonic energy of demonic beasts. It''s magic. The moment a thought crossed my mind. Aww! A sharply polished block of ice hit the back of the head. It didn''t take damage, but it was an attack with enough power to arouse irritation. Uh-huh. Where else do you focus your attention? With this handsome date in front of you. Jinhyuk floated the windows made of glacier sculptures in the air. If this is the case, it will be possible to earn enough time for Cheon Yu-seong to be active for a while. I thought so. Andrat, who should have been running rampant on the road with anger, was surprisingly calm. No, it''s not that calm. I think it''s summoning a powerful magical beast that will destroy me through magic and demonic energy. Indeed, he is a man who uses his brain quite well. ...! The operation was overlooked. Contrary to the expectation that he would be full of arrogance and arrogance, Andrat was in a state of drawing cool conclusions from surprisingly small clues. However, the worst had only just begun. Whatever plans you have. It''s all in their palms. Human. A voice as cold as ice came from Anthrat''s mouth. At the same time. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo I could see beams of light gushing out from far away. There is only one occurrence of this phenomenon. you . Jinhyuk bit his lip. This is unusual. CH 235 . Guntafer''s clan ''Antrad'' (2) Multiple Kangma Ritual. A ray of light rising from the ground indicates that a new Demon Clan is manifesting itself. kukukuku! As the ground cracked, the sky began to clear. Among the dark clouds, red pillars flickered one by one. Beyond forests and mountains . Hundreds of kilometers away, each Demon Clan is awakening. ''Anthrad'' from Salt Hell. ''Maghdra'' from the Ice Spirit Hell. ''Belmariell'' from a toxic hell. ''Shellkerim'' from Hell. The familiar mana handed down from afar was a kind that I couldn''t forget even if I wanted to. ''Including Antrad who is manifesting here, there are 4 of them... is it.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. It was within the expected range for the demons to gather the relics and summon Antrad, but other than that, they''re going to summon the other three. This is impossible due to the structure of the system. no . Actually, there is only one way. But the number of cases that it meant was the last kind of thing I wanted to put off. Jinhyeok, who had assumed the worst, quickly shaved his head. ''The thing you need to pay attention to now is to deal with the manifested beasts.'' the problem is. It''s a way to block the rest of the beasts except for Antrad... . Someone else over there has to come forward and give it to you. They are also very talented people. The worries didn''t last long. [Baeksa.] Jinhyeok called for an assistant who was not far from the fortress through the electric sound. A high ranker who is a close aide to the dark hwang and is promised to be his hands and feet for the time being. If you were in the White Temple and the Shadows, you would be able to entrust this task. [I asked why they didn''t look for us even when the inside of the castle became a sea of fire. I''m calling you now.] As if waiting, the white man''s voice returned. Seriously, the Demon Clan from the upper floors popped out, and there''s no way you wouldn''t have noticed it. [If I knew, the story would be faster.] [I''m sorry, but that guy is too much even if we all attack. Personally, I also recommend that you run away rather than fight back.] [I''ll take care of this guy. I have another request for you.] [Are you talking about the beasts from the rest of the pillars of light? So are those guys. It''s like a natural disaster that we can''t do anything about.] [I''m not asking you what to do. Instead, explain the situation to those who can do it and ask for help.] [It is possible Anyone?] [Master.] Cell Gyerim of Infinite Hell manifested toward Moorim. To stop it, you need the help of the Dark Hwang. [You are making unreasonable demands. No matter how pretty the dark emperor looks at you. Do you think you''ll be able to do something like this?] [well. If you were a teacher, would you do that for a cute disciple?] Even when climbing the Tower of Trials in the past, the love of the disciple of the Dark Hwang was different. He is infinitely cruel to his enemies, but he gives up everything to those he once thought of as his side. That was the dark hwang that Jinhyuk remembered. [ ] Well, that''s good. I decided to act as your limb, so don''t regret it later.] [And one more thing.] [Well?] [I have a colleague on the side of the Holy Kingdom. My name is Teresa. Please tell me that you are asking for Magdra that has manifested near the Holy Kingdom.] [Theresa... I get it. Don''t tell me that.] The last valmaryel side has no sharp numbers. I can only hope that the Empire and Moorim will move as much as possible. It was at that time when Jinhyuk took the whole song. Did you lose your mind because all your plans went to waste? Why are you stuck on the spot? Ah. I''m sorry. I was thinking about something else for a while. I was thinking a little about how to cook all of you. Even the snout wasn''t frozen. Yeah. It''s better to cut it off than a guy who gave up on everything. Anthrad slowly stretched out his hand towards the air. Quad Duck! A crack appeared in the space, and the gigantic sword that was beyond the dimensional wall slowly revealed itself. [Antrad summons Lv30 ''Sword of Flames''.] All moisture in the air disappeared. hot and Unexpected heat approached my skin. It was as if Hell itself was brought into the real world. This is the power of the higher level Demon Clan''s kin. pounding! pounding! pounding! Jinhyuk''s heart was beating rapidly. Not because of fear. Rather, at this point, the level is less than 100. It was because he was crazy about how much he could fight against an enemy twice that number. ''Yes, this is the tower of ordeal.'' It''s not fun if the difficulty is easy. There is also no sense of accomplishment in perfection without variables. through the difficult and difficult road. Getting the reward at the end. That''s why I was able to see the top of this world. Jinhyuk once again confirmed the information he obtained through ''Eyes of Gluttony''. [Antrad] Race: Demon Clan Age: 5583 Level: 165 Strength 126 Dexterity 115 Stamina 382 mana 177 Control of Fire 224 Unique Ability: Will of Fire skill: ''The border of the demon world'' Lv35, ''Fear of Hell'' Lv2, ''Unbreakable Bones'' Lv22, ''The haven of the dead'' Lv22, ''Sword of Flame (ן)'' Lv30, ''The Last Hour'' Lv19 Detailed Description: Anthrad is a powerful beast who spearheads the wars of the demon world. He has high basic stamina and defense, as well as excellent attack power, so an ordinary player cannot even scratch his body. Duplicate Conditions: It is impossible for a player who has just been involved in the middle of the tower to win against Antrad. Just survive Anthrad''s head-on attack. Doing so will allow you to copy one of Anthrad''s unique abilities and skills. (Required time: 30m / If the distance from the target is more than 100m, it is considered a failure.) The gap is so wide. Because of this, the system also raised the condition of survival rather than extinction. Of course, even this is not easy. In a limited space of 100m, especially, I had to deal with Anthrad, who drew a sword of flames. ''If you do not completely avoid each attack or halve the power through skill, you will die as it is.'' At first glance, it looks easy, but in fact, it was one of the most difficult of the copying conditions so far. However, with high risk there is a high return. ''The opportunity to copy the ability of the upper layer must be seized unconditionally.'' It is natural. Antrad''s abilities have incomparable value to players and residents. Jinhyuk took a stance. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A wall made of glacial sculptures and four-star barriers engraved with ancient runes were laid out layer by layer. And at that very moment. Cute! You''re going to block my attack with ice powder!? KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A stream of fire collided head-on against the ice shield. Due to the high temperature, all the grass around it turned to ashes. Even the beasts that were nearby were engulfed in the heat. Chi profit! A scorching heat rose from the ground. Even though he merely swung his sword lightly, the wounds on the ground seemed to never be erased. However, despite the craze, the ice barrier managed to maintain its shape. It was almost half-broken, though. Are you okay...are you okay? Cheon Yoo-seong, who was next to Jin-hyuk, opened his mouth. It''s okay. You''re not the youngest. The appearance of smoke rising from the body. It seems that even the sword shield was not able to offset all the shock. You should be lucky just to have survived. Rather than that, the operation to collect the magic was caught on, so what are you going to do now? The only number of spleens I had prepared was revealed before it even started. Even if you use a magic jade that is still lacking, it will be difficult to summon a high-ranking beast that can deal with Antrad. However. There was one point that Anthrad also overlooked. The fact that the lack of magic can be covered with enough demonic energy. [The unique ability ''Sword Graveyard'' is activated!] different from blood magic. A much purer and darker demonic energy spurted out through Jinhyuk''s fingertips. ''In case you notice it, I''m glad I only used blood magic instead of the sword grave.'' Hide 30% of your skills. This word is going to be so useful. In that way, the next best solution to induce the opponent''s vigilance and outwit them began to shine. kwaduk! kwaduduk! The surfaces of the demons cracked all at once, and the black smoke in them flowed out. ''I don''t have enough demonic energy, but I''m sure there must be someone who can use it... .'' Jinhyuk swallowed his dry saliva and prayed earnestly inwardly. and after a while, Keeeeeeek! A sharp scream erupted from below the ground. Amazing, Great. What was revealed was a huge insect that reached 10 meters in size. burrow spider. He is a scavenger of the demon world whose only purpose is to prey, to the extent that he is nicknamed the evil eater. Through the still thick smoke, the tunnel spider threw herself at Anthrad, who was blocking her way. Aww! Anthrad swung his sword, but the Tunnel Spider was also attacked with its sharp claws. How the hell...!? The flames rising from Anthrad''s eye beam shook violently. A high-ranking beast that can never be summoned when looking at the amount of magic. Since such an annoying existence suddenly appeared, it was natural for me to be embarrassed. However, the attack of the tunnel spider continued without even knowing the reason. Whoops! Green fluid passed between Anthrad''s ribs and burned the ground. It is a strong acid poison. kwaang! bang! bang! Whoops! Since the outer shell was so thick, even flames could not easily stop it. Kieek! Who do you dare stick your teeth to on the subject of a damn bug? It seems that he has lost his fear because he has become obsessed with prey. Anthrad roared harshly. The two demonic beasts, whose size alone gave them a sense of intimidation, took out their weapons to end each other''s lives. A brief void created by the tunnel spider. Jinhyuk took advantage of the gap to recover mana and stamina at a rapid rate. [I used the Lv5 ''Jintae Cheonghwarang Heart Method''.] [Lv6 ''Shallow Breath'' is activated.] Due to the two auxiliary skills, mana spread all over the place along the blood vessels. Uhhhh... it''s fine. He adjusted his breathing, healed wounds, and created a condition that allowed him to move. Thanks to you, we got through the crisis. Now let''s get out of here while that spider is rampaging. No. We''re not running away. what? At Jinhyuk''s words, Cheon Yoosung''s eyebrows curve backwards. Are you going to fight? With that monster? "The opportunity to face a high-ranking beast doesn''t come very often." Of course, running around over time is enough to duplicate the ability. However. It''s not that I''m struggling just for that. A reward that can only be obtained by hunting Antrad. If even the system makes the impossible possible... . That will be the cornerstone for overwhelming growth. It''s ridiculous. To risk your life for a reward. No matter how much you are dead, it''s unreasonable. That''s right. It would be impossible to be alone Yoosung-ah. Isn''t that right? Jinhyuk called Cheon Yuseong''s name for the first time. The only teammate among players who can hit the back. At the same time, he is a strong person who can create a single sword that can cut through the flames of Anthrad and cut through the bones with him. That person . If it''s the two of us, we can cut him off. There is only one. CH 236 . world of players (1) Kaga! Sharp front legs brushed Anthrad''s body. At the same time, Anthrad''s fist blasted through the torso of the Tunnel Spider. kwaaang! A battle between two giants beyond imagination. All attacks and defenses were far beyond common sense. Kie-ee! With a wild roar, something thick spurted out of the burrowing spider''s mouth. [The tunnel spider spews Lv19 ''digestive fluid''!] It is not a form that widens the range with a spray form, but a form that reduces the range to the limit. However, even the outrageous anomaly was within Anthrad''s expectations. Anthrad''s body moved quickly, not befitting his size. He avoided digestive juices by the tip of a piece of paper. You idiot! He swung the sword he was holding straight across. Scratch! The sword of flames severed the burrow spider''s neck with one blow. kuung! The huge body fell vertically. Having dealt with the annoying bastard, now I can afford to look away. ''By now, that human guy must have run away quite far.'' Wasted quite a bit of time. In 10 minutes, you''ll be out of the fortress and running away for a long time. However, no matter how far away he ran, he had no intention of letting go. ''If you don''t know about other people, it''s as dangerous as that person.'' Before you grow further, if you don''t stop breathing here... . ''Maybe someday come back as a giant sword.'' Anthrad''s instincts continued to send warnings. If they miss this opportunity, they may be the ones who will suffer next. kuung! The body slowly moved out of the fortress. Now is the time to pull the reins of the pursuit. By the way. ...maybe, this mana. It can''t be. This doesn''t make sense. Because I never even imagined that humans would face them without running away. However. Looking at the two players who appeared in front of me, I couldn''t help but deny the reality forever. Even if it was a distant future with much more growth... . I hope you will point your sword in this situation right now. I... I! Did I look so funny! [Antrad activates the special battlefield Lv19 ''Demon World''s Border''!] KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A fear that transcends cognition erupted from Anthrad''s body. At the same time. All the ground I could see around me began to turn purple. ''The borders of the demon world''. It is a wide-area skill that encroaches on the ground and builds an area for only the Demon Clan. Jinhyuk and Cheon Yuseong drew their swords and received the heat head on. great heat Even breathing is not allowed. profit! Unable to bear the fear, Cheon Yu-seong''s clothes burned. And in its place, the defensive coat that was worn before took its place. ''this.'' A light of regret passed on Jinhyuk''s face. That''s expensive... . However, in order to withstand Antrad''s flames, Artifact with resistance options is essential. It''s dangerous to stay here for a long time. Yeah. I''ll have to hurry. Jinhyuk gripped his fangs in reverse. But, can you follow me? Are you going to move quickly from now on? You must not be left behind. If you get in the way, I will throw it away mercilessly. Anyway, you''re pretty even once. The frivolous conversations exchanged before the battle began. It''s too much noise to share in a life-threatening situation. That much. is believing No matter how strong the enemy, if the two people who climbed this tower work together, they can surely defeat it. Pants! A frost cloud made of ''glacier modeling'' wrapped around Cheon Yuseong''s body. [Increases resistance to fire by +20%!] kwaang! With the sound of spurting the ground, the new model of Cheon Yuseong disappeared. It appeared on Anthrad''s right shoulder. Did you dare attack me first on the subject of flying insects? Antrad responded immediately. The flame-heated sword moved to cut through Cheon Yu-seong''s whole body. However, just before the sword reached Cheonyuseong. Puffy! Whoops! A spear made of ice sculptures and elements of fire struck Anthrad''s wrist bones. It wasn''t enough to inflict damage, but it was enough of an attack to slightly shift the orbit. Don''t forget that I''m there too. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. Take advantage of that momentary gap. The Basic Form of ''Sword Soul'' swept Antrad''s right side. KwaKwaKwa KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwak! kwaduduk! Small fragments were scattered. No matter how much armor surrounded by flames in front of the sword, it could not be a shield. Aww! Anthrad''s mouth erupted in pain for the first time. it is now This time, the ''daylight'' condensed to the limit dyed the field of vision white. In addition to ''Blessing of the Stars'', a single flash of light that maximized divine power crossed the space. Aww! The collision of light and flame created a huge shock wave. Its power is close to that of Hetzling''s small breath. Thanks to this, the center of Anthrad has completely collapsed. [Cheon Yuseong activates Lv11 ''One Point Breakthrough''!] Blue light connected by a single dot. As if a heavy armored knight on horseback was digging into the enemy camp, Cheon Yooseong also spewed a terrifying force and rushed towards the goal. Pop! The sword that pierced through Anthrad''s ribs reached the mass of red flames inside. Uduk! kwaduduk! Anthrad''s heart. It was a crystal of life made up of flames and demonic energy. Wow! A tendon protruded from Cheon Yu-seong''s forehead. By the way. He tried to crush his heart with all his might, but somehow the sword didn''t move. As if to say that there is an allowed limit. Did you enjoy thinking that the attack worked? A cold voice escaped Anthrad''s mouth. Dangerous. Having judged that way, Cheon Yu-seong gave up the attack and quickly spread the distance. Whoops! Immediately, black flames erupted in the spot where Cheonyuseong was. Where do you think you are? An image world made up of the boundaries of the demon world. Here, everything is done according to the will of Anthrad. All the struggles I''ve struggled with so far were all possible because Antrad gave me permission. In order to encroach on this world, I deliberately acted like I was being attacked and dragged on time, but I didn''t expect to be fooled so easily. The broken fragments were regenerated. The shaking eye light also burned fiercely. In that way, Anthrad''s body was restored just as it was when they first met. No, it''s not just finished at the restored level. [Antrad uses the hidden skill ''miniaturization''.] I will admit one thing though. To be honest, your superhuman strength was astonishing. Probably, most of the Demon Clans have just been destroyed by an attack. The truth, neither praise nor exaggeration. Antrad spoke the truth calmly. In that sense, I will also treat you worthy of your death. Anthrad''s huge body began to shrink in an instant. 10m 5m 2m. The miniaturization stopped only after it had shrunk to almost the height of an adult male. It should never be taken lightly because of its small size. The ability to minimize the mana wasted to maintain a large body, and instead put the collected mana into a small body. This is what Anthrad looks like only when he kills his enemies with all his might. Please, don''t die too easily. It''s been a really long time since I''ve fought like this. Tuk! Antrad''s body moved one beat faster than the rustling sound. Kaaaah! Jinhyuk reflexively swung his sword to offset it. Rather than seeing and responding to it, it was closer to unconsciousness based on countless instincts. A red line remained where the sword had passed. This occurs when heat is set in the air. Huh? Did you react to that? "If someone in the middle has the power to overflow with minutes, the attack pattern becomes monotonous." Hmm. That one mouth is a masterpiece. Then, let''s see if we can continue to relax even if we increase the speed one step more? kwaaang! As soon as the words were finished, two red lines were drawn in the air. Jinhyeok and Cheon Yuseong''s bodies were thrown away by 2m. Throb! ! What kind of sword... Fast is also fast, but even the power is out of the standard. Even in a 2:1 situation, it was not easy to endure. ''It''s dangerous like this... .'' Although he was bluffing to the fullest, the limit was at most to endure a few sums. It was then that a familiar voice was heard in Jinhyuk''s ear. [Okay now! You can start.] Really... . I almost fell off my neck while waiting. The essential condition to fill the overwhelming gap has just been cleared. Good work. These words are sincere. Jinhyuk muttered towards Elise, who was far away from here. ...!? It was the same with Antria who realized the strange thing. Indeed, I ate one shot. Was this all meant to destroy the demons? That''s right. You weren''t the only one who took the time. How did you find the location of Mine? I have a dog that has an amazing sense of demonic energy. The distance it can supply mana is limited, so it didn''t take long to find it. Hahaha! I''m sure there are humans who know this much about the Demon Clan. It''s fun. It''s like dealing with a Demon Clan, except for the looks. That''s a very bad guy. Anthrad let out a loud exclamation. But it was only for a short time. So, what are you going to do now? Even if the source of mana is cut off, you still have enough time to be in the real world. Above all, as long as this world remains, there is no chance for you to win. The ground around Anthrad was dyed a darker color. This world is the reason why the Demon Clan can show strength beyond the floor. Yeah. That''s not wrong. But that''s it. As long as the magic is gone, we have been able to create image barriers as well. One skill that could not be used because the source of mana supply disappeared was unlocked. ''Choose the battlefield'' that can take over the space skill. It''s absurd. The image barrier is the understanding of the tower. How well you know this world determines the completeness of the implemented barrier. Are you talking about? Anthrad smirked as if it was ridiculous. However. That laugh didn''t last long. You really don''t know, but...don''t talk about what this tower is like. Your head can''t handle even a speck of dust. There is no right to say such a thing to an intermediate Demon Clan who only stays on the 40th floor. And from now on. Let me show you what this word means. [Select Battlefield .] Moment. A dazzling light flickered in the darkly colored world. [ ] ''Top of the Lonely Tower'' is activated.] The summit of an unnamed place full of stars and the moon. This is the image world Jinhyuk remembers and experienced. Uduk! A crack has arisen in Anthrad''s realm. It can never happen. No, it shouldn''t happen. It didn''t make sense to say that human skills could interfere with the world created by the Demon Clan. Heavenly Star. Know. In the crumbling debris. This time, the mana of Cheonyuseong bloomed slowly. Pants... ! Again, cracks began to form in the corners of Anthrad''s realm. [The battlefield selection ''Have of Swords'' is activated.] Scattered byeokgokdan and swords spread out. A place steeped in sweat and blood that has been shed to achieve one purpose throughout one''s life. It is the space that created the present sword castle itself in this gloomy and desolate landscape. like that. [Special conditions have been met.] [The 3rd battlefield ''Players'' World'' is activated!] Two worlds overlapped into one. A third concept that breaks free from existing laws and bridles. The image world created by Jinhyuk and Cheon Yuseong completely cleared the ''demon world''s battlefield'' that Antrad had spread out. vision has changed. What has changed... . It wasn''t just the sight. Unbelievable . A sigh filled with despair escaped Anthrad''s mouth. CH 237 . world of players (2) Stars and moon embroidered the night sky. And the swords of the swordsman stuck on it. This is no longer a demon world with deep darkness. It is a sanctuary for those who live only to see the end of this world only for players who climb the tower. [All players'' stats are increased by 30%!] [All stats of hostile monsters are reduced by 30%!] With the status window dyed blue. A gentle breeze heralded a new beginning. "Hey, what the heck is this nonsense how?" Anthrad''s voice trembled violently. Interfering with the world of higher beings and turning it upside down. Isn''t this a realm only allowed for Demon Kings and divinities? It would have been impossible if I was alone. A world can never surpass you. However, if it''s two... . If two worlds could interfere with one realm. Then, no matter how perfect an image, it can create loopholes. Jinhyuk extended his sword forward. [Unique ability .] A blue river flow gently spread along the sword. At the same time. Cheon Yu-seong, who was on the other side, also stretched his sword forward. [Unique ability .] Two different players. Naturally, the two are perfect strangers with no contact points. However. [ ] ''Song of the Sword'' is activated!] There was no sense of incongruity in the abilities expressed from the two swords. The sword began to sing. Singing a melody more beautiful than ever. kwaaang! Kaka Kaka! A sword strike that raged like a storm. Anthrad frantically swung his sword, offsetting the attack of Heavenly Planet. Wow! A completely different situation than before. Concentration diagram of mana in the gum. Sophistication and bitterness of Basic Form. It cannot be compared to before. Thanks to this, Antrad was in a hurry to defend. Damn it! This is nonsense. It can''t be! Antrad screamed and swung his sword loudly. It''s too big a move. Cheon Yoosung lightly brushed his sword and hit the counter. By the way. Antrad allowed the attack of the Heavenly Star this time as it was. kwaduk! Left arm neatly cut off. creepy A cold chill ran down his spine. this is bait Because I felt the obsession to take the life of the other person even if I gave up one arm. At a moment where it could be said that they were almost simultaneous. The flame-heated sword was blasted straight at Cheonyuseong''s neck. Because the attack was attempted while neglecting the defense, there was a half-time gap in Cheon Yoo-seong. If it''s now, it''ll definitely happen. Kaaaah! But the blow of conversion was in vain. Just before the blade reached Cheon Yu-seong''s neck, Jin-hyuk swung his fangs and twisted the track slightly. It was just a little too bad. One side is in charge of the attack and the other is in charge of the defense. Depending on the situation, the role changed like water, and even a small gap was not seen between the connections. Damn... jeez! Anthrad hastily spread the distance. Even though he gave up one arm, he did not break the pass. "How on earth how are humans, things like humans!" They perfectly penetrate each other''s swords. where to attack where to go I mean, you know it all. However, does that make sense? Do you understand others as well as yourself? Anthrad''s mind was smeared with confusion, but he had no chance to figure out why. This is because Jinhyeok and Cheon Yuseong, who have come all the way to the front, have developed the last basic form of the Soul Sword. Pants! The Chuhon Sword, which was studied by Chuhonsayoung, created the first Basic Form. ''Chuhon Sword Dance (׷ꄦ)'' The tip of the sword is blurred. Remnants create remnants, and smooth curves form ripples. ''Form 11'' And on top of that sword, Jinhyuk''s sword was superimposed. The only Basic Form that can be used by two people who have inherited the Soul Sword. ''Two swords and one union'' The ripples of the sword have completely disappeared. A realm of nothingness where even a handful of mana cannot be felt. At the same time. Scratch! Anthrad''s heart was split in half. The last Basic Form was so different that the person who had been vanished reacted only after a few seconds. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Red smoke billowing out. Anthrad struggled to contain the energy of life with his hands. But, it''s useless. No matter how strong the Demon Clan was, it could never survive if the source of its power was destroyed. Sa, please save me. Guntafer-nim. Your family... is dying. Anthrad scrambled his hand towards the air. It seems to be common for all living things to humbly beg for their lives. It''s no use. He''s not very merciful. He probably won''t even listen to your pleas. Yeah...what does he say he knows about him? He doesn''t abandon me. Never! Well. You don''t seem so sure about saying that? ...that, that. Anthrad''s eyes slowly faded. You must now realize that you have been abandoned. In fact, since the barrier of the white tree, Tangrasil, has been activated again, the higher divinity cannot see it. ''There''s no reason to tell this guy that.'' It''s better to misunderstand it naturally. To throw the last bait. ...it''s all over. It''s useless. Thousands of years of allegiance have been in vain. At that fact, Antrad let go of the last hope he held onto. great. it''s done with this Jinhyuk lightly stretched out his hand. Don''t give your allegiance to a useless guy. That heart. Give it to me. My heart...? Why do I have to make you laugh? because. "I will send Guntafer, who abandoned you, to your side as well." Not a bad story, right? The owner who abandoned you like a chess horse will also face the same end? If you''re going to die anyway, give the owner some nice candy. I''ll make sure to mention your name at the end of him, even if you don''t know anything else. " " Silence lingered for a moment at Jinhyuk''s casual remarks. "Khahahaha! Indeed, you are like a arrogant human being. If that happens, I think my resentment will go away even a little bit." What followed was a satisfactory madness. Okay. Human. Take it. My half heart. Dump! Anthrad pulled out his own heart, which had been split in half. At the same time, Anthrad''s eye light was completely turned off. [You have acquired the relic ''Heart of Antrad (Half)''!] [Intermediate Demon Clan ''Antrad'' has been destroyed!] [You have achieved an amazing achievement! Today''s work will be inducted into the ''Hall of Fame'' tomorrow.] [Many factions pay attention to what you and player Cheon Yoo-seong have done.] [The giant ''demon world'' from the upper levels has strong hostility towards you!] A number of status windows appeared one after another. only one. Except for the status window notifying the level up. ''This is as expected.'' Due to the special nature of Guntafer, the experience points of middle managers under it are not counted. It''s a bit disappointing, but no big deal. In the first place, this job was to get a huge reward and this guy''s unique ability rather than experience. ''Among the rewards I''ve received so far, the most gorgeous ones will be given. Jinhyuk''s eyes turned forward again. [Achieved by adding the requirement of the copy condition.] [The target''s unique ability is copied.] [You have acquired the ability of the ''higher version'' due to the effect of the unique ability ''fusion''.] [Primal Flame] Acquisition Difficulty: Unmeasurable Description: The flame that started all fires on an unknown floor in the tower. All unique abilities and skills caused by fire were eccentric from this flame, and are unique abilities with infinite potential for development depending on the user''s skill level. [The element of fire is replaced with Primal Flame.] [Level is inherited as it is.] [The copied ability is stored in ''Memory of the World''.] ''crazy .'' Jinhyuk managed to swallow the cheers that were about to explode. I knew it. A reward that far exceeded expectations came out. Of course, it is possible to inherit the level of the existing ''Element of Fire'' as well as copying the top-level unique ability. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart was beating uncontrollably fast. It was the first time since the personal reward of ''the first to conquer the tower'' to have achieved such an absurd performance. I glanced to the side and saw that Yooseong Cheon was also frantically scanning the status window. That guy, too, seemed to be completely absorbed in the rewards that were different from usual. ''But not as much as me.'' Thanks to obtaining the Last Heart, he was able to obtain the 1st Karma. Then... . Glittering Artifacts could be seen from Anthrad''s body. ''Fox Bead''. ''Sword of Flame''. ''1009 Cookbooks for the Bad Eaters''. ''The Fountain of Oblivion''. All of them were Hidden Pieces of S level or higher difficulty to obtain. Besides, the last ''fountain of oblivion'' is the first item I''ve ever seen... . peek. Jinhyuk looked at Cheon Yoosung once again. It was still visible in the status window. gulp. with the sound of swallowing dry saliva. His hands moved faster than his eyes. [All 4 items are stored in the subspace inventory.] It was a prank that risked his life, but luckily Cheon Yu-seong didn''t notice. Instead, a smooth bone fragment was placed where the items were. It was a ''high-quality bone snack with magic stone studded'' that was prepared for sweet potato snacks in the past. And that was when the change was over. I did a rough check. Now, let''s share the rewards... Hmm? Closing the status window, Cheon Yoosung, who was walking this way, raised his eyes. A face full of doubt and disbelief. I dealt with an unimaginable boss level Demon Clan, but only one bone fell, so that has to be the case. Ah... this? Maybe it''s because that friend is naked. He said he was bald. He was a completely slick guy, huh. Jinhyuk scratched his head as if he was shy, Then he picked up the bones that had fallen to the ground and handed them over. please . Still, it looks like a pretty high-end bone, how. How would you like to have this? I''ll make a special concession in consideration of the hardship. I hope you will be deceived. Of course, most of the earnest prayers do not come true as desired. If you don''t want to die, it would be better to bring out all the hidden things. No matter how good the item is, it won''t be more precious than your life, right? Cheon Yoosung approached with his sword drawn. It was like seeing Elise when her bloody life almost forced her to eat mint chocolate. Oh, okay. I''ll give it to you. I''ll give it to you. But. Are your legs okay? His right ankle looked uncomfortable because he had been injured in a fight before. Do I have to say that subtly limping seems out of balance? Hmm. It hurts a little, but I''ll be okay with a day or two off. There''s no need to worry about that. It''s two days before... . Yeah? Then it wouldn''t be easy to run fast right now. what? Thank you for many things today. Jinhyuk had the brightest smile in the world. Now is the time to run away. CH 238 . world of players (3) The work in the fortress was finished, but the phones in the middle floor were not turned off. The border area between the holy kingdom of Sedes and Murim. This place has now been declared wartime by two high-ranking Demon Clans. Deng! Deng! Deng! Deng! With the sound of the bell, the gates opened wide. All civilians, evacuate to the inside of the castle! There is no time to pack all the miscellaneous things, so come inside now! The commander of the guard shouted for his throat to burst. The situation in which the rangers and the knights, including the separate units, were all annihilated. All that is left is to believe in the walls and the Holy Knights that have been strengthened with divine power. When the last refugees come in, lock the gates immediately! If you endure and persevere, the Empire will send you support. Until then, you must defend the wall at any cost. right then Koooooooh! Kick-kick. In the distance, the sound of a beast''s roar resounded. Disasters that are approaching even at this moment. They were Magdra and Shelkerim. Magdra in the form of a knight holding a hellbird with a huge body of about 7m. In contrast, the Shellkerim resembled the appearance of an adult female. Of course, they were each holding a thin and long sickle and a glass bead with a soul, although it was quite far from an ordinary woman. After Anthrad was defeated, the two Demon Clans, who joined forces to prepare for Manhana, were in the process of ravaging the Empire and the formations of both the Moorim and the Empire. For hours, countless soldiers attacked like swarms of bees, but all turned into cold corpses. There was no longer a fearless human standing in the way. That was when the first goal, the holy kingdom of Sedes, was in sight. With the sound of stepping on the blades of grass. sabak. A shadow appeared in front of the two Demon Clans. That''s it. Another person who doesn''t know the subject has appeared. Kick. Who isn''t? Humans don''t seem to have the ability to learn at all. Even the Knights and thousands of troops couldn''t stop us. But you thought you could fight us alone? The two Demon Clans raised their mana as if they weren''t the same. kukukuku! The pressure on his whole body was not at a level that a human could dare to endure. That moment. A skein of blonde hair flowed down over the dazzling white armor. I can. If it were me, Blue-green eyes stared straight ahead. No... if it''s ''we''. It was Saint Teresa of Amsterdam. [Theresa unleashes her unique ability ''Blessing of the Stars''!] A dazzling brilliance falling from the sky. Teresa''s sword was dyed white. For the Demon Clan, the divine power, which boasts the power of supreme power, is combined with the ability of a player who is at the top of this field among players. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The light enhanced by ''Blessing of the Stars'' crossed in a straight line at once. An unimaginable storm engulfed the two Demon Clans. Chi profit! Thick smoke rising from the ground. The long scars along the forest seemed to tell just how powerful the attack had just been. However, even the divine light was not enough to put an end to the Demon Clan''s breath. Although they did some damage, Magdra and Shelkerim, still alive and well, appeared. Is it a paladin? It''s pretty scary. Kick! That''s right. Among the Paladins I''ve met so far, it''s still the most usable. Magdra and Shelkerim each muttered. Although he''s a fairly strong paladin, that''s only at the level of humans. They could never be their enemies. Hit it right away and stop breathing. And I was planning to break into the castle behind me and slaughter all the humans inside. By the way. Another popular figure appeared from the other side of the forest. jerk. This time it was an old man in light clothes. One of the two pillars supporting the Heavenly Demon. it was dark Heh heh. Were you in the middle of it? I interrupted this a bit vaguely. The dark eagle burst out laughing. The heaviness felt at light footsteps. Even though he was just talking, the atmosphere changed. ...! " " Magdra and Shelkerim also raised their demonic energy in an unusual atmosphere. It was instinctively felt. Rather than a paladin using divine power, this old man was far more dangerous. The dark emperor''s gaze turned to Teresa. Hmm. Who is the Sojour? I heard that the Empire and the Moorim all retreated, but no matter how you look at them, they don''t seem to belong to either of them. I''m a player from Europe. You''re a player... It''s a story about someone who has nothing to do with this floor. But why are you risking your life for something like this? At the question of the Dark Emperor, Teresa paused for a moment. Why did you come here? Why do you dare to step forward even in a situation where you have no interest? Can''t we just watch innocent civilians get involved? Of course, there is a reason for that. But the biggest reason is . I''ve been asked by someone dear to me. I want you to save the people here. Jinhyuk believed and asked. No more reason was needed. ...well, it seems that the other person the white man spoke of was the sojourner. "If it''s a white man maybe, did your grandfather also accept Jinhyuk-san''s request?" Teresa rolled her eyes. Heh heh, in the last years of his life, he called him a disciple, but he got his nose firmly stuck. What a talent he has... Amhwang, who let out a self-helpful laugh, added a word soon. Still, seeing that there are people who don''t hesitate to say a word to him, it doesn''t seem like he was just walking in vain. A warm smile spread across his face. This probably means that your choice is not wrong. The Dark Lord took a step forward. At the same time. kuung! A crack occurred in the ground. The ground cracks like a tortoise shell. It''s like saying you''ll never allow anything that stands in your way. The weight of this daily report was heavy. [The German martial art ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong'' is blooming.] Mana, like the deep sea, shook. Truly overwhelming power. Well, which one will attack first? It doesn''t matter if two guys attack at once. The Dark Huang reached out towards the two Demon Clans. Kick! You''re arrogant. Shelkerim slung a long scythe over his shoulder. I''ll take care of this old woman. You take care of her. Okay. Don''t be vigilant. Even if you don''t know a woman, the old man is tough. "You really shouldn''t get hurt while playing." That''s such a funny joke. Magdra smirked. There was not even a single variable at the level that Teresa showed a while ago. All you have to do is organize it quickly, join Shellkerim and deal with that old man. Aww! kwaaang! Shortly thereafter, the battle between the Dark Huang and Shelkerim began. Like an intermediate Demon Clan, Shell Kerim began to fire various curses and magic. Only the tricky and deadly types of each. kukukuku! And Mugong of the Dark Hwang who opposes him was also far beyond the realm of human beings. The terrain changes in an instant. The strength the two monsters showed was so different that they had to draw a new map. I''m sorry, but I also have to join over there. So let''s end the fight with you quickly. Magdra lifted the gigantic Hellbird high. Convinced that one blow will decide the winner. However, in the next scene . Ugh? Magdra had to breathe in the wind. Okay. I''ll finish it quickly. [Theresa activates ''Corruption''.] Black tears flowed down her white cheeks. The pupils change to an ominous color and the corners of the mouth slightly raised. What was even more surprising was the quality and type of mana that rose from the body. All of a sudden, the divine light disappeared. The black flame that rose on the sword had a vicious energy. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A dark red light flickered following Teresa''s sword. Truly the blink of an eye. A thin, thin line pierced through Magdra''s body. Whoops! Red blood gushed out from Magdra''s back. Gagging? The barrier surrounding demonic energy has been breached? Such nonsense... . Magdra looked at Teresa in disbelief. Soonding said that. If it''s ''we'', we can win. A sweet voice from an alluring figure. Teresa swung a shield imbued with divine power and a sword imbued with corrupted mana in one breath. A great event that 4 Demon Clans manifested by demons. Exactly two days have passed since the doomsday catastrophe occurred. Antrad, who appeared first, was destroyed by Jinhyeok and Cheon Yuseong''s hands. Magdra and Shelkerim were killed by Teresa and a mysterious old man in the steppes of Sedes, the Holy Kingdom. ...You don''t know who killed the last Belmariel, right? Jinhyuk asked Cheon Yooseong, who was walking next to him. Yeah. Due to the structure of the ''Hall of Fame'', which is uploaded only once a day, the person who killed the last Demon Clan will be revealed tomorrow. I thought Teresa and Master would be able to take charge of the Demon Clans enough, but... . I had no idea who had dealt with the Belmariel. ''Whoever is, he''s pretty talented... .'' Who are you really? Jinhyeok, who was lost in thought, quickly smiled. That''s why Tower of Trials is fun. Because elements that arouse curiosity are constantly popping up. Don''t laugh alone like a child. When are you planning to give out the item as a reward? "Ah that? I meant to tell you right away. It''s already been two days since I sold it and I''m completely empty-handed." What, what? No, you mean you sold what you hunted without consulting? Originally, there''s a statute of limitations on this floor, but if you don''t solve it on the same day, it''s over. Why don''t you play this game for a day or two? Which game claims ownership of an item after a few days? If you can''t find it at that time, it''s the end. Besides, aren''t you going to go to the imperial capital in a little while and receive compensation for this from the emperor directly? You''re satisfied with that. Whether it was the return of the heroes or what, the entire empire was enthusiastic about this event. The purpose of strengthening the imperial power would be greater, but the emperor held a large-scale banquet and said that he would open a non-gong peddle to the players . You will probably be able to secure a share. What the fuck is this fucking bastard... you''re calling that a horse! No matter how much you... Due to the logic of a robber, Cheon Yu-seong ran wildly along the road, but Jin-hyuk had already covered his ears with two fingers for a long time. Then, this time, Elise, who was on the other side, poked Jinhyuk''s side with his finger. It''s all good, can''t we eat and go? I''m really hungry because I''ve been walking for hours. mosquito! Elise and the sweet potato insisted on the meal with one voice. Are our mosquitoes hungry? Jinhyuk''s voice became very soft. The sweet potato, having cleaned up all the worm labyrinths, just returned to Jinhyuk''s place at dawn this morning, and the quality of mana has definitely changed. It has grown tremendously. Of course, it was still so cute that I wanted to bite it. The 5th Spirit Beasts are also resting in the subspace inventory, so I''ll have to call them soon to find out how much they''ve grown. Okay. Did you have a hard time with our sweet potatoes? Eat a lot. Eat them all. Jinhyuk hugged the sweet potato and gave him a bone snack with magic stones in his mouth. Mosquito! Mosquito! The sweet potato groaned and moved its mouth continuously. Hey, me? Don''t worry. I''ve prepared a special meal for you too. Oh. It''s unique. Yeah. Is it a high-quality wine? Or is it a top-quality steak? A dish made with sea urchin and crab meat the other day is not bad. Elise''s eyes twinkled. The small black wings fluttered up and down quickly as if they were full of appetite. Mint Choco. There''s a special half-gallon-sized one. You said you put in more than the amount, huh? You''ll be able to eat it all day long. Do you want to die? Do you want to die? Choose one of the two. Alice''s expression turned cold. Anyway, why are there so many people who don''t know this taste? That was when Jinhyuk and Elise were fighting. Who is there? Cheon Yu-seong, who was walking in the front, stopped. Who''s there? Come to think of it, At the forked end of the road, there was a uniquely shaped tree, and a certain person stood there. Now that the war between the Empire and the Moorim broke out, and even the Demon Clans ran rampant, there is no way there are civilians in this place. However, there was no way a person without armor could be a soldier. But, the moment I saw that person''s face. ''Yeah, that guy was also on the 20th floor... .'' Jinhyuk''s pupils trembled thinly. there''s no way you don''t know How could you not know? One of the many inhabitants of the tower I most wanted to meet. CH 239 . The great explorer ''Pesis'' Numerous inhabitants of the Tower of Trials. Some of them especially remained in Jinhyuk''s memory. Ellis of the Ataraxia family, Rick Hennessy, a middle manager, and the Dark Emperor of Heavenly Demon Protestantism were typical examples. And the man in front of them now was no less than them. The great explorer Pesis. ''Except for me and the divinities, he is the one who knows the most about the Tower of Trials.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. It looked like it was looking at the trees, but in reality, the main purpose of Pesis wasn''t anything like that. it''s waiting The players who exert a great influence on the tower. A little more precisely... . ''To talk to me.'' Jinhyeok, who pretended not to know, took off his shichimi, and approached Pesis in front of him. Are you studying Isrian seedlings? Oh! Do you know about Isrian seedlings? It is a tree that is used as a raw material for the juice that cures ''sarcoma cancer'', one of the incurable diseases. It is not yet complete. Hey, hahaha. It''s amazing to see other people out there like this, and even more amazing the knowledge you have. Yes. That''s why I was looking into this sapling. no matter what It''s strange. If it''s for the purpose of treatment, would you be aware that you can''t make a cure with a seedling of this size, right? At Jinhyuk''s words, Pesis''s mouth widened. You''ll just have to be frustrated. It was because he was seeing precisely the value of the seedlings he had chosen to attract attention. Also, his real name came out, so for Pesis, the first button was sewn completely wrong. Hahaha. You were a lot more interesting than I thought. Indeed, the wait was worthwhile. Jinhyuk Kang player. Did you realize that you don''t need clumsy acting? Pesis let out a good laugh. ''Yes, I''m glad too.'' Jinhyuk, who smiled brightly, activated the ''Eyes of Gluttony''. T-tiring! A status window with details of the opponent appeared along with a cheerful voice. Name: Pesis Dantalion Gender: Male Age: ??? Level: 50 Strength 23 Dexterity 25 Stamina 26 mana 11 Crisis Sensing 152 Stat Points you have: 0 Occupation: Explorer Unique ability: floating on the floor skill: ''Sixth Sense'' Lv16, ''Non-tired stamina'' Lv16, ''Multidimensional Map'' Lv15, ''Elocution Skills (qg)'' Lv14, ''High Sensitivity'' Lv14, ''Excellent appearance'' Lv14, ''Responsiveness (RC׃)'' Lv13, ''Synergy (Passive)'' Lv12 [[Copy Conditions: Fasciss, attracting the attention of many divinities, is an explorer of the tower, and at the same time a messenger spreading the news of the tower. Both conditions must be cleared to copy the ability of Pesis.] 1. After a while, please listen to Pesis''s ''request''. 2. To recruit Pesis as a teammate, you need to show how good you are to your current teammates. Continue to emphasize teamwork and boost morale. When more than a certain level of satisfaction is met, you will be able to catch both birds: copy ability and recruit companions. ''I think I''m doing pretty well... The system is also profound. It must be something different from the human standards.'' Jinhyuk tilted his head slightly and turned his gaze back to the status window. The first thing that caught my eye was the unique ability. Pesis'' unique ability ''floor floating'' has the deceptive feature of being able to freely cross each floor under the 41st floor. It means that you do not have to deal with boss monsters or meet certain conditions to move to the next floor. However, the only thing that could not be seen as good was that those with this ability had to give up all of their combat skills and had a fatal flaw. ''Irrespective of the battle, you should enjoy purely exploring the tower.'' No need to be disappointed though. You can''t copy the unique ability, but there were some useful skills among them. ''Let''s see... .'' Jinhyuk has his taste buds. skill ''synergy''. When using two or more skills at the same time, it is a passive skill that increases the stat by 10%. ''This is an essential skill for multi-skill users like me. You should definitely get this.'' pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart was beating fast at the thought of firing up my already improved skills. Most of all, it was thrilling to be able to copy the abilities that other people cherish and cherish day by day. great. I had a script written in my mind about how to do it. So, what were you waiting for us for? Haha... It wasn''t with bad intentions. Actually, I had to meet several top players and residents. Jinhyuk is the fifth guest I met this week. An explorer whose main purpose is to wander the tower... meet people This is quite surprising. Perhaps the system''s request is also related to this. "What kind of guest are you talking about?" Jinhyuk slowly opened his mouth. OK. Ranking of the top. Pesis said something unexpected. ...the ranking of the top? Yeah. As Jinhyuk-nim knows, there is no metric that can compare the rankings between the numerous residents of the Tower of Trials and the players who have joined outside the Tower, at least officially. In the past, even in the Tower of Trials, only the top rankers were vaguely weighed, but the exact ranking was not grasped. However, now that it has become a reality, a new standard is about to be established. That''s right, by the system. ''It''s fun. Is this a different point?'' I graduated from rank game a long time ago, but this is quite interesting. It is not simply a numerical ranking, but the value of the influence that the ranking means. That will be a huge factor in climbing the tower in the future. ''The system and divinities are also related, so the higher the ranking, the more benefits will be given.'' Raise the reputation of the base you are currently occupying, and reinforce defense facilities, etc. In negotiating with the residents, the weight of the remarks is given, etc. Well, it must have been to figure out the rankings that have been waiting for us. Haha. That was a big part. In fact, aren''t the members of ''Goin-Mul Corporation'' led by Jinhyeok so fierce? I thought that we had to meet to fill in the blanks in the rankings. "We are a small elite, but so how do we participate in that ranking?" Oh! Are you saying you''re the Primary God by cooperating with the investigation? Of course you should. In order to achieve the first copy condition, you have to grant the request anyway. Of course, saying that fact does not need to diminish Pesis''s favorability. ''You are destined to be forced to join our company.'' And at that very moment. [Members of the small and medium-sized force ''Go-Man Corporation'' have been incorporated into the ranking measurement.] [People included in the ranking are Jinhyeok Kang, Alice von Ataraxia, Andria, the 5th floor boss monster, Yuseong Cheon, ???(Sweet Potato), and Teresa de Laurencia.] A blue status window appears. After Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, Wolyoung, T-Bone, and the 5th Elemental Spirit also did not make it into the rankings. The names of Melena or Dwarf Blacksmith Orun, who were at the level of an executive in the Mine Association, were also nowhere to be seen. How high is the replacement standard? Jinhyuk said it was absurd, but Pesis exclaimed with exclamation over and over again. Hey, it''s amazing. I''m sure so many people will be included in the rankings! I''ve met a lot of people lately, but it''s the first time I''ve ever had a member like this. A lot? All, of course, there are so many! The rankings that can be included in the ranking are up to 1,000. There are giants in the upper echelons. They are included in the ranking, but there are also beings that I have not met under my authority. He''s also amazing as a player, especially among the players, there aren''t many cases in the rankings." Pesis, who was talking urgently, added a word. Of course, ranking does not mean combat power because various other factors such as achievements and influence are at work, but except for a few special cases, it is generally considered to be in direct proportion. if so . It means that the ''the guys'' on the top 50 are also on the rankings. Since Pesis also doesn''t know everything perfectly, it would be correct to think that the system manages the whole thing. That was then. Why did it take so long? Did someone you know do it? mosquito! Elise and the sweet potato, who were waiting behind them, approached. Cheon Yoo-sung and Teresa, who was at the back, also looked at Jin-hyuk and Pesis alternately with curious eyes. Ah, sorry. It''s been a long talk because there''s something quite interesting. You guys should take a look too. They say this is the latest system introduced. Jinhyuk gestured towards the air. Huh? What is it? mosquito? "Ranking ?" Wow. It''s amazing. Everyone''s eyes turned upwards. [???Sweet Potato (28th), Ellis von Ataraxia (29th), Kang Jinhyuk (117th), Teresa de Laurencia (231th), Cheon Yuseong (688th), Andria (815th)] [There may be parts that the system cannot grasp due to various variables.] [Reliability 97.85%] Come on, wait! Are you kidding me? Alice immediately raised her hand high. What''s wrong? I think it''s just right for me. That''s right! What the hell is right! Why am I ranked lower than that stupid reptile? As if she could never comprehend, Elise began to run rampant on the road. mosquito! On the other hand, the sweet potato, which received a high ranking, waved its tail in Jinhyuk''s arms with a proud expression. That''s right, sweet potatoes are counted when they manifest themselves. You know what about ancient species? Well, then what about me? You were like that in your prime. It means you''re not like that now. What would you say if you had a good story about the tiger smoking days? Not now. "That''s the case but I''m pretty useful, too. If I do it right, I can do better than that anemone." I know. What made you feel so embarrassed. Not like you. Jinhyuk lightly placed his hand on Alice''s head. For a moment, I had the illusion that Alice had become calm. "I have a fairly high ranking." "Mr. Teresa wasn''t she highly regarded for her rise when she ''fallen''?" Ah... it''s because of that friend... Theresa bowed her head in embarrassment. It seemed that it was not easy to accept the black version with a completely different personality from his own. understand it To be honest, that version was too burdensome for me. The parties must feel like they are facing a black history at every moment. Finally, Cheon Yu-seong also showed his molars and growled low. "There is no way that the gap between me and you is this wide." "Are you arguing that you didn''t know how to beat me just a while ago, and you already completely forgot about it?" I never said that. Wow Is this kid carrying an eraser in his head? I''m genuinely curious how you got into medical school with that head. No matter how you look at it, sticking a knife to the CSAT supervisor''s neck seems more realistic... . Okay. Let''s not talk. I''m an idiot trying to get you to get a robe. huh. Cheon Yoosung turned around coldly. As expected, the atmosphere between Jinhyuk-nim and colleagues is good. Does this look good? "Fighting is only possible with people you truly trust." Pesis, who was smiling brightly, stretched out. Well then, let''s hurry up, because we can''t get them too late and lose their lead role in Goin Corporation. "To lose it who else is coming besides us?" Did you not know? Another faction was invited to the banquet held at the Imperial Palace right now, besides Jinhyuk. At Pesis''s words, Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. "If it''s another force maybe?" Yes. The last Demon Clan, Belmariel. Those who got rid of him are now heading to the Imperial Palace. Maybe Jinhyuk-nim has heard of it too. The name ''Gandara''. CH 240 . Return of Heroes (1) ''Go... .'' Jinhyuk pondered the name slowly. It is one of the 7 major guilds, and is a medium-sized force that has been rapidly growing in recent years. Naturally, he had received love calls from various factions in the tower, and he knew that he was in earnest by selecting ''Moorim'' among them. By the way. That they dealt with Belmarijel. There are two cases. One has a higher level than those who were put into the siege in Moorim. In other words, the master, who is the longest writer of each clan, provided support. Or, the ranker ''Nirasha'' who leads the Gandhara Guild is stronger than expected. If the latter is the case, it would mean that Nirasha is growing at a greater rate than most of its inhabitants. The two factions are in a state of truce for a while to deal with the damage caused by the Demon Clan''s manifestation. This is where things get fun. Maybe an interesting event will happen before we go to the 15th floor where the Wailing Witch is. Of course, there is also the performance that can be gained through it. Mr. Pesis. Is this, you can''t check other people''s rankings? "Originally, there are conditions, but for Jinhyuk-sama, I will give you a special one-time service. May I show you Nirasha player?" Please. As Jinhyuk nodded, another status window appeared. [Nirasha (275th)] 275th place... . It is located quite high. Moreover, this ranking is constantly changing, so there is a possibility that it will go up further in the future. Thank you. It helped me a lot. Ah, but as far as I know, I''ve heard that Wol-young, Boon, and Andria are also there, but you can''t see them? Pesis once again looked around the group. "They were away for a while because they had work to finish." If there''s something to finish...? It''s a personal matter. Maybe we''ll see each other by the time we get to the Imperial Palace, so don''t worry too much. Hmm, something seems to be happening. Okay. I won''t ask any more questions. As long as we can meet, I don''t care. Then, let''s start slowly. Monsters often appear here at night, so it''s quite dangerous. Jinhyuk glanced through the trees. It is quiet now, but at night the large species will wake up and begin to be active. So, if you don''t want to get caught up in trouble, you need to get out of this forest before that. sure. No one will ever be able to get out of this forest, though. In the darkness illuminated by the faint moonlight. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh. Namgungcheon was running through the forest like crazy. His breathing became sharp and his whole body was wet with sweat and blood, but he couldn''t stop his feet for even a moment. Shh. Suck! Many shadows continue to narrow the siege. All of the colleagues who had already run away from the side had disappeared. whether somewhere else I don''t even know if he''s dead or not. But, I don''t have time to worry about that. The only thing that mattered now was that we had to move even a little further. I... this Namgungchun! I can''t die in vain... like this. He survived to go upstairs. The useless ones are mercilessly thrown away, and the useful ones are used... . Finally got to this place. By the way. All of that had gone to waste. That''s because there''s only one damn guy named Kang Jin-hyuk! I''ll kill you. Next time, I''m sure... I''m going to take all the Moorim people from the five generations and old file rooms and take them by the throat! It was at that moment when Namgungcheon, who hid behind a tree, was biting his molars. No, there is nothing next for you. A low, beautiful voice echoed through the air. this voice. no doubt It was the same woman who kept attacking her colleagues. Don''t just make a cowardly surprise, show yourself right now! "It''s cowardly well, it might look like that to your eyes." In the forest, a woman with short white hair and red eyes appeared. The boss of the 5th floor, and the owner of a large base called the psychiatric ward. It was Andrea. It was a monster... Was it? Why did the boss monster go under the human? What does race have to do with following someone? Because I know that the boss has high self-esteem. It just doesn''t make sense to go under a human lower than himself. It''s funny. The very fact that he thinks he''s lower than me. As a player, with the force that leads the boss monsters on each floor. The judgment ability to design a situation and make a general plan is not at the level that falls under the category of human beings. No, no one in the tower would be able to defeat Jinhyuk. For Jinhyuk... It was because he had the strange power to transcend shame and force the outcome of victory. "More than anything else, Jinhyuk saved my life that was to be sacrificed after living a miserable life as a fanatic." He received a favor that he could not repay even if he repaid it throughout his life. There was no need for any other reason for Andria to raise her sword. Wow! Namgungcheon faltered and backed away from the vicious spurt of death. But that, too, was no way out. There is no way out. A low, heavy voice heard from behind. Wolyeong, who activated ''Shadow Kill'', slowly soared from the shadows cast on the trees. The sword light spit out a cold light in his eyes. Moreover, all of a sudden, a large number of masked people surrounded the branches of the trees. white and shade There is no escape from this. Ugh... In the perfectly formed siege, Namgungcheon''s body began to tremble like an aspen. The crime of pointing the sword at the master. And the sin of shaving the master with his dirty mouth. Everyone deserves death. Wol-young''s sword turned forward. At the same time. Andria also held a sharp dagger in reverse. Wait, wait a minute. Let''s negotiate... Let''s talk. Say what you want. Money? Or power? I''ll listen to anything. So please...! Namgungcheon begged for his life urgently. No matter what his pride or what, his mind was filled with only the thought that he had to live. However. I do not need it. I don''t like it. The only thing that came back was a cold refusal. And that''s it. Whoops! Scratch! Ahhhhhh! It was the last of Namgungcheon, who led the Chinese guild and eventually abandoned the Chinese guild. after a few days Jinhyeok and his party were able to arrive at the capital of the empire. It was a really long journey. In particular, it was the most painful to deal with sweet potatoes and Elise''s dreadful eating habits. ''I thought I was familiar with cooking, but I was mistaken. I wonder if the camouflage contains subspace inventory... .'' Jinhyuk, waking up from a terrible nightmare, let out a small sigh. All suffering is now over. A magnificent shadow awaits them who have prevented a great disaster. And to prove it. As Jinhyuk entered the castle gate, great cheers resounded. Wow! Wow! Heroes! Those who saved the Empire! I''m Shadow. Welcome! Thousands of people flocked to see Jinhyuk and the rest of the party along the way. The guards managed to block it, but the heat of the citizens was so hot that it reached a situation where it was almost impossible to control. Is the one in front the hero who captured the Demon Clan? Hmm. Well, the guy in the back looks more like a hero? Doesn''t it just give an estimate just by looking at his appearance? Actually, the person in front of me is so normal. On the other hand, that male knight is like a cold Fragment figure... How could he be like that? It''s a beggar and a prince, haha! The lady in the third row from the right and the uncle in the seventh row from the left. The last little boy who looks about 7 years old. Everyone remembered it wisely. If the security guards visit you sooner or later, think it''s because of what you just said. It was when Jinhyuk was writing his name on the death note inside. Do you care what those people say? Elise, who was next to him, grinned. No at all. I don''t care at all. Just to take a look at your face. We might see you again later. Humans don''t have the eyes to see. I think yours is better than the pretentious swordsman. hoo. Why is this guy saying all the right things? It''s amazing. Do you have anything you want to eat? " it''s not like that no. Yes, buy me something delicious later." Alice smiled bitterly and nodded her head. There''s a lot of hard work, so I''ll make sure you''re full when you go outside the tower. Jinhyuk, who was slightly relieved, began to speak slowly again. Then suddenly... . '' ?'' I felt a strange look in the crowd. Jinhyuk quickly turned his head. However, I couldn''t figure out what the real sense of discomfort was. It was because the slightest gaze was buried in the multitude of people. For a brief moment, the thought of spying on Gandhara''s side crossed his mind, but Jinhyuk quickly erased the possibility. If you were a player, you wouldn''t be able to control your stance so skillfully. Above all else, the aura I felt a while ago was so familiar. Like . Just like the energy I felt from Alice. When I thought about it that far, my whole body became tense. '' Maybe, there is another vampire.'' There is no other way to explain it. There is a high probability that this is Jinjo, not an ordinary vampire. Of course, there is a purpose to target Elise, but rather than that, it is probably ''that'' in the Empire. It must have come to secure... . " " why? No. I think I was a little sensitive. I must have been tired from coming a long way. Jinhyuk spoke again as if it was nothing special. There''s no need to worry about Elise here now. At least not now. After passing through the long shadow procession leading up to the Imperial Palace, the place we arrived at was a splendid audience hall. The people I saw when I came to the Empire were waiting for Jinhyuk. The haggard old man sitting on the throne was the Emperor of the Empire, Reinhard III. And on either side of him stood the Duke of Weinstein and Penheimer. I was waiting. I must have suffered a lot. Powerless lines came out of Reinhardt''s mouth. Still, it''s a lot better than the first time. Unlike at the time when his eyes were dead, losing hope that he could protect the imperial power, there was a faint light in the emperor''s pupils. ''I will make that dream come true soon. Not only for you, but also for me.'' [Gain the trust of the Emperor Reinhard III and lead the Empire on the road to complete prosperity.] [If successful, the third perk for ''the first to conquer the tower'' will be unlocked.] win-win relationship. To get the third perk, you must be on the same ship with the Emperor. ''In that sense, it is necessary to show some etiquette.'' In the original non-gong haengjang, this is the way to get extra points. This is especially true for nobles who like pomp and showiness. Recalling a scene he often saw in movies, Jinhyuk politely knelt down on one knee. I knew it. As expected, a slight smile appeared on the emperor''s face. You are worthy of commendation for your contribution to securing the fortress and building the majesty of the empire from the vicious Demon Clans. Therefore, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you. Finally, the long-awaited reward of the emperor was revealed. Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva. CH 241 . Return of Heroes (2) I will grant you the ''Heavenly Named Stone''. ...! At Reinhardt''s words, an earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk''s pupils. Lung, Your Majesty? Isn''t that thing only the descendants of the imperial family can use? Impossible! This is unacceptable! I agree, too. No matter how heroic they are, that''s absurd! Instead, they all shouted in unison. I''m sorry, but I''ve already made a decision. ...Is that really your Majesty''s will? Weinstein''s eyes narrowed coldly. Yeah... that''s what I mean. Then we can''t do it. It''s Your Majesty''s will, so we''ll follow it, but I hope you won''t regret this. Weinsteln slowly rose from his seat. Then the nobles who followed him also rose from their seats. It was a rude reaction, but at the same time it was proof that the duke''s power had already surpassed the imperial power. ''There is no other thin ice plate.'' but. Everyone had to react like this. The ''Heavenly Named Stone'' is a kind of communication window. Right, where you can chat with the divinity of the upper floors. If you think about getting ''sweet potato'', an ancient species when you meet with the Egyptian divinities... . You can imagine how absurd this reward is. ''That''s great. No, this is absolutely crazy.'' The divinities are so fickle and unpredictable, I''m not sure if they''ll respond. ''If they like them, the price must have been shocking enough to completely destroy the existing balance. Jinhyuk''s eyes were stained with greed. sure. It''s too much of an award for us. We just did what we had to do. The words that came out of his mouth were far from his true feelings. No. Thanks to you, I was able to prevent the harm of innocent people, so I have to do this much. I''m sorry I couldn''t do more. Once again, thank you for the castle. uh My hands and feet are trembling, and thorns are growing in my mouth. Still, you have to take good care of your last facial expression. Because this was the law of adult social life. I have some work to finish, so as soon as it''s finished, I''ll guide you directly to the designated seat. Reinhardt''s eyes turned to one side as if he remembered something. And. Sir Abraham? Yes, Your Majesty. Can you escort me? I don''t think there''s any need for several guards if you have a sergeant. Abraham, the Grand Swordmaster and aide of Weinstein. It was quite surprising that Reinhardt named him. This was because he was not an ally, but could be an enemy at any time. Especially now that the Duke has been outspokenly hostile. I will follow the emperor. Abraham, who looked at Reinhardt and Jinhyuk alternately for a moment, then nodded. a brief break. Jinhyuk was assigned the room he had stayed in last time. After much effort, it is a proper place with soft beds and warm food. Theresa, Cheon Yuseong, and Pesis are in the opposite room, so we can meet again in a little while. Ha. I''m finally getting some rest. I''ll close my eyes a little bit. Alice immediately buried herself in bed. By the way, does that guy think well without washing? Ah! Sister. Me too. I sleep with you. Yeah, come here. Andria dug into Elise''s side. mosquito! At the same time, even the sweet potato rolled around on the bed. Perhaps he liked the soft bed, while making a pleasant rustling sound. Lord, I''m going to check out a man named Abraham. No matter how much he says he is a double agent, there are many places where it is difficult to lower the vigilance. When Andria and Wolyeong, who returned from work with Namgungcheon, joined forces, the room became a very Dotegi market. Everything is fine, please go to another room. There are rooms all over here, so why is everyone coming here and making a fuss? Whoa. A deep sigh escaped Jinhyuk''s mouth. Still, the noisy guys will be quiet for a while, so you can take a look at the items you got from Anthrad. Jinhyuk chururuk 4 items in the subspace inventory. ''Fox Bead''. ''Sword of Flame''. ''1009 Cookbooks for the Bad Eaters''. ''The Fountain of Oblivion''. All of them are high-grade Artifacts with unusual aura. ''1009 Cookbooks for Evil Connoisseurs'' will come in handy when attacking the 15th floor where the Wailing Witch is... . Now it''s time to take a look at the ''Sword of Flame''. hot and The hot energy spread along the fingertips to the top of the head. [Sword of Flame] Acquisition Difficulty: SS Attack: 13,500 Weight: 82kg Durability: 10,000/10,000 Special Effect: Intermediate Demon Clan Antrad''s beloved sword, ''Fire Attribute'' When used with a unique ability or skill, increases damage by 10% for 1 minute. Also increases resistance to all fire attacks by 50% for targets with swords. Amazing, Great. The attack power itself is also huge, and the two options with special effects were even more deceptive. Of course, it specializes in both offense and defense, and it is hard to believe the percentage written on it. ''The only drawback is the weight, but there is a way to solve this anyway.'' You can either solve it through Old Spirit Orun, or you can dispose of it at a high price through Rick. It must have been worth the call, so it was like sitting on a cushion of money. Jinhyuk this time picked up a sparkly marble inside the transparent glass. [Fox Beads] Acquisition Difficulty: SSS Description: A marble that enables hand prints as a model ''Nine-tailed fox'' when worn. The biggest feature is that the appearance changes, and movement speed and various skills are additionally created. (However, the owner cannot be changed, only women can own it.) Abilities optimized for speed. There is only one person that suits this. Andrea. Can you come over here for a second? Yes? I have something to give you. Jinhyuk-nim... to me? Andria quickly got out of bed with her eyes wide open. It looks like a squirrel that hibernates and runs to find sunflower seeds. Grab this with both hands. Yes! When the marble touched Andria''s hand, a bright light erupted. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo [The handprint is complete.] [The power of ''Nine-tailed fox'' is blooming!] Andria''s appearance began to change slowly. Its pierced ears and nine white tails fluttered softly. This is the form of a nine-tailed fox completely recorded in legend. It was a long way from what was described as terrifying, though. Wow... Andria burst into exclamation as if curiously. Beyond simply changing her appearance, the quality of mana flowing out of her body has changed. If you adjust the mana, you''ll be able to put it on and then release it and adjust it. I really... thank you. Jinhyuk-nim. You gave me such a precious thing... You''ve worked hard to do the tasks I''ve asked you to do? You don''t have to feel burdened because it''s given as a reward. It means carrying a lot of pressure. Don''t forget that you will continue to suffer in the future. If you fill in the fetters of grace like this, you will be able to use the power of Andria and the 5th floor to your heart''s content later. great. Now that the fox beads have been resolved, only the long-awaited Hidden Piece remains. Jin-hyeok, who had left Andria, who was so moved by emotion, checked the liquid he was seeing for the first time. [''Eyes of Gluttony'' sees through the target!] [Fountain of Oblivion] Acquisition Difficulty: Unmeasurable Content: Enables ''massive memory manipulation'' for all players around the world and the general public outside the tower. The duration of Distorted Memories depends on the completion level of Well of Oblivion (current completion: 7%). Unbelievable . Not just one person, but the memory of all players in the world and the general public outside the tower can be manipulated at the same time. I didn''t even hear of such an item with a Treasured sword. In an instant, dozens of cases in which this item could be utilized came to mind. It was a treasure of infinite value. ''The rewards obtained this time are nothing to throw away.'' This is enough to be afraid of overflowing fortune. Even if you get hit by a meteorite while walking on the road, you shouldn''t make an unfair sound. However, he did not express his uncontrollable excitement. Because the most important reward still remained. ''Heaven''s Named Stone''. The time to face the higher divinities is not long now. Hidden place of the empire ''Emperor''s Tomb''. This was the place where the successive emperors rested, and it was also a forbidden place that was completely protected by numerous barriers and magic. Jinhyuk looked inside the tomb with eyes full of emotion. The tombs filled with relics each of which were endowed with ''color'' were like seeing each other''s eyes. ''I''ve come a long way, too. Come here and see.'' I prided myself on being the best in the past, but I couldn''t enter this place. Not only did he fail to change the emperor''s mind, but he did not exert as much influence as he does now in the struggle for supremacy in the middle class. ''In the beginning, there was no colleague who could overcome the difficult difficulties together.'' But now it''s different. There were quarrels, but there are people I can trust and work with. what It''s not a bad feeling. Not to walk alone on the road that used to be lonely. ''More than anything else, I can grow beyond the past that I thought was the limit.'' At that fact, my heart started beating with a pleasant sound. at that time. Oh. In Jinhyuk''s eyes, a gorgeous Fragment statue came into view. A marble stone statue of about 2m in size, modeled after an angel. Of course, what really caught my attention. It was the colorful jewels scattered here and there on the fragment. That is the ''named stone in the sky''. It''s a huge item. I can''t see the end of mana... Teresa swallowed her dry saliva. ...it sure is a fun toy. Elise''s eyes also narrowed. This, you see all the rare things. " " Pesis and Cheon Yu-seong also stared intently at the designated stone in the sky, as if it was hard to believe. Since I''ve killed three Demon Clans, I''ll give you three of them. But keep in mind. The nominating stone in the sky is only a medium that allows you to communicate with the higher divinity. To attract their attention, you must have the right qualities. that you should have. Being able to get help from divinity is definitely a huge advantage. However, to the ignorant, they are only a cursed relic that can be ridiculed by the divinities, or even angered in the worst case. I''m a curse? At the word of the curse, Teresa''s expression darkened slightly. No matter how attractive the point of contact with divinity was, it was not a performance that I wanted to get even though I wanted to be cursed. Of course, don''t worry too much. If you are not qualified, you can immediately return the reserved seat to the angel statue. That''s I''m glad. A small sigh could be heard everywhere. There are a total of 37 designated seats remaining. Jinhyuk, who was counting the number of designated seats, slowly opened his mouth. Then Reinhardt''s lips trembled slightly. Just by mentioning the number 37, as if Jinhyuk knew what he was going to say. That''s right. There are exactly 37 left. From the past to the present, there are a total of 38 blood relatives of the Reinhardt family. However, 37 designated seats remain. That''s right. It means that only one person has been recognized by the divinities through the designated seat. Does this mean that none of us deserves to be succeeded in his predecessor''s footsteps? Reinhard I, who ruled the empire. He was the emperor who showed overwhelming force and iron-blooded rule, and he was an absolute person who possessed absolute power that no one had ever surpassed. Because of this he was chosen by the divinities. With the protection of the divinities, he swung his sword for the sake of the Empire''s peace until the end of his life. However, that golden age was too short. This is because, after the invitation, there was not a single person who could continue the authority of the imperial family through a designated seat. So, you were going to give us that precious nomination? Because those who defeated the Demon Clans might be recognized by the divinities through the nominations? Heh heh. You''re quick-witted as well. That''s the reason. You must have made a decision because you had something in mind, but what are the nobles going to do? Obviously, there will be a lot of people who have doubts about the imperial power. The decision the emperor had made a few hours ago was nothing more than providing a cause to officially move the nobles. The forces that were active under the water will reveal their molars in earnest. It''s Hwanggwon... Reinhardt pondered the word slowly. The memories of the lonely emperor flashed through the wrinkles that felt the years. I''m more important to my people living in this empire than anything like that. wanted to keep This empire established by our ancestors. The lives of the people living day by day in the name of peace. I dedicated my whole life for that, and I thought that I would have no regrets even if I burned this one body for that. But, it''s too much for me. Hwang Kwon is just a scarecrow. Already, the Duke of Weinsteln was in possession of the core of tax and national defense, the yolk of power. A few loyalists remained, but that was not enough to turn the tide of war. With each passing day, the gap widened more and more, and I had lost all hope, so I lived in despair in the dark for too long. As you feared, there will be a major uprising soon. Moorim agreed to a truce because he had finished talking with the nobles. You knew... He said he was closing his ears and eyes, but it must have been that he wasn''t completely unaware. Nevertheless, to have done this would mean that Reinhardt made a decision on his own. When I first met you, that was the first thought I had. Hope may not have completely disappeared. And my vague expectations have now turned into certainty. Please, save the Empire. The emperor who lost everything. Please save everything. There was no pretense mixed with the heavy voice of sincerity. I . But that was the moment Jinhyuk was trying to answer. [All barriers are disbanded!] [The defense magic is neutralized!] [Invaders have entered the Emperor''s Tomb!] Red status windows appeared one after another. someone has come into this grave. CH 242 . The weight of the name ''Reinhardt'' (1) This . Jinhyuk''s eyes turned towards the entrance. Many signs were felt. Kang Jinhyuk! Mr. Jinhyuk! Sreung! Chunkyung! Cheon Yu-seong and Teresa each drew their weapons. It was an instinctive realization that those who approach now have no favors at all. Reinhardt bit his lip with a stiff face. and after a while. jerk. Along with the sound of footsteps, many familiar faces appeared. The Duke of Weinsteln and the nobles who followed him. And they were the old-time sword masters and court wizards. All of them are giants who control the real power of the empire. Even those who escorted them there were not formidable. ''I''ve heard that the throne is lonely, but it''s like being on a completely deserted island.'' As Reinhardt said, the realization that the emperor''s power had fallen to the ground was real. In particular, after failing to stop the Demon Clan and helplessly ravaging the border, more nobles joined the Weinsteln side. And. The result is this. It was really hard for you to bother to come here. To destroy barriers and magic circles, and even make court wizards mobilize. A sly smile crept across Weinstelln''s lips. Why are you pretending to be tough? Rather, shouldn''t I be thankful that I came into a secret room perfect for committing a crime? Fufu. Don''t be so sarcastic. You''re still sick and weary. You''ll soon be able to rest in the grave. A cruel statement to kill the emperor. However, no one could stop Weinsteln even after committing treason right before his eyes. It seems that the emperor''s seat has been coveted. If you think that you can really withstand the weight of this crown, you are very much mistaken. No, no. No matter how much I can, I can''t spit the Empire right away. I have the eyes of the neighboring kingdoms, but if I do that, the Empire may be fragmented. A law that takes time and procedure to gain legitimacy. When His Majesty dies, I will push the stupid and prodigal second prince instead of the smart and agile third prince. Of course, I will be the one wielding the real power behind him. And as time goes on, the third prince will also disappear quietly. . Probably, the scenario ''I went hunting and fell out'' would be a good scenario. uhm. It was very well planned. To the extent that I really think, ''If there is a villain, this is it.'' However. "You are beyond your capabilities." Jinhyuk shrugged. what? Your vessel is not enough to contain the emperor. That''s it. I don''t deserve it? I, Weinstelln, the most powerful in the Empire! Weinstelln''s face flushed red, and a blood was placed around his neck. They say you lose if you get angry. This guy starts losing from the beginning. You''re the most powerful person... Foo! You''re the most powerful person in the empire, and you''re proud of having a fight with the Moorim side, too, to drive out the old emperor and take the position of regent? No, if you''re dignified like that in the first place, you can rise to the throne with your skills. , don''t you just lend your hand here and there and don''t know how to do anything? Well, that''s... Weinstein looked like he had been hit in the head with a hammer. However, it was only for a short time. I am the one in charge of everything. All of this is possible because of the existence of me. It''s just that I was lucky enough to be born into a clan. If you were born with a golden spoon in your mouth, it would be a skill. Then, didn''t you try hard even if you tried? Yes, you! Everyone praises you as a hero, so are you really thinking that you are a hero? What are you all doing? Without cutting off that wicked man''s tongue right now! Look. If you''re still so hot, you''ll have to go on your own. Since you don''t have the strength to even lift a sword, you''re just asking someone else to do it. Even if the grandfather next to you throws one circle fireball, the outside will be crispy and the inside will be moist. The same but strong pretense makes even the Demon King stick his tongue out. From Jinhyuk''s mouth, rapid-fire-like abusive words continued. Every single word hits the bone. At the very least, is Cheon Yoo-seong pressing his temples and making an expression that everything is wrong now? As expected, Weinsteln had crab foam in his mouth. this person ! This is the name of a great man in Korea. You have to hit it well to be the source. It was installed in bad taste and died miserably. Kill it! The order was dropped. At the same time. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The wizards who were waiting chanted their spells all at once. My eyesight turned white. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Numerous magic circles spreading through the air. Soon after, the splendid magic raged in a storm. All were high-level magic that consisted only of 5 circles or more. However. [Lv10 ''Primal Flame'' is activated!] A red flame erupted. puff puff! Whoops! The magic was blocked by a wall made of flames and shattered. ''Awesome.'' Seeing Jinhyuk''s newly acquired skill, he swallowed dry saliva. Firepower is ''Element of Fire'' You can''t even compare it to time. In fact, the eyes of the court wizards in front of them were expanding as if they were about to pop out. Unbelievable. To spread such high-ranking magic in a silent spear. Hey, is it a monster? Who is that man? There is no chance of winning in close combat, so I tried to win from a distance. With a single light gesture, the magic prepared with great effort was so easily offset. There is no meaning in low circle magic. To be effective, you''ll need a higher, high circle spear that can pierce the low flame shield. [8-circle multi-chance ''Lightning Spear'' is revealed!] A whopping 8 circle multiple chants. The magic of lightning made by twenty wizards revealed its majesty. Pants! There was a spark that made my eyes dizzy. A huge window about 4 meters long disappeared like lightning. speed and weight. It is a fatal blow that everyone is alive. But. Just before Chang pierced Jinhyuk, a shield made of fire and ice was made in front of Jinhyuk. A colorful pattern that spreads widely around the body. When barriers were added to that, the firmness rose to a level that could exceed circles. Aww! A huge impact sound rang out, but not even a small crack in the shield. Again, the result is the same. The blow of conversion was blocked so easily. Hey, did you stop this too? "Heo Eok. Heo Eok. Ma, mana was all poured out." I can''t believe it. Could it be a polymorphic Dragon...? it''s totally different In this way, no matter how many times it is repeated, only mana is wasted. That was then. You don''t have to be afraid. The fact that you knew your opponent was strong in the first place. Didn''t you bring so many knights and wizards for that? Weinstelln slowly raised his right hand. Then, this time, the knights lined up left and right moved all at once. Sir Abraham. You take on the authorship yourself. With the support of wizards, you will be able to subdue it easily. At Beinstein''s command, Abraham''s body twitched. Undoubtedly... . If a knight who has attained the status of a Grand Sword Master is supported by the high circle wizards, he will be able to unleash power beyond imagination. It was known that this combination alone was enough to hunt Dragons. No matter how much flying and creeping people are, it will be difficult to avoid the hardships. "After all, it seems that we have no choice but to become enemies." Jinhyuk took out ''fangs'' from the subspace inventory. It was because this side had to do everything in its power to fight Abraham. By the way. Even when Abraham saw the fangs, he refused to draw his sword. Instead, he posed a question to the duke. Your Majesty. Do you remember? The question I asked you the first day I was going to be with you. Why are you asking that? Please. I''d like to hear from you before we fight. In the words of his sincerity, Weinstein recalled his past. ...you said you chose me for the future of the empire. For the sake of the future of the empire... I certainly said that. It wasn''t a lie. Sreung! The sword of Abraham was drawn. Swords of glare with cold eyes were scattered across the tomb. However, it wasn''t Jinhyuk that the sword was aimed at. As if protecting Reinhardt, Abraham stood in front of him like a mountain. Are you going to betray me? Come now? I worried a lot on my own. I thought that the empire would be on the road to destruction due to the incompetence and helplessness of the current emperor. However. Now that I am in a corner. The behavior the emperor showed was different from what I thought. Of course, the person named Kang Jin-hyuk played a part in that change. Why did the emperor wake up? The reason why Abraham, one of the greatest powers, betrayed. It''s all because of one person. Really, you''re not helping my life. I''m very nervous like a brain-eating insect. "Isn''t it a sin to be a charmer that changes people''s minds? Knights and wizards alone cannot defeat this member. Even though the numbers were large, the qualitative differences among individuals were wide enough to be incomparable. Most of all, Cheon Yu-seong and Teresa were holding out firmly in the outskirts. The knights clashed with each of seven men, but they did not even dare to pierce them. Certainly, this seems to put us at a disadvantage. As it is now. Weinstein nodded in agreement. But there was no sign of giving up. Like saying it''s not over yet. I''ll have to give it to you guys too. I''ll have to express my sincere gratitude to the Moorim side who even expected this. at the end of that word. I will. It''s good that we came. Another variable intervened. Those who had not yet set foot in the tomb answered Weinstelln''s call. jerk. jerk. What appeared with the sound of footsteps was the strong men who could not be inferior to the rankers of each guild. The most notable among them was the woman in the lead. Nice to meet you. An impressive figure with healthy copper-colored skin and long black hair hanging down to her waist. Even if I didn''t have to say who it was, I could guess the identity of the other person. ''Go... .'' To be precise, the leader who leads Gandhara, ''Nirasha''. Jerrit! Jerrit! A feeling of pressure transmitted through the skin. Even though he was just walking, an illusion arose as if the air inside the tomb was tightened. Is this really the best in India? Killing Belmariel is by no means an exaggeration. Simply, regardless of the quantity and quality of strength or mana . ''different.'' Something is different. And there''s only one way to know what it is. Jinhyuk activated ''Eyes of Gluttony''. By the way. Throb! ! A great pain spread through his eyes. [''Eyes of Gluttony'' failed to see through the target!] [Currently, the subject is receiving the Blessing of ''Mandala (SSS)''] Top grade mandala. The fact that Nirasha has that at this point... . ''It means that the divinity of India is directly protecting you.'' There must be a limit to the system''s constraints, but if you don''t know what divinity it is, there is no chance of winning. Even if Abraham was attached to this side. ''Is there only one way?'' In order to break through that, you have to prepare something suitable for this as well. Jinhyuk''s gaze glanced at the designated seat in the sky behind him. The power of divinity. Only by acquiring that can you defeat Nirasha, or to be more precise, the divinity who is supporting her. While Jinhyuk was shaking his head quickly, Nirasha smiled brightly. You have special eyes. To be honest, I was surprised. It''s the first time I''ve met a player with a higher eye than mine. It''s the first time I''ve ever met a player who has already been supported by divinities. Do you think India''s standards are pretty generous? If you know that, you must also know that a human body cannot stand against God. I''m sorry, but I''m not a fan of giving up very much. Jinhyuk moved his hand slowly. To find a means to buy time. I''ve never been here in person. I remember seeing some of the secrets of this place through literature. It seems that all the main actors have gathered, so let''s start the party now. Jinhyuk grabbed the golden ring next to him. There are still death traps that remain even though the barrier and defense magic have all been stopped by Beinstein. as soon as . kukuku bang! [The trap for the robbers is activated!] these things are CH 243 . The weight of the name ''Reinhardt'' (2) kukuku bang! The whole tomb shook with a roar. As if warning the tomb robbers for their treasure that they would punish them. A cloud of dust fell from the ceiling. Uh-huh! It''s a trap! Avoid everyone! You must move backwards, backwards! Weinstelln''s entourage was terrified and retreated. Puppupuck! Whoops! A crossbow was fired between the wall and the wall. The wizards who were pierced through their bodies spit out blood and died. Gagging! Cool... The damage was beyond imagination because the shield had been enchanted to destroy it professionally. Even the knights with excellent physical abilities barely managed to save their lives. Rumble! Uh huh? Sah, save me. This time, the floor was turned off, and traps with spears sprouting out of them appeared. A trap that runs like a storm. Indeed, you''re the one who put enemies into traps. Well done. Thanks to you, I was able to take a breather. Cheon Yoo-seong tapped Jin-hyuk''s shoulder with a confident face. Taking advantage of the chaos, I was able to obtain the ''Sky Named Stone'', so it can be said that the most important purpose has been achieved. Well. Thanks for the compliment... . This is the entire graveyard. what? We should do our best to avoid it too. Oh, to be precise, there is a secret passage leading out to the end of the tomb, so you can take the emperor and go outside. Damn! What the hell are you planning like this? Hey. Don''t be like that. You just have to avoid traps like that. Take a good look. Jinhyuk moved his head gently to avoid the flying crossbow. One foot, two feet. And one more step. A crossbow that had passed through his body was nailed to the wall opposite him. Poison stingers and spears flew at the same time from under his feet and from the ceiling, but Jinhyuk had already escaped like a loach. It''s very elastic, so it''s rather dangerous if you try to hit it or twist it. It''s best to avoid it like this, but you''ll get used to it after doing it a few times. And the rest of the traps have a 0.13 second gap before they activate. You can use that gap to move quickly. In addition to that, there were about 17 more traps, but if you understand the pattern, you will be able to get to the exit without difficulty. hey To be honest, this is almost like putting a tube in your throat and pushing rice into it. These are some of the things I memorized while fighting a lot of blood, but since I told them about it for free, I''m sure there will be a flood of emotions. Damn it. That''s easy to say. Do you mean avoid everything flying at that speed? " it''s possible because Jinhyuk is the only one." Cheon Yuseong sharpened her molars, and Teresa let out a small sigh. Ttttttt. You didn''t even consider that the old emperor would be able to make such a move, did you? Even Elise clicked her tongue and made a sad expression. I must have chosen the wrong side. I should apologize to the Duke even now. Even Abraham despaired of the choice he had made. ''Well Is it that difficult?'' If you get used to it a little, I think you can do it with your eyes closed... . I don''t know how difficult it is at all. However, I agree with the saying that it is difficult for the emperor even if others do not know. if so. I''ll make a gap with a barrier, so in the meantime, form your formation and get out. Pesis can serve as a guide, so it won''t be too difficult to get out. After weakening the power of the crossbow with a defensive barrier, it protects the emperor from the front, back, left, and right sides. Since there is a pesis that is optimized for finding a way just in time, the risk can be reduced to a minimum. What are you going to do? I have to stay. Sometimes I need someone to take the time to tell me about this. The nobles in the Imperial Palace do not know, but the kings of the rest of the kingdom have no choice but to take this matter seriously. It''s a natural thing. Because that might be their future. And if only I could tell them about this... . You can make a dagger that can shatter Weinsteln''s conspiracy in its entirety. It''s not a bad idea. If it''s that way, we''ll be the ones who can set up a cause. Abraham nodded his head. Damn. With you, I always feel like I''m in the middle of a storm. Cheon Yoo-seong grumbled, but did not object. It was because he himself realized that this was the only way. Take care of yourself. Jinhyuk-san. Don''t worry too much about this. I''ll lead you safely somehow. Theresa and Pesis also added one word at a time. Thanks to you, I was able to dream again. Please, I hope to see you from above. Finally, Reinhardt greeted each other with gratitude and respect. With such a short goodbye. uuung! Jinhyuk opened the barrier. At the same time, everyone left their seats and started running towards the entrance. No, not everyone is like that. Only one. Why don''t you go? Elise stood still next to Jinhyuk, motionless. I think it would be difficult for you to deal with so many people alone. It was not in my plan to lose a contractor like this in vain. It''s a strange word, but you haven''t recovered all of your mana yet. Don''t you think it''s going to be just a burden? There is no need to use force. Even if not, the Imperial forces have a way to solve it on my own line. At least there will be no hindrances. Suddenly, in Ellis'' hand, a sword symbolizing ''Reinhardt'' was held. Isn''t that the sword of the first emperor...? Not for combat, but for ceremonies. Therefore, the sword was nothing more than an ornament to decorate the tomb. Yeah. That''s right. That guy''s sword. Elise swung her sword lightly as if reminiscing on the past. A place swept away by a storm once. Due to the numerous traps, Weinsteln and the nobles suffered tremendous damage. Ugh... Weinstein wiped the blood dripping from his forehead with the back of his hand. It was a mistake for not knowing that there would be a trap that activated in this way. However, it is not yet too late. The opponent must also be sweating to avoid this trap. Even now, you can set up a pursuit team and stop breathing. But right then. Someone appeared in front of Weinstein. It was a white-haired girl who was always attached to the human. I thought you ran away. You''re still here. I hate getting involved in troublesome things more than dying. I think it''s true that I want to sip wine in a soft bed. Your words and actions contradict each other. But, why didn''t you get away with it? Because my contractor wants it. Isn''t that just too futile for a reason for death? Well, if that''s your choice, I hope you won''t regret it. It was when Weinstein was about to give orders to the knights next to him. "Before we begin, may I ask one question?" Hmm. The last question? Okay. I''ll allow that much. Why do you humans try to betray the emperor while emphasizing loyalty and honor so much? That''s a question that''s not even worth answering. Loyalty is something you should do to someone who deserves it. However, the Emperor doesn''t deserve that. It''s strange. At Weinstein''s words, Elise tilted her head. What''s weird? Didn''t your family swore to protect the name ''Reinhardt'' from generation to generation? The first Reinhardt certainly said so. Fuhaha! It''s ridiculous. It''s ridiculous. You''re just making up words like this. It is said that the first emperor has lived for a long time thanks to his overcoming walls and metamorphosis, but he lived long enough to face a young kid like you. it is not. Weinsteln burst into laughter, but Elise did not. I think I''m seriously misunderstanding something... Alice slowly opened her mouth. The kid is the guy who wielded this sword. I. I am the one who saw the first steps of that sword. ''Tersensio. Te Arpem.'' At the short words that flowed out of Alice''s mouth... . The runes engraved on the sword responded. What followed were the light emitted from the sword and the figure of a young man formed by the light. It wasn''t a real thing, it was just an illusion, but the illusion was exuding a presence that was greater than the reality of everyone here. An earthquake occurred in the pupils of the nobles. Hey, this can''t be. Maybe he... no doubt The great emperor who ruled the empire. To be precise, it was the figure of Reinhard I in his youth. Wow, I see your Majesty the Emperor. "The sword was a relic with the image of an emperor." Among the old gods, there were those who remember Reinhardt''s appearance. They were the wise men of the magic tower or the sword masters who jumped over the walls. right then The man wrapped in the beam looked at Elise. It''s a close friend I haven''t seen in a long time. Haha. It would have been really nice if this was my life. It''s just a pity to face this image projected from the past. A sad smile emerged from Reinhardt''s lips. It wasn''t reality, but fragments of my ego only made me smile. Yeah. Me too. Still, seeing you here, it seems that you have escaped from the corridor that bound you. I met a good person. A little bit overlaps with you. That''s a good thing. I''m really glad. Reinhardt and Elise had a quiet conversation. It was a common sight to see everyone exchanging greetings on a daily basis. Those who watched the scene were inevitably shocked by every little conversation. Does that girl really know... the First Emperor''s Majesty? Oh, I can''t believe it. Even as the years passed, all the vassals of the Empire remembered the feats of Reinhard I, the Conqueror. The sword masters and arch mages who were allowed to live for a long time met the emperor in person. Even those who could not meet him in person have learned about the great conqueror through numerous historical books and textbooks. -The first emperor is the empire itself. His will and will take precedence over all laws and regulations. made the impossible possible. The Absolute One who allowed the people of the Empire to live a stable life, who had been living with anxiety every day. It is no exaggeration to say that the present peace and vast territory were all achievements of the first emperor. However, such an clone of the emperor heard the truth from Ellis. Reinhardt''s gaze turned to the nobles. The tower with the six stars is a symbol of the white tower. In fact, it must mean that you belong to the mage family led by Terher. Yes, yes. Terjere was my father. I also had an audience with His Majesty as a child. At Reinhardt''s question, the old man in a robe bowed his head. Then you will remember it too. Hundred Towers swore. I will protect the Empire and the bloodline of Jim. The voice sinks heavily. However, the question was more deeply saddened than reprimanded and rebuked. maybe It was the time when the empire was founded. You must be missing those loyal to you who sacrificed their lives for it. " " Baek Tap-ju bowed his head with a stiff face. It was because there was nothing to say even with ten mouths. Reinhardt''s gaze turned to another man. The red cavalry is a symbol of the Trion family. When the beacon of an enemy invasion of the Empire rises, your flag is the first to appear on the plains of the ecliptic. Is Jim wrong? The first to fight the enemy and the last to retreat. That was the belief of the Trion family, called the Spear of the Empire. ...I''ll meet you. It''s a pity that the tip of the spear is aimed at the imperial family and not the enemy. If Trion had been here, he would have grieved with me. " " The emperor''s voice continued. The nobility who had been pointed out let out a heavy hoarse voice and remained silent. It is true that my descendants are incompetent. It is also true that the future of your family may be darkened by that. However. nevertheless. Your family and your forefathers have sworn. Even when the empire falls and all things return to dust, I will meet my end by the side of me and my descendants. If that fate is in their own words. I will accept even that with a smile. The first owners made an oath. Because he knew it was the way to repay the emperor''s favor. Remember that oath. Reinhardt gave the last order. A deep silence lingered inside the tomb. Knights led by nobles and nobles could not raise their swords and shields. Even the wizards could not sing so they kept their mouths shut. Hey, this... What are you doing? Don''t be swayed by the dead ghost''s words, lift up your sword. Fire magic and wipe them out! But despite the sound of Weinsteln''s flagship, no one moved. The atmosphere is about to get weird. Beyond nervousness, a sense of despair was oozing out on Weinstelln''s face. Nirasha! Don''t delay any longer. Now, by any means, we must overthrow this situation. Otherwise, it will be you who will die for treason. OK. There are a lot of variables in this case. Well, it can''t be done anymore. [''Goddess of Destruction'' smiles.] A terrible storm raged. Mana, imbued with the power of divinity, began to manifest through Nirasha''s body. At the same time. I''m sorry, but you''re not the only one who can reach divinity. Jinhyuk also injected mana into the purple gem. [''Sky Named Stone'' responds.] The upper part of the tower that cannot be seen from here. from that distant place. Someone answered Jinhyuk''s call. CH 244 . higher divinity (1) A red pillar fell from the sky. [Limited ability ''one body'' is activated!] kukukuku! A thick and dark energy flew through Nirasha''s body. God of destruction ''Shiva''. It is a divinity equivalent to India''s Primary God level, and it is one of the strongest divinities that there is no objection to when it comes to attack power. Fufu... Nirasha trembled thinly at the overflowing power. Shiva''s power in her body was only a fraction, but... . The pressure was not at the level that players or residents could endure. Don''t forget. Duke. 10% of all profits from the Empire will be in our Gandhara Guild. And you must keep that ''promise''. No, of course. If this task goes well, would that be a problem? I''ll take responsibility and take care of you more. Make sure to tell the Moorim side about your achievements as well. Weinstein nodded hastily. At a time when everyone was about to turn their backs, only Nirasha and the rankers of Gandhara led by her were the only ones to believe. If you say so... Nirasha smiled and walked forward. Whoops... . Whoops! The ground crumbled with every step. I''ve heard so many things about you that I''ve been nailing my ears. So I really wanted to see you. Press, Media, Community, Viewtube, Hall of Fame. It has been the past year when everything has been covered under the name of Kang Jin-hyuk. It is unavoidable. Because the numerous achievements and dazzling performances that have been accomplished so far have been unparalleled among the players. so it was pissed off He''s so strong too. He must have more talent than anyone else. Why is all the spotlights occupied by that human being? it just pissed me off "But, that''s all. It''s enough for us to climb the tower." The corners of Nirasha''s lips rose upwards. Because I knew that there is a difference between a player who has the power of divinity and a player who doesn''t. Also, because I knew that among all the players that exist today, no one can communicate freely with divinity as much as myself. Nirasha was certain of victory. But at that very moment. A gentle breeze blew through the tomb. [The higher beings answer your call!] In a space dyed with slowed time and achromatic colors. Someone appeared in front of Jinhyuk. He was a handsome man with dark silver hair and golden eyes. Huh? The playful expression on his face showed a lot of interest and curiosity. However, it was only for a short time. You don''t seem to be very surprised by my mana. The man who was staring at Jinhyuk silently tilted his head as if in surprise. I knew you were coming. In the first place, there was only one divinity who could favor me and lend me strength. Hey. As far as I know, I heard you''re more friendly with the Egyptians? I did get to know them, but not enough to say they''re friendly. Even if Horus or Osiris didn''t know, considering Anubis'' treacherous personality, there was absolutely no way he could lend his power. But. There was a divinity that gave Cheon Yoo-seong a condition to wear a maid outfit. At first glance, it seemed like a joke, but Divinity, who has enough power to interfere with the system, must have done a lot to reveal its existence. I did him a favor... Well, you could interpret it that way. It''s true that I''m interested in you. It is a positive reaction. Most divinities quickly lose interest or break promises. This guy is at least willing to keep the conversation going. As you can see, I''m in a bit of trouble. I want you to help me just this one time. Is it a vessel that contains the power of Shiva.... It''s definitely a power that a player can''t face. Of course, it''s worth trying if I go. "You mean you want to help?" no. The man shook his head. You speak as if you know me in detail, but everything you''ve said so far is just a guess. Fragment It''s something only the Seonmu Party do to make up opponents with information. If you want my help, tell me your true name. Then I will help you. indeed. Does it come out like this? It means that the player who hits by chance is not worth helping. I made a connection with you by acquiring the ''Filth-Eating Jar'', one of the relics of the demon world in the mental ward. It''s a good point, but it was close to a mirror where the other side could unilaterally look at this side. Anyway, thanks to that, I was able to create an opportunity to bring it to this place through ''Heaven''s Named Stone''. Divinity, who has the nickname of ''Corrupting Heart'' and suggested that he change his job to his Black Apostle and join him. He once tried to cast a curse to kill him, but failed, and as a result, he became even more interested. Demon King ''Beriel.'' That''s your true name. Jinhyuk slowly opened his mouth. Then a satisfied smile spread across the playful man''s lips. It''s great. As expected, you''re a player I''m interested in. Beliel''s figure slowly disappeared. At the same time. The limitations of time and space that had stopped were beginning to loosen. Nirasha''s body, which was moving forward without hesitation, stopped. creepy A cold, sticky energy spread along the spine to the spinal cord. just now . Something has changed. no way . Nirasha''s voice trembled softly. can''t draw How can such picky and arrogant divinities respond just by calling through ''Heaven''s Named Stone''? It took a lot of effort and time to receive the Blessing of Indian divinity, even for myself, who is rooted in India. But you did it so easily... ? It''s a nonsensical story. However, no matter how much he denied it, the reality did not change. ...a monster-like guy. Wasn''t he at the level of talent? Nirasha stopped on the spot with a very nervous expression on her face. I''m sure there will be other players like you, Nirasha. No, getting the recognition of divinity in one attempt is something that Nirasha-sama couldn''t even do. How could such a person exist? I can''t believe it... The players of the Gandhara Guild who watched, even forgot to breathe. The nobles and knights of the Empire were equally embarrassed. "In my lifetime the day will come when I will see the namesake of the sky react." It''s like a companion to the person who was recognized by His Majesty the First Emperor. Really... I can''t help but admire him. "Are we going to try to make a person like that our enemy?" Admiration led to awe, and that emotion soon resulted in indifference. It is natural. In the face of absurd things, humans had no choice but to watch. right then kukukuku! [Limited ability ''one body'' is activated!] Another ray of light fell from the sky. A stronger and denser energy than that of Nirasha began to encroach on the space. Why? You came forward confidently, and then suddenly curled up your tail? Who... did you mean that he curled his tail? If it were the level of the divinity you brought up anyway, it would be far lower than my divinity. Nirasha took out her trademark, a gold dagger, from her bosom. The golden mist slowly inflated its size. At the same time. Pants! Jinhyuk also brought out the ability to match Demon King''s Blessing. When ''nails that cover the moon'' appeared, black claws appeared along Jinhyuk''s hands. It''s like, those ugly claws reminiscent of beasts. ''A long battle is a group of each other.'' As it is a proxy battle of the higher divinities, it will inevitably be constrained by the system. At the most, exchanging a few sums would be the limit. if so . - Pours power one at a time. - One hit kills him. Two thoughts merged into one. What followed was a conflict that transcended the human realm. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! When the nail and the nail crossed, a huge shock wave was generated. The stone slabs and marbles on the floor were overturned, and the columns supporting the ceiling were broken like millets. Si, spread the shield! damage! Those who were watching from afar tried to raise the shield urgently, but it was difficult to withstand the storm after that. Unfortunately, the barriers supporting the inside of the tomb remain. In other words, the entire crew here would have been buried alive inside the tomb. This isn''t a fight between humans. You have to get farther away. If you get involved, you won''t be able to pick up the bones. It''s such a shock to the 7th Circle Shield. I feel like I''ve been hit with high circle attack magic. Sickness was heard everywhere. I couldn''t believe the fact that I had to risk my life to even look at it. I''m happy though. Everyone looks like they''re going to die, so what''s lucky? Compared to those in that storm... we''re in heaven. If this is the case here, what kind of situation is there? All eyes turned to one place. in the thick smoke. The two monsters were still moving with a terrifying force to take each other''s lives. "It is it is." That''s right. That''s right. Kaga Gaga! Black claws ran through the sides of the golden groove and stretched out to Nirasha. But, just before the toenail digs into the soft flesh, huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A golden curtain spread along Nirasha''s body. ''Mandala''. It is also a unique ability of the highest rank. ! Jinhyuk hurriedly turned on the track. It''s dangerous to get caught up in it. Even if it is only Nirasha, now it is strengthened with ''one body''. [Don''t go out of your way or gossip about it, but attack it properly. That''s why the nickname ''anger control disorder'' won''t cry?] Beliel clicked his tongue. [I was wondering if the foul smell of demon world stung my nose, was it you? Beriel! How dare you say that you have anger control disorder! My nickname is ''blue-necked thunder''!] [Hey, a green tree is a bummer to a guy who destroys all the clans he sees. The color of your chin must have been purging.] [What, what? Such superficial! I should have wiped out all of your Demon Clans in a war a thousand years ago.] [Isn''t that right? And if I drank a ton of alcohol the day before, would I lose to you?] Beliel spoke out like a rapid-fire gun. I don''t know by force, but with words, I''m very one-sided. This guy too... I think it was a Demon King with some weight. It seems that my personality has changed a bit since I started observing myself as ''a pot that eats filth''. However, these words now are not just meaningless jokes. It''s a provocation to distract the opponent''s concentration. [Unfortunately, the level of connection between you and me cannot break that authority.] I know. That''s about it, I knew it from the beginning. Even so, what confronted Nirasha and Shiva . Because I had the confidence to go beyond that. Watch carefully. What is the meaning of seeing the top of the tower? [''The third perk for those who conquered the tower for the first time'' is unlocked!] He had already earned Reinhardt''s perfect trust, so he had two rewards. The first is that one of Reinhardt''s skills, ''Diplomacy'', can be copied. And the second was ''the third privilege for those who conquered the tower for the first time''. ''I checked the contents before the fight started.'' All that was left was waiting. We judge each other''s skill level with the continuous battle. Also, only the moment when they draw a line arbitrarily saying that their level so far is the limit of each other. [ ] Would you like to open it?] A status window appeared. Yes. Jinhyuk nodded his head. CH 245 . higher divinity (2) [Do you want to open the ''Holy Spear Library'' of the divinities?] A sentence with only one line. The first time I saw the third perk for those who conquered the tower for the first time. Jinhyuk had to work hard to calm his beating heart. there''s no choice but to The perks that have been released so far could be called fraudulent, but this is because it was a kind that went beyond that level. Yes. Jinhyuk nodded his head. [The third perk has been released.] [[Unique Holy Spear] - Flame Infusion(ӻ).] -You can reproduce the Flame Infusion version of the unique Holy Spear possessed by higher beings. However, it can only be activated while sharing a mana with a higher being. (The duration of the copied Flame Infusion version depends on skill level, and once used, a unique Holy Spear cannot be used again through a third perk. )] The ''sword of condemnation'' shown when the sweet potato''s body manifested itself. The ''Sacred Chang Library'' feels like a lower version of the universal sharing, but the activation conditions were rather simple. Even if they didn''t maintain a deep bond, it was enough to just share mana. ''It''s a pity that it''s number 1, but it''s the best ability to use as an instant.'' Jinhyuk immediately gathered all the mana. Kukuku! The already dark toenails began to dye even more black. [The rotting heart, Beriel''s ''unique holy lance'' is reproduced.] A bizarrely shaped spear revealed through the claws. A nightmare of absolute judgment that cannot be stopped no matter how hard armor or thick shields are. black spear ''Kishan''. That is, the unique Holy Spear that Beliel possesses. The air changed rapidly. The divinities were the first to realize the strangeness. [That ability... !?] Shiva''s voice resounded low. there is no way to know How could you not know? only a thousand years ago. An ability possessed by the Demon King Beliel during the great war of the divinities. Among the demon spears, the black spear ''Kishan'' is known to be the most vicious. The strength I felt was less than one-tenth of that time, but the fact that that ability was being reproduced through the hands of the player was a shock itself. [you how .] Even Beliel couldn''t hide his embarrassment. Beyond the interesting category, the fearful gaze reached Jinhyuk''s back. However, there is no time to match the reaction of the two guys. Whoops! kwaduduk! Already, cracks are forming on Kishan''s spear blade. it is collapsing Because even the Flame Infusion version contains a very powerful mana. ''You only get one chance.'' Jinhyuk grabbed the spear and broke it. At this rate, it was not easy to even hold Kishan for 30 seconds. Moment. Pants... . The illusion of air being compressed arose. Shrugged shoulders and compressed mana. The silence that seems to be suffocating is by no means an illusion. On top of the black energy that had gathered along the tip of the spear to the limit, barriers engraved with ancient runes began to rise. ''Accelerate'' and ''Hold'' And they were runes meaning ''penetration''. " ????!" Nirasha reconstructed the golden curtain she made a while ago through the mandala. And when it''s good to be almost at the same time. kwaang! Jinhyuk threw a half-broken ''Kishan''. Lightness without feeling the mass. But more surprising than speed was the ability of the spear. [No mandalas! You must avoid it!] Shiva shouted, but the spear had already dug into the mandala''s outer wall. Uh, how!? Nirasha hastily raised mana to the maximum. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! One ply, two ply, and three ply. Complex formulas and overlapping divine powers were all smashed. The last barrier that was reached was the core that boasted the most robustness among the mandala. Dangerous. The moment she judged that, Nirasha released her unique ability. [[The Feast of the Thousand Years] The ''extreme mandala'' is blooming!] Twelve petals reminiscent of lotus flowers were scattered. As if resisting the darkness spreading from the tip of the spear, the supreme mandala in full bloom radiated golden brilliance. kukukuku! The clash between mana and mana beyond imagination. The entire tomb vibrated violently. Nirasha''s legs, unable to bear the weight, slowly dug into the ground. It''s like this... just like this...! Nirasha bit her molars. The granddaughter of India''s largest conglomerate family. It was he who preempted the information on the Tower of Trials based on his enormous capital. The day the Tower of Trials first appeared. It was said that he was the one who monopolized the replicas soaked in the mana that flowed out of the tower! ''There is no one stronger than me.'' He liked the divinities, so he was sure that he had both the best route and the strongest power. However. '' pushed.'' Break! kwaduduk! The lotus is broken. The opponent''s spear was also disintegrating to the extent that it was visible, but the mandala was falling faster than that. [Absolute verdict ''Breath of Corruption'' erodes the target.] The lotus was stained with the sword. A spear to break through and a shield to block. The match was split at this moment. Whoops! A spear, half-baked, pierced Nirasha''s ship. A handful of blood spewed out with a terrifying sound of breaking. Girl... Nirasha''s body was broken by a fighter. no . misunderstood that it happened. Until the form of Nirasha, pierced by the spear, fades away. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. "It''s pretty good. It means that we have reached the point where we can synchronize the Geumgangjeo and the Ultimate Mandala." I thought I could embody the spirit world through mandalas. Indeed, he is a player who fully pushes the Indian side. sure. Since he used his ability to distort the space to this extent, the aftermath was inevitably strong. Heh heh... heh heh heh heh. From a few meters away, Nirasha let out a rough breath. His face, dripping with cold sweat, was contorted with anger and shame. The ''extreme mandala'', which I thought was the strongest shield, couldn''t last even a few seconds. It was as if he never dreamed he would lose. [You have transcended human limits... . Beliel, how did you get your hands on such a monster?] [I thought I was such a monster... nope, hum. did you see The level of players promoted by the demon world is about this level. That guy is a guy I especially love.] From the mouths of the divinities, exclamations of disbelief burst out. Drinking kimchi soup on my own was amazing, but the important thing now is to finish the battle. You look very difficult. How are you going to continue? There was a high probability of self-destruction if the mana was forcibly operated while the whole body was overloaded. A phenomenon commonly called QiGong Deviation in Moorim. It wouldn''t be very pleasant to see the Chilgong sprinkling blood while losing his temper. Nirasha knew that too, so she couldn''t dare to dumb it down anymore. ...it seems like you won this battle. Nirasha clicked her tongue briefly as if she had resigned. It''s a wise decision. I don''t want to lose my strength in a fight when the winner is decided. The top priority was not Nirasha, and it was unreasonable to deal with all the rankers of the Gandhara Guild alone. It''s pretending to be relaxed, but it was the same with this one who used the power that went beyond the limit. It was Weinstelln who became impatient when things took a strange turn. Ni, Nirasha! Quitting. What do you mean? We... didn''t make a deal? Are you going to give it up? I really want that item, but it''s not more important than my life. It''s a chance anyway, I''ll see you later. "I can''t wait. Wait a minute." Weinstein hurriedly reached out, but Nirasha had already made up her mind. We lost today. To be honest, I didn''t expect it to be this clean. When it comes to the Empire, I can''t help but let things go your way. Nirasha raised a white flag. with it... . The battle at the tomb has come to an end. . At least for now. The rebellion raised by the nobles ended in one day. The first Reinhardt''s remarks posed a big question to the nobles who only wanted to take care of themselves. Most of them had no choice but to lose their will to be ashamed of themselves. A case that was completed in an instant. Reinhard III pardoned most of the nobles, saying he was also responsible for the rebellion. This is because, as the invitation said, it was more important to prosper the empire and protect the safety of the people than to anger and hurt. Of course, not everyone was eligible for such mercy. "Hey, these I know who I dare to be! Let go. Let go! I am Beinstelln, Duke of the Empire. Aww!" Ji, please save me! We just did what the author told us. So please! That''s right. It''s all made up by the Duke... that fucking traitor. Hey, these? What are these? Didn''t you try to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor with your serpentine tongue? Weinstein, the instigator of the rebellion, and the high-ranking nobles wriggled their captive bodies like earthworms. They blamed each other and tried their best to somehow save their own lives. But he wasn''t the executioner to listen to such excuses. A rough hand pushed a fat nobleman into the mold. Chunkyung! no . Druck... kwaang! I can''t, my dear...! As the guillotine descended one by one, the sound of begging for lives disappeared more and more. When the wounds of the rebellion had been healed to some extent, Reinhardt held a grand party in the name of unity and consolation. All expenses for the party were covered by funds confiscated from the Duke of Weinsteln. A large banquet hall where hundreds of nobles dazzled. Hahaha. Ho ho ho. The sound of laughter and chatter filled the interior. right then Keuheum! Big! Sincerely honored for the opportunity to introduce the heroes saved the empire to the guests, as Primary God! With the sound of the old butler clearing his throat. The door on the second floor was wide open. This is Miss Ellis von Ataraxia! This is Miss Teresa de Laurencia! This is Miss Andria! At the call of the old butler, three women started walking down the stairs to the banquet hall. In an instant, everyone in the banquet hall stopped breathing. Peripheral nerves worn out by countless banquets and social gatherings. Nothing could satisfy their standards. Not to mention, my opponents are heroes, so I was invited here for a while. Aren''t they the ones who came from outside the tower or stayed on the lower floors? There is no way for them who are not nobles to have such elegance or dignity. Because of that, they were sure that they would have the upper hand when it came to socializing, even if they didn''t know about combat. However. Such high-spirited pride is shattered at this moment. Ugh!? The strangers from outside the tower look more noble than the girls of some noble family... It can''t be that beautiful... Dresses and accessories with different concepts. However, the decoration that fits the individual so well is more than enough to arouse admiration from the beholder. As if three goddesses had gone out on earth, the three took their first steps into the social world with so much dignity. "Next, Jinhyuk Kang and Yoosung Cheon will enter!" The appearance of Jinhyeok and Cheon Yuseong followed by another spectacular scene. Huh. I don''t like this because it''s frustrating. Do you think you''re comfortable with it? Do medical students often hold parties like this? Keep your weight in a formal position. If you keep your mouth shut, you''ll look okay. Is that a compliment? "It means to pay a little more for your face." Cheon Yoo-seong has a flawless appearance in itself, so it was natural for her clothes to fade. Jinhyuk, who was well decorated for a long time, also attracted everyone''s attention. Oh my gosh... How. Oh my. Just looking at it makes my eyes happy. Hoho. The girls of the noble family glanced at the two of them. A neat all-back haircut and a luxurious black robe. There was nothing to say other than that a dress that pursues harmony and balance is perfect. It was after a few dozen minutes that the two of them, who had been in the spotlight for a long time, were able to catch their breath. In a noisy banquet hall. receive. Jinhyuk handed him a glass of wine on the table. At the same time, he lowered his voice. In this kind of atmosphere, it would be okay to talk slowly. Don''t react. Just listen quietly. There may be someone who is eavesdropping even if the barrier is open. What I have to say from now on is a story that should never be known to the guy up there. Especially considering that he''s more demanding than Shiva or Beliel. CH 246 . Grand Banquet for Heroes What do you mean? Cheon Yu-seong''s eyebrows were curved in an inverted manner. If it''s the ones above, it''s probably referring to beings equivalent to divinity. I didn''t understand what it meant to be unknown to them. Remember Anthrad, an intermediate Demon Clan? It''s the skull ripper that turned the fortress into a wasteland. Yeah. That guy. I remember it was a pretty powerful Demon Clan. But what does that have to do with the guys upstairs? To summon that Demon Clan, you need to collect the cursed relics. However, their relics weren''t perfect enough to manifest Anthrad. The location wasn''t right either. Compared to the poor conditions, an absurdly strong one came out. It also has quite a lot of body power. And. This meant only one thing. "Someone helped me with a transcendent power Is this what you mean?" That''s right. And that''s not what divinities can do. There''s no reason to. Demon Clans like to run rampant, but they don''t like to run rampant until they forcefully intervene in the system. In fact, the same goes for anyone. Because there is much more to lose than gain. It was the manager who helped the demons. It probably also touches a very high line. Maybe it''s the highest place. Jinhyuk looked at the night sky reflected in the window. The upper floor of the tower that cannot be seen from here. There will be Absolutes who contemplate everything under the tower. "A senior manager is involved." Cheon Yoosung''s face hardened. Because this word meant too heavy. And because I knew that the higher the tower, the higher the risk would be. The blood in his veins could only feel cold. "What should we do next?" Okay. First of all, you should enjoy your day. what? Did you come to the middle floor and fight like crazy? Even in the fortress, before you could even rest properly, the demons interfered with you. Now it''s enough just to recognize that there is someone trying to hit the back of the head. You''re talking as if there''s a way. I have a few in mind. I''ll have to go see if it works. Anyway, your confidence is ridiculous no matter what. The opponent is a senior manager. In the same position as the divinities, it is the Overmind that governs all things related to the Tower. But what is it? Is this confidence? "Still I don''t know why, but with you, I feel like I can somehow get out of the worst situation." eating. Cheon Yoosung laughed for the first time. It was a smile that warmed my heart. I take care of the welfare of the employees for sure. So don''t worry too much. Even if others don''t know, I''ll definitely protect my people. Yeah. It wouldn''t hurt to enjoy the day as you said. Isn''t it the deceased in front of you who has been able to solve all the things that you thought were impossible until now? This time, there must have been something to come up with. Because that was the player Jinhyuk he knew. That was then. Ugh. I thought I was going to die because I was so annoyed. Alice approached with a tired face. Next to them were Teresa and Andria. What''s going on? The strange bastards like to flirt and dance, or go to the lake for a night out. There were some people who casually said, Cheers... to your eyes. Elise and Teresa let out a long sigh as they recalled the terrible moments. I didn''t realize it because I was too busy talking with Cheon Yoo-seong, but it seems like he had a pretty tough time in his own way. Hehe. That''s because the unnies are so pretty. Andrea laughed softly. uhm. Obviously, if it''s just the two of them now, the nobles would be fussed. In contrast to the silver-haired Elise in a black dress, Teresa, who had blonde hair in a white dress, stood out no matter where she put it. There was Ellis and Andria, who looked like her sister, so it was only natural for her to be like this for four months. Still, you''ve come through so many people. Well, you gave Tyler a good word. In words? Yeah. Words. uh... . How hard it is to believe Can''t you imagine that this guy refused with a friendly tone? Then Andria brought the truth to Jinhyuk''s ear. "Alice unnie spoke loudly, but to be precise Teresa unnie freed the ''energy''." ...! Maybe, I wrote ''Corruption''. Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva. If it was Teresa who had turned black, it would have been difficult for ordinary people to bear the energy. ''To be honest, the black version is too burdensome for me.'' When I imagined the two noble queens scattering terrifying energy, goosebumps arose all over my body. after a while. Ah! Everyone was gathered. We wanted to have a drink together, but there were so many accumulated tasks. It was quite difficult to find the main characters of the banquet because they were in the most remote places. When Abraham and Pesis joined, all the personnel except for Wolyeong, who was hiding in the shadows, gathered. in a comfortable atmosphere. Fine wine and delicious snacks added flavor to the conversation. I''ve been so hectic all this time, so the present moment felt sweeter. When the atmosphere had matured to a certain extent, Ebraham, who was drunk, spoke to Jinhyuk. I gave up everything else for the cause of the existence of the empire. I thought that it was enough if I could protect the framework of the empire no matter how much I sacrificed. However, you have achieved incomparable achievements with me. made it. Words with complicated feelings... . It was filled with gratitude, regret, and a sense of self-doubt. At the same time. Sreung! The ceremonial rapier worn around the waist was chosen. It''s the Empire''s unique courtesy to the beneficiaries. I received a favor that I could not repay even if I repaid my whole life. It also made me realize the pride and pride I had lost over the years. Jinhyuk was a hero and benefactor of the empire. [Ebraham activates ''Knight''s Faith''.] In an instant, a warm energy enveloped the inside of the banquet hall. Golden petals embodied by qi began to fall one by one from the ceiling. It is a beautiful sight. But what was even more surprising was the sound that suddenly disappeared. The sound of chatting. The inside scene where the sound of the musical instruments of the troupe had all stopped. The nobles bowed and bowed their heads. The magic tower master leading the white tower and the knights leading the red cavalry. The guards protecting the imperial family and the heads of many famous families. Everyone expressed their gratitude in their own way. Reinhardt on the central podium also looked at Jinhyuk with eyes full of emotion. [The Empire grants you the title of Honor.] [''Citadel of Giants'' will be upgraded to the status of ''Principality'', which guarantees independence from the Empire!] [You have accomplished an astonishing achievement.] [This work will be inducted into the ''Hall of Fame'' tomorrow.] Status windows appeared one after another. ''The Duchy on the title of honor... to give you a position.'' For the Empire, which is a strict class-based society, it was an unprecedented reward. While Jinhyuk was perplexed, this time Pesis slowly opened his mouth. I also found this event very interesting. Goin Corporation. An emerging force made up only of prominent members. If there is a power that is being talked about the most in the current tower, this is it. so that. I''m really looking forward to the next steps. It will probably establish itself as a force that can bring a great storm to the tower. Just being able to see its legendary beginning is well worth coming here. [Phesis''s favorability has risen to a very high degree.] The sensitivity of Pesis rose. I was attending a banquet with the intention of relaxing and eating something delicious... . ''This is unexpected rewards keep pouring in.'' Once again, I thought that calling the first Reinhardt was a godsend. His speech made it possible for the nobles to reflect on their mistakes. And when he saw Elise who made it possible, he had a happy smile involuntarily. Why are you smiling badly? Alice opened her rabbit eyes. No, it''s just. It''s unique. After all, I thought that I didn''t get the seat of Ataraxia''s head for free. Huh. Now you know my true worth. I am now like this. In the past, everyone was a vampire who stood in line to walk at least once. Yeah. Jinhyuk adjusted Elise''s rhythm and stroked her hair. Ah. Come to think of it, what did you mean in the grave? Huh? Te... Was it Sencio te Arpem? There''s a spell you used to summon the invitation. It sounds like an imperial language, but I didn''t study it separately because it didn''t seem to be of much use. It must have been that he barely understood the word empire. Ah... that? Alice waved her hand as if it was nothing. Only those who inherit the blood of the imperial family can protect the empire. What does this mean? It was a crazy word for a childish subject. ...hmm. He was a pretty cool guy. The guy called the first emperor. It wasn''t bad. It wasn''t just a mouthful. I have a question, can I ask one more question? Ask? Isn''t that the reason he died because you drained all your blood? A Grand Sword Master would be able to live over 200 years old, but I think that his lifespan was rather short. Maybe the culprit is because of this vampire... . Alice wore a bright smile. Oh my God. For some reason, I think that''s going to be your sign tonight. cold sinking air. It is a night when the fangs are particularly sharp. The banquet, which continued until dawn, was over. Everyone went back to their dorms, feeling drunk and full. For this day, the tension was loosened as if to forget all fatigue. right then Tuk... tuk. Jinhyuk carefully woke Pesis from his deep sleep. Um, huh... Ji, Jinhyuk-nim? What are you doing at this hour? Pesis got up from his seat, horrified. Jinhyeok with an ominous smile appeared at the bedside, so it has to be. If it had been a heavenly planet instead of a phesis, he might have drawn his sword on the spot. Jinhyuk lowered his voice. From now on, please go for a little walk with me. There is a place I really want to go to. Yes? A walk? In the middle of the night? Where is the place you want to go...? Pesis made a face that said what kind of steer was that. I want to go to the tomb of the emperor I went to before, once again. Woah, the emperor''s tomb? No, why do you want to go back there? "There are things I must have, but I haven''t been able to bring them with me because I was too busy before." "I mean, you don''t mean to steal, are you?" Uh-huh. It''s a robbery! What the hell do you see me as! At Jinhyuk''s anger-like remarks, Pesis''s face turned red. I''m sorry. Well, Jinhyuk, who is now the Grand Duke of the Principality, will do something like that... Could you call it a long-term rental? Yes? It was an unavoidable decision due to the international situation and resource conflicts. Pesis wanted to ask what nonsense it was, but instinctively realized that he had already fallen into a swamp he couldn''t get out of. Raising the likeability also played a strong role in resigning. Huh. If you tell the imperial family, they''ll just give it to you, wouldn''t it be better to just ask? If anything, I''ll do the same, but this isn''t something of that level. Above all, the current emperor probably doesn''t know how to get there. "The fact that even the emperor doesn''t know is it?" An earthquake occurred in Pesis'' pupil. Yes. I thought Pesis would know. Because there was only one person in the tower who could earn the nickname of a great explorer no matter what. "You must have heard of Pesis-san at least once? The Dragon Killer Sword that sleeps in the Empire." How about the rumors about ''Balmung''? CH 247 . Dragon Kill Sword ''Football'' (One) There is also a class in the relics classified as the highest among the existing items. That''s natural. Because the sword used by an unknown general who is not recorded in a few lines in history and the hammer of Thor, the great hero in Norse mythology, could not be treated as the same class. Because of this, in the Tower of Trials, there are four, main, no, second, wave, male and bo. The grade of the relic was measured by dividing the seven colors. And. The Dragon Killer Sword, ''Balmung'', stored under the Empire. This great sword was a top-notch relic that was judged as ''indigo blue''. ''To deal with the dragon tribe. And in order to fight them, we must secure it.'' Of course, there were a few tasks that had to be done before that. "We will leave in 30 minutes." Jinhyuk started the timer. It''s only 30 minutes... that''ll be enough to complete the preparations I need to explore. Then, I''ll see you at the grave then. Of course, there will be guards and guards on the way to the tomb. It was too easy for the two of them to get away from ordinary soldiers. Jinhyuk, who came out of Pesis''s room, headed to the terrace where he could see the lake and the night view of Hwangdo. It is not only crowded, but it is also a perfect place to enjoy the scenery. Dawn in silence. The lake filled with stars and the moon seemed to make me forget all my worries and worries. " " As I always think, the Tower of Trials has many attractions. It was good to immerse myself in contemplation. It was also optimized for conversation without worrying about eavesdropping. I know you''re watching, so why don''t you come out soon? Jinhyuk muttered toward the air. OK. [Oh. The players wouldn''t be able to peek beyond the barrier, how did they notice my presence?] Beriel spoke to me. Because of your personality, it''s unlikely that you''ll disappear without giving me help. At least, I thought you were stalking me in a sneaky way. Again, you were right. [It''s the first time I''ve seen a person so casual towards me. This is so... It''s only our side that''s blind. how about To be my black apostle? If it were you, I could pour my all into making you a perfect apostle. Other than that, if you want anything else, I can make it come true.] I know I''ve already rejected that once, don''t you remember? Did you say that a tiger cub can''t go under a Chihuahua? Thank you for your help, but I have no intention of selling my soul for that. Of course, that didn''t mean I was going to get rid of it completely. Being acquainted with a higher divinity was very helpful in many ways. [Hmm. Is it still a harsh answer? It would be good to think well. ''Cause the other Demon Kings don''t think you well. Rather, I feel it is a threat that needs to be removed quickly.] yes it is It was expected that the Demon Kings and Demon Clans would be grinding their teeth. so . Can''t we just keep a good relationship with you? If so, I think it''s worth trying to some extent against the rest of the Demon Kings. [If you become my apostle, I don''t know. You, who only get profits and pretend not to know... Why do I have to help in the future?] That''s right, I know where the ''crown'' in the demon world is and how to get it. I know everything. Jinhyuk spoke calmly. and in that statement. Beliel''s hoarse voice disappeared like a lie. Silence continued. It was only a few seconds in real time, but it felt like eternity. [you What is it? How does a player know about one of the tower''s deepest secrets, the crown''s existence? No, you know the location more than that?] The emotion emanating from his voice was undoubtedly an embarrassment. yea that''s the way it is The crown is a sacred relic that is absolutely necessary to challenge the top of the tower, and at the same time is a token that symbolizes the domination of the top floor. The divinities, as well as the Demon King and the Jinjos, are desperate to get this crown. But does one player know that? It was too low quality to even be called a joke. So much so that it''s hard to even use it at a drinking party. what if. If it wasn''t for Jinhyuk who said this, he would have thought this was nonsense that didn''t deserve to be heard. "Don''t think of me as an ordinary player. Have you already forgotten? I am the one who reproduced your own voice spear. Above all, it is worth considering my proposal seriously when you know the existence of the crown itself. there is. The authenticity of the information does not matter right now. It''s not too late to figure out the truth, even if you do it slowly later. The important thing now was that this attractive bait was not known to other Demon Kings. If it''s a lie, that''s all you need to pay for it later. If true, it would be possible to obtain the crown from an overwhelmingly advantageous position. Low risk high return. The worries didn''t last long. [Fu ha ha! That''s fun! fun! Yes. This is the kind of person I recognized. good. Let it match your rhythm.] Beliel burst out laughing as if he was genuinely happy. After chatting with Beriel. Jinhyuk and Pesis once again visited the emperor''s grave, where they had a fierce battle. What are you going to do now? Please wait here for a moment. Jinhyuk slowly looked at the gap on the floor. The vision was skillfully obscured by the shadows of the statues on both sides... . If you look closely, there was a groove the size of a half a grain of rice. ''Is this the starting point?'' one first. Next was probably the left? Jinhyuk quickly began to scan his surroundings. Columns and walls in minutes. Also, grooves were found between fragments. 6 numbers in total. [Lv10 ''Primal Flame'' is activated.] As the flames connected the grooves in a straight line, a giant hexahedron appeared. At the same time. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Red letters began to appear on the surface. It was the language of the royal family that only appeared when heat was applied at the correct temperature. " " Pesis looked at Jinhyuk as if he was stunned. I couldn''t help but be embarrassed because I found the entrance to a passage that even the imperial family did not know. Pesis also saw information about the entrance in ancient texts, but was not confident to open the door so quickly. But, you can''t go down here just by finding the entrance. I need a key... It''s a proof that can prove Reinhardt. blood or saliva, etc. Only by proving Reinhardt''s blood was the entrance to be opened. you''re right. That''s what I brought, of course. Jinhyuk took out a golden wine glass from the subspace inventory. A few hours ago, at the grand banquet, I slipped what the emperor was drinking. When I was drunk enough, I exchanged the cup Cheon Yoo-seong had, so even if the culprit is caught, the subject of blasphemy will be Cheon Yoo-seong. Besides, I had Wol-young do the swap, so his alibi was perfect. ''Perfect crime is not impossible.'' It''s just a lack of effort. It was a shining moment when I was in the midst of being in the midst of watching CSI. Shh! Jinhyuk aligns the surface of the glass with the groove. Then at that very moment. kukuku bang! A low, heavy voice resounded through the tomb. The floor began to crack like a Tetris, and soon enough space was created for one person to fit in. [Hidden Place ''Where the Dragon slept'' is open.] Then, shall we go? Jinhyuk smiled brightly at Pesis with a blank expression. A stinky, damp smell pierced his nostrils. The interior was filled with cobwebs and dust, as there had been no human entry for so long. From now on, I need Mr. Pesis''s help. What was recorded in the literature was only about how to open the entrance. In order to break through the numerous traps inside, you need the ability of Explorer Pesis. I''ll try it for now, but it''s the first time I''ve ever been to an expedition with such a high level. Really. Thanks to Jinhyuk-nim, I''m getting a lot of different experiences. Are you saying that''s good? Of course. Very explorer''s blood boils. Whoops. [Pesis pulls out Lv16, ''Multidimensional Map''.] Pesis of the recalled face pulled out a translucent map. Various traps were marked by color on the 3D map containing the overall appearance of the interior. A red model in the shape of a flame and The black sphere also looks pretty dangerous. The blue ice crystal shape is probably a trap related to the ice property? When viewed from the side, I had no idea how the trap was activated and how to avoid it. ...It''s definitely difficult. It doesn''t look like it''s going to be easy wherever you go. Pesis looked at the map with a serious face. If Pesis, who has explored numerous bans so far, can say this, it seems that the difficulty level here is definitely out of the standard. Well, I guess that''s why I kept my feet. But wouldn''t there be a place with the highest potential? "There is one, but " Pesis frowned. Is there something wrong? Some traps require someone to be caught in the trap while one is passing through. It''s a structure that''s impossible to avoid or block. "I need a scapegoat that''s what I mean." Yes . For now, let''s go get a Treasured sword. If that''s the case, there seems to be a way to solve it somehow. At Jinhyuk''s words, Pesis flinched. If it''s the personality Jinhyuk has shown in the past few days, it''s because there''s a good chance he''ll make himself a victim. But, I couldn''t get those words out of my mouth. How long did you walk along the tangled passage along the pesis? The air that was circling in the passage changed. A cool sensation passed through the skin. This point coincides with the ice crystal shape you saw on the map. This was the limit to avoid the trap. Now, take a look. Pesis picked up a small stone and threw it forward. The moment when a stone drawing a parabola passed a certain part in the air. Fragile! Thin ice streams from both sides froze the entire stone. The freezing speed was also the speed, but what was even more shocking was that the ice stream moved along the path of the stone. "Hey. Tracking magic and acceleration and enhancement magic are also on it. It''s all at the level of 8 circles or more." You''ve noticed, too. There''s even a special effect that accelerates the freezing rate if you try to block it with your unique abilities and skills. In a word, it means that it is close to impossible to pass through the normal method. But no need to worry. Because I had something prepared for a time like this. Everyone, come out for a second. Jinhyuk opened the subspace inventory and summoned a number of summons. T-Bone and the ancient soldiers appeared first. moon crack. moon crack. The bones were constantly moving left and right. Master. What''s going on? T-Bone raised a question mark. It''s not a big deal. They say you need to break through the trap, but you need a body bread. Yes? Your undead. Yeah, that''s right. Then I won''t die. There is no more perfect scapegoat. Even if it freezes, if you melt it slowly later, it will resurrect quickly. No, Master... no matter what. To go through that road barefoot... Huh? Jinhyuk''s eyebrows curve backwards at T-Bone''s whining. Have you been less disciplined these days? When you give a command, you have to listen to it. This is why I hate it, that is scary, and I vomit too much. It''s not really the Tang army, and this is something. Sweet potato. Aren''t you going to educate your children straight away? Jinhyuk''s eyes turned to the sweet potato that came out late. mosquito? The large amber eyes fluttered slightly. The sweet potato, who suddenly became upset, made a face of regret. My heart was pounding, but I couldn''t help it. In the beginning, things like this had to go smoothly only when they were at the top. aka go down. In the subspace inventory, the sweet potato is at the top of the list. Mosquito. Mosquito! The sweet potato bit the T-bone. filth filth. Clear saliva flowed down the white bones. Hey! T-Bone struggled, but could not escape from the sweet potato. Would you like to be a bone snack as it is? Or will you rush forward? Come on, I''ll go. Master. I can tolerate the cold remarkably well again. Dalgrak. Moongrak! T-Bone and the ancient soldiers quarreled and ran forward. CH 248 . Dragon Kill Sword ''Football'' (2) ''Hey, let''s explore like this... It will be.'' Pesis looked at the scene unfolding in front of her eyes, and denied reality over and over again. I had no choice but to do so. Because this was a disaster that was far from the existing heart-pounding adventures. Hey profit! Sa, save me! Oh, Master, I was hit by a bone. I mean, really, by a bone! T-Bone and the ancient soldiers were completely frozen or burned to the point of getting used to it. When the body was broken in half, the process of restoring it with mana and putting it back into the next trap was repeated. But the shock didn''t end there. As high-grade traps that are difficult to handle as undead appeared, Jinhyuk brought out new summons this time. They were the spirit beasts of the five elements that spirit masters dreamed of. Oh... Oh! Did you even sign a contract with the spirit beasts? Pesis''s voice rose an octave. A spirit beast that is rarely seen. It was a very rare scene for all the spirit beasts of the five elements to gather in one place. Ah. These guys? Yeah. I know that they do not make contracts with humans, but it''s the first time I''ve seen a player with five contracts. It''s hard to find someone with such a high affinity among residents. It''s not that I''ll give you a taste of hell if you betray me... It''s not that they open the door to everyone''s heart with warm love and sincerity. Isn''t it, guys? Jinhyuk smiled brightly. When everyone hesitated, Jinhyuk smiled even deeper. Why is my reply so late. Maybe I''m wrong? Uh huh. We have the best owner in the world. I think it''s better since we met after a long time. I''ve been wanting to meet you for a long time if possible... The spirit beasts who met their gazes trembled thinly. As if to tell you what a learned fear is. Did you see it? Everyone''s happy, right? ...that''s right. Then, please guide me again. I''ll have to hurry if I want to go back before the sun rises. Jinhyuk hummed and moved his steps. Numerous traps appeared after that, but thanks to the guidance of Pesis and the activities of the summons, they managed to escape. How many hours have passed? The place we arrived at after going through the rough road was a large hollow with clear holes in all directions. He couldn''t see even an inch ahead due to the huge abyss of unknown size. However, '' is passed on.'' The mana of the dragon killing sword that was active in the myth stimulated the whole body. pounding! pounding! pounding! Jinhyuk''s heart was beating rapidly. If you break through the last step, you can finally get a new sword. Whoops! Dozens of ''primordial flames'' flickered, and the great common darkness began to dissipate. The first thing that caught my eye was a skeleton that reached several tens of meters. Demonic Dragon ''Fafnir''. The corpse of the Dragon, which had been suffocated by Siegfried, was seen. And in the middle of it was a sword that still did not lose its anticipation despite the passing of many years. ''It''s been a while since I''ve seen you again.'' That''s Balmung, the dragon killing sword that cut down the Dragon. I wanted to run right away, but the poison flowing around Fafnir''s body was unusual. Blinded by the sword, he approaches without knowing it, and before he takes a few steps, he will turn into blood. You''re finally here. Jinhyuk muttered with eyes full of anticipation. As soon as I looked at the sword, I could feel the pain I had suffered for the past few hours melted as if washed away. The most difficult trap still remains... but I don''t know if it''s possible because Jinhyuk''s summons are exhausted. Pesis'' gaze turned to the summoned beasts. No, Master...don''t announce my death... Dalgrak. T-bones and ancient soldiers rolled on the floor torn apart. Well. There was also a guy whose head was frozen. There was also a guy whose arm bones and leg bones had changed. Looking at it this way, it sure seems like a lot of hard work. Sooner or later, give me a milk bath full of calcium or something. Master. I don''t even have the strength to lift a finger anymore. "It was the biggest mistake of my life to be happy to meet you after a long time." Collock. Collock. Everyone, be quiet. My head hurts. The spirit beasts of the 5 elements also made a sound of pain and fell to their seats. Momii... Even the sweet potato had his tongue hanging down to one side, so it looks like he ran a bit harshly. I can''t do anything more than this "I''m going to catch my breath for a second." Jinhyuk took out a bunch of ingredients he had stored in the subspace inventory. Rainbow Shrimp, Quadruple Mushroom, and Daebong Egg that can only be tasted in the Tower of Trials. Cheese from goats in the Black Mountains and so on. Truly all kinds of delicacies poured into Ururu. In addition, I have prepared up to 3 kg of magic stone powder, so it will be the best nutritious food for replenishing energy. [You have used Lv4 ''Different World Restaurant''.] A cooking skill that everyone can enjoy beyond race has been activated. It is a recipe that has satisfied even the elves who lived only on dew and fruit, so it will be able to satisfy the taste of the summoned creatures. Soon after, various steaming dishes were completed one by one. Fantastic look and smell. Saliva was dripping from everyone''s mouth because of the lack of appetite. "You even prepare delicious food for us. I didn''t even know that, and I thought that the owner was just an unscrupulous, vicious business owner who was chasing us " Because the owner is only on the outside but warm on the inside. Hehe. Lord, master. I have always respected you the most in the world. What do you mean, fire lizards? The owner said I was the leader among the spirit beasts? Everyone stand in a straight line. Undine waved her small arms left and right. Master, I feel like my osteoporosis is being cured. Dalgrak. T-Bone and the ancient soldiers also tasted the ogre milk, which was said to have a calcium concentration of 99%. mosquito! I couldn''t stand the sweet potato, so I grabbed the largest shrimp. great. To eat it, you have to eat it like this. There was a fear that if you only use a whip, you might have animosity or be crooked. However, I was afraid that giving carrots would only make me hungry and make me lazy. After all, the best way to train is to use the right mix of whips and carrots. just like right now. ''And the original psychology is that if you do something good 10 times, and if you don''t do it 1 time, you curse at it, but if you do it 10 times and do it well 1 time, you are thankful.'' While everyone is enjoying a short break in a warm atmosphere. [''Coin Exchange'' has been activated.] Left alone, Jinhyuk looked at the coin exchange. A total of six items are required. [The Fog Tree of the Peshan Mountains - 35,000 Coins] [Intermediate Purification Seat - 15,000 Coins] [[Whispers of Steel (Material Type)] - 150,000 coins] [[Disintegration accelerator (material type)] - 22,000 coins 3] [[Golden Thread (for 150,000km)] - 50,000 coins] [Melmorman Therapy Center''s Ointment 500g - 15,000 Coins] In all, it is 331,000 coins. ''It''s terribly expensive.'' I currently have around 83,000 coins. About 250,000 more coins were needed. ''It should have been well-received for being in the Hall of Fame... .'' Jinhyuk joined the Tower of Trials community with a trembling heart. [Are there any players who received the status of Grand Duke from the Empire? (Feat. Panties become magnificent)] -Views: 30,563,225 -Popularity Rank: 1st Fortunately, the video that was inducted into the Hall of Fame was hugely popular. Considering that it was uploaded less than 6 hours ago, this is an unimaginable number. - Drunken Rudolph: No lol. What kind of player gets the noble title? Do you understand this word? -National Institute of Korean Language: It makes more sense to have all the spelling errors in one sentence. -I like blue: But it''s really cool. Not just aristocrats, but Grand Duke status. A principality guaranteed to be independent from the Empire! -choigh-lonk: Is there any guild in the world that has acquired a base of that size? Including the 7 major guilds and other emerging powers. -Hopefully our jungle stays alive: none. Recently, guilds have been struggling to establish a base, but everyone is struggling to prevent other factions from attacking monsters. It''s not even a good base. There are two things that guilds are most concerned about. The first was to get a house from the residents of the tower, and the second was to secure a base to solidify their position in the middle floors. Of course, there were very few guilds that achieved both. Even that, it would be correct to say that most of the mountain bases were located on the outskirts and had no nutritional value. -Earth Defense Force Avengers: Of course. In the first place, it''s not at a level that can be compared with those idiots and the Goin Corporation. look at the members -Ronaldo''s greed, Ramos'' foul, Bale''s glass body: oj. Because the dream team has gathered. Both swordsmen and saints are Scouts'' rank 0 talents. And Kang Jin-hyuk is an out-of-standard monster. -Cyber Rekkacha: It is a rumor, but it is said that the Indian Gandhara Guild went to the Empire a while ago and was slaughtered. The opponent was Goin Corporation. -Go-Ko Fan Club No.1 Fan: Wow, that''s really great. However, Unknown is not visible in the video. Where did you go? -Kimchi stew: At first, it seems like he just made a gesture of being together for a while and went to his own business. Top rankers are always busy. - Sae Young Eon Hwan: Well. Or, Unknown and Jinhyeok might be a bit vague as they are in the same place. Just by looking at the pouring comments, I could see how hot the interest is now. ''haha More than 30 million views.'' Jinhyuk''s lips twitched continuously. Amazing, Great. If this is enough, buying an item is not a problem at all. No, if you can upload more diverse and stimulating videos in the future and create a strong fixed subscriber, you will be able to go beyond these material-type items, even higher-level relics. As I imagined such a future, an exhilarating feeling of exhilaration welled up from the depths of my heart. However. The joy didn''t last very long. jerk. with light footsteps. This is really amazing. We tried all the hard work to find this entrance, but I never imagined that if we just followed him, we would lead to the place where the feet are. An unfamiliar voice came from behind Jinhyuk. As I got closer, I felt no presence. He was a guy with great skills that didn''t even get caught by mana detection. A man with silver hair and red eyes. vampire . To be precise, Jinjo, a pure-blooded vampire just like Elise, must have been. Momii! master! Master. It smells bad. It''s thick and ominous. Summoners showed hostility. Because he had already had several frictions with the vampire, he instinctively felt rejected. Ho-oh. Still, just because I signed a contract with a traitor, you know me. It''s pretty good for lowly humans and pets. "It came naturally to me because I was playing with a guy who had the word noble all day long." How come all vampires have their own arrogant tone on their lips. It seems that they receive early education in groups from childhood. It''s not wrong. We''re different from other species since we were born. "So from which family did the other side of the family come from? Did the Decassus family send another pure-blood?" Half right and half wrong. Jinjo shook his head. You''re half right. What does that mean? It is true that I belong to the Decasus, but no one sent me. I came here of my own will. of one''s own will... come? no way . Jinhyuk''s pupils narrowed to a very small degree. Let me introduce myself. Amulam de Decasus. I am the head of the Decasus family. CH 249 . head of the Decassus (1) ''Vampires'', one of the great powers of the upper tier. The solid pillars that make up them are the six great families made up of pure blood. And one of them was ''Amulam de Decasus'', the ancestor who led the Decasus family. My mouth hurts when I say two. The best. There could be no one more appropriate to modify the word. Jerrit! Jerrit! mana transmitted through the skin. The reason for the feeling of intimidation is probably the authority accumulated over the eons. At best, as a player who faced monsters in the middle class, it was difficult to even make eye contact with an enemy with a different level. ''If we fight 1:1, the win rate will be less than 3%... .'' Jinhyuk wet his lower lip with his tongue. The reason such a monster was able to come here is because it has overcome the limitations of the system by investing numerous coins and relics. No, I may have paid more than that. ''It must also mean that you must obtain the Balmung.'' Jinhyuk looked at the subject through ''Eyes of Gluttony''. [Amulam de Decasus] Race: vampire age: ???? level: ??? strength ??? Agility ??? health ??? man ??? authority ??? Unique Ability: Blood Explosion skill: ''Addiction'' Lv???, ''blood clotting'' Lv??, ''Red Moon'' Lv??, ''Blood Hound'' Lv??, ''???'' Lv??, ''Liquid Alchemy'' Lv??, ''Quadraple Shield'' Lv49 Characteristics: Amulam has the most cruel and cold temperament among the six headmasters. They try to get what they want by any means possible, so turning it into an enemy can be very troublesome. Detailed Description: Failed to view detailed information of the target due to insufficient level of the Eye of Devourer. [Copy Conditions] Amulam takes great pride in having the purest blood. He must be convinced that any Demon God being with his own blood will become a member of the family who obeys orders. Drink his blood and break free from the mind control of the household. If he can, he will be able to copy one of his unique abilities and skills. I couldn''t get all the information because the level difference was so extreme, but I was able to confirm some pretty important things. The most notable is the copy conditions. Again, absurd conditions arose this time. ''Get out of this monster''s mind... .'' It was no different from saying to put a completely poisonous Holy Grail to your mouth. Because the mind control of the upper level, even comparable to that of divinity, was not at the level of ''tolerable''. Moreover, after Amulam liberated mana, the presence of many began to be felt. Kick. Are there only two people with warm blood? It''s a pity this is. After a few sips, only bones and leather will be left. A playful laugh pierces the eardrums. Even the descendants of Decassus came. ''Alone would be enough... You''ve been very determined and prepared.'' Jinhyuk swallowed a bitter laugh. At least ten or more. Just like the ones I met on the 7th floor, only pure-bloods were selected. However. Even in the face of such a desperate situation, Jinhyuk did not lose his composure. He was just calculating something with his calm, sunken eyes. "You don''t feel too embarrassed to hear my true name." That''s because I knew you were coming. Hey. Did you know we''d come? In the castle''s Shadow Procession, one of your men was staring blankly at you. If you wanted to spy, wouldn''t you have sent someone smarter? What do you do when you hide in the crowd? You can''t even hide your characteristic sinister gaze? what! At Jinhyuk''s death, one of the blood relatives was furious. It must have been quite shameful to be caught by the tail, and his handsome appearance was severely distorted. You''re talking about a pierced snout. The fleshy ones taste good with blood. That guy''s right arm is mine. I take the left leg. The rest of the blood relatives around were also excited and exposed their fangs. right then stop. Amulam opened his mouth. In an instant, the surroundings became as quiet as a dead mouse. Even with a slightly uncomfortable sign, the entire underground air sank like the deep sea. Shortness of breath and constriction of blood vessels. Really. It''s such an incredible pressure that I can''t stand it. "Obviously it seems that the response was a bit sloppy. But, what are you going to do if you find out about it?" Amulam passed through Jinhyuk and looked at the phesis and the spirit beasts. It''s true that it''s pretty good, but that''s the human standard. Among vampires, it was not enough to go crazy with the owner, who is considered the strongest. " " He flinched for a moment when his gaze turned to the sweet potato, but it was only for a moment. It was because he knew that the ancient species could not manifest itself in its own form unless certain conditions were met. Moreover, even if the ancient species manifested in its own form, there was no guarantee of a match with Amulam. However. Even so, Jinhyuk was smiling. I must have misunderstood you. The lack of power. I knew in advance that you would come, but the fact that I came here... Think carefully. As he rolls his handsome head. I''m always in an overwhelming position, so I don''t know. It''s all what I wanted. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. At the same time. [The holy relic ''Bracelet of the Traitor'' is activated!] A deep sense of discomfort emanated. I hope this is...! Amulam''s expression collapsed. I couldn''t help but be confused. Because the renegade''s bracelet was the holy thing they had. And it was in the vampires that the bracelet was activated. The holy relic that existed on the 11th floor was the ''renegade''s bracelet.'' It was one of the cursed relics for summoning the Demon King, and the vampires had secured it to encourage the cooperation of demons. And the renegade''s bracelet was kept by the Decasus family, and the relic suddenly started to activate its effect. gurgling gurgling. Black smoke began to fill the basement in an instant and leave. "What kind of asshole activated the Holy Relic!" Amulam shouted and turned his head. Then there. Rumble. "Ugh I I I didn''t do it because I wanted to I had no choice but to do it. No, I didn''t know." There was a vampire who did not know what to do with regret and fear. Ophelia. In the past, he was the only vampire who survived when he faced the hounds of Decassus on the 7th floor. The vampires were interested in the Empire, of course, and that the purpose was Balmung, all of the information she confided. ''It wasn''t the stigma of the soul, but it destroyed the mind to an almost similar level.'' Thanks to this, I was able to plan well. How can I get the most effective balmung? And can you increase your odds even a little bit against Gaju, who is evaluated as the strongest among vampires? all. And those little preparations are now bearing fruit. [[[Forcible transfer] from Ophelia to Jinhyuk Kang by the will of the acquirer] It''s possible.] [Due to the effect of the holy material, the attribute effects of ''Abandonment'' and ''Pollution'' are given.] [Select a target. (It takes about 10 minutes to prepare for activation.)] The name ''renegade'' is not for nothing. True to its name, the method and effect of possession of the holy objects also differed from those of ordinary items. just like right now. Pants! Jinhyuk looked at the skull bracelet that appeared on his wrist with satisfaction. We have already thought about how to use the attribute effect. All that remains is to hold out until the activation time. right then Ophelia! How dare you betray me? Did you think that you would be okay even if you chose a human! Amulam swung his nails relentlessly. To tear the traitor apart at once. However, it was not a body made of bones and flesh that was cut off by the nails. Break! An ice fragment in the shape of Ophelia shattered into pieces. A pile made of glacier modeling. The 5-star barrier gave a proper deception effect, so it did a great job with just one deception. Switch it...? It was when I turned my head for a moment. It would have been normal in the first place, but because of my embarrassment, a gap appeared in the mana subtly. I think the bracelet and Ophelia were quite shocking? Are you saying you just pierced that gap? That''s enough space for me. There''s no such thing as great acrobatics. It wasn''t the first time I''d faced monsters that were of absolute self-sufficiency. ...I thought it was a puppy, but I guess it has teeth. Amulam''s eyes on Jinhyuk changed. It was the kind of eyes that recognized him as an enemy a little bit. "But it''s a pity. If I had attacked me or removed my blood relatives, the odds would have increased even a little. I can''t let you kill me, though, as an insider who gave me important information. Yes ? This time, even Ophelia opened her eyes in surprise. It''s a face that he couldn''t have imagined that he would think of himself as an enemy like that. It''s like poetry, and he has a kind personality. That''s good. Take as many traitors as you like. Because I was going to wipe them all out anyway. Amulam raised his right hand. That''s the signal. Tuk! fault! With a light sound spurting the ground, the hounds of Decassus moved. fast. The vampires, who narrowed the distance in an instant, took out a cold weapon with a dark red light. The moment when you are sure that if you do not respond, you will be annihilated. mosquito! The sweet potato controlled the summons. Okay. Huh! Dalgrak! The spirit beasts and T-bone moved. As if to prove that I didn''t waste my time in the worm labyrinth. Even the skillfulness was felt in the way he sat down one by one. [Undine Sylphid activate ''Elemental Shield''!] Water and wind harmonized, and a pentagonal shield appeared. Puffy! Honey! Nails and blades were intercepted by the shield. Damn it, the wind opens your eyes. Whoa! Hey, what is this! Damn it! Cool! Whoops! Swords and claws crossed the shield as they stretched, but only the water and wind crossed the paws. Physical attacks were of no use in front of elemental magic. And the moment the vampires paused for a moment. This time, cracks occurred in the ground, and a huge hand made of rock swallowed the vampires. [Gnomes use ''Land Pieces''!] KwaKwaKwabang! A thick smoke erupted with a roar. However, the attack did not end there. Whoops! kukukuku! The flame of salamander and the breath of sweet potato are combined into one. The light of two different attributes harmonized in one place, and the room became so dry that the lips were demonic. As if foretelling what was going to happen before this. You''re going to make me use Breath in a place like this? Seriously? "Our kids aren''t the kind of person who goes back and forth." Jinhyuk smiled brightly. Anyway, let''s test who''s body is stronger. And at the end of those words. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Condensed light crossed the center of the tomb. Everyone''s vision was dyed white due to the tremendous heat and glare. CH 250 . Head of the Decasian (2) Chi profit! A thick stream of steam spewed out. It was impossible for the barrier and shield that protect the tomb to withstand the breath of ancient species and the fear of spirits at the same time. It''s huge, it''s huge. Jinhyuk wiped the dust off his clothes. It''s a shame because sweet potatoes aren''t the adult version. The imperial palace would have been completely buried underground. Only the unsightly cracked walls and utterly dug-out ground seemed to tell how absurd the attack had just been. Momii... Collock. Collock. I''m out of breath. Everyone, be quiet. My head hurts. All sweet potatoes and spirit beasts were also unharmed. Neither Pesis nor the rest were involved in the attack just before. [ I''m glad we found the safest place on the multidimensional map. We almost died. ] I thought Mr. Pesis would find a suitable safe zone. Fortunately, that prediction was correct. Thank you for believing in me, but next time, please tell me. I have a weak heart... Pesis wiped his chest with a white face. Finally, Ophelia looked up at Jinhyuk as if she couldn''t understand. "Why did you save me?" If you had decided to throw it away, you could throw it away. Because the use value has already disappeared, there was no reason to waste power. But, last minute. Jinhyuk evacuated Ophelia to a safe area found by Pesis using ''Sword Demon King Bo''. There is no reason. Jinhyeok shrugged and pulled out the twin dragon swords and fangs from the subspace inventory. Whether threatened or traumatized, I was the one who made you bring the traitor''s bracelet here and strike Amulam in the back of the head. You''ve accomplished your mission well, so at least keep your life alive. The saying that the owner of a company is a shareholder is not, at least, not applicable to Koin Corporation. It was also the philosophy of Goin-Mul Corporation to take responsibility for the safety of shareholders more than any other force. " " Ophelia turned dumb and looked at Jinhyuk. I knew it. Reaching out your hand when you are most desperate is the best way to do it both in East and West and inside and outside the tower. [Ophelia''s favorability increased by +10.] There is ''communion'' As the skill was added, I was able to raise the favorability quite a bit. Like 10 was a number that only increased when you were truly grateful, so it could be said that you have definitely captured Ophelia''s heart. ''It''s neat.'' A loyal slave is always Shadow. Especially if you voluntarily give me a necklace, it would be even better. But don''t be too relieved. Because a proper fight hasn''t even started yet. The previous attack did quite a bit of damage to the vampires, but it was never fatal. At best, it was just a little bit of momentum and injuring those who lacked skills. Vampires and Amulam of the Black Wing Title, which can be called the main force, were still showing off their healthy mana. As if to represent that expectation. jerk. Amulam walked out of the smoke. Likewise, with a little dust on it, it looks clean with no scratches. Still, I got the breath right, but it''s a little ridiculous that I''m fine like that. What should I eat to be strong like you? Is it okay to drink a bowl of dragon blood every morning? Jinhyuk clicked his tongue as if tired. "I really want to ask, what should I eat to make a place like you breathe in a place like this?" "Since wave, energy, thermodynamics, etc., I''ve heard a lot of compliments about how good one deal calculation is. Hmm. You keep talking nonsense. Looking at the bullshit, I think vampires are only from the liberal arts department? Or did I say too difficult a word? Jinhyuk shrugged once more. Then, the corners of Amulam''s lips twisted slightly. If I spoke any more, I felt that I was only getting involved in the other person''s tricks. I haven''t met a decent guy for a sly provocation like that, but where are you, something a little different? kwaang! Hands came before words. He barely hit the red-tinted nails, but he couldn''t completely avoid it. I could see drops of red blood scattered across the air. "You bled you bled." It was then that a cold voice pierced the eardrums. [Amulam activates his unique ability ''Blood Explosion''!] In an instant, an illusion occurred as if a drop of blood was expanding rapidly. No, it''s not an illusion. This is dangerous. Jinhyuk instinctively increased the distance between him and his opponent. puff puff puff! Aww! An explosion occurred in the air. what ! Jinhyuk frantically flew his body left and right. The explosions that continued in a chain were both speed and speed, but even the power was beyond imagination. You could blow up an entire person at a time. this. Jinhyuk, who rotated round and round like a flying squirrel, widened the distance. I must admit one thing about escaping. Even the blood relatives belonging to the Black Wing were swept away from their demigods when they first faced this ability. That''s it. If it hadn''t been for the countless experiences and sharpened reflexes that resulted, it would have turned into a meat fragment. It''s a fast and powerful skill, but the person using it is clumsy? I think I managed to avoid it. What a garbage human bastard. How dare you, Lord...! Okay. I''ll deal with this guy myself. You take care of the rest. Be very careful about the ancient species, just in case. Oh, I see. Lord. The blood relatives bowed their heads. kwaaang! KwaKwaKwabang! A roar and explosion followed. Due to the conflict between mana and mana, the interior is already reminiscent of a battlefield. T-Bone and the ancient soldiers took the role of tanks and formed a formation in front of them. Behind him, the spirit beasts and sweet potatoes were in charge of long-distance support. The blood relatives of the Decasus family also went through a lot of prenatal battles, so they ran wildly and dug into the loopholes of the siege. But. What was more intense than the large-scale group battle was the diary between Jinhyeok and Amulam. [[Lv??] ''Dew of Heavenly Blood'' is activated!] Drops of blood the size of a soccer ball began to fill Jinhyuk''s surroundings. Considering the abilities I showed you a while ago, this is... . die. KwaKwaKwa Kwa Kwa Kwa! Drops of blood exploded at the same time. The whole area was dyed red. Drops of blood splattered from the explosion became the medium of another explosion. The series of explosions were more than enough to change all the scenery in front of them. But. Huh? Jinhyuk did not die in the midst of it. Shadow transfer technique through ''shade killing''. Although there was a difference in the paper, he succeeded in escaping the range of the bloodbath. Now it''s time to counterattack. Jinhyuk, who grabbed Amulam''s back at once, stabbed the twin dragon swords. Whoops! By the way. ...! no feeling The feeling of being stabbed in the liquid. Does it mean that it did not do any damage to the sacred relic, the twin dragon swords, even though it was manifested through the ''Tomb of Swords''? Did I tell you. It''s true that you''re great, but I''m on a different level. No matter how hard I try, it will be impossible to even see a drop of blood from me. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Again, drops of blood flickered. This time from a small pool of blood on the floor. ''Time difference... attack?'' Obviously, mana was not felt, but it was after the blood drops rapidly expanded. Aww! An explosion occurred right next to his head. swaying Jin-hyeok, who was blown away by the shock wave, lost his balance and collapsed. This person dug into the eardrum. However, Amulam''s second attack followed without a moment to calm himself down. It''s not a ranged attack, it''s an attack from close range. Kwak kwok! Amulam''s nails stopped in front of Jinhyuk''s eyes. To be precise, Jinhyuk grabbed Amulam''s wrist. It''s fun. Did you think it was worth trying with your own strength? Amulam, who smiled as if it wasn''t the same, gave more strength to his arm. However, the deadlock was not broken. His trembling nails still couldn''t reach Jinhyuk. A normal arm would have been impossible. However, if that arm is a reproduction of the right arm of Tombgrave, the great hero of the giant gods... . The story is completely different. Giant clan arms? This is true. You really surprise me over and over again. I think it''s a little early to be surprised... The arm is just for reinforcement. The real thing was another Mugong to spread out through the fortified arms. ''The Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong (ħʹ)''. An intangible cutting edge that transcends formulas. ''The Thousand Year Penetration Sutra (욢͸)''. Boom! The foreign energy that spread through the palms shook the internal organs from within. Big!? Amulam''s eyebrows curve backwards. This works. I could definitely feel the difference in the feel of my hand. Of course, the price paid to make one successful attack was painful. Jinhyuk looked at the large wound along his shoulder. Does this mean to give in return and receive in words? In the meantime, Amulam, who blew the counter, only thought he was a monster. gurggle! Blood flowing like a fountain. He was trying to stop bleeding with ''Blessing of the Stars'', but it was clear that he had injured an artery. still. I have finally achieved my purpose. A drop of blood. Did you spill it? Jinhyuk looked at the drops of blood on his fingertips. I had no idea that the bright red liquid would feel so welcome. Did you pour everything and get just one drop? That''s a great achievement. It''s just one drop... You''re right. It''s embarrassing to even call it an achievement only after my appearance. But, isn''t it? [The preparation time for ''Traditional''s Bracelet'' has run out.] Why would I ever want to get the renegade''s bracelet? Even though it was not necessary to bring the treasures or relics that vampires have, rather than the relics. I just pinched and picked this... . This is because the traitor''s bracelet has a hidden special ability. If the blood of the redeemed comes into contact with the jewel of the bracelet... . The barrier you put on the corridor will lose its power. [The abilities of ''Abandonment'' and ''Pollution'' bloom.] Corridor of the Fallen. In the pit of the deep abyss where Ataraxia''s families are trapped. A bright light emanated from ''Braham''s Ring''. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo What appeared was a red gate with no end in sight. jerk. Alice, now a fully grown adult, stepped out through the shimmering surface. In the same way as when we first met in the corridor. There was an indescribable energy swirling in her silver hair as white as snow and her clothes as black as pitch black. " " The emotion in his still eyes was unmistakably anger. And after that, Belus and the rest of his kin began to appear one by one. you ! An earthquake occurred in Amulam''s pupil. I had no choice but to do so. This is because I never imagined that the ban would be completely lifted in a place like this. Amulam de Decasus. Do you remember me? Alice opened her mouth. This is a question. The first and last throw to the opponent. Can''t you remember? I was one of the lords who sealed the pit for four years. Yeah. It was. Thanks to you guys, we''ve been stuck in the abyss for so long. Elise closed her eyes as if reminiscing about aeons of time. The beauty of the moon and stars. The freshness of the grass and the softness of the wind. All of them have been forgotten. But what I wanted more than the freedom I so desperately wanted was just honor. It was about regaining Ataraxia''s defiled name and self-esteem. Even if it was thanks to the help of a human, not solely their own strength. Alice slowly opened her eyes. His eyes were dyed red as if they were drenched in blood. My name is Ellis von Ataraxia. One of the absolutes of the tower. It is the strongest Jinjo that all householders feared. If the purest and most beautiful blood exists, it would be a word coined to refer to the name Ellis. In the name of Gaju Ataraxia, I will ask you for your sins of the past. mana was liberated. CH 251 . Ataraxia, Pureblood Empress (1) Is this what it means to crush your whole body? kukukuku! heavy. Dare to the point where it''s hard to even raise your head. [The unique ability ''Blood Lord'' is activated!] The red wave spreading widely seemed to signal the beginning and the end at the same time. After a while, the blood barrier to prevent the destruction of surrounding facilities due to mana''s overload was completed. If this is the case, there will be no harm to the Empire even if you run wildly. "The traitor''s bracelet had such an effect." Amulam murmured in disbelief. While working in the tower for countless years, he prided himself on knowing more about the tower than anyone else. That''s natural. Because the experiences accumulated over time and position were the real meaning of information. It had to be completely different from the players who had been in the tower for less than a year. By the way. ''You know what I don''t know?'' Does that make sense? Being pushed back in information warfare? However, even if he tried to deny it, he could not ignore the Ataraxia''s blood relatives who appeared in front of him. This is a fucking reality. You... what the hell are you? Who knows about this? Well. How would you like to know? Don''t ask questions first, answer the questions asked! I understand you are curious, but wouldn''t it be better to put out the fire that fell on the instep of your foot right away? Jinhyuk glanced back. There was a queen emitting a vicious energy. I can''t put into words the grudges I''ve accumulated over the years. kukukuku! Red skewers appeared one by one over Elise''s shoulder. Dreadful weapons reminiscent of harpoons were about to be fired at the hounds of Decassus at any moment. Are you serious about fighting me? Even you wouldn''t be enough to overturn this electric car, would you? The blood relatives of Ataraxia had joined, but since they were locked up in the corridor for a long time, it was not enough to use them as their full power. At the most, would only one Belus be equal with one of the Black Wings? Moreover, as Ellis, who was limited in mana due to a contract with a player, was unable to fully utilize the power of her heyday. Your tongue is getting longer, Amulam. Have you already forgotten? Even when all five of you lords pointed their swords at me, I didn''t give in. power inferiority. It doesn''t matter whether there are restrictions or not. For the head of Ataraxia, such a thing was not even an excuse. Rather, if there wasn''t even a penalty like this, would you dare show your teeth to me? The me back then... Don''t think I''m the same now. As the years passed, I got stronger. That means I''m not who I used to be. You''ve gotten stronger... that''s funny. That those words can sound so light. With that the conversation ended. Guaguaquaquaquaquaquawa! Starting with the waves of fresh blood... . There is no need to be afraid of those who have already been defeated once in the past. Kill all the bugs that tried to attack Rod! I will give the Decasans a taste of the hell we experienced. Defeat each one thoroughly so that they cannot intervene in Ellis-sama''s battle! Black shadows crossed in all directions. The battle has become more urgent. If before, it was simply a battle of whether to get Balmung or not. Now it has escalated into an all-out war for the survival of the family. Puppupuck! Kagak! Aww! Severed limbs bounced off with a roar from here and there. The level of combat is as high as all the elites selected from each family. The intensity was far beyond common sense. Various magics and rites made of blood filled the air, and the sound of desperate screams and shouts covered the air. right then Are you a human who made things so troublesome! A vampire appeared in front of Jinhyuk. It was a surprise attack aimed at the gap where the wound had not yet healed. However. The vampire''s body that was about to wield its nails suddenly stopped. Turn it off...? Dare you, whose body are you trying to touch? With those filthy arms... are you trying to harm my contractor? Alice''s eyes went cold. It was the most angry voice I''ve ever heard. right at that moment. kwaduk! The vampire''s arm was completely crumbled. Aww! kwaduk! Whoops! The body was then crushed to such an extent that its shape was unrecognizable. F, Freiard was hit in one shot? "How could a blood clan belonging to the Black Wing die in such vain?" The rest of the vampires who were about to attack hesitated and retreated. Just thinking about it without drinking alcohol would be enough. it''s totally different Even if hundreds or even thousands of common blood relatives attack, it will be nothing more than hitting a rock with an egg. ''I must do better in the future.'' It was also time for Jinhyuk to swallow dry saliva. Alice''s lips twitched. Woah. what? thanks. Alice pondered the words again. For freeing the clan. For giving me a chance to regain my lost honor and pride. Thank you very much. Elise said so. In any case, even after the restrictions have been lifted, I am still clumsy in conveying my feelings. I''ll say thank you later. It''s not over yet. I know that Elise is uniquely strong among the family members, but Amulam was never so easy-going. It means that leading a family is not a title that can be obtained for free. as if to prove it. The blood of Amulam engulfed Elise''s surroundings. KwaKwaKwa Kwa Kwa Kwa! Dozens of drops of blood exploded in an instant. It was an explosion that was so strong that it could not be compared with the blood bombs he had used a while ago. Since the opponent was Elise, Amulam also went all-out from the beginning. However. no wounds In Alice''s hand that appeared from the explosion, a slender spear about 3m long was spinning like a twist. Is it my turn? [Elise activates ''Blood Spear''!] A spear with a whopping 7 turns. A single flash of light with maximized penetrating power crossed the air. Puppupuck! Amulam''s body was broken by a fighter. At that moment, Amulam''s body turned into dozens of bats and scattered. up! Jinhyuk and Elise''s gazes were directed towards the air at the same time. Amulam soared high enough to reach the ceiling and had just completed a gigantic magic circle. ''Astrexica''. It is an ancient magic that uses air and blood as a medium. It was when Elise was about to leave her seat quickly with her Blink skill. Kwok! The six snakes sealed Alice''s ankle tightly. It was an arrangement that perfectly calculated the escape route. You must not run away. A lightning bolt filled with blood fell on Elise''s head. Pants... . KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Several layers of shield tried to protect Elise, but that alone was not enough. Lightning burned down Elise''s body dozens of times. The fear that the rocks and marbles evaporated as it was, quickly turned into a residual fire and devoured the air. ssiik. Amulam smiled in conversion. Because I was sure the timing and power were perfect. But the joy was short-lived. Elise brushed off the fire on her body and walked out. no damage It is only slightly tanned. You have a filthy hard body. You can''t lose your mind even if you get hit that it can instantly kill large monsters that live in the upper floors. So it doesn''t work. What do you mean? So it doesn''t work. From the fact that they put me on the same line with the large species that inhabit the upper floors. It means that the premise itself is ruined. Alice waved her hand lightly. OK. Red thorn vines protruded from the ground. Not ordinary vines. Wow, it was a spirit tree that could bind divinity. If caught, you can''t escape forever. Is it a tree of ghosts? You don''t think I''ll be caught by such a slow vine, do you? That''s something we should try from now on. Dozens of vines rushed to catch Amulam. fault! taat! Amulam stepped on the blood dissolved in the air, and moved at high speed. Fast enough to be indistinguishable by the eye. Still, he steadily controlled the distance with Elise. It''s not about looking at the liver while avoiding cooking. It didn''t take any time either. Knowing that a small attack could not inflict fatal wounds, he was gathering mana who could choke his breath in one blow. kukukuku! Others didn''t know, but Jinhyuk felt it. Now, all the particles of mana around me are being agglomerated by Elise and Amulam. So, one step. two steps. And three steps. The moment when finely tuned steps overlapped with each other''s spacing. I''m going to put an end to it this time! [Amulam activates his unique Holy Lance Dimensional Compression ''Red Veins''!] Amulam''s unique holy lance has been opened. A red coffin appeared around Alice''s body. red blood vessels. It is the ability to compress the dimension itself, not the space, and crush the living things in it. It was extremely difficult to activate due to the need to control precise coordinates and minute mana, but once activated, the effect was guaranteed. kukukuku! The unimaginable mana continued to compress and compress, and gradually reduced its size. Red sparks rose in all directions. The three-story coffin has shrunk to the size of a single room. After a while, it was reduced to the size of a refrigerator. If only a few seconds passed, what was inside would have disappeared into a lump of meat that was hard to even recognize. Khahaha! Isn''t it overwhelming? This is this body''s unique vocal spear! Amulam went mad. He couldn''t hide his excitement as he thought he had surely killed him this time. Even if I regret it, it''s already too late. Even if I beg for my life, it''s the same. Even I can''t stop this ability already. The coffin of death that neither Blink nor teleport works. The only thing you can do in it is to struggle and get crushed like an insect. Drowning in the delusions of the past and overlooking the present. That''s why four years die. It was about time for the final compression to proceed. In the coffin dyed red, Alice''s unique holy spear was opened. Stand, please! Amulam opened his mouth. I felt the air change through my skin. The sparks that had been blowing like crazy in all directions had disappeared. Just then, the sound of something breaking was heard. kwaduduk! A part of the red blood vessels collapsed, and the figure of Ellis appeared. [[Elise''s unique holy spear] ''Apocalypse of Gaebyeok'' is activated!] I must have forgotten, but you are not the only one with a unique spear. A pair of wings covered with black feathers. The strange appearance of a mixture of devil and angel caused a thrill in itself. Whoops! A huge ring made of fire appeared behind Elise''s back. Along the borders, ancient runes began to burn. Alluring and decadent, beautiful and sinister at the same time. This is Alice''s full armament. And when this unique holy spear appeared in the tower in the past... . The 5th generation headmasters and their blood relatives had to lose half of their power. CH 252 . Ataraxia, Pureblood Empress (2) Ugh... Amulam hardened on the spot. Just looking at them makes my whole body shrink and my eyes seem to burn. Open this. this man. completely different dimension. ''Due to the contract with the player, I thought I wouldn''t be able to use the unique voice spear.'' It was an illusion. As he said, such a penalty is not even at a level that can hold you back. Is this the strongest lineage of Ataraxia? ''Even after so much time has passed, the gap has not been narrowed in the slightest... .'' Amulam''s mind was stained with despair. right then Whoops! A javelin made of flames was made in Alice''s palm. The day, surrounded by fear, was moving forward. [Ellis activates ''Tersis''.] Take it. There is no need for a propellant for acceleration. The missing spear cut through the air and headed towards Amulam''s head. A barrier made of blood suddenly unfolded, but it could not block the spear for even a second. Shields that break like glass walls. Pop! The destructive power was so strong that the head was torn from the neck. However, Amulam did not die. The vampire''s vicious vitality longed for eternal life even in situations where instant death was inevitable. Amulam, who had completely regenerated the tattered wounds as well as the head, took a rough breath. Heh heh heh heh heh... Poured too much mana into playing. Besides, Elise was about to continue the attack while holding the second javelin. ''Rain, damn it.'' No matter how many times you get hit by that attack, it''s dangerous. In fact, even though all the five heads of state and blood relatives attacked Alice''s own holy spear, she couldn''t easily win. It''s unreasonable this way Amulam calmly accepted the reality. Of course, I didn''t even think of dying meekly because of that. ''Football... !'' Yes. If only I could get that demonic sword that even cut down the dragon... . There will be plenty of chances to win against Elise as well. '' You must be thinking.'' Jinhyuk noticed that Amulam''s gaze was directed at Balmung. In fact, that was the only way Amulam had left. ''While fighting Elise, you''re going to have your men bring you Balmung... Hmm.'' the problem is. The point is that the poisoning that spreads around Balmung is beyond imagination. Turn it off... Ouch! Gagging. In fact, the hounds sent from Decassus fell down, bleeding while trying to target their feet. The fact that vampires with strong resistance could not stand also meant that an ordinary player would become a handful of blood in a matter of seconds. if so . Jinhyuk took out the items he had previously purchased from the subspace inventory. Fog trees in the Peshan Mountains. Melmorman Therapeutic Center''s Ointment 500g. Mist wood is usually used for high-end decorations, and Melmormand ointment was widely known as a high-quality moisturizing cream. Two items that, at first glance, do not seem to be of any help at all. However, if you mix the two properly, you can make a drug that is resistant to poison. ''Maybe it was 3.25:1.758?'' It''s been a while since I''ve done it, so I can''t remember the exact ratio... . Does not matter. Even though I couldn''t memorize the numbers, my body remembered them. [[''Unidentified Liquid''] You have obtained 5mg!] Success. Since this formula is not yet known in the tower, even the system has replaced it with the modifier ''unknown''. When the colorless, odorless liquid was applied evenly all over the body, the sour smell that stung the tip of the nose disappeared like a lie. There. [The unique ability ''Ten Poison (ǧ)'' is activated.] All preparations were completed by not only dealing with poison, but also putting on a cheondok that raises the level of understanding of poison. ''Now we just have to wait.'' To be precise, all you have to do is wait for him to use ''that skill''. Jinhyuk calmly watched the battle between the two. kwaaang! Puppupuck! Dozens of intersecting magics and unique abilities made with blood. Indeed, the battle between the two absolutes was different from that level. It was because they randomly fired attacks that could be called the boss monster''s strength, one by one. 1 minute, 2 minutes. 3 minutes... . Time has passed. The fierce battle that lasted for several minutes was over. [Amulam summons a ''bloodhound''.] Hounds of hell made of blood appeared. The long-awaited time has finally come. fault! now! Jin-hyeok, who used ''Sword Demon King''s Bo'', left his seat at once and took a leap forward. Forward. where the feet are. Well? Is that guy...? Amulam was pouring all his attention on Elise, but the other vampires were not like that. The hunting dogs sniffed it. He sensed that Jinhyuk was running towards Balmung. Are you aiming for the feet? Stupid! That''s a place we can''t even get to easily. The ridicule was imbued with anticipation of a human who soon vomited blood and collapsed. By the way. tuk. fault. Too Wook... . The moment he saw Jinhyeok stretching forward so lightly, he instinctively sensed that something was wrong. Doesn''t the poison work...? How could you do that! It''s unbelievable. But, there is no time to be surprised. No, stop! You can''t go any deeper! If it is now, it must be at a level that they can still endure. However, if it even passes through the place where the poison reaches its climax, there is no choice but to hand over the balmung. The vampires flew at the same time. ''After all, it seems like you don''t want to just let me go.'' Jinhyuk glanced back at him. The vampires that followed right up to the nape were about to wield a dark red sword. right then Kaaaah! someone intervened Elise''s right arm, Belus, and... It was Ophelia belonging to the Decassus. Leave the dwarfs to us. ...the grace was repaid with this. The two vampires spit out one word at a time. And then, at once, he swept away the clan of Decassus. Ophelia! You filthy traitor! Are you going to become Ataraxia''s dog? There was a roar of shouts that were full of evil, but Ophelia didn''t raise an eyebrow. As if they don''t want to be a long-term horse that is used and thrown away mercilessly. At first, I only thought that vampires are fucking leeches, but being on the same side is pretty reassuring. thanks. Jinhyuk nodded briefly. And without looking back, he hurled his body once more towards the place where the foot was located. Throb! Throb! The more he took, the more poisonous the poison grew. Even with ointment and venom, it was not easy to see ahead in the deep poison. Cool... Blood ran down his lips. Despite the many simulations and the number of cases, the reality was harsher than expected. indeed . Indigo grade relics are indigo grade relics, right? Jinhyuk managed to suppress the screaming muscles and took one more step towards the sword. Instinct sends a warning. I need to get out of here right now. If you stay in this hell for even a moment, you will die. However, Jinhyuk suppressed his instincts. If you get scared or give up here, all your efforts will go in vain. Above all else, Elise was fighting. ''Believing that I will succeed.'' I couldn''t let the wind go. It can last for a few tens of seconds at most. ''If more than that passes, it''s over.'' The sense of direction was already gone, but the memories of the past moved on their fingertips instead. blurred vision. Jinhyuk leaned against his unconscious and stretched out his hand. Black was not caught. His fingertips crossed the air in vain. Ugh... ugh. I could feel the fishy taste of iron in my mouth. Once again, once more. don''t give up It''s not over yet. do your best I stretch out my hand with all my might. There must be a balmung around here. But this time it was a failure. The last attempt to squeeze the power was in vain. swaying Jinhyuk''s body collapsed to the left. But right then. The handle of the sword touched the tip of the falling finger. OK. uuung! The mana of the player and the mana of the relic that had been dormant for many years resonated. [[Dragon Killer Sword] ''Balmung'' wakes up!] Balmung wriggled to find a new owner. At the same time, the poems that had been lying around disappeared like a lie. ''It''s a success... .'' Jinhyuk felt his mind clearing up and grabbed his feet even more tightly. Now, if you inject mana and get Balmung''s approval, that will determine the ownership of the relic. Yep, with this all the plans will come to a perfect end. Until I heard that voice right next to me. I thought so. Thank you. You moved as planned. Thanks to you, we are able to put an end to this damn fight. Whoops! Decasus'' fist hit Jinhyuk''s chest. It was exactly where the heart was. In an instant, all blood flow to the heart stopped. Ouch! The slow response is a natural result. Amulam held Balmung in his hand. The great sword that radiated anticipation drew a soft curve. Oh! It''s called Balmung. Indeed, it''s an ideal sword in my opinion. Hahaha! With this, you can win. Except for cancer. human! Elise immediately tried to run to Jinhyuk. However, Amulam was one step faster. Don''t move. Elise. If you do, this human will die. Balmung digs into Jinhyuk''s skin. If you put a little more force on your fingers, the neck will just be cut off. The situation has been completely reversed. how ? Jinhyuk raised his voice. My clan failed to reach Balmung, but I thought you would be different. I was sure you would find a way. All that was left was to summon a bloodhound and be patient. The moment you got Balmung, the hounds As Elise, I use the transfer technique to come to you. What a perfect plan, isn''t it? There were a lot of variables, but everything went exactly as planned. Purple. Didn''t you actually catch two rabbits at the same time? The fight ended in my victory, but it''s not worth it to let you die like this. The formulation of the ointment used to break through the Shidok and the recreating the right arm of the Giant Gods. It was a recipe for an ordinary player. Among them, there has never been a talented person like you." I''d be lying if I said I didn''t like it. Do you think I''m going to go under your...? Huhu. Of course not. But, those thoughts will all disappear after a while. I had no intention of having an opponent as a subordinate without any restrictions. Amulam scratched his wrist with his claw. That, that! You seem to know what this is. Then you will see how useless it is to rebel. I thought that red drops of blood would form, and then it fell on Jinhyuk''s lips. oath of the family. As the state''s authority to inscribe a direct imprint on the mind, the blood of the Demon God subject was obliged to swear eternal allegiance. " " Jinhyuk''s pupils were released. His face, without feeling any emotion, looked no different than a corpse waiting only for orders. Great. Amulam, who confirmed that the mind control was working properly, pointed to Elise, who was fighting the SS from afar. Now, kill Elise with your own hands. the punishment of the traitor. With that, all objectives here will be achieved. By the way. Whoops! The sharp pain from the back... It was a kind that Amulam had not expected at all. Amulam, who had been living for hundreds of thousands of eons, had no choice but to panic at the fact that he had completely broken common sense. Of course, it''s good to have the same clan. Previously, no matter how strong you were, you couldn''t do any damage, but now your hands are really good, right? Jinhyuk smiled brightly. The pupil, which had been released, returned to its original state as if it had been so. Rather, due to Gaju''s blood, all of the past wounds and fatigue had recovered. My... out of mind control? It can''t be. What the hell, how the hell! I''m sorry, but I''ve been through something more demanding than this. I have dealt with an enemy corresponding to the intent itself. When it comes to mind-based attacks, I''ve experienced it to the very bottom. Compared to that, that''s about it. I don''t know if the oath of the family was activated by injecting the maximum amount of mana into your blood, but it is your loss because you were distracted by the victory. Pretending to be ignorant of the conditions for achieving unique abilities. I almost lost all my goals because I pretended to be weak. With this, all the clumsy games are over. Elise approached in front, and Jinhyuk narrowed the siege from behind. Ugh! That''s right. As long as you have feet anyway, you can wipe out all four of them at once. I''m sorry, Balmung hasn''t chosen a master yet. What kind of nonsense is that again? Are you unable to see the feet here in your eyes? Well, do you have any idea? Since Siegfried''s death, no one has ever held a balmung in his hand. That guy. Yin''s energy doesn''t match his spirit. In other words. ''Blessing of the stars'' or ''mandala'' It means they have to have the same abilities. Balmung felt the warmth and bounced off Amulam''s hand. [The relic ''Balmung'' has chosen its owner!] The sword in his right hand roared wildly. [The unique ability ''Blood Explosion'' is activated!] In the left hand, the unique ability of the Decassian lord announced the first start. Again, the fight is over. You will die and the rest of the heads of state will be hit and regret for betraying Elise. No one else, I''ll make it happen. CH 253 . Ataraxia, Pureblood Empress (3) [Dragon Kill Sword, Balmung - Navy Blue] Acquisition Difficulty: Unmeasurable Attack: 35,500 Weight: 37 kg Durability: 58,000 / 160,000 effect: 1. Ignores defenses with abilities equal to or less than that of a relic. 2. Only divinity can deal 20% additional damage, and when dealing with dragons, attack power is doubled. (Passive effect: 3 minutes - The duration of the effect may increase depending on the skill level.) 3. Increases the physical ability of the target recognized by Balmung by 10% and speeds up wound healing. You can use the special active effect ''Reproduction of Myth''. ''Reproduction of Myth'' allows you to recreate the battle of Siegfried, who cut down Fafnir. (A certain level of understanding of Balmung is required.) The status window dyed in indigo was shining brighter than the status window of any item I had seen so far. A whopping 35,500 attack power. It is nothing compared to the twin dragon swords or fangs that we currently have. The fangs that were currently upgraded to blue level had only 5570 attack power. More than 6 times... . A gust of wind came out of Jinhyuk''s mouth. ''It''s crazy, really crazy.'' No matter how much the fangs focused on attack speed and lightness, the difference in attack power by 6 times was ''absurd''. The flame of flame obtained from Armorbreaker or Antrad also faded in front of Balmung. Above all, the effect of nearly doubling the attack power when dealing with dragons will become an indispensable item for climbing the upper floors of the tower. ''You''re finally getting this.'' Jinhyuk held his feet in his hand. uuung! Footmung vomited a pleasant resonance. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart was beating fast. this man. this feeling. Yes. This is the taste. This is the overwhelming sense of upliftment that the highest-grade relics give. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. At the same time, the blade was pointed forward. [The unique ability ''Star Blessing'' is activated!] [The unique ability ''Mandala'' is activated!] On the blade, white light and golden mist began to burn softly. Now is the time to put an end to this great chapter. KwaKwaKwabang! Whoops! The exploding drops of blood and the exploding drops of blood cancel each other out. The power was different, but the understanding of the blood was not much different. ''Hey, this is nonsense.'' Amulam''s face turned more and more earthy. I couldn''t believe that a human could use a bloodbomb. It was unacceptable that he had such a high level of use of blood. Furthermore. kwaaang! Balmung''s blade flashed, and Amulam''s body bounced several meters away. There was no such thing as a shield or anything else that could withstand the dragon''s sword. There is no better situation to say than this to avoid, not to block. Its unique ability to regenerate has long since faded. There was more and more blood flowing from the wound. What if I say that I''m already sick? I''m trying to get better now. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. Since he had acquired a new relic, his body felt as light as if he could fly away. Ugh...! It''s too much to say! Even if it wasn''t for Balmung, your arrogant bastard... Well, I''m not going to deny it. I''m sure the tempo is big. In Tower of Trials, we believe that the player''s experience and skills are superior to the performance of the item itself. ''Indigo'' When you reach the level, even ordinary people can fight boss monsters enough. Even more so, if a dead person gets that grade, it will only hurt your mouth if you say any more. But, if it''s unfair, why didn''t you buy a nice one too? What, what? When you get to Gaju, aren''t there a lot of things that you have piled up in the treasury? It wouldn''t have been this far if you had only brought a few from there. Isn''t this what happens because we believe in vampires'' unique physical abilities and come naked? "If I had only been properly armed you wouldn''t have dared to say such a thing." Yeah. I have a knife that can cut through the galaxy in every shoe cabinet, and I have a howling transparent dragon in the bathroom. Uhhhhhhhhhh! Angry Amulam shouted. Puff Puff Puff! Everything in front of him was dyed red, and then a huge explosion occurred. Now, without even calculating the escape route, they began to fire indiscriminately. Of course, Jinhyuk wasn''t the one to be attacked by such luck. ''Sword Demon King'' and ''Shallow Breath'' made quick and light movements. Tsutsu. Tuk! I wanted to brush the ground and get closer to Amulam. It quickly caught up with ''Shadow Kill''. Kaaan! Amulam reflexively swung his nails, but Jinhyuk had already disappeared. Jinhyeok, moving between shadows and shadows at high speed, continued to outwit Amulam. Wow! Amulam grinded his teeth. Ever since I came here, something has gone wrong. From one to ten, it''s full of things I don''t like. However, the important thing now was to survive this worst situation. In the field where it is not easy for even a single human being, there was even Elise who manifested her own holy spear, so any more fighting would be nothing but begging to be killed. He had lived so long that he even forgot his age. It was a natural life to reign in the highest position. I couldn''t just die in a place like this. Amulam''s gaze turned to the back. retreat. There was still a way out in the back. If you throw the rest away as a time delay, you''re just going out on your own... . possible. not possible. ''I''ve been acting like I''m excited and attacking randomly, so I wouldn''t expect it to run away.'' The worries didn''t last long. Bite it! Amulam gathered all the remaining mana. Kooong! Kung! Kung! Kurre! Bloodhounds made of blood rushed towards Jinhyuk and Elise. At the same time. Amulam moved backwards. The time required is only 1 second. For a head of state, 1 second was enough time to get out of here. However. "The cowardice has not changed from the past or now." A cold voice over Amulam''s head did not allow him to run away. A cursed vampire that descended from the sky summoned dozens of red skewers. Uh, how...? It passed your hound. Are you curious about that? Elise shrugged her shoulders as if nothing had happened. Didn''t I tell you. What you can do, I can do too. Amulam''s bloodhounds were bitten by other bloodhounds. Elise released the bloodhounds raised by the Ataraxia family. Kae-gaeng! ! I think my puppies are bigger. With this, the only possibility disappeared. [Elise activates ''Vladimir''s Harpoon''!] Puffy! kwaduk! Aww! Amulam, whose limbs were pierced, let out a scream of pain. However, no matter how hard he tried to turn into a bat, the wounded area only glowed red. No transformation was made. right at that moment. kwaang! Jinhyuk grabbed his feet and accelerated. The great sword scatters a dazzling sword light, and rushes towards Amulam''s heart. "To these insignificant creatures, I ! I-ah!" And that''s it. Scratch! These were the last words the head of Decassus left to this world. [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level is ] [ ] It''s up!] [You have acquired the ''Seal of Decasus''.] [All the divinities and the great powers of the upper levels will be aware of this event in a few hours!] [The power of ''Goin-Mul Corporation'' is rapidly growing from a small and medium-sized force to a medium-sized force!] With countless messages pouring in. One of the great Absolutes who ruled the upper floors of the tower has disappeared. Whoops! A chair adorned with soaring flames turned to ashes. Unbelievable. A sigh of disbelief escaped from the mouths of those who were sitting with the table in the middle. I had no choice but to do so. The fact that the chair burned down meant that the chair''s owner was destroyed. "Is it possible that the head of Decasus has failed?" Among them, the only woman with long black hair opened her mouth. Abigail von Levisita. He was the head of one of the great families, the Levisita. Since Amulam is dead, it must be considered a failure. Damn it! What the hell is this dog that the headmaster loses his life in the middle class! Because of the restrictions, I left all the relics here, so it must have been difficult to use all of my powers. Sending one household downstairs was a great adventure for us. Even so, this doesn''t make sense. There must be someone down there who can hurt the lord... The rest of the housekeepers also helped out one word at a time. The atmosphere darkened heavily. Even after paying a huge price, there was no income, no, rather, I lost even the head of the household who was proud to be the strongest. " " Even Exencion, who was to lead the Ataraxia family after Elise, kept her mouth shut. right then So, didn''t I warn you? There are people who can harm the landlords, so be careful. A goblin basking in the fireplace got up. Then, all eyes around him turned to the goblin. The Overmind of the Tower, which even the heads of households cannot treat lightly. It was Senior Manager Hasting. "Are you talking about that Kang Jin-hyuk?" Exencion asked. That''s right. He''s the one who got Alice out of the corridor and signed the contract. A senior manager overestimates that person. I know that Jinhyuk Kang is not normal, but it''s never enough to kill Gaju. If there is a possibility, it''s Elise''s side. Hmm. I think you''re underestimating him too much? Think about it. Elise can''t be a factor in the past or the present. Even in his heyday, when he was so strong, he was eventually suppressed and sealed by the heads of state. In the present, which is far from reaching the strength of the past, there must be a way to subdue it somehow if you wish. However. "Kang Jinhyuk is different." It doesn''t just mean fighting power. The power to force the premise of victory under given conditions. The ability to turn even a disadvantage into an advantage. That was the biggest reason to be afraid of Jinhyuk. Perhaps, if we leave it as it is, the housekeepers here may also be killed by that human hand. The probability will increase as time goes on. the death of the landlords. That absurd assumption came out so easily. Now say that...! Are you saying we''re going to be beaten by a single human? stop! Naturally, the heads of state tried to protest, but Exencion dismissed the complaint with a single blow. ...I don''t think we''re just saying these words to scratch our nerves, and it seems like you have something to say. Okay, the new head of Ataraxia makes a lot of sense. Actually, there is one thing I have in mind. Your method has failed, so this time, I''ll do it my own way and make a Treasured sword. It will take some time, but it''s worth the effort and effort. It will be worth the time." Hasting slowly began to tell the plan. And . As the story progressed, the faces of the heads of state changed drastically. It was such a shocking plan, I had no choice but to listen while swallowing dry saliva. no see. Finally, Hasting came to an end. indeed . If that''s the case, I might be able to catch two rabbits at once. I agree. I''ll do anything as long as I can chew on the bastards who showed us teeth. Everyone nodded. Only one. Except for Exencion. I admit the plan is good, but why are you helping us, the keeper of the tower''s balance? Managers are those who maintain neutrality and take on the role of managing the Tower of Trials so that it can survive. So, I couldn''t understand why Hasting was trying so hard to intervene. OK. I''m defending the balance of the tower right now, harder than ever. Hasting smiled indefinitely. CH 254 . Vlog daily life in Europe (1) Three days have passed since the eventful night of drinking. Although the Empire and the Moorim were still at war, they declared a brief truce in order to recover each other''s strength. It will take at least a few weeks to recover from damage from the Demon Clan''s raids and regroup. And Jinhyeok was busy taking care of the things he had accumulated for three days without opening his eyes. The fortress of the giants was also guaranteed the status of a principality, but it was because there were not one or two things that had to be done to manage the estate. Balmung also had a lot of durability, so it needed repair. Fortunately, Orun, the dwarven blacksmith, decided to take over this task. willingly, very voluntarily. -Hey, you want me to fix this huge thing? -Yes. If it''s Orun-nim, I think I can trust you. The durability has worn out quite a bit, so please be careful. When you''re done, don''t forget to hand it over to my subspace inventory coordinates. - Well, then, what if I break it? -Then, you have to pay it back with your body. Oh. Don''t worry too much. I will never kill you or kill you until you pay it all off. You don''t have to worry about it at all, as I''ll only eat one meal a day in a closet that doesn''t get any sunlight and will only make you hit a hammer. - . It''s a bonus that warm conversations came and went. After finishing his work in the Empire, Jin-hyeok got on a plane heading to Europe. Originally, they had planned to relax in Korea before attacking the 15th floor, but at Teresa''s earnest recommendation, the party decided to visit Teresa''s hometown in Europe. Jinhyuk, Ellis, Andria, Ophelia, Wolyeong, and Cheon Yuseong took the Rolls-Royce Ghost that met them at the airport and went through the city center to a quiet suburb. With a time lag, Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min also joined, so everyone who can be called the main member is gathering. how far did you run? The place where the car stopped was a place where Mother Nature harmonized. Wow... Oh. Hey. The real rich are rich. Exclamations broke out from everyone''s mouths. The three-story mansion near the entrance was built entirely of white marble. From antique fragment statues to wooden pavilions and a small lake made around them. Indeed, it is not for nothing that the word ''recognized famous singer in Europe'' comes out of nowhere. right then Everyone is here... Ah. But what are you all doing in front of our house, Alessandro? Theresa tilted her head and approached her. "Alexand what?" Alexandro. Jinhyuk-nim knows it too. I gave it myself... Alessandro. As for Alessandro... . no way ? Oh! Now I know. The hamster you sold to me. No, wait, then, is this house a hamster house? This huge mansion? is it real? If it were a continent, would it be possible to live in three generations, as well as the people living next door to the in-laws of the in-laws? Yes. My child likes a spacious place. It''s like this because we''re trying to raise him freely. Theresa smiled mischievously. When I looked closely, I saw a picture of a hamster with a solemn expression holding a sunflower seed in the center of the mansion. A golden crown and red fur cloak. That''s right, Alexander II. Wow, what kind of hamster house... Oh my God, I was living in a place smaller than a hamster. Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min opened their mouths. " " Even Cheon Yoo-seong''s eyebrows curled backwards as if in bewilderment. When everyone''s eyes focused on Teresa''s wealth, Elise, who was next to her, inflated the ball. cackle. A sharp finger pricked Jinhyuk''s side. why? The palace I used to live in is much bigger and more majestic than here. There is a statue just made of bats. Pegasus runs around in the garden, right? Not some jealous little kid. It''s a no-brainer to whimper next to you. I wondered if it was the same person as Jinjo, who was so lofty and strong a few days ago. Okay. Be sure to take a look at your house later. Jinhyuk smiled and stroked Elise''s hair. mosquito! The sweet potato also blinked amber eyes, wondering if he was envious of Alessandro''s picture. Ummm. Okay, our Kuma too, I''ll make a nice picture frame next time. It''s much bigger than that. No matter what, you have the face of an ancient species. You can''t get behind a single hamster. How long did you walk while looking at the surrounding scenery? After a long time from the main gate, I was able to arrive at the place where Teresa''s home was. A large mansion that was completely different from what it was before. The end of the mansion that extends beyond the edge of the forest is almost invisible. ''Even the richest people in the Middle East say they fold a little, and it was true.'' Rosenberg, who had been from a family from a prestigious aristocratic family, and possessed magic crystal refining technology after the appearance of the Tower of Trials, was truly running on the flower path. On top of that, Teresa saved Amsterdam from Outbreak and is performing brilliantly in the tower, so it''s like wings flying on a tiger''s back. Oh! I''ve been waiting. Welcome everyone. A good-looking middle-aged man came out to meet him. I''m Teresa''s father. Feel free to call me Dustin. Haha. Dustin de Rosenberg. Yes. This man is Teresa''s father, whom you often see on the news. Nice to meet you. My name is Jinhyuk Kang. Jinhyuk responded with a bright smile, followed by Elise, Cheon Yoosung, and the rest of the party briefly introducing themselves. It''s an honor to be able to meet celebrities you''ve only seen in the Hall of Fame or Viewtube in person like this. Do you know us? Of course. Is there anyone living in this era who doesn''t know about the Go-Min Corporation? Especially, if you say that player Jin-hyuk Kang is a famous person who is more widely known than any other ranker, because he saved the whole of Europe from Lich. That''s right. Thinking of something, Dustin pulled a letter out of his arms. "Look at my mind. I was so excited that I almost forgot this. This is a letter of thanks written by the British Prime Minister himself. This is a letter that the President of France has asked to deliver. Not only this, but the whole of Europe is sincerely grateful to player Jinhyuk Kang. Thank you. A pile of letters pouring down. Well. I didn''t know about it because I was only spending it on the top of the tower. It seems that the name is well known. When you see the representatives of each country come forward like this. Jinhyuk''s lips twisted slightly. what. ''Thanks is a fake, and I want to build a network with me through Dustin... This must be the true intention.'' understand it Because the influence of rankers who can play an active role in the tower had a greater ripple effect than the army. I was just doing something that was natural. I don''t know where to put myself because you''re thinking like this. Haha. As far as being humble. Of course, the top rankers are different. I really crave it. I''m greedy... . After all, are you planning to join the European side of the guild? I had already received this kind of scouting offer many times, so it was not a big deal. But in the next sentence. How do you feel about having a serious meeting with our youngest daughter by the way? I can say it with my own words, but I can confidently say that Teresa won''t fall for anything she puts on it. I don''t think so. Even Jin-hyeok, who had gone through all the prenatal care, couldn''t help but be embarrassed. Yes? father! no! Three voices rang out at the same time. It was Jinhyeok with a blank expression, Teresa with red cheeks, and Alice with her fangs exposed. I came here because I wanted to rest my heart, but it seems like everything is wrong. He clicked his tongue as if he was tired. Wow. Hehe. Only Andrea''s eyes shone brightly, and he watched the scene like a morning drama with interest. One storm passed by Dustin''s bombshell remarks. It was the first time I had seen Teresa so embarrassed, and I had never seen Elise so angry. I don''t know the exact reason, but I''m worried about the contractor breaking the contract because he''s preoccupied with marriage and other things. Father... let''s talk with me alone. Jinhyuk-san. I''m really sorry. My father said something strange for nothing... Uh-huh. Haven''t you always said good things about player Kang Jin-hyuk? He said that there is no one he likes so much, but if there is someone like this, you have to catch him right away. Please seriously consider player Jin-hyuk Kang. It will never do any harm. This time, we found a new technology that strengthens weapons through magic crystals... father! The case ended with Dustin being semi-forced to be dragged away by Teresa. After that, the party decided to have free time to look around the mansion until dinner. Elise, who was in a lot of pain, disappeared. Cheon Yu-seong sat in the pavilion overlooking the lake and fell in love with the anatomy and osteology PPT stored on the I-pad. And Jinhyuk... . I went alone in the middle of the forest. ''Is this enough?'' The most important things to do after the raid remained. It is to confirm growth and reward. ''Taemin and Yeonhwa told me to come back in 30 minutes, so I''ll have to check it out sooner than that.'' first. Jinhyuk activated the personal status window. T-tiring!

When he saw the unique abilities and skills that he had suffered in the past, a happy smile appeared on Jinhyuk''s lips. ''As expected, the experience points given to the head of state are different.'' A whopping 8 levels. Decasus was dealt with and 24 points of stats were secured. Considering that the level is now close to three digits, there is nothing else to say except that it is absurd that 8 levels have risen at once. ''If you want to deal with Balmung, you have to properly distribute the points for strength.'' [Strength increases from 89 to 101.] [mana rises from 221 233.] great. With this, the stat point distribution is over. Next, it''s time to check out the long-awaited reward. Jinhyuk''s gaze turned to the red accessory that was just taken out of the subspace inventory. Seal of Decassus. Honestly, I didn''t expect this to come out. In the past, there had been times when I had hunted the head class, but that was only in the official raid after the 40th floor. It was the first time they had faced each other in such an unfavorable condition. ''So the reward must have come out commensurate with it.'' The seal of Decassus not only gives you control over all vampires belonging to the Decasus family, but also makes you have the authority equivalent to that of the head of state. In a word, it means that a new family member has been born. However, the true value of this seal did not stop there. A relic used by Amulam during his lifetime. To be able to bring the strongest Artifact comparable to the original vocal spear away from the floor to which it belongs... . This was the reason why this seal was more overwhelming than any other reward. Whoa. Jinhyuk calmed his trembling heart. Mana flowed down the fingertips into the seal. At the same time. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo [''Seal of Decassus'' is activated!] A dazzling light flickered. CH 255 . Vlog daily life in Europe (2) ugh play! The dimensional rift cracked, revealing a purple-colored space. It was the gate leading to Amulam''s personal warehouse. ''Now is the time to choose.'' If you go to the 40th floor and use the seal, you can use all the relics that Amulam used. However, if you force an item on the upper floor to manifest out of the lower floor or tower, you can only bring one relic. ''The rest are meant to be destroyed in return.'' In other words, decide whether you want to use the good ones now or wait and use them all later. And the best answer in this situation is . The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. ''Of course, I don''t throw anything away.'' Why would you give up one or the other? Is it enough to bring one of the relics here and use it well and use the rest on the 40th floor? They''re stupid vampires, absolutely trusting and following the system, I never imagined there would be any other way. In fact, even the seemingly perfect system had loopholes. A very fatal loophole. [[Triple Ability Triple Magic -] ''Infinite Magic'' is activated.] A magic circle engraved with ancient runes appeared around Jinhyuk. One, two, three. Each of the three magic circles was red, blue, and green. [The unique ability ''Blood Magic'' will bloom.] A whirlpool of mysterious light appeared above the red magic circle. Here, the ''mental barrier'' that was expressed on the green magic circle was wrapped around the entire hyeolmagi. Just like packaging, so that the energy of the hyeolmagi can be maintained for as long as possible. finally. [Lv13 ''Glacier Formation'' is activated.] I started to freeze the whole pile I made. A chill rose along the blue magic circle, and the ice gradually created the shape of a sword. The ''mental barrier'' and ''glacier modeling'' emit the dark demonic energy of the blood magic machine as it is, but reproduce the vampire''s unique scent. Other mana served as a yard to thoroughly filter out. Whoa. Jinhyuk let out a long sigh. I didn''t even know how focused I was on the meticulously calculated work, or the cold sweat running down my forehead. still. finally finished ''If this is the case, we can fool the system at least once.'' By the time the system feels uncomfortable and tries to compensate for the error, it will have already achieved all its desired goals. So let''s see where to change what? Jinhyuk looked through the items in the gap. A ring and necklace, a rapier, an old book, and a picture framed. The three in the front are things I''ve seen before, but the two in the back are things that even Jinhyuk has seen for the first time. ''It would be nice to check and choose, but it''s a bit disappointing that it doesn''t.'' Just by activating the Eye of Gluttony is considered to have made a choice, so this part should be left to luck and intuition. Again, it is safe to choose items that you already know the stats and performance of. If this is the case, at least the minimum value of using the seal can be secured. But right then. ...!? Something caught Jinhyuk''s eyes. picture in a frame. To be precise, the text in one corner of the picture caught my eye. A character composed of multiple structures that is much more esoteric and complex than the existing ancient runes. It''s a ''lost language''. Moreover, when I looked closely, the landscape in the painting looked like it had been seen from somewhere. A landscape painting that reproduces reality, not imagination. '' It wasn''t just a picture.'' Yes. This is not a picture. Rather, it should be viewed as closer to a map. Showing where the lost language is. To be able to discover one of the tower''s secrets that you''ve been trying to find so much. There was no need to worry. Jinhyeok swapped pictures with a dummy made of ice. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The system let out a strange resonance, but only for a brief moment. [[Masterpiece] You have acquired ''A place where silence permeates''] [Where silence permeates] Acquisition Difficulty: Unmeasurable Description: This painting is in the possession of the Decasian owner, Amulam de Decassus. It is a landscape painting of which part of the tower, but its exact location is not known. Only those with certain abilities will be able to see the true value of this painting. The fact that only those with certain abilities can appreciate it... . In other words, it means that one must have the ability to interpret the runes. To be precise, you should know that this language is a lost language. It''s in several multiple runes, so I don''t know exactly what these characters mean. ''fire''. Some of the runes were clearly written that way. It must have been aimed at the point that, in common sense, he did not do crazy things to set the painting on fire. ''Well, there is no fool who burns such expensive items.'' Jinhyuk concentrated mana on his fingertips. Whoops! ''The flame of the beginning gnawed at the edges of the painting. Then at that very moment. Like a lie, the landscape in the picture began to change. The forests and plains where the sun shone disappear. In its place appeared a place with 12 black pillars standing tall. '' here is.'' And where it changed. It was a place that Jinhyuk knew too. 30 minutes later. Jinhyuk gathered the scattered companions in one place. From now on, Yeonhwa and Taemin are going to take a simple test. It''s not grandiose, you just need to sparring with the person I designate. One each? No, the two of you should form a team. You''ve been working together all this time, haven''t you? In the future, the two also had to play an important role in climbing the tower, so it was necessary to check how much they had grown so far. I was also thinking of making a promotional video for the deceased corporation. ''Since the force has grown to a medium-sized class, it is necessary to have a main video and homepage suitable for it.'' Yes. Promotion of the company. Actually, this is the most important thing. It must have been sponsored by a nice place, and the cast must have been gorgeous. There could be no better conditions than this, since it could be covered with the production cost and passion pay. Most of all, I liked the fact that the people here are unaware that they are appearing in the company''s promotional video. Of course, with time, everyone will realize that they are being exploited, but by then they will have already fallen into the depths of hell. Are you really okay? It''d be difficult with just one person against the two of us, right? "Hyung. Can''t we think of it as the old us? The number of labyrinths that Yeonhwa and Noona attacked together is a double-digit number." Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min confidently stepped forward. exactly The energy I felt from the two of them was completely different from before. I remember the video that was ranked at the top of the ''strongest duo'' selected by the Tower of Trials community. After all, there was a line of comments saying that the deceased in Korea are different. if so . Andrea. Jinhyuk called out Andria, who was next to him. Am I? Yes. It''s okay to use ''Fox Bead''. ...Yes. I''ll give it a try. Andria nodded her head. [Andria used the ''Nine-tailed fox'', a beastly creature!] slurp... . Nine rich tails filled with flames grew from Andria''s back. Pointed ears sprouted above his head, and the color of his pupils was also dyed yellow. this is awesome I could already feel the number of views soaring with my whole body. On the other hand. ...Taemin-ah. Yeah. I can see why hyung told us to face each other together. The smiles disappeared from the faces of Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min. It was instinctively felt. That the numerical superiority of two people can never guarantee victory. kukukuku! The clear and clean mana began to aggregate on both arms and legs of Yoo Yeon-hwa. The spirit of the refined Taecheong Hwarang Simbeop soon took full form. A fighter who boasts excellent ability in close combat. kwaang! Yoo Yeon-hwa left her seat and ran forward. [[Lee Tae-min''s unique ability ''Machine Lord''] - Activate ''Apocalypse Guardian''!] Taemin Lee also used his abilities. Chunkyung! Lee Tae-min''s whole body was surrounded by silver armor. hoo. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. Unlike the previous use of drones and small turrets, it is a method that allows the caster to directly engage in battle. It is similar to the structure of the Titan seen in the Empire. ''Taemin seems to have learned quite a lot of machine lord abilities during that time.'' This gets more and more interesting. It would be perfect as a prologue video if only plausible narration was inserted into the awesome BGM. Jinhyuk recorded every scene without exception. How many hours have passed since then? The gardens of the Rosenberg mansion were unfolding quite a scene. My, I... The last sword of the Koin Corporation. That''s the swordsong Chun. Yu. Seong... I''ve been saying the same thing and sulking! God damn it! Why the hell do I have to do this! He threw away the sword he was holding. My heart was pounding with anger. I''m not proficient at all. Is the scene where you draw your sword work really well? If you set the mood and raise your voice, the number of hits can go to heaven. Don''t be ridiculous. It''s obvious that you''re all doing good things anyway, so there''s no reason for me to do such a shameful thing. Cheon Yoosung drew the line relentlessly. Hmm . I can''t. Wolyoung-ah. Let''s play the role of swordsman instead. Are you talking about me, sir? Yeah. Actually, there''s nothing you can do about your skills or looks, so it''s enough. No, your skills are probably higher than yours, right? Jinhyuk glanced at Cheon Yoosung. The fact that his face has turned to earthy color seems to have been very well received. I''m... behind my skills? It must be official. Because this video is also a video that organizes the hierarchy of our company. Wolyeong will take on the role of the swordsman from now on, and you do it like the 3rd Pozzol passing by. If the main character swings a sword, he gets hit from afar and dies. The extras out of the extras that appear on the screen for about a second are perfect. Ouch! Get out of the way. I''ll do it. Cheon Yu-seong grabbed the sword again. I knew it. As expected. It is said that Hankuk University will also start classes soon, but you would want to avoid being introduced as Possol 3 in front of the students, no matter how natural you are. right then Jinhyuk''s eyes turned to the other side. There, there were sweet potatoes and spirit beasts posing in line with Oh. Earth. fire . The wind... Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. There was no strength in the exhausted voice. Since we are already collaborating with the 78th Spirit Special Forces Ancient Species flight video, we can''t help but get tired of it. Due to the repeated NG, black smoke was rising from Salamander''s mouth instead of flames. The body of the gnome had turned into damp mud instead of dry, damp soil. However. No, that''s not it. Let''s do it again with more passion and fighting. That''s why. It''s a little more intense and impactful. It''s like fireworks exploding, but also grandly and majestic. Also beautiful and colorful. right? Jinhyuk applauded and demanded the 79th shoot. In the end, Sylphid, who could not stand it, took the lead. Lord, master. We feel like we are going to die. Spirits have the right to work 50 hours a week and take a 10-minute break after 1 hour of work. You want to rest? Yes. There was another kid who said that just an hour ago. Don''t you guys wonder why Undine isn''t visible? Jinhyuk smiled brightly. Undine, the water spirit. Come to think of it, one of the Spirit Beasts'' seats was empty. Wow, where is Undine, master? Are you resting comfortably? Hmm. What should I say? Answer me, Master. Where is Undine now? He said he''d rather die if he died, and he wouldn''t do it any more. Like a water spirit, he said he wanted to relax in the flowing water. So I let him rest. right in front of the lake. By the way. On the surface of the lake, which should have been calm, rough waves began to rumble violently. Master. Why are there waves in the lake? The salamander flapped his tongue. That''s it. I released ''Blood Piranha'' to eat at mealtime. The blood piranha is a specialty that can only be seen in the tower, which has the trait of getting firmer as it moves vigorously. And maybe Undine is playing tag in there. Hey profit...! Lord, master! Hey. I think you heard Undine''s screams? It''s an illusion. Undine is resting comfortably now. Of course, if you''re curious about how comfortable it is, I''ll let you guys rest too. " " I like filming. It''s been my dream to become a superstar in the spirit world. me too! Hehe. I want to shoot again soon. There were no more complaints from the spirit beasts. Everyone was sweating profusely and began to debate hard about how to create more perfect poses and scenes. CH 256 . Vlog daily life in Europe (3) While everyone is concentrating on the promotional video. Jinhyuk approached Elise, who was vomiting in one corner. I don''t know what the complaint was, but Elise was talking to herself while constantly muttering. "Chi I I have " Elise. why? Alice still responded with a sullen expression. I have a favor to ask of you. A request? To me? At the word of the request, Elise''s eyes widened. Yeah. From now on, I''m going to do a live broadcast. If you talk and do missions, the viewers will support you with coins. Since the financial crisis is serious right now, go and get some coins. creepy The air changed rapidly. In fact, I was expecting this kind of reaction if I said this. Are you saying that this body, the noble of the night, should make fun of you in front of insignificant humans? Elise snorted with a surprised face. Hmm. I can''t. Then, I''ll have to ask Theresa-san. what? I think it would be better for the viewers to be more sassy than tik tok. It''s better to be like this in the past. A saint with an innocent and warm smile. If you do something like life trouble counseling content, you will be able to monopolize the interest of viewers. - Life is very difficult these days. I can''t see the future and every day is bleak. -Tell me everything. I can''t do anything other than listen, but I can at least listen to the story until the end. big It feels like my cold heart is beating again. It''s like angels blowing their trumpets above their heads and sprinkling pollen? The saint who saved Amsterdam for nothing is not popular with everyone. Profit! I''ll do it. You can do it! I can''t lose to that blonde idiot. Alice stood in front of the broadcasting system. I only see a blue screen, what should I do? Hold on a minute. I posted the notice, so people will come in soon. [Kang Jin-hyuk''s outdoor broadcast #Healing #Consultation for worries #Departed People_Corporation #I do_anything_if you want!] I already posted a notice a few minutes ago. It was my first announcement after leaving BJ, so it was pretty bland. At that time, even if I posted an announcement, I was happy to see 20 people . How are you now? -Conan: The advance squad is leaving. As soon as he finished speaking, the first viewer came in. Immediately after, in less than a second, hundreds of viewers flocked like bees to watch Jinhyuk''s live broadcast. [Conan has left the show.] -Q: Conan again? -US: He always comes in as the first group and goes out on the air. I didn''t know it would happen in this room. -als: By the way, I came in because Jinhyuk was doing a live broadcast, so why are you waiting for the broadcast? Isn''t this fishing? The screen is dark and I can only see the chat window, so I''m going to die of frustration. -AZXCY: I checked the broadcasting station''s account, but it''s the same person. Wow. But really, how long is this live broadcast? What did you do live for? -Jeun-Won Jeong: Thinking about seeing Jin-Hyeok''s face makes my heart magnify. Since I''ve only uploaded edited videos, viewers couldn''t believe the live broadcast. Due to anticipation, the chat window became faster and faster. What kind of great raid are you going to present? How splendid treasures and artifacts will be shown. Or, are you trying to explore a labyrinth or ruins that no one has been to? I was curious about it like crazy. How many minutes have passed? [Number of viewers connected: 175,880] When enough viewers gathered within a short period of time. The screen that had been blacked out finally turned on. What appeared was an arrogant vampire with silver hair as white as snow hanging down to her waist. It was Elise. The bright red pupil was full of dissatisfaction, but even that expression was a shock to the viewers. A mysterious ranker who had only seen the edited version. Although he had shown numerous performances, he finally met a girl whose name was known only to be Elise, but who did not know exactly who she was. The disappointment of not seeing Jinhyeok soon disappeared. Viewers who saw Elise started chatting. -I want to eat Yeoptteok: No, where is Jinhyuk going? Yes? Wait, where is the face you see a lot? -Giant dumplings: Huh! Are you Alice? it''s real It''s Elise. -tmd: and whh. What''s wrong with this? It''s amazing that Jinhyuk went on a live broadcast, but he''s also hired guests to come. -hi: Elha elha. It means Elise High. -rub: Noona! i die! -Today''s Wendy: This is enough to threaten to vomit out all the coins you have. Do I have to take all the goblins and give them away? -(dark): Elise is the future wife! -Cat Butler Dream: Accept this time. The chat window bursting like crazy is hard to catch up with even with Jinjo''s eyes. "Hey, this human? This is something too fast. Why is everyone saying it''s nice to see me?" Don''t look at me. Look at the viewers. Don''t look at this, you idiot! Huh? I see. Front. The front is where the eyes are facing. Jim is looking ahead. Read the chat window as much as possible and say that if there''s a mission, you''ll do it. Oh, I see. Wait a minute. Alice read the chat window with her rabbit eyes open. Ugh... It was so fast that I couldn''t read all the comments, but I was able to identify a few of the missions that had coins. moo: It''s boring to be embarrassed. If you wear cat ears, you will be charged 2,000 coins. lmg: get 1,000 more coins Dolduni: Yes there is a double there. Kim Ki-beom: Play an idol song and dance for 3 minutes. 1,000 coins per minute? thelode1: I''d love to hear a fucking wake-up call. Record it and wake up listening to it every morning. I''m willing to invest 4,000 coins. (isio): It looks like you might like mint chocolate, but if you eat the whole family size by yourself, it costs 5,000 coins. antimony51: Coin enter, open your mouth! Oh, don''t be ridiculous! This body, the noble of the night and the absolute absolute of the tower... can''t sell her nobility for just a few coins. In the name of Ataraxia, never. You can''t even die! Alice stepped back with a pale face. Even if a knife is put in his throat, it''s as if he can''t do that much. sure. I will accept everything. Jinhyuk wasn''t the one who would refuse to take a coin. Hey. That''s what I do. Why are you accepting what you want? Sun. Ha, but... Sun. In the end, Elise was forced to perform all the missions suggested by the viewers. Well. I thought it was like cat ears or dance. The wake-up call and mint chocolate seem a bit harsh. Still, it''s true that those cosplayers go well together. In fact, the reaction from the audience was also very good. You worked hard. I don''t know about other people, but I think we got along really well. I thought he only had an arrogant side, but surprisingly, he also had a cute side. really? Huh. Elise''s eyes twinkled brightly. It''s an added bonus that what was gloomy a while ago disappeared like a lie. That was then. Ugh. With a strange sound, a new person approached Jinhyuk. It''s Teresa. By the way. Theresa''s appearance was something different from her usual one. The makeup is thick and The clothes he was wearing were also very revealing. Above all, the atmosphere was quite heterogeneous. ''This feeling... no way?'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. no doubt Teresa when she changed her personality using Corruption. "Soonding is young, so I went out on my own, but is the person concerned about the other side?" A bewitching voice pierced my ears. Tere...Sa-san? gulp Dry saliva ran down Jinhyuk''s neck. -Kkio: ? ?. This dude is hot too. -Abyssal Black Flame Dragon: Haha. I never looked away. -Cookie restaurant: I''m going to buy all Saints'' Coins. -Rule: 22222. -Kana: 33333 -Akdongakdong: Jinhyuk S2 Teresa What. Was it on the air? Teresa''s gaze flickered between the status window and the chat. Huh. It''s 100,000 coins. It''s not bad. But if you asked me instead of this little boy, I would have made you 10 times more coins, but it''s a pity. Theresa stroked Jinhyuk''s cheeks with her fingertips. Kid, kid? Kid? Oh my God. Would that be too rude to say? But, who knows, wouldn''t that be true? Lord... it''s dead. I''m going to tear it apart! Suddenly, Teresa broke into the live broadcast and turned into a battlefield. -Abyssal Black Flame Dragon: lol. This used to be a restaurant. -Anz: Ah. Today, Goin-Mul Corporation is peaceful. -Sla: 6,000 coins for Elise''s victory. -Jung Yoon-hee: 7,000 for Teresa''s sister''s victory! -Seunghee Seo: In the midst of this, Jinhyuk doesn''t even stop him. look at that Do you see that the bet amount is written separately? Aww! Whoops! Ground exploding with red rain. Elise, who opened her own holy spear, and Teresa, who wrapped her body in black armor, felt like seeing the Demon King and the cursed warrior at the end of the worldview. It was quite unfortunate that the hard-prepared food turned to ashes, but... . nevertheless. '' It''s salty.'' Jinhyuk was smiling. Because the coins received as a sponsor of this live broadcast exceeded 400,000 coins. And because the promotional video of Goin Corporation produced will earn more than that. I couldn''t help but laugh. The eventful week of vacation is over. A lot of things happened, but looking back, it wasn''t a bad vacation. Because we were able to spend a close time together laughing and talking. The bond between them would have deepened that much. There''s only one thing, and if it''s the hardest part, it''s the hardest part about refusing Teresa''s father, Dustin, who was trying to get her to get engaged. After that, the party all dispersed. Cheon Yu-seong left for the labyrinth located outside the 15th floor in order to acquire the skills that only cultivators can obtain, and Teresa also followed up to help Cheon Yu-seong. Andria said she had been away from the psychiatric ward for too long and went back to the floor she was managing. Sweet potatoes and spirit beasts are also manifesting, so you will have to take a break for at least a few days due to excessive use of mana. and currently. Jinhyuk arrived at the most infamous place on the 15th floor. It is the ruins where the Wailing Witch resides. Jinhyuk, who was located about 1km from the entrance of the ruins, looked around slowly. ''I''m coming back here again after a long time.'' The feeling is quite new. The first time the Tower of Trials came to life and I was wandering in the labyrinth where the minotaur was, it felt like yesterday. Because we had already reached the 15th floor. Of course, there was a long way to go in the future, but the fact that he was conquering the floor step by step was very encouraging. That was then. Hyung. I bought everything you asked me to buy. Food, sleeping bags, and ... inexpensive weapons and scrap metal were also purchased from the blacksmith. Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa approached. Because the place where the Wailing Witch resides is so huge, there are many things to prepare. You''ve worked hard. When you''re done, let''s go inside. Oh, hyung, but... you know. Taemin frowned as if he had something to say. Why, what''s wrong? "I think the competition in the ruins will be quite fierce." Fierce. What does that mean? When Jinhyuk asked, Yoo Yeonhwa added a word this time. Other guilds are taking their seats first. It seems like three or more were holding hands, not one. I saw some familiar faces. No way. The rest of the players wouldn''t have the specs yet to come to the 15th floor, would they? Before coming here, I skimmed through the Top of Trials community and the top-ranked videos of Viewtube, but nothing particularly stood out. Even large guilds were only able to attack the B-class dungeons on the 13th and 14th floors. That''s... . ''Or recklessly taking on a challenge.'' or. ''Even with the current power, it is worth aiming for this place. [Evidence has been established.''] one of the two Either way, there must have been some pretty interesting variables. It was a situation where we had to compete for the Wailing Witch. Of course, how you use this variable depends entirely on one thing. So, where is that guild? Jinhyuk opened his mouth. CH 257 . 15th Floor, Wailing Witch (1) There''s a hot ranker these days called Nirasha from India. It''s the most widely known monster after Namgungcheon. Nira Shara... . The expected name came out. "Rumors say that you and your brother had a match in the Empire?" There''s a little bit of history. And again? Aside from that, Dangun and Olympus moved. Dangun sent a new ranker, Park Jeongjin, and in Olympus, a mage named Maria is leading the raid. They are all prominent rankers. Gandhara, Dangun, Olympus. The union of three huge guilds. The information I heard through Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min was quite interesting. Because it meant that those who were called corpses had their noses broken if they didn''t take pride. ''Indeed, you can''t do it alone, so the three of you are going to try it together.'' Jinhyuk''s lips twisted slightly. Anyway, one idea is ridiculously simple. Ruins with the Wailing Witch aren''t something that can be cleared simply by having a lot of them. Still, finding this place would mean that we hired a person who had played Tower of Trials for a long time. Did anything else stand out? Oh. There was one more thing. I found out through an acquaintance, and they said that they posted a notice that only subscribers could see. They said they would attack this place. But, it seems that they are only drinking water. The date of posting the notice is well 5 A day ago? Noona is right. The main forces are still waiting outside the ruins. The healers seem to be busy treating the wounded even now. Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min added one word at a time. ''With the fussing raid... continued failure. Even the characteristics of the ruins with the Wailing Witch.'' This is going to be fun Perhaps a more effective attack than previously planned is possible. From now on, listen carefully to what I have to say. The risk will be quite high, but... . Does not matter. Because there are strong friends right there who can solve it. tuk. tuk. Tuk... kwaang! The regular sound soon became a huge explosion and resounded. The table was split into dozens of fragments and bounced in all directions. Ha ha ha ha ha. His face turned red from anger and shame. It was Nirasha, the leader of Gandhara and a ranker called the ceiling of India. With a sudden roar, a muscular man entered the tent. Master... are you okay? Go away. However ! Can''t you see we''re having a meeting? Get out! Oh, I see. It is not at a level where Nirasha''s planting is uncomfortable. I had no choice but to do so. Ever since the arrival of the Tower of Trials. It was Nirasha, who had never experienced a single despair or disappointment. No, thanks to holding the two hilts of the caste system and the chaebol, which still remain as customary, Nirasha has lived a life of guaranteed success from the moment she was born. By the way. What the hell kind of dog is this? It''s been 5 days since I came here, but instead of going inside, I was only breathing in my stomach from the entrance every time. With a confident alliance raid, it''s not the only thing that''s wrinkled even if you''ve lost your face. I understand that you are angry, but nothing will change from this point on. Above all, you knew from the beginning that it wouldn''t be easy, didn''t you? The man at the edge of the tent opened his mouth. It was Park Jeong-jin, a ranker who led the Dangun Guild''s raid. Next to him was Mary from Olympus. I''ll have to clean it up a bit. Maria let out a small sigh and swung the staff. uuung! The shattered table was restored to its original state. Player Park Jeong-jin is right. The important thing right now is not to be angry at failure, but how to make the raid successful in the future. It''s to find the answer. Rather, it''s better to spend time and attack the main route as planned... The main gate? Is it the main gate? Maria-sama, do you know? How long will it take to go to the main gate? According to Jeongseok-daero, the safest way to attack the ruins was to use the road through the main gate. However, the raid tried to attack through the bypass route rather than the front. As a result of scanning the interior with long-range detection magic, it was because the road from the front door to the boss room was too long. at least one month. No, I didn''t know it might take more than that. We have to somehow defeat the Gate Guardian and secure the shortest route. If we drag it again this time, people around the world will see our large guild as a complete fool. Of course, this statement is a bit misleading. It''s because the giant guilds weren''t just playing and eating until now. Somehow, he climbed the tower, explored labyrinths and ruins, and worked hard to build a reputation. As a result. We were able to successfully attack the fairly large places on the 12th, 13th, and 14th floors. nevertheless... . lacked Even the achievements achieved with the determination to die were not enough to catch the viewers'' attention. The result was too small compared to the time and effort put in. See? How are our achievements evaluated? Nirasha pointed to the huge screen in the center of the tent. In the Tower of Trials community and Viewtube, the strategy videos posted by large guilds and . Those were the reactions. -yeo: The 13th floor labyrinth, ''The Jungle of the Sun''. Was it here that the Dangun Guild said that they attacked it? -cho: It''s a B-rank labyrinth, here. Wow. Now that I see, did all the rankers of the main raid just get out of here? -Siyoung Lee: It''s SOSO, but somehow it''s a pity. It''s so different from what I expected. These days, I''m not interested in watching videos like this. only me then? -Sh: Tell me why? It''s because of Kang Jin-hyuk. It''s true that Dangun doesn''t deserve his name, but it''s just that the eyes of you guys have risen. -Jeon: Oh. That''s right. Somehow haha. -Lee Hwi-min: Hahahaha I wasn''t the only one like that. It felt like I ate 1 million sweet potatoes when I watched the video of the dead person and then the rest of the people. -Gdd: I can''t help but empathize with this. -Marijuana: It is said that the 90-day count has just been updated, but somehow I am already anxious. Thousands of other comments were posted, but all were similar comments. Obviously, there were a lot of words that hit the bone. As the number of views soon leads to coins, if these kinds of bad comments eat up the bed, the damage is huge. The video we uploaded was also not well received. It is an undeniable fact that rapid growth is possible based on stable coin supply and demand. Park Jeong-jin and Maria had a bitter taste. All of this . Yes. ''Kang Jinhyuk... .'' It''s because of that one person. Anger crept into Nirasha''s eyes. I never imagined that a player with no background or capital would inflict such great shame on him. In fact, isn''t it a situation where all the public''s attention is now focused on Jinhyuk? Right now, the abominable face he was giggling on a live broadcast a while ago was trampled in his eyes and did not leave. - He''s different. Avoid touching it if possible. India''s Primary God, ''Shiva'', who supports him, and other divinities also warned him not to get involved with Jinhyuk. sure. It is incomprehensible. ''To say that I''m down there just because I''ve been pushed once by mistake.'' At that time, I couldn''t do the second awakening... . Now the situation is completely different. Because I have already reached the heights and obtained a new mandala. ''This time, I will definitely give you the upper hand.'' The key is to kill the Wailing Witch on the 15th floor and win the title of the world''s first. Nirasha slowly got up from her seat. As long as I have a union that I don''t even want, I''ll have to succeed at any cost. And the day the 15th floor collapsed and the 16th floor was opened. People will remember the name Nirasha. But that was then. master! The man who had come in a while ago came in again with a pale face. Didn''t I tell you clearly? Don''t come in. Those of the lowly class wouldn''t dare to take my words lightly, would they? I''m sorry, but I have an urgent matter to tell you. I''ve been rude. Tell me. Let me hear what the damn urgency is. "That''s there are players who went to the Gate Guardian without our permission." What, what? Nirasha shouted in surprise. A nerd who acted alone while ignoring the command of the commander-in-chief. Who was the fool towards the Gate Guardian who couldn''t hurt even if hundreds of people jumped on him? But in the words that follow. " I am Kang Jinhyuk." Everyone in the tent collapsed. jerk. Jin-hyeok, Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min entered the detour of the ruins. Kreee...... Of course, the road is not empty. A slender stature reaching 4 m. A guardian wearing a long sickle and thin plate armor was blocking the entrance. His eyes were blindfolded, but black smoke leaked from between his sharp teeth. Jinhyuk''s gaze turned slightly downward. again. again. The blood that flows down the sickle is still burning with heat. How many players have been hit by that scythe? If you don''t know the strategy, the victims will keep coming. Jinhyuk, who looked at the guardian for a moment, shook his head. At the same time. [You have activated the broadcast system.] He opened a private broadcast. Brother. Is it really a good idea to raid live? Are you going to be very attracted to aggro? Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min seemed to be quite anxious about this situation. Seriously, if you come to someone else''s hunting ground and be proud of the broadcast, it''s going to be hard to get good treatment. Of course, the two of you must be concerned. However. Don''t worry. We won''t be able to do anything there. Rather, we''ll be able to grab the board and shake it? What does that mean? I turned on the live broadcast where the large guilds keep failing. So what will happen? Expectations that had fallen to the bottom will rise and the world''s attention will be focused here. But the large guild blocks it? Or, do you turn away from helping hands because your skills aren''t there? It may not be the level of being criticized, but may be buried altogether. In the end, whether it''s Nirasha, Dangun, or Olympus, you''ll have to hold on to the crotch of your pants, asking them to join you. At least that''s how it should look. Even for their own safety. right then -Cow: 5555? What? Is this steamed? -Jinn: Hull. it''s real And it''s the Wailing Witch Ruins. -Seo-Jun Oh: Did you notice that the three major guilds would attack them? - Choi Geon: ??. The place where you only post an announcement and say you will never be able to attack. -bluesky: Still, I thought you were halfway through, but haven''t you been able to break through the entrance yet? I hoped there was no news after that, but it''s worse than I thought. -Cookie baker: I think Jinhyuk went there himself because he was frustrated. -Chocolate Syrup: Wait! Does the fact that the broadcast is on now means that the raid will be shown live? Viewers rushed in. Although no notice was posted this time, within 30 seconds of turning on the broadcast, the chat window became busy with chats posted by hundreds of people. Hello. Everyone. I''m really sorry for coming here without notice. The reason I turned on the show like this... Actually, it''s because I got to participate in the Wailing Witch raid. Give him a guilty expression by biting his lips. I didn''t want to intervene in the hunting grounds of other guilds, but unfortunately, I can''t just watch them fail. I''ll help you break through the first Gate Guardian, and after that, I will proceed with the raid''s permission. From a low posture to the last, it adds a modest appearance. The pitch of the voice, the processing of the gaze, and the movement of the facial muscles. Truly everything was perfect. In case you misunderstand me, this live broadcast will go on until we catch the Guardian, and after that, as always, we plan to replace it with an edited video. Jinhyuk continued to speak. Already, it was not a matter of smoothly leading the situation due to the eloquence trained in BJ days. -Gtg4: Great. Also, Jinhyuk and Inseong. -Lpr: Honestly, where is your zone in the Tower of Trials? If you wake up first, you''re the best -Yoo Yeonjun: No, you won''t be able to clear it anyway. Jinhyuk said he would help, isn''t he an angel? -lsi0: Matches people. The bowl is really different. It''s really hard to see a player with both skills and personality. -OUY: Everyone run away! You are being deceived by the devil! -Kim Ki-tae: It seems that a large guild also planted a part-timer. Arrest complete! -Chae Hyung-seok: I got it, you bastard! -999e: Police cop supernatural energy! -doh: Why do you doubt such a kind and wonderful person because there is no one to doubt? There were some keen viewers, but most were deceived by this performance. The deeds you have accumulated on a regular basis will shine brightly in such a case. great. Then, the stage is set up, so let''s move slowly. Jinhyuk took out a fang from the subspace inventory. Pants! Black demonic energy began to condense along the blue sword. And. Kreee! The gate guardian, who responded to that life, also vomited a long and long howling. broadcast It''s a start. CH 258 . Chapter 15, Wailing Witch (2) Kaang! The thrown fangs spun in the air, and then fell to the floor. Kreee.... Gate Guardians who protect the Wailing Witch. Among them, the Reaper, who blocks the shortest route, is a named monster that best suits the nickname "Reaper". In an instant, the air suddenly changed. I wondered if my arm would go over my shoulder. [Gate Guardian ''Reaper'' activates skill ''Scythe of the Reaper''!] Boo-woong! Soon the sickle crossed across. No, crossing over is just a means of expression. It was impossible to read the trajectory of the scythe, which did not even leave an afterimage. It was the same attack that split the body of countless raids. However. Jinhyuk already had a huge sword in his hand. Berserker''s Greatsword. A great sword as heavy as its name appeared. kwaaang! As the sickle and the greatsword collided, a heavy impact sound resounded. Kree...? A completely different voice came out of the Reaper''s mouth. It''s a natural thing. Reaper''s Scythe A skill for stopping the target''s breathing in a single blow. However, the sickle, which had been navigating all over the place, failed to fulfill its role for the first time. Slow. Jinhyuk swung the Berserker''s Greatsword and deflected the sickle. Kaang! A result of learning, not of seeing and responding. A small shiver of air and the amount of mana oozing out of the eye patch. Even the minute movements of the muscles of the fingers holding the scythe. There were plenty of ways to formalize the pattern. kraaaaa! Immediately, anger like anger erupted. This time the scythe began to roar like a storm. [Reaper activates his unique ability ''Dance of the Reaper''!] head, shoulders and arms. stomach. leg. A series of attacks that were close to indiscriminate riots tried to destroy Jinhyuk''s whole body. The stones on the floor were cut like a piece of paper just by the wind pressure generated by the sickle passing by. Aww! Kaka Kaka! However, Jinhyuk was rather swinging his sword in half a beat faster than the Reaper, and he was dodging all the attacks. As if he knew where the attack was coming from. I told you. The corner of Jinhyuk''s mouth went up. Slow. OK. Exclamations flowed from the mouths of Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa, who were watching. Of course, it was a slightly different kind of exclamation than I expected. Wow, hyung, it''s the first time I''ve seen someone say that. Oppa. This isn''t game time. Besides, aren''t the viewers watching right now? Is that what you are going to say now to the subject of using the nickname Bulgwangdong Nuclear Fist for an arsonist who sets a fire? Even if the others don''t know, you two shouldn''t do that. -Special 1: Ah. ''You''re slow'' Even wielding a scythe. -kdb: Is this the difference between the edited version and the live broadcast? ??? Take responsibility for my hands and feet! -sod: Anti-mana deficiency! Anti-mana deficiency! The advance squad can''t stand this any longer... . -Kim Kyung-soo: Chijik! This is the aftermath. I hope that only those who are very anti-mana strong will climb. -Jelly: Whoa, whoa. Even if you can''t stand it, baby, you''re going to leave. -Lee Seung-jun: I think I understand why you only post edited versions. Are you going to delete all this and upload it later? - Sae Young Eon Hwan: Don''t say too much. All of these actions must be done for a reason. -Jinwook: - -- -- -- -- This is um. ripped it -Park Young-bae: Information) When a person dies, the grim reaper who takes his soul to the underworld corresponds to this. ''When a person in this world dies, the lion in the underworld comes to the dead house of the dead and snatches his soul... (syncopation). It was as if the audience''s giggles were piercing their ears. But, there is nothing you can do. To defeat the Gate Guardian... No, because in order to attack these ruins, you had to understand the characteristics of them. [Excessive confidence is poison, but not as much as the owner of this ruin. The ruins of the Wailing Witch dwelling, ''The Tomb of the Antichrist,'' is a huge temple modeled after that sin. ''Reaper'', one of the gate guardians guarding the entrance, is responsible for the mortal sin of ''pride'' among them.] Because I was so moved by the evil deeds and despair committed by the Seven Deadly Sins called Tower Disease. Did she herself want to make apostles who resembled them? The Gate Guardians here are imitations created by the Wailing Witch to worship the ''Seven Deadly Sins'' in the past. And. The Reaper in front of you is the first apostle. [Pride.] A person who deceives opponents and is firmly convinced of victory in any situation. The reason the raid has not been able to penetrate the Reaper so far is because they were overwhelmed by the first battle with him. ''The grim appearance and the long scythe are all devices for that effect.'' If you are pressed by momentum even once, all stats and stats will decrease by 30% for his wide-ranging nerf skill. However. Conversely, it also means that if you know everything and prepare for it, you can be free from the wide-area nerf skill. Of course, it was the premise that it had to be supported by the skills that followed. [''Reaper'' wide area nerf skill ''Despise the weak'' will be dismantled.] great. The passive of ''Contempt for the Weak'', a wide-area nerf skill, has disappeared. It was thanks to not succumbing to the opponent''s momentum for up to three minutes. ''The audience''s reaction is good... .'' Now it''s time to take a picture and press it in earnest. So that everyone can go crazy about this raid. After a while, the rankers of the three major guilds who entered the ruins had to feel that the number of cases imaginable had been destroyed. Hey, this can''t be... Oh my God. How can I be alone... An earthquake occurred in everyone''s pupils. I had no choice but to do so. The reaper they had struggled with... . Because there was a monster that was smashing to pieces alone. -mzs: Is this human movement? No matter how you look at it, it seems to be using nuclear weapons -Ahn Kim: Who says Jinhyuk is human? -Junho Won: I asked because I had an acquaintance in the 3rd generation guild, and he said that he had suffered everything from that Ripper. -No name: Wow. Then, even if you combine all the ranks of large guilds, you''re saying that Jinhyeok can''t do just one? -hyu: Nirashana, Mariana, and Park Jeongjin are also named, but it seems difficult to rub against Jinhyuk, right? -Jaewon Hwang: Let''s donate the coins we have and donate. [[All regressors are rich Hoguda sponsored 1,000 coins.] - huh. Go and buy some bread.] [[Indolence sponsored 800 coins.] - Drink a glass of milk.] - Choi Seungri: Oh. ?? If I had known it was going to be aired, I would have saved a little too. Sponsored elsewhere. -hal: Me too. Please leave a notice in advance! -uau: It''s a skill that can only be admired. Are you playing with it at all? -I love children: At this point, the Shinigami becomes pitiful. -Aak: Because I only watch Jinhyuk''s videos for this taste. Ha ha ha. The comments from the viewers rushed. In various communities and View Tube, Jinhyuk''s live broadcast was already running in real-time rankings. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! fast. There was no sense of mass in the large and heavy bayonet. What is most surprising is that it is not being swayed by speed, but is creating a new sword path through speed. The Reaper was also fighting with all his might, but the counterweight had already been tilted for a long time. one sum. one sum. Whenever the sword and the sickle crossed, the Reaper''s body collapsed greatly. not long now Soon the match will be decided. And as if to prove that expectation. kwaduk! In the third sword attack that followed, a wind hole was formed in the Reaper''s body. Kreaaaa!!! The tearing roar was the last word the Reaper left. with a buzzing sound. Reaper''s body became a handful of smoke and scattered. It was a futile end for a sashin who tormented the players so much. ''Is that possible?'' Nirasha bit her lower lip and looked at Jinhyuk. Even in the catacombs of the Empire, I deeply felt how strong my opponent was, but I thought that if we reunited now after the second awakening, we would be able to win enough. But. ''Is it possible?'' don''t have confidence I am confident that if I fight that person now, I will be able to win for sure. A new mandala due to secondary awakening. If you use it... Nirasha was also able to overcome the limits, but . ''I can barely do it when I fight with my life as collateral... Is it worth it?'' The fact that it was possible to achieve an equal number only by doing so was a difficult reality to comprehend. right then Jinhyuk brushed off the dust on the sword. Hmm. As if it wasn''t that bad, he nodded his head and then turned around and headed towards the players gathered around him. The players, who were immersed in the afterglow, came to their senses only after Jinhyuk approached his nose. "Kang Jinhyuk player. Nice to see you after a long time." Maria was the first to speak. It''s because I met you at a masquerade ball. Of the two, it was the most familiar face. Come to think of it, now is the time for the second awakening... . I wonder if they even copied Hellfire, which is said to be the highest level of flame magic. Nice to meet you. My name is Dangun Park Jeong-jin. Park Jung-jin also introduced herself. The two are still relatively friendly. I''m not that kind of person who puts a spoon on someone else''s rice bowl, but I inevitably became meddling when I heard that the number of victims was increasing. You''ve already shoved a spoon into the deepest part of the food, and you''re good at talking. This is the ruins we have occupied. If you want raids, look elsewhere. Salivation rose from Nirasha''s eyes. After all, we''re not chatting or exchanging. Not long ago, they drew weapons to take each other''s lives. But, does Nirasha know? Whatever you say, it''s already too late. -Noname: What did you say to Jinhyuk now? -Goodbye, hello: Wow. Gandara Guild. It''s grown so fast these days that I liked it, but it''s disappointing. -AEng: I''ll have to capture this and post it to the community. They say they are going to throw away the future of mankind and everything because of their pride. - Kang Han-seong: It''s only been about two months, but if it fails, will the three major guilds take full responsibility? -qpq: Unsubscribe Gazah. -peter: I won''t even eat curry from now on. Kaak. -Annbry: A monopoly is crossing the real line. -108: I don''t know if there is another possibility. What if you were still failing anyway? - That''s right: It''s been a long time since I finished the exam, but I''ve only seen things that I couldn''t see Do you know what is the most important thing in politics? ''It''s just making my side.'' No matter how forceful you are, no matter how much you shout, if you have the same person who applauds you, what that person says carries weight. It is the public opinion that can turn even a lie into a plausible truth. I''ll ask you again. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. Do you really want me to let go? I intend to give up the decision-making power. Of course, there was only one option to choose from. In the end, Nirasha had to accept Jinhyuk''s joining to cry and eat mustard. It was because he could not handle the aftermath if he walked on the other side while hundreds of thousands of viewers were watching. When the situation was settled like that, Jinhyuk found a quiet place and said his final goodbyes to the viewers. Then, the broadcast will end here. I don''t know when the next live broadcast will be, but I hope the day will come when we can see you again. -Hyun: Oh, why do you keep broadcasting live until you catch the boss? There will be many people who will come to support you. -Squirrel: We need to focus on the battle, so please understand. Don''t put too much pressure on it. -Nagajamen: Jinba Jinba. Jinhyuk means bye. -Chunli: The timing of grabbing the indulgence is too appropriate to hold onto the foot. really. -gur: hyung. Please upload one video a day. The upload cycle is so long that I feel like I''m exhausted. -Q: I can''t. Still, make sure to upload the video to Viewtube. -Lee Eun-seop: ??. Subscribed and waiting 24 hours. -plo: ff. See you next time Jinhyuk oppa. -app: Yes. next dwarf. -ild: I''m always cheering for you, so cheer up! -Youngjun Ko: I''ll be holding my breath until you come back. Whoops! The viewers left their seats one by one, expressing their regret. [The broadcasting system has been terminated.] Everyone left and the status window was dyed black. However, Jinhyuk did not move from the spot. instead . murmured towards the void. I have a question. I really want to ask you, so I don''t want you to pretend you don''t know... Now acting will make each other tired. It is a question that cannot be returned. By the way. - Sae Young Eon Hwan: Huh? Were you calling me? Oh. I''m the only one left in the chat window. One viewer responded. It''s weird. Because the broadcasting system was already turned off for a long time. Doubt turns into certainty. No, maybe it''s something I''ve been guessing for a long time. I just thought I needed a little more time to face that reality. Sae Young-Hwan. Someone asked a question when he first came on the show. Why did you create your ID like that? To that question, the guy said, ''The new hero is always Shadow''. answered. By the way, do you know that? At that time, I was pretending to be ignorant while wearing a mask. The first broadcast activated when raiding Cheonsu Cheonan Guanyin. Obviously, the show started and ended with the mask on. But, from then until now. Sae Young Eon Hwan has always posted comments that seem to identify himself with Unknown. In addition to that, he used to post heavy and poignant comments that were different from other viewers on every video. It''s not just about laughing and talking and enjoying every action of a player... . Yes. In other words, I used to leave words that seemed to penetrate my essence. divinity? No way. It is not something that only divinity can do. Because even they couldn''t see the top of the tower and were bound by the rules of the tower, just high-ranking beings. Above all, there was no reason for the divinities to show any interest in the young chicks at the time they had just entered the tower. if so . There is only one answer. You play this game... Jinhyuk, who was speaking, soon blurted out the end of his speech. Correct. Are you the creator of this world? CH 259 . The new hero is always Shadow. I''ve thought about it a few times. Who are the people who made a game called Tower of Trials, distributed it to the market and made people play it... doing. More than anything else, what was the reason for making such a supernatural and gigantic tower? questions to ask. ''I''ve been wanting to know why since the day the tower first appeared.'' He focused his mind on climbing the tower and growing without hesitation, but that didn''t mean he neglected the fundamental question. Look carefully. With your eyes. Jinhyuk opened a status window. It was a status window in which some of the comments Sae Young Eon Hwan left on the video were written down. -If you look at everything you don''t know, it doesn''t seem like the area on the lower floors of the tower. -If you are an oil-level deceased, it makes sense to know information that others do not know. -why? there is one A deceased person who does not belong anywhere and travels alone. -Aren''t Unknown coming out at this time? I want to see that player and Kang Jinhyuk fight together. -Well, I don''t think a match between the two will happen that easily, no matter what. - He is the only player that can compete with Jinhyuk Kang. -I heard there are rumors that there is a hidden piece that can go over the floor... Did it really exist? -If it was Kang Jin-hyuk, he might have gone beyond that. - Our Jinhyuk is a little different. A child is different from birth. chururuk The comments listed. No viewer can know the existence of a mirror that breaks down boundaries. None of the deceased have ever heard his name. Can ordinary viewers know about the existence of mirrors? Rumors are only available to those who have access to information. Besides, knowing that I and Unknown are the same person, it''s absurd to drive public opinion because I want to see them in one place. A match between the two cannot happen easily. Because he and Unknown were the same person. So, at the same time, we had no choice but to be the only players who could rub against each other. Other than that, there were not one or two statements that could serve as evidence. like that. Based on the clues I''ve been collecting little by little. Finally, I was able to ask my first question. - Sae Young Eon Hwan: Kya. It''s fun. I was trying to control myself as much as possible, but I guess I was a little too lazy to deceive Jinhyuk, who is quick-witted? It was unplanned to be caught up so quickly. An exclamation broke out from Sae Young Eon Hwan''s mouth. As if he had no intention of denying it, the darkened status window lit up brightly. [The broadcasting system is forcibly activated.] What appeared was a huge ''?''. An indescribable sense of incongruity emanated from the white question mark that filled the screen. indeed . Is this the so-called operator? I really hoped that we would meet each other. When I cleared the tower in the past, I really wanted to meet you once. When it came to reality, my heart raced like crazy. - Sae Young Eon Hwan: You don''t have to be so nervous. Because we have no intention of doing harm or anything like that just because we know who we are. Rather, I did something cute, so I''m going to give you an extra nice gift. for a moment . We? Jinhyuk''s eyebrows were curved in the opposite direction. So, does that mean there are other operators? - Sae Young Eon Hwan: There are several others besides me. I''ve been watching the show with interest from the very beginning. In fact, there was no one else to watch but you. I know that. Since the days of Cheonsu Cheonan Guanyin, they''ve been stalking you so badly, you don''t know. - Sae Young Eon Hwan: No. The voice heard from the question mark has changed a notch. If you don''t have an expression but feel the corners of your mouth twisting, it''s probably because of your mood. - Sae Young Eon-Hwan: The early days I''m talking about aren''t after the Tower of Trials became a reality. Since you first started BJ. We''ve been with you all along. what? An earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk''s pupil. It was so worn out and worn out that it was hard for me to feel the emotion of being surprised by just about anything. This time around, I couldn''t help but be confused. -Sae Young Eon-Hwan: Jin-Hyeok has to roll for his own taste, Gwanjak Song, on a diet for 25 years. etc. Why do the loyal viewers who always come to the show think they can''t even see their noses now? BJ, whom they supported so much, has grown so much? Number of viewers 20. Although the number is small, I thought that Hako BJ was an undeserved fan. But, that''s not a person... They were the operators who created the tower? It''s a bit bittersweet, but I thought it was the result of hard work in my own way. - Sae Young Eon Hwan: Oh. I think I misunderstood a bit, but it wasn''t that you weren''t popular because you didn''t have a talent for broadcasting. Rather, the problem was that he was too talented. Oddly enough, did we have to joke around a bit? So that the way you play Tower of Trials is not exposed to the outside world. Besides, he shoots star balloons so that there are no problems with his livelihood. They also deliver food to your home. I''ve been pretty busy with the gym manager cutting dues as well. I mean, I put a lot of work into it. It''s amazing the more you hear it. At this point, I don''t even know when I''ve been using my hands. One thing is for sure... . Why did they make all these things? " so that I can focus on climbing the tower?" - Sae Young Eon Hwan: That''s right. The question mark vibrated slightly. It''s like saying you''re going to die because you feel good. But, interestingly, this is also the case. Anyway, I got to meet the people behind the curtains on the stage that did it all. You said you''re interested in me, what do you want me to do? This is the most important question. They must have a reason for making all these things happen. - Sae Young Eon Hwan: Climb to the top of the tower once again. I hope you will reach the end of the tower that no other divinity and inhabitants have reached in the world we have created. You mean repeating what you''ve already done? Isn''t it too much work for that? - Sae Young Eon Hwan: Those on the 50th floor... all. yes Well, is it not possible to communicate directly? After all, the system really hurts. Sorry, but that''s all I can say. Lastly, keep in mind The top of the tower is It''s completely different from the place you used to know. [''Sae Young Eon-Hwan'' has left the chat window.] [The broadcast has ended.] With that the conversation ended. The screen flickered. The chat window went black again. I met the most suspicious person and had many conversations. The question was not completely resolved. ''Normal... changed... go?'' Rather, it only left a bigger question. But. [A message has arrived from Sae Young Eon Hwan.] Subsequent compensation proved that this question and answer was not a waste of time. About 30 minutes had passed since Jinhyuk went to Lee Taemin and Yoo Yeonhwa. I couldn''t tell you about the conversation I had with Sae Young-eon-hwan, so I circulated that I had a conversation about broadcasting with viewers in moderation. Brother. What are you going to do from now on? "It went well as my brother said, but isn''t it easy to just skip the gains among the guilds?" The two asked with bright eyes. It''s pretty fun to watch everything go smoothly as planned. He seemed to be looking forward to how he would handle it in the future. First of all, I''m going to give you some information. They decided to join the guilds, but they were not yet at the stage of building trust. You''ll need to pass some useful information to give them some confidence. And based on that, if you use the strong supplies and resources of the alliance of large guilds... . You will be able to proceed with this raid very easily. ''I''ll take some time and think about the tower later.'' The important thing right now is to copy the skill from the rankers and attack the ruins safely. The level of difficulty we had to take here wasn''t that easy. In particular, ''Black Tears'' was a skill that could be strengthened in the Tower of Trials, so it was necessary to obtain it. After that, it must be used in the 40th floor. Oh, that''s right. Yeonhwa. Did you do what I asked for? Huh? Ah that? It''s a bit vague to say for sure, but I think it''ll work. I''ve been doing my best. Yoo Yeon-hwa smiled like a mischievous person. great. When Flexi-Hwa said this, it would mean that it could be classified as a card that could actually be used. "Then, shall we go slowly?" Jinhyuk stood up. Nirasha and the rest of the players are preparing to enter the ruins, so you should go there. The place we moved to was crowded with many players. The Gate Guardian who was blocking the entrance has fallen, so he must be planning to explore the inside in earnest. Tanks, dealers, and finally, healers. The properly assembled raid was moving busy even at this moment. Everyone should prepare enough supplies. It should be at least within a week. Pour out all the mana potions generously. You can put the ledger in the General Affairs Department. Please pour out all the coins you have! Keep in mind. Aggro has to deal with the tank after being attracted to it. As before, if you do, you will get a lot of casualties. There was also a scene where the rankers belonging to the main raid were educating the relatively recent newcomers. Sheesh. I''ll go first. Nirasha, who found Jinhyeok, shot at him coldly, and then left to do her job. On the other hand, Maria had a reassuring face that Jinhyuk had come to this place. Why is that friend so upset? Is it because he still lost his rice bowl? Please understand. Gandara sent some advance squads into the ruins before Jinhyuk came. But no one came back. anyway. Could it be that he couldn''t stand the bird and moved first? ''I can understand why he was upset.'' Of course, there is no possibility that the Gandhara Guild alone could figure out the information inside the ruins. The second gate leading through this route was much more difficult than the first. The second gatekeeper was modeled after one of the seven deadly sins, ''sloth''. There. Only those who ''silent'' were able to survive and advance to the next level. ''I got the key by killing the Reaper... There are six left.'' If you deal with all the apostles made by the Wailing Witch and obtain the key, you will be able to obtain the qualifications to enter the Witch''s Room. Jinhyuk glanced at Maria. Before we begin . The ''Eyes of Gluttony'' pierced the opponent''s status window. T-tiring! Name: Maria Gender: Female Age: 26 Level: 61 Strength 23 Dexterity 35 Stamina 26 mana 112 Stat Points you have: 0 Coins held: 1,132,500 Occupation: Sorcerer Unique Ability: Five Elemental Arts skill: Lv7 ''Hellfire'' Lv15 ''Blizzard'' Lv15 ''Lightning Spear'' Lv14 ''Energy Shield''... There are too many skills, so ''put it down'' status is displayed. [Copy Condition: Cheating and exploiting your rivals is also one way to climb the tower, but you don''t have to be hostile to everyone. Cooperation and solidarity are the best ways to attack the tower. If you make an alliance with Maria and don''t smash her in the back until the end, you''ll be able to copy one of her skills.] ''You don''t have to be hostile to everyone... .'' Well, that''s not wrong. Mariaya had a relationship with Beirodum during the invasion of Europe. The one who can cooperate the most would be Maria, who is still a member of Olympus. But that was then. [It''s been taking a while, but can you spare a minute? If I don''t tell you now, it might be quite troublesome.] A familiar voice pierced through the whisper. CH 260 . seven deadly sins (1) The person who spoke to me with full tone was Beriel. I''ve been wanting to be quiet for the past few days, I thought I was going to see the other apostles. It looks like he was watching everything from the side with a sly. It could be a headache? What do you mean? [Humans may not be able to smell it, but a stench is coming from the tip of my nose. It smells quite dangerous.] If it''s a scent that Beriel can smell. no way ? Is there a source of demonic energy from the Demon Clan? In this ruin? [It is quite far from here. That witch must be up to something. Seeing the odors mixed in, it seems that there is someone other than the witch.] The Tomb of the Antichrist, the Holy Evil in the 7th room, is a place where only 3 Demon Kings and Demon Clans can be manifested in the tower. Besides, if you''re with them... . Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. Of all the cases, the most probable ones flashed through my mind. You can roughly guess how things are going. And how to use it... . Thanks for the advice. The day will come when the live live Demon King will help. Thanks, I got some pretty useful information. [Fufu. don''t like it too much If it''s really a demon Clan with titles manifesting, your level won''t be able to handle it.] Are you trying to say that I''m going to die? [Exactly. However, if you become my apostle, you can avoid a miserable death. Accept the contract even now, lowly human. It''s not uncommon for me to recommend this so often.] Hey. Do you think you''re a Demon King with pretty good feet too? Seeing you talk so confidently like this? The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. [Of course! Who dares to argue in front of me? Speaking of the strongest of the demon world, we are talking about this body. I don''t know which Demon Clan a witch is related to, but I can never summon a Demon Clan higher than me!] Oooh! Jinhyuk burst into exclamation. Then, Beliel also burst into laughter as if satisfied. I caught my eye on the golden-eyed Demon King chattering in the status window. This guy is also handsome enough to look like the male gods in myths, but why is he doing so frivolously... . [Fu ha ha ha! Have you realized a little bit of my greatness now? Then you can see how glorious it is to be my apostle. ruler. Come on, make a contract that connects souls... .] no. [What?] I''ll be grateful for the information. But, you can''t just tell me about this and tell me about contracts and anything else. At this level, I''ll have to tell you at least 30 more to decide whether to sign a contract or not. So, let''s work hard in the future. It''s usually not hard to get a good apostle. Especially in today''s hard-hitting times. [Come on, wait! What do you think of this body... ! No, from a Demon Clan point of view, this isn''t top-notch, you bastard! The Demon King won''t be like you... .] Beliel tried to catch him urgently, but Jinhyuk had already turned off the whisper mode. right then Did you have a conversation with an acquaintance? You seem quite happy... Maria, who had her ears pricked up next to her, opened her mouth. Because of the mute function, I couldn''t hear what he was saying, but I couldn''t even see him smiling all the time. Ah. I got some scout offers. I politely declined because I wasn''t interested. If it''s a Scout proposal... A twinkle flashed in Maria''s eyes. He realized that it was not a guild that could ask Jinhyeok to join him, but a huge force. Aside from the Empire and Moorim, are there still any other powers in the middle class who haven''t made an offer to Jinhyuk? "Um a little higher than that." more wierd. Maria swallowed dry saliva. The story means that even the upper classes are showing interest in Jinhyuk. What was even more surprising was that he readily refused it. Well... that''s great. Hell, I couldn''t say that Olympus wasn''t interested. In a field where the powers of the upper ranks are also coveting, how could they be charismatic? However, if it remains as it is, Olympus will gradually lose its position and will be forgotten in everyone''s memory. As expected of that feeling, Jinhyeok unleashed his luck. It''s not a bad option for Gandara or Dangun to join, but everyone will have a hard time finding their own bowl. Most of all, how can you fight comfortably with your back to those who might betray you? ...I guess that''s right. It''s a temporary alliance raid entangled with interests. Karma, rewards, etc. It''s just a fake contract. If you put your mind to it, it''ll turn into a piece of paper right now. So, leave those people behind and join hands with me. Yes? "If it''s me, Yeonhwa Taemin, and Maria, we can attack this place enough. Needless to say, the rewards to share will increase." "Yeah, but why did you choose me?" I can''t say it''s because of the copy conditions here. In her mind, Maria also wanted to hit the back of the head nicely, but there was a clause in the condition that she couldn''t do that. And if you compare the experience points and items you can get here with Hellfire... . Of course, there was only one choice. There''s no other reason. It''s just that my intuition tells me that Maria can be trusted. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. All doubts and worries melt away like snow. It was such a warm smile. Within the confederation was another confederation. Of course, Nirashana and Park Jeong-jin are a secret coalition that cannot help but be unaware of. ...so. You and Maria-san are going to go through the route where the reconnaissance team disappeared? Nirasha asked as if she could not understand. I think so. Really, Maria? Yes. I''ve been thinking about it, but I''ve decided. I''ll follow Jinhyuk. Maria nodded slightly. The main route we found has a lot of medium-sized monsters, but that''s all. The road is wide and the view is good, so there are no variables. Park Jung-jin also frowned and added a word. Conceptually, it wouldn''t make sense. There is a main route that can be pierced by force by taking advantage of its many advantages, and an unknown route that has been wiped out by the reconnaissance team, although it is a shortcut. Considering stability and the possibility of success, it was decided where to choose. If you are uneasy, go to the place of your choice together. I can assure you that it is much safer. I guarantee you... Ha. Don''t be ridiculous. I was forced to accept you because of the gaze of the viewers. I don''t trust you. Above all, we can conquer this ruin on our own without any help. In a word, it means don''t go out of your way. If that''s the case, we''ll have to go our separate ways. I''ll attach some of my people to you. It''s my decision as the commander of the general engineering department, so I hope you don''t take it too harshly. I''m just trying to help. Nirasha snapped her fingers, and a strong man stepped forward. Arun. As a player belonging to the Gandara Guild, he was a ranker who received the mandala directly from Nirasha. It''s good, it''s a helper. In fact, it had nothing to do with the intention of monitoring. However, Jinhyuk still did not lose his smile. Help. I''ll be grateful. I really needed people to come along with me. After a while, the second raid, separated from the first, arrived on the road guarded by the second apostle. It was the very place where the reconnaissance team had completely annihilated. The straight passageway was narrow enough to fit five people at most. ''Is this right there?'' [Arun activates his unique ability ''Jingong Mandala''!] huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A golden haze spread along the entire passageway. indeed . A satisfying exclamation flowed from Arun''s mouth. Thanks to the mandala''s power to see through the essence of the subject, he was able to figure out what the trap was in this passage. path of silence. This place speaks... Or, if the noise exceeds a certain level of decibels due to movement, a curse is placed on the subject to fall asleep. Naturally, the effect was at the same level as the absolute judgment, so it was impossible to cancel it with unique abilities and skills. ''Once you are cursed, you will fall asleep for at least a week.'' Because of this, the reconnaissance team sent to the advance team had no choice but to annihilate them. Probably, there are sleeping guys lying around somewhere in front of me. ''It''s hard on the body, but it''s good that you use your abilities.'' At least the second gate has to show you going through Gandhara. Because this ruin could be treated the same as for moving to the next floor if certain conditions were met. It was a place that definitely needed to be cleared. The fact that it is a place where live broadcasting can be conducted was also a factor that cannot be ignored. We''ll pass first. Don''t get in the way and stay behind. You mean you figured out a way to get through the trap? Yeah. It''s just time consuming to tell you, so let''s get through it first and then dismantle the trap. Well, okay. Just do it. Unsurprisingly, Jinhyuk quietly retreated. Although slightly suspicious, Arun didn''t think deeply. It was because there was no reason to question anything further, since he had grasped the triggering conditions of the trap and the opponent had yielded it. ''The dismantling of the trap will never happen, so please stand there for the rest of your life and watch.'' jerk. Arun and the other 4 players confidently stood at the beginning of the passage. Killing the sound wasn''t too difficult for them. sabak. The sound of tiny footsteps hitting the ground. The breath was swallowed inward, and the sensations of the whole body were raised to the extreme. It''s not fast, but we''re making steady progress, so we''ll be able to reach the end soon. ''You just have to keep calm.'' Arun''s face flushed red at the fact that he had a goal in front of him. Finally, I was able to overcome that person and receive Nirasha-sama''s approval. But that was then. [Beep-pa-------------------------------------- All troops, please gather at the training ground by 06:30... !] At the starting point, a deafening trumpet sounded. Ah. The wake-up call...! I''m sorry. I forgot to put it on mute. Haha. Jinhyuk quickly turned off the red status window. A reminder not to oversleep is ringing here. I''m sorry about this. There is no such humiliation. And I''m sure it''ll get a loud military-style wake-up call. Hey... it wouldn''t be cool to tear it apart... Arun blurted out his words. Unable to overcome the pouring sleepiness, he could no longer maintain his thoughts. Sorry, the Sleep Curse requires at least 5 people to fall asleep to get through. Your voluntary work, Primary God, I will never forget your noble sacrifice. Sounds like a sacrifice... in blurred vision. It seemed at first glance that Jinhyuk put his hands together and apologized. To be precise, the white teeth visible through the twisted mouth. kuung! And that''s it. It was the last sight Arun remembered. CH 261 . seven deadly sins (2) The 7th room of the Antichrist Tomb. The Wailing Witch looked at the gigantic glass beads and spit out swear words. Hey, what the hell is this crazy guy...? It''s an amazing sight to even say it''s ridiculous. So, I couldn''t help but be confused. Because the actions of one of the humans who have entered the ruins now are far beyond the realm of common sense. "My apostles are all being smashed?" When I first started fighting the Reaper, the Apostle of Pride, I thought he was just a special intruder. It was because if he had excellent fighting power and was full of confidence, he was able to defeat the Apostle of Pride. However, the intruder who shot down the apostle in an instant and broke through even the passage of silence. After a while, even the apostle of sloth guarding the end of the passage was making fun of him. -Do nothing to defeat the Apostle of Sloth. more lazy and lazy. Only those who persevere and give up can pass through the second gate. By the way . The intruder was implementing the strategy too thoroughly. Damn! What kind of player is having a heart attack because it bothers me to have a beating heart! I''m lying in bed, turned into a mollusk, nothing to say. A body that has become sluggish to the extent that it drives itself to death. Even the apostle stepped backwards with a tired expression. In addition to that, don''t you make the apostle of lust grow and run away wearing crazy clothes that you don''t even want to see in your dreams? Wouldn''t it be wise to have a personal consultation with the apostle of jealousy? He broke through the gates in an absurd and bizarre way. It was a situation where there was no choice but to swear, but at the same time, I had no choice but to say it was the most effective strategy. ''already The four apostles are pierced.'' There were escort monsters protecting the apostles, but they were also swept away by men using strange machines and women using martial arts. The female mage who used magic was also not easy. In less than two days, four apostles lost their lives. I could not have imagined that the gates would break through so quickly, so the pressure the Wailing Witch is currently under is beyond my imagination. That was then. That''s why I didn''t tell you. You''re a human being who can''t be taken lightly. We''ve already been hit a few times. If we don''t prepare properly, even the Great Witch will have to drink our Demon God Punishment. A pair of men and women appeared next to the Wailing Witch. A ranker at the Round Table who leads the Mine Association. It was Gawain and Tristan. The two have already emphasized the dangers of Jinhyuk on several occasions. The Wailing Witch only snorted. ...Yeah. I must have listened to you too much. I looked down on my opponent too much. At this point, I had no choice but to admit the reality. It''s different from the adventurers and witch hunters you''ve encountered in the past. So. What are you proposing? "Even if we throw a lot of small punches, it is of no use to that person. Rather, it will only weaken our power." Tristan walked over to the marble. Dark black hair ran down her shoulders and ran down her waist. I need a strong shot. I can''t even think of getting up after being hit. There is a way. Because the Mine Association has come all the way here for that purpose. Tell me what you need. I''ll give you anything I can do. Seeing the bugs keep coming into the room like this, the heat is rising from the inside. The Wailing Witch accepted the opinions of the demons. Then, a bright smile appeared on Tristan''s lips. time. The huge space of relics and the advantage of numbers. If you save these two, you will be able to prepare a room that is bitter enough. Kie-ee! Aww! The howl of monsters resounded. The Basic Form of the Demon Sword was spread over the fangs that expressed the ''Sword Grave''. Scratch! The beetle-type monster was cut out entirely. Even the monsters that looked like moths and centipedes could not stand the same and the fragments came out. But there is no time to rest. For the insect-type monsters boasting a colony, about a dozen or so was a number that could be replenished at any time. Coming back from the side! Maria, who was casting magic, shouted. Then Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min reacted to that. Whoop! kukuku kuk kuk! The blue energy was formed on Yoo Yeon-hwa''s fists and feet. Taecheong Hwarang Simbeop, which has surpassed 5 stars, has reached a point where it can radiate tangible energy more than 30cm. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo The moment when the claws of a long-lived beetle the size of a house were closed to tear off Yoo Yeon-hwa''s body. [Yeonhwahwa activates Lv13 ''Safflower Bulging (tl)''!] The condensed air exploded forward. Aww! Not only did the long-lived beetle''s body explode from the inside, but the insects in the area became powdery and scattered all at once. On the other side, Taemin Lee moved. Taemin Lee smashed the ground, armed with mechanical armor similar to the Empire''s Titan. thud! A leap that feels heavy. The deck on its back opened and mana bombs were fired in all directions. Puff Puff Puff! kwaaang! What followed was a carpet bombing reminiscent of a sea of fire. As if to prove that nothing was done to kill the worms other than to burn them. Dozens of mana bombs painted a red path made of flames in a huge room. In addition, it was possible to do close combat using a titanium shield and a short sword, so it is worthy of being called an all-round weapon. And . The long-awaited highlight of the fire dragon was Maria''s Hellfire, who finished casting. Thank you for taking the time to cast. [Maria summons Lv7 ''Hellfire''!] Pants! moisture burns out The air was dry, and I could feel the fishy taste of iron on my chapped lips. This is one of the strongest magic in the fire world. Hellfire is known as the last stage a player can reach. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! There was nothing left in the place where the fireball had passed. Even that common scream has been burned. The apostle of greed, who lost so many bugs, was increasingly at a loss. "More more bugs. More curses to be cast. Not yet, not yet." kwaduk! In the end, he lost his life at Jinhyuk''s hand. [You have acquired the ''Key of Greed''.] [You have acquired the ''Key of Sloth''.] [You have acquired the ''Key of Lust''.] [You have acquired the ''Key of Jealousy''.] If you include the key to pride, this is the fifth. Jin-hyeok handled the apostles and kept the keys he collected in one side of the subspace inventory. I ran so crazy that I didn''t know how many hours had passed. No matter how optimized it was, it was a schedule that squeezed mana to the limit. Ha ha ha ha ha ha... Really. Isn''t he a monster? You''re not tired even after doing this? Weren''t you playing while we were fighting? Sister. The older brother took care of all the insects in the back. Besides, he killed even the apostle himself. It''s just that the physical arrangement... it''s a posthuman level. The three people who came together were already close to exhaustion, dealing with the mobs that were next to the apostles. Now I just need to get some rest. Jinhyuk took out 3 glass bottles with blue liquid from the subspace inventory. It''s a potion that helps restore mana. I got one with a special effect, so eat it one by one. Give it for free? Really? Yoo Yeon-hwa widened her eyes. The safety of my colleagues is at stake, but will I ever get paid? It''s my life, so don''t worry about anything else and just focus on recovering your body. brother . Oh. Oppa is very different from before. Have you ever heard of cheol? "I''ll eat it thanks, Jinhyuk." Jinhyuk''s head was spinning rapidly even while everyone was in shock. Each potion costs about 2,000 coins. On the other hand, the experience points that can be obtained by rolling 3 people and the secondary supply and demand of coins through videos are worth at least 70,000 coins. It is a business that can eat at least 30 times more. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. Come on, recover quickly. That way you can roll it again. Tick tock. Everyone sat comfortably, drank potions and rested. Jinhyuk, who had been looking at the three of them happily for a while, slowly moved his seat to the back. ''indeed Did you give me something?'' Wow, that''s a reward given by the guy who was the operator. It must have been something that could not be obtained through ordinary routes, such as ''a privilege for those who conquered the tower for the first time''. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart was pounding happily. A trembling finger pointed towards the status window. Then at that very moment. T-tiring! The long-awaited reward appeared. [Shadow Gate] Acquisition Difficulty: Unavailable Description: The ''shadow floor'' where senior managers live. This is the hidden world of the tower, accessible only to senior managers. However, if you use a shadow gate made of a material outside of the law, you will be able to enter this floor. (This gate will be destroyed if you use it once round-trip.) this again... Something completely unexpected popped up. There is an Artifact that can go into the realm of a senior manager. That''s why Tower of Trials is insanely fun. New variables that even the deceased were not aware of were constantly appearing. [The hidden floor in the tower, the shadow floor] It is an area that has not been visited even in the past when we saw the top of the tower. Because it was a place where players were not allowed to enter in the first place. ''Is it possible to meet Hasting, as well as other senior managers.'' Jinhyuk bit his lower lip. Possibility of use... . I can''t even guess This variable might not be able to shake the existing foundation at all. It has been 5 days since we entered the ruins. As time passed, the 1st raid, to which Nirasha belonged, had no choice but to become impatient. They had no tangible results in five days, as the 2nd raid had gone far beyond comparison. Furthermore. When he found out that Arun, who had been sent to the monitoring station, had been attacked by his opponent, it felt like everything was falling apart. - There is a way to wake up quickly, and we will provide you with that method at a very affordable price. Only 299,999 coins, less than 300,000 coins! Just send us 299,999 coins and we''ll let you know right away. I thought it was strange that I lost contact, so I sent someone, and there I found Arun and the rest of the Gandhara Guild players who were in a deep sleep. It was a bonus that there was a small piece of paper on the bedside table. ''You have to pay a different number.'' This is no longer the time for pride or arrogance. It''s really a big problem to play the role of a bridesmaid for the other person like this. However, no matter how much I thought about it, I could not come up with a sharp method. But right then. Inside Nirasha''s private tent, a very subtle mana reaction was felt. ...! grunting Black waves rose from the ground. Main...? Thick flesh erupted from Nirasha''s body. The opponent was a publicly known Mine around the world. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Flashes of mandala began to fill the tent. However, the opposing party did not resist. It didn''t seem like he had any intention of being subdued. Fufu. I hope you don''t wear sunglasses like that. To you... no. I have an offer that will benefit us all. CH 262 . seven deadly sins (3) " what do you mean by a plan that benefits us all?" Nirasha''s hand stopped. Then, a deep smile formed on Tristan''s lips. Kang Jinhyuk. a person''s name. That''s enough. As expected, Nirasha''s face changed noticeably. ...Are you suggesting that we get rid of that person? Are you holding hands? Aren''t you also hurt by Kang Jin-hyuk a lot? We''re also grinding our teeth. Definitely, killing that guy is the gift I want to receive the most this Christmas this year. However, it is not at the level of tarnishing the name of the guild if they find out that they are related to you. The guild itself may disappear altogether. If the ultimate goal of players climbing the tower is to prevent the destruction of mankind, the main concern of the demons is to manifest Demon Clans in this world. Even if that''s not the case, there must be more harm than good to be with criminals who are wanted. Well, that''s true, but all of that will only happen when our allies are known to the outside world. If you think that information leakage can be prevented in ruins that can even be broadcast live... I think you''re making a big mistake? It''s not an illusion. Of course, it''s not groundless bullshit either. because . Because we are currently with the owner of the ruins. A great witch who is good at curses and barriers. If it''s a boss monster who made as many as seven Gate Guardians that it''s not easy to command one... . A barrier that could interfere with the broadcast system could also be opened. The smirk completely disappeared from Nirasha''s face. A union of boss monsters, mine associations, and upper guilds. "Certainly if that''s the case, there is a possibility." It is not at a level that only one player can stop. It will not be easy even with the power of one country. "Can I take that to mean that you want to be with us?" First, listen to the plan. I said so, but my heart was already half-inclined. I just need to add a little bit of confidence here. What you need to do with Nirasha-sama and Gandhara Guild is simple. As long as you cut off their supply and rear support, we will take care of the rest. "If it''s a supply route the Olympus Guild?" Yes. That''s it. Currently, the 2nd raid consisted of four men including Jinhyeok and players from Olympus. Four people took charge of the attack and the rest were in charge of the rear... . If they can annihilate the back, those in the front will be completely isolated. In a word, it means a rat in a poison. I wonder if I''ve been silent until now to draw you in as deeply as I can. It''s fun. I never thought the demons would be this patient. Isn''t it light? There''s almost no risk as the main kernels fall out and you only need to take care of the small ones. Okay...but. We''re not going to play Olympus alone. Are you asking for support? If you are alone, you can sweep the rear well enough, so why? If the plan fails, I want to create a corner where you can step out. At least I won''t show up. Nirasha drew a line as if she couldn''t yield this much. In the end, Tristan took a step back. Then, let''s support an apostle from our side. The Apostle in charge of ''Wrath''. And Gawain will also help you. Support from the apostles and demon cadres. That''s enough. not enough kukukuku! The stone walls of the entire ruins moved at the same time. The obstacles that were blocking them disappeared in an instant, and the various monsters that ran wild to protect the area disappeared like smoke. a clear road. "Brother is this a bit strange?" Hyung. All the insects have gone away. Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min spit out one word at a time. I can''t even feel the reaction of mana around me. I think I''ve cleared all barriers and traps in the entire ruins... Maria, who was using the detection magic, also made an expression of incomprehension. On the other hand. A strange laugh came out of Jinhyuk''s mouth. ''indeed. Are you going to come out like this?'' This is an invitation. If you are confident, come forward. Sprinkling the bait out loud was a bit off-putting, but it must have meant that you had prepared a lot. There''s no reason to give up if you''re going to pave the way anyway. Rather, it saved me time, so I am grateful for this. Let''s go. No, oppa. Isn''t this like a trap? Let''s just go? It''s a trap... . You have to be able to tightly squeeze your breath, so that''s a trap. It''s just a kidding game I hope it will be like that. Are you going to leave it late? Jinhyuk took the lead. Hyung''s confidence is really... Ha. I''ll go. I''ll go. And the three people who shook their heads followed behind him. how far did you go? The place we arrived after passing through a long passage was a room full of stone statues of numerous monsters. A place called the Chamber of Confession. This is the final gateway to the Wailing Witch. At the same time, it was also guarded by the most difficult of the seven deadly sins. Kurre... It was then that the sound of sputum was heard. kuung! kuung! kuung! Sado, more than 3m tall, appeared between the stone statues. A tusk protruding from the green skin. His explosive belly and muscular arms were quite impressive. However, the thing that caught my eye the most was the huge cart that he was pulling. The wagon full of mysterious and bizarre chunks of meat and plants seemed to tell why he was called the ''Apostle of Gluttony''. T-tiring! A purple status window appeared in front of everyone. [In order to inflict a valid attack on the Apostle of Gluttony, you must consume the ingredients in the cart it is pulling.] [Other than that, all unique abilities and skills are invalidated.] The meat and plants in the cart have a special ingredient called ''pectecrosin'', and only by dissolving it in mana could damage the apostle. the problem is . Second, the appearance of these ingredients is terrible, because they have such a terrible smell and taste that an ordinary human cannot even bring them close to their mouths. No matter how strong a person is, he is never overpowered. Hey, do you want to eat that? Maria stepped back with a pale face. It varies. Really. If that''s the only way, I''ll have to try it... but it''s going to be a headache. Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, who had experienced everything, swallowed dry saliva. right then Oh oh oh oh! The apostle of gluttony found the intruder and took out a mace from the inside of the cart. The distance narrowed in an instant. kwaang! The mace touched Jinhyuk''s head and shattered the stone statue of the monster immediately behind him. ''You''re still fast.'' Incongruent with his size, his movements are like swallows full of water. If I didn''t know about the feature that the little toes converge inward about 3 degrees before max acceleration, I might have broken my head. However, the attack did not end there. It''s only just begun. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! The apostle of gluttony once again swung his mace. This time, Jinhyuk passed the attack by slightly turning the angle. No, I thought I spilled it. win! A sharp pain in the shoulder. It''s not because of the mace. His skin burned as he touched the green smoke that rose around the mace. Did you pick up only the spoiled ones and eat them with poison? Jinhyuk widened the distance even more. According to the system''s description, this side''s normal attack didn''t work, so there was no point other than avoiding it. At least until you eat it. Of course, knowing how to do it and being able to put it into practice are two different things. "Woo, woo ! Tongue, hyung. This whoop!" It''s not the level of the Bob Police, it''s the level of the prosecutor''s office. How the hell do you mean to eat this? Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa, who were trying to clench their teeth and stuff food, spit out what they chewed. Chunks of gray meat fell to the floor. No matter how dire the situation is, I can''t eat this. Then, suddenly, the apostle of gluttony stretched out his hand toward the cart. It''s like saying that food should be eaten like this. Groooooooooooooooooooo! Whoops! Whoops! A chunk of meat ran down my throat. [Attack power increases by +10!] [Increases agility by +12!] [Movement speed is increased by +8!] Status windows appearing one after another. The more you eat, the higher your stats. It wouldn''t be a mistake to say that my already thick arms have gotten a little bigger. It''s delicious... it tastes good. Everything is good, but chew it a little bit. Cheal. Jinhyuk smiled bitterly. Oh oh oh oh! The apostle of gluttony, who roared wildly, began to run rampant once again. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! kwaaang! Unlike the apostle of gluttony, whose momentum became more and more equal, the party was not spared a hardship. Even though I knew the only strategy, I couldn''t use it, so of course it was. He was running away between the stone statues, but it was only a matter of time before he could catch up. So, when the war situation is overwhelmingly focused on one side... . Now I''m a little more modest. I felt like my stomach was going to be twisted as I watched them break into someone else''s room and run wild. Now I have to think about how to kill them the most painfully. A new voice broke in. Creepy! the air freezes An ominous and dark energy began to encroach on the room full of stone statues. The black-haired beauty walking in front could not be ignored, but the most dangerous thing was the old woman with white hair wearing a worn-out robe. The apostles I''ve dealt with so far can''t even compare. this man. this feeling. no doubt Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. ''That old woman is the Wailing Witch.'' They have thousands of faces, so I was curious to see what they would look like this time around. ''That old woman must be the Wailing Witch.'' finally met The most important person in this raid. People whose names are called Magicians and Bosses hide in the back and come out after we run out of stamina? Isn''t it too cowardly? "Whoa. Wouldn''t the word ''wise'' be more appropriate?" you? "My name is Tristan. Lancelot''s colleague who faced you ." It seems that there is something a little more emotional than simply being called a colleague. What is certain is that he doesn''t seem to have any intention of sending it nicely. Jinhyuk glanced at the entrance of the ruins. If you''re expecting any support, I''d like to tell you to give up. Why? Go to Olympus, the guild, Gawain, and all the apostles in charge of anger have gone. Well, seeing such an embarrassment, it seemed like there was no need for a pincer. Tristan shrugged. Well, that can''t be... An earthquake occurred in Maria''s pupil at the sound of a clear blue sky. It was amazing to see the demon and the boss of the ruins holding hands, but I never dreamed that I would betray even the Gandhara guild. If this is true, there is no hope. The difference in power was so serious that it was impossible to compete at all. After being thoroughly defeated, it will be a state of being surrounded from the front and back. However. Even though everyone was in despair, Jinhyuk was still smiling. There are two things you''re mistaken about. First, I was dragging time against that mass as well. Hmm. Are you saying you did that on purpose? I had to wait for you guys to crawl out. If you ever run away with your tail curled, it will be quite troublesome to track you down. To hunt perfectly, it''s best to make the other person think you''re a hunter and not a prey. Because clumsy misunderstanding was the biggest reason that led to carelessness. Second, I already knew you were going to join hands with Gandhara. The number of cases that the Mines could choose from were all considered. I knew I was going to be with the Wailing Witch, but that alone would have made it difficult to guarantee victory. Therefore, it was not difficult to predict that he would approach Nirasha, who was possessed by a sense of inferiority. It''s not a bad plan to split the forces and beat us and Olympus separately. The basics of tactics are to cut back support and weaken the forces. It is a gem among gems. However . It also means that it is easy to predict. You''re bluffing in moderation. Do you want us to believe that you predicted all of that? If you plan to shake us up by fitting things up late, you''re greatly mistaken. It may or may not be a bluff. You''ll find out in a little bit anyway. Which of the two I''m talking about. Is that what do you mean? Tristan''s voice trembled slightly. As if Jinhyuk''s confident words continued, he lost his confidence a little. It means that I have also prepared a level of defense for the rear. Reliable reinforcements were called in. maybe Much more powerful than what you prepared? CH 263 . Strongest Reinforcement (1) Move quickly there. Now we have to move slowly. How far have the separate gangs who decided to take charge of the mobs have gone now? When that''s over, we''ll be able to move to the next area. It''s been an hour or so, and we''ll be talking soon. I got a call from behind saying that the battle food and accessories were all ready. Almost all of the magic gemstones from the monsters'' corpses were also collected. It''s slowly finishing. The vanguard led by Jinhyuk also played an important role. The rear also had a role of its own. It was his role to take care of all the other little things so that the vanguard could focus on paving the way alone. That was then. Huh? What? Who''s coming? One player who was collecting the Magic Stones at the very front tilted his head. Familiar players appeared right in front of me. "Gandara that''s the one, those people." Really. Why did those friends come all the way here? It must be normal if you are busy attacking the route over there... Something is strange. Raid 1 and Raid 2 are currently secretly competing to see who can reach the Wailing Witch first. There was no reason why the rankers of Gandhara, which could be called the main force, came here in large numbers. Most of all, coming to the rear of this place without any contact... It was a category far beyond common sense. Instinct is dreaming Something''s wrong. The conviction that it was never approached with good intentions entered my mind. Sreung! Various sergeants raised their anticipation. Fucking, I pulled my weapons. Are you crazy! Right now... tell the rankers right away! However . When I shouted, a female player from the Gandara Guild had already approached my nose. Sagitta. He is a ranker of the Gandhara Guild and an assassination player optimized for face-to-face combat. With both shoulders exposed, a round curve exploded like lightning. He didn''t even have time to react to how quickly he narrowed the distance. Boo Woong! The blade flew towards the porter''s neck. I could feel the creepy texture of cutlery on my skin. What followed, however, was not the eerie shattering of flesh and bones being cut off. Kaaaah! A sharp rustling sound rang out. At the heavy shock, Sajita kicked her tongue and widened the distance. !? I couldn''t believe the surprise was so futilely blocked... . What was even more surprising was that it had only just begun. The most important thing to do is to act as human nanny... No matter how much Ellis directly ordered it, it''s amazing. Belus exposed his pointed fangs. After that, a number of vampires began to appear one by one with their rapiers pulled out. Watch your mouth. He is now the leader of the Decasus. I will not forgive you for speaking rudely to the head of the House. Ophelia frowned at once. Ha! Since when did a human become the head of a great family? Besides, when did you swear allegiance to that person? ...I''m just repaying the person who saved my life. Are you the one who doesn''t want to recognize Jinhyuk-sama, your head of state? What, what? Who follows who? "The former former Ataraxia singer has become softer, isn''t it? She''s not even a teenage girl, and the way she smiles is quite eye-catching." How dare this damned Decassian trash insult him! I''m going to nail the cross to that little pot! Oh my. Ataraxia always swears when it doesn''t make sense. Anyway, it''s becoming vulgar... While the two vampires clashed, the players of both sides who watched the scene were at a loss for words with their mouths wide open. Hey, this can''t be... a vampire? Why did those guys protect humans? On the Gandhara Guild side, he couldn''t hide his embarrassment. Olympus was equally surprised. What the hell is this? "Uh are you going to help Lee?" Since the Olympus Guild is now made up of more than half of porters and miners, if it had been properly attached, it would have collapsed in less than 30 minutes. However, with the intervention of vampires, the situation was completely reversed. "Sweep them all away." No, stop! The cold voice of Belus and the voice of desperate Sajita crossed. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Aww! Aww! aaah! A terrifying scream rang out with a huge explosion. In an instant, the Ataraxia''s clan who broke through the tank formation and dug inside began to massacre the dealerships. overwhelming Even the advantage of numbers is fading. Kaka Kaka! The curvature and the rapier collided dizzyingly. There were only a few rankers who could fight Belus or Ophelia, and at the level of normal players, at least five or more had to stick together to face a single clan. So, instead of taking an advantage, it was becoming a form of being pushed back little by little. Wow! A heavy moan escaped Sajita''s mouth. Maybe, I didn''t know that my opponent could predict this. No, even if it was predicted, I never expected that it would call for such a strong support. also . yes too... Nirasha-sama''s words to prepare for one at all times were correct. The saying is that when a new variable arises, it is enough to increase the safety device so that it can be overwritten. Hey. He doesn''t look very embarrassed. It seems that this is not the end of the prepared number? You think this is the only place we''ve been aiming for? This is not the only place where Olympus'' rear is in charge. There was a team in charge of small job monsters in the front, and a team in charge of by-products and supplies carried here in the back. 3 total. In other words. This means that there are three places to defend. The side facing the mobs from the front would still have the power to call it a raid, but it doesn''t matter. We also sent a monster worthy of it. Not to mention it''s the weakest last resort. The corners of Sajita''s lips rose upwards. To put it humbly, he sent a beggar overflowing with the modifier ''suitable''. Among the 7 apostles, the ''Apostle of Wrath'' is evaluated as the most fierce and aggressive. Even the demons, including Gawain, have gone out there, so no matter how much they are dead, they will not be able to stop everything. But. Even after hearing those words, there was no significant change in Belus'' expression. I''d really like to see you give that damn bastard a shot, but it''d be unreasonable. Humans may be unlucky, but they''re not sloppy. what? That guy is reading everything over your heads. The fact that there is not one prepared card is the same here. A body of up to 3 m tall and reddish skin. The blood-red eyes and the energy that spurted out of his body seemed unfathomable at a glance. [Apostle of Wrath ''Refels''] Seven apostles made by the Wailing Witch. Among them, the apostle of anger was different from the rest. Even if the invaders defeated the remaining six apostles, the seventh apostle was the only one who could protect the ruins. Pop! kwaduduk! Khahaha! More! Try more. You scumbags! Try harder and try harder! Every time the great sword in Refels'' hand moved, blood rushed in. As the armor was cut entirely, the upper body of the person in it was blown away. Truly overwhelming power. Refels''s steps did not stop, not even a single step. It was just moving forward and cutting through everything that got in the way. Ugh... Wow, what kind of monster is this... The main raid of the Olympus Guild, which had gone through all the struggles in its own way, collapsed helplessly without being able to resist properly. This attack doesn''t seem to work at all, but the opponent is desperate because the tanks are swept away with a single light knife. The number, which had reached several dozen, has disappeared by more than half. And the other half will soon follow. No matter how hard I tried, there was no way to deal with a monster comparable to a natural disaster. By the way. jerk. There was a person who stood in the way of such Refels. Um. I said I''d come early, but it''s a little late. You guys get a little rest. I''ll take over from now on. Keuk kuk... ha ha ha ha! Do you think your old-fashioned old man dares to deal with me? Refels went mad. I don''t know if it''s because they came in groups like a while ago. There''s only one. At this point, I''m so excited that I don''t even swear. Hmm. You look pretty strong. I haven''t been to the tower a few times, but I know that talking monsters aren''t normal. How many times have you never been in the tower? I''ve only seen it a couple of times. Does that mean that you humans are not even able to enter the 7th guild or whatever? Heh heh. That''s the story? Well, it''s not wrong. I don''t belong to any particular place. It''s ridiculous. It''s ridiculous that such a guy goes out without knowing the subject. It seems that he knows how to deal with qi in a mediocre way, but at that level he''s too young for me. The sin of believing in his clumsy talent and blocking the way of this body. To pay him back with death. do it. [The Apostle of Wrath activates the unique ability ''Armor of deep-seated grudge''.] Pants! Black armor wrapped around the body. The reason why the Apostle of Rage is out of specification is that, although the attack power is also powerful, it is incredibly difficult to break through this armor. -Only those who have sharpened one ability to the limit can inflict damage to this Apostle. In order to penetrate the armor of deep-seated grudge, the mastery of a unique ability or skill must exceed level 35. This means that Lv35 F rank attack skill is required rather than Lv1 SSS rank ability. In the former case, there were players who still had them, but in the latter case, I could not find them even after washing my eyes. That''s natural. Horses are above level 35. Unless they were residents, they didn''t have time to raise their proficiency that much. But only one. There are people who can do that. I came this far for the request of my lovely granddaughter and to help the saver of life, but I didn''t expect to hear a sermon about the karma I had built up with the person I met for the first time. A person who has lived his whole life for the sake of martial arts even before the appearance of the tower. People refer to him like that... . It was called ''Wuman''. [[Yoo Chun-young Lv41 (10 Stars)] Activating the ''Jintae Cheonghwarang Heart Method''!] kukuku kuk kuk! The whole passage began to tremble violently. The dust that spread along the ground drew a pattern around Yoo Chun-young''s body. "At some point how much is it worth to deal with the beasts of the tower. I''m going to hit it directly with a Treasured sword." It wasn''t that difficult for Yoo Chun-young, who had originally mastered the Jintae Cheonghwarang sim method to the limit, to raise her skill level within a short period of time. like that. The flow of energy has completely changed. same time. A disturber appeared in front of Gawain and the Demons. you are. Gawain''s eyes narrowed. Sitting in front of the supplies is the saint who saved Amsterdam. It was Teresa. After all, a paladin appears. The divine power was a tricky power that was in complete opposition to the abilities possessed by the demons. However. That''s all. A fishy smile appeared on Gawain''s face. I admit that the divine power is quite tricky, but it is too arrogant to believe in one thing and try to stop us all. Do you really think we don''t know how to destroy that power? Weaknesses can be rectified. The mines had already devised a countermeasure for it. However, Gawain, who was talking, suddenly clouded his tail. This feeling... no way? not divine power A dark and ominous aura, completely different from that, slowly rose. Ugh... A groan escaped Teresa''s lips. Don''t worry. I''m not going to use the divine power you expect. Unlike Sunding, I prefer to rip everything myself. Theresa is, but the one in front of her is by no means Teresa. Double... Personality? The smile disappeared from Gawain''s face. CH 264 . Strongest Reinforcement (2) Don''t take on too much weight, and surrender in obedience. Where is a saint who has fallen into weakness... The man who stretched out his hand could not finish his speech. Teresa, whom she had seen a moment ago, disappeared, and instead, Gawain and the rest of her companions were seen behind. Something that couldn''t happen originally. uh? The head turned 180 degrees. The body, which had staggered, soon collapsed. kuung! Where are you going to put your dirty hands? No special weapon was used. bare hands... to. It too lightly broke the neck of an adult man. Pants! Black sparks erupted around Teresa''s body. It is a mana that is horrendous. It is unthinkable to be a saint who gave her life to save people. To deal with a power similar to demonic energy.... No matter how much personality changes, it would be impossible to express the opposite power... divine and demonic energy. It is a force that can never be compatible with one person. But there must be someone who can handle them at the same time. It''s a slightly different structure from what you know. Well, there''s no reason to explain it to those who die now. Teresa slowly stood up. Sreung! The sword, which was drenched in silence, was directed forward. Are you really going to fight? If you know how to manipulate demonic energy, you''d be much better off with us. We can make your wishes come true. Huh. Make what you want come true... Are you guys? of course. Did you think it was over? A glimmer of light flashed across Gawain''s face. But it was only for a short time. I''m sorry, but the characters from our side are more appetizing. Compared to Jinhyeok and Yooseong, who are just my style... don''t the minions have to grow up and eat them? In a word, they''re boring. Negotiations are... a breakdown. Then that''s it. Teresa nodded her head. Then Gawain beckoned to the demons on either side. Yes. All right. ssuk. Shh. The demons quickly widened the gap. The dark red energy was equipped with that type through the weapon. It''s a pity. A talented person like yours could have been useful for the association. If you refuse, there is only one way. Kill it. Gawain gave the order. At the same time, he freed the mana that the demons had gathered. [Activates the multi-changing skill Lv20 ''Aknia''s Snake''!] I wondered if there would be a six-pointed star drawn in blood at Teresa''s feet. KwaKwaKwakwok! Soon, a black snake came out and bound Teresa''s whole body. A high-ranking bondage skill that is activated by ten or more infusions of mana. There, as an ''energy drain'', he even arranged to gnaw off Teresa''s mana. To tie up a lady with a snake. Isn''t your hand habit too bad? Theresa moved her arms and legs wildly. However, the snake, which twisted its torso tightly, did not budge. It''s a little difficult to treat someone who turns a person''s neck with their bare hands as a lady. Oh my. Those words. It hurts. Hmm. Rather than the wounds of the heart, how about worrying about the wounds on the body? Gawain grinned and pulled out a spear. While the bondage was being maintained, the idea was to pierce the saint''s body with a spear. The pointed spear stopped exactly a few centimeters before Teresa''s heart. It doesn''t seem like you''re going to release it, so if that''s the case, then I''ll have to get out on my own. You''re getting out? Your skills are too much. Well. That remains to be seen. Teresa''s eyes grew darker. Then at that very moment. Whoops! Ke-e-e! The serpent, which had been restrained, burned with a scream of pain. This is... no way! Gawain sensed an unusual demonic energy and hurriedly stabbed the spear. However, the mana ejected from Teresa''s body was faster than the spear piercing through the flesh. [Theresa activates her unique ability ''Saint of the Extinct''!] A second unique ability that can only be used while manifesting corruption. ''The Lady of the Dead''. He raised his sword to save the country. A saint who saved the country, but was eventually betrayed by the country. It was known that he had no regrets about his life until the moment of his death... . Actually that''s not true. It was disappointing. It was painful. live wanted I wanted to survive. from that terrible fire. so that. The saint wanted to curse everything that exists in the world at the last moment. iced coffee . A sad sigh escaped Teresa''s mouth. [The condition has been met.] [Divinity ''Joan of Arc'' deep-seated grudge resides!] [The purest demonic energy blooms!] A deep energy that cannot be compared with before. Everything I could see began to turn black. If you want to run away, you can run away. But, I won''t let anyone live. at the end of that word. kwaang! Theresa''s new model disappeared. The place that appeared was in front of Mine, who was on the far side. Close enough to breathe. Quad Duck! Teresa''s sword pointed from top to bottom. from the crown. up to the crotch. The body was precisely divided into left and right. Off... uh... Huh? Teresa walked out through the mist of blood gushing out like a waterfall. Scratch! Puppupuck! Whenever the sword moved left or right, the limbs of the demons were cut off in the air. A quick and accurate sword strike that made it difficult to even react. In less than a minute, more than five demons had turned into fragmented corpses. Theresa looked for another prey with her sword draped over her shoulder. Hmm. Heh. Heh. The sight of him humming while covered in blood was a demon territory that could only be seen in a cruel fairy tale. sure, ...such a monster. There was no other hell for those who appeared in the fairy tale. The sense of disappointment you feel when all your plans go wrong is incomparable to anything else. That''s natural. What was certain of victory became a tower of thought and collapsed, who could not be in vain? how . Tristan''s voice trembled softly. one of three. If any one place succeeded, it could shake the foundation of the opponent, but As of now, the power has been rather dispersed, and it has only resulted in individual defeats. Fortunately, the players of the Gandhara Guild are of high level, so they are equal, and the Mine side is being slaughtered unilaterally to the extent that it is said that it is miserable. Gawain was barely holding on, but it was equally dangerous. A few minutes at most. After that, the head will be cut off just like the rest. I also have a lot of connections here and there. I''m usually so nice, so when things get difficult, you and I try to help too. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. That is why it seems that people should live by accumulating virtue on a daily basis. I''m just trying to make the tip of my nose go cold. Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min were next to each other, asking what kind of bullshit that was, but Jin-hyuk couldn''t see it because his eyes were blushing. right then The Wailing Witch slowly opened her mouth. ...after all, the rear-guard battle is yours'' supreme victory. Yes. The back-up battle is a landslide victory for this side. The problem is that the main event of this fight is not here, but behind the scenes. creepy The air was frozen. Beirodum, the Lich, is far superior to magic when it comes to magic, but the Wailing Witch is no better than the Demon Clan when it comes to curses and barriers. Rather, if I had surpassed any Demon Clan, I would have crossed it. However, Jinhyuk deliberately made a relaxed expression. Besides this, I have prepared quite a few. So, I hope you don''t suffer in vain and just give up, but the winner of this fight is decided anyway. Don''t get me wrong. What you did was only block the plan that Mine had prepared. You haven''t even pulled out the card I prepared yet. The apostle of gluttony is alive and well. And as long as the apostle was alive, the owner of this ruin still had an advantage over the players. Chew him to the bone. It must be painfully killed. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! kuung! The apostle of gluttony once again swung his mace and charged. Same situation as before. That lump, immune to all attacks, runs like crazy. To get out of there, the four of you will run away. If the destruction method is not used, the process will be repeated indefinitely. ''If I don''t know how to eat that food.'' Jinhyuk took out a book from the subspace inventory. Three minutes.... Everyone, hold on for three minutes. Three minutes? Softening the mace avoids the mace and immediately asked. Instead, you have to take your eyes off me completely. It''s not enough just to run away. The three of us have to face each other head-on and draw time. so that the dishes are cooked to perfection. Okay. I''ll endure it somehow. Maria. Please support me. Taemin takes care of the placement of smoke grenades. Yes. Let''s try it. I will only trust Jinhyuk. OK. The three moved. Meanwhile, Jinhyuk injected mana into the book he had. [I used ''1009 Cookbooks for Bad Eaters''!] 1009 ingredients that players can never eat in the tower. The secret to making it edible is written in this book. ???????????????? The bookshelf turned over, and a page with the ingredients contained in the cart appeared. [The meat of ''Oto Dobul'' is very nutritious, but has a strong odor and contains 12 types of poison. To solve this... .] From the types of ingredients to how to handle them so that they can be eaten. There was really nothing missing in a cookbook for bad eaters. Jinhyuk quickly started cooking the meat with the ingredients he had brought in advance. Because he even used the ''Different World Restaurant'', his hand movements were comparable to that of other skilled chefs. By the way. ''Hmm .'' Jinhyuk looked at the finished food and tilted his head slightly. It''s been a while since I''ve made it, so I''m not really sure. Because even if you follow the recipe, you can''t perfectly reproduce even the subtleties. The worries did not last long, If so, then... . huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo When mana was injected into ''Braham''s Ring'', a 30cm tall Elise appeared. What? It was fun watching them fight the gluttonous apostle in the middle of the day. It would be unreasonable if they were called to fight instead. You know? Fortunately, he didn''t seem to be looking at this. Just by looking at his troubled expression, he must have been unable to guess the fate that would befall him. I know that. I didn''t call you to fight, so don''t worry. Then why did you call me? It''s not a big deal. Experiment with this food... No, I need something to try. Huh? Si...sik? Sensing something ominous, Elise flapped her small wings and tried to escape quickly... . It''s already late. Jinhyuk put a small piece of meat into Alice''s mouth. Elise reflexively moved the ball back and forth. ...!? An earthquake occurred in Alice''s pupil. That''s the last. ho... . When I saw that my head was tilted back with foam in my mouth, the situation was not serious. I thought it smelled a bit sour. Was it a failure? ''Oh! right. I should have raised the temperature of the original fire by 2 degrees to bake here. From the outside of the meat to the inside Yes. That was it.'' Jinhyuk clapped his hands. Thanks to you, I perfectly remembered the recipe I was confused about. Jinhyuk made up for the mistakes he made. like that. [[Safe ''Auto Pay''] The meat is done!] Finally, the conditions to damage the apostle of gluttony were met. CH 265 . Strongest Reinforcement (3) A super-large ruins raid with a whopping 3 guilds. As it was to attack the core area of the 15th floor, the attention of the people of the world was focused at once. In particular, didn''t even the topic''s ranker, Kang Jin-hyuk, participate in this raid? It was natural for all communities and portal sites to be covered with related things. Uh-huh... Cigarette smoke billowed upwards. After the popular broadcast program ''Climb the Tower of Trials'' was abolished due to an unfortunate incident, the KDS broadcasting station attempted a major innovation through its own water change. Rather than being shunned by the past, they launched a program that was refurbished by image transformation. ''The deceased lives alone.'' Targeting the top rankers or guilds, their daily life as well as their activities inside and outside the tower. It''s a program that really digs everything up. What sets this program apart above all else is that when large guilds go to raids, one PD from player directly participates in the raid. "Yeah it was attractive to vividly deliver the raids of celebrities that are difficult for viewers to come across." Jeong Beom-hee, the team leader of KDS, who is in charge of ''Dead Man Lives Alone'', pondered the past few months. There were many hardships and adversity, but I somehow persevered and endured and came this far. Jinhyuk and Unknown were the ones who made the most breakthrough in that work. Although it was impossible to include a PD in a raid conducted by two people, it was fun just to summarize information about the two. ''Korea No, it''s something the world should be grateful for. If it wasn''t for the two of us, we wouldn''t have been able to live our daily lives so leisurely,'' It was a fast ship that only cruised like that... . I just ran into a problem a while ago. All broadcasting inside the ruins had been stopped. The information was completely cut off because even the PD who was dispatched as a correspondent could not be contacted. -Sunwoo Joo: Am I the only one who can''t get into the Dangun Guild broadcast right now? -djh: Obviously, I know it''s an area where the broadcasting system is active, but why did this suddenly happen? -Kuni: There were over 10 channels, but all of them were closed. -Owl: What does KDS do? Are you not managing this? Wasn''t it an official partnership with Dangun? -Fig: There is no such thing as eating more than 10 advertisements. I''ve known since the official channel buffering took place. -Park Hye-myung: When I went overseas, Gandara and Olympus were also blocked. -Aria: What? What really happened? -Ice Ssanghwacha: It is said that there are boss monsters with special abilities, but from the 15th floor, there is not much information available, so I can''t be sure.;; Comments flooded. Damn it! If you''re not planning on running goblin raids and feeding your children, figure out what''s going on right now! Whether it''s blowing up the Tower of Trials or finding those who made it, by whatever means you need to get in touch with the correspondent! Jeong Beom-hee shouted. I couldn''t get rid of the stuffiness, so I grabbed the cigarette pack, but the inside was already empty. I''ll have to quit smoking or not, this is the won. The atmosphere of the situation room froze at the angry rebuke. ''shit. I know you''re frustrated, but what kind of coercion... .'' ''If we knew how, we built another tower.'' ''Is it overtime today?'' But that was then. The message ''NEW'' was posted on the empty channel list. What, what is this? How the hell... The monitoring staff murmured in disbelief. Captain! I think you should take a look at this! [Broadcasting has been activated.] Mooogii... Wait. Don''t you remember what the owner said? Did you say that if you make a mistake, you''ll send them all to the zoo? Hey. This is broadcast on. Huh? It''s true. Shh! Shhh everyone! Everyone, be quiet. My head hurts. A number of murmurs were heard. Since it was a private account, we couldn''t know exactly who started the broadcast. It doesn''t matter who the speaker is. Let''s see what they''re showing. -Twilight: What, what is this? Guys, is this real? I thought it was fishing, but is there a broadcast? -Pretty Jihyo: But why is the Gandhara Guild attacking the Olympus Guild? -Jay: I mean, were you trying to get your head around the news that there was a broadcast error? Are you trying to claim all the rewards amongst themselves? - Hwang Hyun-seok: Wow. It''s not about personality, it''s just crazy? -Ricca: I think we should protest at the national level. -Baroncat: I thought it was bad for me to steal my brother''s ramen noodles at dawn, but I was an angel. -Alkl: That''s bad. this is the devil The first thing caught on the screen was the Gandhara Guild attacking the Olympus Guild. A scene of aiming a sword at an ally was broadcast without filtration. what should we do . I was aiming for a place where the porters were. A sad sigh flowed from the inside of KDS, who was watching. No matter how much the Olympus Guild is, against Gandhara''s main raid, that member is unreasonable. It was obvious that there was going to be a bloody wind. But right then. Those with silver hair and red eyes intercepted them. -Ydy: Who are these? -I want to fish: Red eyes and silver hair But, are they Olympus guild players? -jun: It''s my first time seeing it too. -SSS: Wait, but he''s strong. You''re rather pushing against the Gandhara Guild! -An Enbri: Sajita is one of the top rankers in Gandhara, but it''s crazy. In particular, the two men and women in the front are absolutely monsters. -kim: Is this the implementation of justice? -Hoon: Guys, a few more live broadcasts are now open. look over there Totally mad! As you said, two live broadcasts were turned on again. I wondered if I could hear the rattle of a skeleton, and then a huge red-skinned apostle and a familiar old man standing in the way appeared. How could you not know? A person who must be mentioned when talking about the strongest in Korea. The apostle of wrath frantically swung his great sword, but Yoo Chun-young remained in place without being pushed even an inch. No, it''s not just about keeping it. As the essence of Hwarangsimbeop, condensed to the limit, was expressed through his hands, the huge apostle began to be pushed back. Yoo, this is old Chun-young Yoo. I know he doesn''t go into the tower, so why are you over there? To see something like this in my lifetime... It was when everyone''s eyes turned to the live broadcast amidst surprise and wonder. [The whisper request has arrived.] A message arrived on Jung Beom-hee''s personal status window. A message at this important moment right now. Of course, I had no intention of looking at it. If the sender''s name wasn''t Kang Jin-hyuk. Rumble! Jeong Beom-hee clicked on the status window with trembling hands. -Go, Jinhyuk Kang player... . Are you really Jinhyuk Kang player? - It''s a good name, but I don''t have time to eat it before it cools down. So, I''ll make a short and simple suggestion just once. - What do you mean by that? Jeong Beom-hee stuttered and asked, but Jin-hyuk continued what he had to say. -As you can see, I know how to break the barriers spread out in the ruins. It means that it is the only player that can broadcast live among all players. Being unique is definitely an advantage that can only be said to be overwhelming. And the reason I''m bringing this up is... . Dry saliva ran down Jeong Beom-hee''s throat. - I would like to sell a broadcast ticket. So that you can watch this raid only through the KDS channel. - That''s a great offer. -I still have a relationship with KDS. Do I have to say that I am more affectionate in many ways than in other places? -If so, how much do we have to pay for the broadcast? - 100,000 Spirit Stones and 5,000,000 Coins. Oh! Think well. I said it was a one time offer. you came As expected, there was a transaction request that required an unexpected price. Jeong Beom-hee''s mind quickly rotated. If it was cash, he would have accepted it no matter how much money he offered, but with 100,000 magical stones and 5 million coins, the entire headquarters may be shaken. In fact, it was not easy to meet that amount, even if the players belonging to the player relayed and collected raids of large guilds like crazy. However . ''If I had the right to relay this raid, the ripple effect would also be beyond my imagination.'' A few advertisements are enough. No, it is an opportunity to promote the name of KDS to the world. In fact, isn''t it that everyone in the company and viewers are insanely excited right now? ''I cannot accept this transaction under my authority. At least the chief... No. It''s something the boss has to do himself.'' The problem is I don''t have time. Now, there was no room for bottom-up reports, receiving approvals one by one. Jinhyuk wanted results right now. The company had to give an answer to the outcome right now. ''It''s all up to me.'' forcefully. extravagantly. breaking the existing framework. The above point was highly appreciated, so I made myself the team leader of this program. That was then. "Theresa there is a player too! It''s the 3rd live broadcast!" Again, exclamation broke out. Are you talking about Teresa from Europe? That Rosenberg family? That''s right. Uh... But, I guess I''ll have to watch this at the age of 19. There are a lot of scenes that are a bit difficult to see. I can''t help myself with just one thing, but since such a big event happened at the same time, I can''t help but lose my soul. The betrayal of the Gandhara Guild and the intervention of demons. Chun-Young Yoo''s official debut and even the European hero Theresa. Jeong Beom-hee bit her lip. The worries didn''t last long. We''re in charge of this broadcast. Call up all the kids who are on vacation. Notify the upper management and tell them all to come into the company. I''ll take all the responsibility. Don''t babble. Hey, the chief at this hour? Whether it''s the director, the president, or the president. Tell them all to come out! Do you think I''ll get compliments if I said that I couldn''t contact you to avoid disturbing your sleep? No way. Rather, the fate of the company will be at stake, and there will be complaints about whether or not you have the brain to report. Oh, I see. The employee looked through the phone''s address book with a white face. The broadcast began with the fate of the KDS company at stake. kukukuku! The atmosphere trembled violently because of mana''s collision with mana. Wow! The apostle of wrath, no, a deep voice came out of Refels'' mouth. The opponent is only one old old man. By the way. Why the hell?! Are you saying that he, who has the strongest combat power among the seven apostles, is being pushed behind? It''s impossible! Refels raised his sword high once more. [Refels activates Lv32 ''Painful Wound''!] The ability to deal double damage when dealing damage to an opponent. Even so, it was a great sword with great power, but now it has become a weapon that can inflict fatal wounds even if it is touched. However. Boo-woong! Boo Woong! No matter how powerful a weapon is, it is only meaningful when it is hit. Ugh! This... this can''t be... it can''t be like this! Refels swung his great sword in all directions. The sword drew a dizzying trajectory over the air with a terrifying porosity. Attacks with emotions are easy to read. That''s why I didn''t say that. The accumulated years are different. Don''t be bullshit. You humans live only 100 years, but I have existed for more than double that! The experience you have accumulated is nothing in front of me! no. Yoo Chun-young shook her head. Looking at the sword, you''ve always enjoyed playing with enemies weaker than you. That''s neither time nor experience. You''re just getting drunk with your own power and corrupting your abilities. However. I''ve been fighting my own limits. to get over that wall. to reach new heights. I quietly built up day by day. The result . [Yoo Chun-young activates Lv40 ''Spirit Rebirth''!] That''s it. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The qi that was expressed through the waist descended down the thighs and calves. When the exploding qi fully blooms through the heel. Its shape was like a giant sickle wielded by a giant. Ahhhhh! Refels raised his sword, which had become too small, high. CH 266 . Strongest Reinforcement (4) When the contract with KDS was signed in earnest, extensive publicity was poured out through the media. [The story behind the largest raid in the Tower of Trials] [Kang Jin-hyuk joins hands with European Olympus and declares invasion of ruins.] [[Yoo Chun-young''s debut.] ''Kang Jinhyuk is a benefactor who saved a life.''] [Why did the Saints of Amsterdam come here? It turns out that Jinhyuk and I had a vacation together in Europe. The engagement ceremony with the third daughter of the Rosenberg family.] [The Gandhara Guild and condemnation to India continue. The Prime Minister of India countered, ''It''s something they don''t know.'' Join our KDS channel for the upcoming press conference.] To inflate the earthworm-like story with the fact that it was the size of a blue dragon, it was nothing to Jeong Beom-hee. In fact, most of it was based on facts. -I only live today: The lineup is really crazy. Panties are about to get grandiose. -Hoon: Yoo Chun-young talked a lot about bubbles, but this time he definitely drew the line. It''s just a monster, a monster. -Choi Joo-won: Originally, the strongest people in the world were bald and old. Don''t you know Halab? -tbvj: Same with Teresa. Who the hell said he was weak, kind, and gentle? see me Is that the saint you wanted? -cel: There is no such thing as a complete blender. Mosaic is even scarier. -Black and white photo: It was me, but I will change to Nick''s portrait in the future. -Lielia: Sister, I die! (really cast iron) -Newbie: If it''s my sister, would it be okay to die? -Nine: But aren''t they all here because of Jinhyuk? Yes. The reason the prominent rankers gathered here with their work aside. It was all for Jinhyuk. Report the situation. How are you now? Jeong Beom-hee asked with a trembling voice. The overflowing expectations and the uneasiness of whether those expectations were really true were buried at the same time. TV ratings exceeded 20%. Oh my, it''s 20% on a live broadcast on the airwaves. I can''t believe it... even while watching it. Damn, the number of concurrent users... exceeded 500,000. It''s been less than 30 minutes since we started broadcasting, but it''s the first time I''ve seen something like this. Advertising is also great. With this momentum, 20 offers will come in generously, right? ''One player would have such a huge impact.'' Jeong Beom-hee managed to swallow the shouts that erupted from within. It was also right to sign the contract even after paying the down payment unreasonably. this is awesome great. ''Everyone seems to be doing their part well.'' Jinhyuk, who looked at the broadcast windows that were turned on simultaneously, nodded satisfactorily. I entrusted the filming with Sweet Potato, Jung Ryeong-soo, T-Bone, and the Ancient Soldiers respectively, but things worked out well. Thanks to the Wailing Witch''s forcible intervention in the system, she was able to take advantage of that gap. All that''s left is... . Now all I have to do is wrap it up nicely. rain! He took a mouthful of the grayish-colored meat, and the sour smell of the material spread. ''It''s a little bitter, but... It''s good enough to eat.'' Fortunately, I didn''t become like Elise, who was foaming up on a rock. Because he ate the right food, it became edible. [The curse of gluttony has been dismantled.] [From now on, you will be able to deal damage to the Apostle of Gluttony] A status window indicating success appears. -Wac: 5252 I believed you! -Hawaii: Everything was designed by Jinhyuk. Right now, all three places are being swept away by Goin Corporation. -Gim Sean: You have the devil''s talent to increase the number of views. Really. can''t see this -Lemoncello: Jinhyuk is good at eating shows. No matter how much you cook, eat that. Just by looking at it, it was like a drunken tofu. When I saw the status window that came down frantically, I realized that I had turned on the live broadcast again. right at that moment. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! The apostle of gluttony roared wildly as if celebrating victory. Maria and Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min somehow tried to make time, but they could not overcome the condition that the attack did not work. However, since I lasted more than 10 minutes in the midst of that, it means that the three of us did our part. great job. Jinhyuk nodded slightly toward the direction of the three of them. -Under the sky: I will remember! Everyone press X to say JOY. -121: You''re not dead yet, fools. Don''t kill a sane person. -mangmang: If you are Yoo Yeonhwa and Taemin Lee, you are a ranker that no one knows about in Korea, but you said you couldn''t hurt that monster? -Kyung-Min Cho: Even Maria from the Olympus Guild would be beaten. Wh. Is that a creature that can kill you? -LaTD: Isn''t that difficult even for Jinhyuk? From the viewer''s point of view, they couldn''t figure out how to damage the Apostle of Gluttony, so of course it seems difficult. It was also a factor that aggravated the sentiment that it was impossible for the prominent rankers to fall helplessly. A named monster that has failed with extreme difficulty. All the conditions for a splendid production were met. ''black I''ve used it several times, so I guess I need to show you a slightly different taste.'' Jinhyuk took out his longbow ''Molar'' from the subspace inventory. -dyd: Oh? use a bow? -lke: Come to think of it, the heirloom bow from the elf village was stolen. -Rolling Cake: Ah. I remember. The longbow on the bounty book? Written in high elven language. - Abdomen: ?? It looks just like that one. -Seo Young-jin: Oh, it must be a coincidence. No matter what Jinhyuk did. -Satan: From now on, I came here because I wanted to serve you as a teacher. -SSS: Hey. Now even Satan is on the way. Strangely, he felt remorse in his conscience, but Jinhyuk tried to ignore it by pretending he didn''t see it. Instead, he calmly changed the topic. It''s not fun if it''s just melee combat. Rather than that, give me a mission to do something like this. I heard that other BJs get a lot of those things. To remind me of my BJ days after a while. We need to increase our loyal subscribers and plunder coins through missions. There was still time before the Wailing Witch found out that the barrier she had created was broken... . Before he can deal with it, he must extract all the benefits of using the live broadcast system. -Helmangi: Look at how confident you are. LOL. - Gemstone Gemstone: Is it possible? brother. Isn''t that overkill? - Taekyung Kwon: Is it possible to speed run? I''ll bet 10,000 coins for that 10 minute cut. -Dalbug: I know that you are close with player Cheon Yoo-seong, but if you take a picture of his medical student life and upload it, I will give you 10,000 coins. -Trust me only: What kind of missions are possible? Then I''ll upload a video of me playing with Elise. 20,000 coins -tom: Feeding Teresa, who is running rampant over there, Korean-style nuclear fried chicken noodle, 30,000 coins. call? -I want to eat Yeoptteok: Ummm. Isn''t that just a mission to die? There were also some strange missions, but the coins caught were pretty cool. Being able to build ten thousand coins meant that he was a key player in a well-known guild. Except for one last thing, the missions aren''t too difficult, so there''s nothing you can''t accept. You promised... did you? at the end of that word. kukukuku! Arrows loaded with mana in their long longbows began to burn fiercely. [The unique ability ''Breath of the Fire Dragon'' is activated!] Whoops! It was then that the fire broke out. There was a fear that seemed to burn the air around the apostle of gluttony. Wow! For the first time a painful scream came from the mouth of the gluttonous apostle. you''ll be sick Because the Blessing of gluttony, which was so reassuring, could no longer protect that bloated body. But does he know? The fact that the pain has only just begun. I''ll cook you only with arrows. Jinhyeok tied the bow in the flames. [I used Lv10 ''Red Magic Bullet (ɫħ)''!] in the blazing smoke. A single flash of light crossed the atmosphere. Whoops! The body of the apostle, who had been pierced through the right knee, trembled greatly. Red bullets were fired again without missing the moment. Whoops! puck! They aimed at areas with joints. To be precise, he aimed at each joint sequentially, causing the balance to collapse to the right. Wow! Aaaah! The gluttonous apostle screamed madly and swung his mace. It looks clunky, but this is intentional production. Tuk! Jinhyuk lightly kicked his seat and moved his body to the side. At a moment where it could be said that they were almost simultaneous. A long tongue protruded from the body of the apostle. ''Yeah, it''s coming out like this.'' What appears to be a head is not a real head. The huge head on the ship was the real head of the gluttonous apostle. After paying attention to the mace, it pierces the opponent with its sharp tongue and devours it. That was his favorite hunting method. Of course, I had to write it while watching the other person. damn! Its belly split up and down, revealing its sharp teeth. The tongue was curled up inward, and a green flash of light was condensing in its place. A guy who likes to eat uses acidic liquid? Do you know that if it hits, it will all melt and there is nothing to eat? [The Apostle of Gluttony uses ''Green Shots''!] I guess I''m thinking of giving up eating. Green ray of light spewed out in all directions. Rather than aiming at the target precisely, it was a random bombardment that took only one shot. But. Aww! Dozens of flashes were blocked by red flashes. spirit (ӭ). All attacks were offset by the distribution of mana with no error. It''s not bad, but if you really want to melt me, you should have at least tripled the number of bullets you have now. It''s impossible to look pretty when you flirt leisurely. Hey! With a cry full of anger, the apostle of gluttony focused. Mana, powerful enough to be incomparable with the previous one, was aggregated. This time, it was time to shoot out more green flashes as if to block it if possible. ...what? The apostle tilted his head. Jinhyuk, who was holding the bow, had disappeared. In order to attack, you would have to calculate the trajectory while maintaining a certain distance. However, no matter how much I searched, I couldn''t see Jinhyuk''s appearance. If you break the right balance, the opposite field of view is relatively upward. In other words, it creates a blind spot. Jinhyuk''s voice was heard from the bottom left. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! I can''t interpret the Masu language, but it''s probably a question of whether he said he would only deal with him with a bow. It is true that I shouted. It is also true that I proudly declared. However. Sorry, because I''m a liar. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. [The unique ability ''Blood Fire'' is revealed!] Amulam''s unique ability ''Blood Fire'' Blood based magic. There was no doubt about its destructive power, thanks to a lot of blood that had been shed so far. Puff Puff Puff! kwaaang! The body of the gluttonous apostle exploded with a roar that seemed to leave the ruins. Fragment Pieces of meat soaked the floor thoroughly. -oo: Who gave you the mission? Sounds like a 10-minute cut speedrun. -kdb: takes less than a minute. what''s so easy? -Hoppan: It''s not easy, the skill linkage is just crazy. -Junyoung: Did you see that you were only aiming at the opponent''s joints when you couldn''t see well? Legolas or what? -Koyalya: Even that was a build-up to eat a big one at the end. creeps. -S: Because the mission is a bit difficult. Destroy the Earth or pick the Demon King''s throat or something like that. -Kim Ki-beom: But isn''t everyone beautifying them too much? You just hit me in the back of the head. It seems that there is no devil. The chat window bursting like crazy couldn''t even follow it with my eyes anymore. It was only a few seconds later that the Wailing Witch realized the strange thing. To break through my barrier... Seeing Jinhyeok smiling straight into the air, I wondered if it was possible. no doubt That''s probably a live broadcast that so-called players often do. I don''t know what the English is, but there is a hole in the barrier. As proof of that expectation, Jinhyuk changed the broadcasting system from individual to whole. Then the Wailing Witch could see the words written in the chat window. -Kim Ji-Wang: Tongha Tongha. It means wailing grandma high. -Asyam: How do you feel when Jinhyuk breaks the pot? -Darkshadow: Is it true that you feel very bad when you get hit? -tom: ha ha ha ha ha. I also want to be bullied by Jinhyuk. The cheeky people. Dare you know who I am... Don''t be reassured that I''m outside the tower. Sooner or later I''ll have a chance to visit all of you. -Rlawotjdo637: How did you? I''m afraid I''m going to get bored I''m going to change into a pair of panties. -Bamboo: The nyangnyangi in our house who starved for a week seems to be more ferocious. -level: oj. If you didn''t hit Nyangnyang Punch, tell me. - Noh Geon-hee: I am afraid of my strength. -coma: But, I think you''re going to die here before you come to us. "Ugh these miscellaneous things." Don''t you know that there''s no point in talking any more? The Wailing Witch waved her hand toward the air. [The barrier has been upgraded to 10 stars.] [All broadcast systems are blocked!] [The broadcast system is no longer available in the Ruins.] Isn''t it too much? It was viewers who enjoyed watching it. I expected it to be like this. But, it doesn''t matter. I''ve already picked up enough portions. The mission was also perfectly completed. next . Jinhyuk activated ''Eyes of Gluttony''. Name: Wailing Witch (true name is unknown) Gender: Female Age: 469 Level: 115 Strength 65 Dexterity 58 Stamina 45 mana 156 Contamination 147 Stat Points you have: 0 Unique Ability: Black Tears skill: ''Old Moon''s Curse'' Lv39, ''Advanced barrier'' Lv35, ''Herbal Medicine'' Lv34, ''Black Magic'' Lv28, ''Twisted Familiar'' Lv27, ''Guardian Manufacturing'' Lv25, ''mana distortion'' Lv25 [Copy Conditions: The Wailing Witch prides itself on her abilities beyond imagination. Even the residents of the upper floors are convinced that they cannot survive their barriers and curses. Compete against such a Wailing Witch with only barriers and curses. If you do, you''ll be able to copy one of the Wailing Witch''s unique abilities and skills.] A colorful status window appeared. ''Pollution'' that maximizes the effectiveness of curse-type skills The stats also stood out. The level of balanced skills was also stepped on. Again, the Wailing Witch is a formidable foe. But. What matters is not how strong or demanding your opponent is. The fact that you can copy the ability of such an opponent is important. A cornerstone to fight the Dragon''s Breath in the future. at Las . There is only one step left to acquire this ability. CH 267 . Introduction to barrier science (1) eyes cross Jinhyuk inserted his molars. In order to achieve the copy condition, only ''curse'' and ''barrier'' must be used. From now on, we have to fight in a slightly different way than before. But right then. The eyes of the Wailing Witch turned towards the end of the ruins. I asked you why you were so confident. Did you believe that you brought a bunch of jerks? Shake? What do you mean? Don''t break it. Because I''ve confirmed that there are about 20 or so humans at the entrance to the room. If there are twenty people worthy of coming here... no way? Something flashed through Jinhyuk''s mind. A faction that has not yet appeared in this raid. ''Dangun Guild.'' I thought it was on the side of Gandara and Main, but it seems they kicked the offer. In large guilds, I thought that there were only those who were blinded by self-interest and did not choose any means and methods. It seems that there are still some decent people out there. If I hadn''t been caught on a surprise attack, I would have really liked it. shit. You can see black liquid gathering around the Wailing Witch. He is trying to activate the worst skill he has, ''Black Tears''. This is dangerous. You caught it! Avoid it! Jinhyuk shouted. At the same time. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Black waves flooded towards the entrance. Uh... huh? Bah, hyung Park. Something''s coming! Damn. Mana''s canceling skill was overlooked. Get your formation! Turn on all survival skills! A scream erupted from the side of the Dangun Guild, which was hiding behind the stone statues of monsters. Park Jeong-jin, who was at the forefront, stretched out a shield emitting a dazzling brilliance. [Park Jeong-jin activates his unique ability ''Holy Bond''!] The golden shield completely covered the entire raid centering on the shield. Aww! When the black wave and the divine shield collided, colorful sparks bounced in all directions. ...it was close. Park Jeong-jin breathed a sigh of relief. Drop the shield! "Kang player Jinhyuk? Throw away your shield. What does that mean?" Take it out right now! Black tears were blocked, but not blocked. This is because the true value is only realized when it comes into contact with the object. tsutsutsutsutsu! A special power that changes anything it touches. Black tears belonged to the most heterogeneous axis among curses. [''Black Tears'' seeped into the shield.] [The shield is corrupted!] When it touched a living thing, it caused a frenzy, optical illusion, and mutation. Even when touching inanimate objects, he created all kinds of variables that are difficult to predict. Truly unpredictable. Therefore, the ripple effect of this ability was different from other abilities. Even the Wailing Witch, who oversees the ability, was unable to completely control this ability. Ke-e-e! The shield''s mouth opened and it started shaking. There is absolutely no monster with sharp teeth and spitting black liquid. Hey, this can''t be. Park Jeong-jin was startled and threw the shield away. The ability to bring life to an item. It was Park Jeong-jin, who thought he had experienced extraordinary abilities until now, but I swear this was the first time he had such a bizarre ability. Even a single teardrop touched her skin, and one female player screamed sharply and twisted her body? Turn it off... ah ah ah ah ah! Cow, Song, come to your senses. Park hyung! You can''t touch that body. People change like a zombie virus! Hey, damn... Are you saying you can''t stop it and you should avoid it? It''s an absurd ability. The fact that it could not be stopped by the divine class meant that it could not be offset by any other ability. The advantage of surprise has disappeared, and the space to avoid is not wide, so the advantage of numbers has become a weakness. So, while everyone is panicking. Tristan. The Wailing Witch looked at Mine next to her. Please speak. Leave the troublemakers to you. The three humans I''ve dealt with before seem to have recovered, so don''t forget to stop breathing. Maria, Yoo Yeon-hwa, and Lee Tae-min were all ready to fight again. It was thanks to Jinhyuk drinking the mana recovery pill he had additionally distributed and picking his breath. Hmm. I don''t think I''m going to have to deal with them all by myself, am I? Chuckle. Will I send you alone? I''ll give you a strong support. Don''t worry too much. But, I''m a bit weak in intelligence, so I just want you to finish it properly. It wasn''t just the shields and players who were infected with Black Tears. The reason for bringing stone statues of various monsters here. It was meant to be used in this way. [The sleeping monster statues awaken!] Whoops! Whoops! Cuckoo! Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Wow! A huge number of monsters raised their bodies with their eyes flashing. Ogres and trolls, Lizardmen and Menticores, etc. All of them were medium-sized or higher-powered names, and they were specially selected by the Wailing Witch. Ugh... Park Jeong-jin bit her lower lip. I came here to help Jin-hyeok, but I got stuck behind my back without even being able to help. Bah, hyung Park. At least we have to take the time. At least not be in the way. If you deal with monsters, it will be possible to make Jinhyeok focus on 1:1 confrontation with the boss. That alone was reason enough to come here. ''If I can somehow join the three people over there, I''ll be able to last as long as possible.'' If you add Lee Tae-min''s drones and Yoo Yeon-hwa''s tanking Maria''s firepower, even medium-sized monsters won''t be easily defeated. The worries didn''t last long. I''ll make a way over there. I''ll lead the way, so you guys cover the flanks. Damn. He said he would only let me walk on the flowery path. When I die, I will become a bachelor''s ghost and follow you. Keep in mind. I haven''t even gotten married yet. Are you concerned about other humans? The Wailing Witch opened her mouth. Not really. Everyone can protect one body. Fufu. You look pretty impatient for that. But don''t be too impatient. The guys who came here will meet each other in the underworld anyway. I''m sorry, but I''m from Confucianism. I''ll send the oldest one first, like Jang Yu Yuseo. Really. You and your viewers, you have a knack for scratching your temper. Do you think you can kill me just because you defeated the apostle? Seriously? I wouldn''t have come here if you weren''t able to cook on my own. Jinhyuk shrugged. Okay... Treasured sword to see where I can get my first move. Please, I hope you can live up to half and half of your expectations. So as not to be too boring. Whoops. The worn-out arm moved to the left. [The curse ''Blood Melting'' is activated!] Five Mangseong fell under Jinhyuk''s feet. A curse that dissolves all hemoglobin in the blood, a 4-star ''amplification'' The efficiency was maximized by overlapping the barrier. [The effect of curses and barriers increases by 30% due to ''Pollution Stats''!] It is a bonus that the effect of unique stats is also added. It''s too late now. It can''t be avoided or stopped. A fishy smile hung on the witch''s lips. uuung! The red light flickered. By the way. Hmm? The Wailing Witch tilted her head. Clearly, the magic was performed properly, but it was because the opponent who had to vomit blood from his eyes and mouth was perfectly fine. what? It didn''t take long for him to realize the true identity of the deep sense of incongruity. no way . You ruined my rite...? As soon as you saw the pattern...? It''s absolutely unbelievable. Is it sensible to identify and analyze a technique that can combine thousands or tens of thousands of combinations in less than a second? Even worn-out witches prepare in advance through a defensive barrier. After allowing the opponent''s attack, he did not destroy it. Because it was too risky. Well, it''s not that great. I''ve been studying barriers a lot lately. Damn, it''s a field I''m confident about. Don''t be ridiculous! You mean that my skills are so weak that you can recognize it just by flipping through a few books or pages! If you feel uncomfortable, why don''t you come up with a better combination? It''s not easy to read because it uses a 4-star barrier. A soft light rose from Jinhyuk''s shoulder. The ancient runes bloomed with a splendid appearance. "Is it some kind of engraving ? It was your barrier company. Yeah. That''s why it was so eloquent." Hey. Still, it looks like the eyes aren''t knotholes. Even though I didn''t want to know that it was the imprint of the moon. It''s great to know that this is a mark of barrier company. It seems that he wasn''t a complete kid. Oh. As you said, if you have shallow knowledge about barriers, I''ll raise the difficulty a little more. The Wailing Witch moved her hands this time. Pants! The runes were overlaid over the five-mangseong Fortress, and three barriers were stretched next to it. Because two hands were used, the speed of calculation and the completeness of the operation were several times higher than before. No matter how much barriers are their business, they will not be able to get out of here alive. kukuku kuk kuk! The entire ruins were in turmoil. Due to the mixture of sticky mana and curse, it felt like my skin was going to burn. indeed . Seeing how to activate the advanced magic through multiple calculations, I thought that the three witches are witches. How skilled do you have to be to be able to do that? I thought that sure. From a standpoint overlooking such a state... . It was just an extraordinary level, though. Moment. In the center, which is the base of the Five Mangseong, there is a crack and a crack. What, what? The Wailing Witch, confident of victory, opened her eyes. [''Moon Imprint'' will bloom.] kwaduduk! kwaduk! The three barriers were shattered like windows. Didn''t I tell you to fight with a slightly stronger barrier? Over Jinhyeok''s shoulder, barriers in the form of six planets began to appear one by one. three four and five. When the number of barriers reached ten, the Wailing Witch''s mouth was open blankly. What I meant was to do your best. Jinhyuk snapped his fingers. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo This time, the runes I saw for the first time were drawn at the feet of the Wailing Witch. It is similar to the five mangseong used a while ago. Hey, that''s all...! The success of building barriers is not high. He was so weak that there was no need to compare it to anything like a curse. If you want to destroy it, you can do anything. If you are a member of the Great Witch Society... ! Something like this could be turned to dust in one fell swoop! However. uh? Aww! A huge explosion occurred even before the structure of the formula could be ripped open. Gagging. Cool! Keek! The Wailing Witch staggered through the smoke and leapt out the other side. Only doubts appeared on his face, stained with embarrassment. why. Why the hell?! You didn''t understand the link between the most basic of the spells? right then A shrill voice was heard from behind. Again, it doesn''t matter how many star barriers you have or how powerful curses you mix. That combination is important. No matter how insignificant or low-level barriers are, if they are combined with barriers or curses that fit the situation, they can exert more power. If you want to fight me properly, bring out the Black Tears. Otherwise, the story will not progress. Profit! Do you dare give a lecture to me? There is no need to bring out even black tears. You can tear them apart with just my pure skill! [The Curse ''Gorgeous Type (܇)'' is activated!] [The 7-star barrier ''Proliferation'' is activated!] Numerous runes embroidered the air. The red pentagonal stars were dizzyingly scattered. The ten barriers that Jinhyeok had previously deployed were too many for one barrier company to handle, but this was more than 30 times that number. Because the color of the sky was about to change. ...that''s spectacular. Jinhyuk let out a small exclamation. It is not easy to see such a large number of colorful and small barriers. Heo Eok. Heo Eok ... Kuk. Kkkkkkal! Have you seen it! This is me! I am the one who received the title of ''Wailing'' from the Great Witch Association! The Wailing Witch let out a tearful laugh. Writhe in pain and die. Young barrier. This is the difference between the Great Witch and the milky baby. hands face up The rites were about to be activated with a bright light all at once. But that was then. [The 9-star barrier ''The Zodiac Sign (Sʮm), Scorpio''s barrier'' is activated.] [4-star barrier ''high-speed replacement (ÓQ) is activated.] Suddenly, one color of the red pentagon star changed to blue. This happens only when a new man intervenes. It also meant that the owner of the drink had changed. Soon after, the color of the reddish sky began to change as if it had been infected. I can''t even say it. It can''t be possible. Something like this... Something like this... Calculation speed... ridiculously fast Whether it''s a curse, a barrier, or a spell created through a combination of the two. All the clans that are activated are being destroyed. like that. The scene where countless red pentagonal stars are replaced by countless blue pentagonal stars . I dare not even describe it in words as a minister. CH 268 . Introduction to barrier science (2) Twelve Palaces of the Zodiac. It is a Secret Technique that reproduces the 12 constellations that can be said to be the essence of barrier company. I haven''t learned the ''lost language'' yet, so it''s just imitating the form... . The majesty of Scorpio, who dyed the sky blue, was enough to make him forget about the Flame Infusion. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo uuung! Countless lights flickered over the six planets. Like bees, blue meteor showers from the sky began to ravage the area where the Wailing Witch was. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The terrain changes. kwaaang! kwaduduk! Kie-ee! Wow! Its power was beyond imagination to the extent that even nearby monster stone statues were involved. And the Wailing Witch in the middle of the storm had no choice but to receive that firepower with her bare body. How long did the attack last like that? When the meteor shower finally stopped, the condition inside the ruins was quite different. Ahhhhhhhhhhh... My, my body. My body...! Smoke billowed from his raged body. To fit it and keep its shape. It looks like he is living with osteoporosis, but he is surprisingly strong. right then Is that? Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. A black liquid was seen glistening and gushing around the witch''s body. black tears You built up your self-esteem like that, so you couldn''t help but live, didn''t you? The moment the last constellation exploded, the black tears must have offset the damage. [The Wailing Witch activates her unique ability ''Black Tears''!] kukukuku! The ability to terrorize the raid a while ago has been recreated. Ugh. I guess I''ll have to show my power to you. There''s no shame like this. The worst ability to know what will happen just by touching it. Obviously, direct contact with black tears is dangerous, no matter how stagnant you are. ''I was wearing that in the past, but I lost my temper and attacked the Dragon Lair naked.'' Hatchling hostage... No, there was a record of death while holding a solute and demonstrating. There is also a record of kidnapping a saint, disguised as a witch, and then burned at the stake. Other than that, he had to go through all sorts of odd things to deal with the black tears. ''But there was only one conclusion.'' When I played Tower of Trials, I used a method other than barriers, but the basic roots were connected. That moment. [The first part of the jousting barrier (ħY), a ''black wave'' arises.] kukuku kuk kuk! A huge wave began to overflow. In an instant, the constellations of the zodiac were dyed black. Aww! Keeek! Red mouths and white teeth sprouted from the barrier''s surface, and they let out a terrible scream. Mutation proceeds due to black tears. However, it was only for a short time. Kick Kick Kick! Hehehe! Let''s eat. Let''s eat. The screams soon turned into laughter and soon turned into a desire for prey. In addition, the unpleasant looking eyes between the teeth began to appear one by one. Anyway, it''s filthy ominous. Even in the Tower of Trials, there will be only a few people who use such eerie abilities. The eyes turned to this direction at the same time. come. The ''moon imprint'' engraved on Jinhyuk''s shoulder shone brightly. The ancient runes have dizzyingly strengthened the defensive barrier. Stupid! Didn''t you see it a little while ago? It''s not too early for that! Aww! The black cloud fog shattered the barrier made by Jinhyeok in one stroke. The barriers that used to emit blue light were dyed black. New eyes and mouths screamed like crazy. By the way. The Wailing Witch, who was smiling of conversion, bit her lip slightly. what? Several of the barriers were uncontaminated. Almost all of the defensive barriers were tainted, but some were still bluish and fiercely resisting. It''s impossible. Because there was no way to stop the black tears. ''I guess there''s one or two things that are out of control because I''ve been dealing with too much.'' Besides, it doesn''t matter anyway. The opponent is just rushing to block it with all his might. Even that sloppy resistance will be over in a few moments. I''m thinking of making you careless. The Wailing Witch glanced at Jinhyuk. ''It''s a face that never gives up. No, it''s rather a face that seems to have a plan.'' How small variables lead to big results. How much less was the opponent who had been playing tricks on and smashing the apostles he had made so far? You must not be vigilant in the yard where even black tears have been drawn out in a corner. Even these things may be the plates he designed. ''Maybe it''s a plan to take away my barrier like I did a while ago.'' Black tears are three times more complex and faster than the existing mana, so even one won''t happen, but the Wailing Witch was planning to prepare even one. if so . ''I''ll press it down with power. With just one shot.'' The Wailing Witch raked up mana little by little enough that Jinhyuk did not notice. kwaaang! kwaang! Kiki Kiki! Let''s eat...! Let''s eat. Let''s eat! Purple eyes and white teeth continued to gnaw at the barriers Jinhyuk had made. The blue barriers were still precariously guarding the owner. Even though it was just a matter of making a difference in life with a single sheet of paper, it still did not lose its light. Furthermore. It can be seen that the number of non-mutable barriers is increasing compared to before. The prediction was not wrong. Something is happening. before it''s too late have to get rid of it as soon as. now! [Section 2 of the Jousting Barrier, ''Flower of Dreams'' is activated!] At Jinhyuk''s feet. Whoops! The mana, which had been collected little by little so far, bloomed all at once. The six black petals and the teeth sprouting from the petals . Its prey was large and sharp enough to swallow even a large species. No matter what you planned, I had the upper hand. That''s it! The flower of daydreaming is the ability of the mind-type to hypnotize the target. It was a special move that boasted the fastest and most powerful effect among the skills that can be unfolded with black tears. The phrase ''different dimensions'' probably exists for times like this. But at that very moment. creepy A cold chill ran down his spine. Jin-hyeok, who should be under hypnosis, is still smiling. However, the reason for the chill was not simply that the opponent was not hypnotized. gaze is directed downwards At the witch''s feet... Huge pupils and pure white teeth were visible. No, that''s absurd. Another dreamy flower has just finished blooming. How can this be... it can''t be. It''s the kind of thing where it''s impossible to figure out the structure. Besides, it''s stolen from me... The Wailing Witch, who was talking, realized something. If you stole the barrier... Why are there two dreamy flowers blooming here? At the opponent''s feet, the flowers he had made were still pouring mana to hypnotize them. endure it casually. Making another flower... . It''s not just stealing. Well, mana flowing in black tears. Are you saying that you have grasped it itself? I''ve seen it through to the very bottom. At those words, Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders. I didn''t learn barriers and curses as high as you, and I''m not skilled enough to handle them perfectly. In fact, it''s embarrassing to compare. You have only led this fight to your advantage by getting out of the way and using your opponents and circumstances. He could never surpass the knowledge that the Wailing Witch had accumulated. nevertheless. only one. If there is any reason to be certain of victory, it is that you are not afraid to see and learn new things. For 11 years, I have chosen to experiment rather than settle down. I came to know naturally as I walked on a path that no one had gone before and enjoyed the process. The destination at the end of each road and the shortest route to that destination. Cute. You talk like you''re a genius. Gee. You completely misunderstood my story. If I was a genius, I would have succeeded in everything at once. Those guys are the ones who create a result of enthusiasm with one effort. However, the effort was innumerable. Enough to create tens of thousands of results with tens of thousands of efforts. "Accidentally it happened because I got a job called barrier company by accident. If your job had been something else, it wouldn''t be like this." The Wailing Witch put a blood on her neck. well . Again, I think it''s hard to agree with that. "If you had chosen the job that was originally my main focus, you wouldn''t have even made eye contact with me." I chose barrier company for interest, but what if I try again with a job that climbed the tower in the past? Compensating for all the mistakes and weaknesses you made back then? Long story short, my mouth hurts. Without needing to make this long story, the witch''s neck must have been wallowing on the ground long ago. Have you ever chosen a different job? What does that mean? The Wailing Witch asked, but Jinhyuk did not answer. instead. He announced the end of the fight by lifting mana lightly. Thank you for letting me start a new fight on my own. Thanks to that, I think I''ve been able to have a little more attachment to the barrier company. The petals were gradually gathered toward one point. My vision was getting darker and darker. Come on, wait! Wait. Don''t you want to know the truth about the barrier? If you spare me, you can take me to the Great Witch Society. I can tell you the truth about this world you never imagined! The Wailing Witch reached out through the leaves. The withered arm swung desperately. I''m sorry, but I''ve been there too, but it doesn''t matter. Mouth completely closed. kwaduk! kwaduduk! Aaaaaah! Red blood gushed out like a waterfall. suffocating Only one arm that was outstretched was left behind. also . jerk. It was then that I heard footsteps. It''s not good for you as a Wailing Witch. Still, I had hopes, but it''s really unfortunate. Tristan, who was supposed to be dealing with the Dangun Guild, suddenly approached. If you leave, the rest of the statues will collapse in an instant? No, it''s only a matter of time since the witch is dead anyway. Fufu. The witch is dead? Tristan grinned. Then he approached with his broken arm. Because being a witch is quite tough. Look carefully. Even if there is only one arm left like this. Kwok. Tristan stepped on his arm. OK. aaah! A sharp scream rang out. You can be alive like this. Of course, it will take some time for your body to recover, but you can save your life anyway. "Hey such a fucking demon! Why did you expose me, who was hiding so well!" The Wailing Witch screamed madly. I can''t help but be angry at the actions of my allies that I can''t understand. However, Jinhyuk did not understand Tristan''s behavior as well. You... why did you betray the witch? You must have needed the witch''s help to survive? Hmm. To answer that question, I have to ask one thing first. What kind of place do you think this place is, Jinhyuk? I don''t like answering questions... but don''t you just answer my questions? Don''t be fooled and think about it for a second. Tristan laughed softly. It''s an ominous laugh again. For a moment, that bright smile makes me feel afraid. The reason why this woman suddenly betrayed the Wailing Witch... The nature of the antichrist tomb and its conditions. Clues and clues are combined. " " Jinhyuk''s face changed. It''s a light question, but the answer to that question is by no means easy. ...the Holy Horse. This place. The tomb of the Antichrist. It is a place where Demon Clan can be manifested. You got it right. mana exploded. CH 269 . river horse ritual There are two ways for the beings on the upper floors of the tower to manifest. The first is when you come down to the bottom of the tower by your own will. It was evaluated as a double-edged sword because it had to sacrifice a huge amount of coins or relics, but it was the most active way to move. And the second is that beings on the lower floors use specific places or sacrifices to summon those above. Just like right now. kukukuku! A huge magic circle appeared throughout the ruins. Kie-e-e.... Kyaaaah! The monster statues stumbled and fell. It''s like stepping into a giant furnace. The body melted and began to seep into the magic circle. Uh... Park hyung. Am I dizzy? This feels... something is strange. I can''t even hear my body... Dangun Guild''s raid also dropped the weapons and shields they were holding. Everyone, come to your senses! You can''t sleep. If you fall asleep, you''ll all die! Park Jeong-jin tried to protect his comrades using divine magic, but it was useless in the face of powerful demonic energy. vision is blurred The sensation of the limbs disappears, and the thinking becomes blunt. kuung! thud! one two. Everyone lost consciousness and fell. However, Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min had not lost their minds yet. Nu, sister. This is sucking mana. Damn! Oppa! I''ll take the people and get out first. Can I leave it to you? If this is the case, you will suffer You have to get out before it''s too late. I think I can do something like this with my gravity magic. Maria, too, estimated the number of people and the remaining mana by eye. thank God. there are three people Thanks to this, it was possible to prevent meaningless victims from appearing. Above all, ''that'' You won''t have to show it. Don''t worry. Go first. From now on, I''ll take care of it. Jinhyuk nodded his head. Did I say I would send them? People who will become valuable nutrients? Tristan drew her sword. Sreung! Along with the dazzling sword light, the demonic energy unique to Mine was condensed on the blade. However. Just before demonic energy is released. Whoops! Tristan''s body was engulfed in huge flames. ! The gathered demonic energy was dispersed as it was. Can you afford to worry about that? It would be better to focus on the gangma ritual? "You you are drinking useless mana. No one can survive here anyway, even if you don''t work hard." As long as they are in the ruins, no matter how much they run away, they are still in poison. The moment the Demon Clan with the title manifests, players will be scattered as a handful of dust just by facing them. And the sacrifice that will play the biggest role in the cause . Tristan picked up the severed witch''s arm. Let go, let go! Surely, you didn''t want to sacrifice the humans here for a ritual! But why...! The severed arm trembled wildly. "I originally intended to do that, but since you couldn''t deal with that person and the rest of the players, the contract terms will have to change as well." The sacrifices here alone are not enough to summon a strong Demon Clan. At least the life of the witch who rules the ruins would be enough to tell the story. I''m just going to die as a sacrifice... me? Isn''t it a fitting death? Being a consumable for great magic would be a witch''s ideal end. Tristan put her arm in the center of the magic circle. OK. kukukuku! The purple flames slowly began to gnaw at the flesh. Aww! The screams didn''t last long. The few pieces of flesh that were left soon turned to ashes and disappeared completely. And at that very moment. T-tiring! [The boss of the ruins, ''Wailing Witch'', has disappeared!] [The contribution of killing boss monsters has been recognized for 94%!] [You succeeded in copying the unique ability ''Black Tears''.] [Black Tears] Acquisition Difficulty: SSS Description: Black Tears is a unique ability used by the Wailing Witch, the owner of the ''Antichrist''s Tomb'' located on the 15th floor. It has both the mental-type ability to contaminate and corrupt the target it touches, and the physical-type ability to prey on the enemy entirely. Also, Black Tears can ''evolve'' if certain conditions are met.] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level is .] [ ] It''s up!] [You have acquired the ''Witch''s Secret Book''.] [You have obtained the ''Screaming Apple''.] [ ] has been obtained.] A number of items appeared with a message notifying the level up. However, there was no time to check how many levels were raised and what items were dropped. ''Are you coming at last?'' Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Following the indescribable glow, a vicious demonic energy of unfathomable depth rose. Jittery! Cold energy transmitted through the skin. There is no need to check A named Demon Clan with the title was coming over here. Oooh! Tristan burst out in shock. As if he had been compensated for all his pain and suffering, even a single tear was flowing from his trembling eyes. Damn, whoever sees it would think that even a dead ancestor would come back alive. It''s amazing to see the completely shriveled expression on his face. That was then. A cheerful male voice could be heard through the mist. Kyaa! It''s been a while since I''ve seen the air down there. Hahaha. Yes. This is it. It''s very fresh. It''s a taste I really missed. Black horns and emerald eyes. An exotic-looking young man with dark hair and pure white skin walked out. Jinhyuk reflexively activated ''Eyes of Gluttony''. [Name: Hargan / Title: Count / Intermediate Demon Clan.] [Eye of Gluttony''s level is too low to check unique abilities, skills, and copy conditions.] At best, the only information that can be confirmed with the ''Eyes of Gluttony'' is the name and title of the gnome. However, that is enough. The humble servant meets the great. Tristan quickly shook her head. Yeah, that''s right. You''ve worked really hard. You still have a sore throat, but thanks to you, I think I''ll be able to heal myself properly. Thank you for saying that. But, what else is that guy? Why is he holding his head stiffly at the human subject? Hargan''s gaze turned to Jinhyuk. The author is the one who seeks to disturb us and ruin the plans of the great. Many of our colleagues have already lost their lives at the author''s hands. Hmm. Who is that guy? Yes. We must kill him immediately. He is very dangerous. Tristan glared at Jinhyuk with eyes full of hostility. Yeah. I''m very proud of the appearance of a strong Demon Clan. Well, if it''s a Count-level Demon Clan, it''s good enough. A monster that makes you shiver just by encountering it. Clearly, he is an absolute that far exceeds the level of a player. But do you know that? You''re not the only one who can summon a Demon Clan. It is true that the Tomb of the Antichrist is a place where the Demon Clan can be manifested, but the target is not necessarily defined as one. Actually, there''s one leech-like guy that''s interested in me too. You''re probably still watching... . Again, sparks occurred in the air. [divinity ''rotting heart'' yawns.] hey! You shouldn''t be bored here. Jinhyuk hurriedly waved his hand toward the air. are you watching I''m not watching, so pretend you know. However, no matter how much Jinhyuk pretended to know, he only sent an indirect message full of annoyance and showed no sign of moving. Anyway, my ass is terribly heavy. Hey. Are you saying that you were a human being favored by the Demon Clan? Hargan growled as if intrigued. "To say that I''m a favorite is grandiose and I''m getting a little bit of love calls." You must have caught a rotten copper cord somewhere. Well, if it''s a Demon Clan that''s still interested in humans, who are still young chicks, it''s not worth looking at. It must also be just garbage... Hargan, who was talking, suddenly stood tall. ...? just now. I felt something creepy. A strong mana as if his whole body was being torn apart. Someone, who had been pretending not to know, responded to the word ''garbage''. What, what is this absurd demonic energy? Hargan took a step back in surprise. [divinity ''Corrupting Heart'' tilts his head toward Hargan.] [Demon world asks how old you are from the military academy.] He just showed his weak presence. However, that alone was more than enough to completely change the air. You bastard! Who the hell are you asking such a thing? Show your identity right now! [I command you to answer whatever the divinity ''Corrupting Heart'' asks.] Again, Hargan''s body atrophied. I can''t believe that the spirit has such a strong authority. I absolutely can''t resist Hargan realized that things were going strangely and slowly opened his mouth. I, I am 3537. I also got the rank of count there. hmmm. 3537 Gira. I don''t know the details of the demon world, and I don''t know if this is high or low. If you look at it confidently, it seems that you are closer to the high end. Beriel. What age group are you from? Jinhyuk looked into the air and asked. [divinity ''the rotting heart'' spreads out three fingers.] hey This is totally popcorn angle. Demon Clans are so militant that they change ranks frequently. Shouldn''t it be said that there are no tribes that are so active in their inflow and outflow? Among them, Beriel was very closed-minded, so many Demon Clans did not know him. sure. As long as some of that level has been revealed, no matter how insensitive the Demon Clan may be, he will have no choice but to feel that Beliel''s level is out of the norm. From the moment I found out that this place was a holy horse, I planned to create the current situation. Fortunately, everything worked out as desired. ''It would have been a little dangerous if Hargan hadn''t told Beriel that he was trash.'' It''s undeniable that luck was right with it. If Beriel, the capricious person, hadn''t been able to help, he would have had to stick with Hargan one-on-one. Well, by the way. Now is the time to put an end to it. Jinhyeok walked over to Tristan, who was frozen. Hargan, who has been completely rearranged, has returned to the demon world with his tail clenched. Tristan has become a full-blown barley sack. It''s a little sad to see the soul go out like this, but the misfortune is not over. It''s difficult to be frustrated like that, haven''t you forgotten that? Hargan, who played with your nonsense, won''t stay still? "You mean you won''t be standing still?" Of course. I was beaten by a dog, there''s no way I can stay still, right? Hey, this isn''t my fault... it''s not something I could have predicted... I''m sorry, but that''s not important to him. He just needs something to avenge on. This is why contracts with the Demon Clan are not meant to be taken lightly. Because the board could turn over at any time depending on my mood. Unless you''ve prepared 100 lives... well. You''ll never survive long. "I can I can." Tristan''s face turned into a blank slate. Hey, what should I do? how do you "First, get down on your knees." Let''s talk about it later. An evil smile appeared on Jinhyuk''s lips. CH 270 . ideal finish Fear of death is an intrinsic emotion of all living things. Even more so if all the efforts that have been put in place so far have all gone in vain. [The unique ability ''Sword Graveyard'' is activated!] [Lv15 ''Primal Flame'' is activated!] Jinhyuk released the mana he had been secretly collecting. Then at that very moment. Aww! A dark red spear fell from the sky. It was an attack aimed precisely at Tristan''s head. Oh . Tristan let out a short sigh. it is now damage! Jinhyuk pushed Tristan away with a loud motion. At a moment where it could be said that they were almost simultaneous. kwaaang! The window pierced the ground. The difference is one sheet of paper. If it was even a little late, a nice decoration would have been added to Tristan''s head. Hey, this is... This is the Demon Clan''s spear. Hargan. He must have been very angry. Seeing that he left behind these things while returning to the demon world. Rumble! Tristan''s body trembled like an aspen. That lofty and arrogant figure had long since disappeared. In that place, only a human being stained with despair and fear remains. Thanks to this, controlling a single person has become easier than breathing. Hey, are you trying to kill me with that? Yeah. This probably won''t be the end. Due to the demon Clan''s terrifying nature, he''ll keep aiming until he succeeds. Jinhyuk pulled mana together again. New windows appeared one by one in the air. Whoops. Jinhyuk stood in front of Tristan. The spears that were about to be shot at any moment stood tall on the spot. As you can see, Hargan is afraid of the Demon Clan who supports me. And that Demon Clan will die if I say anything. Maybe, if I ask him, he''ll wake up from his sleep and help him? Jinhyuk snorted a lot. Appropriately concealed, and Tristan''s soul was half out, the acting produced a dramatic effect without filtration. [divinity ''rotting heart'' raises strong questions about your remarks.] Beliel hurriedly opened the status window, but Jinhyuk closed the status window sooner than that. Interfere with important moments. You decide. Will you stick with the demons and die to the Demon Clan. Or will you stick with me to keep you alive. I''ll give you one last choice. If I listen to you, will you be able to protect me from that Demon Clan? Then. I can protect you. As long as the reliable Demon Clan is watching over you, there is no need to worry. [divinity ''Corrupting Heart'' roars silently.] [Warning not to talk bullshit!] Look. The great beings are happy too. They''re doing a lot of fireworks. Jinhyuk pointed to the air, There were colorful sparks coming out of the angry Beliel''s mana. It''s true. To be able to receive the protection of the higher Demon Clan... Tristan swallowed dry saliva. death or life The worries didn''t last long. ...Promise. Please keep it. Don''t worry about that part. Of course, I plan to keep it strictly. [''Stigma of Souls'' is activated!] As a good slave. As the red stigma penetrated Tristan''s flesh, a stigma that could never be denied was created. great. ''Gawain is dead and Tristan is conciliated, so the remaining demons will be nothing but empty chaff.'' In addition to being able to use the mines'' infrastructure and internal information, it was able to achieve quite a good result. If you notice other people, there will be a lot to explain, so go out the other way. I''ll contact you later. all right. Tristan nodded slightly. Jinhyuk came out of the room where the Wailing Witch was and joined the rest of the people waiting outside. There were players waiting for Jinhyuk with impatient faces. Brother! Are you okay? brother! First of all, Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa welcomed Jin-hyuk. It looked like he was completely out of stamina to evacuate the Dangun Guild, but when he saw Jinhyeok doing well, he smiled brightly. Thank you. Jinhyuk-nim. Thanks to you, we were all able to save our lives. Park Jeong-jin of the Dangun Guild, who came to the ceremony, also expressed his sincere gratitude. thank you. "I was trying to help, but I just got help." It is a voice mixed with a sense of self-doubt about his insufficient skills. They were full of pride that they belonged to a large guild, but through this raid, they came to realize. what their level is. And about how great Jinhyeok was when he defeated an unimaginably strong enemy. ''We can''t even keep up with our toes no matter what.'' ''One person is more powerful than the whole raid.'' ''How much more do I have to work?'' It will probably take a lifetime. Even fighting alongside him. There were times when I would be dissatisfied with his overwhelming talent and ability, but Rather than that, I felt more reassured that such a player is climbing the tower of ordeal for mankind. Now you''re completely a popular star. Next time I want to be with you, but at my level, there''s no chance at all. Maria from Olympus also approached Jinhyeok and asked for a handshake. If it wasn''t for Jinhyuk, he might have been betrayed by the Gandhara Guild and annihilated. Even if it wasn''t for that, the Wailing Witch or Demons would have met with wretched words. "What kind of words Ms. Maria, who is Europe''s best mage .. it''s all thanks to the people around you who helped out." Jinhyuk gently turned the ball around. It wasn''t because he had grown old or realized his humility in the meantime. Soon enough, I could only be pretending to be rewarded for being good. [The copy conditions have been met.] [''Hell Fire'' was copied.] I knew it. From start to finish. Hellfire is now able to be copied by not hitting Maria in the back of the head. With this, I secured both the Black Tears and Hellfire skills. It means that you have come to the 15th floor and have completed all the tasks you must have done. Thank you also, Senior Chun-Young Yoo. Even though it was an unreasonable request, he kindly accepted it, so I was relieved. Heh heh. Did I do anything? You organized the boss of the ruins. You said that you saved the raid all by yourself? Above all, it was the request of the benefactor who saved my life. Yoo Chun-young burst out laughing. It''s not a bad feeling. In the past, I had to solve everything by myself, but now I have colleagues who walk the road together. Such precious colleagues who can entrust their backs even in situations where they risk their lives. "I think we''re going to go to the 15th floor boss raid right away, what will you do from now on? If you have an idea, would you like to go together?" Boss? Yeah. It seems that various guilds will go out on a grand scale after hearing the news that they succeeded in capturing the ruins. My brother took care of the most difficult thing, so I think the rest is a calculation worth doing. Boss... . There was a separate boss monster guarding the 15th floor, but it wasn''t very nutritious. It would be enough to leave that to the two of us and a large guild. No, I have other work to do. First of all, I will rest for a few days and recover my stamina. From practicing the linkage of newly acquired skills to creating higher versions of abilities through fusion. There was a lot of work to be done. Besides, since the empire side must have completed the maintenance soon, a huge battle fortune will fall again. This, too, should be prepared for it. ''I must have gone to Moorim to meet Master too... .'' Jinhyuk thought of the dark hwang and trembled thinly. '' Do I have to take that training again?'' Jin-hyeok, who had enjoyed all kinds of metamorphosis-like processes up until now, had goosebumps all over his body when he thought of training with the dark hwang. Three days have passed since the ruins. Jinhyuk, who came out of the tower, took a leisurely break, relieving his fatigue. It''s okay to take a break. It was almost stretched out. After recovering his condition perfectly, Jinhyuk and Elise headed to the special training ground prepared by the Awakened Association. It''s here. It''s a completely private place, so you don''t have to worry about other people coming. Private training room available from S-level and above. Alice looked around curiously. Hey. It''s possible to even do these things. That''s pretty good for a human-made thing. But, what is this? Elise approached the augmented reality device in the center of the training room. Then, I pressed the red button in the middle with my finger. [Scan the mana of the target.] A blue light passed over Elise''s body. What a savage...! How dare a machine try to figure out Jim''s mana! Alice''s red pupils dilated greatly. right at that moment. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo [Lv??? Measurable judgment. Implement as many practice opponents as the system can implement.] Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo A large 30m-sized paper made from a hologram appeared. Black Dragon. It is the strongest creature whose whole body is covered in black plastic. De, Dragon? How could there be a Dragon outside the tower? Alice stuttered in disbelief. I was suddenly confronted with a strange type of dragon that I had never seen before, so I couldn''t help but be embarrassed. However, no matter how strong the creature was, Jinjo could not back down due to his pride. I am the head of Ataraxia. I am Alice von Ataraxia! Elise has opened ''Blood Road''. hmmm. It''s a showdown between the Queen of Fools and the Machine... . This is quite interesting. It was even more attractive that it was a battle with only wounds, no matter which side wins. Die! Die! Huh? Why do you dodge all attacks? I mean, it even has the ability to distort space...? After all, Dragon. It''s a formidable enemy! stinky horns. definitely stupid Usually, when it''s like that, don''t you even notice it? While Elise was attacking at random, Jinhyuk, who was left alone, quietly activated the status window. Name: Kang Jin-hyuk Gender: Male Age: 27 Level: 100 Strength 101 Dexterity 30 Stamina 40 mana 233 Gap 100 Luck 10 Adaptive 78 Elemental 51.24 Stat Points you have: 18 Coins held: 5,175,356 Occupation: Rune Interpreter Unique abilities: ''Fusion'', ''Sword Grave'', ''Star Blessing'', ''Anubis'' Judgment'', ''Blood Magic (Ѫħ)'', ''Mandala (_)'', ''1 second Invincible'', ''Thousand Poison'', ''White Beast'', ''All Things (f鹲)'', ''Sanctuary of the Sun'', ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong (ħʹ)'', ''Triple Magic'', '' ''Colossus Strike'', ''Breath of the Fire Dragon'', ''High-speed Sword'', ''Tomb Grave''s Right Arm'', ''Berserker'', ''Wind Realm'', ''Shadow Kill (Ӱؽ)'', ''Blood Explosion (Ѫ)'', ''black tears'' skill: The number of learned skills is too many to ''set aside'' state has been switched to. barrier: The number of barriers learned is too many to ''fold'' state has been switched to. level 100. Finally, the numbers changed. It is proof that the experience gained by slaying the Wailing Witch and the Apostles was that great. ''The time is really going by.'' At one time, looking at the three-digit level enemies, I wondered when they would reach there, but now they have reached the same level as them. It''s still a long way from its heyday, though. [Agility increases from 30 to 39.] [Health increases from 40 to 49.] It is time to raise the agility and stamina that you invested relatively little in. Only in the lower floors of the tower was able to overcome the stat gap with only sense and experience, but the balance of the stats could not be ignored as the upper floors went beyond the middle floors. great. Then... . It''s time to check the long-awaited ''reward'' that will blow away all the hardships in this raid. Jinhyuk took out the items obtained by catching the Wailing Witch from the subspace inventory. CH 271 . How do medical students at Korea University spend their days? A total of 3 items were obtained. All of them are kind of unusual. [Witch''s Secret Book] [screaming apple] [Advanced Magic Stone] The witch''s secret book is an old book with various barriers and curses written on it. It was mainly dark-type abilities, but it certainly had a lot of rare barriers and curses written on it like a witch belonging to the Great Witch Association. At least 4 star, 6 star or 7 star barriers are visible. However, it was not the secret book that caught Jinhyuk''s attention. ''Screaming apple''. this will come out Apples growing on the ghost tree (`ľ) had the characteristic of absorbing mana. It will take a long time, but it means that even the most powerful mana can be consumed completely. Jinhyuk''s head turned rapidly. ''If mana is extracted from the advanced magic crystals... It can amplify the mana absorption capacity of the screaming apple.'' Then, if you use these two properly, the final thawing of ''Frozen Tears'' will also be possible. The last step to raise a whopping 40 mana. It was so cold that I kept it in a corner of the subspace inventory for a while, but finally the opportunity to get rid of it came. Although it is a waste of advanced magic stones, it is not even worth comparing with the mana stats. Jinhyuk threw a skull-shaped purple apple to the ground. Kyayayaya! The mouth of the apple was torn long up and down. Soon, a terrible scream pierced the eardrums. It is now! [''Screaming Apple'' absorbs the ''Frost of Frozen Tears''!] Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! When the high-grade magic stone melted through ''Primal Flame'' touched the apple, the scream grew even stronger. The scream was sharp enough to cause internal injuries, so I didn''t forget to cover my ears with both hands. Areas that require precise mana and skillful slow control. However, Jinhyuk finished all the process without a single mistake. [mana rises from 233 273!] Frozen tears were shattered. This is because all mana disappeared through the 4th stage of thawing. ''Even if things work out really well, things work out so well.'' To be honest, it makes me laugh out loud. No matter how meticulously designed the situation, all the processes and results were going the way we wanted them to. No, not at that level. This is far beyond the expected category. That was then. Hey! This is fake! Alice''s sharp voice was heard. His face was dyed red from shame and embarrassment. Seriously, even like me, I feel like I want to die of embarrassment. Because it meant that you were fighting a soul battle with the hologram dragon up until now. No, I''ll tell you if you know too. I know I don''t know much about your civilization, but isn''t it really too much? Because I''m really dirty, shameful, and sad... uhm. Saying that, I feel a bit sorry. Okay. I''ll take you somewhere as an apology, so don''t try to cry. Your name is Jinjo, so why are you crying like chicken poop? ...are you going to play? Where? Alice''s voice changed 180 degrees. Since he had been locked up in the ruins on the first floor for so long, he moved more enthusiastically than anyone else when it came to new entertainment. University. Finally, there is something to see there. Anyway, the past few days, personal broadcasting channels have been flooded with comments... . It would be better to end it all at this time. When asked to pick the best university in Korea, by far, everyone would pick Korea University. A prestigious university of dreams that only the chosen ones can enter. Among them, the department boasting the most fierce competition was the ''premedical department''. Look at that. It''s Yooseong-senpai. When I entered the pre-medical department at Hankuk University, I was good-looking. I am good at sports. What am I really not able to do? You''re a top ranker even in the Tower of Trials. There aren''t many videos that you uploaded, but you''re not kidding about the number of views every time you upload, right? At the same time, the principal never misses. Ha. I''m in the library all day studying, and I feel embarrassed. Really. A voice mixed with envy and admiration resounded. celestial. Because of his icy-cold personality, he could not approach him recklessly, but Cheon Yoo-seong had an overwhelming presence than anyone else at Korea University. Because it was almost said that he was doing the 2nd episode at a time. Whether or not you know those gazes around you. Cheon Yoo-seong walked around the campus with an expressionless face. After walking along the road for quite some time, we arrived at a quiet vacant lot. crumble. crumble. I wondered if the bushes would move from side to side, and then the little cats stick out their heads. The kittens were famous for being very wary, but they approached Cheon Yoo-seong as if they were familiar with it. Eat it. Cheon Yuseong silently put wet food for kittens and chicken breasts without fat in a bowl. Shake off the contained water and pour fresh clean water. Nyaang. Nyaang. Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...! The cats ate in a hurry. A shrill sound resounded pleasantly. By the way. ...! Something ominous was caught in the spirit of Cheon Yu-seong. Although cleverly hidden, his keen sense of capture accurately grasped the opponent''s position. You bastard...! Cheon Yu-seong jumped into the grass at once. OK. Ugh wait. Wait! I didn''t mean anything bad. Jinhyuk hurriedly waved his hand. Isn''t that a bad idea? So, what the hell is this? Cheon Yuseong pointed to the numerous status windows floating in the air. The broadcasting system was already lined with chats from thousands of viewers. -Kim Jinwoo: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm -Novel addict: I thought you were caught by a killer. oh wow -Kurem: Look at the bloody eyes. 50,000 percent to live! -JeLuce: High sword type. high. - Mumma: I''m a fan! hehe! -Lch: And real. sharp did you see this? -Shin Myung-geun: It''s not like I''m hearing that I''m strong for nothing. -That''s right: In the meantime, taking care of the kittens would be heartbreaking. "Did you act innocently while voyeuring other people?" Cheon Yoosung clicked his tongue with a face full of contempt. It''s a robbery. This is just a live broadcast and secretly filmed from start to finish. Where are you driving me to be such an unscrupulous person? -Soyunmam: Isn''t that what you mean? -Ggo: You mean you drank, but you didn''t drink and drive? -Jackdaw: Judge, give me a beat here. -Jamchungi: sentenced to death. " " Yoosung Cheon opened a subspace inventory. The space was distorted, and the handle of the sword protruded halfway. No, don''t try to pull out a knife. Hey. This is campus. Swords are not allowed. -qet: I''m just trying to cut it down. LOL. -Pikachu: If you''ve done something like this, you''d be innocent even if you cut it. -Demon King of Salvation: ?j. Even if you''ve suffered so far, you can just make a 5-part series of Human Theatre. -Seol-Wol Baek: I read the concept article thoroughly, but it was harsh. -qpw: Need to implement definition in Vigilante way. public opinion changed rapidly. From now on, I''ll have to fill it up with only rogues. Only then is it dangerous Wait, wait a minute. I have something really important to do. I''ll give you excuses. What did you come here for? Actually, there were a lot of viewers who were curious about your medical school life. But among them, a huge hand bets a mission coin. At first, I wagered 10,000 coins as the mission fee, but as the board grew bigger and bigger, it soared to 300,000 coins. So. Did you turn on the radio? Huh. You don''t even think about getting my permission? Huh! Jinhyuk nodded his head brightly. -Merjang: The coin was too large to compromise. -Kyung: 300,000 coins are King Jeong. -Jeon: It''s an amount that can even sell souls. -Skskdksdkj: just [Message that 300,000 coins have been deposited] come up Mission successful ''It''s completely free to eat.'' Success. It was when Jinhyuk thought so. Meow! Suddenly, a kitten jumped up and bit Jinhyuk''s finger. It seems that he was quite dissatisfied with the mistreatment of the owner. ''cute. A guy like that is also the owner.'' By the way. uh? Jinhyuk''s body shook violently. A feeling of dizziness took over his body as if he had been hit in the back of the head. -Da: Honestly, aren''t you overdoing it? What''s wrong with that canine? -Blank: 1 damage is stuck? -I love Han Soo-young: Rather, I should be worried about whether the kitten''s teeth will be okay. -dkdjdn: That expression. that face. that action. It''s a perfect indulgence. -Gyu Hwang: I''m in my 10th year on this floor, and that''s 100% acting. -Pulpung: Is there any BJ who holds the indulgence like this? no way . Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. One of the cats... no ordinary cat Jung-Soo. It is also a kind of poison handling. When I opened my eyes, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling. I don''t know what happened, but it seems that I had lost consciousness for quite a long time because of my hazy consciousness. Where are you? the moment you think. Chunkyung! Chunkyung! It felt like my whole body was tightly bound. The bright light and the smell of disinfectant stung my nostrils. And . Cheon Yoo-seong was also seen wearing a white robe. Maybe this is the operating room? One of the cats is mixed with a spirit water. I rescued a wounded and collapsed one from the tower, and he continued to follow me. I had nowhere to keep it, so I was raising it here. Was it like that? "It seems that our Yoosung has a good personality, so the spirit beasts also follow him. But, why did I tie him up?" Chunkyung! Chunkyung! tied up tightly It doesn''t even move at all. Can''t we just relax a bit and talk? If you have a clear body and mind, you can leave the hospital immediately. I can''t. I could take this lightly and have my arm amputated with tetanus. I could die of sepsis if left unattended. No, no matter what assumptions you make, you only assume the worst case scenario. Then, why don''t you send me to the hospital? I want to be treated by a doctor who has completed residency. Or I like the healers of the guild. If it''s money, I''ll pay it... Please. Don''t be sad. If you''re a doctor, isn''t it right in front of you right now? At least you''ve learned to distinguish between arteries and veins. Left... Hmm. Maybe it''s underneath. Oh, don''t worry too much. The probability is anyway. Half and half. No, was it a quarter? Assistant. Scalpel. Cheon Yoosung exhaled coldly. Yoo, Yoosung? An earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk''s pupil. crazy. If you make a mistake, you could be killed by a crazy medical student. Instinct sent the highest danger warning. that I have to get out of here right now. Elise! Andria! Don''t just look at me, what should I do with this? Jinhyuk asked for help from Elise and Andra who were next to him. I don''t know when Andria came here, but it was clear from the circumstances that Elise had contacted them. Sister. I need a blood transfusion. Why can''t I suck blood? Andria added a word as she watched Elise diligently preparing a straw. Huh? Ah... this? You''re just trying to taste it. Only the taste. Elise licked her lips, exposing her pointed fangs. Hey. you shouldn''t Does it make sense to put on a nurse''s uniform and try to take a patient''s life now? Andrea. Calm down too You''re not even a vampire, so why are you agreeing? Hurry up stop it Stop it! That was when Jinhyuk was struggling like crazy. Mooogi...! The sweet potato ran one step forward to save its owner. [Sweet Potato activates Lv12 ''Fear''!] kukukuku! The entire operating room was in turmoil. The dignity of the ancient species was felt without fail as it spread its wings dignifiedly. There, the spirit beasts of the 5 elements and even the T-bone appeared. Yeah, good job. I was counting on you. Mosquito! Mosquito! Destroy them all. Breathe out all those ignorant bastards! Jinhyuk exclaimed in cheers. However. In the words of the following Cheon Yu-seong. "Let''s hear it Ancient servants say they like magic stones." Things started to get weird. CH 272 . A world of righteousness and cooperation. Moorim (1) As expected, Yooseong Cheon opened a subspace inventory. Ururu! with dazzling light. Colorful magic stones were poured out. mosquito? The sweet potato tilted her head slightly. However, the embarrassment was short-lived. Mooo oh oh... Large magic stones began to fill the amber eyes of the sweet potato. that''s greed Desire and greed coexist in one place. It is dangerous to leave it like this. Jinhyuk, who made that decision, quickly opened his mouth. Guy, Kuma! Don''t fall for it! I have the Magic Stone, haven''t I forgotten it? The Magic Stone that KDS promised to receive. If I ate it, my stomach would burst and die? Well. Is there anything like this out of the ones you decided to give out there? Among the magic crystals that Cheon Yu-seong kept, there were some that were completely different from ordinary magic crystals. "Cow, an attribute magic stone!? You how do you do that?" A gust of wind came out of Jinhyuk''s mouth. There are several ways to apply attribute magic to an item, and the one that boasts the most efficiency is the use of that attribute magic stone. Even the failing gangchon blacksmith was able to slap the royal blacksmith''s cheek... . It hurts my mouth to tell you about that performance. Are you Kuma? mosquito! The sweet potato replied vigorously as if not to worry. But I don''t know why it''s in Cheonyuseong''s arms. I don''t know if the light of Breath is pointing this way. Master. Don''t worry. I will protect the Master''s life no matter what. T-Bone...? Yes. you are the only one A faithful summoner. It was when Jinhyuk''s eyes were about to get wet. "You are the undead summons that he had." Dalgrak! Yes. I am the Master''s pet. I am the Death Knight T-Bone! I came to this place with one loyalty..., Just as T-Bone was about to continue speaking confidently, Cheon Yoo-seong poured a glass of milk into the crystal glass. I have something to give you. The 7th floor, the finest milk brought from the Millennium Ice Ranch. I don''t know, but the owner of the ranch said that it is the best product in the whole tower with a sweet scent. Dalgrak. Just smelling it makes my bone density increase. It can''t be compared to the ogre milk the Master gave me. T-Bone''s pupils gleamed with a smile. "And maybe the spirit beasts I know that they prefer the ones that fit each element, but am I wrong?" Cheon Yuseong continued to line up the items. For Undine, Etrien water is good for beauty. For Sylphid, a dress imbued with the Blessing of the wind. Salamander was given the lukewarm flames of the Morsomon Volcano. Master. Thank you for that. I was watching Human TV a while ago and I heard that you reap what you sow. The owner is a really good owner... Whoa. I won''t be able to talk about it. I''m dead. No, I''m sorry. My true intentions are gone. Everyone, be quiet. My head hurts. The spirit beasts turned their backs without thinking for a second. Unbelievable . That damn savage bastard. Since when have you been preparing for something like this? You did such a good job, but you''re trying to slap me in the back like this. It is possible to turn on a live broadcast outside the tower just by investing a coin, so I invested a huge amount of money to plan this work. If it ends like this, there are more harm than good. However, the most worrying thing is not the loss of coins. You must have taken the Hippocratic oath, right? Don''t avert your eyes and answer me. Don''t worry. I''ve said it before? You don''t put your personal feelings into the operation. Obviously, I must have said that before at a bar in Hongdae. Why are you blowing swords into the scalpel? Above all, if you hold the scalpel so high, doesn''t that mean you''re going to stab me? The housekeeper will do it perfectly. I''ll finish it with one knife. Cheon Yoo-seong had a bright smile that melted the hearts of those who saw it. It was a smile like the congestion that had accumulated until now had disappeared at once. Sister. Aren''t you supposed to help? It''s okay. Poisonous people don''t die easily. Yoosung! A mournful scream echoed from Jinhyuk''s mouth. A garden illuminated by the dazzling moonlight. Here, out of the rules of the tower, the six shadows gathered. Beings in charge of the big things and small things of the tower that even the divinities can''t take care of. It was the ''senior managers''. The only thing they could hear was each other''s voices because they were hidden in the shadows, but they all talked as if they were familiar. Didn''t I say that everyone is gathering today? Only one person is empty? There were only 6 people sitting on the 7 stone chairs. One seat is vacant. It is said that there was a small local war between the Nordic divinities and the Egyptian divinities. Isabelle-sama was away for the post-processing. Hasting opened his mouth. War? Well, the two factions couldn''t eat each other, so they were anxious. Huh. Let''s live quietly. The work to be done will increase like a mountain. "Because the two most militant powers of the great powers in the upper tier are joined together." Complaining voices erupted from all over the place. Senior managers who have to maintain the balance of the tower are not happy with such a large event. right then The biggest shadow, who had been silent, drew out a heavy word. This time, the reason is ''crown'' Is it because of that? Crown. Yes. The reason for all the strife, and one of the most important relics in the tower. To get to the top of the tower, you must collect all 7 crowns. However, no one has gathered all the crowns scattered in the tower. Of the seven crowns, only five had a fixed owner, and even that, only one had more than two crowns. So, the kings of the military officers floated the towers and were only looking for an opportunity to rise to the top once more. That''s right. After Odin lost his crown, the influence of the Nordic divinities fell. The fact that there are 7 administrators is to protect the 7 crowns. To be precise, to ensure that those crowns go to those who deserve it. Well, actually, whoever has the crown. As long as the process does not violate the rules of the tower, there is no problem. Yes. We are bystanders and guardians. We only need to watch and intervene against those who break the rules. A single shadow''s gaze turned to Hasting. But, not everyone seems to think so. Isn''t it? Hasting. What do you mean? Traces of the movement of ''them'' on the 50th floor were found. Judging from the reverberation of mana, it must mean that the seal was broken and there was a gap somewhere. Primordial beings? Is that true? ...obviously, their intervention would be forbidden. You mean you broke your promise? A great commotion arose among the shadows. It is speculation that the fifty-fifth floor was cracked by mana''s reverberation alone. Mana was only oozing through the barrier because of mana''s too strong. It is still well maintained, I promise in my name. Hasting shrugged. ...Really? Are you going to tell me a lie? There''s no such thing as a threat enough to collect all the crowns anyway. Neither divinity, nor residents, nor players. What you''re worried about will never happen, so don''t worry too much. No matter how absurd a monster it may be. No matter how powerful a force with powerful people. You can never collect all 7 crowns. Until now. And forever and ever... . exactly . There is no one who can make such a surprise. That''s right. It was a premise that all senior managers tacitly agreed to. Moorim located in the middle of the tower. This place, which is strong enough to form a barrier with the Empire, is a gigantic coalition made up of numerous clans. As it was moved to a region that is almost similar to China in reality, it was also a place where players belonging to China used as a major base in the past. There were only a handful of people who made it to the 20th floor. After a few days of rest, Jinhyuk finally found this place. ''It''s amazing to come here after a long time.'' A huge town filled with crowds of people. When I saw the noisy street, I realized that I had entered a new floor. It''s a pretty bustling place. I''ve never been to this place, but it''s not bad as you said. Master, you have to walk a full dalpo from here to reach Mt. Hundreds. Of course, if you use light work, you can greatly shorten that period. Cheon Yoo-sung and Wol-young added one word each. Jinhyuk was planning to go straight to Mt. Hundae, where Heavenly Demon Protestantism is located, but Cheon Yuseong said that he would go to the volcano wave and meet Chuhonsayeong. Since the teachers who teach the sword are different, the destination is bound to be different. ''Go and study hard.'' Be strong and strong and strong again. That way, you will be able to copy the delicious skill next time. [Breath of the Blade - Passive] Acquisition Difficulty: SS Description: Not just the sword-wielder, all swords have their own unique breathing. If you acquire this skill, you can increase the potential of your sword. (However, the limit of the potential that can be raised varies depending on the skill level and the level of training.) A deceptive effect that makes it possible to rank up the weapon itself. This is the skill I got by meeting Cheon Yooseong. ''While I was fighting the Wailing Witch, he left to get this.'' You must possess at least 10 sword-related skills, and you must have mastered swordsmanship for more than 10,000 hours. Therefore, ''Breath of the Blade'' was very difficult to obtain through the normal route. Of course, the story would be completely different if it was possible to eat raw through copy conditions. Looking at it this way, this ugly swordsman looked quite pretty too. After 90 days, he will come to dedicate another skill. If I give good skills three times in the future, I might be able to close my eyes on the resentment at Hankuk University. maybe it is That was then. It''s all good, can''t we go somewhere and eat something? If you want to be on this floor anyway, you have to get an ID card or something and then move? The mask with geometric patterns grumbled. It was Alice who decided to take on the role of Unknown, no, Unknown. squeak. The sound of the Titanic departing from Alice''s ship reverberated. Are you saying that after eating 30 rice balls a while ago? You ate all the vanilla ice cream we had for dessert by yourself. Haven''t you already forgotten? Bar, you said you can eat as much rice as you want. And ice cream is a light bite. Is 4 ice cream mouth-watering? Originally, you can eat rice and snacks separately. The sweet caramel macchiato and tiramisu cake were also delicious. Oh right. Don''t forget that we decided to go to the cafe together next time! At this point, it''s hard to tell if this guy is a vampire or a beggar. However, I agree that you should take a break. If it is not here, there will be no place where you can rest comfortably for the time being. ''I''ll have to secure an identity card as well.'' On the floor dominated by Moorim, an ''identity card'' is absolutely necessary. With the concept of a modern resident registration card . Without this, it will be an achievement of the five generations and the old file room, and in addition to that, you will receive a mountain of various penalties in the system. This place is under the jurisdiction of the Kunlun faction, how do you go to the military officer and take the ID test? Cheon Yu-seong brought out the most basic method. Level 3, Level 2, Level 1, and Express. Depending on the test results, the types of identification cards you can receive also vary. Of course, that authority has also changed. The higher the recognition, the more comfortable you will be able to stay in Moorim. It''s a test... Of course, you should see it. Of course I plan to take the test. However, in a slightly different way from the usual test. "You are you planning on doing this again? I don''t care about the water supply, so all I need to do is get any ID cards. If you''re thinking of harming me with something strange " Huh? Ah. Don''t worry. There''s no way I''m going to harm you. I''m just going to look at you normally. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. The most uneasy smile in the world hung around his lips. CH 273 . A world of righteousness and cooperation. Moorim (2) flight officer. Managed by Jeongpa, this place is known as the most practical military officer among the five generations and old file rooms. The reason is simple. This is because the closest place to the Heavenly Demon Protestant Church was the Kunlunpa located in Cheonghaeseong. The breakwater in the middle garden that you will encounter first when you enter the midfield of magic. The pride of the faction that still lives and maintains that age in the midst of a political battle where blood is washed away. It was ''Kunlun ()'', which symbolized clouds and dragons. ''I''m tired of hitting the bullshit now.'' As usual, the governor of the military officer, Jong Mu-ryang, started the day and looked at the list of people who wanted to enter the palace. The war with the Empire is not over yet, and after the Heavenly Demon Protestant Church ends its closure, it is unknown when and where variables will occur. No matter how many talented people there are, they are not enough. However, among those knocking on the Mistweaver''s door, there were few who could be put to good use than those that sprouted from drought. How about the children who were directly selected by the Moorimmaeng this time? I see children from samurai families who are not well-known but well-known. Jong Moo-ryang asked General Tae, who was next to him. General Tae, an elderly officer, was a real housekeeper, taking care of the chores as well as the big things of the Unmu. Yes. It''s definitely quick to learn, but you''re too young. You''ll have to wait a while to get it right. "After all, if you want to use it in a hurry, it means that you have no choice but to bring in nangin or scoundrels." I didn''t like it when I used this kind of shortcut to avoid the eyes of long writers. This is not the time to choose the means and methods to achieve results. Above all else, in order to fight the magic, I had to put aside things like morality and humanity. In our case, shouldn''t quantity be more important than quality? In that sense, we can procure any number of consumables. More than 300 people came today alone. Hmm. The more knives, the better. Jongmuyang nodded his head. Soon, the two came out of the main building and headed for the dance hall. Whoops! The gymnasium was already overcrowded with a large number of people. tt Zhongmu-ryang''s tongue flicked violently. ''I don''t even want to rank 1st or 2nd, so please come in even if you''re at the middle of the 3rd class. Was I expecting something so big?'' I thought I had lowered my expectations, but seeing it in person, the spectacle is not like this. Seriously, if you were a talented person, you wouldn''t get a badge of rank from a military officer on the outskirts of this area, but would have found a prestigious military officer in the middle with his family on his back. That was then. ''Hmm?'' The eyes of Jong Mu-ryang, who were only voicing complaints, narrowed. in front of me... It felt quite heavy. Three men and a man in a mask. There was nothing to see, the man with a smirk in front of him, but other than that, the rest were all unfamiliar. ''Oh. I don''t think it''s all about chaff.'' Maybe it will be a pretty interesting test. General Tae. Please order. Cross-reference. Let''s start the test right away. This time, I want to see the results quickly. Jongmu-ryang sat down with his eyes full of anticipation. The Seven Stars Heavenly Sword (섦) is called ''Cheondoak''. Oh. I''m sure you''ll meet the master of the seven swords that wrinkle the blue sea. My name is Cheong-ho. In the world, it is often referred to as ''Neoryeong Unsword'' (년). Oh! Of course I''ve heard of it. Daehyup was also a great person. Hahaha! The dwarf is the invincible priesthood. Call me ''Tae-ryong''. I can''t do that. Even the famous Taeryong Daehyeop! To see the main character of the incident that made Moorim uproar in person. This test must be the most intense test ever. Since all the great talents have gathered, it feels like my heart is beating fast. Everyone was busy introducing themselves. The sound of laughter and rattling makes my ears hurt. What is the Chilsung Heavenly Sword? What else is the Thunder Spirit Wing Sword? Are they the absolute masters who survived the war of love? Wolyeong. Do you know them? Jinhyeok unluckyly ran out of luck. I''m hearing this for the first time. Are you saying they''re amazing people who are wrinkling Cheonghae? To me, they only look like those who wrinkle their parents'' backs, but... No. There must be something. It is difficult to attach the nickname of Invincible Priesthood if you are not really confident in your own abilities. Just looking at the overlap with my past, when I shouted ''the sunset is setting,'' I could feel an unusual momentum. Instinct tells That''s... Definitely ''real''. No, it has to be real. You say that you are the main character of a big incident. Surely there must be a terrible incident with all kinds of conspiracies and dark struggles of masked people? Come to think of it, I think I heard that a grocery wagon going to the Heavenly Demon church was robbed a while ago. It was a wagon that had no escort because it was made by servants. ...Ummm. If you look at the atmosphere, they definitely look like people in hiding. Jinhyuk scratched his cheek. Whatever it is, Jim doesn''t like clothes like this at all. Elise looked dissatisfied with the clothes she had bought at the market before coming here. It must be a little boring because he is the type of person who likes to wear colorful and old-fashioned things. Hold on. Your original outfit is too conspicuous here. Still, I like the crown. A cloak made of fur. A golden staff too! Are you even going to play your majestic little queen? I''d like to lock him up in a stroller. Elise was constantly whining, but Jinhyuk passed all his complaints to one ear. I''ll have to buy a hairpin later on or put it on. That was then. fist! A shout was heard from the podium. From now on, I will start the Municipal Officer''s identity plate test. Tae Chong-gwan, with a solemn expression, looked down at the theater. Everyone''s attention was focused. "As they entered the entrance, each of them must have received a postcard." Come to think of it . That''s right. They gave me a black postcard... Me too. Is this correct? One by one, I took out the small postcards I had kept in my arms. The word Tu was engraved on the surface of the yopjeon, which was cast with black iron as the main material. I''ll give you half an hour (1 hour). Only those who collect 5 or more coins, including yourself, will be considered to pass the first test. It doesn''t matter whether they live or die, so those who are afraid even now should fall out. "All, five " I''m going to take down at least four people. Turn it off... A heavy moan came out. About 300 people gathered here. Five of them means that only about 60 people can go to the second exam. Fierce competition was expected, but it''s not so bad that you can get at least a 3rd grade loss even if you only go to the second exam. At least, if I passed the first test, I could have achieved my purpose of coming here. That was the common thought of everyone here. The air subsides, and a distinctive look in his eyes. Sreung. Chunkyung! As they cleared their breath, the sound of their weapons being pulled out could be heard here and there. Usually, in this case, a stranger is the target. Of course, they would aim for this place rather than those who exchanged nicknames and gave names. ''I guess we looked pretty shallow.'' Wolyeong and Elise were very small and thin. Does it feel like it can be easily suppressed with just a little bit of force? Besides, Jin-hyuk is also revealing his flaws as if everything is cumbersome, so there is no prey better than this. If you gently pass the postcard, you won''t have to get hurt. As if waiting, a group of men approached. A little while ago, they were the ones who said it was the Seven Stars Heavenly Sword and the Thunder Spirit Cloud Sword. With great power comes great responsibility. I don''t want to wield force against the weak. Of course, there were also giants who had the nickname of Invincible Priesthood. hey Putting it all together like this makes me feel like I''m watching the Avengers of the Moorim world. His solemn appearance and momentum are not inferior to the Master of the Moorim and the Heavenly Demon. great. if so . Jinhyuk poked Cheon Yooseong''s side, which was next to him. Yoosung-ah. ... what is it? I can''t help it. They say that you''re an idiot and that you''re going to lose to Jindol, who is raised in the open. It''s a bit harsh, isn''t it? I have to go and show him the bitter taste of swordsmanship once. I can''t stand this Don''t be ridiculous. Why do I have to play around with your words? Besides, you should be able to wipe it all out by yourself. Why are you making me do this and that? "Because I have this." Jinhyuk activated a status window. There was a familiar face. it is heavenly Exactly... Cheon Yu-seong is wearing a high-quality French maid outfit. Should I unpack this on the bulletin board at Korea University and unpack it at once? The icy mascot of the Hankuk University pre-medical department, Cheon Yoo-seong, actually has a secret hobby. The video that was inducted into the ''Hall of Fame'' during the battle with Antrad was partially edited at the request of Cheon Yoo-seong. However, this is different. No mosaics or editing . It is a pure ''original''. "You mean you had that ?" No matter what, there''s no way I''d have thrown away this precious thing. I''ve made about 3,000 copies. Anyway, if I ever get into an accident by someone, it''ll be uploaded to the world immediately. "You you fucking bastard!" A vicious life rose from Cheon Yu-seong''s body. Of course, it wasn''t Jinhyuk who would be afraid of that. Once at the opening meeting, once at the MT, once again at the end of the class meeting. Finally, once at the graduation ceremony. Fun things are my taste when everyone sees it together. Isn''t it? You will never die well. Even if I sell my soul to the Demon King one day, I will surely kill you. Cheon Yoo-seong, who was angry, immediately lowered his head as if resigning. Demon King... . [divinity ''Corrupting Heart'' quietly shakes his head.] maybe it''s a bunch Because even the Demon King has become helpless. Sreung! The sword sprayed a dazzling sword light. Cheon Yu-seong walked towards the center of the theater with a hardened face. You seem to be the strongest in the group, but you''re the one coming? I''m the Seven Star Swords... Shut up. Cheon Yoosung stopped talking. I''m not in a very good mood. So swing your sword when it''s time to play. I''m going to fight right away without revealing my name. I''m sure the minions will be swayed by their emotions and lose. As Moorim''s senior, I''ll concede to Samhap first. spatula. what? The fragmented seven-star sword fell. It was a bonus that the pants were cut so that the insides were visible. An invisible sword attack. Qingdaoak didn''t even know what had happened yet. Instead, a familiar liquid ran down the crotch of his pants. Hey, I''ve finally found someone who can pull out my invincible priesthood. Now, take it somewhere. Step 1! ''Kwon-Woo-Woo-Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... Those were the last words left by the giant. Wow. How can a person fly that high? Jinhyuk exclaimed and looked at Taeryong soaring high in the sky. Still, I don''t think it''s a complete lie to say it''s invincible. Seeing his limbs wriggle even when he was knocked down to the ground from a height of 10m. At a moment where it could be said that they were almost simultaneous. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The floor of the gymnasium made of platinum stone began to crack like the shell of a tortoise. [Cheon Yuseong activates his unique ability ''Song of the Sword''!] Spit out all the coins or nabals. Before I kill them all. Cheon Yoo-seong, who was under stress due to the video, exuded a terrifying energy. Yooseong-ah. We only need about 16 pieces for our share. Take it easy. You know? You''re a doctor, not a mortician. If you say this, you won''t be able to hear it anymore. It wasn''t fatal with circumstances in hand, but it was quite a spectacle to see the Moorims, who appeared with some weight, run away crying and screaming. CH 274 . A world of righteousness and cooperation. Moorim (3) Ahhhhhh! aaah! A desperate scream rang out. For those who, at best, have only learned the third-class Mugong, the Cheonyuseong, which spews out swords, could only be called a disaster. As things took a strange turn, the targets of the remnant changed. Hey, monstrous! Give up on that guy and hit the others! At someone''s cry, the goal changed from Cheon Yu-seong to Jin-hyeok. Boo woo woo! Swords and spears fell straight down at Jinhyuk''s body. No, I was going to pour. Kaaan! A muffled sound interrupted it. The blade stopped about 10cm above Jinhyuk''s face. You man. Did you dare point your sword at the master? It was Wolyoung. Thanks to the subordinate that supported him resolutely, Jinhyuk did not have to lift a finger. What is this gisaeng-raebi-like guy? Are you saying you''re going to fight instead of being a colleague? "Ki, gisaeng Oraebi?" Fireworks flashed in Wolyeong''s eyes. live. It''s also the kind of obsessive-compulsive intent to kill the opponent. It was hard to bear talking to Jinhyuk like heaven, but he insulted himself. This has crossed the line for quite some time. The shame she felt right now was beyond imagination because she was a complex Wolyeong with a slim body and a fine appearance. [Wolyoung activates ''Shadow Kill''!] What to do if you''re angry... ahhhhh! Puppupuck! Whoops! Teeth bounced off like corn, and a thick haze of blood arose. Because the distance was narrowed so quickly, the man could not even finish his sentence. front and back left and right. The skill of hitting the side that loses balance before falling down to keep you standing... . It was never human. What kind of supernatural power is that with that body... Hey, they''re monsters. no rival at all. Wolyeong, who beat an adult one head bigger than himself, was terrifying. Did those words come from this mouth? Or is it this mouth? Here? Here? Huh? Tell me. Oh, can''t you talk anymore? bang! kwaang! Whoops! Wol-young swung her fists relentlessly with an evil smile on her face. Hmm . ''When I first met him, he was cool and had a good atmosphere, how did he become like that?'' It must have been bad water. The culprit is probably because of the heavenly nature. It''s called silent darkness. From now on, I''ll just have to stay by my side. Damn! It''s all wrong. Aim for that little boy. Yeah, yes. One little kid can handle it well enough. I hope he''s not strong enough to be that little boy. There is only one option left, Alice. Jinhyuk quietly shook his head. No, I think it would be wiser to just leave us alone and fight amongst you... I don''t know why they''re only aiming at this side like a foal whose eyes have turned. Even hyenas give lions a fold, but how can people called humans be more ignorant than that? However, it was already too late to give a warning. As long as she spit out the taboo, no one could stop Elise anymore. Huhuhuhuhuh. Jim is not a kid. A kid... he''s not a kid. These anemones! Hey! To be honest, I''m just a kid from where I looked! The little boy was furious. kukuku kuk kuk! The sky was dyed red due to ''Blood Road''. one two. Various weapons that had fallen on the floor floated into the sky. Uh huh? Is it ''chaff, supreme supremacy (Քz)''? My, how deep is the void? Even with a Sword Qi or a sword sword, it will bubble and turn over, but you will also see a fighter that lifts objects with its inner air. Now, only the thought of losing my identity and living with Nabal filled my mind. Do, run away! Save people! Hey profit! A hell that has completely turned into chaos. Everyone threw away the postcards they had and crawled out of the gym. The sunset to see at this time is also quite charming. Jinhyuk secretly smoked a smirk on the edge of the dance floor. A black lump quickly escaped from the sneaky subspace inventory, but no one cared about it. Hey, this can''t be. Tae Chong-gwan. Is it right for me to see... right now? Aren''t we dreaming? "I can''t believe it either but it doesn''t seem like a dream." Flying insects crossed the mouths of Jong Mu-ryang and General Tae, but he did not even think to drive them out. It''s a natural thing. Because what was happening in the theater right now was far from reality. Aww! Aww! Soldiers being smashed in one blow. it''s good there It''s only natural for someone to fail an exam, isn''t it? The problem was that all those disasters were being done by just three people. When a man with a height of more than six feet and a sharp impression swung his sword, the terrain and features were completely torn apart. sword steel. It is also a very high level. The young Confucius'' ability to move through the shadows was also difficult. The high-speed movement that reminds us of an outstanding assassin is difficult to follow with the naked eye. There is even a person wearing a mask whose depth of the interior is unknown as a point of fire. ''I Even if we fight, will we be able to defeat one of them?'' Jongmuyang swallowed dry saliva. it would be crazy To be honest, even if it was a life-and-death match, the win rate didn''t seem to exceed 40%. In particular, the opponent who wears the last mask is different from the other two. However. It''s not because of those three people that I''m really afraid right now. ''That guy... .'' Jong Moo-ryang''s eyes turned to Jin-hyuk, who was quietly holding his arms. ''Isn''t it weak?'' I looked at it as funny because he was yawning or giggling as if it was bothersome, and just smiling blankly. I thought it was just someone else''s bridesmaid role or an attendant role. It was an illusion. It was never weak or lackluster. only. ''The realm... It was invisible.'' A realm that cannot be seen by himself, the ruler of the Mistweaver and one of Kunlun''s apex masters. How strong is it that even at this moment the other three are still stuck and obeying his orders? ''The climax... No, maybe he broke that wall.'' When I thought about it that far, goosebumps all over my body and the tips of my head burned up. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart was beating like crazy. At any cost, you should be drawn to this place. If he could recruit such a high-level master, he would remember the name Jongmu-ryang not only among the long-running members of the Kunlun faction, but also the entire Moorim Maeng, and he would surely praise him for his work. The worries didn''t last long. stop! Jongmu-ryang jumped up from his seat. I don''t think it''s necessary to proceed with the test any more. That''s right. Gwanju is right. What are you doing? Without serving the Daehyeop. The commander-in-chief hurriedly gave the order. What about the wounded? "What are we responsible for, whether they break bones or crawl? Get them out of the way. We have big guests now, so hurry up." Yes, yep! The soldiers belonging to the military officer immediately carried out the order. Anyway, in the name of preventing the Heavenly Demon Protestantism here, Kunlun''s breath was stronger than the imperial family, so no one complained about it. Turn it off quickly. Don''t be hit by hitting it while being stingy. The soldiers tapped the wounded with a stick. If it''s too late, it''s a force to beat you relentlessly. Sleep, please wait for a moment. My leg hurt when I fell, so I can''t walk properly... Didn''t you say that you are learning the invincible priesthood or something? "There are times when it becomes invincible and there are times when it doesn''t " Come on. Then, I''ll beat you until I become me. Push everyone out! Aww! Go, go. You can go! A mournful scream rang out several times, and soon after, the crowded auditorium was completely empty. The treatment of the Municipal Officer has changed 180 degrees. Cheol Gwaneum (F^) and various refreshments were prepared in the main hall. Seriously, since I showed my real skills, my eyes widened. " " " " Cheon Yoo-sung and Wol-yeong did not even talk about the car as usual. You don''t eat? It''s just that I don''t like it very much. I wasn''t hungry enough to eat what the factions gave me. Yeah? It''s pretty tasty, but it''s a high-end snack. Jinhyuk shrugged and put the medicine and Hana in his mouth. Whoever doesn''t eat this loses. On the other hand, Elise exclaimed continuously and ate up all the sweets and honey syrup in the porcelain bowl. filth filth. "Masit wow um. This short-skinned Jimmy taste well is it. Afro Mani, make sure you have it ready ." Inflating the cheeks like a hamster is a bonus. I''m not taking it away, so eat it slowly. Above all else, do you feel the taste when you put it all in one bite? And when you eat, protect the body. A kid called to go. Huh? Look. There''s a lot of sugar in your mouth here. Jinhyuk stole the white sugar from Alice''s lips. Gee, what are you doing now...? It was when Alice''s voice was about to become sharp. Rumble! Jongmu-ryang with a yellow identity card opened the door and entered. You''ve been waiting for a long time. It seems like it took a long time to find this, a high-grade ID card because you don''t usually have to take it out. Come on, get one. Jongmu-ryang handed out four yellow identity cards, one by one. [You have acquired the yellow ID card!] Type: 1st class Description: A hand that can prove your identity while in Moorim, you can use the druids and cups of each region at a low price, purchase weapons and herbs, and receive rare quests. Duration: Until your stay in Moorim (up to 90 days) By the way. Jinhyuk, who received his identity card, had a strange smile on his face. Grade 1 was over the duty limit. it''s not express Obviously, I know that there is a hand with a higher level than this, but... Ah. It''s a special plaque. Actually, I have something to tell you in relation to that. According to the rules, to give a special plaque, you need to get one''s consent. Haha. A mischievous laugh flowed out as if he had been caught. It was obvious what he was going to say, but Jinhyuk pretended not to know and took a sip of tea. Jongmu-yang continued to speak. It seems that you don''t belong yet. How about coming to Kunlun? Not only will you get a special plaque, but you''ll also get treatment commensurate with your skills. Hey. Are you going to enter the Kunlun school? Yes. This is not a suggestion for anyone. Only the descendants of the well-established and famous families can enter the Odaesegagawa Goo Pilebang. Hey. It''s an honor to hear from you. I didn''t know you would make such an offer. Hey Hmm! A lot of words... Isn''t this all for a cause. If I can drive out the evil magician, I can pass on my authority to my status. A mischievous smile appeared on the corner of his lips. Okay. Think positively and make a Treasured sword. Because I also needed a strong back. Oh! A wise choice. Zhongmu-ryang immediately took out another tile from his bosom. ''Express'' made of platinum lose When the deal was made, the air softened. However. The warm atmosphere did not last long. kwaang! Wow, Master! The door opened with a shattering sound, and a man rushed in. What''s the fuss? You said you''re having an important meeting right now, so don''t disturb anyone! I''m sorry. I have something to tell you... The man who had been holding his breath for a while hurriedly posted a report. A thief has entered the treasury! All, the potions and many other items... are gone. What, what? The treasure trove has been robbed? Standing, I guess that''s not all gone, is it? "That the secret book disappeared as well." Unbelievable. Jongmu-ryang jumped up from his seat with the flagship. No matter how much he went through all the antenatal care, he was surprised this time. Hey. I guess you''re a thief at times like this. It''s embarrassing. Jinhyuk clicked his tongue. In fact, the cost of taking the exam becomes sluggish. Also, Jongmu-ryang is trying to take a break from being distracted by recruiting new talent. No matter who it is, it must be very meticulous and without blood or tears. look at me Seeing the smoke rising from afar, it looks like it has started a fire. You will definitely be punished. cancer. Don''t let lightning fall from the sky. "I''m sorry, but it seems like it should be done as nothing that went into trouble. What we needed was a strong back, but people who were robbed in their own house were a little untrustworthy. Jinhyuk calmly drew the line. Of course, I didn''t forget to take good care of my special cards. Lee Ik! What kind of guy are you? Did the Heavenly Demon Protestants even invade? that . The man who was reporting hastily provided a clue. He looks like a young Imoogi who hasn''t become a Dragon, but he''s screaming ''mosquito''. I don''t know what that means... Well. Looks like it''s time to step out. CH 275 . Heavenly Demon Protestantism (1) A mountain a little far from the Mistweaver. Jinhyuk stroked the lovely sweet potato over and over again. mosquito! Okay. Did you have a good outing? Mooooogi! The sweet potato rolled her eyes and wags her tail softly. He seemed to be feeling better when he smelled a lot of the fragrant grassy scent for a long time. That was then. Bee... The sweet potato spit out the half-melted medicine from its mouth. What else is that? Cheon Yoosung asked with a surprised face. There are a lot of good medicines in the Mist Office. Even if they are not Shaolin''s Shaolin Great Hwandan or Shaman''s Jasodan, we have stocked up on a lot of intermediate and high-quality items so that we can respond immediately to magic. Thanks to that, our mosquitoes were able to grow very quickly. If not, I would have eaten just about 70. Jinhyuk activated ''Eyes of Gluttony''. [sweet potato] Race: Ancient Age: 1 Level: 156 Strength 105 Dexterity 138 Stamina 120 mana 192 Strength 104 skill: ''Acid Needle'' Lv6, ''Time for Dinner'' Lv6, ''Acid Breath'' Lv7, ''Fly'' Lv11, ''Peer'' Lv12 Characteristics: When the ancient servant fights, the master''s mana is also consumed. Normal combat requires 5 mana per minute, and intense combat requires 15 mana per minute. He ate the magic stone he received from KDS, and this time he inhaled a lot of various medicines. Even considering the characteristics of the ancient species, which are fast-growing, this is crazy growth. ''Now, the dragon''s unique stat, dragon power, has been raised in earnest.'' Jinhyuk had a satisfied smile. Here, in the treasure trove, I got a secret book that looks quite unique, a long-term treasure, and a treasure sword, so there was no other way to express it other than saying it was a jackpot. Did you see it? This is how the deceased gets an identity card. ahem. I''d wrap looting in arson like that. I''ve never seen a guy like you live for life. Master. Heavenly Demon Protestantism doesn''t do that. Hey. The house of the person who served refreshments and tea is burnt down. Why don''t you take out the liver and gallbladder before selling it? Criticism was pouring in from here and there. Arson and looting. Haven''t you seen them do it before? It was still good to see how he changed his attitude relentlessly when he was only fluent in saying that he valued righteousness and cooperation, but failed the exam and was judged to be useless. What kind of warriors are those who are strong to the weak and weak to the strong? If you look at what they are doing, there are no thugs at all. Hmm. It was disgusting to see him trembling visibly. You might think of it as a causal retribution. Cheon Yoosung nodded his head slightly. Then I hurriedly asked if I remembered anything. Wait, but wouldn''t our cards be useless if this happens? If they do a little research, they''ll find out about your relationship with the sweet potato? Well, I guess. Even if the faction is Hogu, there''s no way they''re not aware of it. Because the information network of a huge power was not so weak. "Then, does it mean that all the things you did earlier were all in vain, whether it was a limited edition or a Nabal?" No, it''s not bullshit. I''ve got some great treasures from the Mist Office. Furthermore . Actually, even if I got the special plate, it was okay even if I didn''t get it. From the beginning, I didn''t intend to get an identity plate there. It''s like that. You can go to Heavenly Demon seminary and get it from your master, but what do you cling to those who are full of nonsense? At first, I only said that if I wanted to stay in Moorim, I would need an ID card. There was no saying that it had to be received from the faction. The reason I brought a platinum identity card was simply because the price of platinum was expensive. At the casual answer, Cheon Yu-seong''s face wrinkled. Then what am I supposed to do? Are you sure you''re not asking me to go to Heavenly Demon Protestant Church together? Um. You go to Chuhonsayoung sister and ask for it. How many cards does that sister have in mind? " " Sreung! Cheon Yu-seong pulled out his sword halfway without saying a word. No, wait. Wait. Did I just ask you to like me? Of course, I also took away what you gave me. Look at this. It''s an awesome sword. A long sword with a crane engraved on it. It looked unusual at first glance, as it was stored in Kunlunpa. Even if it doesn''t have an attack power, it''s a sword of over 4,000. It''s light in weight and mixed with many years of age, so it can withstand even if you raise the sword to your heart''s content. Thank you? Say thank you quickly. Wait, that''s not important... You''re always like that. You don''t even care about my last name, which I''ve worked so hard for you, do you? No. Don''t blur the point and be straight...! Again. You''re trying to win by grabbing the tail. Don''t you know that losing means winning? Here, pretending not to win and saying thank you is winning. Isn''t that right? Jinhyuk exhaled like a rapid-fire cannon. " Yes. Thank you so much." He felt cheated, but in the end, Cheon Yu-seong reluctantly nodded his head. great. Even the most troublesome guy would be comforted. ''Then let me check some loot.'' Jinhyuk looked at the old book that the sweet potato had brought. It''s a very old book... Because of the age, even the letters on the cover had been erased. Obviously, I thought that the Kunlunpa were mainly stocking medicinal herbs. Jinhyuk carefully used ''Eyes of Gluttony''. [The low level of ''Eyes of Gluttony'' limits some of the target''s information!] [A book written by someone in a very high state] Acquisition Difficulty: Unmeasurable Description: The second Heavenly Demon This is a secret book written by Baekwolcheon when he was just entering the realm of extreme demons and attained enlightenment. There is one mental method and two basic forms that can learn the essence of the Heavenly Demon god, but it is almost impossible to understand because it is so difficult and difficult. look at this The 2nd Heavenly Demon, if it''s Baekwolcheon... . no doubt It was the same guy who turned Cheonghae into a swampy field during the first political war. Come to think of it, at the end of the First World War, I read an article that said that he went to Mt. Hundae in Kunlun and gave a shot to the main school of the Heavenly Demon Protestant Church. ''Are you saying you got this and kept it until now?'' Even if it is a secret book written at the time of entering the polema (Oħ) rather than the realm of talma (Óħ), if it is a secret book written by Baek Wolcheon himself, it is a piece of great value. It is a pity to inform the Moorim League. However, if I try to study it properly, it is full of things that I cannot understand from the very first chapter. In the end, I had no choice but to hide it in the warehouse. ''No, you might not even know that this is a secret book written by the 2nd Heavenly Demon in the first place. You might be just guessing that it was written by a great master.'' If I had known that Heavenly Demon wrote it, I would have taken it much stricter than this. This is going to be fun If used properly, this secret book will be a very useful Hidden card when you go to Heavenly Demon Protestant Church. Jinhyuk kept the secret book in a corner of the subspace inventory. right then T-tiring! A red status window appeared in front of everyone. [Bounty event is triggered!] [All ID cards have been invalidated!] [From now on, you will become the achievements of the Five Generations and the Old File Room.] life or death. 500,000 coins per pair, 1,500,000 coins for the initiator. Deadline: Until you leave Moorim (However, your bounty may be canceled if certain conditions are met.) ''I noticed it sooner than I thought.'' From now on, the entire area of Jeongpa is a dangerous area. But it doesn''t matter. This isn''t the first time I''ve been wanted as a bounty. ''More than anything else, this is much more fun.'' It is not suitable for aptitude to go easily and easily. stimulating and fresh. That''s the way Goin-Mul Corporation is aiming for. Among the top leaders of the faction, there are only five people who have broken the wall of transcendence, including the current Moorim Maengju and those who are hiding. Because even the long writer of the volcanic wave did not reach the state of the present state. Therefore, the Moorims belonging to the faction deliberately downplayed the Heavenly Demon Protestantism. To inform the other factions in the tower that they are the masters of the Moorim, not the Heavenly Demon Protestantism. Heavenly Demon''s inaction has been exaggerated and rumored to have declined a long time ago and is buried in the 100,000-year-old mountain range. ''But, that''s not true.'' The modern Heavenly Demon is a catastrophe of Manma. Even if it is called divinity, it is an absolute that cannot be taken carelessly. If it wasn''t for that incident in the last World War 3... The faction would not have been able to maintain even its veneration now. Jinhyuk looked at the single road leading up the mountain. This is the only road to Mt. Hundreds, and at the same time, it is a temple site that is said to be Hamheung Chasa if a foreigner enters it. Of course, this is the case when an unauthorized person enters. Master. There are some pretty troublesome traps from the beginning, so I''ll take the lead. Wolyoung skillfully adjusted her stride. No, it''s okay. I told Master that I would be here around this time... Jinhyeok, who was talking, immediately blurred his tail. Obviously, it was true that you said you were visiting the Heavenly Demon Protestant Church, but... . ''Would a master I know pave the way for me just because I heard it?'' In Jinhyuk''s mind, the events of the old tower of ordeal flashed past. The answer to the question is one. of course. That''s not going to happen. ssuk. I could feel a very subtle movement around me. Hmm. Alice''s center of gravity shifted slightly backwards. Wol-young realized the change a beat later. Wait! I belong to the Black Wind Club...! It''s no use. Wolyeong. These guys. They''re not human. Jinhyuk stopped Wolyeong. Sir, you''re not human. What do you mean by that? Gangshida. The number seems to be around seven. I didn''t feel the qi, but considering the unique scent, it was presumed to be ''Mukryonggangsi (ī`ʬ)'' mainly dealt with in Heavenly Demon Protestantism. shit. It''s said that a disciple has come, and a writer called a teacher sends a lecture with Shadow greetings. Throughout all time in the East and the West, such an ignorant Shadow greeting will never exist. Aren''t they pretty picky when it comes to mukryonggang, an intermediate level? How. How do I break it all down? I can wipe out all the corpses from my line. Alice raised her fingernails as if to just talk. "I think it would be convenient if you did, but I think the purpose is me." Maybe it won''t be recognized if someone else comes along. Because what Master wanted was me and no one else. great. If a teacher has a personality, isn''t it the job of a disciple to match him? You guys are resting in the back. I''ll finish it soon. [The unique ability ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong (ħʹ)'' blooms.] Whoops! A black energy surged along Jinhyuk''s two hands. Kurre... Kie-ee! The bite came right away. thud! kwaang! Two Mukryeonggangsi came out of the forest. A terrible appearance with its whole body blackened. They are the ones who made all kinds of herbs and poisons to prevent swords. Attacks aimed at the shoulders and thighs unfolded at the same time. But right before the black nails touched Jinhyuk. Shrek . Jinhyuk''s new model disappeared like smoke. King of swordsman. The foot technique, which had already been polished countless times, was looking beyond the level of Lee Hyeong-hwan. I know that each of these is quite expensive, but it''s not my responsibility if I can''t use it. Jinhyuk moved his fists that gathered a bunch of mana. kwaaang! blow, There was a huge wind hole in the body of Mukryeonggangsi. Even the body that repels even swords, the Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong couldn''t stand it. ''one animal .'' next. Jinhyuk''s body turned counterclockwise and he swung his elbow with rotational force. kwaduk! Kueek! This time, the face was sunken. Both of them were incapacitated in an instant. However, I have no intention of stopping this. Jinhyeok flew into the forest first before the other five came out. A breeze blew past. Arrived behind the rock. ''After all, you were against the wind.'' Jinhyuk smiled brightly as he looked at the five Mukryeonggangsi. What followed was a huge storm. When the inner cavity, which had been condensed to the limit, exploded, the trees in the forest were uprooted. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Naturally, the whole body of the Mukryeonggangsi in the middle of the bombardment area evaporated. I think that''s enough for greetings... Or should I go a little more wild? Jinhyuk shrugged. Then at that very moment. Puhahaha! No. That''s not enough. It''s not disappointing as expected. A pleasant laughter erupted from right next to it. CH 276 . Heavenly Demon Protestantism (2) A muscular old man. Yija is one of the two hobeops that assist the Heavenly Demon, and is the creator of the Black Heavenly Demon Hwanggong. Long time no see. Master. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. Come. It took a lot of trouble to come this far. I was worried about what would happen if I was weaker than the last time we met, but it seems like it was useless. The dark hawk chuckled and laughed. Beside him, there was also the appearance of the masters belonging to the White Temple and the Shadodae that he met in the Empire. Hahaha. You sent me until Gangsi to check if it was rain or not. At the end of the day, I almost left for Mt. Bukmang, not Mt. Hundreds of thousands. If that was the case, wouldn''t you have sent Yin and Yang Gang Si at all? I would bite your tongue and die. Well, it''s all right. Don''t complain too much. If your name is my disciple, you have to deal with it even with your eyes closed. I haven''t learned anything yet... Hum! Hum! Dark Hwang coughed in vain. Embarrassed, he quickly changed the subject. By the way, I didn''t know that there were other guests besides Wolyeong. Is the author your colleague? The dark emperor''s gaze turned to Elise. He covered his face with a mask, but he couldn''t hide his inner essence. A sharp and sharp energy penetrated into the mask. However, it was not Elise who would be swayed by the flag of the Dark Emperor. Pants! A spark occurred, and the foreign energy was cancelled. In an instant, a single gravel on the ground turned into powder with a popping sound. Huh? A strange exclamation flowed out of the dark hwang''s mouth. Breathtaking nerve warfare. The air changes rapidly. " " Alice tilted her head slightly. It seems that he will not avoid the fight that has been walking, and he has the momentum to bring out even a unique spear if he is still. shit. Anyway, that''s the problem with being proud of yourself. If I didn''t like it even a little, I threw it all over and started. right then ...you guy. It looks like you''ve found a pretty good companion. He''s very talented and the prayer contained in it is like that of a typical magician. Hmm. Of course, such a person can come into the main school. Yes? Huh? Jinhyuk and Elise shouted at the same time. Come on, let''s go now. Because of the delay, we have to hurry if we want to go before the sun goes down. Without saying anything, the dark hwang took the lead. Heh heh heh heh. As if feeling better, Elise hummed continuously. I don''t know why, but the Dou Qi that I spit out a while ago has completely disappeared. Why do you have so many ups and downs? You didn''t hate Master, did you? I used to, but now I like that grandfather. Hehe. Elise moved with light steps. Did you like the similarity between the vampire''s unique mana and the demonic energy of magic? In any case, those who are absolutely self-sufficient cannot understand what the hell they are thinking. How long would you have walked like that? When the distance between Jin-hyeok and Am-hwang became quite far. A white lion approached the dark hwang who was at the forefront. What you can feel on your hard face must be worry and concern. Are you really thinking of accepting the author as a disciple? A person who is not affiliated with the main school, and much less a Muslim.... The white man carefully opened his mouth. I know what you''re worried about, but don''t worry. ...But, the best. Now, all the three great masters who have been scattered around the school are back. Besides, isn''t it a situation where three new masters have been added during the 10 year closure period? Is it the story of the people who said they were chosen by the Left Beop? A total of 10 masters, including the Heavenly Demon, the two Hobeop, and the Simma Spirit, are all gathered together today. Yeah. It''s a sensitive situation like walking on a knife edge, but I think it''s better not to provide a new stimulus for nothing. In particular, the left-handed method is... a person who can''t understand the inside. They were the ones who were gathered under the giant girders called Heavenly Demons. Only the left hand method was different. ambition. Even if you don''t show it openly. Inside him, hot molten iron and fire were boiling. To give an excuse to catch a weakness among such vigilantes, as a white warrior, had no choice but to be very anxious. It''s a natural thing. Because magic was originally a group of people who killed someone, took it and made it their own. But. A white man. There was still no change in the face of the dark emperor. Yes, yes? He said that this seat was definitely fine. just say You only decide for yourself. Because no one but the Heavenly Demon could command him. And whoever decided to have it once in his arms never threw it away. Obviously, the period between the two of us isn''t long. As you said, its roots aren''t even in Moorim. Nevertheless, I''ve decided to accept him as my disciple. I don''t know why. just I just felt the familiarity and nostalgia as if we had been together for a long time. I want to trust my senses. Beyond the flowing wind, a faint smile formed on the corner of Dark Hwang''s lips. That smile was a smile the Dark Hwang had never shown before. John. The white man bowed his head. Heavenly Demon The parish of the Protestant Church. Heavenly Demon. Six men and women were sitting to the left and right of the empty upper table. These are the top ten masters of Heavenly Demon Protestantism. Even if the two hobeops and shimma spirits are the same, are they still in Heavenly Demon? We haven''t seen each other since the closure. I''m worried that maybe something is wrong. An old man with age spots and a scaly appearance opened his mouth. number 8, It was a poisonous old dragon with the nickname of Dokryunsu (ɏ). I''m really worried... Rather than saying that, it is a tone that wants to be wrong. Oh my gosh. Does the old man have any greed for power? Heavenly Demon corrects it, so don''t worry about it. The girl guarantees it. Sohohyang, Sohohwannyeo (ֻŮ), had a bewitching smile. Ranked 5th. Just like a master who excelled in minor magic, the atmosphere around him became sweet with just a smile. Quuk! Who is talking about the greed for power on the subject of a female fox? "It looked completely that way to my eyes, or not." Soho Hyang smiled softly. Anyway, it''s been a while since we''ve met and we''re having a nervous battle. That''s superficial. Keukkeuk. Well, we don''t say hello or exchange. It''s cheesy. The rest were added one by one. But that was then. kwaang! The door to the civil war was smashed with a loud noise. Chuckle. I''m too late for this. From Heavenly Demon... Hmm? It looks like you haven''t come to the civil war yet. it is dark sulfur It wasn''t just a matter of a day or two. Destroying property was also familiar to everyone. But. Even in that journey, there is a law that must be followed. In particular, among the two hobeops that assist Heavenly Demon... . Especially if you are in charge of the Friendship Law. Amhuang, no, friendship law! Who the hell are they? The voice of the poison old dragon stood up. This is the Heavenly Demon exhibition. It is a forbidden area where only those who have permission are allowed to enter. However, as a foreigner I see for the first time stepped in, of course, it was absurd. Speak softly. Can you hear everything? These are my pupils... um. They are fiancees. My, your disciple? ...are you saying that the Friendship Act brought in disciples? no way . At Amhwang''s words, this time, shouts of disbelief flowed from here and there. It was Amhwang, who rose to the position of the Friendship Act at once with an absurdly strong force, but for a long time, he did not have even a single disciple. This is because none of the Heavenly Demon Protestants fell into the eyes of the Dark Emperor. "Then the author is the Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong?" Yes. You can use it. The Black Heavenly Demon Hwanggong (ħʹ). Numerous technologists have tried to learn it with the black-and-white martial arts, but they all failed. At best, the limit was to imitate the Mugong, the Black Sky, who simplified it. By the way. learn it If he hadn''t said it himself, he would never have believed it. Indeed, then, it is understandable that the Friendship Act is interested. May I ask how many surnames the author has reached? It''s a 4 star. It''s not exact, but at least he saw the Mugong that is equivalent to that without too much trouble. Ki, you''re not using the basic Basic Form, but you''ve reached the level of 4 stars...? "At that age, that would be possible." "Do you mean a monster ?" Everyone''s eyes turned to Jinhyuk. Seeing him standing calmly in the face of suffocating pressure, he is definitely not an ordinary guy. Still, it''s a 4 star level. It took 10 years for even Ho Myung Ho, the owner of the Black Wind Club, to achieve the 3 Heukcheongong Castles instead of the Black Heavenly Demon Hwanggong. That''s why you''re saying you brought the author to the main school. "No, I want my disciple to have the same authority as the main seat." "The same authority as the Friendship Act Now, the girl must have heard it right, right?" What else are you asking after hearing it properly? So. As a disciple of the Friendship Law, you can freely go to and from our school... but you won''t follow our doctrine. In a word, isn''t it about asking for the freedom to work as you please? That''s exactly what it is. He nodded his head as if he was correct. Such nonsense! Friendship Act! Are you sane? Fuhahaha! Did your old man have a ghost? Did you even rot your brain during 10 years of closing? It doesn''t make sense to receive such special treatment just because it''s a small talent. Besides, there''s no way to prove all of this other than the words of the Friendship Act, right? Hmm. It''s like this as well. Amhwang shrugged his shoulders toward Jinhyuk. Well, I was expecting it. If nothing, show me. Why do you deserve special treatment? And. "Why did the main branch decide to accept you as a disciple from the moment we first met?" entire. All right. Jinhyuk stepped forward. Heavenly Demon Protestant tenth master. Some of them are missing, but they are strong enough to give you chills just hearing their names. He has learned Mugong specialized in one, and his actual experience is also different from those of the Moorim people he has dealt with so far. ''That''s amazing.'' Jinhyuk looked at the faces of the masters in front of him. Ranked 5th to 10th. They are monsters that never fall out. However, you don''t have to worry about them all attacking at once. They are tall people in their own way, so even if it''s because of their face, they won''t be able to step forward. It would be ridiculous if we went directly to the disciple of the Friendship Law. We will also call the disciple to deal with it. So-hee Ja. Yes, my lord. A young girl appeared at Sohohyang''s call. He was waiting outside, but with Sohohyang''s permission, he was able to enter the Heavenly Demon. Sreung! The sword that came out of the sheath scattered a dazzling sword light. Seeing that the yin is terribly spread, it seems that the girl has also mastered minor magic. However, just then, the Venomous Dragon intervened. No, you don''t step forward. I''ll finish this on my side. Oh my. You''re being proactive. What''s going on? Do I need a reason to go out? Fufu. Do whatever you want. You are a person who has a lot of feelings for the friendship law, so this time, a girl will give you a special concession. thud! thud! It hit the floor twice with the staff it was holding. Shell! At the sharp voice, a shadow appeared. Did you call? Yes. It is said that the Friendship Act has welcomed a disciple. Please let me know how strict the hierarchy of the school is. Huh. If that''s the case, just leave it to me. With a fishy smile, the shell approached Jinhyuk. I think I''ll be able to care for my younger juniors. Yeah. How did you feel about coming to the main school? It would have been nice if you had seen the scenery a lot before going to bed. The natural scenery was nice and everything was good. It was a perfect day until the old senior did something stupid. What, what? Kook, you idiot? And if you''re going to care for me, don''t even think about touching someone else''s body, and just touch your own face with the oozing broth flowing. Mugong training or improvement of internal strength... Of course it''s good, but at least you have to wash your face, don''t you? very just. I can''t tell if this is a beggar of openness or a master of Heavenly Demon Protestantism. If you only eat Byeokgokdan and swing your sword, how would you feel? . I think Yooseong, who is walking 100 ri away, will know where you are hiding only when a person with a male and female name exudes the smell of a gutter all over his body? It''s almost like a walking billboard. Yeah... do you even know what you''re talking about? Ah. I said, but you don''t even know what it means? I''m not as far-fetched as you are. Uhhhhhhhhhhhh! An unbearable shell took its place. CH 277 . Heavenly Demon Protestantism (3) kwaang! He seemed excited, but the timing and speed of narrowing the distance were surprisingly cool. fast! Jinhyuk missed the attack by a single sheet of paper. once. And twice. The dagger ran through his hair. Boo Woong! This time, the dagger seemed to draw a semicircle, but then changed direction and aimed at the thigh. Rather than inflicting fatal wounds, it is a move to succeed in an attack at least once. ''poison .'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. Upon closer inspection, the pair of daggers were smeared with a very faint translucent liquid. As a disciple of the poison old dragon, he will mainly deal with poison. You dodge like a loach. How about this? [The shell activates ''Shell Poison Mist (ؐF)''!] It was then that the green cloud appeared. The appearance of the shell was blurred for a moment. Boo Woong! Aiming at that time, the dagger crossed it. ...! This time, he avoided the attack according to the trajectory, but the timing was off by about 0.1 seconds from the previous time. It was breathtaking. Jinhyuk widened the distance. ''Is it the kind that acts on the sensory system?'' Since it is in the form of a molecule, the effect will be reduced... . If exposed for a long time, it will be fatal to victory or defeat. Heh, it''s called Gyesan poison (ᶾ). When mixed with shell poison, it interferes with the circulation of Qi and penetrates into the danjeon, so it''s quite effective when dealing with the climax. Oh, of course, don''t worry too much. You don''t have to worry. That''s very reassuring. Senior. Jinhyuk took a stance. If you do it in moderation here, it will leave room for you to see the liver again. So, you have to press firmly. It was because the overwhelming difference was the surest way to be recognized in Heavenly Demon Protestantism. Venomous Dragon, Shell, and Sohee Ja... . role and situation. Each Mugong and corresponding countermeasures are collected. great. Jinhyuk wet his lips with his tongue. A plan was laid out how to make the most perfect stage. right then The shell caught Jinhyuk''s back. Attacks continued to lure them to the desired place. By the way. Scratch! Surprisingly, Jinhyuk was defeated by the first move. A thin line of blood was strewn across the floor. "This is so futile. Does it mean that the person who only suffers from this kind of thing is a disciple of the Friendship Law?" Calcium poison and shell poison on the knife seeped into the wound. With this, the match was decided. no. I thought it was decided. Uh, how did you... get my poison and still be okay? An earthquake occurred in the pupil of the shell. By now, the opponent who should have been lying on the floor in the foam was fine. Aren''t you smiling casually, as if nothing happened? It''s not really a big reason. It''s embarrassingly low level to be called poison. A foreign body got in and I just lightly detoxified it. Well. [The unique ability, ''Thousand Poison (ǧ)'' is activated!] [The unique ability ''Star Blessing'' is activated!] [The unique ability ''Mandala'' is strengthened!] Interpreting the type and composition of poison through ''Cheonpox''. Optimized healing is performed through ''Blessing of the Stars''. In addition, impurities flowing through the danjeon were removed through the ''mandala'' and the danjeon itself was protected, so it was able to cope with any poison. ''If I did not know the type of poison, it would have been a little troublesome.'' That''s why you shouldn''t be overconfident. Why are you giving out such valuable information? Sue... low level? My poison? "Ah. I''m sorry. At your level, it might be quite high haha." Profit! Dare, you look at my poison that I have been taught directly by the poison old dragon. Come on. I''ll see where that confidence can go. A new energy permeated the shell''s dagger. It is a poison of a completely different formulation than the one I used a while ago. Of course, there''s no need to confirm that it''s even worse. Goes! With a lively voice, the new shell disappeared. However, because of his over-excitement, he did not see the shell. The thin ice that formed under his feet. Ugh? It was good to dig into Jinhyuk''s side, but the landing spot was too slippery. Shell''s body shook violently. I knew it. The ice made through ''Glacier Sculpting'' did a great job. ''This angle and speed... and direction.'' Everything flowed perfectly as Jinhyuk designed. Slightly twist the elbow of the shell that lost balance, causing the dagger to miss. All the way the dagger flies. Whoops! The deflected dagger pierced into the flesh of the other person next to him. Oh ? So-hee Ja looked at the dagger stuck in her shoulder with her eyes wide open. It was an attack that flew from the blind spot perfectly, and I did not expect that memorization would come to the onlookers. If it was a teenage master, I would have avoided or accepted it somehow. So-hee Ja''s poor skill also contributed greatly to the tragic finale. Hey. Senior. No matter how angry I am, what do I do if I take my anger out with Aman? Or were you trying to immerse your rival in favor of a poisonous dragon? At first glance, it seems that the shell was completely determined and threw a dagger at Ja So-hee. Come on, wait! Shell tried to make excuses in a hurry. Where are you going to open your mouth? huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A black energy formed in Jinhyuk''s fist. Kwon (ȭ), who raised the ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong'', smashed the dagger and burrowed into the shell''s abdomen. Aww! Kuruk! The shell, whose body had been bent by the giyeokja, flew to the opposite column and was smashed. Come on... Sohee! So Ho-hyang quickly checked Ja So-hee''s condition. Because he used poison that was close to fatal, his life was in danger if he didn''t hurry. On the other hand. You bastard! The Venomous Dragon cried out, unable to control his anger. He noticed that Jinhyuk had created this situation on purpose. kukuku kuk kuk kuk! There was a roar that seemed to collapse the entire Heavenly Demon battle. The pillars shook with the explosion of the flag. I''ll make you pay for this prank! Hands dyed green up to the wrist rushed towards Jinhyuk. But just before the poison old dragon''s hand pierced Jinhyuk. Obviously, you intervened first? Someone appeared between them. It was Elise, who was furious at exposing her life to her contractor. kwaduk! Elise intercepted the venomous dragon''s wrist. At the same time, the other hand aimed at the poison old dragon''s neck. [Blood Lord ''Golden Circle'' is activated!] Although hidden by the mask, Elise''s red eyes turned to gold. A type of blood system magic. It is an ability that is only displayed in close combat, not long-distance. Suck! The poison old dragon, feeling a sense of crisis, teased his hand dizzy. KwaKwaKwabang! kwaaang! In less than a second, an invisible siege came and went. The sum of the divisions was only about five. However, the venomous dragon instinctively felt it. that your opponent is never lower than you. "You you you " It''s surprisingly good. I thought I''d cut a hole in my neck with one blow. Conversations of opposite temperature differences crossed. right then Elise. Jinhyuk grabbed Elise''s shoulder. Huh? It''s okay to stop. Hey, but did that person attack first? You really aimed for it. Hey, maybe he was trying to do something ugly because he was dissatisfied with the match? It''s not a faction that hits the back of the head or hits you if you''re bored here. There''s no way the great Heavenly Demon Protestant church has a small group like that. Is that so? Yeah. Not like that. Isn''t that right, Master? Puhahaha! It seems like you are a complete winner. Cancer. This showdown is a battle between you and the shell. No one else can intervene. The dark emperor''s gaze turned to the poison old dragon. If this is strange, I will not stand still. " .." The poison dragon reluctantly retreated. He was upset, but there was no reason to go any further. Then, I''ll ask you to take care of the little things. Apparently, Heavenly Demon doesn''t seem to be coming out today, so I''ll go first. Oh! And I''ll be using the East Training Center, so keep that in mind. I think I''ll have to hang out with my disciple for a while. It seems that the dark hwang has done all the work. turned around You worked hard. Seniors. It was so much fun. And then Jinhyuk and Elise followed. The three people left. The inside of Heavenly Demon was engulfed in deep silence. No matter how vigilant the shell was, it was not to the point of being defeated so easily. I just didn''t expect that the opponent would have a deep knowledge of self-defense. However. Even when everyone thinks so... . Venomous Dragon was looking at the blade fragments that had fallen on the floor with a stiff face. ''The dagger used by the shell was made by smelting meteorite.'' By the way . is it broken? ''I thought that old man had picked up a puppy, but he brought a baby tiger.'' Throb! The masked woman who was with him was also a menacing master. The chilling pain in his wrist was the kind of sensation the Venomous Dragon had long forgotten. The instinct that kept me alive in this hellish place for so long has sent me a warning with all my might. This is dangerous. ''Dear Jwahobeop... I''ll have to tell you.'' No matter how new variables appear. Even if the Dark Emperor or some other person intervened. Never allow them to interfere with the cause they have prepared. Because I have invested 10 years of time for this work. Often, when you think of water lilies, you think of breathing up to your chin and your whole body covered in sweat. Aren''t there scenes like that when you look at the setting sun and exclaim, ''You''ve become this strong today as well''? Achievement and growth that comes after suffering and perseverance. Typical, but indispensable scenes like soup. However. The training Jinhyuk is currently doing was far from a warm and salty training like that. Huh. Heo-eok. No, wait. Isn''t this really too much? Master? Jinhyuk bit his molars. Heavenly Demon The 2nd Thunder Jade located in the basement of Protestantism. I haven''t been able to take a break for 7 hours and I''ve been fighting the goblins to the point of smelling sweet from my mouth. Maaa! Meow! The goblins that looked round and round came rushing in like a water wave. They looked pretty cute, but they were level 80 and above, and they belonged to the very difficult axis to deal with as a group. In particular, in the case of an intermediate or higher level goblin, I knew how to use swordsmanship. Uh-huh. What if there are only about 100 goblins? I still have a lot of things to do, such as pouring water into the lake with one teacup, standing in the water, and going back and forth 10 times over Hundreds of thousands of sects. Isn''t that just telling me to die? Chuckle! Are you sure you want to kill a disciple who has only one main seat? To achieve the Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong, you must first increase your basic stamina. This is a training that turns into blood and flesh. Dark Hwang burst out a good laugh. What kind of bastard''s basic stamina is not enough to fight for 7 hours... . It was exactly like this when I met Master at the Tower of Trials in the past. I overcame the limits by going through tasks of absurd difficulty. Even then, I was trembling and swore that if I did this again, I wouldn''t be a human child. I never imagined that I would break that oath again. Contractor! Do your best. There are five more. Elise took a seat next to him a little further away and smiled. Mosquito mosquito! The owner seems to be having a hard time. We''re not having a hard time. It''s moderately cool, so it''s perfect for rest. It''s packed with food, so it''s like a picnic. Give me some ice too. I''ll put it in lemonade and eat it. Even sweet potatoes and spirit beasts were gathered together. Watching them prepare sweets and milk and eat them little by little, their billionaires are on the verge of collapsing. Hmm. I guess I''ll have to spend the night in the thunderbolt. I have to deal with a backlog of work, so until the sun comes up, take care of all the demons on the first floor of the thunderstorm. That Master? Why are you doing this? Surely, you''re not fooling around, are you? Instead of that, in order to rise to the top of the tower, wouldn''t it be necessary for the companions to be strong as well? Jinhyuk glanced at the rotten bastards. Yes? Everyone''s complexion changed 180 degrees. As if they didn''t know that sparks would set off on them, lemonade was dripping from Undine''s mouth. Hmm. The dwarf scratched his chin. No. No. No. No. Please. Please, please. Please say no. Hurry up! Everyone''s wishes reached the dark hwang. sure . just touched it Actually, it would be important to grow up with my colleagues. I understand. Instead, as the number increases, we have to deal with all the goblins in the Thunder Jade. I wonder if it''s okay. Let''s go and work. Come on, wait...! Elise tried to catch the Dark Huang hurriedly, but it was already too late. Now there is no Master here. There is only his disciple who is left with nothing but evil. ruler . Jinhyuk loosened the stiff joints. "Are we going to start by spitting out the cookie we were chewing on first?" CH 278 . How to train a dead person (1) Mowaaaah! Maaaah! One-eyed goblins swung bats larger than their own body. Spirit Special Forces! Give your back and buttocks strength and hold on! At Jinhyuk''s command, the spirits at the forefront worked hard. Undine, who was the happiest while eating lemonade, is nowhere to be seen. In that place, only the figure of the spirits with small, slender arms and legs trembling remains. Lord, lord! I mean, they''re too aggressive. Rather, we''re not melee-only in the first place! Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Everyone, be quiet. My head hurts. judgment day. What if there were sinners who repented of God? Seeing them cry out for help, I feel like the congestion I''ve accumulated over the years has gone away. Of course, only 3% of 100% sank. I mean, it''s still a long way off. Wagjak. Filth. Odo-dok. Jinhyuk sat down on the stairs and bit the cookie. It has a savory yet salty taste, so I can understand why everyone ate it so deliciously. There''s even a drink with ice on it. big If this is happiness, then it is happiness. I, can''t I just stop? Besides, it''s a rapier. I''ve never used this before! Mosquito, mosquito. Elise and the sweet potato were also sweating profusely. Elise is in a state of restricting the use of only rapiers while sealing the mana in battle. Because of this, he was unable to demonstrate even 100% of his original ability. The sweet potato also restricted the attack to only headbutting while wearing a helmet with a single horn on its head. Ostensibly, ''armor penetration'' in the head-butting of an ancient species because it worked. In reality, it is because of the crime of not properly managing the subordinates, plus the crime of giggling together. Shut up! Do you think it makes sense that the lord of Ataraxia can''t handle the vampire''s main melee weapon, the rapier? Well, that''s because I''m the queen... Can I just give orders from behind? Huh! You only swing the rapier at the forefront until you get out of the torrent. I''ll try it myself later, so take responsibility and improve your swordsmanship. Master said we''ll see you tomorrow morning, but... . This ceremonial jade is never a place that can be completely cleared in one day. If it is short, it will take 3 days, if it is long, it will take more than a week. By the way, I just ate all the sweets and drinks you brought. entire? So, you''d better work hard. The lunch box I packed only had pineapple pizza. Oh, no. I also brought a bunch of mint chocolate for dessert. Hey. It''s going to be a very enjoyable raid. " Green onion inapple pizza? Mint chocolate?" It''s trending recently, and it seems to suit my taste quite well. It''s sweet and crunchy, and the texture is very good. I put a lot of ''coriander'' on it to take care of my health, so you can look forward to mealtime. ...Father. Alice froze on the spot with her mouth open blankly. It seems that something has just been seen escaping a soul-like gas from its mouth. Mo, mosquito! The sweet potato, feeling a sense of crisis, tried hard to appeal her innocence. He asked me to take into account the major in which he obtained treasures from Kunlun. Yeah, our exorcists did something good, didn''t they? Mosquito Mosquito! Mooogii! The sweet potato nodded her head up and down vigorously. However, the words of the deceased, Chapter 1:1, say that you should pay back half of your kindness or forget it sometimes and instead pay back your enemies 100 times. Until you can control ten low-level goblins and one intermediate-level goblin by headbutting your body. If you do a trick, you can pour mint chocolate on top of the magic stone and feed it, so think carefully. mosquito? The sweet potato was also frozen while standing. How many hours have passed? When everyone got used to their roles, the real raid began. Heavenly Demon The demons in the ceremonial cemetery were originally practice opponents for training members of the church. He specializes in defense rather than attack, and he uses various Shamanisms to help him improve his skills in various ways. kwaaang! kwaang! Although they were defeated by numbers, the spirit beasts with a solid formation took charge of the vanguard. Money hey hey! Die! Die! Die! In addition to that, the sweet potato that threw her whole body and Elise who wielded the rapier like crazy were added, and she had quite a powerful breakthrough. Now, a group of 20 goblins has risen to a level that can be cleaned up within 10 minutes. ''You can attack faster than you think.'' Jinhyuk had a satisfied smile. Is this what it feels like to be able to read each other''s breaths and thoughts? Team play was absolutely perfect. After all, that''s why it''s important to trust each other and be together. Just like the heroes from old comic books or anime. When I''m in a crisis someday, my colleagues will rescue me by flying instead of me, and I''m going to have such a heartbreaking experience. I would like to say thank you for saving me in front of the tombs of Alice, Sweet Potato, and Cheon Yu-seong. Considering the grace that was usually bestowed upon us, it was a possible imagination. ''I''m a master book too. I was almost in tears.'' When I thought about the future I never knew, the tip of my nose tingled for nothing. But that was then. Master! Don''t be bruised! A big guy is coming from there! kukukuku! On the side where Jinhyuk is. The stone wall began to crumble. 1m 2m 4m. It is a huge pit that is almost 5m tall. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! What appeared there were two demons that were three times larger than ordinary demons. Are you an intermediate goblin? One of them belongs to the combat class. The other guy has a talisman, so he''s the kind that can use Shamanism. Seeing the stairs leading to the collapsed second floor, these guys seem to be the last gatekeepers on the first floor. ''Hmm.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. great. It''s just the right timing. Anyway, since I came to Heavenly Demon Shintokyo this time, I was thinking of improving the skills I have and acquiring skills through fusion. Practice weights for that are coming out one after another. I''ll take over this guy. You guys keep doing what you''re doing. Jinhyeok didn''t even hear an answer and walked up to the intermediate goblin. Suddenly, the great sword ''Armor Breaker'' was in his hand. The arm had been changed to ''Tombgrave''s right arm'', the great hero of the giant gods. Wow? The intermediate goblin tilted his head. The enemy, who was much smaller than himself, suddenly looked huge, so he was embarrassed. [[''Gap''] The stat is activated.] [The target is atrophied due to the level difference.] I usually only fight strong guys, so I didn''t really feel it. Gap stats do not only narrow the gap between the strong and the strong. Due to the effect of contempt for the weak, it also has an effect that gives a sense of intimidation to low-level targets. Mmm, Mwaah? At the vicious pressure emanating from Jinhyuk''s body, the intermediate goblin unknowingly took a step backwards. But it was only for a short time. [Intermediate Goblin activates his unique ability ''Guardian of Thunder Jade''!] [Attack power and defense increase by 10%!] [Immunity against status ailments is increased by 30%!] Wow! The obsession to kill the intruder suppressed the fear. Immediately, a huge horn bat rushed towards Jinhyuk''s head. Aww! The ground cracked and cracked with a roar. This is due to the inability to withstand the weight caused by the strong impact. However. ugh play! Tinnitus, the cry of iron and iron. Jinhyuk received the blow with a very calming attitude. Like a goblin, one strength isn''t bad. Of course, compared to the king of giants and medium- and large-scale monsters such as Antrad, this is a cute level. "But, pressing with force is not like that." Jinhyuk smiled and tilted his sword about 3 degrees. As the balance was disturbed, the goblin bat slid towards Jinhyuk''s head again. And when those words are finished, [The unique ability ''Wind Realm'' is activated!] Jinhyuk''s body disappeared. A gust of wind rose. The place that appeared was behind the goblin. The layered winds amplified the pressure and swayed even more violently. There. [The unique ability ''High-Speed Sword'' is activated!] A sword of speed that makes you forget the weight of the greatsword was added. The blade has disappeared. After that, the handle and the arm that was holding it were gradually blurred. Although it was invisible to the naked eye, the innumerable swords were vibrating at high speed. Ahhhhhhhh! overwhelming despair. Intermediate Goblin could not lift a finger in the approaching storm. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Ido-cheondan (һǧ). Countless sword strikes turned into countless fragments. ''I don''t think close linkage would be bad this way.'' I used three powerful unique abilities, but it didn''t put too much strain on my body. It was thanks to the mana stat of 273. next . Jinhyuk''s gaze turned to another intermediate goblin who was memorizing Shamanism. Momow. Was it because of the shock of losing a colleague in vain? Intermediate Goblin showed his full power without looking at the liver from the beginning. I wondered if the three amulets in my hand would burn out at the same time, and then they changed into characters representing flames (). Whoops! A large, hot flame that seemed to swallow up the whole body arose. It''s called Flame Shamanism... It is Shamanism that exerts the greatest power in an enclosed space. However, the flame is eaten by a bigger flame. [Lv1 ''Hellfire'' is activated!] The color of the flames around Jinhyuk''s body changed to a darker color. At the same time, the temperature of the Thunder Jade changed rapidly. The skill level is only 1. Even so, the fearful shoes that were hot enough to tingle the skin were different. [The unique ability ''Black Tears'' is activated!] The skill copied from Maria was combined with the skill obtained from the Wailing Witch. The color of the flame changed once more. A dark purple dreadful fire. The figure was faintly reminiscent of a Dragon. An ancient species whose true name has not yet been revealed. Mt.... As if possessed by the goblin, he looked at the flame. He doesn''t even have the courage to fight back. In the end, the only option left is to run away. The goblin''s body floated in the air, and it was shot like a bullet towards the second basement floor. I''m sorry, but you can''t run away. A purple-colored fireball immediately followed the goblin''s back. Pants... ! In an instant, fear swept over the goblin''s upper body. Wow... Lord, master? Is this the master I knew? Strong. We also struggled against the little goblins. Mooogi. Jung Ryeong-soo and the sweet potato opened their eyes and exclaimed in exclamation. Well, well... it''s pretty good. But I can do that. Look. Elise swung the rapier clumsily. Then he stabbed the buttocks of a lesser goblin. Meow! Hey! The goblin immediately stuck to Elise''s head. But, even while everyone was slowly finishing the raid. Jinhyuk''s eyes stayed on the body of a dead mid-level goblin. A small flame burning inside a blue crystal. It is a byproduct called ''goblin fire''. ''Each one is nothing special, but if you gather a lot of them and go through the refining process, they''re supposed to have a unique effect that can attract people... .'' Yes. That was the information I knew so far. the problem is . The point is that this is not a by-product from the 20th floor goblins. The upper part of the tower, at least in the 30th floor, are things you can see... . ''It cannot be a natural phenomenon.'' what if. Unless someone intentionally planted it. CH 279 . How to train a dead person (2) Cheonhongru (\t). Cranes flying over beautiful waterfalls and lakes. This is Juru, which is rated as the best in Cheonghae. As the name suggests, the price of alcohol a day here was so expensive that the common people had to work for six months, and it was said that everyone wished to enjoy the atmosphere here . If there was Mureungdowon, I would be talking about this place. and currently. The sounds of men and women laughing and chatting resounded from the top-floor pavilion, the most famous hall in Cheonhongru. Hahaha. Yes. Arang. Also, your skill at burning gold in Cheonhongru is absolutely superb. The man with black hair shining like pitch black burst out in exclamation. He was quite drunk and his face was flushed red. Sangsang. It''s useless to praise you like that. Oh my. If you love Arang too much, the girl will be jealous. Hey, you shouldn''t be upset with the gold coins. The two courtesans performed all kinds of mischief. Even the word beautiful makes me feel sorry for the two of them. To that extent, the appearance of Arang and Geumhwa was outstanding. But that was then. If you eat some of this too... Have you... huh? Something in your throat... Uh-huh. Keek! ???? turn it off . Arang and Geumhwa suddenly grabbed their necks as if in pain. Clink! The glass broke and the instrument''s thread broke. The table quickly turned red. Uh... ...Sa, Sang-sang... Sa, please save me... In an instant, a line of blood ran down her throat, and then a thin line of blood flowed out of her mouth. was desperate There was no time to check the condition of the house. However, the man was not particularly embarrassed by the deaths of the two prostitutes. just I''m sorry, I just lost my appetite. Ha, this is true. I just got excited. Besides, isn''t it too much to poison these pretty girls? The man scratched his head. At the same time. There''s a riot right now, are you drinking alcohol? "When I asked where you went, you must have come to Cheonghae." It''s good for once. A number of characters appeared in the dark. Anyway, they''re like friends who work hard. So what''s going on, why are you making such a fuss? Something has been bothering me. The venomous dragon in the front opened its mouth. A headache? Yes. I think I should go back to the main school right now. Left-handed method. left-handed law. At that one word, the air suddenly changed. The sly smile was gone. Instead, a cold, frozen cold began to fill the place. 2nd place in Heavenly Demon Protestantism. A powerful man who sits to the left of the Heavenly Demon and enjoys the status of one person or one person. This man was the ''Samaja'' of the left sign. At best, Lee Rip looked like a young man, but that was because he had gone through a state of metamorphosis. Tell me. Friendship Law... No, the dark hwang brought these strange people as a disciple. What else can I say. That inspiration is also old enough to receive a disciple. Are you making such a fuss over that it''s such a big deal? I''m not an ordinary disciple. Not only has he mastered the Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong up to 4 stars. According to a spy on the side of the Moorimmeng and Jeongpa, he seems to have had a riot in Kunlun''s Mist Office. He looks like a decent guy. The woman next to the poison old dragon also helped out a word. Rank 10. The first spear of Heavenly Demon Protestantism with the nickname of Fire Dragon. It was ''Chae Hong-ah''. Hey. It''s 4 stars... That''s pretty good. I didn''t even learn the Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong. Hmm. The samasa smiled happily. It''s no laughing matter. Those guys are now in the underground ceremonial prison under the permission of the Dark Huang. If they ever find it... You mean goblin fire? Yes. The ''goblin fire'', which was forcibly injected into the goblins, was a hard-earned piece of equipment obtained through trading with the upper classes. Isn''t one of the things that play an important role in our plan is the fire of goblin? The Thunder Jade was considered the safest place since entry is not allowed without the permission of the Heavenly Demon or the two Hobeop... . I understand what you''re worried about. But, don''t worry too much. Even if that disciple says he''s seen a goblin fire, he''ll pass on it without any doubt. Well, what you think is a little special by-product only probably. Even the heads of the Empire or Moorim did not know about the goblin fire in the upper part of the tower. However, the player who started climbing from the first floor of the tower does not know that. "That''s right, the left-handed law says " The poisonous dragon reluctantly blurted out the end of his speech. Although he agrees to some extent, he still looks uneasy. In the end, Simaja brought out a ''confidence'' that would completely wash away that anxiety. "Besides, didn''t you lock ''them guys'' in the last basement floor of the Thunder Jade?" Oh ! "Are you saying you want to release them?" Left law. They are criminals who are difficult to deal with at our school. An astonishing exclamation erupted from everyone''s mouth. However, Samaza shrugged with a calm face. I''m just suggesting a sure way because it seems uneasy. Besides, the criminals who have been caught once can be locked up again if they want, right? Hmm. All of us are staying at the main school, and we even have a left-handed method, so it''s probably possible. Suppressing poison with poison... It''s not exactly the wrong way. At Samaza''s firm words, the atmosphere shifted again. Only one. Except for the poison dragon. Then, what would you do if the disciple of the dark emperor took out all the sinners? Hmm. I think you''re overestimating him. Do you think only one person can deal with all those monstrous sinners? Seriously? That''s why I attached a clue of what if. one at a time. There is no such thing, but if only the disciple of the dark emperor was that good. At that time... The sama smiled brightly. I''ll go ahead and kill it myself. Even the dark emperor and his disciple. The 1st floor of the brainstorm. Jinhyuk leisurely collected ''Goblin Fire''. ''Is it that there are people who are thinking differently in Heavenly Demon Protestantism?'' A place where access is restricted, called the Thunder Jade. The existence of goblin fire that can only be obtained from the upper floors. Considering the hostility shown by the Venomous Dragon to Master and the power relationship within the Heavenly Demon Shinto religion, I can only guess what happened. The question is, how big is the scale of this work... It''s about at what point in time you''re working. right then T-tiring! A large status window appeared in front of Jinhyuk. [You have completed certain conditions!] Did you complete certain conditions? what is that... ? Another status window appeared one after another without any doubts being resolved. [Hidden Quest has arrived!] [Blood-smelling cancer fight] Type: Link Quest Difficulty: S What: Heavenly Demon You have noticed a huge conspiracy going on within the Protestant Church. This is an event that could not be concluded before, and will become the fuse of the middle-class power war! Make your way to the last floor of the Thunder Jade and collect additional clues. Reward: You can select and purchase one material item for free on the coin exchange. In the Tower of Trials, if certain conditions are met, the main Quest is given. However. Link Quest? ''Unbelievable .'' An earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk''s pupil. Unlike ordinary Quests, Linked Quests only occur when involved in a very important event that is related to the scenario of the entire tower. Not limited to the middle class. ''It means that it is related to the upper floors.'' Just looking at the reward for giving the desired material item on the coin exchange, I could not even imagine how difficult the difficulty of this Quest would be. Literally purple... It meant that I could even choose the materials that could be used to make a grade relic. ''It''s fun. At the same time, there was one material I needed, so I can get it this time.'' Even if it wasn''t for the Quest, I was planning to clean up the entire basement of the Thunder Jade. It''s probably going to be a lot bigger than expected. Everyone, wake up. Jinhyuk woke up Elise and the spirit beasts, who were noddingly asleep. Huh? Already? I don''t think I slept for even 30 minutes yet. Master. Let''s rest a little longer. Just five minutes, not just one more minute. It''s not about waking up kids who are going to school on the first day of school. Don''t worry. I''m not asking you to run hard again. I thought I''d have to fall for a while, so I woke up to let you know. Where to go? Alone? Alice opened her rabbit eyes. Yeah. I''m going by myself, so you can come down slowly. If you play hard without me, I won''t take you out of the thunderstorm forever, so take care of yourself. ...it looks like you''re trying to do something dangerous again, are you really going to be okay by yourself? It''s not dangerous. I''ll be back as soon as possible. Jinhyuk lightly poked Alice in the head with his finger. How long have you been doing raids alone? Jinhyuk followed the dark passage to the second floor of the brainstorm. He told everyone that words didn''t matter, but he had a good reason to act alone. ''The fact that you bet that level of compensation in the Hidden Quest means that there are guys out of the norm among the guys in the Thunder Jade.'' It can''t be easy. It would be suspicious if it was rather easy. Meow! Bye ah! The goblins who found Jinhyeok attacked him in a swarm. You don''t have to deal with these guys. Even if you leave the little things behind in the first place, Elise and the rest who follow will take care of it. fault! The new one disappeared in an instant. Jinhyeok, who expressed ''The King of Swordsmanship'', spurred the pace. What? Like a mighty storm rushing. The goblins stared blankly at the place where Jinhyuk had been until a while ago. kwaang! stepping on the ground Parts... ! take a leap 3rd floor through 2nd floor. And from the third floor, it fell down along the vertical passage. As soon as I landed on the floor, my view completely changed. Chunkyung! The weight-sensing device worked. ''It''s a trap section.'' A launch pad made of bamboo appeared among the layers of cobwebs and dust piled up. It''s not accurate because of the darkness, but the signs I felt were well over 30. Furthermore. Feed. Fresh food. How much food is this? I''m going to eat it all down to the bone. After the goblin, a hungry ghost appeared. These guys, too, are shells with only the instinct to eat their prey. Ugh. Would you rather have brought Elise? It would have been perfect for bait because it can fly. Jinhyuk licked his lips as if it were a pity. right at that moment. Puff Puff Puff! Silver needles about 1m long were shot from all directions. Hungry ghosts also drooled from their mouths and attacked them all at once. When I see monsters without brains, I always don''t understand. front and back left and right. The flying silver needles melted into the darkness. Jinhyuk took out his longbow ''molar'' and hung an arrow made of mana on the protest. The sound of the wind and the slight shaking of the air. And the experiences that have been repeated countless times have come together. now! Dozens of ''red magic bullets'' were fired from the arrow. Kaka Kaka Kaka! spirit (ӭ). As dozens of silver needles collided with the arrows, their trajectory changed. Exactly... . puff puff puff! Whoops! Kaeae-eak! Aww! To the body of hungry ghosts. Why do you salivate over food you can''t even eat? Dozens of silver needles turned the bodies of hungry ghosts into beehives. It is an acrobatics that do not allow a single mistake. ''Now there is one floor left.'' I could see the downhill road leading to the fifth floor, the deepest part of the Thunder Jade. [You have entered the 5th floor of the Thunder Jade, ''Infinite Hell''.] KwaKwaKwakwok! Only after reaching the 5th floor did Jinhyeok stop walking. The ground was hollow, and a light smoke rose from the spot where I had run. only 2 hours. No matter how much he didn''t care about the lesser goblin, he was incredibly fast. ''Since I''ve been using Sword Demon Wangbo, it has changed so much that it can''t be compared to the first time.'' A deceptive skill that crosses the boundary between footwork and newbeop. This means that it is not only dodging the enemy''s attack, but also shows great efficiency when running for a long time like now. After all, this was also level 12 now. It is natural that performance will change. In addition, breathing was kept calm due to ''shallow breathing''. That was then. ...Kick! The sound of laughter blowing in the wind was heard. Over the dark abyss, the rustling of chains echoed. CH 280 . How to train a dead person (3) ''Crackle... .'' chain sound. ''Whoa... .'' faint breath. Finally, until the mana that touches the skin. This is the deepest part of the ''Thunder Prison'' where the prisoners of the Heavenly Demon Protestantism are trapped. Jinhyuk took a step forward. I could see iron bars hanging from side to side and humans murmuring inside. ''You don''t seem to be eating properly. It would be impossible to sleep with both legs outstretched.'' The punishment of staying here until the day of my death without any promise to leave was more horrific than I expected. right then kwaaang! In the prison right in front of Jinhyuk, an old man with a thick beard screamed. My, get me out! Get me out of this hellish place! That became the fuse. Kick Kick Kick! Khahaha, what. How many guests is this? Looks like someone has come. Now the feeling is completely dead. No matter who you are, if you let me out of here, I''ll give you the whole Moorim! I promise you wealth and honor! bang! bang! bang! kwaaang! The sound of kicking the iron bars mixed with mad madness. These people, too, must have earned the awe and respect of all at one time in a position of power... . That''s why it seems like a corporation that should live without sinning. You don''t have to worry about these guys. After all, the purpose of coming to Thunder Prison was to deal with the advanced goblin at this end. Hidden Quest must also be meant to find specific clues there. Hey. Don''t ignore it, stop it! Do you know who I am? Can''t you open this right now before you tear it apart? hello. Would you like to stop? Hey, seniors. If I put a ponytail on my neck for nothing, only the vocal cords go out. It seems that you can''t even take blood porridge.... Don''t cross the Jordan River because of high blood pressure because you''re too much. Looking at this, it is a special prison made by mixing many years of life, and there is even an amulet that seems to have been sealed by the spirit of Simma himself. Maybe dead and waking up... . By the way. Rumble! Huh ? The prison doors were opened at the same time. Em, just as you said... the seals of all areas except the Beast Area have been lifted... Danju of the Neureungdan, which manages the brain stone, opened his mouth. The huge jade bead in front of him showed the inside of the current lightning jade as it is. "Are you really are you okay?" Dan-ju''s gaze turned to the poison old dragon. No matter how much the Left Law ordered, I''d still do something crazy like this. Conceptually, it didn''t make sense. Master of the Thunder Spirit. Yes, yes! You just have to do what you''re told. Haven''t you already forgotten? When the Heavenly Demon is absent. Who is acting on his behalf? Yeah, that''s of course... Fear flashed through the eyes of the Thunder Commander''s eyes. The Heavenly Demon, who disappeared after the closure, and the Dark Hwang, who behaves indiscriminately. In fact, the ruler who led the Heavenly Demon Protestantism was determined. Besides, isn''t there also Hong-ah Chae, another top ten master of Heavenly Demon Protestantism, Fire Dragon Jachang? No matter how much the spirits were, the liver did not come out of the boat enough to revolt against the two teenage masters. I guess I''ll have to go down there myself. Chae Hong-ah rested the red spear on her shoulder. Direct? Prisoners would suffice? It''s better to use your body than to watch. I have a tile from the Jwahobeop, so just open the door and I''ll take care of the rest. Hmm. If you want, do that. The poison dragon nodded slowly. If Chae Hong-ah took the initiative, there was no variable at all. Thunder commander. Open the door. Even if you have doubts to save your life. Don''t even ask questions. ...John''s name. Only dogs that listen well will survive. The Thunderbolt Master knew better than anyone. Now, what are you going to do? The venomous dragon looked at the prisoners and Jin-hyeok coming out of the prison. Although debilitated by being imprisoned for many years, they are all masters with a formidable Mugong. No matter how much he flies and crawls, he can''t help it. All that is left is death. Aww! At the same time, Jinhyuk''s body was attacked and bounced off for a long time. Fuhahaha! It''s free, it''s free! I don''t know how long it will take to warm up. Kick Kick! gleaming eyes. Prisoners addicted to madness ran wild. It''s really different. Let''s just go out now, do you mean like this? Jinhyuk quickly got up and took a stance. The amulets that had tightly sealed the iron bars a while ago were torn apart. As if someone had intentionally opened the seal. Needless to say, I could guess who did this. The left-handed sama and his followers. Using what happened in the Heavenly Demon battle as an excuse, he planned to bury all those in the Thunder Prison. I have no intention of being rude. [The unique ability ''Sword Graveyard'' is activated!] huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The fangs and the twin dragon swords were imbued with black energy. Riding the blade, the fearsome swordsman perfectly equipped him. Hey. Is he the one who can even write a sword? He''s a guy who deserves to go to hell. It''s going to be really fun. Even looking at the sword, the prisoners did not show any hesitation. Rather, they have settled in a position they are accustomed to, and have narrowed their siege. ''I have no choice but to cut them all down.'' If you hesitate or clumsily put your hand on it, this will be the case. Jinhyuk, who made the decision, moved first. A horizontal sword strike aimed at the prisoner''s neck at once. kwaaang! Canine clogged. Not a knife, but a fist. If you thought that you were the only one who could handle Kang Ki, you would be greatly mistaken. Kwon Kang. A silent river that completely covered his fist burned fiercely. sure. I think that''s a big misunderstanding, but just because they''re Kang-gi doesn''t mean they''re all the same. The balance of power began to collapse rapidly. The strength of the prisoner who had been imprisoned for a long time was not enough to withstand the strength of the sword demon. ...awesome! The confident prisoner''s face contorted. Come on, wait! I shouted urgently, but it was already too late. Scratch! The fangs ran through his neck. The neatly cut hair disappeared into the darkness. At the same time. Attack it! The rest of the prisoners moved. front and back left and right. Knowing that it was not possible to fight head-on, I took the method of stabbing through the passing team. The skill of hitting and falling like a squirrel who has gone through everything before and after birth is superb. ...it hurts my head. Jinhyuk bit his molars and hit the angle flying from behind. neck this time. Next is the waist. It''s crazy because I don''t have a weapon. My eyes are dizzy from the continuous series of storms. Without even taking a breath, Jinhyuk threw his body aside. kwaaang! The place I had just before was shattered into fragments. '' This!?'' Jinhyuk, who was in the air, quickly swung his fangs. The stone fragments that approached silently were torn apart. Silent Cancer Technology. Come to think of it, there were prisoners who specialized in the assassination series. Even melee battles alone are daunting, but there are also long-distance battles. In addition, as time went on, the body began to relax properly, and the accuracy and sharpness of the attack became so sharp that it could not be compared with the first. However, Jinhyuk was not the only one who was surprised. You said you accepted all of this...? I can''t believe it. I''ve done this all the way, but I can''t hurt you. Did even the 11th master appear in Heavenly Demon Protestantism? A whopping 30 masters matched the sum. Even so, far from killing me, I wouldn''t be able to achieve even one trivial achievement. No, it just doesn''t say anything. Until now, it seemed as if they were simply exchanging sums with each other, but in fact, the wounded on the prisoners side were increasing one after another. There are already more than seven people who have become unable to fight with swords on their arms and legs. If it goes on like this, the damage will grow out of control. Most of all, I didn''t want to waste the freedom I had barely gained in this way. Hey. Yes. He still wanted to see blood, but he didn''t have to be that human. Because if you went out of the brainstorm and went to Moorim, you could find easy prey. The worries didn''t last long. Everyone looked at them and slowly stepped back. This might make things pretty easy, right? That was when I thought. "Huhu you''re more of a monster than I thought. If I had just watched from above, things would have been completely twisted." A new person appeared along the passage. A woman with long straight hair hanging down to her waist. I remember seeing it in Heavenly Demon the other day. ''It''s getting more and more Taesan.'' There must have been a hidden passage. If I had followed the normal route, I would have met Elise first. My name is Chae Hong-ah. Isn''t the atmosphere too bloody to properly introduce yourself? I thought you guys were going to play something, but I didn''t know you''d do it so openly. Fufu. Don''t be too cold. It''s your fault for coming to the school at this important time. ???????????????? Chae Hong-ah dropped the bag she was holding on the floor. Then, various weapons inside were poured into Ururu. We... wrote... My sword... it''s all. It''s my sword! Black Swan. To see you again. An earthquake occurred in the pupils of the prisoners. The fact that he had found Aebyunggi, which he had been accustomed to for many years, stirred his feelings as a warrior. I have a suggestion for you. If you kill that human, I will give you the freedom you have longed for. It means you will be given complete freedom from being pursued for the rest of your life. Gee, really? Is that real? freedom . Keukkeuk... You can just kill this. If you just kill it. Suddenly the mood changed. Life seeped into the eyes of the hounds that curled their tails. It seems like this is what sprinkles ashes on cooked rice. The prisoners looked at Jinhyuk while holding their weapons. Well. Even if it was bare-handed, this is unreasonable. Even more so now with Chae Hong-ah. Jinhyuk slowly took a step backwards. Are you planning to run away? Escape! I''d appreciate it if you told me to retreat in operation. You have to hold out until Alice or Sweet Potato arrives. However. If you''re waiting for support, it''ll be a waste of effort. We''ve released a bunch of tricky goblin''s where there are people in our party. It''s going to be difficult to come here for at least a few hours. Hey. You mean you''re a total outsider. It means that we want each other to die gracefully without straining each other. We will make sure that the Friendship Act is well packaged as an accident, so don''t be too sad. The tone that it doesn''t matter whether you get caught by Master or not. Just in case, these children. He is planning to overthrow the Heavenly Demon Protestantism entirely. What are you doing? Don''t you get started, everyone misses freedom? Chae Hong-ah nodded her head. Shoot it! It will be different this time. I''ll split it up at once! kwaaang! Kakakan! The sword and the sword collided. A fierce attack that was incomparable to the previous one raged like a storm. Jinhyuk was immersed in defense, raising the sensations of his whole body to the highest level. ''It''s a stab wound, even if it can be healed with Blessing of the stars, you have to protect your legs. If you ever get surrounded, it''s really over. Jinhyuk leaped towards the wall that could minimize blind spots. By the way. Tuk! Jinhyuk''s back, who had quickly retreated, touched the wall. To be exact, to the iron bars I thought were walls what? Jinhyuk tilted his head. Were all the prison doors open? I was trying to escape to the innermost place, so I didn''t realize it, but when I looked closely, there were a few iron bars that were still closed. right then Kurre... A roar was heard inside the prison, the growling of the beast. These guys... ? hoo. This is a pretty fun idea. CH 281 . Yacha (1) Heavenly Demon Protestantism''s underground torrents are not only confined to prisoners who committed great crimes. The various troublesome beasts that exist in Moorim were also waiting for the day they would see the sunlight again in the thunderstorm. A pair of yellow pupils flashed inside the cage. Kurre... A medium-sized beast of at least 5m tall. ''Is it better to call him a ''youkai'' since it''s Moorim?'' Not only the size but also the mana he possessed seemed unusual. for a moment. Jinhyuk reached out towards Chae Hong-ah and the prisoners who were approaching him. If I come any more, I think I''ll open this door without me knowing. How about it. Wouldn''t it be pretty fun to open this? It must have been that he was still trapped because it looked like a strange beast at a glance. Of course, if such a beast came out, the guys would be in trouble. However. Fufu. Let''s try it somewhere. He even removed the spear that Chae Hong-ah was aiming for. He looks so confident. As if to say that the defense against him is finished. just as expected. Unlike the cages of prisoners, there was a green amulet with intricate patterns in front of the cages where the beasts were confined. " you put a spell on it." It is also a very high-level Shamanism. It''s a kind that can''t even be cut with a sword. Anyway, could we have left such a risk factor unattended? Shamanism, which usually consists of one attribute, was commonly used in Moorim. Shamanism, a mixture of the two attributes, was a realm that could only be achieved by becoming an elder of each clan. However, the Shamanism used here is . Wood (wood), water (water), earth (). It is a great magic with three attributes. 4th place in Heavenly Demon Protestantism. It must be Shamanism sealed directly by the Spirit Demon. Because it''s 3 attributes... it''s definitely a pretty strong type. Jinhyuk put his finger on the amulet. In Heavenly Demon Protestantism. No, even in the whole of Moorim, when it comes to Kangxi and Shamanism, there will be no one who can surpass Shimma Spirit. Yes. That''s right, but... . The problem is that there is no such thing as perfect Shamanism. [The 1-star barrier ''Ring of Attributes'' is activated!] [Lv15 ''Primal Flame'' is activated!] The fire attribute intervened in the mana circuit connecting the three attributes. Exactly 3.3% of the energy of each attribute must be gnawed and settled in between. OK. [The sealing power of Shamanism is weakened!] kukukuku! Small cracks began to form in the iron bars. Uh, how can I understand the Shamanism of the Shimma Spirit... Chae Hong-ah''s facial expression changed 180 degrees. I had no choice but to do so. A foreigner who first joined the Heavenly Demon Protestant Church. Heavenly Demon The first person in the Protestant Church destroys Shamanism that has been hard for decades. Even if the Heavenly Demon came directly, it would be impossible. This Shamanism is effective at preventing it from coming out from the inside, but on the other hand, it''s surprisingly easy to break it from the outside. It''s going to be a bit daunting because you have to endure three attributes, but you can''t stand it because you put fire attributes in it. Jinhyuk poked the iron fence with his finger. kwaduduk! Whoops! The iron bars crumbled with a loud noise. Kurre! The beast inside pushed his head close to the iron cage. It was because he instinctively felt that the lifespan of the iron rod was short. Oh, no! If I opened it... Chae Hong-ah''s voice became urgent. What if I open it? It''s going to be a headache? Or is everyone here going to die? Use such threats while looking at the situation. Anyway, I''m already in a difficult situation. There are so many people who want to kill them outright, so what''s the difference if you sprinkle a little red pepper on them? Adding a little capsaicin to Buldak Fried Noodles with 10 sauces does not change the result of death. If it''s going to go down anyway, let''s go down together. Once you make the whole world hell. And the one who survives there becomes the real winner... . This is a new rule of the game. Chunkyung! The door that sealed the beast was opened. Aww! A black shadow jumped out of the iron cage. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Aww! Aww! A huge demon in the form of a fox swept through the prisoners. The speed was also beyond imagination, not befitting the size. All the prisoners also had the ability to do one strand, but the fox attacked only those who were thoroughly wounded. right then Boo Woong! A red spear aimed at the fox''s head. Kurre... Feeling threatened, the fox took the first defensive stance. This guy just needs to pull around from the front. I''ll take over the role, so attack from the flanks for the rest! Chae Hong-ah bit her molars. it''s still ok though. The Venomous Dragon is also watching this situation, so we will send the Thunder Spirits and other masters through the secret passage. With a little more patience, you will be able to subdue this fox youkai. ''Once this has happened, it is inevitable that the Dark Emperor will know, but it doesn''t matter. Because there''s not much left until the big business starts anyway.'' But that was then. Chunkyung! Hey. The zoo here is really bad. There are no very few beasts. Is this a kind of turtle? Another door opened. Hey you idiot! Why are you opening it again? It was Chae Hong-ah who never lost her composure under any circumstances, but this time she had no choice but to spit out abusive language. Even now, I''m barely maintaining my balance, but I can''t help but get angry at you for making bigger shit. Ah. Can''t I open this? I''m sorry, I''m sorry. Then... I''ll take another guy out. It seems that guy over there really wants to go out... Jinhyuk approached another iron cage. Kong! Kung! Kung! The two-headed dog dripped with its sharp teeth exposed. Hell''s watchdog, similar to Cerberus. Not that dog. Stop it! There are no bad dogs in the world. What kind of bullshit is that! With Chae Hong-ah''s sad scream. Another door opened. Oh my gosh... Hey, what the hell is this... When the venomous dragon, the thunderbolt master, and the top-level masters arrived at the Infinite Hell... . It was after the situation had turned to the worst. Many of the prisoners died or escaped. Chae Hong-ah, who was left alone, was fighting three demons with all her might. Emergency reports poured in from those who were looking inside. "It looks like three demons have escaped through the second passage!" The same goes for the third aisle. We are preventing people from going outside as much as possible, but if this continues, the entire school will be aware of this incident. The secret passageway made for the easy cultivation of ''goblin fire'' has been transformed into an escape route for the demonic beasts to jump out onto the ground. at last. All plans to handle it as quietly as possible were in vain. First, I will deal with the beasts. The Thunder Spirits, follow me! Yes. Danju! The Moorim people belonging to the Nooryeongdan immediately moved to help Chae Hong-ah. Only then did I have time to catch my breath. Hong-ah Chae! The bastard. Where the hell is that bastard! Venomous dragon put a bloodline around his neck. I just wanted to run right away and melt that blue-eyed bastard alive. In... he went inside a thunderbolt. Isn''t it? Are you saying that you went to a senior goblin? The higher-level goblin is already dead. It''s even deeper than that... it''s gone further inside! deepest part. At those words, the poison old dragon''s heart sank. In the deepest part of the Thunder Jade, the most important of the Demon Beasts is sealed. Gathering goblin fire. That the demons were sealed here. All of them were to achieve a great cause using that one guy. ''membrane ah must.'' If you have the skills to solve the Shamanism of Simma Spirit... . Even the last seal cannot be relieved. It''s not as good as that. If the guy was released before he could get his hands on the still-refined goblin fire, he might have faced the worst of an irreversible situation. While the beasts were rampaging, Jinhyuk was able to deal with the advanced goblin and enter the deepest part of the Thunder Jade. And the moment I got there. All the clues fit together like cog wheels. One of the biggest events that Heavenly Demon Protestantism suffered during the closure of 10 years, ''Night of Night''. And the named monster Yacha who was at the center of the incident. The person in front of you right now is that party. ''Is it because you were trying to brainwash the yacha using goblin fire and use it as a card against Heavenly Demon and Master?'' creepy I had goosebumps all over my body. ''If it''s such a monster, it''s possible.'' Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva. Indeed, that''s why the system called it a Linked Quest. I have experienced several types of linked quests in the past, but this was the first time I received it from Moorim. At that time, there was no variable called ''goblin fire''. If it''s the biggest change... . ''Is it Alice?'' By taking Elise out of the corridor, an early contact was made with the vampire families. They were probably the ones who passed the goblin fire in the upper classes to the Left Beop. As the clues gathered, a huge picture began to be drawn. Whether you use it well or not will completely change the outcome of this work. ''great.'' Jinhyeok took a deep breath and walked into the darkness. Whoops! [Lv15 ''Primal Flame'' is activated!] When the flames the size of a head appeared in the air, it finally became bright enough to see clearly. A huge column that stretches from floor to ceiling. And a humanoid beast tied to a pillar. Red hair, spiky, reminiscent of a goblin stood out. Jinhyuk used ''Eyes of Gluttony''. Name: Yacha Gender: Male Age: ?? level: ??? strength ??? Agility ??? health ??? mana 0 inner hole ??? Unique Abilities: Superpower Nanshin (y) skill: Lv?? ''Chimimry (u)'', Lv?? ''Indomitable soul'', Lv?? ''Taishan Sword'' The level of ''Eyes of Gluttony'' is low, so you cannot check all of the target''s skills. [Details: The mad beast does not compromise with anyone, nor does it hold hands with anyone. A person who despises and kills everything according to his own instinct. That''s ''Yacha'', one of the most powerful named bosses in the middle class.] [Copy Condition: The survival of the Heavenly Demon is a prerequisite for suppressing the beings on the 50th floor. However, the Yacha is one of the few weapons that can kill such a Heavenly Demon. If Yacha can kill the Heavenly Demon before harming it, he will be able to copy one of his unique abilities and skills.] Copy conditions are out. And after that. T-tiring! [Failure penalty has been activated due to the influence of Hidden Quest.] [If the Heavenly Demon dies for any reason, one of them will be able to manifest in the lower levels of the tower (appearance time limit: 30 minutes)] also . Hidden Quest was also related to those guys on the 50th floor. It means that the very existence of Yacha is the first Quest itself. ''Quest''s reward is also a reward, but the ability of the guy must also be obtained.'' monstrous body. Proximity-specific ability to keep the name of ''Yacha'' intact. When I imagined how powerful the synergy would be if I was with the Black Heavenly Demon Hwanggong, my heart pounded rapidly. If you want to get that... . ''Even if you tell me to pick the moon and give it away, I have to succeed.'' None of these tasks should fail. That first step... . [The seal of the Yacha has been released.] It finally started. CH 282 . Yacha (2) No! Stop it. Stop it! The poison old dragon, who arrived one step late, shouted. Contrary to how my grandfather looked, his voice is very loud. But it''s already too late. [The seal has been released!] [Yacha wakes up!] with a short status window. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwak! The chains that sealed the yacha''s arms were torn. Uh-huh... The yacht tied to the pole slowly began to exhale the first breath. A huge sense of pressure that felt like a mountain. Indeed, it is a Hidden card prepared by the Left Beop Samja to catch the Heavenly Demon. ''this I think you''re on the same level as Master?'' Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva. It''s a shame because I couldn''t inject the refined ''Goblin Fire''. If they could control this monster at will, things would be very troublesome. Of course, whether or not Yacha was brainwashed by the goblin fire, it didn''t change that the power he had was out of the norm. Hey, this can''t be... The seal is loose... Lidani. Chae Hong-ah, who had suddenly joined with the poison old dragon, let out a sigh of despair. The great business that has been prepared so far is in danger of being destroyed... . Even the nightmares of the past have been reenacted, so of course you can''t help but be disappointed. What stupid thing have you done! You know how much trouble we''ve had to catch him... Damn it! Don''t you know that if the yacht runs rampant, it can turn 100,000 mountains into a wasteland again? Hundreds of thousands of mountains are turned into muddy fields. Surely it could be. So what? What... what? Whether it''s a bitch or a mountain explodes. That''s up to you guys. Do I even have to worry about that? And if you''re so worried, don''t use Excellent grade to kill me in the first place. Would you be able to say something like that if your conscience was vile? You''re asking the guy you''re trying to kill to protect even the back room of his house. "Ha, but the friendship law is also the school''s " Hey. But now he''s trying to sell someone else''s master. Do you know that? If you''re the kind of master I know, you''ll immediately kill someone who wants to kill your own life. What are you talking about? " " At the right words, the poison old dragon became a honey-eaten dumbass. Don''t get involved in every word of that guy. The priority is to stop him before he leaves. Chae Hong-ah stretched the window forward. "Yeah I know." The poisonous dragon took his gaze from Jinhyuk. And he grabbed the blue flame he had hidden in his arms. Whoops! A fire that burns with a suffocating, dazzling light. That''s right, ''Goblin Fire''. Even if the tablets weren''t perfect, they wouldn''t be completely ineffective. Somehow, I have to throw the odds out of this. right then Aww! With a roar, the poles that tied the yachts were smashed. Kyaaaah! A roaring roar. Yacha, who had regained his freedom, let out an exclamation from the inside. Chains were still tied to both arms, but such a thing could not be called a burden. ???????????????? As the chain swept the ground, a cloud of dust rose. It is such a relentless stretch that the wind pressure alone can cause internal injuries. Yacha''s gaze turned to the old dragon and Chae Hong-ah. Oh! As soon as you wake up, you find your prey! You two are the pawns who follow that bastard child? What was their name? Saha... Sama. Yeah. Sama-ja. That child. An opponent who has already fought once. At the same time. It is the enemy who gave him bitter defeat. Are you still licking the bottom of that unlucky bastard who''s talking about left-handed corporations or something? Don''t talk recklessly. You''re not the kind of person that a beast like you would dare to speak. Yeah, that''s right. It''s nice that you''re the same... Huh? Yacha''s gaze turned to another person. It''s the first face you see If you were the masters of Heavenly Demon Protestantism, would you have seen them all during Night of Night? What is it, new guy? Yacha''s eyes narrowed. ''Something different.'' It''s not just about being strong and weak. To express it, yes. nausea. A deep sense of incongruity was irritating his instincts. You... you''re a funny guy. The corners of Yacha''s lips went up. It''s been a while since I''ve been so excited. Left-handed... No, it''s the first time since the showdown with Heavenly Demon. Please, I hope my expectations aren''t wrong. ???????????????????????????????????? ! I wondered if the chains were soaring high in the sky. Soon, Jinhyuk''s head was smashed down as if it was about to be crushed. Aww! The ground was cracked like a rag. Even a simple attack felt the shock of a large bell running wild. If you get hit by this, at least one person will be crushed without leaving a shape. By the way. Huh? I didn''t feel the real touch. The taste of splitting the skull. Kaga! Jin-hyeok, who developed ''Black Heaven''s Demon Hwanggong'', was holding the chain with his bare hands. With a very casual face. Okay. You won''t be disappointed. No more rhetoric needed. strong. Hey, what is this guy? Is he a new member of the Heavenly Demon Protestant Church? Admission to school! Don''t be ridiculous! That bastard is disturbing us... No, it''s the new master we hired. Chae Hong-ah interrupted the poison old dragon. "Chae Hong-ah Danju, what is that ?" The old dragon asked, but Chae Hong-ah nodded as if asking him to leave it to him. You''re a junior that can easily be defeated, so you probably won''t have enough to deal with. Of course, if you have the same strength as before. If you have the same power as before? Ha! Are you going to provoke me with those words? What do you think of me? Yacha clicked his tongue at once. Yes. Anyway, to the extent that he is deceived by such words... . Obviously, I''m stronger just by looking at it, but you''re trying to shake me off with such a word. No matter how much psychological warfare I''ve tried, it doesn''t work for me. I was stupid. I forgot. Because he was simply ignorant of strength and lacked intelligence, he was deceived and captured by samaja''s schemes in the past. If the brain has hardened over time, it has hardened, but it doesn''t seem to have become soft. Jinhyuk let out a small sigh. No, wait, why is the story going like this? Just looking at them, they''re just doing this to buy time. I''m sure they''ll have reinforcements or something else prepared while they''re dealing with me. Hmm. I''m sure it could be. Is it? So... But, I want to play with you right now. Most of all, they''re annoying flying flies, no matter how much they come in, all you have to do is kill them. " " it doesn''t make sense No, maybe it didn''t work in the first place. It must have been wrong to try to have a conversation with a guy whose instincts squirm before he thought. The swear words welled up in my throat, but the time for the conversation was over. ???????????????? The very excited yacht moved the chains again. Let''s play happily. Until my body that has endured and endured for so long is satisfied! I barely removed Cheonyuseong. To hear that a macho version of Cheonyuseong came out. What kind of karma have I accumulated so much... Khahahaha! What followed was a storm of chains raging like crazy. Normally, it is normal to see the trajectory sequentially from the wrist at the beginning of the chain to the metal at the end... . Yacha''s chains didn''t show any movement at all. It seems to ignore the mass itself. It''s incredibly fast paced. kwaang! Jinhyuk reflexively swung his fist. Jittery! Even when mana is raised to the maximum, it rings to the bone. next to this time. Boo woo woo! can''t avoid this Suck! kwaaang! Jinhyuk broke his shoulder and caught the second chain flying from the side. No, I thought I got it. For a moment, I thought that my body would rise a few dozen centimeters from the ground. Soon it flew towards the opposite wall. poop... . A piece of rock fell from the half-broken wall. ''If you get it twice, it will break somewhere.'' Jinhyuk grunted and brushed the dust off his body. At the last moment, if I hadn''t been able to absorb the shock through the Swordsmanship Wangbo, I would have turned into a stoop. It would be nice if it was fortunate that the dust had obscured my vision and gave me time to catch my breath. But right then. Something caught my senses. It''s from the rear, not the yacht. ''Maybe this?'' A twisted mana felt on the hem of the Venomous Dragon''s sleeve. It''s a ''goblin fire''. At first, it was so faint that I didn''t notice it. However, as time went by, mana, which gradually became clearer, changed her heart into certainty. Was it like that? I thought they were waiting for support, but from the beginning they didn''t have that option. ''I was thinking of getting my hands on Yacha somehow without worrying about risk.'' If you can brainwash Yacha with an incomplete goblin fire, it''s a completely free trade. You have nothing to lose if you fail. ''While I''m pooping, you''re going to eat raw from behind, right?'' I can''t leave it like that. If that''s the case, I''m going to drag you into a riot. Tuk! ''Jinhyuk flew again. Yacha, who had been waiting for Jinhyuk to move with his eyes wide open, responded immediately. Where! Chains moved after the reverberation of mana. By the way. Ugh!? You damn kid! The place Jinhyuk went to was between Goryong and Chae Honga. It''s hard alone, but we fight together. Don''t just watch from behind. Jinhyuk gave a clever smile. After about a second or so. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The chain swept away the place where the three were. A squeaking sound rang out. Venomous Dragon and Chae Hong-ah were exposed to a sudden attack, and thanks to that, they had to be struck by an unexpected lightning bolt. Hey, you damn bastard... Really, there''s nothing like honor or pride like a fingernail. It''s supposed to come out like this. Although Chae Hong-ah offset the attack with the spear, it did not fully absorb the shock. Thanks to this, the energy of the ''Goblin Fire'' that the Venomous Dragon had worked hard to prepare was disturbed. Yacha was also angry. He''s annoying. Hey, don''t be funny, can''t you fight properly? Why are you sulking while hiding your power? Huh? Am I funny? Yacha showed his sharp teeth. OK. I didn''t look down on you. I had something to try. Jinhyuk appeared from the fragments. Something to try? Against me? Yes. If you come to Moorim, you should practice Mugong. You can fight using your unique abilities and skills, but well. Then there would be no need to come to Heavenly Demon Protestant Church. Master''s German text Mugong ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong''. to make up for it. And to enter the last realm that even Master couldn''t go to. came here In addition to simply defeating enemies and overcoming obstacles, there are other things that must be done to see the top of the tower. You say that you only use Mugong on purpose... it''s amazing. Are you serious that you''re going to deal with me with such an insignificant force? To be honest, I don''t think it''s going to be easy, but it''s because I''m the type of person who doesn''t like easy things. Jinhyuk shrugged. That was the signal. Hahaha. Damn it. This is the goblin''s patience scratching properly, this. Okay, then I''ll make you play properly. The smile disappeared from Yacha''s face, who had been constantly showing his playfulness. That''s going to be serious. [[Yacha is Lv??] Activate ''Chimimry (u)''!] vision changes As the dark purple clouds rose, an ominous energy began to encroach on the interior. Kick Kick Kick! Kyahaha! It was then that sharp laughter was heard. A pair of bright yellow eyes flickered through the mist. Chimimry (u). Shadow of coming to the land of goblins. From the lowest level Goblin to the Greater Goblin with a gigantic size. Numerous troops reminiscent of the military bowed their heads toward Yacha. You damn human bastards. This is the king of goblins. A magical beast that reproduces the mysteries of the East. It''s a yacht (ҹ). At the same time. For a king, it''s a humble army. [[Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong] ''Equation 1''... .] The black formula began to take shape at Jinhyuk''s call. CH 283 . Yacha (3) smal smal. The black energy that bloomed completely covered Jinhyuk''s body. At the same time, the purple mist from Chimimry began to be sucked into his right fist. weaker energy. It will all be absorbed by the strong energy. ... ho? Yacha felt that mana. Exclamations of interest and anticipation flowed out. "Is this kind of nonsense the ability to have ''skills''?" You mean that even the ability you showed in the Heavenly Demon was hiding your power? Old Dragon and Chae Hong-ah''s voices trembled softly. I had no choice but to do so. Each Mugong''s ''form'' is the essence that penetrates the essence. Afterwards, numbers were added according to the steps, but only those who have fully mastered the Mugong can use it. By the way, how do you say that the formula of the Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong, which is not another Mugong, is used with such a high degree of perfection? ''Didn''t he just know how to do something to exude energy?'' The poison old dragon''s eyes went cold. Assuming the little rock humps are here... . '' As much as Yacha, no, maybe even more annoying than Yacha at this point.'' have to kill To that extent, Old Dragon and Chae Hong-ah felt a great sense of intimidation. Unfortunately, however, due to the effect of ''Chimimry'', the lowest level demons, whose peripheral nerves were worn out, did not feel the atrocious energy. Kill! Kill! Kill! Ki-hee! Pretending to be strong on a human subject...! The lowest level goblins rushed in all at once. Moment. ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong. Equation 1''. From head to shoulder to fingertips. ''The Heukryun Rock Sculpting Sphere (ڒవȭ)''. The condensed mana exploded in an instant. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A black tornado swept through the middle of the goblins. Ke-e-e! Aww! Shredded fragments flew in all directions. The lowest level goblin died instantly just by getting caught up in it. Even an intermediate goblin was seriously injured. It''s hard to believe that it''s just a single ticket. Only high-level goblins managed to survive the cryptography. It was thanks to the high innate physical resistance and magic resistance. Kurre... Strong humans. We kill together. Giant goblins with blue skin and white eyes drew out their weapons. There were three each for Goryong and Chae Hong-ah. The remaining ten animals approached Jinhyuk. [The blue goblin activates the ''Garle of Sorrows''!] huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A hazy gas emanated from the bottle he was holding. Cutlery made of gas filled the air. Not only spears and swords, but also mace and circle swords, even in the form of harpoons and nets. The kind and the number. grade was different. Yacha looked at Jinhyuk as if he was interested. It''s like asking how you''re going to deal with this this time. And to that silent question. eating. Jinhyuk replied with a smile. I''ll show you. Before this step... . ''Numbers don''t mean anything.'' kuung! The black energy that had been emitted gathered once again. A deep dark scent that rises with every step you take. Cree! Kill... la! Boo woo woo! uuung! Weapons made of gas were poured out all at once. Countless lights reminiscent of meteor showers rushed in to tear Jinhyuk apart. front and back left and right. there''s nowhere to escape That moment. The first one (һ). A breeze blew up. Heat rising along the ground. The blackened steam started to burn all the weapons flying from the first row. Paz! The blue blade turns black and crumbles. And to the next J-Bo (ڶ). Hwareuk! The breeze turned into a hot wind. The stifling feeling of suffocation was only for a brief moment. A terrible pain penetrated into my brain. Aww! Mo, the body. The body burns! "It''s hot it''s hot." The goblins that were nearby struggled. Jinhyuk took another step. The third treasure () is the last step that marks the end. The wind around it stopped, and soon the sound disappeared. Like the eve of the storm, everything fell into a deep silence. force compressed to the limit. Dark and cold mana. dug into the ground Pants! It is different from before. Previously, if he had punched one point. This time, with the third step, the entire ground became a stage for the manifestation of the third step. ''To Master... .'' Sambo in the true sense. The last step I haven''t taken yet. '' I will reach you.'' this. This is the end of the Three Bodhisattvas. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A huge black salt erupted from the ground. Chi profit! Soil and stones burn. The columns hanging from the left and right barely maintained their shape. Naturally, the goblins in the bombing area could not even extract bones and evaporated. And in the midst of it, only Jin-hyeok was left alone. crazy it''s dazzling Because that was the symbol of the power of the Black Heaven and Demon Hwanggong. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... well, it''s fun. It''s fun. Is this the power you have? Hey. It''s very creepy, isn''t it? Yacha''s hair stood up in a juniper. The corners of his lips twitched as if he couldn''t contain his excitement. ''Defense itself is different from the demons.'' Judging from the fact that he was fine with the attack that even wiped out even the advanced goblin, he is a tough guy to be ignorant of. To say that it was damage, it was all about a little tan. Stop making an excited expression like a child. Jinhyuk flicked his finger towards Yacha. come in. Khahaha! Of course. The sea I was hoping for! [Yacha uses his unique ability, ''Strong Nanshin (y)''!] monstrous body. Literally, the ability to encompass bizarre and bizarre powers. This ability is manifested in quite a variety of ways depending on the learner. In the case of yachts . Become a monster specialized in close combat. [Strength and Stamina, Physical Defense and Magic Defense each increase by 30%!] [Fear resistance is increased by 100%!] A red status window appeared in front of Jinhyuk. A terrifying energy emanated from Yacha''s body. from above. Under. Aww! Yacha''s first strike signaled the start of the war. ...! heavy. Jinhyuk''s feet dug into the ground. Even though the Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong has been manifested up to 4 stars, it is impossible to resist the attack of the Yacha using his superpowers. Furthermore. A huge blue hand approached from the back of Yacha. 1 hit 2 hits. The first attack is Yachaga. And the second attack is carried out by the superpowers. This is the first trait ''no retreat''. The separation that made you forget the first blow was the true form of a tyrant. Aww! The palms pressed against the ground. kukuku kuk kuk! The ground can''t withstand the pressure and screams. The blue flames engulfed the surrounding area and dug even deeper. like that. A crater was created that looked like a meteorite had collided. Hmm. All of this is good, but it''s a problem because it''s too big... ttt. Did he die in one shot this time too? The yacht approached the crater. By the way. When he raised his hand, there was no body that should have been crushed. right at that moment. puck! Huh? A dull shock was felt on Yacha''s back. KwaKwaKwakwok! The yacht roared on the ground in an outrageous attack. "What the hell ?" Yacha''s face was contorted with embarrassment. Obviously, he was watching without taking his eyes off him, but he couldn''t believe when he disappeared. Black smoke rose from Jinhyuk''s legs. I admit to being pushed by power. However. Speed is me. You''re the top in speed? I''ve lived for a long time, so I can hear all the stars. I''ll pull out that head right now! Yacha was furious and waved his arms. His hand passed where Jinhyuk''s head was. Then a huge blue hand swept through the area. However, it is the same this time. Jinhyuk disappeared like smoke. chut. with the sound of rubbing the ground. Jinhyuk approached Yacha''s nose. Close enough to breathe. Yes. this is provocation Try to guess at this interval. The afterimage created an afterimage, and a series of performances from a very close distance unfolded. bang! bang! Whoops! Yacha''s body was constantly swaying from side to side. Hey, bastard... ahhh! Even if I only regained my energy properly... ahhhhhhhhh! Because of being tied up for a long time, Yacha''s physical condition was not normal. After years of eating, the only thing Demon God had was the dew at dawn. Of course, in a battle at the risk of life, such words are only excuses. Only once... just once, get caught. As long as you get caught! If you don''t get caught, that''s it. Aww! Yacha once again summoned the arm of the monstrous man. Huge blue arms approaching with fingers outstretched. Jinhyuk bent down slightly. Just in time for your fingers to close. now! He slid through the gap between his fingers and climbed onto his arm. blame, blame... percussion! Jinhyuk started running along his arm. Then, using the speed of its running, it hit Yacha in the face as it was. [Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong Type 3 ''Blood Penetration Sight'' is activated!] The power to tear the inside, not the outside. Boom! Yacha''s neck was bent upwards. A streak of blood running down the corner of his mouth was terribly red. But. Even with the best timing... . All I got was a drop of blood. I don''t like the word stone head, but other than that, I can''t think of any words to express. To be honest, I thought this would work, but it didn''t do much damage. It''s not called one of the strongest beasts in the middle class for nothing. Even the disadvantage of lack of energy was not a significant handicap. you ! A short voice came out of Yacha''s mouth. The torn pupils were distorted with anger. "It''s over now that you hit and fall like a fly." [Nanshin''s second ability is blooming!] If the first ability is the ability to specialize in one-on-one combat. The second ability is specialized in one-to-many battles. From the six arms, a letter representing fire came to mind. Whoops! Blue flames wrapped around his entire arm. When the word wind appeared there, a gentle wind brushed through Jinhyuk''s hair. Although the size is small, the speed is two steps higher than before. It was enough to catch up with the King of Sword Demons. Let''s start over. The appearance of the yacht disappeared. side no, it''s behind Boo-woong! Sharp claws brushed past his cheeks. Jinhyuk''s body rotated counterclockwise. Take advantage of rotation. ''Aim for the chin.'' Shhh! This time, Yacha lightly dodged the counter. The round kick that followed was also hit with the back of his hand. However, Yacha was also in vain grooming. There was a battle that approached double digits in one breath. There are no valid hits. ''Speed is... Almost like a whistle.'' Jinhyuk quickly spread the distance. It''s no use running away. I can catch up with you now. The yacht was killed. it''s definitely faster ''The more time goes on, the more I''m at a disadvantage in my stamina. Because the units of the amount of mana they possessed are different.'' if so . Jinhyuk bit his molars as if he had made up his mind. If possible, I wanted to converge after receiving all training from Master. I can''t do anything more than this There were so many things hanging around, I couldn''t afford to worry about the load on my body. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A huge bookshelf appeared behind Jinhyuk''s back. ''Tombgrave''s right arm'' ''Sword Demon King'' ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong'' ''The realm of the wind'' Four bookshelves were moved from the universal library where the abilities were stored. To create a new skill that goes beyond ''speed''. I will fuse skills. CH 284 . Yacha (4) [Two unique abilities are fused!] [Three unique abilities are fused!] Multiple fusion. Based on the four abilities, try different combinations of methods. throb A sharp pain pierced his entire body. He fought fiercely, and because he fused multiple abilities at the same time, his body was overloaded. Thanks to you, I almost lost consciousness for a moment. damn it ''Concentration let''s do it.'' Jinhyuk grabbed himself. My brain burns and my vision is blurred, but a mistake here could cost me my life. The fusion of the Black Heavenly Demon Hwanggong, which has not yet been achieved. Because the abilities that were with them were also top-notch. ''Adaptive ability'' relieves pain, and he struggles to overcome the widening gap and the difficulties that have become reality. right then [You succeeded in fusing the ''Tombgrave''s Bridge (unmeasured)''!] The first ability marked success. A bridge made by combining ''Tomb Grave''s right arm'' and ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong'' as a base. Pants! Three black blades appeared behind Jinhyuk''s calf. The blade vibrating at high speed had the ability to not only accelerate, but also attack. There. [Successful in fusion of ''Sword Demon Cheonryeongbo (ħǧ`)'' (unmeasured)!] [The level of ''Sword Demon King Bo'' is inherited as it is.] After that, another skill was created. This time, it is the result of fusion of ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong'' and ''Wind Realm'' based on ''Sword Demon King Bo''. Sword Magical Thunderbolt. Originally, it is a Mugong that can only be used with a body that has been trained to the limit. Needless to say, it has to be supported by a lot of practice. No matter how much experience you had in the past, it was different from the existing ones that could be used immediately after fusion. However. If it''s this bridge... . ''Is it possible.'' can withstand No, maybe even more. ''Whoa.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes went cold. ''On the new leg... .'' ''Unleash the newly acquired ability.'' like that. this moment right now. [Lv12 ''Sword Demon Cheonryeongbo (ħǧ`)'' is activated!] transcends the realm of cognition. super speed, Tuk... . Jinhyuk''s body disappeared. kwaang! The yacht''s head turned to the left. ...!? kwaduk! As I turned my head, I felt a heavy impact on my left side this time. The balance of the body has collapsed around the waist axis. Wow! The physical impact was not that great. However, the psychological impact was incomparable to the past. ''I Did you miss your mark?'' Such nonsense. Even after raising the sense of urgency to the maximum, it is not possible that the afterimage cannot be pursued. Boo Woong! Boo-woong! Six arms whirled through the air. However, it does not reach Tuk... tuk. chut. Looking back, it''s in front. Boom! kwaaang! If you look at the front, it is behind you. Even so, it was impossible to pinpoint exactly where it was, only to estimate its approximate location with the reverberation of Qi. It''s like walking through a thick fog. pudding! It can''t be. An opponent you can''t chase while using your superpowers... I mean, there''s no way! [[Yacha is a god of great power] I use ''Mudeung field cloth''!] A blue light flickered on its six arms, and then everything in sight began to burn. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The terrain has changed. Hot heat rose from the burnt red cross section. bombardment close to indiscriminate fire. ''If this is the case, at least the location can be grasped.'' Yacha opened his eyes. right then Finally, something caught my eye. found. 10m in front of you. If this street... . Six arms gathered towards one point. Six rays of light whirled in a straight orbit to crush Jinhyuk. By the way. Amid the raging storm... . the road is drilled Jinhyeok, who had avoided the ray of light as if blinking, approached the yacht''s nose in an instant. A black moon appeared on the ''fangs'' held in his left hand. A dark crescent moon that seems to swallow everything. The real power of the monstrous naanshin is not the distance. Don''t forget the essence of the ability just because it''s stuffy. What do you say you know about my abilities? What do you know! well. If you want to refute it, take a picture of the top of the tower at least once. what? The question didn''t last long. [The black moon night falls.] Scratch! A red line was drawn on the yacht''s skin. over it. tuk. Jinhyuk''s left hand touched. "Now get down." Thousand Year Penetration Goggles. Inside once warped by the hemoscope. Quadd... . shake once more Aww! Yacha''s back was bent like a shrimp. A huge wave occurred behind my back. The three sonic booms reached the ceiling in a circular motion. Cool! Big... uh..., Red blood gushed out of Yacha''s mouth. Here is not the end. The black blade on Jinhyuk''s leg cut through Yacha''s whole body without mercy. Kwok! Kakagak! A red line was drawn. Although he was somehow guarding the vital point with both hands, Jinhyuk continued to move and swung his feet. Heh heh... heh heh. The yacht staggered and widened the distance. The wound healed quickly. However, this time it was overkill. Yacha''s body visibly staggered. I''m bleeding... I''m bleeding from being pushed by one of those guys. Damn it. Damn it. Damn it! the spirit gets weak The vicious vigor also subsided. And that''s it. Aww! It was a start. Yacha suddenly grabbed his head. You barely succeeded. I was lucky. Well, thanks to that person weakening the yacha. Venomous Dragon and Chae Hong-ah opened their mouths. What they held in their hands was a flame that had already turned purple. That''s the goblin fire. If the color has changed, it means that the brainwashing has been successful. "Did you kill all the high-ranking goblins ?" Jinhyuk turned his head. Drops of blood dripping from the tip of Chae Hong-ah''s spear. I would have killed them all without a sound. Indeed, it is a skill worthy of being called the best spear of magic. It''s funny that you said what to do with the two of us with only six dogs. Still, there are things you can do to help. One battle with you will consume more energy several times than starving him for years I made it. Before I kill you, I''ll say thank you. You kill people these days as a thank you? No matter how ugly the world is, it''s too much... Fufu. It is a path for a great cause. Die with a happy heart. The Venomous Dragon has put more bets on the Goblin Fire. Whoops! The flame was dyed a darker color. Aww! A white was cast on the pupil of the yacht. Consciousness began to disappear completely. I waited only for this moment. Perfectly interlocking all Fragments. And the moment you get the strongest hand. Well, I guess I''ll have to try it now. The poison dragon snapped his fingers. Shoot it. Kyaaaa! kwaang! The yacht rushed in. As he was brainwashed, the attack route became simpler. Attacks in a straight line are fast, but not threatening. But, unlike before. Paang! ...Suck! Jinhyuk, who was trying to avoid Yacha''s arm with minimal movements, suddenly changed direction. A red wave pierced the air. This is Chae Hong. Paang! phut! Paaang! The left hand holding the front part of the spear determines the spear''s orbit. Maximize acceleration by rotating the right hand holding the back part. ''It''s like a bullet.'' No, a bullet is nothing more than a piece of metal when a bullet falls in the magazine. But it''s like a gun with an infinite number of rounds. In addition, even the blood poison that the poisonous old dragon spewed out pierced the tip of his nose. "You must never let it go." The Venomous Dragon gave orders to the Thunderbolt Master next to him. The sum of the number of Thunder Spirits who joined this place after dealing with the demonic beasts was twenty-seven. All of them were elites who were above the peak level. Don''t worry. I''ll stop the ants from escaping. on the yacht... Two teenage masters, plus the whole Thunder Corps... . too much no win rate It will be completely surrounded and will only eat away your stamina and die. However. Even in a desperate situation where no hope is as visible as nails. There was still no emotion of agitation or fear in Jinhyuk''s face. It''s a natural thing. You must have been waiting for me to lose Yacha''s stamina, but I also wanted to take the time as much as possible. what? Our employees don''t know anything else, but they are devoted to one thing. Slowly the time was running out. If you drag it for such a long time, no matter how well the passage is blocked, you will have enough time to break through it. as if to prove it. Mooo oh my gosh! A ray of light pierced a wall made of Shamanism. Breath no. It is a complex skill that mixes Breath, Black Heaven Demon, and Blood Lord as well. poop. In the thick dust, familiar voices could be heard. The school was so noisy that I left my work behind. This happened. Yeah. Are you thinking of killing the main student from behind and waking up the yacht? Dark Hwang let out an annoyed sigh. Wow, friendship law!? At least... Venomous Dragon and Chae Hong-ah''s faces hardened. I met the person I didn''t want to meet the most. To avoid this situation, I''ve somehow locked this place down. I never imagined that the barrier made by powerful Shamanism would break through so quickly. And to the side of the rock. "Dare you are you trying to harm me on a human subject?" You''re trying to kill the master. I''ll kill both of them. I saw Elise and Wolyeong. The two of them, especially with anger, were seeing vicious life erupting from their bodies. Not our evil master. What are you doing to your precious master! It''s a waste, let''s finish it with a little more certainty... Khuh! Let''s all save the master! Everyone, be quiet. My head hurts. The spirit beasts gathered in one place and raised their voices. great. This completely reversed the situation. If there''s only one thing that bothers me, it''s the energy emanating from Yacha''s body... . As the goblin fire completely engulfed the consciousness, a completely different mana shook. ''That spirit... Where have you felt?'' Where were you? Obviously, it was kind of familiar... . Something doesn''t seem to fit like a puzzle. Jinhyuk, who was worried, immediately shook his head. Let''s start with what''s important. Elise. Huh. You lead the sweet potato and the spirit beasts and take care of the rest. Even if you don''t know the master of thunderbolts, you have to deal with them without being vigilant. Even if it''s not, I''m going to break it down a lot. I''ve had a hard time coming this far. jerk. As Alice walked, the clothes she was wearing began to change completely. Moorim''s unique costume disappears. In its place, a short skirt and a black toe that reached the wrist took its place. Long silver hair was also tied with a string engraved with red runes. Attire focused on close combat. It wasn''t a unique vocal spear that showed all its power, but it felt like a mana no less than that. [Ellis summons ''Blood Spear''] A red spear made of blood similar to that of Chae Hong-ah appeared. I''m going to wipe it all out by myself. You just deal with the flying flies. Alice ran her long hair in a single pony over her shoulder. All right. Wolyeong seeped into the shadows. Sweet potatoes and spirit beasts also took their place. Don''t be afraid, kill them all! If they go outside, the Left Law will kill us first. With a shout close to the scream of a poison old dragon. kwaang! bang! Simultaneously, the battle began. CH 285 . Yacha (5) Paang! Kaka Kaka! The spear and the spear collided in the air. Elise, who developed the ''Blood Lord'', freely manipulated the spear. To be precise, it was closer to controlling it using a mana rather than swinging it by hand. tuk. Elise, who landed lightly, rotated the Blood Spear like a pinwheel. This is definitely more to my liking than the rapier. Long tied silver hair flew through the air. At the same time, the tip of the spear exploded towards Chae Hong-ah''s heart. A blow that was so fast that it was hard to even dodge it. kwaaang! ! A fire broke out, and Chae Hong-ah''s body bounced off. Hehe. Elise glanced at Jinhyuk''s side. With his ears pricked up and his fists clenched, he looks like a puppy eager for praise. sure. Jinhyuk''s mind was all directed towards Yacha. Elise was furious. You don''t see me like this? Even like this? Even like this? The window tease became even more intense. There is no other way to describe the stab to remove the remnants other than that it is excellent. However, the fish called gully did not catch, and the wrong side responded. It''s pretty good. Moorim, of course, among the Knights of the Empire, only those who have received more than 10 spears are in their hands. When it comes to spears, it was Chae Hong-ah who was worn out and worn out to the point of being bruised. It was clearly visible in her eyes. How good is Elise''s ability to adjust the spacing right now. Perhaps you have crossed many deadlocks and fought more battles than that. Maybe you are stronger than that man. I... stronger? Than the contractor? As much as the skill that comes from experience. I didn''t know he was wearing a mask in the Heavenly Demon battle, but that he was this young. It''s even more surprising. "Do more." Yes? Much more. More praise. Elise''s eyes twinkled brightly. It''s a bonus that even his voice has suddenly subsided. Hurry up. Let''s start with the first one. How great this body is and how great it is. I want to hear it all night long! Alice''s bridge of nose ascended to the sky. Jinhyuk, who was watching, clicked his tongue. uhm. It seems that a lot has been accumulated during that time. After all, I am the noble head of Ataraxia, and I have suffered a lot because I have been humiliated and despised every day. She would be a queen to her bones, but the reality is that she is being treated as untouchable, so someone''s approval is inevitably thirsty. While the fight between Elise and Hong-ah Chae stopped. Wolyeong faced the poison old dragon. Ugh. Wolyoung! How dare you point a knife at me? You just jumped out of the boat for a subject that you couldn''t even see! It was like that once. You, who are in the top 10, are in a position that cannot be compared with me. Once? If so, not now? As you can see. Wolyoung held out his sword in front of him. It''s ridiculous. There''s no way my skills have improved over the years. What''s the reason that the liver can stick out of the stomach? reason there''s nothing wrong with it just . I was under someone stronger than you. We fought together. how to fight And I watched how to fight. It was only natural that his teeth trembled. The cruelty of thoroughly crushing the enemy ally, regardless of whether they were on the same side, was frightening to say the least. Is it like being stabbed with a knife, sprinkled with salt, and dancing in front of you? I immediately thought that it would be more merciful to kill them cleanly. And after going through all that... . You''re nothing. The venomous dragon that looked like a tiger is now starting to look like a cat. Keukhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! it seems like time has passed and you forgot how scary i am. Slurry! The venomous dragon''s arms were dyed green. poison water. It is a deadly poison that can''t hold up even if it comes into contact with the skin and causes the flesh to rot. However, just before the spewing mist reached Wolyeong. The mouth of the sweet potato from behind opened wide. Mosquito! Mosquito! Mooogi! [The sweet potato uses ''Acid Breath''!] KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A darker green flash crossed over the green cloud. My, a higher level poison than my poison? The poison dragon''s mouth opened. However, without any surprise, he had to stop Wolyeong''s surprise attack from behind through ''Shadow Kill''. Jinhyuk looked at the whole battle. ''Thunder Spirits are pretty good, but not for spirit beasts.'' In the meantime, because of the harsh rolls, the five spirit beasts were able to breathe as one body. Sweet Potato and Wolyeong are also admirably pushing their opponents. Except for Elise, who is playing the queen alone, there seemed to be no big variable. Now all that is left is the wild beast, viciously showing its molars. right then jerk. The dark hwang approached Jinhyuk''s side. It is a face full of complicated feelings. The reason was already known. Are you here? Looking at the traces left on the floor, it looks like he used the 1st and 3rd sets of the Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong. Yes. I was curious from the beginning. Why can you use the monsoon martial arts of the main seat, which is unknown to outsiders of the tower, so naturally? The energy of feeling even old is not something that can be achieved overnight. It must have been backed up by countless efforts and training. that''s . Jinhyuk muttered his words. It''s okay. I didn''t mean to ask. If you can''t say it, that''s enough. Dark Huang lightly waved his hand. Even if you lie, it doesn''t matter. If that''s the case, then there must be a good reason. The main office has already decided to accept you. Yes . Master has always been like this. Even in a world where all the players have left, they are one of the few beings that we can rely on. At that time, I thought of Master as an impersonal resident of the tower. That''s why I didn''t want to give it away. After all, the act of giving affection to an NPC, who is only a part of the program, only left scars. But, the higher you climb the tower. The closer you get to the top of the tower. Thinking like that, I was madly regretting that I kept my distance. '' One regret will suffice.'' I''ll formally ask for your name. Kang Jinhyuk. Jinhyuk slowly opened his mouth to the question of Amhwang. "My name is Kang Jin-hyuk." Since the situation is the situation, I will replace the baesaji rite by dividing the books. Betraying and deceiving others is not uncommon in Moorim. It''s a world where people say they''re together, but stab them with a knife from behind. however. A teacher never betrays a student under any circumstances. Just as parents cannot abandon their children, and children cannot abandon their parents. Master and disciple also do not turn their backs on each other. "Jinhyuk-ah, you will be the first disciple the main body receives, and at the same time, you will be the last disciple the main course receives." so that. A person who tries to harm a disciple cannot be forgiven. See and feel it. If it were you, that alone would be a lot of study. A dark hwang stood in front of the yacht. Ugh... The yacht covered in white roared low. His reason had disappeared, but he instinctively felt that the opponent in front of him was a threat. The takgi on the body isn''t what it used to be. Maybe it''s because stupid people put the goblin fire... heh heh. Someone played a prank on it, too. It''s a very messy body. Dark Hwang looked at the yacht with confused eyes. As you said, the condition of the yacht was noticeably strange. The overloaded power did not exceed its peak and ran wild. He soon disintegrated his body. It''s like putting the wrong fuel into your body. Yacha was in the process of self-destructing by burning itself. Aww! I was looking forward to the day I would fight you again, but it wasn''t like this. I''ll set you free from the pain. kukukuku! A black energy surged around the dark hwang''s body. Black Demon Hwanggong. 12 meals. unipolar convergence (һO֧). The 12 meals of the Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong and the strongest Basic Form possessed by the Dark Emperor. Know. that move. that action. each one... . Originally, it was a state that could only be reached after one year of training. Even if I knew it in theory, I also knew that the Basic Form was nothing more than a dance if it was not supported by inner strength and training. But why? ''Somehow I think I can.'' Jinhyuk''s body reflexively twitched. right then The Yacha and the Dark Hwang collided head-on. Aww! Relentless inner air collided. A battle of pure force without any technical skills. Since the escape route was not in mind, every attack was a desperate attempt to take the opponent''s life. Yacha, who covered his whole body with his terrifying strength, swung his fists like crazy. Dark Hwang used the 12 formulas of the Black Heaven and Demon Hwanggong against him. It was seen that all the qi that flowed out of the danjeon was pulled up with the upper body. Obviously this next... . ''Ryeowon'' A black circle was formed between the dark hwang and the yacht. That is just the beginning of making a play. And Jinhyuk without knowing it . I followed the action. ''Haewon'' A new white circle appeared behind Yacha''s back. An earthquake occurred in the pupil of the dark hwang. Unbelievable. These are the 12 formulas that were shown to end the breath of a yacha who was in pain because it was contaminated with something. It was said that the 12 meals were to give the disciple an insight into what the Black Heavenly Demon Hwanggong was going to be. But did you see it once and follow it? It''s not the realm of talent or effort. the realm of the impossible. '' There was a real monster.'' Amhwang looked at the circle drawn by Jinhyuk with a look of disbelief. like that. The point of the 12 equations that should be expressed as one pole. [12 Transcendental Ceremony (Խʽ), ''Double Pole Combination (pO֧)'' is manifested!] It became a line connecting the two poles. white and black. Light and darkness penetrated Yacha''s heart. Puffy! At the last moment, Yacha did not block the attack. I didn''t even try to play. When the blurry eyes regain their focus. The boy was obviously smiling faintly. " " Thank you for taking me out of this fucking nightmare. kuung! Yacha''s body fell to the left. right at that moment. Countless status windows appeared in front of Jinhyuk. T-tiring! Tiring! . [The contribution was also recognized at 70%.] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level is .] [ ] It''s up!] [The copy condition has been achieved due to Yacha''s death.] [Successful in copying the unique ability ''Nanshin'' (y)!] [Nanshin (y)] Acquisition Difficulty: Unmeasurable Description: It is a unique ability of the melee system and can be expressed in various forms depending on the caster. Fear resistance to the opponent is created, and physical defense and magic defense are increased by 30%. [You have obtained ''Yacha''s Wristguard''.] [You have obtained the special item ''Taishan Sword''.] [You have obtained ''Yacha''s Potion''.] [You have obtained ''Yacha''s Secret Book''.] A whopping 8 levels. In addition, new abilities and unusual-looking items were obtained. However, despite the phrase announcing victory... . There was no sign of joy on Jinhyuk''s face. What the ''Eyes of Gluttony'' saw was not just the status window about items or rewards. The sense of incongruity I felt when the yacha was engulfed in the fire of goblin. for what its identity is. I just found out CH 286 . The Left of the Coming Destruction Whoops! In the place where the goblin fire remained, a strange heat fluttered. That uncomfortable mana. When it was fully colored, its identity was now clearly revealed. [''Eye of Gluttony'' sees through the target.] [''Indescribable residual fire'' burns.] ''Is that how it happened?'' Jinhyuk bit his molars. The ''Indescribable Remnant Fire'' is the favorite flame used by the goat on the 50th floor of the tower. And that I''m here... . It means that he came down to Moorim once. ''There must be only one reason why Moorim has been fine until now despite the existence of such an out-of-standard existence.'' I can see why Heavenly Demon was closed. After the closure is over, he is still not showing up. I want to go out, but I can''t. Because the fight with the goat was so badly wounded. I thought that Yacha would not be the end because it was a linked quest, but... . ''The board was much bigger than I expected.'' The state-of-the-art vampires, the senior manager Hasting, and the existence of the 50th floor I understood how the snow ball that started with the goblin fire rolled. Jinhyuk''s eyes turned to the air. When I played Tower of Trials in the past, there were times when this kind of event occurred. Residual fire is literally the remaining fire. They''ll come back from the 50th floor before the lights go out completely. down the tower. that too soon I don''t know exactly where it will be whoever comes down from there. The area will be turned into hell. Four days have passed since the work in the Thunder Jail was completed. In Heavenly Demon Protestant Church, the whole school was shocked by this incident. Not only did the yacht, which was trapped in the thunder-jail, run wild, but to prevent that, all of the thunderbolts, including the thunderbolts, were annihilated. In addition to that, he also lost one of the top 10 masters, the Venomous Dragon, so it was an indescribable amount of damage. The only survivor is Chae Hong-ah. Even then, he couldn''t even ask his own question because he fell into a coma due to the impact of the back of the head. In the end, all that was left was the testimony of Jinhyuk and the rest of the people. To be precise, it was a story that was fabricated to the advantage. The masters of our school are dead or in critical condition. However, the friendship law and its students are intact without any injuries. therefore? Isn''t it suspicious for anyone to see? It''s coincidental that things are going in your favor. You were the one who said that the yacha should be locked up. It was you who asked us to release the demons in the thunderbolt. Dark Hwang showed an uncomfortable look with his arms crossed. Maybe it was because of the muscles that were about to explode, and that alone gave off a tremendous sense of intimidation. However, Samaza was not pushed by that energy in the slightest. The goblin was for the training of our followers. "Isn''t that right? From the main point of view, someone thought it was for brainwashing the yacha, didn''t you?" Haha. Excessive delusion. Friendship law. How can you brainwash a yacha with only demons? Simaja responded without changing a single expression on her face. Even if that''s possible, Yacha is dead, so I can''t ask anymore. You did well. Yes, we don''t need any rude evidence or witnesses at our school. We punish them with our own eyes. Isn''t that how our Heavenly Demon Protestant Church handles things? " " So, don''t be suspicious of my innocent disciple. Unless you''ve seen it with your own two eyes. " the friendship law seems to have a very strong disciple love. It''s like living everything." of course. The Dark Hwang passed Samaza and crossed the Heavenly Demon battle. eyes cross They both know the culprit. I know what happened inside and how it ended. Still, he doesn''t let the inside out. It''s because you know it so well that you don''t even have to say it. I lost the first move. But it''s good to keep in mind that the game has only just begun. The number of preparations should be more precise. Especially if you perform Excellent grade quality right in front of me, I''ll crush your bones. "That I''m really looking forward to it." The conversation ended with that. As soon as the dark hwang came out of the Heavenly Demon battle, the waiting white man immediately followed. Best. I took care of everything you asked me to do. However, I tried to escort the disciple, but I couldn''t see where he was... I searched all over Mt. Hundreds and couldn''t find it. Since you''re out of the tower, you don''t need to be escorted. Are you out of the tower? Yeah. He said he wanted to cool his head... a little.

You defeated Yacha and rose to level 8. Because it was such a fierce battle, the regular stats also went up by 20. ''This time, we have to strike a balance.'' There is an additional way to raise mana stats. So, now is the time to raise the stats that were not invested. [Strength increases from 101 to 109.] [Agility increases from 39 to 47.] [Health increases from 49 to 57.] A bright light spread softly. great. next . It''s time to check out the long-awaited reward. By learning that the 50th floor guys intervened, the condition was met. [You have completed the first combo quest.] [The list of materials that can be selected is listed in order of highest grade.] With this, you can choose one of the material items on the coin exchange. Whatever you want, without restrictions. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. ''It''s really torture to pick just one.'' To be honest, it''s coveted. There are so many that I get hit by a truck. ''Dragon Heart'', ''Cogwheel'', ''Essence of the King of Spirits'' There are dozens of things that come to mind right away. Here are the Noble Phantasms of Demon Kings and Managers of the demon world. If you count the materials that advanced monsters have, the number of possible choices increases to hundreds. But there is only one choice. ''Dragon Heart or the elements of the elemental world take a long time to extract the proper efficiency. On the other hand, one day is enough to prepare the materials for Demon Clans.'' Can I use it right now? . Or, can you see the future? The worries didn''t last long. I would choose ''Corrupting Heart''. Without the present, there is no future. Jinhyuk held the purple-colored jewel in his hand. A Noble Phantasm created by Beliel. ''Purple'' It is a key material needed to make grades. ''Finally, I''ll be able to make one of the purple grade items.'' As soon as the selection was finished, another status window appeared. T-tiring! [The second linked quest has arrived.] ''Left of Destruction'' Description: A being who brings destruction to the tower will manifest below. Minimize damage and survive. Compensation: unknown (differentially applied depending on damage) The worst event Quest that annihilates the region itself. Eventually, the first scenario of doom began. '' .'' the sun is warm People walking down the street were enjoying their long weekend to their heart''s content after finishing their busy daily life. ''Everyone is at peace.'' Jinhyuk, who was sitting on the bench, looked at the people. Thanks to the various guilds and players active in the tower, ordinary citizens were able to live their own lives today. It seems that the Awoken Association is doing its best to help people lead their daily lives. If you look at the way society is maintained without any sense of incongruity. ''I heard that awakened people with wide-area psychic abilities are playing a part.'' It''s a psychic ability. If you can copy it... . Jinhyuk, who was in thought for a moment, immediately shook his head. It is a honey-like break after a fierce battle. There were already some troublesome things left, but I didn''t want to worry about being an awakener or a player. After allocating the stats and receiving the linked quests, I was thinking of taking a break for at least one day. Yes. I was planning on doing that... . What are you so dazed about? Come on, don''t look at Jim''s 176th outfit. Ahem. How are you? Elise made a full revolution on the spot. The problem is that I got caught by this leech-like vampire. Elise placed another piece of clothing on top of the shopping bag already piled up like a mountain. Bukchon Hanok Village''s famous ''Hanbok rental'' service. When I put a hairpin made of jade on my white and pink clothes, I got a pretty exotic look. ''Oh.'' An exclamation came out of Jinhyuk''s mouth. This guy is going to look so elegant. I wonder if the word "harmony of East and West" is used at this time. It''s all good, but you know that it''s for rent, right? If you''re just wearing clothes, you have to ask them all? Okay. It''s not okay. I''ve already bought them all. "Isn''t that okay huh? That all? All?" Yeah, I screamed out every single one. There is nothing that I can''t buy with my goods in the first place. I liked this town too, so I wanted to buy it, but I was kicked out of the place where the lord of the village resided. I dare to know who Jim is. That must mean he went to the office and got kicked out. I hope you didn''t even go to the mayor. " " My head feels dizzy for some reason. Somehow, there were no people who rented hanbok around. Since this guy bought all of them, of course, everyone has no choice but to return empty-handed. And look at this. It''s called cotton candy, but it''s the first time I''ve heard of a cloud with such a strange taste. How about it? Do you want to eat it? If you earnestly ask, I can give you a special one. Eat yourselves a lot. Just eat a lot until the cotton candy comes out of your ears. Jinhyuk shook his head. By the way. Seeing that Elise is enjoying the food, I want to try one too. I would be very grateful if you could give me one too. Surprisingly, Wol-young accepted Alice''s offer. You''ve been very polite to Elise lately, haven''t you been hit by her? It''s not like that. then? Isn''t Elise-sama a person that the master cherishes? I''m just treating him commensurately. cherish it... . After all, it is a precious and important high-level resource. Even if you look at the whole tower, it would be difficult to find a few such excellent workers. right then Still, thanks to my sister, I try on all the clothes where Jinhyuk lives. Hehe. I really like how warm and fluffy it is. Me too. I''ve seen it a lot in dramas, but it''s the first time I''m wearing it myself. Andrea and Teresa also came out wearing hanboks with different concepts. It is a combination of a fluffy fox and an innocent looking saint. I''ll have to record this and sell it for a high price. Did you even call Theresa-san? Are you going to sit quietly and watch how many people come and go? Even a scholar wearing a hat appeared. Cheese... it''s not rain, it''s meteor. Hey. It suits you well. I thought it was Sungkyunkwan Confucianism. Except for killing the king if he doesn''t like it, he''s a Joseon bureaucrat without fail. Bang-Won Lee should have met that guy at Seonjuk Bridge, not Mong-Joo Chung. Don''t be bullshit. Tell me why you called all of us who are busy. You left your work in Moorim behind, so you don''t mean to do something like this, is it? It seems like you''re enjoying it quite a bit... . There is no credibility even if you put a hat on the subject of even buying a fan. what . I didn''t call you to play. The exhilarating atmosphere suddenly subsided. I think there was something. Tell me. At Cheon Yoo-seong''s question, Jin-hyuk slowly opened his mouth. I need everyone''s strength. To prevent the imminent destruction. No, in order to survive destruction. Everyone must risk their lives. CH 287 . selection and preparation ''Help me.'' It is a word that is commonly used by people. But, that''s normal people''s stories. There were never any words that could come out of Jinhyuk''s mouth. He always designed by himself and rocked the board by himself. The rest are just there. By the way. ''This guy is asking for help.'' Cheon Yoosung bit his lip. I can only imagine how dire the situation was. It must be clear that he is trying to bring up a different kind of story than before. What the hell happened in Heavenly Demon Protestantism? It''s long to explain, but a troublesome guy smelled it. I''ll tell you the details while eating anything. It''s a long-awaited break, but shouldn''t we eat something delicious? Damn it. All the serious atmosphere has been set aside. Do you think the rice is going to go down your throat now? Yeah. I think it''ll go well. what? Ghosts that died after eating are said to have a beautiful color. You should eat well first. Don''t you? Jinhyuk glanced at the rest of the people. Jim is hungry. Even if the world is destroyed tomorrow, I think I will miss the meat and dessert I couldn''t eat today. Jinhyuk saved the life of me who had already died once. Hehe. Above all, wouldn''t there be a way to come up with Jinhyuk? "I will follow you, if you wish." I missed Korean food, but it''s good. Please buy me Korean beef ribs instead. It is a positive reaction. Of course I have to buy it. Now, Yooseong-ah. You say you want to eat Korean beef ribs. No. Why do I have to pay for the meal? That''s it... . Of course you''re the oldest here. If you wear a scholar''s robe, of course you must follow the strict Confucian laws. Jangyu Yuseo is one of the fundamentals of the Three Rivers and Five Rings. Heaven''s law is strict, so I''m going to get it from a subordinate somewhere. Oh, don''t be ridiculous! In that case, Elise-san or Andria-san... Jinhyuk interrupted Cheon Yuseong''s urgent shouting. By the way, residents are excluded. They don''t even know what Confucianism is or what Jangyu Yuseo is. Are you eating Confucianism? It would be better if it were sweet. I''m hearing this for the first time! Elise and Andria shrugged. And. I''ll eat well. ''brother''. Jinhyuk also used his honorific name for the first time. It was a bonus that he made a face that showed his respect for the elders. " " Cheon Yu-seong''s face was distorted as if he had chewed poop. completely hit However, I was struck by a nonsensical logic, and everyone was saying thank you for saying they would eat well, so now I am in a situation where I can''t even take it out or beat it. So we arrived at the Grand Walkerhill Hotel located in Gwangjin-gu. A top-notch restaurant offering course dishes worth 500,000 won per person. Shortly thereafter, various special parts containing 50% marbling came out sequentially. Oh oh oh! How does this taste? Wow... Exclamations broke out from everyone''s mouths. In particular, Elise and Andria kept their mouths shut and ate expensive beef like crabs. Hal...is it possible to get wealthy? Cheon Yoosung''s voice trembled softly. With Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min also participating, the price soared beyond what they could afford. As soon as we were full, a real conversation began. The existence of the upper class, the left-handed method, and what will happen in the future. Various kinds of topics were poured out. Of course, the existence of Hidden Quest and some important information were plausibly faked. I wrapped it up as if I had heard from Master that the existence of the upper class would come. ...that''s what happened in the Cheonma Shinkyo. If that''s the case, does that mean that the guys from the upper classes will come down soon? It''ll probably happen. Exactly how many floors will you go down, or you may jump out of the tower, but you can''t avoid going to hell no matter where you go. You don''t win by fighting... It means you only think about surviving. It''s a sad reality, but at the current level, there is no way to deal with them. Neither Jinjo nor Demon Kings, nor even the divinities could win against beings on the 50th floor. ''Even if I say I''ve grown uniquely enough to dazzle my eyes, it''s unreasonable in my current state.'' In the past, it took more than 3 years just to break through the 50th floor. Even if it''s only level 100 or higher, it wouldn''t be easy to inflict a single wound. Therefore, it is necessary to look for the next best, not the best. I''d like some support from the faction side... If you''re the best of them, you''ll be able to deal with the lowest level soldiers. How about it? Can you convince me? It must be a crowd. The Moorimmaeng is preparing for war against the Empire. In order to fight for the hegemony of the middle class, which had not been completed the other day, the Moorimmaeng was trying its best. Since Heavenly Demon Protestantism has also intervened here, unpredictable chaos will unfold. This aspect should never be neglected. Left-handed... No, as soon as he died, the squirrel was also related to the vampire family and hasting. ''Even if it''s inside the tower, the outside of the tower must be prepared. At least, it should prevent ordinary citizens from dying.'' Did you guess Jinhyuk''s worries? Cheon Yoosung added a word. If you''re nervous, how about talking to a large guild? That would be helpful too. Um. It''s not that I didn''t think about it, but it doesn''t seem like they would believe me if I said, Be sure to trust me, as it might suddenly appear and destroy the world. won''t you? Actually, your image is not very good. It seems like I was suspicious of you too. Cheon Yoosung nodded his head without thinking. Hey. It hurts if you accept it so quickly. I mean, it helped me a lot. Then, how about Teresa? Unlike you, you have a better image and higher awareness, right? "Mr. Teresa is." Theresa was well known, but she had no say because she withdrew from the alliance of the 7th Guild. If I asked for it, it would only cause trouble. Elder Chun-Young Yoo also has nothing to do with climbing the tower. If possible, I''d like someone else to tell me about this in a big way. Able to prepare for this event with a certain degree of influence and confidence. You need such a person. "First, let''s start with what each of us can do. For Taemin, I will give you a few points, so prepare for the defense of the base using the Machine Lord. Yeonhwa gathers as many people as possible to support Taemin." I see. Brother. Yeah, brother. I''ll tell Grandpa too. I''ll give you a list of things I need to do for the rest. Make sure to finish it within a week. If each of you has a better plan, you can take the initiative to change your priorities. All preparations must be completed during the remaining period. Even to increase the survival rate by even 1%. same time. Samurai Guild headquarters located in Japan. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh... Takeshi jumped out of bed. His whole body was drenched in sweat. Breathing was uncontrollably steep. His whole body trembled as if he had had a long nightmare. Unbelievable . Even though I didn''t use it, the ''half-future vision'' automatically activated. This is the first time an enemy like this has acquired a unique ability. Judging from the scenes clearly etched in the mind, this is unmistakable truth. In other words, the ability must have improved. However, there was no emotion like joy or ecstasy on Takeshi''s face. Ash, fire and death. Collapsing buildings and mountains of corpses were the final scenes to mark the end. I must inform you right now. The Japanese government or the World Awakened Association. Whether it was for the leaders of the Samurai Guild or other large guilds. Somehow, I have to tell you this. but What will change if I tell you? Who the hell can stop that? ''The crowd. Even if the whole world gathers power, it will never be stopped.'' It''s not on that level. Like a natural disaster, you just have to bow your head and pray so that you can avoid it. right then Someone flashed in Takeshi''s mind. divinity ''Kang Jinhyuk''. An absolute person who showed overwhelming majesty while taking the form of a player. If he... . ''Maybe you can fix this. Is it possible. He must be.'' The problem is that humanity cannot readily ask for help because it is a difficult situation. Not showing the least sincerity. If we had to spend a lot of money to solve only what we needed, there was no doubt that we would face another natural disaster. ''I''ll tell the guild to collect all the expensive stuff. what was there I know there are a few things you might like.'' Relics, Coins, and Magic Stones. This is not the time to save anything. And. We need to pick up a raid that will let the world know and support his back. If I did that, maybe he would forgive me for making a mistake. The worries didn''t last long. Takeshi immediately pulled out his cell phone. Tour... . A short call goes by. Click! What''s going on? Yoshio, the master of the Samurai Guild, answered the phone. "Right now, prepare a video conference with all of the guild''s rankers and the president of the Japan Awakened Association." no way ! Yes. I saw something in my future city. I don''t have much time. Okay. I''ll call you right away. The story started moving quickly. A ranker''s prophecy that can see the future. The whole world was shaken by the word that a disaster of unpredictable difficulty would befall. -Koiman: No, you''re doing it again. Whether it''s a dream or what, why are you so upset at the sound of the Seonmudang? -jsh3: Yes. Aren''t you all caught up in the word that creates anxiety in an attempt to win money somehow? -white: No. Takeshi that ranker. I know, but there were a lot of things that were subtly correct. -kc27: um. Even in the combined raid between the United States and Japan three months ago, thanks to that person''s prophecy, you avoided the risk of annihilation of the raid. That''s amazing too. -Emperor of Shurima: Seeing the uproar in governments and large guilds around the world, it doesn''t seem like a lie. -Krinnya: So you''re saying that everything could be ruined? -Yerlumina: Surely, there must be a way. -Haenaeng: Don''t worry too much. How many players are there, that should be enough. Perhaps. The voices of concern have gradually increased. They comforted each other that they were fine on the outside, but they couldn''t hide their growing anxiety. By the way. A familiar name came out of Takeshi''s mouth while he was announcing his name through the broadcast. We have agreed to support S-class player Jinhyuk Kang by mobilizing all our resources and manpower, and we are ready to move immediately if his permission is granted. -ksb: Kang Jinhyuk? The Kang Jinhyuk I know? -You asshole I am: Wow. Yes, there was Jinhyuk Kang! -Mujin: ^^ -Trust me only: It would be worth trying if all the rankers around the world gathered their strength. -fore: Gathering around Kang Jin-hyuk. -YJH: My heart is getting bigger. - Tomb Day: [trot] Large guild masters and sub-masters After a while, View Tube will introduce all the raid members and announce an interview. - Richa: It''s true. Oh my God. Do you think this will be the largest raid scale? -Filthy descendants: The rankers and the number of players. looks like it would be huge If possible, I would like Unknown to gather together. I''ve been a little less active these days, but of course I''ll be back, right? -JeLuce: They said they prepared top-class relics from the Nordic side as well. I really hope you can look forward to it. ''After all, it was good to save him back then.'' Jinhyuk, who was watching the Tower of Trial Community and Takeshi''s actions, nodded slightly. I thought the day would come when ''Half the Future Poetry'' would be helpful. He did a better job than I expected. Because of the influx of support promises from various guilds, the personal contact window was overflowing. right then All of Yacha''s item sets were exchanged for the ones Jinhyuk-nim requested. You can check the items in your personal subspace inventory. But, are you really okay with that? The weapon is... Rick asked as if he didn''t understand. I''ve observed all of Jinhyeok''s battles so far, but I''ve never seen him use this type of weapon. In the past... it was the weapon I used the most. Thank you anyway. I''m really grateful for the good deal. There were people who wanted items related to yacha. Oh! And... greatness! greatness! Rick cleared his voice. I''m trying to talk about the most sensitive part of the transaction, the fee. How much was it? "It will be 2.5 million coins including transaction costs and labor costs." Ugh. 2.5 million coins... . Thank you for exchanging the necessary items, but it is too wasteful to give so many coins for labor. Don''t do that. Just make one simple bet with me. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. CH 288 . senior manager A bet? Are you talking about a fee? It''s no fun if you only pay a fee, so why not add a little more? If I lose, I''ll pay double the fee. Also, let me answer one of Rick''s questions. Hey, that''s pretty interesting. The corners of Rick''s lips went up. For a worn-out middle manager, anomalies are always fun. What''s more, if it''s about the player you''re watching with the most interest, it''s an excellent entertainment. Even if the fee is second. I''m curious, there''s like a mountain. For example, why did you change the set item obtained by defeating Yacha, one of the strongest boss monsters in the middle class, into an unfamiliar weapon? How is it that the player who climbs the tower for the first time knows more information than the residents? And the most curious questions lingered in my mind about how to get through the crisis to come this time. The worries didn''t last long. What kind of bet? Rick accepted the offer. I''m going to open a gate from now on, all you have to do is guess where it leads. If Rick loses, he''ll be free from transaction fees for the rest of his life. Hahaha. This is too much of a joke. Do you think there must be a gate that I don''t know about? So, let''s make a bet. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. It is an added bonus to arouse curiosity with a moderate provocation. " Okay. He deliberately donated his assets to Rick Hennessy and said he was a Primary God, so I''ll pay double the commission." Rick nodded. Then at that very moment. Pants! A green gate, close to blue, opened in front of the two. Hey, is this...? An earthquake struck Rick''s pupil. Of course you must not know. I didn''t know that such a thing existed even when I looked at the top of the tower in the past. No matter how resourceful and intelligent he is, Rick, a mid-level manager, cannot be recognized. Purple runes appeared along the black border. The gate to the senior managers'' rooms. It is the ''shadow gate''. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo It wasn''t until the gate''s surface was completely open that Rick noticed where the gate was leading. Thank you so much for waving the transaction fee. "Jinhyuk-sama you are " Rick stuttered. Then, he let out a self-contained laugh. It seems that it was me who was still overlooking. It was a bet against Jinhyuk, not anyone else. Anyway, he''s a fun player. Probably, if it was this man, he wouldn''t be shy with them either. No, I didn''t know that the one who was driven would be the senior managers. Please, I hope you can come and talk. You who climb the tower. Rick took off his fedora and bowed deeply. I''ll go. Jinhyuk took a step forward. jerk... . When passing through a shimmering surface. All the sights he could see had completely changed. Bare branches and piles of snow and a small hut in the middle of the forest. As if, a place reminiscent of Northern Europe appeared. [You have entered the realm of Senior Manager ''Bendivia''.] ''I thought it was a place where even a Dragon could fly, but surprisingly, it looks normal.'' Jinhyuk looked around slowly. It''s my first time coming here. To be honest, I never dreamed that the day would come when I would be in the residence of one of the senior managers. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart was beating fast. As I got closer to the door, the sensations in my whole body became extremely high, and my body contracted to jump out at any time. ''As a senior manager, you don''t even feel mana at all.'' Of course, it is not without mana. Just like humans can''t hear ultrasonic waves, so much mana can''t even be felt. right then Come in. The door is open. A thin voice echoed from inside the hut. First off, it''s not a bad start. At least, it wasn''t because they attacked others just because they broke into the inside of the house. Rumble! Jinhyuk opened the door and went inside. it''s thick I felt the hot heat. Inside the hut where a bonfire was lit, a dark-skinned female elf was sitting. dark elf. To be precise, it can be said to be the origin of the Dark Elves. Hey. I got lost and wandered around for a long time, but thanks to this, I was able to turn on a warm fire. At the very least, I almost died of freezing. Ha... Nucksal is good too. Why don''t you ask for a blanket for a very hot soup? Um? I didn''t expect that, but if that''s the case. I think it would be fine if I cut the sausage into thumb-thickness and put peas in cream soup and a blanket made of deer fur. . " " At Jinhyuk''s words, the manager''s face was terribly distorted. But it was only for a while. The middle managers said that there was one player who hit the goal. I think it was you. Damn it. A very amazing guy came in. Bendivia clicked her tongue. Then, the wine on the table was poured into the glass. Stop the bullshit at this point and tell me why you chose me among the senior managers. I hate to waste time and waste. The shadow gate is a line designation ceremony. In other words, you choose the senior manager you want, and then you go there. The moment the gate was activated, seven managers appeared in front of Jinhyuk. And among them, the dark elf ''Bendivia'' was chosen. The first question should be well passed here. Because the senior managers were very fickle bastards. There is no particular reason. Anyway, the only information given about the senior managers is their names and races. In that case, I decided that it would be best to have a conversation with the most reasonable race, the Dark Elf. Because it will. You''re not on the same side. What does that mean? You don''t know? One of them crossed the line, too, very hard. " " The hand movements that were sipping the wine stopped. It''s a face I didn''t expect that I would even know such a thing. The administrators I know are the ones who protect the rules of the tower. However, if they collide with a certain faction, wouldn''t it be impossible to call them administrators anymore? What do you want? Talk to me, don''t turn around. I''m going to make sure that admins can fulfill their roles as admins. So please help. Make the manager act as a manager... . pinching hurts This is because if you don''t help, Bendivia is not qualified as a manager either. You''re arrogant. You''re arguing about our role in the player topic. Pointed fangs appeared from Bendivia''s mouth. In an instant, an illusion occurred as if the warmth of the entire hut had disappeared. Since the senior manager has revealed that he lives in a stronghold off the floor, of course, it''s only going to hurt to the bone. However, the pressure did not last long. But, I like the boldness. Bendivia stood up. Originally, we don''t intervene in whatever happens in the tower. But that''s a story when it''s a natural flow. "Are you saying you want to help?" Help... you''re overestimating me. Being out of the rift right now isn''t the kind of thing that even senior managers can do. We''re all tied up on the same floor as a mess. That''s why he jumps out. If it comes out, I have no choice but to leave it alone until the set time has passed." That''s right. So the system just gave the Quest to ''survive''. But. It''s not without a way. If a few conditions are met, you may be able to earn the ''time'' that Bendivia-sama said. I''ve already experienced something like this. Even at that time, I suffered so much that it was said that it was terrible, but . survived I survived and was able to move on. I''ve never experienced it, so I can be so confident. No, how else can I be so calm? Isn''t it human nature to be resentful or desperate when something outrageous usually happens? It''s true that the Tower of Trial is arbitrary and unkind. But it doesn''t make it impossible. You''re a very unusual human being. None of the residents who climbed the tower have ever thought that way... Then, can you tell me why you think that way? the last question. Jinhyuk slowly opened his mouth. The tower wants someone to reach the top. More than anyone else, it hopes to reach the end of this world. I don''t know if this is the right answer. I don''t even know if he liked Bendivia or not. So, he spoke the truth in his heart. really Because I thought so. Clear the 16th floor in one day. ...! What makes you look surprised? If you''re confident as you said, take out the boss on the 16th floor in one day. If you do that, I''ll give you whatever you want. A jewel emitting a mysterious light came out of Bendivia''s arms. ''Soul Stone of Longing''. A special item that can damage the soul. In terms of size, it is about mid-size. That means it''s enough to fight like crazy for at least a few hours. Is this what you need? Aren''t you doing this to use the weapon you have in your arms? [Certificate exam for senior manager ''Bendivia''] Contents: Defeat the boss monster on the 16th floor alone and free the way to the 17th floor. Conditions: Solo play (limited to defeating the boss) / 23h:59m:59s Reward: Soulstone of Longing (4h) The status window appeared in front of you. The first gateway to surviving the Left of Destruction has begun. Haru. I see. Jinhyuk accepted the quest. before leaving the hut. Bendivia added a word. I''ve seen a lot of climbers so far. The Empire, the Murim, and the divinities of each myth. The Spirit Realms, Demon Clans, and Elyos were all confident they''d see the top of the tower. So I was really looking forward to it. Someone, some faction. I believe that I will be able to climb to the top of the Silver Tower. A mournful voice continued. As you can see from the current situation, all the factions and rankers failed to see the top. Now they are focused on defending and expanding their respective territories and plundering the land. so that. Managers, too, have compromised between the ideal and the reality. Now, I have given up my expectations and just repeat the same life every day according to the contract with the system. "But, maybe I think you might be different." The conversation ended with that. The 16th floor of the Tower of Trials is made up of a huge tropical rain forest. The size of the floor itself was one of the smallest among the 50 floors, but there were various man-eating plants and insect-type beasts, as well as a hot and humid environment. Everything threatened the survival of the players. Because of that, the reality was that it was difficult to reach the boss monster on the 16th floor even after wandering for several days. However. ''There must be a challenger.'' Jinhyuk looked at the entrance to the ruins. There were signs that a large number of people had entered the ruins where the boss was. ''About twenty people.'' Outside the ruins, there was a flag engraved with a giant rock giant symbolizing the Titan Guild. Since they entered this place first, it is a sign that other guilds are prohibited from entering until the raid fails. After clearing the 15th floor, I didn''t know because I was concentrating on the Empire and Moorim in the middle class. ''It looks like he wasn''t completely playing though.'' If you''ve come this far, it means you have a pretty solid raid. Of course, it is not possible to reach the end of the ruins just by being ''solid''. I don''t know about the middle named monsters, but it would be too much for the boss. ''The boss said I had to defeat it by myself, so I''ll have to hurry up a bit.'' But right then. Kirik! Shh! Shh! A huge snake and a spider appeared with the sound of iron. ''Are they those who roamed around the ruins?'' It looked like he didn''t want to let go of the drooling approach. Sometimes it was good Even if it wasn''t, I needed something to loosen up my hands, so I should think of it as a practice game. Jinhyuk activated ''Subspace Inventory''. It''s been a long time since I''ve used it, so I don''t think it''s going to be a neat finish. I think it''s going to be out of control. Beyond the shimmering space, a rather heterogeneous weapon has emerged instead of the existing weapon. shudder! shudder! Two uniquely shaped pistols were loaded. CH 289 . ranker of rapid fire (1) There are numerous weapons in the Tower of Trials. From swords, swords, spears, bows, and blunts to various magic tools and relics. There really are all kinds of things. Among them, there are two weapons that have a reputation for being the most difficult. The first was ''firearms''. In fact, among the numerous players, there were only a handful of players who mainly used ''firearms''. The reason is simple. Normal bullets were not eaten by the beast, so only bullets using mana should be used. However, mana bullets were very expensive and had the disadvantage of taking time to reload. Of course, thanks to the Korean game pains, the method of synthesizing mana in the body to make mana bullets was popular. Because the process of synthesizing mana was unimaginably difficult, the fashion disappeared shortly thereafter. And the second is a plain sword, a type of soft sword. Unpredictable trajectory. Risks that can even injure users. There were only a handful of people who could handle this properly among the Moorim people, so it was impossible for ordinary players to use this weapon. Most of the time, they chose because they were intoxicated with fashion, but there were more cases where they were cut by their own swords than the beasts. However. There was a ranker who insisted on a weapon that others did not choose. jerk. The main focus is a pair of pistols held in both hands. And supporting this is a plain sword worn around the waist. Jinhyuk walked in front of the two beasts. Kie-ee! Green liquid spurted from the spider''s open jaws. The acidic liquid swept through the area with a sour smell. profit! However, when the green liquid was melting the ground, Jinhyuk had already disappeared. In the key? The place that appeared was under the spider''s chest. Taang! A red light flashed from the pistol. [The blue grade ''Kruger (pistol type)'' special effect ''Super Precision Shot'' has been opened.] [Content: 100% chance of critical strike when attacking with the same power at the same point. (Error range 0.015%)] Conditions requiring extreme acrobatics. The Kruger was a weapon nicknamed for decoration, not for practical use. Of course, there are such conditions for Jinhyuk, but it was mana. In addition, Rick specially strengthened the blue grade, so the base damage of the weapon itself exceeded 10,000. Whoops! A ray of red light protruded through the hard shell and rose in the opposite direction. Kie-ee! Even when a part of its body had disappeared, the spider immediately swung its front paws. Insect-type monsters that can continuously attack from any wound must completely stop breathing. The sharp claws fly at the angle. Kaga! The blade on the pistol changed its trajectory. At a moment where it could be said that they were almost simultaneous. The muzzle struck just below the spider''s jaw. Puffy! This time the flash completely shattered the spider''s head. ''Whoa.'' Jinhyuk took a deep breath. dreaming Mana spurted out of his heart and reached the pistol through his fingertips. [The Freezing Bullet (ꝍ) is complete!] [Fire Bullet has been completed!] Mana synthesis in the body. Two types of attribute bullets were created in an instant. right then Boo Woong! A sharp tail brushed past Jinhyuk''s eyes. It''s a fast movement that doesn''t match its size. "Human melt and eat it." Transparent liquid dripped from its sharp teeth reminiscent of a sword. "Usually, if I had a brain, I would run away from it, but I guess that''s why I''m protecting this place because of its aggressiveness." one in each hand. The pistol fired fire at the same time. Paaaah! Fire and ice mixed in one place, creating a thick vapor. Do you think you can get away with this... deception...? In the obscured view, the cobra instinctively sticks out its tongue, trying to sense its body temperature. That flashing and fast flash was powerful, but if you shake it with its characteristic flexible movement, it can be avoided enough. If only I could put my teeth in between them and inject the venom... . possible. ''If you avoid it about ten times... okay.'' Obviously, it was a weapon similar to the ''arrow'', which was one of the weapons mainly used by humans. A fatal weakness that there is a gap between one attack and the next. It wasn''t that difficult to dig into that gap. Don''t make me regret thinking the same thing as a stupid spider. chwachwachwa! The cobra''s body moved as if it was brushing the ground. Pub! bullets that hit the ground. one foot. puck! puck! Puppupuck! two feet. three feet... six feet... twelve feet. That''s it! By the way. puck! The shooting was not over. A flash of light rained through the vapor again. A thicker and clearer light than before began to roll in like a storm. what ? Countless bullets flew into the yellow pupil. You seem to have some intelligence on your own, so I''ll just tell you one thing. The reason why he was able to rise to the strongest position even with an unfamiliar and disadvantageous weapon. It''s also because of the ability to create bullets with various properties. Nor is it because of finding vulnerabilities that can maximize penetration. "There is no delay for me." rapid death (). After synthesizing mana and converting it into a bullet, it takes less than a second to fire it. That was the very ability that made even Cheon Yoo-seong, who was given the title of swordsmanship, bewildered in the past. KwaKwaKwa Kwa! All critical. A beam of light pierced the scales like thorns. By the way. [Black Cobra uses Lv18 ''Shedding''!] Just before it became a hive, the cobra shed its shell and ran back. Giving up like an intelligent person is quick. It would be better to judge the situation than to be cowardly. But. Jinhyuk had no intention of letting go of the man who was running away with his tail curled up. tsutsutsutsutsutsu! Instead of a pistol, a long sword was pulled from the waist this time. [The plain sword ''Red Lin ([)'' wakes up!] When mana settled in the long sword, which had a normal appearance, the sword split and stretched in an instant. The blades that traversed the ground and left a remnant were like a snake. The snake chases the snake. All the dirt and rocks were cut away, and it quickly caught up with the cobra. I guess I''ll just be caught by a sword... or something like that! The cobra took a sharp turn. As a trait of a flexible snake, the process was surprisingly natural. But, at that very moment. Chun! The plain sword was also out of trajectory. Living, breathing movement. Rather, a more snake-like change of direction was made. That''s it. Dozens of blades entangled the cobra''s whole body, without reacting or avoiding anything. You won''t be able to escape anymore. Red blood oozes from the cut scales. any bit. I was thinking of factoring it out as it is if my eyes moved even once. "What this that is absurd " Okay. Just answer my questions. Are there any winged bugs in the ruins now? Uh... I don''t know what you''re talking about. That''s not the answer I want. Scratch! kwaduk! The plain sword penetrated the flesh. Aww! Cobra twisted her whole body. "If you see an intelligent body like you at the entrance of the ruins, the ''boy'' must have come out of the cocoon. That''s right, isn''t it?" There are named monsters that can impart intelligence to monsters that are completely dependent on instinct. This guy, too, must have put intelligence in the bug. No, that''s right. That''s right! Again, as expected. What matters is how long he''s been out of the cocoon... . How many days have you been hatching? The 6th... the 6th! In six days, it is the time to have already fully equipped the flight capability. However, it has not been a week yet, so the ability to hypnosis using dust must not have blossomed. This adds yet another reason to hurry. Good information. It''s been very helpful. Then... release this a little. Hurry up. It hurts... I''m sorry, but that''s not possible. It would be troublesome if they rushed and warned that a new enemy was coming. The guys in the ruins had to mistake the Titan Guild for all the invaders. Jinhyuk lightly swung his sword. Kwajik! Whoops! The plain sword shattered the body of the cobra with a single sword. ''It takes 1 minute and 38 seconds to catch two... .'' It still has a long way to go to return to its original condition. The rapid fire rate also fell by about 20% compared to its heyday, and the plain sword moved about 3 degrees off the desired trajectory. If you want to kill the boss within today, you need to revive your senses a little more. still. ''It''s a good feeling.'' pistol and sword. These are the main weapons that we have been familiar with for too long. I hid it because I didn''t want to use it as much as possible on this climb, but when I use it, it brings back memories of the past and wraps around my hand. If you use it in conjunction with your existing skills, it must be a great synergy. by the way. ''I''ll have to leave soon.'' There was a danger of being dragged out of time when the butterfly guy started running rampant. Especially if there are players inside. ''Wind Realm'' and ''Sword Demon Cheonryeongbo'' were activated at the same time. chut. Jinhyuk''s new model disappeared. Soon after, a gust of wind began to run through the interior of the ruins at a terrifying speed. Uh-huh... Heh heh, heh heh, heh heh. "I was going to die ." A harsh breathing sound came from inside the ruins. Those who were holding themselves with scars were the players belonging to ''Titan'', a large American guild. " " The large man leaned the battle ax on his shoulder and looked around. It was Aidan, a ranker who was in charge of this raid''s engineering leader. ''I haven''t even gotten into it yet, but I''m struggling like this.'' The size of the ruins examined by detection magic is about 15 km. Of course, the further back you go, the more powerful magical beasts must come out. However, the difficulty increased to the point where the raid had to fight fiercely as it was less than 1km away. ''This must mean that the future will be more difficult.'' Aidan''s eyes narrowed. I expected it to be difficult because the boss monster on the floor was there, but the coalition colony made up of insects, reptiles and plants was more difficult than I thought. Obviously, I heard it wasn''t like this when the European raid took on the challenge a week ago. As a result, there was a gap between information and reality. right then Aidan-san. Are you really going to continue with this...? Next to Aidan, a woman with a long wand approached. It was ''Mei Ling'', a wide-area dealer and another S-class player. Like a Chinese-American, black hair and round lines caught my eye. You must have felt it too. Yeah. The dealer''s mana is exhausted too quickly. The same goes for healers. If it''s like this, it won''t be easy for the tanks in the first row to hold on. Worry and concern were oozing out of his tone of voice. I''m sure. But, I can''t back down here. We''ve been preparing for over two weeks, and if we don''t do it right and we step down, the honor of our guild will fall to the ground. Hundreds of new guilds are created every day. Most of them disappeared in a short time, but some were rising up with a light like a golden chimney. It is said that the Titans are holding the American continent tight now, but if they do not settle for themselves, they will be slaughtered someday. We will face each other in small groups so as not to be aggressive. Let me take charge of the vanguard by myself. Aidan grabbed the battle axe. at the forefront... . smash it in vain kukukuku! When mana was injected, a terrifying force erupted from his body. How long has it been? The raid, which was moving forward in a frantic battle, stopped for a moment. Mr. Aidan! Meiling gestured and called Aidan. Something? Here, look at this. A cave with a diameter of 4 m appeared in the passage. This . Yes. It''s a passage leading to the boss. The shortest route is clear from the wavelength of mana. Actually, it doesn''t look like there''s no such thing as complete misery. Aidan smiled brightly for the first time since entering the ruins. I was able to fight the boss while conserving my power as much as possible. The burden would be lessened. Are you going in? Yeah. Get ready right away. Aidan nodded his head. But right then. You''ll regret it if you go in. An unfamiliar voice cut through the raid. CH 290 . ranker of rapid fire (2) "Everyone, are you !?" An earthquake occurred in Aidan''s pupil. I came in to get my ears pierced, but I''m sure I''ll meet the person in person. Even in a raid where he was the engineering captain. My name is Jinhyuk Kang. Are you the raiders of the Titan Guild? Jinhyuk briefly introduced himself. "Yeah that''s right. My name is Aidan, the engineering captain." Wow. Wow...! Oh my gosh. My name is Me, Meiling. I''m the main dealer of the raid. Meiling also stuttered in surprise. It was quite impressive to see him restless as if he had met a famous celebrity. "If it''s Kang Jin-hyuk " Are you that ranker in Korea? Look. Jack. That player is Jinhyuk Kang. I know. There''s been a lot of uproar in the media right now, but it''s strange not to know. They said that even the masters of the giant guilds put aside a number, but it was true. It''s the first time I''ve seen Aidan so nervous? Even between the raids, the murmur gradually increased. What''s going on here? Obviously, I know that our guild has left a mark at the entrance of the ruins that they are attacking. If it''s that flag, I''ve seen it too. However, something unusual is happening inside the ruins, so I was forced to intervene. Is it unusual? "Didn''t Aidan-san also feel that the beasts in the ruins are very difficult to deal with." Yeah, yes. I thought something was strange, but... caught The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. Perhaps someone intervened. Otherwise, it makes no sense. Are you saying that the demons gave Excellent grade? Aidan identified the culprit at once. Because they were the only ones who had a reason to do this. you''re right. - No, it was uploaded by a senior manager for testing. No matter who you are, he must be a very evil and selfish guy. For his own gain, we raised the difficulty of the floor boss, where the future of mankind is at stake. - The culprit is born. I can''t tell you the truth, so I''ll have to sell the demons hiding somewhere in the tower with moderate smashing. The fact that even demons were involved in the ruins. That''s why you said it wasn''t unusual. Yes. If you make a mistake, you may be wiped out. To be precise, it was overkill, but the reason for having to catch the boss alone was bigger. Everyone''s eyes turned to Aidan. A decision that might have the worst outcome of annihilation. Aidan pondered for a moment and made a decision. Okay. Actually, the difficulty inside the ruins has risen abnormally than we knew. Player Jinhyuk Kang also warned of the danger, so I can''t be brave anymore. hoo. look at this Do you give up more easily than you think? A wise choice... instead. Aidan added a word. If you don''t know the boss, please let me hunt one named monster. Aidan now wants a cause. If Jinhyeok, the top ranker, helped the Titan Guild deal with one named in the ruins that he said was dangerous... . It''s not a failed raid. Rather, it was a meaningful achievement even in the worst circumstances. Aidan, who counted up to that, suggested the best deal he could do. ''It''s me, I can go here and there as I please, but it''s like putting a spoon on someone else''s business place.'' Ownership of ruins and dungeons is now recognized worldwide. Each guild preempted numerous dungeons on the floor first. Because I bought and sold that right. Okay. If that''s enough, I don''t think it matters. Jinhyuk nodded his head. Unless it''s a boss, it''s fine. At least one of the large guilds wanted to establish a friendly relationship. As Jin-hyeok joined, the layout of the raid was newly adjusted. We will drill through to the place where the Named is. Player Jinhyuk Kang, please save the mana and use it when it is important. Yes? No, it''s not necessary... No. We also have to pay for our meals. Aidan said stubbornly. I really like the way they don''t try to free ride. As well as being responsible. On the other hand. Ha. No, Aidan-hyung. Why are you so bent over? It''s enough for us. A man with a red tattoo on his face was sarcastic, showing a lot of discomfort. The aura I felt was never under Aidan or Meiling. Another S-class. It was also a man with a very unfamiliar kind of mana. Careful of your mouth. It was the decision of me as the chief of engineering. Yeah, yeah. I just didn''t understand why the same S-class went out so low-key. The man groaned to the end. I''m sorry. That friend has become an S-class this time, but the wind isn''t quite there yet. I''ll give you more attention later. It''s okay. Well, now that I''m in the S-class, I''m sure I''ll be overflowing with confidence. Thank you for your understanding. Soon, the raid began to descend down the cave. Meiling, who was staring at him to continue talking, approached. It''s far below that of Jinhyuk Kang, but don''t worry too much. Even so, we''re one of the main raids of the Titan Guild that is involved in the ruins raid. "Does being one of the raids mean that another raid will come later?" "Yes. If our advance team had reached the midpoint and made a base camp, three more raids were going to be deployed as the main and latecomers .. but this time, we ended up holding only the named ones." Aidan and Meiling, and the one who uttered unlucky words behind them. Even a man with a red tattoo on his face. There were three S-class members, so it wasn''t enough for the starting squad, so it was too much power. Three more raids are being deployed here... . Once again, I realized once again how many rankers a large guild possessed. right then Meiling''s face, who had been joking around, changed 180 degrees. Everyone get ready! Coming! As if her body had reacted first, Meiling extended her staff forward and began to pull mana together. kukuku kuk kuk! Kie-ee! Keeek! A sharp cry was heard along the dark passage. A powerful mana touched the skin. [Meiling activates Lv17 ''Chain Lightning''!] Meiling has cast lightning magic. At the same time. Sasak! Tsutsu! Bugs with red skin crawled down the wall of the passage. The number is seventeen. However, they are all kinds that cannot be taken lightly. Pants! A number of seals formed, and a yellow spark sprang out. Whoops! Lightning pierced one worm and continued to the next. It was a lightning magic that was powerful enough to burn the inside black, but... . Kie-ee! Keeek! I just slowed it down for a while. The bugs were still alive. how !? Meiling murmured in disbelief. However, it was clearly visible in the eyes of Jinhyuk, who had ''the eyes of gluttony''. Burned flesh is rapidly regenerated. Prepare for the next casting right away! In the meantime, we''ll stop! Then it''s the tanks'' turn. [Aidan activates his unique ability ''Vengard''s Promise''!] [Physical Defense and Magic Defense increase by 100% for 3 minutes!] [The monster''s aggro is concentrated on the tank!] Aidan slammed the ground with his high-flying battle axe. kwaaang! The bugs that were aiming for Meiling and the dealers immediately turned and headed towards Aidan and the tankers. Sharp claws, huge shields, and heavy blunt weapons collided head-on. Manage it so it doesn''t come out with aggro! Heel! Keep putting it on without a cycle break. Hurry up! A fierce battle ensued. A close battle that leads to a moment''s inattention and death. There was a splendid wide-area dealing that seemed to be measured with a ruler. In particular, the sight of Meiling tying more than 10 bugs and Aidan smashing them with a battle axe was a sight to behold. By the way. ''This will take all day.'' In Jinhyuk''s eyes, all of this seemed slow. This does not mean that the rankers of the Titan Guild are not as good as S-class. only . From an efficiency standpoint, the way they did it was too bad. Because to deal with bugs with the ability to regenerate, precision strikes were required, not wide-area dealing. Most of all, is it because you''ve met too strong enemies? Even if it is S-class, the level seems too low. ''If only I made up my mind... .'' Jinhyuk moved. I, we are enough... Aidan hurriedly opened his mouth. The victory has already been won. If I pushed a little further, I could have pierced it. It''s fine. I don''t have much time. Still, none of the raiders noticed, but along the passage, more and more bugs were coming. And at the end of it was the named monster, Butterfly. Jinhyuk took out the Kruger from the trembling space. Two silver pistols were gently drawn out. "Gun? Was your weapon, Jinhyuk Kang, a gun?" Meiling rolled her eyes. Of course, I thought I would use a sword, but a completely wrong weapon came out. Isn''t that also considered the worst firearm in the Tower of Trials? Haha! After all, you are saying that you are the strongest ranker while writing something like that. The strongest is a horn! The red tattooed man let out a laugh. And that laugh. Huh? Huh? The scene that followed turned into astonishment. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! bullets rain down Creating bullets by changing the properties of the body. ''Star Blessing'' and ''Daylight'' are injected to strengthen the bullet. A white beam of light filled the air. one per second. Insects that recovered in an instant even after pouring dill into it began to crumble without making a click. "Is the gun it was possible to do close combat like that?" It is perfect There was nothing to say other than that. Destructive power and precision. In addition, close-quarters combat using the blade of a gun while navigating through insects at a speed that is hard to catch up with the eye. It didn''t take 30 seconds for the bugs to be wiped out. Considering that the entire raid had struggled for more than 5 minutes, it was an unbelievable record. Oh my gosh... Is there a class between S-classes? It''s not at the level of a difference. You''re a total monster, right? There''s only one person joining, but hunting is so easy. "Is this really great?" The overall morale of the raid went up. Of course, not everyone was like that. Damn. It''s a melee combat job, so of course you have to do that. Why is everyone making such a fuss? Hey. Go and collect some magic stones. Porters can''t come here, so hurry up! The tattooed man started arguing with Amon. Yes? Yes. Yes! All right. The female player with the lowest rating was embarrassed and began to search among the corpses. In any case, it is not wrong to say that when about 20 people gather, there is always a strange one mixed in. Stop it. I don''t have time to collect each of the Magic Stones. Yes? At Jinhyuk''s dismay, the woman who was struggling to pull the magic stone out of the corpse stopped. After a while, another bug will come, more and more powerful than now. It can''t be... Don''t make a fuss and do your best. Even if the bugs come, I''ll block it by myself, a noble class. You''re blocking it by yourself? You? Yeah. Hold it carefully. Johansson, the only two spirits in the Titan Guild. That''s the name of this body. Oh. Being confident is understandable. I changed my job to the Hidden class, which is one of the best in the world, so of course, the bridge of my nose is piercing the sky. Come on, this is the spirit water of this body. Johansson injected mana. OK. A spirit water in the form of a small fire lizard appeared. Kyao! A small flame blazed from his tongue. It''s a fire spirit. Hahaha. Still, the eyes are not buttonholes. it''s a fire spirit eating. cute. Salamander. Jinhyuk muttered toward the air. CH 291 . black goats (1) Salamander. At Jinhyuk''s call. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A space was opened. Shortly thereafter, a fire lizard, much larger than the spirit beast Johansson had called, appeared. The luster that flows along the scales. Sharp teeth and luscious flames. Kaooo! Master! I''m here! What''s going on? Whoops! A bright flame soared high. Yeah, it''s not a big deal. I''ve been calling for a while. There, turn up the flame a little bit louder. Yeah. Master, Intermediate... Spirits. No, that would be close to the advanced level, wouldn''t it? Johansson''s pupils dilated as if they were about to burst. What kind of melee dealer is calling for a higher level spirit beast? I couldn''t quite believe it. The reality is that it is difficult for even the existing spirit lords to maintain low-level spirit beasts. But it was only momentary. Quick! Don''t be ridiculous. I can''t handle only one Spirit Beast. Johansson regained his composure and concentrated mana once more. uuung! A water spirit appeared this time with a bright light. Did you call? The spirit in the form of a woman politely put her hands together. A spirit samurai capable of handling two spirit beasts. This would be enough to prove his greatness. However. Undine. Come out for a second, too. At Jinhyuk''s words, the situation began to flow strangely again. Johansson''s spirits were startled and gently lifted the water skirt. Wow, I see the great water spirit. Do you know me? I saw you once in the spirit world. Of course, you may not remember because I saw you from a distance. It''s really an honor to meet you. OK. Undine nodded her head. What are you doing here? Because I''m obsessed with a terrible devil. Hell is waiting for me if I don''t come out when I''m called. Undine put the water candy in her mouth. A long stream of steam came out of his mouth. Ha... Don''t live like your sister. Find a good owner and walk only on the flowery road. Every day is hard. "A lot it looks like you''re having a hard time." Yeah, this is ''life'' Is it? Water candy feels bitter today. It was a long sigh that felt the winds and waves of time. "No, you guys " Johansson''s lips trembled. The story of a spirit being respectful to a spirit is only true when it is of a much higher rank. In other words. It means that the opponent''s Spirit Arts is far superior. What the hell is going on right now! A roar that was close to a scream resounded. about an hour after that. " " Johansson, who had been arrogant, was completely exhausted. Afterwards, in the battle with the bugs that came up along the passage, it was because he had thoroughly experienced how fragile his spirit beasts were. -Ah, the two spirits are over. also lower level. Oh, I see. -haha. Of course, you do it as a hobby, right? Not your job? - Oh, that''s my job. hey They say it''s difficult these days, but the Titan Guild seems to be picking up a white sword. No matter how precious the spirits are, this is a bit harsh. -Aren''t you holding on to the weakness of the Titan Guild Master? or hidden videos. or kept secret ledgers. -It''s a joke. Don''t open your eyes like that. Because I want to pull it out. Anyway, I''m really, really, so, so, so, so, so, so, so happy that you became a real spirit warrior. If it were any other job, I would have played the 1st floor goblin raid. Jinhyeok took out all 5 spirits as if to cherish. The scene of dealing with bugs with the Spirit Special Forces pose or joint Connecting Skills technique that we had previously matched was just admiration. I can''t even imagine how hard training would make such a thing possible. "There must be some sort of plausible special move, right? Well, why not just two?" ...I and I have at least one special move... Ah. Spirit Arts over there must be its ultimate move. The opponent can induce vigilance by saying that this is all it is supposed to be. The same side can grab the back of their neck and cause them to collapse with blood pressure. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. Master. That man is crying. A gnome in the form of a little golem pointed a finger at Johansson. "If you play, eat, and roll all day long, you''ll end up signing a contract with someone like that when you grow up." I don''t like it. A weak owner like that. That''s right. Mana is so weak that it''s hard for us to be in the real world. I''d rather bite my tongue and die. I will train hard in the future, Master! Everyone, be quiet. My head hurts. After much effort, the spirits united and praised Jinhyuk. Although his personality is angular, a contractor with enough mana is much more reliable. On the other hand, every minute and every second felt like hell for Johansson, who had to hear it all in front of him. humiliation and humiliation. Beyond that, human dignity itself was downgraded as if it had become a cockroach''s hind legs. You''re mean. Aidan smiled bitterly. I watched quietly to let the newcomer who was full of empty winds know that the world is not easy. True education was too shocking. It was to the point of breaking even the will to live. Haha... Damn dead people, damn talented bastards. All die. Please all die. Die. Die. I saw him walking from the edge of the raid, muttering to himself... . It seems that the psychological damage was severe. Was it a little too much? is a horn. The ptsd should be implanted all the way to the bone to prevent it from climbing again. ''Look, the spirit beasts who signed a contract with him seem to like my Undine and Salamander, so I''ll have to break the contract and recruit new slaves.'' It is orthodox that a guy who has exposed his teeth once, takes a picture and presses it down so that he never dares to do it again. But that was then. T-tiring! A slightly different beep sounded than usual. This is not a personal status window. This is because the status window appeared in front of Jinhyeok and all the Titan Guild players in the passage. [[''some'' of the cracks in the system] It happened.] [Communication with the outside has been established.] [The condition has been met.] [Something indescribable is manifesting!] The red status window was incomparable to anything I had ever seen. creepy the air freezes " this is probably it." Only one Jinhyuk here knew exactly what this word meant. At the same time. [A message from player Cheon Yoo-seong has arrived.] [A message has arrived from player Teresa.] [[Resident ''Andria''] A message has arrived from you.] The pouring messages obscured my view. It started. Much faster than expected. "Come on, player Jinhyuk Kang. How the hell did this happen ?" Aidan asked urgently. He, too, was pouring messages from the red status windows and the main body of the guild. "Boo, obviously the Japanese prophet said there was one week left " Yes. That''s what Takeshi said. However, Takeshi''s prophecy is that the ''black goat'' will come down in a week. It must have been that he had not seen the minions coming before him. '' It''s a bit dangerous. this time.'' Jinhyuk''s heart started beating rapidly. A day that spins like a treadmill. In a way, it was a dull and dull daily life. Rather, it was human nature to be frantic to find stimuli. However. All of that has collapsed from this moment on. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo uuung! Simultaneous cracks occurred covering the inside and outside of the tower. Black smoke flowed over the shimmering surface. The 5th floor of the Tower of Trials. ''Dou Qi Chang''. The border area between Moorim and the Empire. USA, France, China, Australia and Korea. The entrance of all seven gates shook violently. As if something was about to jump out at any moment. All the guild members in the tower right now. Tell them all to gather in Daejeon. Yeah. Daejeon! Daejeon! Kim Ki-tae of the Brawl Fathers Guild screamed like crazy. The rankers of other large guilds, including Han Sang-jin, the president of the Korean Awakened Association, moved quickly. Please gather the necessary personnel. We need to inform the police and the military so that citizens can evacuate. And how about the overseas support? It seems like he''s out of his mind, too. Because of the gates that appear in their respective countries, we can''t even reach them! no support At that fact, the mood of the Awakened Society''s staff subsided heavily. I didn''t go and measure it myself, I just did a wide-area scan. The mana of the gate that appeared in Korea now was far beyond the measurable range. But right then. Japan...! The Samurai Guild has promised support! One of the staff in charge of the communications hurriedly shouted. Japan? Yes. Takeshi, the ranker who predicted this event, said that he was greatly favored by our player Jinhyuk Kang. He said that he was going to apply for support right away, so please hold on for a while. Jinhyuk Kang. Did a person who received grace from that person appear again this time? A deep sense of gratitude and self-help appeared on Han Sang-jin''s face. Although he was leading the Korean Awakened Association, he was ashamed of himself that he had less influence than a single player. It was because of the mixed pride that a strong player would be with them just by being there at this critical time. "Now, where is Kang Jin-hyuk player?" It has been confirmed that they even entered the 16th floor. Keep on looking. It''s a top priority. If anyone can solve this situation... . There was only one. Han Sang-jin put her hands together. The hands that were holding each other trembled. like that. Things went on for every minute and every second. The Japanese Samurai Guild moved to help Korea. India''s Gandhara Guild moved to help China. Usually, they moved only for their own interests, but when an irresistible enemy appeared, everyone gathered their strength. in the name of humanity. And. With the calculation that if the front line collapses, it will be their next turn. The current gate location in Korea is Gapcheon, the center of Daejeon. A huge gate floated over the water flowing along the stream. Is this... a dream? Why is such a thing here? What the hell... Ordinary citizens stared blankly at the water. It was as if time had stopped at the sight so unrealistic. Don''t watch and avoid. There! No time. Hurry up! Please move quickly. Guilds must come, so please leave your vehicle left and right and get on the military bus. Police and soldiers controlled the road. The players of the guild also gathered every moment. Jang hyung. Have you seen such a thing? One martial arts dealer looked at the gate and swallowed dry saliva. Damn it. It''s the first time I''ve ever been in such a class. I thought I''d been rolling on my own in the Tower of Trials for the past year, but it''s completely different. Not only the size of the gate... but it''s a mana that takes my breath away even though it''s so far away. How are we supposed to stop that between us haha... ha... We''ll have to take some time. Until the rankers stronger than us come. That''s the best. Anyway, with only about 100 people gathered now, I couldn''t deal with anything that came out of there. right then Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... with bizarre cries. Something absurd began to emerge from beyond the rift. Oh, it''s coming! Damn. I haven''t been able to evacuate all the civilians yet...! Get your formation! Damn it. I''ll have to hold on to it somehow! Kukuku! The ripples slowly spread out, leaving the gate completely open. A huge creature in the shape of a black goat appeared. And the moment I met him. Aww! aaah! Terrible screams erupted from the players'' mouths. CH 292 . black goats (2) From beyond the gate, something indeterminate was protruding. huge black branches. Numerous mouths and teeth attached to it. And. From the liquid dripping from their teeth, several dozen meters of goats appeared in the shape of black goats. These are the Intent Body soldiers of ''Shub Niguras''. There were only five of them, but they couldn''t even fathom how powerful each of them was. Aww! aaah! I think I''ll lose my mind just by seeing you. The ties of reason are broken and the cells scream. Turn it off... Magical players managed to endure it, but all of their fighting spirit has long since disappeared. Wow, what kind of monster is that... "With us we can never stop it." Earn time until stronger rankers come? I felt deeply how arrogant it was. No, even if the rankers come, will I be able to touch even the hairs of those? . The picture could not be drawn at all. right then bubbly The river began to turn black. An unidentified liquid that spreads along the wave. The whole body instinctively sent a warning. That''s dangerous. Run away... hit! The players raised their shields and shouted at the citizens behind them. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A black wave swept the riverside where the players were in an instant. The shield shattered like shards of glass, and the tanks behind them couldn''t stand the shock and blood spilled from their mouths. aaah! Ahhhhhhh! Screams echoed all over the place. Colleagues dying helplessly. Neither shield nor shield have any meaning. it''s hell This place is in the middle of hell. He knew he had to run away, but his frozen limbs did not move freely. They are like this too... Will the general public be shocked? Absolutely overwhelming fear. By the way. The wave was blocked by something and bounced off. Sorry to keep you waiting. A large number of people appeared in front of the players. It was the main raid with Cheon Min-soo, the main dealer of the Balhae Guild. Balhae! It''s Minsu Cheon from the Balhae Guild! There are also relics. It''s a ''Cheonli Wall'' for defense against large troops! Ooh, can we live? Cheon Min-soo, one of the top A-class players. And the players who came with him were all raiders with experience in attacking high-level ruins. In addition, the ''green'' specialized for base defense I''ll even bring you a grade relic. [The special effect of the Heavenly Wall, ''Sancheonjingi (ɽ)'' is activated!] [The base''s defense is increased by 500%!] [Increases morale by +30!] [All individual stats are increased by +3!] [(Absolute Check Effect): All enemies'' aggro is concentrated on the wall!] The relics in the shape of a greatly reduced Heavenly Wall shone. A golden cloud appeared, and a long wall appeared along the Gapcheon. At the same time. Oh oh oh... The black goats that fell off the branches moved. kuung! A heavy shock was felt at the bottom of the river. Because of its large size, small waves began to hit the shore. "My wife, Cheon Min-soo player. Those guys ." Don''t worry too much. According to the analysis team, that twig with a lot of teeth is the main body of the enemy. But it''s already failed to get out of the gate several times. Are you saying that the body can''t fall over? At least for now. Cheon Min-soo nodded his head. The beasts in the river are probably the same as his subordinates. There will be plenty of time for Korea''s main guilds and Japan''s support to come. Everyone get ready. They''re going to launch a surprise attack from behind while they hit the wall. Cheon Min-soo gave orders to the colleagues who were with him. Five... "Can the three of us take it one by one?" It''s strong, but it''s worth a try if you don''t move the main body. It''s a goat that walks on two legs, so you can cut off the soft water. Sreung! Chunkyung! Various soldiers were selected. Due to its large size, if the distance is narrowed, there are many places to attack. Just then, the goats arrived in front of the Cheonli Wall. Aww! As his hand touched the wall, a roar echoed throughout the city. However, the general endured the current blow just as he had defended the border in the past. it is now Go to three. Minsu Cheon lowered the center of gravity. Lightweight magic and movement speed increase magic were superimposed to enable battle on water. one. I wondered if mana would gather on the bridge. two. Tuk! chut ! Smoke rose on the floor. three. Everyone is gone. The target was the rear of the black goats. It was an attack that pierced the gap precisely. By the way. uh ? Clearly, even though he dug in from the blind spot, he could feel a chilling chill on the back of Cheon Min-soo. This feeling, this feeling... . no doubt [Aggro effect is not activated on the target.] The special effects of the Celestial Wall... The absolute judgment effect of green grade relics is... . doesn''t work Besides, it was only when he got closer to his nose that Minsoo Chun felt it. What they judged is the mana on the surface of the black goat. In the deep part, incomparable to the surface, ominous and sticky intents were flowing like a turbid flow. Oh, no! I hurriedly shouted, but it was already too late. Dozens of lines spewed out of the black goat''s body that sensed the players. Chi profit! A black line ran across the bodies of Minsoo Cheon and the rest of the players. The pungent smell of burning flesh pierced his nostrils. And a more fishy taste of iron rose from the depths of his throat. Cool... Chun Min-soo looked at the missing lower body as if he couldn''t believe it. And that''s it. It was the last sight he remembered. Oh oh oh oh! Mana was agglomerated on the horns of a black goat. A sphere, not a line. The mana mass that Intent gathered gave off a dazzling brilliance. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The sphere passed the Celestial Wall and evaporated the players behind it. [The Heavenly Wall has been breached.] Roads and buildings are collapsing. Just by moving lightly, the terrain and features change. like that. The most terrible nightmare has begun. Korea Awakened Association Headquarters. This place was now immersed in a heavy silence so that every breath could be heard. Rumble! Han Sang-jin shook his body thinly. The relics I believed in would be shattered in such vain. The five demons that appeared in Gapcheon far exceeded expectations. President of the Association. I just got a call from the US side, and it is said that there is a revolt around Washington. The estimated death toll is in the thousands... "France The same is true for the Palace of Versailles. The information is that the three raids sent by the Olympus Guild and the small and medium-sized guild were annihilated and the division-level units also disappeared. The Guangzhou side of China has just opened the gate, and in fact has given up on defense of the city... There was only bad news everywhere. only 30 minutes. However, it happened in 30 minutes. " " So far, I have climbed the tower very smoothly. There were some major outbreaks around the world, including Lich in Europe, but that was not the case with Korea anyway. So it was reassuring. Only Korea will be safe. If anything happens, someone will come and fix it. ''excenter Is it only the past and the pride that have produced the present result?'' Maybe he didn''t even know he was paying the price now. Falling into complacency and forgetting that mankind could be destroyed. as punishment for them. Tongue, President of the Association. I know. Han Sang-jin nodded. Now is not the time to be blamed or despairing. It''s time to make some strides. I will upgrade to Code Red. I will contact the Blue House directly. code red. It has never been issued yet, but it is a unique authority given to the president of the Awakened Association. In the event of an outbreak that is judged impossible to deal with with players possessed by Korea, it is a procedure to discard the area and re-establish the boundary line at the rear. "The remaining players in Daejeon, the military, and the police will give priority to the evacuation of citizens and will designate Gyeryong, Sejong, and Okcheon as the second gathering points." If the destination of the black goats is decided among the three places. At that time, he planned to concentrate all his firepower through long-distance space movement magic. Where are the rankers now? It''s about 20 minutes away. The father to fight Dangun had already summoned all the rankers from the tower. Soon, a samurai guild from Japan will also arrive in Korea. If they all get together, can we stop it? One of the staff in charge of communication opened his mouth cautiously. His voice trembled softly, as if he was trying to find even a glimmer of hope. However. Han Sang-jin did not sympathize with the vain selling of hope. It''s going to be a bunch. The strength of the black goats seen through the video was different from any other demonic beasts I''ve ever seen. It was not simply a measure of strength or weakness, but a deep sense of incongruity that humans could not dare to fight against. If, at any rate, even a branch with teeth that appears to be the main body emerges, the human race will be completely destroyed. "Then, are you saying that we have to put everything into an operation that is destined to fail? Helpless. Even though we know we will all die " It''s not. It''s not all over yet. I think it would be unreasonable as a father to fight Dangun. Only one. There was still a residual fire that could be called hope. "The reality of just watching is painful and difficult, but you have to wait. That person will never give up." Han Sang-jin smiled brightly for the first time. So, let''s not give up either. If we collapse, we will not be able to see people fighting for their lives outside. KwaKwaKwa Kwa! A gust of wind blew through the ruins. White flashes of rain smashed the insects'' heads and pierced their bodies. To play the main raid role alone. Oh my gosh... The speed of making mana bullets in the body... it''s not that fast. It''s the first time I''ve seen anything like that. The mana operation is also ridiculous. Even the combat sense. It''s a real monster. That''s why I think we should seriously consider using firearms too. Don''t get me wrong. It''s possible because he''s that person. Others aren''t even that young. The rankers of the Titan Guild that followed them silently spat out one word at a time. Jinhyuk''s attitude changed 180 degrees right after the status window appeared. Hundreds of corpses had already formed the mountain. Player Jinhyuk Kang has already killed everyone and went down. At this speed, we can easily attack the 16th floor. It''s not something I''d like. It''s that we don''t have enough time left now to the point where even a talented person like that has to put all our efforts into it. Aidan frowned. No one knew about it, but it was clearly visible in Aidan''s eyes. Traces left on the corpses of insects now. Instead of calmly controlling the mana, I felt a tenacity that I had to stop breathing as soon as possible. And while the Titan Guild lags behind. Jinhyuk, who took the lead alone, arrived at the place where Named was. tuk. My feet, which had been running like the wind, finally stopped. ...and it''s still bubbling. Jinhyuk clicked his tongue briefly. Man-eating plants and flying insects. And even medium-sized beetles. There were more types of colonies waiting here than the insects that had been killed so far. Don''t say it twice. Get out of the way. Jinhyuk pointed his gun forward. Kei... Keek, Kek. Various insects showed their teeth instead of answering. Again, the conversation doesn''t work. All you have to do is wipe it out and move on to the next one. [The unique ability ''Wind Realm'' is activated!] It was at that moment when my whole body was about to accelerate in order to run rampant again. Fufu. To come all the way here alone. That''s pretty good for a human being. Are you the one who harms the Queen''s children? A monster in the shape of a giant butterfly appeared. To be precise, it was in the form of a woman''s body with huge butterfly wings attached to it. The named monster ''Mrsielio''. This guy infuses the bugs with intelligence and is the one who leads them. I am the limb of the great queen. Mrsieli... Taang! The gun fired fire. The mana bullet that flew in a straight line hit the butterfly''s skull. Ugh... Drops of blood ran down Mrsielio''s forehead. I''m cowardly when this damn bastard talks... Taang! Taang! Taang! CH 293 . fading time puff puff puff! [Critical has been activated!] Blood gushed out of Mrsielio''s forehead as the gunfire continued like a storm. ''Super-precision shooting'' by firing the same spot precisely It was because of the effect. Aww! Mrsielio screamed in anger. The pain was painful, but I never imagined that I would suffer in this way. This is blasphemy against the commander who, as the queen''s limb, commanded numerous clusters. That''s why you''re hiding behind the bugs. Why are you flying alone with your wings outstretched? I''m not protesting to shoot you. Jinhyuk clicked his tongue. Did I say that idiots and acting like high places? That''s just what I''m saying about this. Human bastard... I won''t let it go! [Mrsielio uses ''Yellow Dust''!] Pants... . As the butterfly flapped its wings, yellow powder was scattered. It is a mysterious powder that infuses allies with intelligence, but it is a devil-like powder that causes enemies to lose their sanity and go crazy. The dust spread widely and began to surround Jinhyuk. It''s a powder full of hallucinogenic ingredients. I thoroughly train you with this, and then play with it every night. No matter how much you beg for the powder, it won''t come easily, so expect it. Fufu. uhm. That''s a pretty dangerous statement. Furthermore . It''s unreasonable at that slow speed. No matter how powerful an attack is, if you dodge it, that''s all. Jinhyuk moved his body lightly and slipped through the dust. OK. Who said that? Am I slow? Boo Woong! The speed of the flying dust has increased by one step. It seemed that there was no room for escape by completely blocking the escape route and narrowing the siege. However, right before the powder touched Jinhyuk''s body. Jinhyuk fired a storm-like shot at the flying powder. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! What the hell are you trying to do with a gun like that? I mean, you''re going to shoot all those things right? No matter how stupid you are... huh? Huh? Oh? As he was speaking, a strange sound came out of Mrsielio''s voice. No matter how large the particles of dust are, their basic form is powder. But you''re going to cancel it all out. What kind of monster is such a nonsense... . "Uh uh uh " Mrsielio pursed his lips. I told you. Are you slow? Aaaaaah! Kill it! What are you doing. Kill it! Ke-e-e! Keek! Even the bugs that received the order joined, A large centipede burrowed into the sand and disappeared from view. Dozens of wasps rushed in with their stingers. The long-lived beetle and various man-eating plants have also been pressured by building dense walls. "If you can''t do it with quality, you push it with sheep It''s a bug-like way of thinking." chwachwachwa chow chow! As if it had changed, the plain sword spread out in all directions, scattering the blades on the blade. A sword technique developed independently when climbing a tower in the past. No, there is no Basic Form, so it''s too shabby to call it swordsmanship. This is just Because it was just an optimized movement to handle the plain sword comfortably and efficiently. It would be correct to say that it is more of a dance that just puts making the other person annoyed as the top priority. but. Not knowing anything else, just digging into a sore spot was excellent. [The unique ability ''Sword Graveyard'' is open!] When the strength was added, its power was beyond imagination. Kee! Aww! Fragment The fragments of the shattered bugs rolled on the floor. Chun! Zurich! The sword dug into the sand as if alive. At the same time. Oooh! Wow! The centipedes, which had been hiding in the sand and looking for a crack, came out. Centipedes twisting their bodies while being pierced by plain swords. kwaduduk! As Jinhyuk swings his sword one more time, the scream disappears. Why don''t you put everything in your limbs, and attack yourself with the Queen''s precious riches? The crumpled Mr. Tinkerbell. Damn, crumpled Tinkerbell? There''s a fairy from our world fairy tale. After you get hit by a car... um. I''ll do it again. Once in a 10t truck... it''s not going to work. If you get hit one or ten times, you can think of it like him. . To be honest, I tried to package it as kindly as possible to avoid hurting it. To be honest, we have nothing in common other than gender. How dare you make fun of this body, a nobleman of the great insect clan? All right. I''ll do everything in my power to cut you down with this body. [Mrsielio tries to ''cocoon''!] [All wounds are healed.] [If the whole body is completely covered with a cocoon, defense will increase by 3800%.] A white thread began to surround the body of the huge butterfly. cocooning. It is the ability to reflect the traits of insects that grow as they undergo metamorphosis. The moment you see my true self will be your last... huh? By the way. As he spoke, Mrsielio tilted his head. It was because I couldn''t see the face of the person I was supposed to be listening to. The antennae were sweet. The senses in his whole body moved to find the enemy. Appeared above the void. To be precise, it was above Mrsielio''s head. Thanks to the overlapping of ''Wind''s Realm'' and ''Gemma Cheonryeongbo'', it was able to show movements that approached short-distance spatial movement. tuk. Jinhyeok landed on the cocoon and pointed his gun at Mrsielio''s head. Who''s been waiting for you? This isn''t some kind of 12 year old anime. I have no intention of applauding or applauding until the transformation is over. Come on, wait. Mrsielio hurriedly shouted, but it was after the red mana had already formed on the tip of the gun. If ''cocoonization'' is fully developed, it cannot be used. Right before that, movement is restricted and loopholes are completely exposed. In terms of time, a few seconds. This is the best time to kill the butterfly. Don''t be too unfair. There is no monster that can''t fall for my provocation. Shut up...! KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The red magic bullet broke the outer skin and pierced the brain inside. [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [You have obtained Mercielio''s Wings (Material).] [[''Yellow Dust''] You got 500mg.] Kie-ee! Kee! It was then that the worms began to run rampant. Originally, they were the ones who had to get out of control immediately after losing their commander and bite each other or disperse. However, the fact that he is exhibiting such abnormal behavior is... . kukukuku! Vibration felt along the ground. I saved the trouble of going there on purpose. It means that the boss on the 16th floor, who lost his right arm in vain, moved directly. kwaaang! As the ground turned over, a giant insect with a pale-coloured skin jumped out. About 5m in size. Although it has a shape similar to that of Hercules beetle, it is different from the existing insects. This guy is the queen. This is the highlight of this raid. My children... The queen scanned the corpses lying on the floor. There was emptiness, anger, and emotions beyond that. If you touch the heart of the beings above, you will die nicely. Just because you come all the way to this place, your destiny will not change. " ho. You mean you know what''s going on outside the tower?" Don''t make fun of the beings who rule the floor. I know much more than you know of insignificant knowledge and information. The queen''s eyes turned to Jinhyuk. Looks like you''re going to kill me and get an Artifact to fight them, but it''s useless. Spending a few hours here, the Intent Bodies outside the tower will shatter your world to ashes. Hey. How did you calculate that much? It''s a much smarter bug than I thought. Jinhyuk let out a smirk. But, do you know that? "Even if it''s not me, it doesn''t mean that there are no talented people in this world." Even if Shub Niguras comes directly. There are enough people who can deal with the Intent Body below it. In order to prepare for such a situation, even if I do not say it, I have placed at least a card about Plan B. And. Why do you think I''ll be here for hours? [''Memory of the World'' is activated.] Jinhyuk waved his hand toward the air. Then, behind his back, a library of many skills appeared. [The unique ability ''Sanctuary of the Sun'' is activated!] ???????????? passing bookshelf. The stage of Egyptian divinity is reproduced, and the world of the queen who ruled the community has disappeared. A space with a desert, a sphinx and a huge pyramid. A golden beam of light became a pillar in the sky that supported the barriers of the sanctuary. Wow, is this...? A twinkle crept into the queen''s eyes. A ''daylight'' appeared on the gun held in his left hand. The sword held in his right hand was imbued with ''Hyeolmagi''. No need to drag it for hours. Don''t finish it in three minutes. The smile disappeared from Jinhyuk''s face. After the gates were opened, large cities around the world fell into darkness. Burned buildings and abandoned cars. A city completely devoid of people. A scene reminiscent of an apocalypse. The survivors who had not yet escaped from this hell hid trembling. Mom. I''m scared... The cry of a child echoed through the underground parking lot. Wow, if you stay here, you won''t find it, right? A woman who appeared to be the child''s mother carefully opened her mouth. I''ve put a flame around it that prevents mana detection, so it won''t go unnoticed. I''ve also set up chess pieces for bait. Fighting it will be impossible, but it''ll be enough to buy time until we escape. Min Jung-woo and Lee Yu-ri reassured people. So, after rationing the water and food I had, I had time to take a breather. Uh-huh. I''m too lazy to say it, but it''s really difficult. Are we completely isolated? Heh heh. What can I do? Now that the situation is like this, I have no choice but to endure it somehow. Inspiration always sounds like something that''s comfortable. It''s not a joke, Jinhyuk Kang, if that person doesn''t come sooner, we might all die. Hmm. From my point of view, it''s like calling in a tiger to chase a wolf. "The goat outside is the wolf and the tiger is Jinhyuk Kang, right?" Isn''t it the other way around? "It is it is." The two trembled thinly, recalling the bad relationship that began when they met Jin-hyuk at the National Museum of Korea. In particular, Lee Yu-ri had memories of playing a labor song and staying up all night to make chess pieces. Do you personally know Kang Jin-hyuk player? Kim Ki-tae of the Brawl Fathers Guild responded to Jin-hyuk''s name. He also came to Daejeon as an advance squadron and was isolated here. Huh? Do you know that person too? Yes. We worked together a few times. That bastard got me hooked from the start. We could have started off with a really, really good edge. Ha... I still get a headache thinking about it. It was a bit absurd when I burned the entire Daedongyeojido. I was deceived properly. A national treasure Actually, I was also hit by him several times. Haha. A strange consensus was formed between the three of them. It was mostly a sympathy for the bitter taste. still. One thing is certain. "I will definitely come." Isn''t it natural? Even if that friend pampers people, it''s not bad in nature. You''re right. If it were player Jinhyuk Kang, he would give you something. The three believed. That Jinhyuk would never abandon people. And. No matter how hellish this situation is now, it can be different if Jinhyuk comes. But that was then. Aww! With a strong impact, a roar pierced the eardrums. Dust was dripping from the ceiling. "What ! Yuri-san, these guys?" Che, the chess pieces... Damn it. Not one guy. Not only the bait, but the chess pieces I placed in the escape route were all smashed! Yuri shouted with a white face. CH 294 . The strongest guild ''Goin Corporation'' The ceiling shattered, revealing the face of a huge goat. Oh oh oh oh! shadows cast in the sky The ground cracked like a tortoise shell at the loud roar. afraid. Dare to the point where it''s hard to lift a finger. Rumble! Everyone froze on the spot. They were struggling to survive, but even their instincts faded in the face of overwhelming fear. [''Black Goat'' uses ''Crushing Pulse''!] An ominous light gathered from the black goat''s mouth. It was the cursed attack that destroyed the Heavenly Wall the other day. Oh . A short sigh escaped Kim Ki-tae''s mouth. The people hiding in the underground parking lot also screamed and hugged each other. I see a mother holding her baby in her arms. 1 second. 2 seconds and 3 seconds. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A mass of mana compressed to the limit was detonated in a straight line. From the spot where the black goat was to the entrance to the parking lot. Anything that came into the light range began to evaporate. there''s no way to stop it There was no will to avoid it. That''s it. The moment I thought so. Pants! A red pentagram appeared in front of everyone. Aww! As the giant mana and mana collided, the dust accumulated on the floor was seen rising in an instant. ha . short sigh. Soon after, from the dust appeared a man wearing a mask with geometric patterns on it. Uh, Unknown... player? Really, why do I have to do such a hard job? To be honest, I''ll have to buy you chicken all month for this to be forgiven. French fries with cheese sauce! Cola with lots of ice! If possible, Coke Zero! Elise, who was muttering alone, looked at the black goat. Look at what the fuck, I''m going to die of madness, but you again! [The unique ability ''Blood Lord'' will be unlocked!] The sky was stained with blood. Oh! You sound like that. Alice waved her hand toward the air. Dozens of red harpoons pierced the black goat''s body. swaying The black goat''s body took a step back. That is the beginning. A strange thing happened. all over the world simultaneously. Europe. The black goats moving along the devastated southern French national road came to a standstill. Because they saw someone standing in their way. jerk. Brilliant blonde hair flowed down over the pure white armor. It was Teresa. Cheon Yoo-seong was also next to him. By now, everyone should have reached my position. That''s right. Everyone left earlier than us. Cheon Yoosung nodded his head. Elise-san alone will be enough, and this one with Cheon Yoo-seong... and that one too, so it''s worth a try. Teresa''s gaze turned to the side of Cheon Yuseong. When our eyes met, the innocent beauty with jet-black short hair smiled brightly. Chumyeongsayoung. He was the master who invented the Chuhon Sword and the teacher who taught Cheonyuseong. Originally, he had to remain in the Moorimmang to prepare for war against the Empire, but at the earnest request of Cheon Yu-seong, he sacrificed ''Core'' and came out of the tower. We''ll play the role of bait. In the meantime, Master, let him stop breathing. Oh my. Does the Confucius of Heaven make a slender woman sharpen a sword? Against such a ferocious and large demonic beast? Choo Hon Sa-yeong was terribly surprised and screamed. It''s a bonus to have an innocent face with both eyes wide open. What the hell is that tone of voice...! And since when did Master say that he was weak... I''m too picky to ask for help. Now, follow me. ''Help me, beautiful and strong Master... '' Like this. Are you serious? Come on. Or maybe two people will have to face that beast? Mr. Cheon Yu-seong! He''s coming! I know. Damn it. Cheon Yu-seong broke his molar and bit it. His face was dyed red from shame, but he couldn''t afford to come back and think about it. Please, do... help me. Beautiful and strong swordsman. "Fufu. A cute disciple asks me, so as a teacher, of course I have to help." Chuhon Sa-young grabbed Cheon Yu-seong''s cheek with both hands. The solemn appearance at first is gone. All that remains is the figure of a master who has completely fallen in love with a student. Sreung! Chuhonsayeong drew a sword as white as snow. "You must not have forgotten what you taught me? Even if you don''t know anything else, it is unacceptable to say that you are pushed by the disciple of the dark emperor." [The unique ability ''Song of the Sword'' is activated!] Chuhonsayoung has unlocked her unique ability. You don''t have to worry about that part. When this is over, even that guy will jump over you. Subsequently, Cheon Yu-seong also unleashed his unique ability. [The unique ability ''Song of the Sword'' is activated!] Indescribable energy resided in the sword of Cheon Yuseong and Chuhonsayeong. The pure light that flowed through the sword soared for more than one. I will definitely block the first strike. Theresa stretched her shield forward. [The unique ability ''Star Blessing'' is activated!] like that. The saint who saved Amsterdam moved once more to save Europe. same time. The scene was completely changed by the black goat where Andria was on the 5th floor. Zhang Dou Qi disappeared, the mine collapsed, and the psychiatric ward was also destroyed. However, it was not all over. Ha... ha ha... ha ha. Andria took a deep breath. The bosses in the rest of the area have already died or escaped. Andria was the only one left alone to guard her territory. "Not yet not yet." Andria bit her lip. This is the precious home left by Jinhyuk. It is a place that gave meaning to life to oneself who was at the bottom. ''Even if I die, I will protect you.'' Even if he fell while fighting, he had no intention of escaping. [Andrea used ''Fox Bead''!] A flame containing the fox''s soul burned fiercely over the nine tails. Tuk... tuk. fault! Andria, who was moving at high speed leaving a remnant, arrived at the feet of the black goat. The flames moved in nine directions and came to a single point. Whoops! The blue scare engulfed the entire black goat''s body in an instant. However. ''At all... No response.'' The scares were only slightly scorching the skin. Oh... As if meeting a troublesome fly, the black goat opened its mouth and formed a sphere. crushing wave. The light that tore apart a lot of people was shot towards Andria. right then I struggled to block it alone. A new voice broke in. A handsome man with dark silver hair blocked the crushing wave with his bare body. The face was slightly distorted, but the ugliness emanating from the body became sharper. You''re very strong on the topic of Intent Body. It''s like a nightmare from the past. This is one of the noble Demon Kings of the demon world. It is a manifestation of Beliel, who has the nickname of a rotting heart. Still, it''s absurd to expose your teeth to me at your level. A dark red spear appeared from Beliel''s fingertips. Foul! Pants! sparks rose. And at that very moment. Tell Shubniguras. I am on this floor. The window disappeared without preliminary action. with the sound of ripping the air. It caused five sonic booms. Aww! Wow! The black goat''s feet fell off the ground after being speared in the chest. It was because even that huge body could not withstand the absurd shock. But the shocking thing has only just begun. Whoops! Whoops! The spear rotated again and again, releasing mana more powerful than the first. Runes with curses and spells were simultaneously encroaching around the spear. Ugh... oh oh oh oh! The black goat''s jaw was split open as if torn. Boo woo woo... . Aww! The sight of the body flying to the cliff on the other side was grotesque, and there was nothing more to say. The pounding Queen hid in the sand, leaving a brief gap in the battle. ''It seems that the exterior contrast is roughly done with this.'' Jinhyuk nodded his head as if satisfied. The worst situation could be overcome thanks to the proper placement of trusted colleagues. The gate that appeared on the Moorim side was also accompanied by Master, Sweet Potato, and ancient soldiers including T-bone... . It would be enough to take the time. ''The situation outside... .'' [Outbreak ''The Beginning of the Nightmare''. Is everything over like this?] [Even the large guilds stand by helplessly] [Black Tuesday. Convening an emergency meeting of leaders of each country] Headlights of various articles were dominating the media and the Internet. great. The atmosphere was very well-rounded. humanity in crisis.

It''s being watched all over the world right now. -Amhwang: Disciple, do you know the word excommunication of our school? -Andrea: Jinhyuk... Silly. -Beriel: Whoa.

No, the whole tower is a disgrace. -T-Bone Ancient Soldier: Master. get out and follow Complaints were pouring in from all over the place. Of course, in the one-party dictatorship, it is customary to lightly trample on minor complaints. Everyone''s eyes are gathered like this, so of course we have to promote it. What do I do business with? The creation of additional revenue through the guild''s publicity effect and the rise of the brand image had invaluable value in money. -Cheon Yoosung: Hey, hey... If you want to promote like that, wouldn''t you just come out and promote yourself? I still have work to do, so it''s unreasonable. Jinhyuk resolutely drew the line. More important work remains than dealing with the queen. There is a place you must go through the ''mirror that breaks down boundaries''. To be precise, it was the purpose of the reward to be obtained there. Isn''t it time you yelled at me more than anything else? That the maid video is in the palm of your hand. I hope you haven''t already forgotten, have you? Mistakes can lead to dropping out of life rather than dropping out of medical school. -Cheon Yoosung: You... If you keep threatening me with that, I won''t stand still. do you know That''s a crime! - Chuhonsayeong: Oh my. Do you have an object with a video of the disciple in it? I really want to see that. -Cheon Yoosung: Su, Master... ? Your master seems to be on my side too, what should I do? at last. In an oppressive atmosphere... A video has begun to be made that will be permanently stuffed in the Tower of Trials community and Viewtube. Wow, if you''re curious about who we are, it''s natural to answer... Unknown No, Elise opened her mouth. The point is to place one hand on your waist and the other hand with only your index finger out in front of you. The deceased... the deceased... hooo... in the name of the deceased. Cheon Yu-seong took over the words in a voice that seemed to swallow molten iron. From now on, these guys. The rest of the people spit out their own sentences one by one. like that. We will deal with it. Everyone''s voices merged into one. CH 295 . lost language (1) The wife of a man whose name should not be said. The black goddess of fertility. The black goat that gave birth to madness. One of the most powerful gods in the Cthulhu myth is that many modifiers adorn it. It''s ''Shub Niguras''. " " Branches with numerous teeth pointed beyond the tower. over billions of years. She floats the 50th floor of the tower, watching the rise and fall of each floor. Numerous forces have climbed the tower. went through the process of extinction. But. Hundreds and thousands of strong people and the absolutes beyond them. And even those who possess the ''crown''. Not everyone lived up to expectations. It was boring. lacked So, this time, I was planning to go down the tower lightly to relieve the boredom that was stuck to my bones. Yes. In other words, this is entertainment. A transcendent being trampled upon the creatures below. By the way. " " The signal was cut off one by one of the Intent Bodies sent immediately after the gate was partially liberated. Hopefully, there will be someone down there who can stand up to the Black Goat. I didn''t even think that there would be such a talented person among the guys outside the tower. Keter de Kasbaya. Non-verbal language came out of his mouth. OK. "Ugh that that " Hasting, standing next to him, shook his head with a face full of pain. The world is about to be twisted just by showing a little discomfort. Doom! Arbaya Kkimasha. "Kang Jinhyuk. Ma, that''s right. That guy that human is the one who is trying to get up to the top of the tower by sabotaging the great One''s plans." Jinhyuk Kang. I heard from Hasting the name of the person behind this incident. hard! Close! As the teeth opened and closed repeatedly, a creepy voice resounded. '' Are you going to stop me?'' That''s true... . It''s gonna be fun. It''s been so long since I''ve felt that it''s interesting. Then let''s have a little more fun. For this work, the vampire families and the Heavenly Demon Protestantism''s Left Beop Samaja also put a line on the line. You will still need more time until you are freed. Kaidro Pe Maybach. Gee, now? Payract Sodralactus. "Yeah, I see I''ll tell everyone that." Shub Niguras gave a brief order. to start the middle class war. Inside the barrier where the sanctuary of the sun was activated. The queen, who had been hiding in the sand and running away, did not understand the current situation. ''I''m hiding so deep, how the hell do you find my exact location?'' It was moving at high speed in the sand at a whopping 10m below, but somehow, the opponent was chasing after it. Puffy! There is a wind hole in the sand. The precision of the shooting became sharper. have to run away further. Deeper. If you somehow manage the time and tie your opponent''s feet, everything he treasures will crumble. But right then. [Lv14 ''Glacier Formation'' is activated!] damn! Rapidly freezing sand. The movement of the queen, who was navigating through the sand, noticeably slowed down. "I just got it." The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. As expected, the Queen chose to escape rather than fight. ''It''s not a job to figure out the location through the heavenly desire.'' The tiny vibrations of the sand could predict where it was headed next. And if both conditions are met, it is also not difficult to block movement through glacial modeling. Because even the queen cannot move easily in the cold, frozen sand. [Unique ability ''Swarm''s Core''] [Acquisition Difficulty: S] [Copy Conditions: The Queen who leads the colony is always escorted by countless children. If she can stop breathing while giving her ''solitude'', she will be able to copy one of her unique abilities and skills.] ''The Core of the Legion'' is a special ability that only a few of the boss monsters in the colony possess. Not only does it increase the stats of minions that have been contracted by 10%, but it also has a deceptive trait that can keep the contract with half the mana. After that, if you think that you will use not only undead production, but also spirit beasts and other summoned beasts, mana optimization was one of the problems that must be solved. ''There is a lot to gain here.'' Sanctuary of the Sun recreating the desert, leaving the Queen to run away and pushing her into more and more dead-end corners. All of them were to acquire unique abilities through the conditions of radiation. ''Now is the time to finish.'' Jinhyuk pulled out all the remaining mana. There''s no reason to save mana anymore since you''ve reached the end. uuung! The two guns were lit with different lights. Bullets reinforced through ''Daylight'' opened the way first. Shortly thereafter, a bullet reinforced with ''Hyeolmagi'' struck the queen''s back. kwaang! Aww! Critical hits, but doesn''t die in one hit. The outer skin was cracked, but the fierce resistance was still there. Still, being the ruler of a class doesn''t mean it''s not easy to beat. But no matter how much you run, the result doesn''t change. The pain will only last longer. kwaang! Puppupuck! kwaaang! The colorful light blew like a storm. Ugh... uh... As the attack intensified, the screams gradually subsided. And at that very moment. T-tiring! A number of status windows appeared with dazzling flashes. [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level is .] [ ] It''s up!] [You succeeded in copying the unique ability ''Swarm''s Core''!] [The copied ability is stored in ''Memory of the World''.] [You have obtained the ''Inky Blade (Yellow Grade - Material Type)''!] If you add up the climb by holding Mrsielio, the 7th level has risen. In addition, material-type items used to strengthen sword-like weapons were also dropped. It has a whopping yellow rating. ''This It''s totally awesome?'' Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva. I didn''t expect much from this class to be honest, because the rewards weren''t cool for catching Mr. Instead, the best of the items that could come from the Queen fell. The sharpest and hardest part of the skin. It also came out in a form that could be used for other necessary items as a material, not weaponized. ''It can be used on fangs or double dragon swords... It would be nice to use it on the Taesan sword I got from Yacha.'' The use cases were endless. great. next . Jinhyuk activated the personal status window this time.

Suddenly, I reached level 115. Even if the situation hadn''t been urgent, I would have been deeply moved... . Jinhyuk, who had a smile on his face, quickly shook his head. Now, it''s a luxury to even have time to think about it. ''Since I got the corps'' core, I can put the mana stats on hold for a while.'' [Agility increases from 47 to 58.] [Health increases from 57 to 67.] We invested evenly in agility and stamina. Now I have to take care of the balance as well. right then [[''Conquer the 16th floor in 24 hours''] You passed the exam!] [A gift from Senior Manager ''Bendivia'' has arrived.] [Soul Stone of Longing] [When using a unique ability, skill, or similar ability. Allows you to exert an effect that exceeds the target''s potential.] Finally, the last card to be obtained here, the ''Soul Stone of Longing'', was secured. ''It''ll be fine to leave it to the Titan Guild for a minor post-processing.'' The queen''s death will leave the rest of the worms out of control. That''s about it, rankers like Aidan and Meiling will be able to deal with it. If three S-class people can''t solve the mass-produced bugs, they''ll bite their tongues and die. Now there is only one left. Jinhyeok took out the reward obtained by dealing with one of the Jinjos, Amulam, in the subspace inventory. Picture in the frame ''Where silence permeates'' A place where 12 black pillars stand tall. Learn a lost language... . Reproduce the ancient barrier. This was the only way for mankind to survive from Shub Niguras. [I used ''mirror that breaks down boundaries''.] huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A green gate appeared in front of Jinhyuk. A door that allows the floor to move freely. The place to go was already decided. The 30th floor. I''ll go to the constellation hill. Numerous stars in the night sky. This place, with its immeasurable mystery and beauty, was the only peaceful place on the bloody 30th floor. meteor showers fall As I watched it, my heart was pounding for some reason. jerk. Jinhyuk started walking upwards along the familiar path. Twelve black pillars towering over a vast meadow. It was a place I had been to before, but I didn''t know if this was a place where I could learn a lost language. I thought it was just a place with a beautiful view. However, thanks to the picture obtained from Amulam, he was able to discover the true meaning hidden in this place. Jinhyuk carefully scanned the picture in the frame. Obviously, the pillars in the picture had different types of runes engraved in the center of each. However, the runes did not appear on the actual pillar. To be precise, there were faint traces of it, but much of it was damaged. ''I meant to restore this.'' It is a task that requires a very high level of difficulty. Instead of restoring the runes engraved on the pillars themselves, we had to complete a synthesizing ceremony that encompasses all 12 runes. Of course, you shouldn''t make mistakes. Calmly. calmly. You have to do sophisticated work. The mana on the tip of his finger moved along the air. With the first runes above the sky, barriers began to form. [The 3-star barrier ''mana synchronization'' is activated!] [Activate the 4-star barrier ''Restore Memory''!] [Activates the 6-star barrier ''Primal substitution''!] Pants Chun! Along the surface of the pillar, blue runes appeared. By the way. When we rearranged mana through the barrier, something incredible happened. May this be... . Oh. Jinhyuk let out an exclamation with a complex meaning. CH 296 . lost language (2) [The language of the pillar is revealed.] Languages that did not belong to this world were also engraved in the characters representing the lost language. pounding! pounding! pounding! Jinhyuk''s heart was beating like crazy. When I climbed the Tower of Trials in the past, I couldn''t figure out as much information as I could about the lost language. Only now did I know what this language meant. [De Ferrerium Horn Macaden Macia] The language of the Cthulhu divinities. And. This means only one thing. If you perfectly master a lost language... . It means that you can use up to the power of the 50th floor. Furthermore. Among the lost languages were other characters inscribed in addition to those used by the Cthulhus. This was a kind of unknown meaning even though the pillar was liberated. ''Is there still something more?'' Sae Young-eun-hwan said that the 50th floor would have been completely changed, but it seems that something bigger is lurking there. ''It''s fun.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. This is why I can''t stop climbing the tower. No matter how dangerous and desperate the situation is, there are streets that can stimulate the peripheral nerves continuously. ''How can this be ductile in this way... hoo. Is this surprising? This part I don''t know what The real waves are endless.'' Jinhyuk caught all the runes in his eyes. However, it was impossible to acquire a new language simply by memorizing it. This is because it was a language to create a barrier, not a language for communication. In the end, in order to see what is not seen as a Rune Interpreter, the first job of Barrier... . ''I guess I''ll have to rise to a level worthy of it too.'' Former Quest. All of this was to accomplish this Quest. Mana was concentrated on Jinhyuk''s fingertips. The runes were remade on the 12 pillars, and a rune word meaning ''the end'' appeared. Pants! The broken mana continued into one. Then at that very moment. [The conditions for learning the lost barrier have been met.] [The second job change exam begins.] A status window appeared as if waiting. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Starlight poured from the sky with a bright light. It''s a start. jerk. It was then that I heard footsteps. A black-haired man in a white robe appeared in the starlight. Even if you don''t tell me who you are, you already know. Beltor de Roanmask. He is from an ancient kingdom that is thousands of years older than the current empire and is a geek who majored in barrier arts while he was alive. At the same time, it was also a legend that had reached a level that no one had ever been to in terms of barrier technique. ''Was the second ex-Quest dealing with this man?'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. Beltor had long since died. That figure now is a reflection of the past. Of course, the existence itself was a lie, but the ability alone was not a lie. Because this area has already been swallowed up within the author''s barrier. ''I don''t think it''s an exaggeration to say that it''s the strongest ever.'' The ''Eyes of Gluttony'' quickly scanned the opponent''s status window. T-tiring! Name: Beltor de Roanmask Gender: Male Age: ??? Level: 294 Strength 43 Dexterity 55 Stamina 36 mana 36 Understanding Runes 519 Stat Points you have: 0 Occupation: Ruler of the Runes Unique Ability: Ancient barrier skill: ''Language Deciphering'' Lv35, ''Rune Language'' Lv33, ''Blink'' Lv33, ''mana absorption'' Lv31, ''High-speed operation'' Lv31, [Copy condition: If you pass the 2nd job change test, you will be able to copy one of his unique abilities and skills.] I knew it. The radiation conditions are also related to the test. You can acquire unique abilities and skills through job change, so this is an opportunity for both. This should succeed no matter what. But that was then. Hey. It''s not enough for a certain idiot to choose Barrier, so he wants to change his job to the second job. Beltor scratched his head with a look of astonishment. I didn''t expect a serious tone, but at least I thought I would have some pride in my job as a person who excelled in one field. What is this reaction? However, even without Jinhyeok feeling embarrassed, Veltor continued to ask the question again. Why? Yes? No, why do you choose such a garbage job and go through a hard road? It''s terribly difficult and difficult, isn''t it? Besides, this also has no results compared to the effort. It''s not too late now, so give up the job change test and find another job. You can change it before the second job change. There was a lot of piled up, so complaints and complaints erupted like rapid-fire guns. Barrier''s job is not unpopular for nothing. The return on investment was close to the worst, so it would be a natural thing to say. However. Even if I didn''t train in this field for a long time like you did... it wasn''t bad. Being able to create my own world through barriers was quite attractive. These words are sincere. At first, I chose it just because I could have fun and personality. As time went on, this job became so precious to me. I thought that we would like to continue working together in the future. I also had a goal to reach a higher level. It''s a different kind of thing. Even if you give me advice, you won''t listen. I''ll listen to it as a compliment from the president. Uhhh... what''s good? In the end, Beltor shrugged as if resigning. You said you wanted to change jobs? The test is very simple. Use all the barrier skills you''ve learned so far to lock me in. If you can tie my feet up for even one second, I''ll give you a passing grade. "Only as a barrier you mean?" Of course, I will only use the basic method of destruction. This is a test to see if your level can pass to the next level, so don''t worry too much. A skilled person can pass in about three months. Um. 3 months seems unreasonable. I''m a bit busy. Jinhyuk''s eyes turned to one side. down the hill. The mirror that breaks down boundaries is shaking violently as if it would close at any moment. Because of my growth, I didn''t have a time limit of 30 minutes like when I first got this, but... . The lack of time has not changed. How long do you have left? Three hours. " not three months, but three hours?" No more, no less, just that much left. Now it''s 2 hours 59 minutes 30 seconds. " " Beltor looked at Jinhyuk with a surprised face. I''m an idiot who expected it. Just go. It would be difficult to do quadruple arithmetic at the level of the 1st job change, but it''s hard to pass my exam... But Veltor was not able to finish his speech. White runes began to float around the body. 3 of Quadruple and beyond that, the five-layer barriers are perfectly equipped. If it''s a quadruple operation... what, something like this? Hey... A strange exclamation flowed from Beltor''s mouth. Uh-huh... Alice let out a long, long sigh. His white hair, as white as snow, is damaged in several places. Even the mask he was wearing was shattered due to the fierce battle. Of course, as Elise had raised her strength so much, her opponent was also not perfect. Ugh... ahhh... His whole body was pierced with a red harpoon, making him doubt that he was alive. By the way. Even after such a horrific feat, the guy did not give up on the fight. uuung! [''Intent Body''s Axe'' is summoned.] An ignorantly large ax appeared. It was a weapon that looked unusual at first glance, with a red thread running through the black hilt. It''s really tough. It''s moving even after doing that? Elise frowned. With the ''Blood Road'' fully open, it will still move even if it hits an attack properly. If one Intent Body was like this, I couldn''t even imagine how strong Shub Nigurus would be. ''How are you going to deal with such a monster... .'' I never knew what Jinhyuk was thinking. But, why? I didn''t feel the slightest bit of anxiety. I don''t know why. just From the day the first contract was signed in the corridor. Until today. I never had any doubts. that there is no way that the contractor will disappoint his expectations. I can''t even linger in a place like this. Pants! A new harpoon appeared in Elise''s hand. [''Crimson Blood Bird'' is summoned!] A harpoon made after the name of the blood-eating hyeolsaaehwa. A splendidly decorated relic was revealed. With a rather stiff expression on her face, Elise tilted her harpoon over her shoulder. ''I didn''t want to write this in the middle of the city if possible... .'' People in the underground parking lot had already evacuated, but there was a fear that other people who were hiding might be involved. Even if it wasn''t, part of the city might disappear because it could cause so much ripple. However, it can not be helped There was no sign of defeating that monster if we went like this. ''The only choice is to suppress the power as much as possible and reduce the power to one point.'' I swear . I wondered if there were tendons growing on Alice''s white forehead. The red pupil constricted for a moment. Oooh! The black goat raised its ax high into the sky. In line with it. Paaang! A single red flash of light crossed the air with a roar that ripped the air. KwaKwaKwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa! A gust of wind caused by the wind pressure shattered all the windows of the buildings. Street lamps and trees were bent like nuts. The javelin of unimaginable power pierced the heart of the black goat and disappeared into the sky on the other side. A short silence flows. in the intersecting gaze. The silence that seemed like eternity finally came to an end. Ooooh...? The black goat''s body shook violently. The wind hole was somehow repaired, but the wound worsened rather quickly. [The special ability of Crimson Blood is activated.] [You cannot heal wounds unless you have a divine-type ability or an absolute judgment healing ability.] The blood that spurted out with a groan stained the road black. It''s really an ugly creature. From its very existence to the moment it collapses, there''s nothing to like. Alice looked up at the black goat with cold eyes. That''s it. The black goat''s gigantic body was passed over as it was. Oh oh oh... The road was shattered, and the breath of the large beast that had been exhaling a while ago was cut off. ended with this No, I thought it was over. Actually, the head of Ataraxia... No. It''s like a previous generation head. I thought it was completely obsolete after being sealed, so I guess it''s really rusty? A new voice broke through the building. A woman with long black hair hanging down to her waist approached through the shadows. Pointed fangs and signature red eyes. no doubt A vampire, Jinjo is also praised as the strongest bloodline. you. An earthquake occurred in Alice''s pupil. Such emotions exploded, where intense anger and the joy of being able to take revenge on the target coexisted beyond that. CH 297 . More important than pride (1) The only vampire lord with dark hair. Abigail von Levisita. That was the word referring to the head of the Levisita family in front of him. puffy... . Alice bit her teeth to break them. If you showed that face in front of me, would that mean that you were ready to die? Both eyes gleamed with life, and the redness of the face became as thick as blood. Hoohoo. It''s been a while since I''ve seen your sister''s face, but it''s okay if you speak harshly like that. It''s so nice to see you after a long time. I. Fuck that bullshit...! In the pit of hell, I thought about every single day. Only the day I would kill you all! kukukuku! Red drops of blood floated around Alice''s body. [''Vladimir''s Harpoon'' is activated!] Harpoons made of blood and numerous skewers filled the air. A completely different kind of ferocious energy spread from fighting a black goat. I''m in favor of fighting, but why don''t you listen to my story first? It must be an interesting topic, right? I do not need. Elise snapped her fingers. The harpoons in the sky all turned towards Abigail in unison. If the order is given, the tragedy of Romania will be repeated immediately. However. In the next words... . Your contractor who entered the strange-looking gate. If you continue like this, you will lose your life. what? Alice''s body flinched for the first time. If it''s a strange gate, sure... This is the ''mirror that breaks down boundaries'', which Jinhyuk said before leaving. And knowing that means that what Abigail is saying now is not just a lie. Even if I didn''t know anything else, if it was related to Jinhyuk, I couldn''t get over it easily. The harpoon''s momentum had softened. Say. According to the report, your contractor has many other summons besides you. Ancient species, spirit beasts, as well as undead monsters... there are a lot of them. If everyone fights with all their might, it will be really difficult. Having said this, Elise also realized what Abigail was talking about. A fatal weakness in having to rely on one individual''s supply of mana. mana overload... you must be...! That''s right. I''ve been fighting at the right level so far, so I wouldn''t have gone to a dangerous situation. Well, considering the personality of your contractor, it seems that even that was calculated. But. Can it still be? The Heavenly Demon Protestant Samazawa, the vampire family, and the Intent Bodies on the 50th floor. The power was so excessive that it overflowed. If they focus all their power on the summoned beasts, no matter how efficiently Jinhyuk distributes mana and everyone avoids excessive fighting... . Eventually, you will have to hit the limit. Besides, Axencion went directly to your contractor''s side. If it were you and no one else, you would know how strong that man is. Abigail laughed softly. A new leader who leads Ataraxia. Excension of Ataraxia. It is rated as the strongest among the current heads of state, and Elise was also confined to the corridor because of the monster''s abilities. ''no matter how It''s unreasonable to even call it a contractor.'' I wish I had prepared a plan this meticulously. If even a surprise attack is allowed against a formidable Gaju even with a 1:1 ratio... The risk is too high. '' You can never lose I will never let you die.'' Revenge was important, but nothing more important than the life of a loved one. In the end, Elise shook her head helplessly. what do you want? Fufu. It''s good that the story is fast. The conditions are very simple. Seal your own holy spear by placing a ban on yourself. A unique... a holy lance? Yes. Revelation of Gaebyeok. That ability is really annoying to deal with. In the battle between the heads of state, the unique holy spear is the lifeline. It is a deadly means of killing each other. Giving up on that... It meant the same thing as asking for death soon. "If you do that are you going to guarantee the life of the contractor?" Of course. Because our only purpose is you after all. Blood and blood promises will be guaranteed by the clan''s sorcery. His own life and Jinhyuk''s life. If there''s only one choice... . ...Okay. I''ll do that. Elise nodded her head. Then at that very moment. uuung! A reaper wearing a black robe appeared around the two vampires. On one side of the scale is Alice''s red soul. On the other side, Abigail''s dark soul was located. [Blood prohibition has been established.] [Ellis von Ataraxia''s unique holy spear will be sealed for 24 hours from now. Instead, the vampire owners, including Abigail von Levisita, immediately stop attacking player Jin-hyeok Kang and cannot threaten the target''s life unless they receive a preemptive attack.] An oath made in blood will be kept by life. '' This is it.'' Alice smiled faintly. At the same time. sush... . In the shadows, dozens of vampires began to rise. Red eyes shone from all directions. Each of the blood relatives belonging to the Levisita family drew out their weapons with their fishy smiles on them. Kick Kick! It''s a squadron head hunt. This is an honor. I''ll tear you apart to death. "I am finally able to repay the humiliation of the previous day." Rapiers, daggers, and blood-based magic gathered in one place. I thought, I''d really risk my life for just one human. Who would have expected that the world''s Alice would do such a stupid thing? Abigail also drew out a scythe that was over her height. The scythe with its huge pupils in it vibrated slightly. ''Scythe of the Wraith Tree''. ''Absolute judgment'' The sickle with the effect is Abigail''s weapon and at the same time a ''unique holy lance'' It was itself. Unless you have the same unique holy spear or the highest quality relic, it cannot be an opponent. But even with all that in front... . Elise stood upright on the spot. no regrets on the choice Even if there were restrictions, it didn''t mean that we couldn''t fight for our pride. Besides, if you''re going to fall for someone who showed you hope... . That was not a bad ending. Of course, I didn''t mean to treat them the way they wanted me to. [Ellis unleashes her unique ability ''Blood Lord''!] The air changed rapidly. Like burning the last flame before it goes out. Elise began to attract mana. My name is Ellis von Ataraxia... Jinjo, who stood tall, contemplated and despised everything. I am Ataraxia itself, and everything in Ataraxia exists for my sake. Even without a unique holy spear, the unmistakable weight of the Absolute was in his current speech. Come. If any of you are up to the challenge, now is the right time. Elise took a stance. just that nevertheless. " ????!" Ugh. The blood relatives, who had equal momentum, for a moment, unknowingly took a step backwards. A nightmare from the past stimulates forgotten memories. The terrible trauma that the vampires of a great family were swept away by one Jinjo. at that time. Scratch! The vampire''s head at the back flew away. Blood dripped from the sickle that was crossed horizontally. I don''t need a coward in my clan. If you run away, you will only die. Abigail sighed coldly. As long as the unique holy spear is sealed, no matter how much Elise is, she''s just a tiger with missing teeth. It''s capable of hunting enough, so encircle it and kill it. Did everyone understand? Oh, I see. Yes. I was fooled by that intimidation. Kill it! Aww! Blood relatives jumped in unison. '' never come here Because it''s a trap.'' Elise muttered the first and last short mumble. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo White runes appeared above Beltor''s head. It is a multi-surgical formula consisting of 7 layers ''Oh my God... .'' Beltor swallowed dry saliva. At first, I thought it was just an insane nerd. Because the barrier job was a path chosen only by geeks and idiots. Besides, when I said I had to change jobs within 3 hours. Even a little bit of hope was completely thrown away. By the way. How... . Kukk... hahahaha! This is a complete goal-scoring guy. Beltor couldn''t stand it and went mad. It was only during his lifetime that even the chief disciple made full use of the fragments of the six barriers. After death, you will also see players outside the tower use the 7-layer barrier. This was nothing but laughter. It''s still a long way off. Jinhyuk used another skill. The appearance of the area began to change due to ''battlefield selection''. A completely changed landscape. this is the library To be precise, it was the place where Beltor learned the barrier technique in the past. Through the open ceiling, a pitch-black night sky and brighter stars could be seen. As it shows the beginning and the end of barrier. Oh . A sigh mixed with complex emotions escaped from Veltor''s mouth. finally. [All stats are increased by 5% due to the trait effect of ''Blessing of the Stars''!] All abilities exploded in an instant. Pants... ! The barriers that have been activated so far are merged into one, and a confrontation system has been established. It was far from perfect as it was self-taught, but it succeeded in having a plausible form. [The 11-star showdown ''Swamp of Twilight'' is activated!] In the flowing golden waves. Beltor didn''t move, as if nailed to the spot. Instead, he quietly let out the emotions he had inside. You... you''re a funny guy. That must have been a compliment on its own. Thank you for saying that, but didn''t you say that you were going to destroy the barrier I made in the first place? Damn it. How do you break through this with a simple sabotage method? Of course, the test passed. Unless you pass a talented person like you, no one among Barrier can change jobs to the second job. If you want to destroy the 11-star confrontation world, no matter how much Veltor is, you will have to show off your skills. In other words. The exam is over. Wait, wait a minute. Where do you want to go in a hurry? Don''t you know that a stone your size needs to be polished with a lot of time and effort to show its real value? Oh, of course, I also know that the situation outside is not a joke. That''s what I''m saying. Wouldn''t it be better to practice here step by step than to go out for nothing and die here? If it were you, I would use the newly developed dimensional barrier...! It seems that the grown-up, who was full of complaints, went everywhere and there was a very excited and excited child. Yes. I actually knew He continued to deny that this man loved the field of barrier art more than anyone else. Because he was more attached to him than anyone else, he deserved to be hated and hated. Unfortunately, I think the offer should be turned down. Elise, Cheon Yooseong, Theresa, Wolyeong, and Master... . Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min''s Sweet Potato and other guilds around the world and everyone else. for mankind. fighting to survive The external appearance was transmitted through the status window. - Hold on! a little bit little bit more! - He will definitely come. Don''t give up and fight back! - The Samurai Guild has also landed in Korea. I''ll join you right away. even at this moment. Giving up my life, waiting for me to come. The place I have to go is decided. Once you have achieved your goal, you must return to it. It was short, but I was grateful. Thanks to I think I will be able to have more attachment to this job. Jinhyuk smiled and said goodbye for the last time. [You have acquired a lost language.] [Barrier''s 2nd job change has been completed.] [The role is changed from the one who interprets the runes to the one who creates the runes.] Follow your steps... . The first hieroglyphs appeared. Those who explore the lost language and create the world. Hey, why can''t you always get what you want the most? Beltor ruffled his hair roughly as if it were a pity. But unlike the words, there was a satisfied smile on his lips. Give me a shot. Young barrier. CH 298 . More important than pride (2) Ha... ha ha... ha ha. Irregular bursts of breathing. His trembling fingers were already telling him that all his stamina and mana had been exhausted. Elise struggled to lift the last remaining harpoon. chimerical . It''s really boring power. Damn it. Is that going to die? I''m afraid that less than twenty have survived... The Levisita clan shook their head as if they were tired of it. There were already over 300 of the clan that had been recruited in the shadows. Since the descendants of the people who came out died, they continued to climb over and over, and eventually they reached this number. But now, there are only about 20 people standing still. Even that is enough because of the addition of the Abigail family. If I had just watched with my arms crossed from behind, I would have been annihilated. When I saw Amulam, I thought it was stupid... but now that I look at it, I think it''s good enough. Abigail let out a small sigh. As long as the unique spear was sealed, I thought it was a tiger that lost its wings... . It seems that they were the ones who were still looking at them funny. But. The long and long battle is now in sight. Now there is really only one step left. You were really amazing. It''s no exaggeration to say that you''re the strongest head of all time. [The unique Holy Spear ''Scythe of the Wraith Tree'' awakens.] Kie hey hey! The huge pupils in the scythe began to howl fiercely. A deafening roar echoed throughout the city, even without a mouth. Whirick! It was then that Abigail''s body became smoke and disappeared. Space movement closer to the Blink. Abigail, who grabbed Elise''s back in an instant, raised her scythe high. fast. Elise reflexively swung her harpoon. Of course, offsetting is unreasonable... At least if it twists the trajectory. kwaduk! The harpoon was split in one blow. As if he had forgotten the trait of a long weapon, Abigail handled the scythe with absurd speed. aaah! Red blood gushed out of Alice''s body. Like a unique holy spear with extreme cutting power, a harpoon made with ''Blood Rod'' is not an opponent at all. Alice managed to calm her trembling legs. have to move You have to keep moving, but you can survive even a little longer. Now come and run away...? No, are you trying to buy time? Whoops. Really, you only choose stupid things until the very end. The corners of Abigail''s lips rose upwards. As long as he showed his back, this solidified his victory. It is said that a wounded beast is the most dangerous, but that is when you have the strength to fight back. A completely exhausted beast struggles ugly and is only dragged down from the throne. Scratch! Cheek! Every time the sickle moved, red blood flowed out. Clothes that have become rags are no longer called clothes. Ah... ha ha ha ha ha... Alice''s breathing became more harsh. His blurred vision and his non-verbal legs were forced to move. However, the body, which had lost its sense of direction, only staggered. Why. Are you giving up already? Run away a little bit more. Try struggling to survive like a bug! Abigail''s ridicule continued. But why? No anger was felt. ''Than you think He must have been more resigned.'' I never dreamed that I would face the end so calmly. Just, if there''s one thing missing... . finally. I wanted to see the contractor''s face just one more time. If that was the only regret, it was regret. dump . Alice''s knees touched the ground. at Las! Kill him! The enemy of the compatriots! The shame of the clan! Wow! A fierce cheer erupted. Like beating a defeated gladiator at the Colosseum. The spectators watching were thirsting for blood. Don''t worry too much. I''ll cut your hair without even feeling the pain. Abigail held the scythe to Elise''s neck. A cool feeling ran down the back of her neck and caressed her cheeks. This short journey has come to an end. " " Alice quietly closed her eyes. Boo-woong! Scythe... I heard the sound of crossing over. But right then. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A strange gate appeared in front of everyone. At the same time, runes in the form they saw for the first time wrapped around Elise. Kaaan! The scythe was blocked. Time froze. fault ! Abigail opened the distance in less than a second. ''My scythe... A barrier that can be stopped?'' It''s ridiculous. There is no such thing as However, even when faced with the reality that was unfolding before his eyes, he couldn''t help but deny it forever. right then huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The greenish surface trembled. The gate decorated with the runes that he saw for the first time was completely liberated, and a man in a black long coat appeared. A plain sword in one hand. And in the other hand was a silver pistol. It was Jinhyuk. ...!? Alice slowly shook her head. Life seeped into the pupil, where the light had been dimmed. You... you shouldn''t come here... It''s dangerous... Why the hell. Why are you here? Why are you here! With a certain heart, I gave up on life and bent my faith. I gave up everything to save you. why. why. That person is here! your voice trembles The emotions that had been suppressed more intensely than that were fluctuating. But on the other hand, I was very grateful that Jinhyuk came here at this moment. Jinhyuk silently took off his coat and put it on Alice''s shoulder. Then he got up slowly and headed forward. jerk. footsteps... cold. Even the sound of walking was so quiet. Did you make our little vampire cry? ask Who is the culprit behind this? Abigail smiled as their eyes met. Then what will you do? You must die. ???????????? . The blade of the plain sword was elongated. shudder! Bullets with runes engraved on them were placed in the magazine. What a cheeky human being. Who are you teasing in front of right now! Go Joo. I''ll cut this guy down! One of the blood relatives who heard the rapier flew away. fast and accurate The skill of digging into the square and stabbing the sword was also perfect. It''s over! However. Puppupuck! The bodies of the blood relatives who smiled of conversion were divided as they were. It happened so quickly that there was no time to react. chwachwachwa . The plain sword splattered blood on the road. You are next. You mean me, a mere human, the head of the household? If you are discriminating by using a slightly special barrier, you are making a big mistake. You''re just overestimating yourself on the subject of California. If it wasn''t for you... I wouldn''t have come here in the first place. That word. I look forward to seeing if I can spit out the same thing when I die. Abigail tilted her head to the side. Then the rest of the clan prepared to move as if waiting. Have you lost your fear? The fact that humans are interfering in the fight of the blood relatives. Totally crazy. He knows how to use a little black. It''s okay. Yes, at least one. Even if there are three together, you can stop them from swinging that strange sword. I''ll let you know that there''s a level difference, kid. Against Ellis, the clan, who could not move, confidently stepped forward. Before he knew it, there were even gray wolves the size of a bull next to the vampires. It is ''Pathod Wolf'', one of the familiars of the clan. Due to their ferocious nature, they were very difficult to tame, but once the reins were released, they had the tenacity to not give up until the enemy''s breath stopped. Kurre... Kong! Kung! Kung! Levisita clan and a huge number of Pathod Wolf. Everyone showed their fangs to kill Jinhyuk. That''s funny. It''s just that people change their attitudes just because they''re human. I don''t have time to deal with you all. Above all, there was no need. Come out. At Jinhyuk''s call, the ''string of faith'' was activated. A dimensional gap that extends left and right. There. Belus and Ophelia appeared. What the fuck did these bastards do to Ellis! ...this time, the head of Abigail. Really, our headmaster causes only great incidents wherever he goes. There. thud! thud! thud! thud! The sound of new footsteps echoed through the string. after a while. A huge shout followed. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Oooh! Prepare for battle! A ''troll'', an alien species from T.O.P, who met and met in Lake Damsu. Caracal, who led them, greeted Jinhyuk at the forefront. It''s been a while since I''ve seen you so I was a little worried. As a troll hero, it seems that he has grown dazzlingly. It''s because I''ve become stronger than I''ve ever seen before. Of course, no matter how much it was, the quality of each individual could not be compared to the vampires. Instead, vampires had 10 times the number of troops. It''s time to clearly show that there is no business in front of quantity. Human. I came to keep my promise. Tell me what we must do. Caracal rested the long spear on his shoulder. Take care of the junkies. You? I''m going to hit my head. Of these, only one can defeat Abigail. Okay. Let''s follow the orders. Caracal beckoned to the soldiers behind him. Kalam. Prepare to charge in a group of three from the left. We will face each other thoroughly while limiting the mobility of the Pathod Wolf. Okay. Place it right away. The trolls who were in charge of the unit commander-level with the flag as the center moved in unison. Truly the blink of an eye. Formed troops crossed the city center. kwaaang! kwaang! When the monsters equipped with heavy armor swarmed, a huge shock occurred. Aww! Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo A great battle ensued with blood and flesh. Well, what''s going on now...! Abigail made a face that seemed to have lost her soul due to the events that occurred one after another. I knew it would be dangerous if I didn''t respond right away. I had no idea where to start. ''That''s right... I''ll have to tell Axencion first. It''s not too far away, so if you ask for help, he''ll come right away.'' It doesn''t matter how many variables occur. As long as Axencion and Ataraxia''s blood relatives who follow him came, even such a variable could have been suppressed. By the way. "A glance isn''t it time to sell?" Jinhyuk''s voice came from behind. Aww! Aww! Abigail''s body bounced sideways with a heavy impact. Immediately, the sickle of the ghost tree crossed the air dizzyingly. However, Jinhyuk had already spread the distance. Aww! A guy who can''t do anything other than a surprise attack... huh? creepy A cold chill ran down Abigail''s back. It was seen that the runes took shape layer by layer. Goes. A very heterogeneous mana occurred around Jinhyuk''s body. Lost language... . Through the ''ancient barrier'' copied from Veltor. Implement the strongest barrier. [The 11-star barrier ''The Twelve Palaces of the Emperor'' is unfolding!] Starlight from the sky at sunset continued in a single line. The stars and the stars reacted to the new mana, creating a constellation. [December''s ''Sagittarius'' awakens!] CH 299 . More important than pride (3) Sagittarius... . Opening. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A dazzling light flickered in the sky. The ability to reproduce the power of the constellation as it is. The gathered light gradually increased in size. It''s like a giant meteor just before falling to Earth. It won''t be easy to cut with that sickle. A Sagittarius arrow is an over-the-top skill that covers the entire range. Unlike the unique holy spear that is specialized for attack rather than defense... well. It would be the worst in terms of quality. How can a human have this ability... Abigail looked up at the sky and stuttered. The mana delivered to the skin was as good as any other kaju. right at that moment. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! An arrow made of starlight was shot into the ground. A long ray of light hit the place where Abigail was. Aww! The clouds parted, and white flames rose from the ground, It was not a simple concept of piercing with an arrow, but a blow that felt the will to burn the target down to the bone. [Abigail activates Lv38 ''Wailing of the Wraith Tree''!] Kie-ee! A ripping noise echoed from the giant eyeballs in the scythe. range shield. It is also a form of overlapping five. However . no use. damn! The surface of the shield was cracked. The crack widens little by little. Chi profit! The brilliance penetrated into the shield. Aww! A scream of pain escaped Abigail''s mouth. However, even after summoning the zodiac, Abigail did not stop breathing. If that''s true, it was powerful enough to send an Intent Body in one shot. After all, it''s a go-go, right? Burned wounds seem to heal quickly. Vampire''s unique regenerative power is also undeniable. "What is Elise . You are meddling in the affairs of our clan that have nothing to do with you humans! Do you think it''s going to happen? Abigail gasped for breath. what. ...when you say that, it''s definitely a bargain. It is true that the relationship in the corridor was special. However, they were only together for a little over a year. It''s probably not enough time to risk everything for someone else. That''s right? So, if you just pass that kid over, we won''t touch you either. No, rather, our five families could work together to support you. It''s a sweet suggestion, but... . There are some things in the world that simply cannot be calculated by profit and loss. More than anything. Because I''m more precious to one troublesome little girl than to all of you. Draw a line here. There is no such thing as compromise. Jinhyuk extended his gun forward. shudder! A bullet reinforced by a barrier was loaded. Oh, don''t be ridiculous. Even if you''re a monster, you''ve used a big attack once... You can''t use skills with similar power over and over again. Abigail opened her eyes. In other words. This time it''s this side''s turn. kuung! As the scythe struck the ground, dark clouds fell in the sky. [[''Eye of the Wraith''.] ''Lightning Sanctuary'' is activated!] Huge eyes appeared through the dark clouds. filled with ominous energy. At the same time. Pacchut! Chijik! Red lightning started flashing. Wide-area magic that encompasses the entire city. All the sight of the eye floating in the sky is within its range. "Escape and try it. If you can." Abigail was about to launch a massive attack. However. Jinhyuk still didn''t move. There''s no reason to run away. There was no reason to avoid it. Didn''t I tell you from the beginning? If you couldn''t handle one thing, you wouldn''t have come here in the first place. [An ancient barrier unfolds through a lost language!] There is a stage that is perfect for this fight. Also the ability to decorate the stage. [Lv5 ''Battlefield Selection'' has been activated.] I promised the day we first met. If you contract with me... . I will surely grant that wish. [''Corridor of the Fallen'' is reproduced.] The view changes. In the dark where the moon and stars disappeared. The winds of time and... . A place where only the fleeting loneliness remained. This was the cradle of a state that had lost everything. It was someone''s grave where only hatred and anger remained. " " Elise looked at a part of the corridor without saying a word. A throne located in the center of the corridor. It is the very throne where he was exiled and spent billions of eons. Crying and screaming... The very throne that cursed itself... . you . Elise looked at Jinhyuk with her sunken eyes. Ellis von Ataraxia. Jinhyuk slowly opened his mouth. According to the contract, from now on, I will kill the people who took away your place, and I will give you back the seat of Ataraxia once again. so as not to shed tears again. [I used the unique ability ''All things share (f鹲)''.] [The target is ''Ellis von Ataraxia''.] Pants... ! Behind Jinhyuk''s back, a ring that resembled the ring of the sun appeared. A huge mana rages. The heat of blood and fire melted the outer walls of the surrounding buildings. [The unique holy spear ''Apocalypse of Gaebyeok'' is activated!] Fully armed, which is the season of Elise''s statement and is considered the strongest. This is the ''Revelation of Gaebyeok''. hot and I felt the pain as if all nerves were burning all over my body. In an instant, I almost lost my mind. " " I know I''m using this. How much power Elise has. ''It''s not even the armor, it''s just a ring, but that''s about it.'' To say that he is one of the absolutes of the tower is no joke. Yes. Even with this power... . I just had to suffer. When the ability was expressed, those emotions and memories were also transmitted. Everything from the past that was painful and difficult. Whoops. Jinhyuk stretched out his hand. A red mana extending from a ring of fire was transmitted through the muzzle it was holding. That moment. kwaaang! An unreasonable roar rang out to be called a gunshot. A red magic bullet pierced the atmosphere and disappeared. uh? A gasp came from Abigail''s mouth. now. The right arm is gone. I couldn''t see what it should have been from the shoulder blades. Aww! Screams followed, but fear outweighed the pain. You don''t even realize that the shield is broken. It means that it is impossible to block or react. Lord, die! Abigail instinctively swung her scythe. The best defense is only attack. Since this happened, I was planning to destroy this whole area by any means and methods. kukukuku! I wondered if mana would condense around the huge pupils... . Immediately, lightning of judgment reminiscent of an apocalypse began to rain. However. Just before the lightning that fell on Jinhyuk''s head hit him. Scratch! Lightning cracked. The plain sword with dark red energy moved at an invisible speed. like that. Thunderstorms falling from the sky began to be cut off. No, that''s absurd... There were only a few moments of shock. Almost at the same time as cutting down lightning. Jinhyuk pulled out a long weapon made of blood. This is the one that will decorate the end. [''Vladimir''s Harpoon'' is activated!] A javelin used in the state of a unique holy spear. Throb! Blood gushed out of his mouth. Because of the use of power that overflowed in minutes, the whole body became overloaded. However, have to endure Just this one time... . Only one step left. Mana, poured to the limit, passed over her shoulder and headed towards her fingertips. The harpoon is twisted like a pretzel. Twisted and twisted to maximize rotational force. This is the end. at your fingertips. The harpoon is gone. A huge flash of light, thicker than a bullet, crossed the air. A flash that transcends the speed of sound. It even transcended this space. Puffy! A terrifying cracking sound pierced the eardrums. However, he could not see the end of Abigail. Consciousness blurred. sight... dyed black [Successful in killing Jinjo of the great family.] [He saved mankind from a great crisis outside the tower.] [This event will be recorded in the ''Hall of Fame'' tomorrow.] [The reward will be paid.] [Re ] only. It was as if he had seen such a status window before he completely lost consciousness. The fight is all over. Exactly, it was only a brief delay before the gate where Shub Niguras appeared. sabak. Is it because of the link with the 50th floor? Snow fell across the country due to extreme weather conditions. As if to commemorate the dead, white snowflakes fell on the city center that had been turned into ruins. After a full day like that, people started to repair the damage caused by Outbreak without being shocked. and currently. VIP room at Korea University Hospital. thank you. Han Sang-jin of the Korea Awakened Association entered Jin-hyuk''s room and greeted him at a 90-degree angle. Without having to check the Hall of Fame, which guild was the most active in this out break? And who will lead the guild? everyone knew By the way. Thank you, Nabal! Now the patient is absolutely stable! "If something goes wrong, you will be held responsible!?" Elise, Teresa, and Andria shouted at the same time. Yes... yes? Are you going to take responsibility? Sin, I''m sorry. Han Sang-jin took a step back in surprise. That But was player Jinhyuk Kang seriously injured that much? Yeah. Seriously. You must rest. Alice nodded her head proudly. Ummm. It looks like it. All right. I''ll just stop here for today. It is certainly more important to restore health than to say thank you in front of the patient. Han Sang-jin said hello and went out of the hospital room. damn... . "Just call a healer give it to me." Jinhyuk barely opened his mouth. Thank you for taking care of me, but just like a mummy, just wrapping a bandage does not mean that the wound will not heal. Isn''t it better if I just put a few bandages on it? You''re just a strong vampire. Then, why don''t you try praying to God? Please do not advertise as a saint. before being converted. Hehehe. I almost recovered after sleeping too. Isn''t everyone like that? you just don''t talk It''s a boss monster. mosquito! The sweet potato pulled out a magic stone from its mouth. His amber eyes shone brightly as if he was going to give him something he had really saved. I don''t think I''m going to eat this and recover. If so, I''d be really sad. Master. I''m going to boil the beef bone in hot water, so would you like to grab a bite? It''s a calcium lump, and after you drink a bowl of it, it''s like that. You''ll be healed in just one shot. T-Bone was also added. My head seems to be getting more and more dizzy. Maybe I''m mistaken. Perhaps . finally. Don''t worry. I''ll definitely do the surgery for you. Cheon Yoosung took out a scalpel. " " It seems that all the employees are not sane. CH 300 . restless comma Looks like everyone is here. Everyone must have heard about the reason why they''re here? Even within the Heavenly Demon Protestant Church, a few people gathered at the ''Black Wudang ()'', a particularly secret place. Sitting arrogantly at the center of the chair is the samaja of the left. And the one who opened his mouth was Simma Commander, who was ranked 4th in the Magic Order. I heard. Those idiots. They would have made our business easier if they got their attention from outside the tower. I think Jinjo is going to die. I thought they were pretty strong, but it ended in vain. Chae Hong-ah and Pae Chun-mu added one word at a time. I was planning to go into Moorim right away, wipe out everything, and even devour the Empire. This put the brakes on everything. right then "Calm down. Regardless of their success or failure, the strength of the main school alone is enough to wipe out all of the Moorim and the Empire." The man who had been quietly got up from his seat. Everyone''s attention was focused. Now that Heavenly Demon is wearing an inner wound and hiding, the main school has withdrawn from an unprecedentedly long closure. I watched the arrogant Moorimmaeng go wild. I''ve only watched the Empire of the West taint this land. But, all that shameful time ends today. An eagle with a broken wing is no longer an eagle. It''s just a legacy from the past and something that needs to be liquidated. If everything goes back to the logic of power, Heavenly Demon Protestantism... Of course you''ll need a new Heavenly Demon. as soon as. It''s time for the left company to move. Simma Commander. Yes, Zion. Commander Simma bowed her head sternly. How did you prepare? I''ve already finished everything as you told me. How would you like to check it out for yourself? Hey. Yeah. I''m really looking forward to it. Sima-ja gently raised his hand, and the shaman shim-ma went straight to the wooden pole. At first glance, it looked like a very ordinary column, but a sudden change occurred when the inner hole was injected. kukuku bang! With a loud noise, the floor of the annex began to slowly open. Soon after, the stairs leading down to the basement appeared. Hey, what a facility like this here. What is it, left-handed method. This! The rest of the people around them shouted in surprise. They had spent their entire lives within the Heavenly Demon Protestant Church, but they could not have imagined that such a huge facility would be hidden in the basement of the annex. Again, this course has put a lot of time into this task and has prepared a lot of things. So you just have to trust and follow it. The corners of the sama''s mouth went up. down the stairs. Inside the torches were lit, an unimaginable number of Kangxis were asleep, waiting for their master''s orders. In addition to hyeolgang poetry and solo poetry, there were also yin and yang gang verses that can deal with the best masters, and one of the top tier gang poems, cheonhan gang poetry. They are masters who were captured in the blood school and the strongest powerful poets nurtured through the spirit of Simma. I''m going to get all of Moorim in Dalpo, starting with Konnyun. Oh! Before that, I''ll have to clean up the house. Law of Friendship Where are the old man and the disciple now? It is said that... it''s outside the tower now. As a sacrifice, the Core will be consumed tremendously, but the years are good. No, thanks to that, my life was saved. The sama smirked. Shall we organize a pursuit? No. Just leave it alone. There''s nothing a guy who only has one shade zone can do. When you come to Moorim again, you only need to cook it slowly. If there are only the Gangshis and the main elites of the Heavenly Demon Protestant religion, killing them is not a thing. Outside the tower, three days later, until today, there was only talk about Outbreak. [The hero who saved mankind] [What will happen to the members of the Goin Corporation? Total arrangement of ranker and each trait.] [Private Interview Collection] [St. Teresa of Amsterdam, proudly revealing her affiliation, ''Proud to be with you''] [Kang Jin-hyuk, revealed as a famous BJ who hid his past identity!] Various articles have flooded the Internet and the community. There were a lot of aggression rice cakes and false stories, but that would be proof that the stock price of Goin-Mul Corporation is skyrocketing. sky: Again, thanks to Jinhyuk, I survived. Blank: I really thought I was going to die. Buildings collapsed and roads were smashed. min: I thought that the work inside the tower was someone else''s business, but now that this is happening outside, I know it''s serious. Lily: Oh. really. I thought I was going to die from trembling. Blind Blind: Everyone knows? The memorial service will be broadcast live today. An.K: Oh. I heard It''s almost 3pm now. Nangrang: It''s called Daejeon Memorial Cemetery, so if you''re nearby, go see it yourself. kimy: Yeah. we should see it too Even to honor the dead. byMini Groom: Whoa. Thank you, sorry and sorry again. jxh: I feel like players need to be treated more. You fought for your life like this. 11: That''s right. Of course it should be. Simultaneous live broadcasts started all over the country soon after. It was broadcast through the official channel of the Korean Awakening Association, not the Tower of Trials broadcasting system. sabak. Jinhyuk, Cheon Yuseong and Teresa appeared in black suits. All the spotlight was focused on the three of them. Sageundang and Juice: Ooooh! It''s Jinhyuk! Doyeon Lee: I even came to Cheonyuseong and Theresa. Kyungbu Min: Wow, the members are gorgeous. Arkazoo: Jinhyuk is also good at getting suits. las: Is it because you have a bandage on your shoulder? I guess it just looks nicer. kupi: Wounded man. cool. Exciting! Magnet attached to the refrigerator: But you can use the healing skill, why are you wearing a bandage? Thousands of mourners and reporters and the chat window on one side moved like crazy. Look. Jinhyuk saved all these people. "To say that there are too many lost people." Jinhyuk smiled bitterly. I heard that there are over thousands of dead players in Korea. In terms of the world, it was over tens of thousands. Since the estimate was this much, in reality, if you did more, you would do more, not less. You did the best you could. You actually achieved incredible results. So, you can stand up proudly. People can''t move forward when they only think about what they''ve lost. Cheon Yoo-seong placed his hand on Jin-hyuk''s shoulder. Even this guy would say something like this. Yes. Saying that makes me feel a little bit stronger. The living will live for tomorrow. Kyakyakya: Oh! Look over there. Takeshi from the Samurai Guild also attended. Park Hee-soo: Oh, right. That person said that he came to repay the favor to player Kang Jin-hyuk. McDoria Ketchup Thief: They say they lost over a hundred guild members this time. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Said the damage was enormous. pri: Because I fought that goat on the front lines to save the refugees. Mojo: Still, I''m loyal. Green Green: I see you again a little bit. Have you come? The humble man behold the great and majestic divinity.... ...!? Jinhyuk quickly stopped Takeshi from speaking. What the hell are you going to say in front of all the people? Let''s be quiet. Yes? You know the saying that silence is gold...? Oh, I see. Seeing him bow his head with a sullen look makes my conscience a bit pricked. I guess I''ll have to tell this guy the truth someday too. right then Welcome, Jinhyuk. Now the ceremony begins. Theresa waved her hand in front of me. Yes. I''ll go right away. Jinhyuk passed between the reporters and the mourners and headed forward. In the scattering snowflakes. Chrysanthemum flowers whiter than snowflakes were placed in front of the cemetery. For the citizens who died due to this Outbreak. Another one for the dead player to save them. The last one is for the military and police who jumped into their limbs without any unique abilities or skills. bang! bang! bang! A brief tribute followed with the sound of salutes. pri: Still, it ended well. Mirinae: Is it possible to set aside an hour with this? Sage: No. It''s not over. jew: ooh. That gate isn''t gone yet. Cosmic Mercury: Is there anyone stronger? him: That black goat man is still there. Lowe: The goats were moving because they spit out bizarre cries. When I saw that he was giving orders, he seemed to be the boss. Butterwaffle: It''s a complete nonsense to say that mana can''t be measured. Jaesun Yoon: It seems like it will be really dangerous this time if it comes out. kkh: They said that each guild is trying their best to find a way to close the gate. Trust only me: haha. I''m really worried. A voice of relief continued, saying that he had survived immediately. However, at the same time, there were also voices of concern about the gate that had not yet been opened. That''s natural. This is just a matter of buying time for a while. Because the fundamental problem has not been solved yet. ''About a week or so.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes turned to a distant place. You can still see a huge gate floating in the sky. in the shimmering surface. There were thorns sticking out with numerous teeth. As if to warn you that you will run out right now and turn everything back to nothing. next day. In a large pension located in Gapyeong, a rather strange combination was created. Jinhyeok, Amhwang, and Elise and Wolyeong were sitting on one side of the parasol. On the other side, Chuhonsayeong and Cheonyuseong were located. Theresa agreed to join after helping Andria shop for clothes outside the tower. It was definitely a small after-party at the beginning, but as this person and that person intervened, the board grew so large. by the way. The meeting of two outstanding giants. ''I get goosebumps just looking at it. Even outside the tower... I''m sure we''ll meet in swimsuits.'' In contrast to Chu Hon Sa-yeong, who is smiling brightly, Master has a fat expression. He pretended he didn''t care, but a strange war of nerves continued to come and go. Chu Hon Sa-young, wearing an elegant cardigan and wide-brimmed hat, lay down on the sundeck. Wearing sunglasses and drinking a tropica drink with ice is completely on the level of taking an Instagram photo while traveling abroad. I don''t know how that person can adapt to this world so quickly. Did Cheon Yoosung even give private tutoring? On the other hand, Master was wearing full body tights for swimmers from where he got it. Even wearing a swimming cap. Kuhm. Disciple. The clothes in the world you live in are very uncomfortable. That''s right. I couldn''t handle those muscles, so my swimsuit was torn, how could it be comfortable? It was when Jinhyuk was unable to speak inside the car. Oh my gosh. I think the dark Hwang''s brain is made of muscles, so clothes can''t stand it. Originally, an ignorant person didn''t even think about his physique and chose clothes like that. Chuhonsayoung took a sip of her drink. No, ignorant? Did you say that you are ignorant now? Moment. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! All the water in the pool gushed out into the sky. Ahhhhhhh! What, what? Is it an earthquake? I''m sure the Outbreak wasn''t open... The guests staying at the pension on the other side screamed. Cheon Yoosung looked at the two of them and sighed a little. I''m anxious. It''s empathy. like that. Vacation outside the tower has begun. CH 301 . stagnant pool party ''Well, it''s not that bad.'' Jinhyuk looked in the mirror and nodded. Sunglasses, a white T-shirt and blue shorts. These are the clothes that I simply did shopping for before coming here. Hey. Master. Isn''t it cool? "I usually dress up like that." Undine and Sylphid let out a small exclamation. When a department store employee complimented me on a regular basis, I thought it was just a word on my lips. However, looking at the reactions of the spirits, it seems that they were not completely explanatory comments. Perhaps the biggest reason is the amount of activity. No matter how much I exercised, I was getting a little fat due to my long BJ life. After the Tower of Trials appeared as a reality, she was able to maintain her perfect body. The fine muscles visible through the loose fit and the waxing of the hair must have played a part. at that time. People in different swimsuits started coming out one by one into the pool. Wolyoung and Cheon Yuseong were the first to appear. Master. It''s very uncomfortable to wear this unarmed outfit. Wouldn''t it be difficult to protect the master in the event of something...? Wearing only trunk-type swimsuit bottoms, Wol-young showed off her slender body. Not having his own sword seemed quite uneasy. On the other hand, Cheon Yu-seong took out a beer from the icebox leisurely and took one senior. Hmm. Well, sometimes it''s not that bad. It''s not like I''m doing a celebrity photo shoot. Its appearance is still the same as if it was a fragment image. Just lying down and drinking a beer brings out a picture. Then came Ellis, Teresa, and Andria. Wow! Jinhyuk-nim. Is this a swimming pool? There were more cloudy days in Europe, but I think the weather in Korea is much better. It''s not cold compared to the snow. Andria wore a white bikini to match her white hair color, and Teresa wore a blue bikini to match her blonde hair. wow Both are great in many ways. In particular, Andria seemed to get used to the abilities of the Nine-tailed fox, and she had fully expressed her ears and nine tails. Finally, Elise, in a black swimsuit, stared intently at Teresa and Andria. " " Elise poked Jinhyuk on the shoulder. Take my luggage back to my original body. why? Hurry up, don''t talk. No. Mana is very exhausting. Just stay. damn! Huh? There were clear palm marks on Jinhyuk''s back. Why is that guy getting nervous and upset for no reason on this fine day? ''Anyway, it''s completely childish.'' Jinhyuk shook his head and clicked his tongue. So the real water fun began. Mosquito! Mooogi! The sweet potato wiggled its tail on the tube. Yes! Yes! I''m going again, Captain. This time it''s a big wave! Then Undine worked hard to make waves in the water. Just the right height to enjoy. However. Would you like to have fun with it? If you want waves, Bonjwa will make them for you. The dark sulfur that entered the middle of the pool raised the air. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! In an instant, a huge wave rose from the end of the pool. need to stop right now If left as it is, the entire pension may disappear before you even enjoy your vacation. Master. Jinhyuk calmly opened his mouth. Why? I''ve heard that Master''s acting is the best in Moorim. He''s also famous. Hmmmm! Well, that''s not wrong. I mean, would you like to make a light bet with me? Huh? Would you like to make a bet with this seat? Dark Hwang''s eyebrows were curved in reverse. It is a face that is half-half of interest and half-curious. Of course, it''s just for fun. Seriously, there''s no way you can win a bet with Master. Okay. You can''t miss something like that in a fun place. But, what are you going to do with the sport? I''ve heard that super-climax masters can move objects without touching them. You''re talking about the empty space (̓Քz). Of course, you can use the main seat as well. Of course. Master''s Mugong has nothing to say other than that he is a heavenly heaven. The Buddhist disciple has nothing to say except admiration today. Jinhyuk made a face that looked like he was about to cry because of his emotions. I pinched my thigh with my fingernail to really shed a tear. Kerham! Com! The disciple knows something. In fact, it''s hard to find a master the size of a main course in all of Moorim. great. The prey came right into the delivery box. "Then, the one who floats higher will win." Look carefully. I''ll let the main seat show you what the end of the inner work is. Dark Hwang''s gaze turned to the side. They seem to be looking for something suitable. It was decided. mosquito? The sweet potato''s body slowly rose into the sky. almost over 10 m. To float something about the weight of a sweet potato more than 10m. It''s really great. I can''t even imagine how deep it is. The penalty will be 10 years of closed training with the main course. There is a lot to teach. The dark eagle smiled confidently. As if I could continue like this. However. The smile on the corner of Jinhyuk''s lips was even darker than that. This time it''s my turn. [The unique ability ''Triple Magic'' is activated.] [Leviation magic has been selected.] mosquito! The sweet potato soared gently into the sky with the wind. It was more than 50 meters high. Come on, wait! The dark hwang was terrified and shouted. Isn''t this a foul! You have to lift it inside the air. If you use your other abilities, then... I never said a single word that I would do it internally, did I? Yes? I just said that the one who floats high wins. Why the hell are you using your inner strength so hard? There is a wonderful and convenient means of magic. Well, that''s... At the same time, I forgot the garlic to eat with the meat. You can go out along the road and buy it. If possible, please come and collide head-on with a ten-ton cargo truck. It is even better if you come back after a few days of recuperation at Bukmansan Mountain. How many hours have passed? After playing for a while, the noisy day was over. Of course, the summer vacation isn''t over. It''s only just begun. sizzle. Along with the sound of the meat being grilled, a delicious scent rose. The highlight of the pension is the mukbang. In other words, how delicious meat, vegetables, and alcohol you eat. " " " " Their eyes cross each other''s eyes. His breath subsided coldly, and sparks arose from the gleaming eyes of the beast. right then One piece of meat has entered the stage of being succulent. The air changed rapidly. Everyone instinctively realized it. Now that meat is the most appetizing. chut . widely! Kick! Chopsticks cross the air. To get the first point. And to take away a point that someone else has secured. Each of the unique abilities possessed were activated. The chopsticks, which disappeared due to the shading, snatched up the fish at once. I will dedicate the first point to my lord! But. Chuhonsayeong, who used the ''Chuhonsword'', stole the meat Wolyeong was holding. Ugh? Huh! The magic of magic is all there. Then the Dark Hwang of Jilsera raised the Dark Heavenly Demon Hwanggong. A heavy energy exploded along the wooden chopsticks. Dare you! Do you touch the food of magic? kwaaang! Chopsticks and even the meat were turned into powder. Well, what are you doing. Without dignity! It''s better to get rid of it than to lose it to the factions. Even more so for a snarky serpent like you. Oh my. There is a law outside the tower that says that those who treat precious food in a lowly manner should stick their chopsticks in the middle of their foreheads. It''s interesting. It''s not enough for the naburangi to discuss the way of a strong man, he''s even discussing the law outside the tower? If you can, give it a try. Whoops! The dark hwang''s muscles expanded like they were about to explode. However, Chuhonsayeong also countered the momentum without backing down even a bit. Is it a confrontation between Gangnam''s wife wearing sunglasses and the local man who drank heavily? uhm. ''I''d rather fight a black goat.'' Jinhyuk pressed his temple with his index finger. It is fortunate that Teresa was fortunate to have protected the remaining meat through ''Blessing of the Stars''. Had it not been, the dinner would have become something of a mystery made up of protein molecules. right then Jinhyuk-nim! Eat this. I bought it, hehe! Andria wrapped a wrapper with a bright face. It seems that she has learned a lot from Teresa, so she has a pretty plausible shape. It is said that it is a tradition for Koreans to wrap wraps around their family or friends. Well, it is said that they usually put a lot of meat, garlic rice, kimchi, etc. to show affection to the person they like. Teresa eagerly read the green search bar. Thank you. I''ll eat well. Andria. Still, there are people who do pretty things in the midst of this. Jinhyuk happily took the wrap and put it in his mouth. Hey. Is it delicious? proportion is appropriate. I also had two pieces of meat. Andria, who was praised, clapped her hands with a happy face in the world. If you look at this guy like this, who would think that he is the boss in charge of a floor? She is an innocent girl herself. Is mine going to be special? I made it in a western style once. Theresa also wrapped a wrapper and handed it over. hoo. This is with sausage and mustard instead of pork belly. When I ate it with rice and fried egg, naturally exclamations flowed out. By the way. "Because it''s a good fight there is a very interesting culture outside the tower." "Let''s make a special seat for the disciple whom we love." Once again, a strange battle ensued. Prince Cheon. Come on. Do it. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. "Sure, Master, a little bit about the body " Oh my. Are you going to refuse what your teacher gives you? I''m so embarrassed... I think I''ll have to die. All right. When he handed the wraps containing three pieces of meat, Cheon Yu-seong let out a small sigh. ''Seeing that leech also suffers after meeting a teacher like that... It seems that I feel a little pitiful.'' It was when Jinhyuk looked at Cheon Yooseong with a pitiful gaze. Fuhaha! Little boy. The factions aren''t always so arrogant. Filled with charred meat and put it in the ssam. The addition of plenty of black kimchi is a bonus. If it''s a man, how not to share it in two mouths. Take it. To say sorry is an understatement. Here''s another monster. Furthermore. I put as much love as I can... As much as I can... Yeah. I can''t lose. Yeah! Elise, who had been muttering alone, moved her little finger. Then he handed me something the size of a basketball. eat. Huh? Eat. This? Yeah. Don''t leave it all. You can''t leave it alone. Okay? " " At a glance, it looks like a 10-story stone pagoda at Wongaksa Temple with meat, right? I put about 30 pieces of lettuce alone and everything that was in the rice cooker. Even the Buddha was surprised and gave him enough to run away at once, so I don''t know if it''s just to give him something to eat or to assassinate him. ''The middle class... I want to go quickly.'' Hurry up and get out of this hell. CH 302 . prelude to invasion peaceful morning. Residents in Cheonghae began their day as usual. The merchants displayed their products in a dream of being sold out, and the herbalists went to the mountains to dig up rare medicinal herbs. Damn it. This guy''s pickles seem to be getting tougher day by day. A middle-aged man with a shaggy beard spit out swear words. The long hike made my mouth smell sweet. Be quiet. Thanks to you, the magicians don''t come over, so you should be lucky. Well, that''s right. The road is so fucking crazy, they won''t even go this way. A blessed area with steep mountains and narrow roads. For this reason, Kunlun was able to most effectively prepare for the advancement of the Heavenly Demon Protestantism by using this as a base. But right then. Oh!? The old man walking in front let out a suffocating sound. What, what? What''s going on? Everyone''s eyes gathered. Si, I saw a Sim! I saw a Sim... I saw a Sim! it is wild ginseng It is also several hundred years old enough. Oh oh oh oh! I hope you have a good dream today! There was a smile on everyone''s face. This is because if they sold wild ginseng like this, they could live with it for the rest of their lives. But, without a moment of joy... . kwaduk! A black hand protruded through the man''s stomach, who was screaming. Blood dripped from his arm. Turn it off... huh? Kang Si is covered in red blood all over his body. let''s blood Oh no, it''s magic! Aww! damage! The herbalists tried to run away in the midst of a horrific nightmare. However, even taking a few steps was too much for them. Puppupuck! In an instant, the forest turned red. and after a while. A group of shadows appeared among the bodies that had not yet lost their warmth. The one at the forefront was ''Simma Spirit'' wearing a black robe long enough to be dragged to the floor. Around him, there were the masters of the command and the gangsters who had been specially selected and brought. Any other guys? No. These guys seem to be all who came to gather herbs. great. Commander Simma nodded as if satisfied. Did you know the size of the enemy in the village? The Mistweaver''s cross-reference is at its peak, but except for him, there is no person to be particularly wary of. "Kunlun gangsters, if you add three yin and yang gang poems, I will wipe them all away." I''ll kill them all before the sun goes down. Heh heh. Everyone spit out one word at a time. Due to the long closure, my body is itchy, so I can''t even remember how to wield a knife and cut someone. At the thought of being able to run wildly, a dark life rose up. I''ll give you time until hash. Let''s get everything sorted out. I''ll spend the night here. Jon name! Commander Simma''s order has been issued. Immediately, a huge dark cloud began to fall along the mountain. By the time Jongmu-ryang heard the report of the demonic attack, the phone had already grown out of control. Three hundred hyeolgang poems... yin and yang gang poetry alone is over twenty. And there''s even a new kind of gangshi I''ve never seen before. It seems to have been developed while they crouched down. The biggest problem is that the 4th highest rank in the magic class, Simma Commander, moves directly. It''s not just a provocation, it must have come with a purpose this time. Gwanju... you have to make a decision. The atmosphere darkened heavily. They had already sent messages to Kunlun and Moorimmeng, but there seemed to be no chance that they could hold out until they arrived. However, if you run away from here, you will be branded a coward and a coward for the rest of your life. For Mujin, pride and honor are more important than life. if so . All that''s left is to kill at least one more, even if there is a limit to death. decided. Sreung! Jongmuyang drew his sword. I''m going to kill all the dirty magicians. Who will be with me? Oooh! We will be together. Gwanju! I''ll take at least five of you to your comrade! It was at that time when the fighting spirit was about to be heightened. Aww! The gate of the Mist Office was shattered. A low-pitched voice intervened with the hazy smoke. You don''t have to go far. Your place will be here. Oh, sooner or later! "Is it because everyone who was outside was already beaten?" No matter how fast, I thought that one Sijin would survive. The piercing speed was too fast. too much. It''s called Sadoak belonging to the commanding squad. I think it''s important to know who takes his life. A large man with a saw blade-like sword in both hands opened his mouth. Next to him stood even hyeolgangsi, who looked to be about 30 years old. Seeing that he had seven packs of blood all over his body, it was clear that he had to go through a lot of people before he came here. Ugh! Are you thinking of starting another love affair as soon as the closure is over? Is it really impossible to achieve peace against you cruel people? You have long tongues. In a world of weak and savagery, cruelty or cowardice... All the bullshit of the weak. What are you doing? Kill them all. Sadoak shook his head. Kie! Aww! Rivers spilling black liquid from their mouths all left at once. A struggle to take each other''s lives began, with no need for conversation. kwaaang! Kaang! The Mistweaver''s masters who raised the Sword Qi and the powerful warriors collided head-on. Aww! aaah! Blood and flesh splattered, and screams pierced the sky. The swords only scratched Kangxi''s skin, but the Gangshis tore the Mistweaver''s warriors to pieces in a matter of days. What kind of gangshi is like this... A gangshi that is resistant to strong winds. It''s not a normal bloody poem. Be careful everyone! The hyeolgangsi, which was strengthened by the hyeolgyo''s unique manufacturing method and the martial arts of Sim Ma-syeong, was three times stronger than the existing hyeolgangsi. Of course, even those who have faced Kang-shi in a personal battle can only help but be embarrassed. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! So, the charter began to collapse in an instant. Because the poem poison formulated by Simma Spirit was so terrifying, even a small wound distorted the QiGong and fell into QiGong Deviation. Those with relatively strong internal strength endured a few more hits, but those with even a little less skill went crazy one by one and turned into a cold corpse. Turn it off... Aww! Cool! Gagging! Gagging! More than half of the masters have already died. But only one. With the sword that raised the sword, Jong Mu-ryang mercilessly slashed the swordsmen. Five pieces of blood were scattered and scattered. It''s pretty good. They said that there is one guy who has surpassed the climax. It looks like you''re doing some sort of work or something. "If you thought that you could break the sword of a faction against a dead body or something, you are greatly mistaken." Kuh-huh. Okay. It''s fun. Still, I didn''t have to use this guy, but it''ll be great for warming up. ''Baekryung'', it''s your turn. sabak . The new Kangsi took a step forward. The eyes were sewn with needles, and the whole body was discolored as white as snow. Just looking at the wriggling blue veins makes me nauseous. Uh-huh... Jongmu-ryang cleared his breathing. That Kang Po is probably the first type I have ever seen in the report. ''You must not be vigilant.'' Kang Si didn''t have the qi, so he couldn''t fathom the depth of it. Assuming you are stronger than you think, you should put everything on the first Basic Form. Whoops! The pure and refined qi flowed along the muscle veins, burning wildly. [[Regular duty is 5 stars.] Activating the ''Tae Heo Dragon Swordsmanship''!] A season that symbolizes the Kunlun sect. A sword loaded with 5-star power soared as if it would cut through the sky. now! The weight moved like lightning. The trajectory drew an exciting arc. And that sword... . West nope. It became the last Basic Form he did to the world. Oh . How your opponent attacks. how you suffered I couldn''t see or feel it. Just too naturally, only the result of death marked the end of the fight. the dimension is completely different. chimerical . before consciousness ceases to exist. The servant thought. The civil war in the past... It would be nothing compared to the catastrophe this time around. Jinhyuk, who had been on vacation outside the tower, headed straight for the middle floor. ''Is this Luoyang?'' Where the headquarter of the Moorim Maeng is located. At the same time, it is the site of the imperial palace where the current emperor resides. ''It looks better at night. It is many times bigger and more splendid than the empire''s ecliptic.'' By the time Jinhyuk came out of the gate and arrived at his destination, the sun had already completely set. It goes without saying that no one can enter or leave the castle after the sun goes down. [Currently, in the large base ''Luoyang'', there is a single confrontation system and 72 types of medium-sized quakes.] As a capital city, there were devices suitable for it. ''It would be unreasonable to enter the front door openly.'' The security was also very strict, so there were no other sharp cracks in sight. Damn it. I have something I need to go inside today and deliver. I''ll hear you firmly say that you didn''t meet the deadline. I can''t help it. Because even the nobles can''t go inside at this time. Everyone around them spit a word out. Everyone was caught in the curfew time with an intermittent difference. However, it was only for a moment that they complained, and everyone took a desperate step to find a place to stay. Jinhyuk was the only one left on the empty road. No, there was exactly one more. Your brother won''t give up? A tall-haired man spoke up. young. At least I''m just over twenty years old. Judging by his twisted appearance, he looked like a scoundrel or a bastard. Homelessness isn''t to my taste. I don''t have much free time either. If possible, you should get in here tonight. Then, didn''t you come early? It''s probably not that you don''t know there is a curfew. That''s right. We could have arrived a little earlier if we wanted to. But. It''s not fun. what? I heard that the walls of this place are the most thorough in the middle class? Indeed, to test whether the reputation is real or not. A new challenge is always exciting. Needless to say, if it''s one of those things you''ve never tried before. Well, at that time, the biggest reason was that Heavenly Demon didn''t have time to worry about things like that. Fuhahaha! Hey. This hyung is absolutely a masterpiece. I thought it was a little unusual, but he was a more amazing person than I thought. He seemed to like the answer so much that the man laughed like crazy. However, Jinhyuk was also happy with the current meeting. ''I didn''t know that I would meet this man in a place like this, but the fact that it''s a coincidence is really scary.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. CH 303 . Pathway to Luoyang (1) open wave. A member of the old file room. To be precise, it was close to a gang of beggars. ''In terms of information power, there is nothing comparable to the whole of Moorim.'' Since the number of beggars possessed by the Open Party is so large that there are no places that are not here and there, there are naturally many things to talk about. And this young man in front of me... . One of the elders of the Open Sect, better known by the pseudonym of ''Twelve Faces (ʮƤ)'' rather than his real name. It is ''Mahyeyang''. Originally, he must have been well over seventy years old, but thanks to Mugong who can change his face, he was able to maintain such a youthful face. However, it wasn''t just that this man was an elder of the open party that Jinhyuk was interested in now. ''It reminds me of the old days when we met like this.'' Ma Hye-ryang was an elder of the open faction, but at the same time, she turned her back on the factions and was a spy under the orders of the Heavenly Demon Protestantism. In the past, I had a hard time in Moorim thanks to this stag beetle. It was only at the last minute that he realized he was a traitor, but by then it was already too late. Because the Moorimmeng collapsed, and a tragedy occurred in which they were suspicious of each other and stabbed each other in the back. Still, after trying to live and die, I managed to achieve the condition of breaking through the floor, but I did not forget the memories I had at the time. ''I think I can pay off the debt at that time.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. As long as you have already figured out the identity and intentions of your opponent, you are completely in control of all situations in the future. Above all else, you shouldn''t look at someone who has ''Eyes of Gluttony''. Name: Ma Hye-ryang Gender: Male Age: 73 Level: 127 Strength 85 Dexterity 77 Stamina 60 mana 8 Strength 59 Hex 171 Unique Ability: Eighteen Long Dragons skill: ''bast face ball'' Lv35, ''Making poison'' Lv34, ''The Strike Stick Method'' Lv34, ''Anti-Magic Method'' Lv33 . [Copy Conditions: Illusion is the determining factor in all of mankind''s rise and fall. Currently, Ma Hye-ryang is trying to recruit or eliminate you while hiding her identity. Convince him that his plan is going smoothly and obtain at least 3 or more giren or important information. If you do that, you will be able to copy one of the unique abilities and skills that Mai Liang possesses.] After all, ''Eyes of Gluttony'' has nothing to say other than a scam. Ma Hye-ryang, who hid her identity, would think that she was wearing a perfect disguise... . ''I''ll make you completely misunderstood and then use it to the full''. There is one thing that I am confident in pretending to be innocent. Jinhyuk pretended not to know and shrugged. There''s room to try a few. Since then, I''m good at barriers and base types. Hmm. Would it be difficult at the level of knowledge you have? If you make a mistake and get caught, it will be an immediate disposition. That''s something I''m going to do on my own. The question is... What is it that you are trying to cross the wall for without permission at this time? Why are you pretending to be close and talking to me? Sharp reaction. If you allow too easy access, you will rather be suspicious. You have to repeat pushing and pulling properly to unlock the boundary. Haha. I don''t have a bad plan. I went out for a picnic, but I missed the time to go in. What? If I didn''t pay my quota by dawn, I''d be killed by the king. . That''s when, just in time, I got to see you. They''re supposed to go inside each other. That''s it. Ma Hye-ryang smiled brightly and nodded her head. Thinking that they had built up close friendships, he immediately brought up the subject. Actually, I know a secret passage through which I can enter the castle. It''s a place I''ve been wanting to give up because it''s dangerous alone. What do you think...? The bait was sprayed. Hmm . According to the original plan, I was going to try a new challenge while destroying Jin, but... . Since Ma Hye-ryang appeared, the plan must be completely revised. ''You must seize the opportunity to copy the skill.'' Not knowing anything else, Ma Hye-ryang''s ''bast face'' is helpful in many ways. Being able to change your face was a law that had a huge advantage in itself. ''If it turns into Chuhonsayeong later, I can roll the heavenly star here and there. You have to treat him like a dog.'' The thought of training the employees already made my heart flutter. Okay. Don''t do that. It''s good. If hyung is with you, I think it will be very reassuring. Ah! Wait. Can I ask you one thing before I go? Please? I have a colleague. I want him to go too. Will it be okay? " " Ma Hye-ryang looked suspiciously for a moment. This is probably because he was instinctively wary of the intrusion of new variables. However, it was only for a short time. That''s how you do it. Well, looking at the atmosphere, if you refuse, it seems like your brother won''t come. Thank you. Then, wait here for a moment. Jin-hyeok, who was separated from Ma Hye-ryang, found a moderately gloomy place and hid himself. Let''s inject mana. uuung! The ''Braham''s Ring'' he was wearing reacted. [The seal is released.] Sa, it was a real mistake to put wasabi in the lettuce wrap. I told you I''m sorry over and over again! Alice appeared, covering her head with both hands. A brief description of the genus was completed. Hey. So. You mean you need Jim''s help? As soon as I said a request, not only my tone of voice but also my personality changed. The bridge of the nose can''t rise and it has the momentum to pierce the sky. You must be careful, but he''s such a crafty guy. I want you to look behind you just in case. "You mean to use the beauty world." Huh? So, isn''t that the point of plucking out the souls of others with the beauty and dignity of this body? After all, Jim is enough for men to lose their mind. However, Jim is also a sinful woman. Bees keep flying. Alice exclaimed as she looked at her own face reflected in the creek. Yes. what If you want to think like that, you have to think like that. At best, it seems that it will only look like a granddaughter having fun, but... . There is no need to go against the Queen''s heart by saying that. Then, are you going to help? The contractor says so earnestly, but Jim can''t turn away from his request. However, a ball is a ball and a living sign. Alice spread her palms toward Jinhyuk. Naturally, the head of Ataraxia, who is overflowing with money, is not asking for money. It just means you want to do something that suits your taste. Salmon sushi and soba noodles. I''ll buy you some cheese pork cutlet. Use some more. For dessert, we also serve mint chocolate from Vera. Especially in half-gallon size. Do you want to die? Jim asked for a gift, not poison. It''s tricky... Okay. Last time you said you wanted to go to Lotte World outside, would you mind taking me there? An earthquake occurred in Alice''s pupil at the words of an amusement park. A place for human entertainment that you have only seen on TV. Unlike the harsh and dangerous amusement park in the tower the other day, it was a place where laughter never stopped. Snow... Huh? Buy some snow waffles. Snow waffles? To be able to eat fluffy, cloud-white cream, red beans, and bread at once. I''m very curious about how it will taste. Fuck! Why, why are you laughing! Jim has the right to eat! No. Yes. Waffles. I''ll buy you as much as you want in every kind. This made the transaction. After a while, the two turned to Ma Hye-ryang. Alice magically changed her distinctive silver hair and red eyes. Black hair and black eyes like obsidian. White skin and red lips were typical of the Moorim people. This... there was a beautiful young lady. Is this your brother-in-law''s fiance? At first glance, she looks like a gyusu from a prestigious family. You have eyes that can see quite a bit of lowly things. Jim is a great atlas... ah! Jinhyuk pinched Alice''s back. She''s not from a prestigious family, she''s the youngest daughter of a famous family. I didn''t learn Mugong properly, but my stamina is good enough, so it won''t be a hindrance. It shouldn''t look strong. If you do, you should be able to judge that you can take them hostage. That way, it will be worthwhile to bring Elise as a Hidden card. Haha. You have basic stamina. That''s good. Again, Ma Hye-ryang was half-hearted. And with a fishy smile, he stretched out his finger towards the place opposite the Imperial Palace. Then. Let''s leave before it''s too late. After a little while, you''ll see a passage. There was a rocky mountain at the place where we arrived after Maheryang. It was an ordinary rocky mountain that I would have passed without thinking about it if I had not known it. By the way. Brother! This way, please follow me exactly where I am going. There was a very narrow gap between the shadow and the shadow covered. It''s the secret passage he was talking about. ''If this passage... Indeed, that''s why he led him this way.'' One of the few ways to enter the Imperial Palace using a shortcut rather than a standard one. Among them, this is the place where the most infamous creatures in the Moorim live. Jinhyuk smirked. I couldn''t help but laugh when I saw the opponent''s target number clearly. jerk. As I went down the passage, the moonlight that was there was completely gone. Instead, the stones attached to the wall shed a faint brilliance to light the way. I''ll go ahead and check the road for a while. Please stay here for a moment. Don''t follow the lady of the house, especially since it can be dangerous. Haha. Ma Hye-ryang took the lead and disappeared. It smells suspicious. Why are you doing your own thing after asking to come along? Leave it alone. Let''s see if there''s something we need to save here. Search hard for a hundred days. One day I''ll use it It was when Jinhyuk was figuring out how to cook that guy. T-tiring! A status window appeared in front of me with a light notification sound. [1 message and 1 item have arrived from Blacksmith Orun.] [Are you sure you want to?] at Las. The item you''ve been waiting for has arrived. Jinhyuk''s heart started beating like crazy. CH 304 . Pathway to Luoyang (2) pounding! pounding! pounding! I waited too long. It seems that decades have passed since the completion of this weapon. ''at Las Can you check it out?'' At the same time, Ma Hye-ryang is not present. As a rule of thumb, it will take a long time to get back here. if so . Jinhyuk took out the sword he had received from Orun. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The subspace door opens... . A dazzling blade revealed itself. [Many items were used as materials for enhancement!] [The relic that slashed the Demonic Dragon awakens!] [[Dragon Killer Sword, ''Balmung''] - Purple Grade] Attack power: 321,700 Weight: 105kg Durability: 550,000 / 550,000 Description: It is one of the most powerful offensive weapons among the relics that exist below the 49th floor. A single blow can slash the Dragon scale, and just holding it in your hand increases all stats by 10% (increases mana consumption). [Special Active ''Reproduction of Myth'': You can possess the power of the great hero Siegfried in the myth. However, the power that can be reproduced varies according to the caster''s ability and growth value, and all mana possessed immediately after use is consumed.] There were several changes to the balmung after the repair. First, as the durability was fully recovered, the weight was increased from 37kg to 105kg. Kuk... . You can feel the heavy feel along both hands. Even though the strength stat was 109, the weight of 105 kg was difficult to handle. ''No, it might feel heavier because of the pressure of being a top-notch relic.'' sure thing is All of this is a pleasant feeling of weight. Even the special skill attached to the weapon itself had the power to reproduce the life story of the hero. Absolutely deceptive effect. I knew better than anyone that I couldn''t, but... . ''I can''t stand it... .'' Fingers tingle In my mind, I wanted to try it right now. Wow... that''s really cool. It''s the first time I''ve seen something like this. Even Alice exclaimed with her eyes wide open. Yes. It''s the first time I''ve seen a weapon of this level. To make this, even the materials alone were put in beyond imagination. When I first went to get Balmung, I amplified the ''collapse accelerator'' I bought at the coin exchange with ''intermediate purification stone'' and ''whisper of steel''. Through that, I finished the preparations below to strengthen the balmung. After that, Orun used all his skills to use ''Armorbreaker'' and ''Gray Heart'' as sacrifices. I don''t know, but Orun must have been overworked for the past few days without sleeping properly in order to raise the indigo rank to the purple rank. How do you look okay? Huh. Alice nodded with a serious face. give it to me. what? It''s a pretty sword, so I think it''ll fit in my collection. Hearing such an absurd sound makes me speechless. I guess that''s just what we''re talking about in this situation. Will the retriever do some flips if he hears this? uhm. I think this will suffice for you. Orun sent the leftovers of the Armor Breaker with him, but he did well not to throw it away. A bare wire in the shape of a twig was clasped in Elise''s hand. " hoy?" And while Elise stared blankly at the branches. Jinhyuk activated his personal status window. T-tiring! Name: Kang Jin-hyuk Gender: Male Age: 28 Level: 122 Strength 109 Dexterity 58 Stamina 67 mana 273 Gap 100 Luck 10 Adaptive 78 Elemental 82.55 Stat Points you have: 21 Coins held: 10,562,377 Occupation: Ruler of the Runes Unique abilities: ''Fusion'', ''Sword Grave'', ''Star Blessing'', ''Anubis'' Judgment'', ''Blood Magic (Ѫħ)'', ''Mandala (_)'', ''1 second Invincible'', ''Thousand Poison'', ''White Beast'', ''All Things (f鹲)'', ''Sanctuary of the Sun'', ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong (ħʹ)'', ''Triple Magic'', '' ''Colossus Strike'', ''Breath of the Fire Dragon'', ''High-speed Sword'', ''Tomb Grave''s Right Arm'', ''Berserker'', ''Wind Realm'', ''Shadow Kill (Ӱؽ)'', ''Blood Explosion (Ѫ)'', ''Black Tears'', ''Tomb Grave''s Bridge'', ''Strong God (y)'', ''The Core of the Legion'', ''Ancient Barrier'' skill: There are too many types, so it will switch to summary state. I got to level 7 after dealing with Abigail... . As a householder, the experience it gives is huge. Even though my level was 3 digits, I went up 7 levels at once. I''ll invest everything in mana. If you consider Balmung''s mana consumption, you have to pay more attention to mana stats. [mana rises from 273 294!] [Additionally, there are new items stored in the subspace inventory.] [Are you sure you want to?] There were only the items that were obtained just before the loss of memory were not formidable. What caught my eye the most was the weapon Abigail used. The strongest magic Noble Phantasm that symbolizes the Levisita family. ''Scythe of the Wraith Tree''. It is a relic that shows overwhelming power in using melee-type attacks as well as blood-based magic. I couldn''t even imagine how great synergy would be if it was used together with Elise''s ability through universal sharing. ''I knew the drop rate was 0%, not an atrocity level... Reading skill is a real scam.'' Thanks to the effect of dropping the best, I was able to obtain a relic that I could not even dream of in the past. But that''s when Jinhyuk was trying to check the scythe. ...! It was caught that Ma Hye-ryang was returning at a fast pace due to Jin-hyeok''s sense of urgency. ''I''ll have to check the rest of the items later.'' Jinhyuk closed the status window again. Not long after that, Ma Hye-ryang, who had finished chores, approached from the front. There were a few dangerous ones, but I took care of them properly. A smiling face with a friendly smile is really detestable. All the more because I know what I''m going to do. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. In Ma Hye-ryang''s sleeve, I could see something vaguely wriggling. A creature that is also feared among the Moorim people. That''s ''solitude''. ''After all, I was trying to get the loneliness that lives in this passage.'' yin and yang. This pair of parasites has a rather unique mechanism. When you feed a yanggo to a victim, it immediately takes place in the victim''s brain. ''In case of disobeying or betraying orders, it immediately releases an unbearable nerve poison.'' It is not an area that can be sustained by human will. Because it was the power of this loneliness that made even the warriors who had trained all their lives betray their own clan. Furthermore. The loneliness that is corrected in this place where there is a lot of negative energy will be even more effective. Ma Hye-ryang was intentionally guiding me to this place to feed her loneliness. ''Heh heh. Even if they are quite talented, they are nothing more than prey for me since they came here. I''m already excited at the thought of a kid going to tremble.'' Ma Hye-ryang kept a sinister smile inside. This passage was originally intended to evacuate the imperial family when an enemy invaded the imperial palace. In an emergency situation, the traps did not work, so the royal family could come and go safely, but in peacetime like now, lethal traps operated in a lot. Just to prevent anyone with bad thoughts from coming in. Of course, Ma Hye-ryang had grasped all the traps in this place as if it were her own bedroom. ''No matter how flying and crawling, if you aim for a time to avoid traps, you will inevitably end up in loneliness.'' aka double trap. Through this method, more than ten masters have been subjugated to the power of Heavenly Demon Protestantism. ''By the way, why does Daeju put so much effort into one guy who came from outside the tower? After thinking for a while, Ma Hye-ryang shook her head. It is not necessary for those below to know such things. His mission is to include factors and internal work to the end. The secret to longevity is to do what you are asked to do without questioning your work. Ma Hye-ryang was realizing it through long experience. and sooner or later. The three arrived at the first trap. Ma Hye-ryang slowly took off her shichimi and slowed her steps. Exactly half and half slower. You have to aim for the moment when the trap is triggered. '' caught!'' I saw Jinhyuk stepping in the place where iron skewers protrude from under his feet. Whoops. Ma Hye-ryang instinctively tried to blow her body, but barely stopped. Uh, what...? The trap was not triggered. Seeing Jinhyuk moving forward so calmly, a sigh of incredulity came out of Ma Hye-ryang''s mouth. Is something wrong? I can''t... . Ma Hye-ryang approached the place Jin-hyuk had passed. And carefully put the weight on your feet. Cheol-kun ! With the sound of Gyeokcheol moving, I could feel the soles of my feet. The trap is working properly. ''danger Sun!'' should be avoided immediately. By the way. I''m not following you, what are you doing? Jinhyuk tapped Ma Hye-ryang''s shoulder. At the very least, it''s time to run away. Whoops! Red blood gushed out from the skewer that dug into the back of his foot. Aww! A scream erupted from his mouth. What, what''s this again? Is it okay? Why did you get hit without avoiding it? Hey... damn it. You... no, your brother... is holding you by the shoulder, what are you going to do to avoid it! No, of course I said that I had removed the trap, so I thought it was okay. Oh my. The instep of this has turned into a complete rag. What should I do because I''m sorry. Jinhyuk clicked his tongue as if he was sincerely sorry. No matter how bloody it looked, it seemed difficult to walk properly. Okay. All right. Let''s quickly go on our way. Would you like me to support you? Because I don''t need it! Ma Hye-ryang groaned. It seemed that the ties of reason had already been severed due to anger. ''Even if you were lucky the first time, there is no next time.'' Next time, I''ll definitely finish the job. Ma Hye Liang was limp and walked forward. After going a little further inside, we reached the second trap. nine in total. The passages that stretched out like anthills welcomed everyone. I also caught my eye that the amulets painted in the same color as the soil were cleverly hidden. There are a lot of passageways. Do you know where to go? Anywhere is fine. I can smell the sweet smell of blood over there, I can''t stand it. Hey. "Not but oh my. I''m so scared of the dark passageways. The sky. Will you protect me?" Elise trembled and hung on Jinhyuk''s arm. It''s absurd to be chirping. Guess I''ll never let this guy act again. I know the location. Instead, my legs are like this, so I can''t go first. My brother will go ahead. If you follow the third aisle, you will soon reach Luoyang. So what. Jinhyuk took the lead. Exactly towards the passageway with the cliff entrance. And Elise followed closely behind. finally got it This time, you can definitely make a gap. No matter how many flying fish you are, you will not be able to protect your weak fianc and your body at the same time. Ma Hye-ryang gritted her teeth and prepared to bring out the loneliness once more. When your opponent loses his balance and clings to a cliff, that''s the best chance to feed his loneliness. However. jerk. Again, Jinhyuk stopped right before the activation of Jinbeop. a little bit. I only had to go 1 inch (3cm) further. In any case, it stopped like a lie right before that. "Aren''t you are you going?" Wait a minute. My leg hurts a little after walking for a long time. " you have to hurry to get there before sunrise." My head says it understands, but my legs don''t listen. What? If I take one more step, there''s going to be a strike? can''t No choice but to push him from behind while babbling. Ma Hye-ryang slowly approached the back of Jin-hyeok, who was having a conversation with her leg. And he stretched out his hands relentlessly. But, just before the palm touches the back. Jinhyuk''s figure disappeared. Oh, my waist. Let''s sit down for a little bit... No, why are you here? Ahhhhh! kwaaang! Ma Hye-ryang, who fell off the cliff, trembled all over. Fortunately, his life was saved. Fortunately, it was deep inside and survived. If I was an ordinary person, my whole body would have turned to powder. However. The pain that stabbed all over his body was unavoidable. "Uh uh " A deep moan escaped Mae Hye-ryang''s mouth. Can''t it be like this without luck? Even if something went wrong, it was definitely wrong. Are you okay? It looks like a lot of pain... isn''t it seriously injured? "It''s okay does it look okay? You rotten bastard huh?" Such a thought ran through Ma Hye-ryang''s mind. The figure of Jinhyuk with a worried face up there. He seems to be smiling faintly for some reason. CH 305 . Pathway to Luoyang (3) A few more traps came out after that, but Ma Hye-ryang had to drink only a bitter cup each time. It was really a pity that things went awry in the blink of an eye. However, the more I failed, the stronger my conviction became. Next time. Next time... . I''m sure you''ll succeed. That''s how stupid and naive he was, it seemed like he really didn''t know anything. Now, all that remains is the will to be successful by brainwashing oneself and the evil accumulated from within. Ugh... Are you okay? I don''t know how scary it is or what it is, but looking at it right now, it looks better right? Better to break your leg stick. Just a little bit more and you''re going to lose your life. It''s okay...it''s okay, so don''t tell me, let''s go and walk. I''m saying it because it doesn''t look good. No matter how weak you are, this seems a bit harsh. No, so can you do it properly? If you come under me, I think you can write as a porter. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Ma Hye-ryang hit the wall with her forehead. bang! bang! bang! Oh, I see. If you go, you can go. If you worry about dying, it''s a mess. Isn''t it? Yeah. If other people see it, they''ll think it''s a corpse. I think a stupid corpse would be a perfect name for it! Shhh. Lower your voice. I can hear everything. I''m telling you to listen. Jinhyeok and Elise laughed. In this case, death is good again. On the side of the victim, the clothes didn''t burst, so foam came out of his mouth. ''kill. sure to kill I''ll treat you like a slave for the rest of your life after you''ve eaten away loneliness. Ma Hye-ryang swallowed the blade of revenge. That''s how we reached the seventh gate. It is the place where the last trap before arriving at Luoyang is located, and at the same time, it is a place where a completely different level of trap lurks from before. uuung! I could feel the subtle energy flowing through the amulets on the wall. The law has already been done. now! Ma Hye-ryang bit her lip. As the blood seeped into his mouth, a red energy spurted out of the area except around where the magician was. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! [The ''Red Salmosa'' is activated!] As the Daebeop was invoked, a string that forcibly restrained the intruders in the passage appeared. Kwak kwok! Jinhyuk and Elise''s bodies were tied up in the blink of an eye. Hey, what the hell is this... Jinhyuk made a nervous voice to the fullest. A stiff expression and body movements that show embarrassment. 98 out of 100. Wow. Wow. Play. La. La. My body doesn''t move. What should I do? A big thing. Is it me? Ellis also waved her arms in a tone as if reading a Korean book. Seriously, I''d rather bring someone else... I regret that His acting skills are beyond a serious level to the point of tears. Kuh-huh... K-ha-ha-ha! You finally got it! Ma Hye-Liang burst into a maddening roar. What. Is this... did you do it? We''ve been fine. But why...!? I didn''t even notice a single thing about that. I''m completely blown away. It''s okay. Elise. Huh? Would you mind calming me down before I snort the wasabi? I''m starting to feel a little ill. Joe, I''ll be quiet. I''m really good at being quiet. Look. Haap! Alice closed her mouth tightly. It''s absurd. Even in this situation, I''d be fooling around. Well, I don''t know what''s going to happen from now on, so I guess I''ll be able to relax like that. Ma Hye-Liang pulled a creepy-looking insect from her sleeve. it''s loneliness Kei... I struggled with my legs as I wanted the loneliness to enter my body. From the moment this takes place in your body, you will absolutely obey my words. Hahaha! I will repay you tenfold for the shame you have suffered so far. The guy named Gonghwa, whose name is one of the factions. In this way... how many people has he hit in the back of the head? There must have been people who couldn''t stand the loneliness and died? That''s not my business. If you die because you stupidly choose the wrong side, isn''t it your fault? More importantly, if your mean life is used for a cause, you should die gratefully. Ma Hye-ryang approached with a smile on her face. *''shit .'' No matter how part of the plan, to be honest, I can''t help but feel reluctant to eat that. Because the guy called loneliness was so annoying. However. There is no other way to convince Ma Hye Liang that everything is going according to her plan. Jinhyuk closed his eyes tightly. gulp! Something terrible ran down my throat. [You have suffered a condition!] [If you do not obey the target, you will be permanently injured.] Red status window that appears in succession. I can already feel a throbbing pain in my brain. Give up. Resisting will only prolong the pain. Yes. Usually, that is correct. But that''s right. [The 5-star barrier ''partial break'' is activated!] When I realized that my opponent''s goal was loneliness, I made all the preparations. Before entering the passage, mana was injected into the previously drawn barrier. And at a moment where it could be said that it was almost the same time. [The unique ability ''Blood Magic (Ѫħ)'' is activated!] [The unique ability ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong (ħʹ)'' is activated!] A dark sound swelled softly from the inside of his body. The characteristic demonic energy is the favorite kind of loneliness. There, through the barrier, all demonic energy was allowed to flow to the optimal place. Keiei? The parasite, which had been very nervous in the body, suddenly made a grungy sound and stretched out pleasantly. The pain also subsided quickly. ''great.'' Naturally, he didn''t show any expression on his face. The point is to show that while acting a moderately painful expression, he never succumbed to the words of the other person. Of course, as Ma Hye-ryang, who is unaware of this situation, it can only help to be embarrassed. ''What, what?'' As time passed, Ma Hye-ryang''s relaxed face became more and more serious. I have never heard of a human being who can endure loneliness. Isn''t loneliness what makes even the high priests of Shaolin Temple subdue? However. Wow! The opponent still had not lost the vitality of both eyes. no doubt It''s unbelievable, but right now he''s fighting hard from loneliness. "There was a reason why the Lord you showed interest." He couldn''t even imagine how strong his mental power was. But you can''t just admire it. If he left it like this and failed his mission because he became a villain, it was because he had no face to see him. Can''t you do it? Ma Hye-ryang took out a knife and put it to Alice''s neck. If you keep resisting, it''s as if you''re going to cut your throat. Ahhhhhhh! Even you won''t stand by your fiance''s death. That''s right. That''s right. You don''t want me to die, do you? Alice pretended to be weak like a princess in crisis. I''ll see you when it''s over. Wait... I get it. You don''t have to resist. If you don''t resist. Jinhyuk bit his lip. Instead, let me ask you just one question. I''m so curious about this that I can''t stand it. It''s really varied. Tell me the damn thing. Where is the Heavenly Demon now? When I went to the Heavenly Demon Protestant Church, I couldn''t even see my nose. " " This is a question that is not as light as you might think. Ma Hye-Liang''s head turned rapidly, He is also holding hostages, and all his energy is focused on one side to resist loneliness. There is no single variable. Besides, if I had asked something else, I wouldn''t have answered... . Should I protect the nerd who suffered internal injuries while fighting forcibly without giving in to the beings on the 50th floor? Achieving missions and satisfying little curiosity. The worries didn''t last long. Of course you didn''t see it. The idiot is here in Luoyang now. What? Heavenly Demon... is there in this place, the stronghold of the Moorim Maeng? Yeah. He said that he had to find a stone that glows yellow, so he left the main school and ran away. Thanks to him, Jwahobeop and Daeju devoured all power. Yellow... it''s a stone... The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. Indeed, that''s how it happened. Now everything makes sense. "Are you clearing up your questions? If you become my puppet anyway, you will naturally learn more." Yeah. Thanks to you, it''s completely resolved. So now... heh? An earthquake occurred in Ma Hye-liang''s pupil. I had no choice but to do so. It was because Jinhyuk''s body, which should have been tightly bound, was moving freely. Kaang! The blade that was holding Elise''s neck rotated round and round in the air. Ji, Jinbeop? I told you. If it''s this type of field, you''re pretty confident. Now, all your cards are gone, what should I do? Don''t get me wrong! Do you think I... chose this place without any preparation! Ma Hye-ryang, who stepped back, shouted. That moment. kwaang! bang! Three bloody bloodstained bodies protruded from the ground. Aww! Koooh! Kie-ee! It is several times stronger than the hyeolgang poems that wiped out Cheonghaeseong. These were the high-ranking lectures they received directly from the Simma Spirit in order to deal with masters above the climax. Kill the woman, catch that bastard now and kneel in front of me! However. Ma Hye-ryang''s smile, which confidently gave orders, did not last long. Poppy! Huh? A strange sound echoed from behind. Kangshi, who was holding Elise, was pulled out by the neck. Where does a corpse dare to touch Jim''s body? As if Ellis was annoyed, he threw Kangshi''s head to the side as it was. Whoops! kwaduduk! The other two Kangxis also had their bodies folded in half and rolled over on the floor. No, that''s ridiculous... wasn''t she just an ordinary girl... It is far from ordinary. Even though it looked fragile, Jinjo had a stronger grip than an ogre. I think you really misunderstood something... Jinhyuk smirked. Whatever you prepare. No matter what you''re trying to do, it doesn''t matter. I''m at the top of your head. My goddamn... Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Ma Hye-ryang hurriedly tried to run away. In any case, these guys are always proud of themselves, but if they''re wrong, they''ll try to run away. Whoops! Jin-hyeok chased after him in an instant and kicked Ma Hye-ryang on the back. Ahhhhhhhhh! Ma Hye-ryang, already exhausted and full of wounds, could not avoid a simple attack. ruler. So how do you cook it? The first thing that came to mind was my feet, but . ''The sword is not worth it. I can''t get dirty blood on it.'' I''m not the one I''ve been waiting so long for to use on a guy like this. At least the first slash should be used on a worthy opponent. Jinhyuk took out a new weapon from the subspace inventory. [The symbol of the Levisita family welcomes a new owner!] A sickle of the Wraith Tree used by Abigail. The sickle, which seemed to have moved the crescent moon as it was, drew an ominous curve. A creepy glare was emitted from the eyes embedded in the middle. At the same time. [Successfully obtained information with 3 giyeons!] [Submitted to ''Solitude''] [You have obtained information about Heavenly Demon.] [You have obtained information about the location of the ''Moonstone''!] [Copy skill ''bast face ball (Ƥ)''!] [bast face ball] Acquisition Difficulty: A Description: You can imitate the appearance of the target you want, and you can increase the level of perfection according to Mugong''s achievements.] Ability copying was also successful. Now, everything that can be pulled and eaten has been pulled and eaten. I''ll be grateful for the information. I never thought it would be so helpful. Considering what happened in the past, I had to spend it much more painfully. Looking at what I''ve done now, especially... is a horn. I can''t let you go comfortably when you think of the hardship you''ve suffered because of that guy. Hundreds of people became slaves and betrayed their families and brothers. Because several times more people died brutally. Even considering the sins he has committed so far and the sins he will commit in the future, he has to show his bitterness properly. There''s one that''s just right for you. You can probably look forward to it. Jinhyuk hit the ground with a sickle once. OK. [The special skill ''The Tree of the Ghost'' is activated!] kukukuku! Violet tree trunks rose from the ground. Well, what are you planning to do? what are you doing I''m trying to give you eternal life. Wraith trees suck human body fluids and mana. At the same time, it keeps the prey alive for a very long time so that it does not die easily. So, he betrayed the power he belonged to and tried to keep his life. Hope it goes on for as long as possible. Honey! Honey! The tree trunks wrapped around the body began to suck body fluids from the host''s body. Ahhhhhh! Ma Hye-ryeong screamed as her throat exploded. maybe a thousand years... You will be alive in this passage. I want to die, but I can''t. CH 306 . Moorimmeng (1) Luoyang''s heart. Here, the leaders of each clan that symbolized the old file room were gathered. After the Heavenly Demon Protestant Church declared war on a large scale and announced their advance to the Midwest, all sects had an emergency. ''So Yoo-hyeon'' of the shaman. ''Ryohwa'' of the volcano. Kunlun''s ''Single Tree''. ''Geoljunggil'' of openness. Shaolin''s ''Hyemyeong''. All of them are masters composed of elders from each clan. It was not easy for people like this to come together in one place, but considering the seriousness of the situation, I could not erase the feeling that it was lacking. From the lord? You''re on your way home from work. It will arrive within a day... two days at the latest. It''s a headache. I mean, he''s absent because he has business to see in the Hebei region. I''m sorry. Because our ark is so selfish... haha. I went out without a word, so I barely found anything in Hebuk. Chuckle! Isn''t that the Buddha''s will? Don''t rush and wait patiently. Amitabha. Various words came out of everyone''s mouth. right then If you wait for several days, it''s too late. The river poems prepared by the Heavenly Demon Protestant Church are strong and fast. Cheonghaeseong has already passed, and the northwest region is also at risk. Sooner or later, here in Luoyang, too, will fall into their hands. Someone opened their mouth. In the position of an outsider rather than sitting in a seat. A neat-looking woman with short hair. It''s a wedding ceremony And beside him, there was also an expressionless face, and Teresa, who looked a little nervous. So Yoo-hyeon, who was quietly listening to Chuhon Sa-young, let out a long sigh. Then, does Chuhonsayeong want us to accept the previous offer? Yes. I think that''s the only way. " you must know where we stand." "Of course, I am well aware of that. But, once again, I want to tell you to listen to reason rather than emotion." Chuhonsayoung had already repeated the same proposal several times, but the Moorimmaeng side rejected the proposal with a single blow. It''s a natural thing. The words spoken by Sayoung Chu... . It was because we wanted to ask for help from none other than the players. Of course, some players have leveled up enough to use them as their strength. Just like Cheon Yuseong and Theresa here. However, the problem is that the main character now has a lot of bad ties with Moorim in many ways. Five generations will come here soon, but everyone has suffered a lot from him. There are places where he has lost his disciples. Kunlun''s Danmokil also added a word. Elder Dan is right. Just getting the order to kill us is a big concession for us. Already, valuable talents from the clan had been lost in the lower floors of the tower. It is not something that can be simply forgotten. Oh my God. So even if the whole Moorim is turned into a sea of fire because of a small incident in the past, there is nothing I can do... What does this mean? Chinese wedding ceremony! It''s a sea of fire. You''re talking too much. Chuckle! This isn''t the first time Heavenly Demon Protestantism has invaded Moorim. We also have hundreds of strong experts. Besides, according to the secret service, Taemudae, the Heavenly Demon, the core of them, is also missing? It is true that you should not be vigilant, but the power of the Moorimmaeng alone can defeat them. Without Heavenly Demon, Heavenly Demon Protestantism cannot exert less than half of its power. That was the common thought of all who belonged to the Moorim League. But right then. Snuggle... . The door opened. There must be a few hours left until the representatives of the Oh Dae-se generation arrive. Who the hell came at this hour? in everyone''s eyes. Excuse me. I''m a little late. Jin-hyeok, who was smiling as if he was shy, appeared from the gap. no way ! Hey, how dare that bastard be here! What were all the guards out there doing? Hey... Chuckle! The Moorimmaeng representatives inside shouted. "You you don''t seem to be receiving much Shadow?" Elise shrugged. Everyone is nice and shivering. I''ll take care of it, so take a look here. I didn''t even expect it to go well in the first place. In fact, there was no reason to get along with these guys. jerk. Jinhyuk casually walked over and sat down at the table. Mr. Jinhyuk. Sheesh. Hurry up and go. Fufu. Nice to see you again. Confucius Kang. The three of them greeted Jinhyuk warmly in their own way. "Who said you can come in here at will?" So Yoo-hyeon''s eyebrows were curved in reverse. kukukuku! The teacups on the table trembled violently. Cracked glasses. It is not an exaggeration to say that he broke through the peak at a young age and entered the state of supra. Jinhyuk was also surprised by Soyuhyun''s young energy. in a completely different sense. Is the non-partisan elder level only like this? . ''It''s serious.'' Even at the same transcendental level, compared to Heavenly Demon Protestantism, it is completely childish. Against Master, it will be over within five rounds... . You have to hit it well enough. If you raise the Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong to 7 stars or higher, you can clearly see in your mind that his body will turn to dust. ''I''m also twenty... That would be enough.'' I don''t know how the shaman''s master can become so weak when he is so engrossed in peace. But suddenly. Something flashed through my mind. ''No, the opponent is not weak.'' Among the players, So Yoo-hyeon will also be seen as a monster from the heavens. The guild''s main raid had to stick to the raid format. only. ''I was stronger.'' Overwhelming growth and dominance of the company. It has grown stronger and stronger than others. What''s more, is it because you''ve been fighting some really strong guys like Yacha and Abigail lately? The opponent''s clumsy threat was heard as a swarm of children. ...wow! This guy...! When the armed demonstration through internal air did not work, So Yoo-hyeon''s face turned red. On the other hand, Geol Joong-gil looked at Jin-hyuk with an interesting expression. You''re a funny friend. Yeah. I don''t think they''re going to come all the way here and make us feel hot. Let''s hear the reason. What is the reason? You must be decapitated immediately! Sreung! So Yoo-hyeon couldn''t hold back her anger and pulled out the knife halfway. Calm down. Guru Yangban. The other party must have expected this kind of reaction, but the fact that you''re here doesn''t mean you have something to say, right? It''s nice to have someone with whom I can communicate. That''s right. I''m here because I have something to offer you guys. Jinhyuk pulled out a map from his pocket. It was a map that encompassed not only Luoyang, but also Mount Hundae, the headquarters of Heavenly Demon Protestantism, and the whole of Jungwon. But what made everyone''s mouths burst with astonishment. There were numerous arrows and letters written on the map. Main bases and transport routes. The contents corresponding to the top secrets of each clan and the imperial family were revealed without filtration. It was precisely the information that part of them was deleted, but nonetheless, no one did not recognize that this was an unusual kind. This . Stand, no way, no nonsense! How do you know this? how is it Have you ever played an epic battle at most three more times? ''This is the 27th time I''ve only been in an affair on this floor.'' As I went through countless wars, I came to remember naturally even if I hated my head and body. How the opponent will come out and how to attack this place is everything. But you can''t tell the truth. I captured a spy sent to the Moorimmaeng by the Heavenly Demon Protestant Church. Ma... He was a man who was doing something, but he knew quite a bit. Thanks to your kind information, we were able to have a warm conversation. It is true that I am alive now. It is true that the information was obtained. Except that it was warm, most of what he said now was correct. A spy. Who are you talking about? Captured means you have him with you now? I can''t answer you right now! Aren''t we asking! Everyone''s pressure continued. Of course, it wasn''t Jinhyuk who was shy at those words. Look at this. Even if the main customer is overturned, it is an oily resin. I can''t even say ''thank you'' if I let you know about this. I don''t think you''ve been able to understand the situation properly yet, so let''s make it clear who''s in charge here. I''m the one who gives the information, and I''m the one who decides how much to solve. Don''t ask for more. Whether or not the Moorim is destroyed by the rhetoric has nothing to do with me. In a nutshell... do you mean that we''re just moving according to the script? That''s correct. This is ''very good'' Should I even take a picture of Dojo? Still, I''m glad there are people who can recognize horse ears. Currently, there are a total of seven roads where the main lecturers of Heavenly Demon Protestantism gather. Among them, I can tell you where they come the fastest. Of course, you will have to pay the price accordingly. "Are you going to pay the price?" Of course. Where in the world is free? I''ve heard that the shaman''s elixir is very effective... Is that true? Ah! The volcanic ash and plum sword is also a famous sword that cannot be omitted. I like it, so I hope you prepare a lot for it." unreasonable demands. The atmosphere inside the conference hall was stained even more harshly by the sound of dogs telling them to give out the treasures of the clan and even a huge sacrifice. However, Geol Joong-gil looked at the information written on the map and Jin-hyeok alternately. over and over again. " " The silence was not long. Geol Joong-gil bit his lip as if he had made up his mind. Part of the information has been erased, but the rest should be enough to determine the level of authenticity. Okay. When the lord comes, I''ll tell you about this in person. for a moment! Are you serious? Calm down. I''m not making a decision, I''m just trying to tell the boss. It''s a wise decision. Then, I''ll be watching the zodiac nearby, so please call me when you decide. Let''s go, Elise. Huh. Jinhyuk and Elise leisurely followed the way they came. A place where a huge waterfall and nature harmonize. The samaja who watched the moonlight setting slowly opened her mouth. Simma Spirit. Do you know about blue dragons? blue dragon. It means the blue dragon among the Mythical beasts of the four directions, which means the four gods. "Of course I''ve heard of it." Master Sim nodded his head. He, too, had heard and grown up about the Mythical beast that encompasses myths and legends. Mostly, though, they were stories that stimulated the childhood hearts of young children. But, supreme. What''s important right now is, shouldn''t we be thinking about how we can get into their heart? I understand that the beautiful scenery brings back childhood memories. Now is not the time to reminisce about that. However, despite the urgent words of the commander Shim, the samaja was still smiling. You really don''t see the essence. Although our trio is strong, it must be difficult to break through the defenses they spread out like a beehive. Especially, the King of Moorim even broke through walls. "It''s the same as the supreme the realm." That''s right. So, even if you play a meaningless attrition, you won''t be able to disrupt the trend, but you''ll only be wasting your mental energy. Honestly, what kind of plans are you doing right now? Didn''t I already tell you? Do you know about the blue dragon? That was when the sama-ja had finished speaking. Whoops! The direction of the torch was subtly changed by the wind. Then, the scenery I had seen a while ago began to look different gradually. The huge thing I thought was a mountain . not a mountain Hey, this can''t be... no doubt The tens of meters tall, the godstone was in the shape of a majestic and terrifying Dragon. As if it had just moved before. All the grains were alive and breathing to be called a simple fragment. I hope... Ji-Jon. This is... The commander''s voice trembled rapidly. Isn''t it fun? A blue dragon who deals with rain and clouds as Yeouiju roams Moorim? The corners of the sama''s mouth went up. The existence of Heavenly Demon is probably good. Yacha and Kangsi are just part of the plan. From now on, the history of Moorim will be rewritten by me, Samja. Moorim uncompromising that no one else could have done. There is only one person who can tell the end of a difficult task that was considered impossible. Keuk kuk... ha ha ha ha ha! The samaja exploded in a maddening madness with the huge god stone in front of him. CH 307 . Moorimmeng (2) As the storm passed, the interior became noisy again. So Yoo-hyeon and Dan-mok-il raised their voices at first. Does everyone believe that? Predicting the enemy''s way. How can he see through their movements? They appear out of the blue and reveal these secrets. Rather, I''ll have to question whether that person is a spy or not. Chuckle! It might be that the words of the si-ju are right? Everyone frowned, except for Hyemyeong and Geoljunggil, who burst out laughing. In particular, So-Hyun and Dan-Mok-Il were openly expressing their hostility. right then Cheon Yoosung slowly opened his mouth. You can''t ask for help, but you''ve got a suspicious disease and are busy biting. It seems that the process of one power leaning is the same everywhere. What? Does this mean that our strength is not enough? The eyebrows of the monologue were curved in an inverted manner. There was no way I could honestly hear that Mangjo had heard it. No, you guys are strong. All of them are good enough to change the flow of battle. A force with a powerful force and numerous unmanned men. Who dares to judge the Moorim as weak? However. That''s all. war, not battle. In order to win in a wider game... . A larger variable is needed. He has the power to change the game of war. Only one, no one else. I would not take this offer lightly. As if he didn''t like himself even after talking, Cheon Yoosung clicked his tongue briefly. Yes. Jinhyeok didn''t always like him. A mean, snarky character who always behaves in his own way. He is nothing more than an enemy who wants to show bitter taste someday. nevertheless. If there is only one thing I have to admit... . The point is that he, including everyone here, has been to the top of the tower more than anyone else. I''ve never asked him directly, but if he was... . ''You may have seen the tower''s late 30''s.'' An unknown place presumed only to be inhabited by divinities. At first, I thought it was nonsense and nonsense. But why? The more I get to know that damn bastard, the better. It occurred to me that the assumption was not entirely nonsense. That''s too much of an overestimation for one person. Yoosung Cheon. I didn''t know that a person like you would say such a thing. Hyo-hwa gave a strange smile. "I was just telling the truth." Hmm. Is that so? Come to think of it, the two of you seem to be pretty close... What''s the relationship between the puncher and him? relationship... . I''m going to get over it sooner or later... After speaking calmly, Cheon Yu-seong got up from his seat. Fufu. If it''s a Confucius, it''s possible. Then, excuse me too. I''ll wait for a good answer by all means. There''s no harm in listening to Jinhyuk... No, it''s hard to say for sure. It was followed by Chuhonsayeong and Teresa. Jinhyuk and Elise joined the three people who were waiting outside. Why did you come to Luoyang so late? Thanks to you, I waited a long time to deal with those damn bastards. Cheon Yoosung exhaled coldly. It seems that it was quite uncomfortable to grumble with sincerity. I''m sorry. There was something I wanted to try a little bit. But it got a bit tangled in the middle, so I was late because I had to go somewhere else. "If you had come with me, you would have come more comfortably. It seems that Confucius Kang really enjoys various challenges. Our pupils should learn a bit too. Isn''t it, Confucius Chun?" Chuhon Sa-young grabbed Cheon Yu-seong''s cheeks and pulled him out. S, Master! Please keep your trunk! Oh my gosh. Be harsh. At first, I was begging you to teach me a sword like that... They said that you only need Master to become strong. It has changed. It''s cold. What the hell does this have to do with that! Are you raising your voice now? The teacher is so sad that it''s so dark... While Cheon Yu-seong was having trouble with Chu Hon Sa-yeong, Teresa, who was next to her, opened her mouth carefully. Jinhyuk-san. Will the other side really accept Jinhyuk''s proposal? Perhaps it will. The representatives over there may not know it very well, but if you show the map to the intelligence department of the Moorim Maeng, they will realize it at once. How fatal can the strongholds that the Heavenly Demon Protestantism is aiming for? Also, if it connects with the bases that have been lost so far, will it be able to shake up the entire board? All that''s left is to wait patiently. The one who is anxious is Moorim. So, until you approach me first, you just have to spend some time around here. Um, so what should we be doing in the meantime? rice. Elise intervened with a single sword. It was just one word, but it was a voice with a force that could never be disobeyed. Exhausted from walking through the aisle all night. With the addition of an empty stomach, it means that Alice has endured enough. It''s not too late to eat... Or your blood is fine. It seems that mana is lacking these days, so I should supplement it properly. The corners of Alice''s mouth moved upwards subtly. This is dangerous. Ah. That''s right. Come to think of it, there was a really great place for food in front of this place. This is a fish store and this is a clothing store. Oh, is this the place? Jinhyuk hurriedly ran into any restaurant and entered. Whoops! Even though it was early in the morning, the inside was full of people. I was in a hurry to find a place that seemed plausible, but I think I chose a pretty decent place. Welcome. What can I give you? One Jeom Soi, who found the party, quickly approached. Give me everything written here. Jim will pay a charter, so all noisy and savage humans should be kicked out. Elise arrogantly sat down on the chair and gave the order. "Yes yes? I customer, what are you talking about ?" I''m sorry. I don''t have enough kids. Dare you, I don''t have enough for Jim... Eup! Jinhyuk stopped Alice from taking out the gold box with a short delay. Please do what you do best here, according to the number of people. Jinhyuk managed to send Jeom Soi back. and after a while. A table full of delicious food came out. Oh, oh! It''s really delicious. This isn''t mine it''s ok. I think it will suit Jim''s taste. I''ll eat well. Jinhyuk-san, please eat too. Hmm. Local Chinese food isn''t bad either. Fufu. Eat a lot. The chopsticks moved quickly. Elise took a bite out of the meat, and Teresa also ate a piece of five flavored soy sauce and exclaimed with exclamation. Well. It definitely doesn''t taste bad. However, it lacked something to be called the essence of Chinese cuisine. ''If it were me, I would have thought of a combination that could bring out the unique flavor of the ingredients a little more... .'' It was when Jinhyuk was thinking about a few things to enhance the taste of food. Sheesh! It''s noisy. Hold on. Big brother. What do they know about manners and laws? Food is what you eat to move your body. To walk the path of nothingness, you have to stay away from gastronomy... Those guys are eating in such a filthy way. A sharp voice came from the other side. Not an ordinary guest. Unlike most of the customers who did hard work, they all had bright faces. ''Are they belonging to a faction?'' The clothes were also completely different. A neat white robe and a long sword on the waist are symbols of the Tao who practice mind and body. Yes. They are the masters of the shaman faction who came with So Yoo-hyeon. The numbers are three men and one woman. Among them, the man who looked very handsome was different. Saksuk said that people from outside the tower would also participate in the meeting, but I guess that''s them. Some people say that Chuhon Sa-young was a disciple. Did you say Cheon Yu-seong? Well it''s not bad at all. It''s true that the weak things know what to do to help us... Isn''t that right, ambassador? It must mean that the Heavenly Demon Protestants are coming in. A man called the Great Man sips his teacup. What are these guys? Elise, who was taking a mouthful of meat, raised her eyes. It looks like they''re arguing... How are you going to have a fight? Cheon Yoo-seong also looked at the opponent with a lively eye. Like these two aggressive guys, they are ready to run right away. However. Surprisingly, Jinhyuk had a peaceful smile on his face. Hold on. You''re a precious comrade we''ll have to fight with soon, so we can''t fight a sword here, can we? The power of Heavenly Demon Protestantism, including Samajah, is strong. In order to deal with such bastards, the power of the Moorim Maeng should not be wasted. What''s wrong with you? Why are you saying that all of a sudden? It''s ridiculous. If you argue, the one who will destroy the three legs and then hold a party on it. Are you going to put up with this? Wow. Jinhyuk-san. You''ve finally become a person... Various reactions came from all over the place. ''I don''t know how I usually react to my image like this.'' I thought I had a pretty good life. Of course, those guys will be punished in their own way for making fun of their mouths. Hold on, everyone. Jinhyeok got up from his seat holding a pork dish. I found the kitchen. Cow, customer? Not only Jeom So-yi, but also the chefs in charge this time were surprised. Of course, that''s the case, as customers who need to eat have come to the place where the food is being prepared first. Of course, when I handed him an earring with a small jewel, everyone''s mouths were shut. Huh? Where did one of my earrings go? I''m sure I was wearing it a while ago. Where did I spill it? It seemed that Alice outside was muttering something, but Jinhyuk pretended not to hear it and passed it on. Are you doing your own cooking even before doing that? Who is that person? I would like to cook something like a thousand things You do it in a variety of ways. "I think I''m more like people who don''t have such a foundation." The sound of shamans chattering echoed through the corner of the restaurant. ''Yes, you don''t even eat meat in your mouth, are you?'' But, it''s not because I hate meat. It''s just that the instinct to eat meat is locked in a deep, deep prison. Pressing with force was not a bad method for education, but . If you break the shaman''s taboo, the pleasure will be doubled. Weaknesses can also be addressed properly. My lips twitched at the thought of chasing these guys like a chess horse sooner or later. ''I''ll make you Poppy next door, who has been starving for about a month.'' [Lv8 ''Different World Restaurant'' is activated!] A soft energy permeated through Jinhyuk''s fingertips. this feeling. this feeling. ''great.'' Whoops! The fire blazed fiercely. Jinhyuk touched the food ingredients with very natural hand movements. neither too much nor too little. The splendid and refined movements were like the skill of a craftsman who has been cooking for decades. Ah oh? What, what is this guest? Even the masters, who were trying to dry them, lost their mind and fell in love with Jinhyuk''s cooking. How many minutes have passed? Things started to happen inside the store. gulp . No, what is this... How does this smell? "No, what on earth are you making inside to smell like this?" What is dog food that you gave us? Hey, Jeom So-yi. Show me what you''re doing inside right now. I''ll give you any money. Obviously, even as they were eating, saliva flowed from everyone''s mouth. Hey, this can''t be. Even the general manager of the masters couldn''t help but be distracted by the appetizing scent. 40 years of cooking experience. He has been working hard every day to survive in this place overflowing with fierce competition and dungeons. However. ...I didn''t learn to cook. fire-handling skills. A subtle blend of seasonings. Even the ability to bring out the taste of the essence of food. This is an area that even imperial masters will not be able to cross. Compared to the dishes that are being made now, the food they put out is just food waste. And the shaman''s masters were equally embarrassed by this situation. Sah, the death penalty. Is this what food...is originally supposed to be? Sah, isn''t it some magic? " " Meat eating is one of the shaman''s taboos. However, if I didn''t eat it, it seemed that the meaning of life would be lost. right then Jinhyuk came out of the kitchen and slowly approached. While holding a steaming dish. CH 308 . Moorim and player (1) Great Disciple, ''Typhoon Sword'' ownership name. The possessive name, which features a frantic sword, was a treasure awaited by the shamans. So Yoo-hyeon deliberately brought her name from Mt. Mudang to this place to show how great the late Jisoo of the shaman is. ''Yes .'' A water lily that cuts bones. Beyond that, he never spent a single day in vain trying to acquire the qualities that would be suitable for a great disciple. It means that he has always whipped himself to raise the shaman''s name. By the way. why the hell Are all those efforts and hardships about to be shaken today? A fragrant smell pierced his nostrils. gulp . Dry saliva ran down the owner''s throat. He was the one who snorted snoring while seeing the many seafood and seafood, but he couldn''t get over the food in front of him. As the priest said, this doesn''t make any sense unless you''ve used Sapa''s wicked magic. Why. Do you want to eat? Well, then I can give you some. If you want, you can. Jinhyuk picked up a large piece of meat with chopsticks and shook it in front of Soyoumyung. It seems like a meat restaurant that moves softly is begging you to eat it right away. Eat. Huh? If you eat this and have one drink, the fatigue you''ve accumulated over the years will go away in one room? The meat moved closer to her lips. The pupils were moving left and right along the meat fragment as if the other priests had already completely passed. As if hypnotized. reflexively. ! In the end, blood spurted on the owner''s neck. To insult the shaman''s master. I will take this disgrace with your neck! kukukuku! At the same time, a terrifying life swept through the inside of the guest cup. The table shook violently, and dust accumulated from the ceiling and pillars flew away. No, why do people want to give you something to eat, so why are you so angry? A shaman''s meat eating is taboo among taboos. Anyone who knows that would dare do such a thing? "Um you don''t know?" what? How do I know what the shaman discipline is? Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders with an innocent face. Well, that''s... Seeing that, the owner was at a loss for words. Come to think of it, it is impossible for anyone outside the tower to know the rules of Moorim. It''s kind of embarrassing, but if they really approached it with good intentions, they were the ones who were rude. at that time. Everyone knows. Not only the shaman, but the rules and rules of all clans. Cheon Yoosung helped out with a single word. Hey! What if I say that! I was disgusted to see you making lamb-like eyes, so the rice wouldn''t go down my throat. So I intervened. Cheon Yu-seong picked up another food and ate it as if he was relieved now. On the other hand. dare . The owner''s face turned completely red. His fingers trembled with shame and anger. Empty the cup! Daddy, metabolic type? If you get involved, even you may not be safe. Take your guests out too. I will compensate you for any damage to food or goods later. But, if the elder knows... "Yunho. What did I just say?" Oh, I see. The priests tried to stop him, but he couldn''t stop it due to the terrifying force of the owner. It was the first time they had ever seen the ambassador so angry. empty mug. Jinhyuk met Soyoumyung face-to-face. "Did you dare play with a shaman Does that mean that you are prepared in your own way?" The one who started the dispute should come first. I am careful to repay you 100 times the grudge even if I repay the favor as it is. I''m going to lose my life because of that absurd principle. Sreung! The owner drew his sword. The blade radiated a dazzling brilliance. ''This made it possible for the two of us to be alone.'' In fact, simply humiliating with food did not mean that the sword was drawn. Unbeknownst to the other priests, the order to kill Jinhyeok was secretly issued between the high-ranking officials of the shaman, Hwasan, and the five generations. In the name of revenge for the dead disciples. ''As long as the elder''s permission has been granted, even if there is a problem, the formal censure will be everything.'' If only I could kill him... In the future, your contribution will be greatly recognized. After completing the calculations up to that point, the owner had a fishy smile on his face. It was a smile that did not go well with her innocent appearance. "Really I wonder how many times you can take my sword from outside the tower." The tip of the sword vibrated subtly. The festival that the shaman is proud of, Taegeukgeom (̫O). It is a sword technique known to reside where the sword is headed. However. ''cute.'' From Jinhyuk''s point of view, all of that was just ridiculous. Even if his teacher, So Yoo-hyeon, comes directly, he will not be able to compete. A great disciple who is far below is black. You''d regret it... What are the regrets. I will yield the three-hab to Hasu. Come first. He muttered something that didn''t even belong to him. Seeing his relaxed expression on his face makes me want to trample him thoroughly. "Then what," In an instant, Jinhyuk''s new model disappeared. When he unfolded ''Gemma Cheonryeongbo'', dust on the floor caught on to the owner''s back before it even touched the ground. Ugh!? A gust of wind escaped the owner''s mouth. I couldn''t help but be surprised at the speed that far exceeded my expectations. But when I realized the gap with my opponent, it was already too late. kwaang! A fist hit the spine. Big! Waist folded with giyeok. In the midst of that, I saw that he was defending himself, but still, being a great disciple is not a bubble at all. Hey! As expected, you''re blocking it well like a constant. I didn''t know you''d react to that. Jinhyuk exclaimed. "This you damn bastard!" Boo-woong! So-myung swung his sword, but Jin-hyeok avoided the attack by a single paper difference. Didn''t I tell you that you''re giving up three numbers? Ah! If you forgot how to count, one followed by two, then two and then three. I even know how to count! Hmm. If you know it and don''t use it properly. That''s more serious. Aww! Breaking the molar, the biting owner raised Kang Ki. Pants! A blue energy completely covered the sword. [Owner name activates ''Thirteen Swords of Taegeuk (̫Oʮ), Type 3''!] I wondered if the sword would be divided into several pieces, and soon it started to cover the entire gaekzan. The shaman''s pride is the Taegeuk sword. It is also the third formula that pours out the power of five stars. I''ll cut you into pieces with this! KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The table was split into dozens of fragments, and huge swords were formed on the pillars. Even if he got caught up in it, his bones could not be deduced. However. There was one thing the owner didn''t know. Even the long storyteller of the shaman... . [Unique ability .] The fact that he couldn''t approach the realm of swordsmanship. [''Sword Graveyard'' is activated.] An indescribable ominous spirit. A black blazing dread bears its shape along its fangs. Even with the same swordsmanship, the level is never the same. The understanding of Basic Form was the same. The atmosphere changed abruptly. I''m thankful for kicking people out. It was hard to imagine that the suffocating pressure was the same as the person who had been smiling slyly a while ago. You don''t have to worry about getting caught. Hey, this can''t be... A low sigh escaped the owner''s mouth. This spirit... . ''Are you saying that you are stronger than Master? A sword shot was fired without any surprise. From left to right. A sword loaded with heavy aerodynamics flew as if it would cut through the heavens and the earth. kwaaang! All of the Sword Qi on the sword that belonged to the one sword disappeared. Just by taking the sword, the recovery speed of the bet could not keep up with the amount consumed. There. The opponent was reading all the swords of the Taegeuk sword that he was unfolding. where to attack Where the next Basic Form continues. all. completely it''s a monster Like a monkey from Mt. Hwagwa playing in the palms of Buddha. Possession felt a wall that could never be crossed. kwaaang! Kaka Kaka! The herbicides that peeled off a single layer of skin unfolded one after another. As the sum increased, the difference widened more violently. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh rough breathing. The owner staggered and stepped back. I couldn''t help but be desperate. Because the Basic Forms I was confident in were completely destroyed. I was really looking forward to it because it uses three types, but this is so disappointing. Taegeukgeom isn''t used that way. I learned completely in vain. Keep! Don''t make fun of me, kill me! I can''t do that. You''re a long-term horse to be treasured. If you just listen to me, I''ll spare you. Don''t be ridiculous. If you die, you''re dead, do you want to hear what you say? Hmm. Yeah? Jinhyuk smiled strangely. At the same time. The fangs'' speed increased by one step. Now, it has been driven at a speed that is beyond cognition. Kaka Kaka Kaka! The river has disappeared. The fangs are also gone. This one... . can not avoid. Soyou-myeong, who had a sense of death, closed her eyes tightly as if resigning. By the way. It wasn''t the sword that flew. A sweet taste spread from his lips. ...? a little. The owner moved the tip of his tongue without realizing it. The umami taste felt on the tongue was special enough to make you forget the fear of death and accumulated fatigue. soil. A large meat fragment passed through it and into the throat. Oh my God. ''How could such a delicious thing exist?'' The harmony of the deep seasoning and the still moist flesh. The years of living only eating grass and beans until now seemed like a fool''s errand. filth filth. Yum Yum. The owner ate the meat like a crab blindfolded. Immediately another meat fragment disappeared. it''s good. The feeling of satisfaction that rose from within could not be compared with any other emotion. He came to his senses after eating 7 pieces of meat. Hey. I''m eating well. I''m eating very well. It was only after hearing Jinhyuk''s voice that he realized that something was wrong with the name. Ugh? Didn''t the shaman''s master tell you that eating meat is taboo? Who, who do you mean? I''ve never eaten meat. Take some grease off your lips and tell me. ! The owner quickly wiped his lips with his sleeve. There are no witnesses anyway. It was fortunate for me to let everyone out. A major disciple of the Shamans lost at Sparring. A voracious gluttony of meat in violation of the taboo. It was decided which of the two to choose. I''m sorry, but players have a ''broadcasting system''. Even without witnesses, you can record what''s happening and save it. What, what? An earthquake occurred in the pupil of the owner. "I knew that those who came from outside the tower were using bizarre magic and magic. no. it could be possible The broadcast system cannot be activated here. Basically, it can only be killed in dungeons or ruins with bosses. However, the important thing is that the possessive name does not know that point. My, what do you want from me? No need to be so scared Because I was just going to make one suggestion that really doesn''t matter. Like, I''m gathering temples. A disciple of the shaman. Join the overseas sales team of Goin-Mul Corporation... . It''s just a good title. CH 309 . Moorim and player (2) Outside the Gaekzan, the parties of the two factions were waiting side by side. The masters from the shaman party spit out laughter. Youngho So. small sage. Soun. The three people who just crossed the terms and conditions were priests and sister-in-law, all of whom had reached their peak. To argue with the great hyung. Due to the opening of the tower, I have had all sorts of rare experiences. In fact, if it weren''t for the guys outside the tower, when would I ever experience something like this? That''s stupid. Hey. Don''t you care about that? We might end up cleaning up a corpse. But, even though it''s open-ended... . Those on the other side showed no reaction. No, to be precise, I was worrying in a different way. "Is there a person called that great hyung alive? But Jinhyuk seems to be in a good mood today ." I may have died brutally by now. The contractor probably won''t kill you. Maybe you can give him a limb? Besides, he said that he would borrow the strength of weak children to fight those gangsters. Oh my God. Confucius Kang is very thoughtful. He talks so casually. Even the content of the conversation was amazing, so from the partisan''s point of view, are they listening properly? Or I was confused as to whether I was hearing hallucinations. Ah, no. Are you all crazy? The possessed name Oraboni is one of the best shamans in the old file room. It''s also the youngest little dragon to reach its climax! So Se-ryung shouted in disbelief. Huh? Transcendence...? Is that strong? Elise tilted her head. What? They didn''t even know what their climax was? Ha! I guess we didn''t even need to talk at all. Leave it alone. After a while, you''ll hit the ground and regret it. Alice''s reaction convinced the three of them. The opponents are outsiders who don''t even know what Mugong''s status is. How many minutes have passed? Rumble! Finally, the unilateral education was over. What appeared when the door opened was none other than the name of the owner. After all, the death penalty! I believed! Looking at how long it took, it must have been very smashed? Didn''t that cheeky bastard leave a corpse behind? The three cheered. By the way. " " The owner''s face was not very good. His face turned white as if he had resigned from everything. And in his right hand was holding a piece of paper. It was not in Chinese characters, so I couldn''t read it, but it was a document that looked similar to a contract. Hey. Moorim''s sunsets are great. I like the cool breeze. Jinhyuk stretched out and appeared from behind. Daddy, metabolic type? How did this happen? Jin-hyeok, who should have been a full-fledged man, is smiling leisurely. Daehyung, who has always been like the sky, looks like a dog with a rolled up tail. No matter how you think about it, this doesn''t make sense. Tell me something... yes? Please say something... The priest and the sister-in-law asked, but the owner could not speak. right then seems to know everything. Elise and Teresa approached. Hey. I''m a senior from above, so let''s do well in the future. Huh? If you get used to it, it''s pretty good. Welfare... it''s not bad. It''s not too late. You might be better off taking your own life. If you want to go without pain, just tell me. I''ll make some special sleeping pills for you. Finally, Cheon Yu-seong patted So-yeon''s shoulder with sad eyes. - As a result of careful consideration, if the situation is neglected, Luoyang may be isolated and then captured. Unlike Moorimmaeng, who is famous for having a high nose, the conclusion came out in one day. quickly and quickly. Based on the information presented by Jinhyuk, the elites of each clan are ready to move. It was decided to occupy wide bases and highways around Luoyang, not Suseongjeon, and block all roads to Luoyang at all. At the same time, the outskirts of Cheonghaeseong, where the headquarters of Heavenly Demon Protestantism is located. A hawk with a sharp impression flew out and sat down on the arm of Master Simma. This. As he read the telegram tied to the hawk''s ankle, the expression on his face darkened slightly. Zhon, we''ve changed the way they react. The place we''re heading to... Know. The man sitting on the throne tapped the throne with his finger. His gaze was directed at the pile of dirt in the center of the room. A military map showing the various bases of Moorim. uuung! When Sima-Ja injected internal air into her fingertips, some of the Kangxi models headed for Luoyang shook. tuk. Tuk... tuk. One, two, three. Models fell left and right. It was exactly the three spots Jinhyuk expected. That''s right. They say they''re heading to the exact place you pointed out. But, how does the Supreme Master know that... Last night. We received information that a disciple of the Dark Huang had entered Luoyang. There is no way that a foolish faction could understand the intentions of the main shrine, which means that he intervened. The bases are... a corporation whose true value is only revealed when you acquire them all, but is it possible that the guy from outside the tower has figured it out? Well, reading the situation must mean that it''s pretty good. Still, it''s surprising. I didn''t know that the numbers could be read before they even started. Because this was information that he didn''t tell the rest of the magicians, of course, to the Sims. ''Hmm... .'' The corners of the sama''s mouth went up. Obviously, the opponent is a small group of children here. Isn''t it natural that it would take several years to figure out what Moorim is like? Yet, to grasp the situation so sharply . ''Indeed, this is the first disciple that the dark hwang received.'' Perhaps we will face a more difficult variable than the entire Moorim League. Did Simma Commander also want to block the variable in advance? added a word. The supreme. The disciple is also a disciple, but shouldn''t we also remove the dark hwang? If he reveals his teeth to us after saving his disciple... there is a risk of being attacked back and forth along with Moorimmaeng. Shall we hit the dark huang now? Yes. I think now is the best time to get rid of him now that the school''s age is at its peak. If you touch that old tiger the wrong way, your climax could be slanted in half. I don''t want to waste my hard-earned power like that. "Amhwang Is that what you mean? If you are uneasy, I will lead the Cheon Han River City and the Yin Yang River City and deal with it." No, it did. Others looked down on the dark hwang, who had been living in their own way for a long time, but . Only Samaza knew. The reason why Amhwang was able to rise to the position of the left-handed method even with only one shadow band consisting of a small number. Because they didn''t need others. Because the dark hwang alone is stronger than a group of thousands of masters. And because the end of that Mugong can''t even be measured with a yardstick. The dark hwang is the main pillar of Heavenly Demon Protestantism until now as the dark hwang. Rather than that, it''s better to wipe out the Moorimmaeng. Now that the situation is like this, let''s stab a little sore spot. I''m curious to see how this number will be dealt with. I''ve been preparing just for this day. A small turbid current cannot go against the sea. Simaja changed his tactics. In the most lethal way for the Moorim League. Among the three options, Jinhyeok chose a hill 100km from Luoyang. To be precise, it was the place the shaman had decided to take over, but that was only on the surface. In reality, Jin-hyeok, who put a leash around the neck of the owner, was leading the Moorim people. Isn''t this the place where the Ley is unstable? Jinhyuk looked around. The main reason I chose this place is because there was something to find here. Yeah. Recently, the flow of Qi has become unstable and there have been several landslides. Thanks to the villagers who reported it to the official, we only found out a few days ago. The owner nodded. I knew it. Natural disasters are occurring due to the collision of yang and yin. The soil, which had a yellowish tint to the point of being uncomfortable, also caught my eye. great. Arrived at exactly the right place. But, is it a bit short? what? Meat. Yum yum. Come on, wait! That''s right. As you said... Whoops. I''ll be careful... The owner clenched his fists with a poopy face. Take good care of your facial expressions. Even if you curse on the inside, you should not show it on the outside. That''s social life. "Keep in mind let''s do it." Sorting the sequence should be like this. The other three didn''t seem to know what they were talking about yet. There''s no need to educate them. As long as you hold on to the name of the owner anyway, the rest will roll on its own. "Then, shall we go and recruit people first?" In this case, the Moorimmeng attracted two more forces besides Goo Pilbang and Oh Dae-se. One was players like Jinhyuk, Teresa, and Cheon Yuseong. Another was the samurai who did not belong to the faction, the green forest, or the general samurai who belonged to the third class. It was to lure money as bait, not honor or cause, but that method worked the most for them. ''If it''s money from Meng, it''s enough for about 30 people.'' There is a fairly large village nearby, so we should gather more people there. But, why do you need other people? If we''re dealing with things like Kangshi, aren''t we enough? Alice rolled her eyes. That''s also true though. There was another reason to follow the advice of the Moorimmaeng and recruit talented people here. ''It must be somewhere in town now.'' In order to recover the lost power by leaving the Heavenly Demon Protestantism. One of the absolutes of the tower is floating in Moorim. The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. It is finally time to meet again. under the sky. The pinnacle of nothingness that does not yield to anyone. Let''s hurry down before the sun goes down. Jinhyuk hastened his steps. How long would you have walked like that? By the time I arrived in town. The party realized that something was wrong. Hey, the village... Soseryeong''s voice trembled softly. burnt out town. Blood, smoke, and death were left in the place where the bloody poems were swept away. Unbelievable . Theresa covered her mouth with her hand. " " Cheon Yu-seong walked silently among the corpses. If there were any survivors, it was for treatment. It is said that there are no weak people in war, but this is too much... Alice also murmured as if pondering the memories of the past. Are you going to come out like this? Jinhyuk looked at the dead mother''s body while holding the child. The direction of the Heavenly Demon Protestantism, which was pursuing speedy speed, has changed. Instead of slowing down, they raided villages along the way and started massacred civilians. As a faction that values the cause, of course, this cannot be overlooked. You have no choice but to abandon your vantage point and go out to save people. ''It''s a cruel, but effective way.'' They could not only disperse their power, but also take full control of the situation depending on where the power was given. Jinhyuk bit his lip. Residents the inhabitants of the tower. I just drew a line because that''s all. He had hinted to himself that some sacrifice was inevitable to climb the tower. However. I couldn''t draw a line while watching this tragedy. '' as soon as you buy it.'' Jinhyuk slowly recalled the name. We have to deal with him quickly. Even to prevent more innocent people from dying. right then kwaaang! Aww! Sah, save me! A scream was heard in the distance. Still, there are survivors. CH 310 . Heavenly Demon (ħ) (1) Inside the small hut, the survivors were still fighting. No, stop! If you come in, we''re all done! Hey! A scene of stacking wood and wielding a sickle and a pickaxe and exerting effort. It seemed more like a last resort than a proper defense. Truly an instant situation. The arm of Heolgangshi grabbed the man''s head. Sah, save me! right then kwaang! The owner jumped off the ground and leapt. A corpse made of magic is trying to harm people! A blue stream rose up along the sword. Keek! As the Basic Form of ''Taegeuk Sword'' unfolded, the heads of the bloody poems were fragmented as they were. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a major disciple of the shaman. Because the blood gangs were being swept away without even being able to properly counterattack. one sum. two sums... three sum. In the blink of an eye, So-myung, who had organized more than seven blood gangs, wiped the blood off his sword. Hey. It''s pretty good, but it''s a new hire? It''s like looking at the old days of a contractor. It''s worthwhile. I''ll leave it to that friend who doesn''t want to be left behind. "Indeed, it''s the person Jinhyuk chose." The praise continued, but a dark shadow was cast on the owner''s face. The joy of saving people was also due to the fact that he realized the reality he was in for a while. Go, thank you. I thought it was all wrong... Black black. Was it because of the relief of being alive? The people who were relaxed sat down on the spot. It was a village where more than hundreds of people lived, but fewer than 30 people survived. If only ten lectures were like this... . Depending on the route, the damage could grow exponentially. Please share some of this first. I will only ask you a few questions after you breathe. Jinhyuk took water and barley bread from the subspace inventory and gave it to the people. After a moment''s sigh, the haggard face returned to life little by little. I''m an old man who takes on the role of the village chief. First of all, I think I should say thank you once again for saving my life. If it weren''t for the great people, all of them would have died. The old man bowed deeply and expressed his gratitude. But, what did you guys come to this village for? The purpose was to deal with those who attacked here... and there''s another person I''m looking for. Are you looking for someone? Jinhyuk glanced around. Everyone is busy taking care of the wounded and preparing for an additional attack by the gangsters. Even if we chat for a while, it won''t attract attention. Do you know any of the surviving people who recently entered this town? If Heavenly Demon left Heavenly Demon Protestantism and came to Luoyang, that would have happened in the near future. For those who have lived together all their lives, strangers are bound to stand out. " Actually, one person. There is a young man who came here five days ago." The old man nodded. Is that person here now? Yes that''s right. I knew it. I came here to regain my inner strength. Because there was only one place in the entire Moorim where the harmony of yin and yang collided. Who is it? Oh. Don''t point. Talk as if you''re having a normal conversation, just describe what the person looks like. If I tell you this, you will know enough. A man with a strange sword on the nape of his neck. He is the kind of person that great people are looking for. wounds on the nape of the neck. Jinhyuk''s eyes moved like lightning. Among those who do supernatural energy . ''found.'' He looked quite emaciated as if he was dusty and hungry, but . Only the eyes are still alive. No, the glare of his eyes shining sharply through his ponytail was more bitter than Master. The wound on his neck looked like it was scratched by an animal rather than a swordsman. thank you. Jinhyuk stood up. Heavenly Demon (ħ). It is the calamity of Manma and refers to Madhu who leads the Heavenly Demon Protestantism. ''Heavenly Demon Protestantism as a single faction fought an affair with all of the old and five generations. All thanks to the presence of an absolute called Heavenly Demon.'' However. The bird that flew the highest one day had its wings broken. The king who received everyone''s awe and envy... . It is no longer found on the throne. Why did you fight the 50th floor? Why did he give up everything he had? I don''t know why. I just wanted to know everything from now on. Jinhyuk slowly approached the man. Can I sit next to you? " " The man did not respond to Jinhyuk''s words. However, Jinhyuk accepted non-response as a kind of permission. dump. As I sat down next to him, the man finally responded. I didn''t say I could sit down. Did you say you don''t like it if you don''t like it? You''re a shameless bastard. Or do you mean that you can ignore the doctors of people who live on grass? I''ve taken care of the gangsi and even provided a meal, so isn''t this enough? He smiled slyly and gave a good reason. As if he couldn''t think of anything to refute, the man let out a small sigh. do whatever you want. In the past, I had never seen a bare face because I was a thousand years old, so I didn''t know. ''You look a lot better than I thought.'' Heavenly Demon also looked similar to other ordinary people. No, it would be more correct to have clean skin and a sharp impression thanks to the metamorphosis of bones. Jinhyuk activated his ''Eyes of Gluttony'' and carefully looked at his opponent. T-tiring! Name: Baek Il-ha Gender: Male Age: ?? level: ??? strength ??? Agility ??? health ??? mana 7 inner hole ??? Stat Points you have: 0 Unique Ability: Heavenly Demon skill: ''Heavenly Demon Ruler (ħR)'' Lv?? , ''The Thousand Death River'' (욢) Lv??, ''Heavenly Demon'' Lv??, ''Heavenly Demon Anti-tangi (ħ)'' Lv?? There are too many types of skill, so it will be in a folded state. [Copy Condition: Currently, the Heavenly Demon has almost exhausted its epicenter due to the battle with the beings on the 50th floor. It is impossible to rediscover the inner workings of the past. However, if you can help the Heavenly Demon regain his dexterity, he will be able to copy one of his unique abilities and skills.] [Special Condition: You can enter Heavenly Demon''s memory with one chance. At this time, depending on your prior understanding of Heavenly Demon and Heavenly Demon Gods, the degree of completion of the copied Heavenly Demon Gods varies. (Maximum 10 stars)] Climbing the upper floors of the tower with ease. After that, in order to reach the 50th floor... . You must acquire the Heavenly Demon Godsong. This is a must, not an option. ''With and without Heavenly Demon, the speed of breaking through the 40th floor is more than 7 times different.'' In particular, the Nordic divinities and the Sacred beasts belonging to their Territory were specialized in face-to-face combat based on overwhelming power and ignorant mana. Of course, in order to fight them, you will need the ability to match them. ''The Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong and the superpowers are also very helpful, but the most effective is the Heavenly Demon Goddess.'' Usually, through fusion, the abilities of the higher version were acquired. Heavenly Demon is a flawless ability that has no higher abilities above it. ''Fenrirna Joorganmund... It''s also good for coming.'' Above all else, having a debt to Heavenly Demon is helpful in many ways when thinking about the future. The conditions for copying are difficult, but I''ll have to find a way somehow. Can''t you stop pretending to know me now? You must have heard about me from Master anyway. Jinhyuk finished the tiring snowball fight first. Samaza betrayed the Heavenly Demon, but the Dark Emperor did not betray the Heavenly Demon. Not simply relying on power and riding on the piggyback, but purely believing in and following Heavenly Demon. Even after losing everything, he is still loyal to the Heavenly Demon. at last. ...I heard that the Friendship Act made disciples. They said that they would never make disciples for the rest of their lives. It''s only in their later years that this happens. It''s against strangers from outside the tower who are neither Magicians nor Moorims. Heavenly Demon let out a complicated laugh. "It''s a strange thing to be in a relationship." It seems so. So. Why did the disciple of Friendship Beop come to this place so far? From now on, this is the main point. That day. Can you tell me what happened...? When referring to the wounds of the past, the corners of Heavenly Demon''s eyebrows curve backwards. But it was only for a while. Because I had one of the crowns... those who shouldn''t have passed have come over. ...! This time, Jinhyuk was surprised. Hopefully, the crown will come out of Heavenly Demon''s mouth. Relics that must be collected to reach the top of the tower. Did you mean you had one of them? Looking at the reaction, it seems that you are aware of the existence of the crown. I''ve heard of it. Jinhyuk did not deny it. "If you look at what Heavenly Demon also said in the past tense you mean that you don''t have it now?" Yeah, but don''t worry. They didn''t take it away. At the last minute, I threw my crown off the floor. Yes? So. Abandoned the most important treasure in the tower? Are you going to pay it downstairs too? Heavenly Demon, who saw Jinhyuk''s expression of soul leaving, hurriedly added a word. Great! I know it''s ignorant. But wouldn''t that be better than being taken away by them? That''s amazing. There must be a monster that can break through the floor of the tower with personal power. "Do you have any regrets ?" I fought with them until I lost all my strength. He succeeded in defeating the beings on the 50th floor, but the cost was too great. "This seat I have no regrets." Heavenly Demon spoke calmly. Is it the truth without a single lie? Is it a lie you tell yourself to get out of despair? The sun slowly set over the mountain. day goes by night has come Deep in the morning when everyone is asleep. Jinhyuk took out the Mugong secret book he had brought from the Mist Office. [Secret book is open!] [The secret book written by the second Heavenly Demon ''Baekwolcheon'', the conclusion of the ''Blood Soul Mind Method'' unfolds.] [Magyo''s understanding of all Mugongs increases by 370%!] [You may fall into QiGong Deviation if you use the deep method for a long time!] A double-edged sword that can help you learn magic, but at the same time make the caster go crazy. This is a secret book written by Baek Wol-cheon himself when he reached the height of the extreme. It was impossible to understand the written mind method and Basic Form because it was so difficult, but just absorbing the demonic energy in the book will be a great help in understanding the Heavenly Demon Gods. ''Whoa... .'' Jinhyuk controlled the demonic energy that ran wild in his body through ''Black Heaven''s Demon Hwanggong'' and ''Hyeolmagi''. There, when the ''special condition'' was opened, a cold mana swallowed her whole body. [Read Heavenly Demon''s memory.] Jinhyuk quietly closed his eyes. And when I open my eyes again... . kukukuku! All the scenery around him had changed. The sky dyed purple. Between the rising stones and rock fragments . Heavenly Demon appeared. brightly. arrogantly. The absolute man of Moorim, who saw everything, stood with his sword drawn out. Like a bamboo standing upright in the middle of a typhoon. The one facing him is an ancient being with countless mouths and teeth. Shub Nigurs. Because it manifested as a lower level of the tower, the body''s strength was extremely limited, but its existence itself was sufficient to overwhelm all living things. Just looking at it creates cracks in the space and changes the terrain. An out-of-standard divinity that transcends the laws of physics moved to erode the floor. However. Heavenly Demon did not frighten or back down despite the momentum. ''That''s the Heavenly Demon in its heyday... .'' You have to keep it with both eyes. Every move and every move. And what the Heavenly Demon''s truth is. [Understanding: 0%] Come. Mother of the black sheep. I will try to gauge the depth of its power. Kee-e-e-e! The battle that will remain in the history of the tower has begun. CH 311 . Heavenly Demon (ħ) (2) This is a memory of the past. written on the tower. And . ''It is a memory that no one but me will ever see again.'' Jinhyuk looked at the things in front of him calmly. in a lonely landscape. There is no happy ending in a fight with a fixed ending. Heavenly Demon will lose everything, and Moorim will not remember his achievements. The Heavenly Demon Protestantism will also turn away from the Heavenly Demon, and all that he has accomplished will be tainted by Samaza. Yet why? Jinhyuk wanted to capture this fight with his own two eyes. " " Heavenly Demon''s sword stretched forward. It just stretched forward. Heavenly Demon. meal is complete. The power that a Heavenly Demon could rule over this world as a Heavenly Demon. as if responding to it. kukukuku! The heavens shook violently. Formula 1 (һʽ). Kanggi, raised by the ''Heavenly Demon Gods'', completely covered the sword and spouted over 5m in length. The tangible flag soon took on the shape of a Dragon. ''Exit from Heaven''. How deep is it that such nonsensical art is possible? However, without any surprise, the space tore apart, and dozens of black goats poured out. Keiyi...! Kie-ee! A creature that can destroy the entire world one by one. It was also twice as big as the guy who came out with Outbreak. ''Did they even come to those who could only be seen on the 50th floor... .'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. ''Denebola'', which is a high-level intent body. The Denebolas holding long spears were completely different from the mana they were exhaling. Googuk... . Denebola, who was at the forefront, greatly tilted her spear-held shoulder back. Paang! The spear was thrown with a roar. As the trees were smashed, a huge 10m-long spear rushed towards the body of the Heavenly Demon. It''s not a level of piercing. Even if you rub it, it will be torn to the extent that it is difficult to recognize its shape. However. [''Heavenly Demon Ruler'' is activated!] No matter how strong the attack is. If you don''t hit it, all premises are meaningless. Aww! Chang blew up the place where the Heavenly Demon was. Of course, the appearance of Heavenly Demon had already disappeared. The place that appeared was between Denebola. fast. This is ''Heavenly Demon''s reign''. Its unique subversive footwork is more powerful and faster than the sword demon Cheonryeongbo created through fusion. [Increased understanding of Heavenly Demon.] A status window appeared in front of Jinhyuk. ''It helps just by looking at it.'' Just before taking off, I noticed that my foot subtly kicked the ground three times in a row. It must be a preparatory move to maximize acceleration. Condensing the qi there and then splitting it into two explosions at the end was also possible because it could be observed from a third person''s point of view. ''The Mugong secret book of the 2nd Heavenly Demon obtained from the Mistweaver also exceeded expectations.'' Above all, the environment where you can concentrate on analyzing the battle alone also contributed greatly to understanding the Heavenly Demon god. now! A black wind blew right away. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Heavenly Demon''s sword moved endlessly. Aaaaaah! Kee! Denebola''s limbs were cut off. gurggle! Black blood gushed out like a waterfall from the cut surface. The Denebolas frantically wielded their spears and counterattacked, but it was not enough to stop the Heavenly Demon''s sword. ''How can the process leading to Equations 2 and 3 be so natural?'' An exclamation burst out of Jinhyuk''s mouth. Basic Form optimized without waste. It was the first time my heart was beating like this and the adrenaline rushed like this. It''s a natural thing. Depending on the level of understanding you raise now, the perfection of Heavenly Demon''s new work will also change. Mugong so strong. Unlike in the past, I was able to obtain it so quickly. How can you not be excited? While watching the sword with all your attention, the number of Denebolas decreased rapidly. seventeen... nine three. kuung! kuuung! Of the dozens of gigantic beasts, not one was standing now. right then Shub Niguras, who had been silent, finally moved. Indeed, you are a bastard with the ''crown of defeat''.... With a strong body... a holy relic that can come into our realm. You are a threat. one step. With a single step, one of the strongest beings in the tower announced the start of the war. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The soil was plowed up, and a shock wave blew up the entire mountain. The terrain has completely changed. Even though I know now that all of these are memories of the past, I feel like my whole body is on the verge of a mana wave just before. It has this kind of power even though it is subject to all kinds of restrictions. I can''t think of anything else to say other than that I''m crazy. However. Even in the ruins that left no trace, the Heavenly Demon still did not lose its momentum. This time, it''s the main seat''s turn. Blood dripped down his forehead, but his eyes were still alive. yet . It''s not over. [[Baek Il-ha is Lv??] ''Heavenly Demon'' is activated!] A red flag covers the sky. The floor shook and the clouds cracked. This one is Heavenly Demon. He is an absolute being who has transcended people in a human body and has reached the end of nothingness. Is it a number close to self-destruction? It''s a disappointing number... I''m sorry. You''re underestimating the power I have. That''s why you''re dying today. Black smoke billowed around Shub Niguras'' body. like that. Aww! Qi and Qi collided. The whole tower seemed to shake at a wavelength beyond imagination. " .." Red blood gushed from Heavenly Demon''s mouth. Yes. The balance of power was broken in the first place. Even if you use Jinwonjingi, it would be impossible to kill your opponent. A fleeting moment, less than a second, Twelve heart swords appeared over the shoulder of the Heavenly Demon. There are as many as 12 deep swords that are said to be the realm of the gods with just one. They are all using this as a sword technique. You are... Don''t predict the end of the power of this seat. The heartbeat disappeared at the same time. front and back left and right. Kaka Kaka Kaka! KwaKwaKwa Kwa Kwa Kwa! A storm-like attack engulfed Shub Niguras'' body. Aaaaaah! Shub Nigarus'' screams are probably more from anger than pain. Because a human less than a worm had inflicted some wounds on his body. Fingers tingle Right now... I want to follow that sword. that sword. that sword. And watching it all in front of your eyes. Jinhyuk began to draw another image in his head. too bad. Because I am not confident in that place right now. Because it''s not me who''s fighting over there right now. I''m so sorry it''s crazy More than anything. ''If it''s my country... I would do it differently... .'' ''A little more from there... The trajectory of the sword... .'' ''If I had turned on the flow of qi... .'' And that''s when the thought went crazy. [The level of perfection of Heavenly Demon''s new skill rises to a very high level.] A golden status window appeared. How much time has passed? It was pretty good. Humans... well. I don''t have the strength to put an end to it because of the restrictions... But I''ve accomplished the purpose of coming here anyway. Compliments for the opponent flowed out of Shub Niguras'' mouth. The long fight is finally over. " " Heavenly Demon looked down at his body with sunken eyes. I no longer feel the energy in the place where there is a danjeon. Because I used up the roundabout. There was no strength left to endure any longer. complete criminal. No, it would not be easy to even move like a normal person now. At least, just before the last flame goes out, the limit is to be able to move at least once. However, it was almost impossible to inflict a fatal wound on the opponent with just that one shot. Shub Niguras was also certain of victory. As the threat dissipated, the toothed branches slowly stretched out toward the Heavenly Demon. Crown... a cursed relic that can reach our realm... The purpose of the Heavenly Demon was to acquire the symbol of nothing, which means ''defeat'' among the seven crowns. Although it was close, it was possible to take the crown before the system reverse summoned it. By the way. Do you think this will pass smoothly? Just before fainting, the Heavenly Demon threw the black crown it had in its arms. the last remaining flag. It was poured into throwing rather than escaping or counterattacking. Boo woo woo... . kwaaang! Aaaaah! Oh, no! The branches of Shub Niguras quickly flew towards the crown. But, it''s already too late. The crown that broke the floor began to fall into an unknown place. Yes. Jinhyuk knew it was going to go like this. the problem is. ''Unbelievable .'' An earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk''s pupil. that had no choice but to Crown... I saw where it fell. Because he was a bystander, he was able to see everything that was invisible from the eyes of Heavenly Demon or Shub Niguras. ''there Was it there?'' [All memories of Heavenly Demon are over.] It was still early in the morning when the sun came back to reality. The hut where tired people slept was quite quiet. Only one. Except for the Heavenly Demon. Did you even have a nightmare? There was a sound of moaning and pain. "I had a little uncomfortable dream." I glimpsed the memory of the Absolute who was abandoned without being rewarded. As I looked at the wounded present, I felt the bitter aftertaste doubled. Dreams are said to be a mirror that reflects the dissatisfaction inherent in reality. Even if you don''t know what it is, if you have something in it, please tell it. Then it will be a little easier. "Then can I ask you what I said last time?" Are you talking about the question of not having any regrets? Yes. If one''s efforts are forgotten and rather abandoned by everyone... I think it would be difficult for me to accept the end. Is the uncomfortable dream a dream about the main seat? Really... Those who come from outside the tower peek into the minds of others at will. Heavenly Demon thought for a moment. finally. He seemed to reminisce about that time. ...we fought against an enemy that transcends cognition. We defended the world we are now on our own two feet. Even if someone can''t remember, that''s the only thing the main staff remembers. Heavenly Demon said. no regrets There is no lie in those words. At least, that was the case with the Heavenly Demon in Jinhyuk''s own memory. ''Even if there is no approval from anyone, I just need to remember this.'' indeed Heavenly Demon-like words. Believing that everything you do is the best, and willing to take responsibility for it. Because that''s the way the Heavenly Demon lived. Is there an answer? Enough. Thanks to you, I have a clear decision on how to take the direction. Jinhyuk nodded his head. But right then. kwaaang! The barrier spread out near the hut was smashed. "If you thought that you could hide by spreading a web like this, you were making a stupid decision that made you goosebumps." It was none other than the fourth place in the ranks of magicians who appeared with hundreds of Kangsi. it''s a simma command CH 312 . fight of the dead (1) The number of hyeolgangsi reached three digits. There were fifteen yin and yang gang poems that could barely be stopped by sticking to the top five. In addition to that, Sura thousand-year-old Gangsi, who is known to be able to deal with an ultra-high-class master with just the two of them. It is a huge number of troops that can be called one army. And in the middle of it . I saw someone wearing a black robe. Simma command. Kang Si and Shamanism, as well as masters who are proficient in cancer techniques. There was no objection to its strength enough to occupy the fourth rank in Heavenly Demon Protestantism, where only the strong were gathered. Damn it. There''s not a single day I''m comfortable with. If I go out with you, I won''t be able to sleep until I want? Cheon Yu-seong, who reacted one step late, growled. It seemed as if my eyes were still open and my sleep was disturbed. Medical students say they don''t sleep more than 3 hours a day, but I don''t know why this guy is so sleepy. Oh my gosh... Go, there are so many gangsters... Ugh... There are too many, but too many. There are no places to escape. A shadow fell on the faces of the villagers, who were feeling relieved that they lived there. There were many times more than the ones I encountered at first... . Of course, I can only feel hopeless. Great, great. The village chief also called Jinhyuk in a trembling voice. ''It''s pretty good. On the way to this place, there was a triple alarm barrier, but it was all destroyed.'' There were also many gangsters in the hut where Ellis and Teresa were. Seeing that the Demon Spirit came in person, he must have expected us to be here in advance. As well as targeting civilians. As well as reading this number first. It seems to be quite difficult in the first few fights. ''I was going to start without losing any of the bases, but looking at the situation, I must assume that the other side has already fallen into their hands.'' The most difficult enemy during the 27 personal battles. Each time, he had a hard time using a new tactic to suit the situation. Thanks to that, I failed a lot of attacking the floor. ''You can stop worrying about boredom again this time.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips rose subtly. An exhilarating tension that overturns predictions and turns them into pieces of tissue paper. It''s a feeling I''ve felt for a long time. Hey. It''s completely caught in a lot of big fish. To the shaman''s bastards, to the dark emperor''s disciple... An earthquake occurred in the pupil of the demon spirit, who was slowly scanning the hut. Huh? No, what is this? His gaze was directed to a shabby, bald man. Puhahaha! No, what kind of a Heavenly Demon is this? Anyone who sees it would know what kind of goblin is here. Simma Commander... Heavenly Demon opened his mouth slowly. The voice was low, but there was no weight in it. I''m really sorry that I lost my strength. I was skeptical when Jwahobeop said it, but now I''m sure I will believe it. I mean that choosing him was the right thing to do. Samaja is not a vessel to become a Heavenly Demon. No, he is the vessel that can make all of Moorim''s dreams come true. He is too big for a toothless tiger to swallow. No matter how strong the drug is... . Can you say this to someone who once swore allegiance? Jinhyuk rubbed his mouth as if bitter. ''I''ll have to quickly find a way to regain my inner Gong.'' I don''t want to see a guy like Samajah rise and someone like Heavenly Demon down. Watching such an absurd ending, it seemed like it would be difficult to tolerate myself. Besides, if I wanted to copy the Heavenly Demon god, I had to solve it anyway. right then The commander-in-chief waved his hand. It''s easy enough to wipe out the trash, but let''s hold a small ball to show the greatness of the newly born Heavenly Demon Protestantism. The rivers retreated left and right. The wall, which had been stacked on top of each other, opened, revealing the hut where Ellis and Teresa were staying. The three were also awake from the sudden attack and came out. Tell me. Who is the strongest among you? By killing the strongest one, he proves that Kang Si-Sul is the Mugong of Cheon-O-Cheon. No matter how strong the sect is, the players from outside the tower run wild. I will make a clear impression that it is only a trivial force in front of the world of magic. It''s probably not the shaman''s trembling... The commander''s gaze turned to the side. ! A spark flashed in the eyes of the owner who received the nomination. If you stand still while listening to these provocations, you are not a shaman''s master. How dare that horde of evil magicians... despise the shaman! The death penalty! Just give me the order. I''ll go right away and kill them all! So Yeong-ho and Soun-gun also put a ponytail on their necks. However, the name of the owner could not easily come out. Because he wasn''t the strongest here. When the name of the owner did not come out, the sassy queen moved. Fufu. That is, of course, a great and noble burden... Alice gently stroked her dark hair. Elise. Huh? wait. Jinhyuk stopped Alice from raising her hand high. And instead, he took a step forward. After all, it was you. A disciple of the Dark Emperor. He looked at Jinhyuk as if Shim Ma had expected it. -I knew it. The monster that subdued me, the great disciple of the shaman, is probably the strongest among them. -Ugh... Yes. Well, if you''re a contractor, I''ll help you anyway, so in terms of overall combat power, you''re right! - Mr. Jinhyuk... . Leave the rear to me. Everyone''s eyes turned to Jinhyuk. By the way. No, there''s someone stronger than me. A person stronger than you? Yes. Jinhyuk pushed Cheon Yoosung''s back with his hand without anyone stopping him. uh? Cheon Yu-seong took a few more steps forward. Because it gave them quite a bit of strength, they almost reached the front of the rivers. it''s thick The smell of rotting corpses reached the tip of Cheonyuseong''s nose. He''s a disciple of Chuhonsayeong. To be honest, even if everyone else including me attacked, wouldn''t this guy be okay? Ho-oh. Is this the one who inherited the Chuhon Sword? That''s interesting. Hey! You! What do you think of this... Whoa! Cheon Yu-seong hurriedly swung his sword. kwaang! Even with the sword raised, the balance of the body collapsed in one blow. Sura thousand-year-old Gangshi swung his nails with a terrifying force. bang! bang! Aww! neck, heart, chest. All of them are desperate, aiming only at the vital points. Wow! A tense light emanated from Cheon Yoo-seong''s face, who used ''Song of the Sword''. He was somehow accepting it as a sword dance, but that was the limit. No matter how natural you are, you cannot guarantee victory against such a monster. At least, unless it''s in an open place like this, where you can limit your opponent''s movement... . The worries didn''t last long. Cheon Yoo-sung kicked his seat and ran. You. I''ll definitely remember this. Even if I die... I won''t forget this... well! Remember it carefully. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah While Cheon Yoo-seong was escaping into the forest, he shouted at Jin-hyeok, a whale whale. Well. also runs well A true strong man must have quick legs. Separating the most annoying superlative lectures gave me a lot more leeway. As the nature disappeared, the loosened air began to tighten again. You used one of your comrades as a discard card. Um? Did you know? My eyes aren''t knotholes. I know he''s strong, but I know he''s not as strong as yours. hoo. It''s not stupid at all, isn''t it? But why did you match my rhythm? At Jinhyuk''s question, a fishy smile appeared on the corner of his lips. If I can''t deal with you just because I don''t have one ... I didn''t even come here in the first place. The highlight of tactics is surprise. In order to move large-scale troops without being noticed by anyone, he used space movement through Jinbeop. The sacrifices included here alone amounted to hundreds of men and women. And. All of this is to complete the premise of success. Look. What does it mean to rule the river. A drop of blood dripped from his fingertips. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Red energy spurted out along the floor. Ahhhh...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Keeek! Blood-based ''blood Shamanism''. An ominous energy permeated into the bodies of the Gangshis. [Symma Spirit activates the unique ability ''Fellowship of the Spirit''!] [The stats of the dead are increased by 30%!] [The stats of the living are reduced by 30%!] There was blood in the eyes of the gangsters. My muscles expanded rapidly, and my nails grew almost twice as large as usual. again... . again. The clear liquid dripping from the black nails is a poison brought from the blood cult. There. [You have suffered a condition.] [Visual and tactile senses become dull.] [Your sense of balance is reduced by 10% compared to normal.] The red status window started to appear like crazy just by being in the realm. indeed. There is a reason why the commander Shim has come forward with confidence. Only then, unless it''s Gangshi, fighting inside would be suicidal. But that''s it. You''re not the only one with the power to make a corpse. Khahaha! It''s ridiculous. How many pieces of gangsi have been manufactured? No, they''re much more reliable than Gangshi. Gangshi is not necessarily included in the category of the dead. Come out. A subspace was opened behind Jinhyuk''s back. Pants... ! A blizzard as white as snow arose from beyond the huge space. A terrifying cold began to flow over. multifaceted. multifaceted. It was then that the sound of horseshoes resounded. A Death Knight whose body was covered in black armor. T-bone. And behind them were ancient soldiers with spears engraved with runes. The appearance of everyone in line on a ghost warhorse created the illusion that the Demon King army had invaded the real world. master. T-Bone bowed his head deeply. Since he poured out all the mana he had invested in other places, T-Bone''s appearance was the perfect Death Knight''s, just like the one seen in the dreamy paradise. Don''t let anyone disturb me while I''m dealing with him. The goal is only one boss. The rest of the daggers are left to T-Bone and the ancient soldiers. Leave it to me. T-Bone drew his sword across the horse. OK. Puffy! puck! The ground shook. The dead who were buried here long ago rise. Skeletons coming up through the ground. die by thieves. Demons trampled on by magic. He answered the call of the new owner. With this, the numbers are equal. ''The lack of quality... That''s all it takes.'' Jinhyuk brought up another ability in ''Memory of the World''. [The unique ability ''Swarm''s Core'' is activated!] along the ground. tsutsutsutsutsu ! Blue mana happened. As if against the powers of Simma Spirit. Energy of different colors collided in the air. In the sparks that bounce off black. Then let''s get started. Jinhyuk''s left hand has ''fangs''. And in his right hand he held the ''Double Dragon Sword''. CH 313 . fight of the dead (2) Undead. Those who die and do not die. They were characterized by endless wealth and covetousness for the living. And. The apex of the sword that commands them... . It''s the ''Death Knight''. [T-Bone activates Lv15 ''Darkness Blade''!] Pants! A black Aura blade rose along the white sword. A dark light blazed in the empty pupil. T-Bone, who had a perfect figure, could not find a playful appearance like before. There are only knights who obey their master''s orders. Hey hey! fault! T-Bone pulled the ghost horse''s reins and began to gallop forward. The distance was short enough to keep the speed characteristic of heavy cavalry, but it doesn''t matter. For a ghost warhorse, acceleration is something they have from the beginning, not something they create. Kie-ee! Keeek! The bloodsuckers reflexively rushed. As long as it was strengthened by Jinbeop, there was nothing to be afraid of for Kangsi. Nails that can cut even a piece of iron lightly, and legs that are dramatically faster. These two would be enough to tear the horsemen apart. The rivers gathered in a dense formation. Break through. Doo doo doo doo doo! T-Bone spurred the pace in the lead. The rest of the ancient soldiers also stretched out their long spears forward. wedge-shaped. The destructive power that was maximized through one point penetrated the heart of the strong men. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! In an instant, the gangsters in the first row were shattered. T-Bone swung his sword and slashed through his enemies, followed by a stab that the ancient soldiers had measured with a ruler. like a bullet. puck! Puffy! There was a round hole in the body of the hyeolgangsi. And the gap that T-bones and ancient soldiers had drilled. Moongrass! Moongrass! Numerous skeletons pushed forward like a wave. This is the Undead Legion. Unbelievable. Master Sim''s eyes widened. I''ve heard that there are techniques for dealing with the dead on floors other than Moorim. However. Overwhelming blood gangs with the use of ''Fellowship of the Spirit''? Does that make sense? With this level of blood, it is enough power to turn one faction into a slaughterhouse in half a day. nevertheless. kuung! Skeleton knights sprinkling vicious energy overwhelm all fights. The rest of the knights and skeletons attacking together are just as annoying. Nearly half of the bloodshed has already become incapacitated. At this rate, annihilation would only be a matter of time. " It''s pretty good. I hate to admit it, but I can''t compete with blood gangs." Master Sim nodded his head. OK. Chun! Along with the sound of the wind, the rivers, whose whole body was dyed white, moved. They were the yin and yang gangs that were specially brought to deal with the top-notch masters. In contrast to the red left hand, the white frozen right hand. yin and yang. The attribute of Sanggeuk aimed at the neck of T-Bone. "It would be enough to put three together." A mischievous smile appeared on the corner of the demon''s lips. But right then. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo [The unique ability ''Star Blessing'' is activated!] A holy light fell from the sky. Teresa, armed with white armor, intervened between T-Bone and Yin-Yang Kang Si. Kaaan! The claws were blocked by the shield and bounced off. I''ll join you. Brilliant blonde hair flew through the helmet. The ''Holy Relics of Joan of Arc'' and the Holy Cross sword received from the Holy Kingdom belonging to the Empire radiated a brilliance that made my eyes ache. Kie-ee! Kee! Facing the white brilliance, the rivers let out screams of pain. The divine power of supremacy with the undead. Teresa''s existence itself was fatal to gangsters. There. [You used ''Blood Spear''!] Boo woo woo... . Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Harpoons made of blood pierced Yin Yang Kang Shi''s body. Aww! The yin and yang gangsters, whose bodies were shackled, scrambled their limbs. Huh. It''s pretty solid. Black hair like jet black that goes well with black eyes. Elise, in the form of a Moorim, summoned harpoons in succession. You mustn''t let a single one pass through! Yes! Metabolic! You can''t just leave it all to people from outside the tower. So-myeong and his priests also spread out a wide square to protect the people. As if they had been training harshly since they were young, the passing squad that the four of them played together was very strong. Aww!... to make it a nuisance. As the situation progressed unfavorably, the commander Simma let out a voice mixed with irritation. After all, as long as the Spirit''s kin is active, the rest of them will probably only be able to hold out. If only those spirited cavalry were eliminated, the victory would lean this way again. If that''s the case, I''ll have to go on my own. It''s annoying, but it takes a little bit of hand. Sreung! The Demon Spirit drew out two daggers. A unique shape of a sword bent in the shape of a half moon was revealed. By the way. Have you not forgotten? Your opponent is me. A terrifying voice could be heard in the demon''s ears. Suddenly!? Jinhyuk grabbed the back of Commander Sim Ma. Kaga... ! Just as the fangs were about to pierce the nape of the neck, Commander Simma raised the dagger at an angle and let the attack flow. A sharp rustling sound rang out. Obviously, there were five yin and yang gang poems attached... Are you saying you''ve dealt with them all? It''s only about five, so there''s nothing difficult. At least, I would have saved more time if I had left about Sura Thousand Years Old. The tower I climbed alone. In the past, he had dealt with all the Gangshis alone. I''ve had a lot of failures and a lot of setbacks. It''s a natural thing. Because I had to solve a near impossible task on my own without anyone''s help. However. I''m not alone this time There were colleagues whom I could trust and rely on. With such strong support... . don''t have confidence Jill herself. Other people are fighting hard, so let''s see the end. There will also be a stage. It''s time to decorate the climax in a splendid way. Do you think you can defeat me in this place where Blood Shamanism unfolds? Forced nerf of all stats. It is certainly not easy to fight and win against a strong person who is about the same as Simma Spirit. But only one. Even in this Shamanism, there is an unconstrained ability. -Heavenly Demon Godgong (ħ). Mugong of the heavenly stream free from constraints and bridles. The strongest and worst ability allowed only to Heavenly Demons. Jinhyuk quietly closed his eyes. Pacchut! A strange energy emanated from the tip of the sword. Because he had not yet achieved the condition of radiation, he could not use that power to its fullest. Yes. In other words, this is just an imitation. Compared to the original source, it is far short and falling. However. Through the memories of Heavenly Demon, the rescue and... Above all, I saw the essence of the Mugong. firmly. arrogantly. He thinks only of himself and leaves no regrets or regrets. Look carefully. The person you betrayed... who you were. And how stupid you were to choose something like Samaza. I will tell you from now on. Jinhyuk opened his eyes. reproduce the sight I saw then. The fangs and the twin dragon swords took different spacings. That is . It''s a start. kwaaang! ''Equation 1''. The tangible energy along the fangs exploded in an instant. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The Heavenly Dragon Appears! The sword wind that followed the sword attack engulfed the whole body of the Demon Spirit. Aww! Although the attack was offset through the half-moon sword, it was not possible to receive all of the absurd sword pressure. The black robe he was wearing was torn, revealing his arms. That Basic Form... no, how could you... how the hell! Commander Simma couldn''t even speak. His voice trembled violently because he was so shocked. I couldn''t help but be surprised. Heavenly Demon Godong is a unique Mugong that can only be used by Heavenly Demon. Didn''t even Samajah break dozens of taboos to learn the new Heavenly Demon? Jinhyuk took a stance again in front of the trembling demon spirit. "If you have more cards you better take them out right now." Whoops! An even greater river blazed through the twin dragon swords. one step away from behind. Heavenly Demon watched the fight silently. " " It''s a complicated mind. Now his Mugong is no longer available. Because it was being unfolded by someone else''s hand. " " I thought it was a battle forgotten by everyone. I thought it was a loneliness that no one could acknowledge. I took it for granted, so I had no regrets or regrets. However. That was the wrong idea. right in front of you The Basic Forms unfolded in the previous battle were being reproduced sequentially. It''s like remembering that fight. To know who was the protector of Moorim. Like Heavenly Demon says he''s not alone. Kwok. The teeth pierced his lips. There was an indescribable emotion in his slightly trembling pupil. " thank you." Words that should never come out of Heavenly Demon''s mouth. At the same time, an unheard of gratitude flowed out. [''Heavenly Demon Ruler'' is activated!] [The effect of the ability is limited to 10% due to the lack of proficiency in the ability.] 10%. However, such a shame could not lower the rank of Heavenly Demon ruler. It is enough just to express the fragments. kwaang! The sword and the sword crossed. Jin-hyuk took the blow that Commander Sim Ma-Ryeong aimed at from the square. Jinhyuk digs into the gap created by the shock. " " The fangs moved at high speed, attempting to stab. Kaka Kaka! sparks happen The cutlery bumping into the air was difficult to count. At a moment where it could be said that they were almost simultaneous. The twin dragon swords crossed horizontally. Kaga! ! The demon demon crossed the two swords and barely blocked the attack. But, when I tried to counterattack. It was after Jinhyuk had already disappeared. speed is getting faster There was dust and the ground on which I had set foot was dug. Now, only the afterimages of the two can be seen vaguely. Kaka Kaka! Kang! Kang! Aww! Simma Spirit swung his half-moon sword like crazy. My heart was beating as fast as it was going to explode, and my whole body felt paralyzed. Rather than seeing and reacting, it is a situation where only predictions and predictions that go beyond them continue. It really means that you are doing your best. But. "Ta I can''t catch up." Even though I use all the cuttings I have, little by little start to push Scratch! The sword blades on Simma Spirit''s body increased. If this is the case, you will suffer The worries didn''t last long. Who said one-on-one! Simma Spirit gave orders to all the Gangshis through the ''Spirit''s Family''. Aww! Keeek! The yin and yang gangs who were dealing with T-Bone and the rest rushed towards Jinhyuk at once. The trump card, Cheonhangangsi, was also put into it. You can hear me say it''s cowardly. You may be told that you are behind in your skills. However, the one who survives is the strongest. puff puff puff! The tight balance was broken. The yin and yang gangs who attacked from all directions took fangs and twin dragon swords with their bare body. The Cheon Han Kang Si, which is several times more powerful than the Yin and Yang Kang Si, turned Jin Hyuk''s body into a lump of meat. no. thought it was made [The unique ability ''1 second invincibility'' is activated!] From among dozens of gangsters. I could see Jinhyuk smiling brightly. Yeah. I knew you would come out like this. The only question is when is that time. If he pushed him to the corner, he was sure that he would pour out all the strong poems. Everything, even the lowly gangsters who haven''t participated in battle all the time. ''It was much more disadvantageous to fight while protecting the villagers.'' Elise didn''t know, but the rest was dangerous. So I kept waiting. Until all power is gathered in one place. And finally the long-awaited moment has come. The invisible energy began to condense around Jinhyuk''s body. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The haze rising from the ground was distorted. This is a phenomenon caused by absurd mana. ''Heavenly Demon'' Extremism boasting extreme destructive power. The Heavenly Demon''s statement feast against Shub Niguras was triggered. If it''s this street... you can''t avoid it. Jinhyuk stretched out two swords in front of him. CH 314 .һMһ (1) kukuku kuk kuk! It wasn''t to the point where the whole floor shook like Heavenly Demon did. It was more than enough to shake up this whole area. The fangs that stretched forward and the energy compressed by the twin dragon swords reached even more extremes. Hey, this is... Simma Spirit instinctively felt a sense of crisis. In such a cohesive state, if the Heavenly Demon''s name festival was celebrated... . It''s over. The gangsi unit that you put great effort into will be evaporated in one stroke. Avoid! Now! Commander Simma shouted that his throat would burst. And that moment. Pants! Mana, which had been compressed to the limit, was released sequentially. A huge light swallowed up Jinhyuk''s surroundings. Episode 314.һMһ (1) Firstly. A crack occurred in the body of Cheon Han Kang-si, who was close to Jin-hyuk. In the key? The flesh burned with a pungent smell. The body that was refined by the polarizer was extremely resistant to heat. Even that hard corpse did not become a shield this time. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! An explosion of energy beyond imagination. Everything was dyed white. And when my vision came back... . The visible terrain had completely changed. Heh heh!... heh heh.... heh... Commander Simma staggered and backed away. Thanks to the gangsters as a shield, they managed to save their lives. It was thanks to the instantaneous conversion of Kangshi''s attack power into defense power by using the power of the spirit''s family. But only that. The rivers they possessed have already become ashes and have been scattered. ''how How should I look at him... I mean.'' It''s not enough to fail a mission, so you''re the only one living alone? Such frivolous excuses don''t work. At least if you don''t post even a small criminal record... . That was when I was thinking. '' Well?'' Jinhyuk came into the eyes of Master Sim. Could it be because of the use of Mugong with unimaginable power? His breathing was noticeably rough, and his legs seemed to lose strength. It''s an opportunity. Yeah. You guys have limits too! If only that guy can deal with it, we''ll be able to make up for all these mistakes. Commander Simma jumped out of his seat. Even though he was exhausted from his wounds, he was exhausted. The opponent was on the verge of collapsing just by touching it. Seeing him stagger with his head down, it seemed that it was difficult to even dodge, let alone swing his sword. If you can kill it, it''s only now. Boo woo woo! The half-moon sword exploded at the same time while drawing horizontally and vertically. By the way. Kaaan! The sword aimed at from the square bounced off. On the right arm of Tombgrave... . ''High-speed sword'' overlaps. If the Heavenly Demon god gave priority to destructive power, the sword attack expressed through the two abilities pursued extreme speed. It''s not that fast. Now at all... can''t even see Puppupuck! An eerie crackling sound signaled the end of the fight. Red blood gushed out like a waterfall. I must have run out of power... but... how could a sword with such speed... It''s just that I have so much power. just. "I just acted like it was hard." How to optimize mana was already mastered a long time ago. Acting was mastered even longer ago. "The monster the same guy." kuung! Simma Spirit''s body collapsed as it was. At the same time. T-tiring! [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [You have mastered the ''Advanced Kangsi Recipe''.] [[''Sword of the Half Moon („)''] You have acquired a pair!] A myriad of status windows informed the victory instead. 3 levels. There, the two best things that Demon Spirit possessed fell together. It''s over... Am I? The owner slumped down to his seat. A sweet smell wafted from his mouth as he fought while protecting the hostages against multiple enemies. It had been a long time since the priests and sisters who had fought together were exhausted and collapsed. I think so. We were just helping Jinhyuk-san. Teresa''s white armor and shield were also stained black with the blood of gangsters. Obviously it was difficult. If the numbers were a little higher, it would have been dangerous. Elise added a word. It''s a shame they burned them down to the molecular level. A blood spear wouldn''t have been able to kill it even with a hundred stabs. The regenerative power of the advanced lecturers was astonishing. By the way. Kakakan! The sound of someone fighting frantically echoed through the forest. To survive. It was the sound of Cheon Yu-seong continuing the battle like crazy even at this moment. Elise, thinking deeply about something, pulled Jinhyuk''s sleeve. But can I ask you one thing? Huh? If we were all there, wouldn''t it be necessary to use that swordsman as bait? No, from my point of view, the contractor alone would have been enough? Hmm . Today, Alice is strangely intelligent. My head spins fast and I''m curious, so it''s only a short-lived prize. Elise. Huh? "You know that, but you pretend you don''t know." Aha . Alice rolled her eyes. It reminded me of the things that Cheon Yu-seong had creeped up on in the meantime. That''s probably... it will be up Cumulative karma for past events. Then cheering from afar was the only way she could do it. cheer up! He didn''t forget to wave his hand at Cheon Yooseong, who was still fighting hard while running away. Exactly one day after the fight ended, Jinhyeok and his companions returned to Luoyang. He made a huge record of defeating the Simma Spirit... Of course, confident that he would have an advantageous position in the war. But. It was only after arriving at the Moorimmeng that I realized that the current situation was much more serious than I had expected. The three elite factions of the Fortune Squad and the Common Faction have been annihilated. They said that the Core and... new things that were kept in the base were taken away. "I got rid of a lot of gangsters, but that white gangsta was different. It was the limit that I barely managed to get out of the body." The atmosphere in the conference hall was heavily subdued. There were only two places where the Moorimmaeng won the victory. The rest suffered great damage from their opponents. It would be nice if it was fortunate that about 2,000 cases of haemorrhage were treated. Jinhyuk, who attended the meeting late, frowned. ''This is a collection of complete nerds.'' Even after blocking the most difficult Simma command, this is enough. Also, you don''t need to look after them. All you have to do is use it thoroughly and throw it away. By the way. Master Hyemyeong from Shaolin made an unexpected statement. We also lost the fresh herb that we were keeping separately. Strangely, he took only one of them without touching the other spirits. If it''s a fresh herb, isn''t it a herb that can improve your stamina by half a sudden? It''s rare, but compared to the effort made by the Spirit Corps, it is evaluated that the improvement of internal strength is weak. Kunlun''s Danmokil and Huashan''s Hyohwa also helped out one word at a time. That''s right. It''s a beautiful figure, so it was raised with affection, but it''s a pity that it was looted. fresh herbs... Maybe it''s fresh herbs? An earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk''s pupil. An effect that revitalizes the body that has been hardened for a long time. It is even a legendary Yeongcho that has been known to be able to awaken those who have been asleep for hundreds of years. Of course, this is only after a proper refining process. In Moorim, Shinseoncho was only known as a material for making spirits to improve air quality. ''Samaja... Did you aim for it?'' I thought it was a surprise that I threw out 2,000 hyeolgang poems. Now I know what the samaja is aiming for. Of course it''s not meant to make a Core... . ''It was meant to awaken the four gods.'' In order to win this war, he is trying to use the Sacred beast that has fallen into a deep sleep. Considering the unique abilities of samaja and the efficacy of fresh herbs, it was a story that could be realized. Probably, among the four gods who are sleeping right now, the one who can make a contract with him... . There is only one. blue dragon. An oriental Dragon that deals with the weather will soon appear on the battlefield. At a timing not expected at all in the Moorim League. ''A little while ago, I thought that the Moorims were useless... It was surprisingly helpful.'' This information is worth a thousand dollars. It was because I had previewed one of the opponent''s hidden cards. And if you know in advance what to write... . This will also allow you to prepare accordingly. ''The first thing you should get is what you get.'' In particular, there was one thing that must be obtained from the Moorimmaeng in order to deal with Samazawa and the Blue Dragon. Jinhyuk, who had organized his thoughts, opened his mouth for the first time. Hey Hmm! Big! You''re having a lot of trouble talking hard, but there''s something I need to tell you urgently. Can you all focus on it? you . Is that guy who handled the Simma Spirit? Jinhyuk Kang... That''s right. My child was beaten by that guy. People who had not attended the previous Moorim League meeting murmured. Joint and ARMY fortune tellers. And they were representatives from Moyong, Zhuge, and Hwangbosega. What do you mean you''re going to have to speak urgently? Hyo-hwa asked Jin-hyuk. I think it''s time to get paid for telling us the path of Heavenly Demon Protestantism. I want you to hand over the treasures of each clan as promised. Funny! kwaang! All at once, a single sledgehammer hit the desk. The rest of the people also looked at Jinhyuk with a surprised expression. Do you know how much we''ve lost this time? But give us something more here? I told you all the enemy''s location, but it happened. It''s the people''s fault, and it''s not my part-time job. If you suffered because of your lack of skills, you should be ashamed. It''s just amazing to open your mouth here. Well, that''s... Besides, I took care of the Simma command, but will you just shut your mouth? Hey. I think you sold Uiwa-hyeop, which was usually talked about a lot, in the neighborhood. Well, it''s because I have a thick face. What are you going to do next? Do you think the Moorimmaeng will be able to stop the next wave of Heavenly Demon Protestantism without my information? Seriously? At the words pouring out like rapid-fire guns, the single woodwork became a honey-eaten dumbass. It is true that the promise was made. It is also true that he made a clear ball. Above all, in order to overcome this gloomy situation, Jinhyuk desperately needed other information. only. It was too precious to provide the treasures of the clan. You have to somehow catch the pod and get the information for free. That was the common thought of representatives of each clan, including Danmokil. Apart from the reward. Do you really believe that this guy overpowered the Simma Spirit? I can''t believe that the monster that wields hundreds of powerful poems is dead. . I think it is right to cover the authenticity first! I agree. I see you too. It''s hard to believe that the author has done something that even the best of the faction couldn''t... Certainly, it''s hard to rule out the possibility of using strange numbers or tying up with Heavenly Demon Protestantism. What are you all saying? Still, it is true that thanks to that friend, we took a deep breath. Are you just skeptical? Isn''t the author looking too good in the open? Arguments continued. When the situation reached this point, So Yoo-hyeon called out Soyou''s name. Believing that a disciple who fought directly in one place would give a clear answer. Famous. Yes, Master. Did the author really deal with the simma command? that''s . So-myung glanced at Jin-hyuk''s eyes. CH 315 .һMһ (2) gulp. Dry saliva ran down the owner''s throat. It''s because Jinhyeok has hurt him to the bone for the past few days, and now he has reached a point where he fears Jinhyuk more than Soyouhyeon. In particular, seeing the formidable master Cheon Yoo-seong robbed his soul in front of Jin-hyuk, the fear felt by the owner was beyond imagination. ''If you go against the author''s intentions, you may beg for his death.'' Ownership was instinctively instinctive. If there is a person in the world you should not touch... . That''s what the devil is. right then Jinhyuk''s mouth moved softly. -If you say something useless, you die. Is. all. Creepy! Goosebumps erupted all over the owner''s body. Team, sure. I never used a strange number, and I saw with my own eyes a Mugong that looked like it had been cooked outside the tower. I guarantee it. So you can trust it. Yes! Not like that. The owner nodded his head most violently in the world. Uh, are you famous? So Yoo-hyeon rolled her eyes. He was a disciple who was always calm and calm. But it''s such a frivolous look. One of the major disciple of the shaman... It''s strange these days. Among the small dragons, he was a highly anticipated talent, but the fight against the Heavenly Demon Protestantism must have been fierce. Are you saying you''re scared? Heh heh. Amitabha. The representatives of the other clans looked at the name as if they could not believe it. However, the owner didn''t even care about that kind of gaze. It''s a natural thing. They won''t come to the bedroom tonight with a knife. I''m not going to enjoy being forced to eat weird food or struggling in pain. "I promise in my name. That person no, the author is not a spy of the Heavenly Demon Protestant Church, nor is he lying to deceive us." The owner asserted once again. alone. With only the thought of living, filling my head. With the testimony of the owner, things went fairly smoothly. Since Jin-hyeok was guaranteed by the shaman''s major disciple, who would dare to vomit? To doubt his words was to doubt the words of a shaman. There were a lot of people who didn''t look at it like that, but at least they didn''t show their hostility openly. Haha. All of these things... I''ll use this very usefully. Stop being greedy and put it away. That''s it too. In the end, 5 treasures disappeared from the treasure house that was temporarily stored by the Moorimmaeng. Jinhyuk went directly to the warehouse and picked up the treasures he wanted. It was a pity that I only got 5, but this is not a bad result. ''I do it right once in a while.'' Returning to the private dormitory provided by the opening, Jin-hyuk immediately laid out the treasures he had obtained on the bed. Of the five, the one that caught my eye the most was a long sword with a blade as white as snow. [Hwamu plum blossom sword] Attack power: 26,400 Durability: 5,000 / 5,000 Description: This is a treasure among treasures given only to those who have received the title of the Black Plum Sword Zone made of perennials. Unless the will of the one holding the sword is broken, this sword will never break. Originally, the Hwamu Plum Sword is a sacred relic that cannot be obtained. It suffered when it went through extinction, because there was no reason to give up this sword due to the pride of the volcano. However, What if it has to do with the future of Moorim as a whole, not the fate of the volcano? Could one sword be worse than the Heavenly Demon''s shattering to ashes of everything? The answer is now in your hands. Sreung! Jinhyuk pulled out the sword that was in the scabbard. There was a flash of black light that made my eyes shiver. ''It was true that it made the Sword Qi usable even by those who had no skill.'' I don''t feel the weight. The balance went beyond perfection, and exclamations came out of it. Furthermore. Shaman''s ''Jasodan'' and Kunlun''s ''Unro White Coat'' are also rare. First, perilla had the effect of raising mana by 75 stats when taken. In terms of level, it is equivalent to raising the level by 25. I can see why the Shamans love this. On the other hand, the Unro White Coat increases the movement speed by 30%, and it has the rebound ability to bounce off any Sword Qi. ''There''s no way they''ll just give up on all of this.'' First, put out the fire, and when the situation calms down, you will expose your teeth to get the stolen swords and spirits back. It is human nature to boil and kill hounds that are no longer useful. I''ve already seen life through the eyes of Hyo-hwa and Dan-mok-il. However. ''cute. It''s hard to roll your head that doesn''t turn.'' The rosy future they envision won''t happen. The person who laughs last in this love affair has already been decided. Jinhyuk activated the personal status window. T-tiring! Name: Kang Jin-hyuk Gender: Male Age: 28 Level: 125 Strength 109 Dexterity 58 Stamina 67 mana 294 Gap 100 Luck 10 Adaptive 78 Elemental 84.91 Stat Points you have: 9 Coins held: 11,315,520 Occupation: Ruler of the Runes Unique abilities: ''Fusion'', ''Sword Grave'', ''Star Blessing'', ''Anubis'' Judgment'', ''Blood Magic (Ѫħ)'', ''Mandala (_)'', ''1 second Invincible'', ''Thousand Poison'', ''White Beast'', ''All Things (f鹲)'', ''Sanctuary of the Sun'', ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong (ħʹ)'', ''Triple Magic'', '' ''Colossus Strike'', ''Breath of the Fire Dragon'', ''High-speed Sword'', ''Tomb Grave''s Right Arm'', ''Berserker'', ''Wind Realm'', ''Shadow Kill (Ӱؽ)'', ''Blood Explosion (Ѫ)'', ''Black Tears'', ''Tomb Grave''s Bridge'', ''Strong God (y)'', ''The Core of the Legion'', ''Ancient Barrier'' First, you have to deal with Simma Spirit and distribute the obtained stats. ''Is it because the level is a level, now that even if you deal with such a strong enemy, is it the limit to go up by 3 levels?'' It seems that the amount of experience required has gone up unreasonably. [Agility increases from 58 to 67!] All of the stats Jinhyuk received were invested in agility. Considering the sama''s trait, it was necessary to increase the reaction speed and movement speed. next . Jinhyuk''s eyes turned to the reddish daffodil. ''Jasodan'' It is an elixir that has an excellent effect in increasing the strength. ''So Yoo-hyeon gave this to me because I thought I wouldn''t be able to take it anyway.'' The more effective the elixir, the more important it is to take it. This is because if you just swallow it, your bet will flow back and you will fall into QiGong Deviation or become a nuisance. Whoa. Jinhyeok took a breath and put the perilla dandelion in his mouth. Contrary to its hard shape, the perilla powder melts and disappears in an instant the moment it touches your tongue. A fragrant smell spread throughout his mouth. [Lv7 ''Jintae Cheonghwarang Heart Method'' is activated!] A hot ball of fire started churning through his esophagus. It is important from now on. Jinhyeok took a cross-legged bet and operated an absorbed bet. Delicate work with no tolerance for a single mistake. Only when simbeop and bet are perfectly combined can the charismatic dan be completely transformed into mana. Of course, I''ve also absorbed extreme poison that''s worse than Jasodan. Jinhyuk wasn''t the only one to be scared of this level. kukukuku! The refined bet fluctuated even more violently. His neck and back were drenched in cold sweat. How long has it been? [Mana increases by 75!] The heat that seemed to swallow the molten iron disappeared like a lie. All mana is completely absorbed. '' ho.'' Is it because the stats corresponding to level 25 were raised at once? Unlike when the agility was raised, the feeling was definitely different. what is it Did you feel that you have become more sensitive to your senses now? The sound of humming insects. The presence of a fast-moving mouse on the ceiling. And . You can also hear someone running to the door, full of anger. Yes? Someone full of anger? no way . Jinhyuk, who was tilting his head, hurriedly flew away. kwaaang! The door shattered with a roar. I''ve finally found it. You fucking bastard! I just thought of cutting off your head and holding on and holding on. Cheon Yu-seong drew out his sword and spewed out a dreadful life. Although his body was covered in scars, he seemed to have saved the strength to wield the sword. Yooseong-ah! It''s okay... I''m really glad. I was afraid that something went wrong... I couldn''t sleep at night... It''s dark. Jinhyeok brought tears to his eyes. He even pretended to wipe his eyes with a handkerchief. Put the smoke away... Do you think I''ll forget your atrocities that drove me to my limbs! Whoops! A blue river flowed out from the sword of Cheonyuseong. This is sincere. Seriously, he''s trying to kill me. Uh-huh. To drive you into a limb. I prepared something like this for you, who suffered. What is the point of that? stop Cheon Yuseong, who held his sword high, hardened. Hwamu... you''re giving me a plum sword? To me? It was a celestial castle with few baths, but there was only one. His greed for the sword was different. Since there were no useless weapons after the attribute sword, getting a good weapon was the top priority. But when he said he would give me one of the best swords in Moorim... . The rage that was boiling hot was stopped. either die or die The promise that one of the two would surely come true was soon gone. Jinhyuk waved the sword carved with plum blossoms in front of Cheon Yuseong. Want to have one? Huh? Don''t you have something like this in your house? " " Boo-woong! At the moment Cheon Yoo-seong was about to snatch him, Jin-hyuk quickly pulled his sword back in half a beat. Shh! Whirick! He quickly tried to grab the sword again, but again, Jinhyuk was a little faster. Wow! What are you doing when you say you''ll give it to me! I''ll give it to you. I''ll give it to you? There is one thing I need to do before that. To make you do something nonsense again? I won''t do anything with a bigger belly button than my stomach, even if I die. What do you see people as... This time it''s different. You just need to act as a bodyguard for one night. Bodyguard? Whose? Surely it''s not you? No. Not me. It''s our exorcism story. The sweet potato that had been hiding under the blanket stuck out its head. mosquito! Okay. Our mosquito. Did you sleep well? Are you hungry? Mosquito mosquito! At the word feed , the sweet potato twinkled in her eyes. It was a bonus that saliva was running down his lips. I''ll make you eat a lot of delicious food right away. Do you see this unlucky fellow that looks like a parasitic brother? He''ll be watching over you while you eat. Wait! What do you mean by guard while eating? There''s no need for protection to eat in a normal restaurant, right? It''s not an ordinary restaurant. Then where are you? That''s of course... . They are the magic stones in the Moorimmaeng''s treasure house. When I visited earlier, I saw that the magic crystals I had stored as loot with the Empire were piled up like a mountain. How strong can sweet potatoes become if you eat them all? . I''m already looking forward to it like crazy. ...So. Do you look at me while your pet steals and eats Moorimmang? Huh. If I get caught, do I take full responsibility for wearing a dumpling? Huh! Jinhyuk smiled brightly. Oh. And one more thing. Our exorcists will find something there, and I want you to bring it with you. Unlike the very famous Hwamu Plum Flower Sword and Jasodan, this is a sacred relic whose existence itself is unknown. That''s why I didn''t ask for it a while ago. If I had asked for it, I would have denied the fact itself. However, if you can smell sweet potatoes, you will be able to find relics hidden in hidden rooms. From the no-drinking meal to theft... do this. Please, destroy the evidence as soon as possible. I''d rather have a creative method other than arson. It''s hard to even think of responding because these guys are shocked, there''s such a thing. Haha... you''ll be assigned the hottest place in hell later. Then, you''ll be right next to me. " " Let''s say no more Did you realize that only your blood pressure rises? Cheon Yoosung let out a long sigh. " instead, I will accept it as a black deposit." any amount. Jin-hyeok handed the Hwamu Plum Flower Sword to Cheon Yoo-seong. This completes the recruitment of accomplices. That night. A terrible wailing sound resounded from each clan of Moorim. Three, my God. What do you mean by this? Kunlun''s monogram grabbed the back of his neck and collapsed. Seo, how can I see Seonjo? Some evil bastard could do this... You will be punished! You will be punished! Ahhh . The rest of the representatives of Sega also cried in tears. A place where books that record the long achievements and history of each clan are kept. That sacred place has been completely abandoned by someone. Numerous footprints filled with ink have turned the interior into a swampy field. It was impossible to even guess who the culprit was because the guards were stunned and passed out. The only clue is that the shape of the footprint is that of a small reptile. so that. No one noticed that the ''Returner''s Bracelet'' hidden in the treasury was missing. At least for now. CH 316 . Song of Swords (1) Due to the death of Commander Shim and the information Jin-hyeok handed over to the Moorimmaeng, the war situation began to flow strangely. The momentum of the Heavenly Demon Protestantism, which had been pushing it to the brink, was broken. Instead, the morale of the samurai of the Moorimmaeng, who had gained strength by winning consecutive victories, rose as if to pierce the sky. Because of this, the situation unfolded where each clan looked at each other''s eyes without even being able to express their anger over what happened to Jinhyuk. - I might offend that guy for no reason, and then rip more of it. -Heavenly Demon Something worse than Protestantism. I pulled out the whole column. - You''re only going to have to deal with that. It is said that the gold chest and the hermit disappeared overnight, so we can only live on grass roots from today. -Still, thanks to the information he gave me, I managed to handle more than 1,000 sentences. We''re sorry, so let''s wait patiently. -Isn''t this all the Buddha''s will? Amitabha. haha. While everyone is spending time watching Jinhyuk''s eyes. Jinhyeok, who was left alone, enjoyed the leisurely time he had been looking for. [Returner''s Bracelet] Acquisition Difficulty: A Description: A bracelet used by a person who returned to another world to climb a tower in the past. It was on display at the ''museum'' for residents on the first floor of the Tower of Trials and was then stolen. Effect 1: It has a resonant nature when meeting with a returnee. All stats increase by +3 during battle. Effect 2: You can create a gate that connects to another world when certain conditions are met. returnee. It refers to people who have been to another world. There were returnees in the Tower of Trials, but Jinhyeok also did not know exactly how many of them there were. It''s because he''s been hiding his identity. ''Still, if you have this, you may be able to find some.'' A reward for finding some sort of Easter egg? Returnees were given various privileges from the tower simply by finding their identity. In particular, ''Medrey'' was also an important human resource that was indispensable in the upper floors of the tower. Of course, all of this is still premature. I had to go over the 30th floor of the tower at least to meet the returnees. Jinhyuk puts the returnee''s bracelet back into the subspace inventory. at that time. uuung! Another weapon in the subspace inventory let out a terrifying resonance. balm. The strongest relic that sheds purple light struggled to receive its master''s call. ''Yeah, you haven''t forgotten either.'' Sooner or later, the time to use the feet will come. All the main actors get together. When the moment comes when the strongest strike is needed. right then The finished balmong will be revealed. ''Then, I''ve roughly arranged it, so let''s go and see.'' Jinhyuk prepared to move. By the way. What. Where are you going in the middle of the night? No, you''re going to leave without saying anything to me? Seeing that she was about to jump through the window, Elise ran to one step. I purposely made a bunch of meat dumplings so that this guy wouldn''t be found out. It looks like he ate all of that. Look at that greasy lip. After I ate all 50, my cheeks became very hamster-like. "I was just going for a walk." Really? Then, I''ll go with you too. It''s good that I''m full. "Actually, if you walk with someone, you will get a disease that will kill you I think that would be a bit difficult." If the contractor goes, I''ll go too. If you try to leave me alone, I''ll just start screaming here. Really? Alice raised her eyes. This is sincere. As mana filled up, I could see the black pupils starting to turn red. Uhhh... I see. I''ll take you, so you have to be quiet instead. Okay? Yeah! I''m confident I''ll be very good at being quiet! Alice smiled brightly with her fangs pointed out. It''s something I can''t believe, but there''s nothing I can do about it. only to go together. Jinhyuk lightly jumped over the window and jumped out. How long did you walk past the sparsely populated pub street? The long footsteps stopped when we reached the abandoned temple on the deep mountainside. shoot ah... . The wind blew through the bamboo forest. A night sky with many stars. There was a Heavenly Demon that was completely different from when we first met. " " It doesn''t look like it''s going to fall over because it''s dry. It was like an uninhabited specimen as he was sitting cross-legged and slowly absorbing the qi spread in the atmosphere. Is the word reverent appropriate in this case? Jinhyeok looked at him, unconsciously, lost his mind. Kuh-hum! I''ve never seen a teacher like that before. It seems like I''m completely obsessed with it. To hear that the only disciple is having an affair... I''ll have to die when I''m old. It''s sad. The dark hwang came gruntingly. Master. Are you here? It seems like it''s been a long time since I''ve seen you. Next to him was Wolyeong holding a bundle of firewood. The two who joined last night after moving separately to fight Samaza are currently staying here while healing the wounds of the Heavenly Demon. No, out of the many expressions, what is an affair. An affair. What? Are you vomiting the words of a teacher like heaven? "No, it''s not It was meant to mean that it would be nice if we all got along well." Anyway, if you can''t say anything... Ho-oh. Did you bring your fianc with you? The dark emperor''s gaze turned to Elise. " " Elise stuck behind Jinhyuk like a frightened elk and looked at his eyes. It''s because I didn''t expect to meet Heavenly Demon or Dark Hwang on the easy walk. ''Heavenly Demon''s new... Have you recovered enough to be able to materialize fragments? great. Not bad.'' Jinhyuk looked at Alice and smiled. It''s been a long time since I''ve seen this guy look like this. Seriously, the new Heavenly Demon had the same ability as ''Blood Lord'', so I can''t help but feel insecure. [Currently, there is a 10-star barrier ''Ether Territory'' spread out here.] harmony of yin and yang. In order to restore a damaged danjeon, the energy of Sanggeuk is needed. The Heavenly Demon knew that too, so he tried to find a clue with the two elemental energies in the village. the problem is . Heavenly Demon instinctively guessed the solution. It''s not that I haven''t figured out the details. So Jinhyuk himself actively helped out. So that Heavenly Demon''s power ban is restored and the lost strength can be gathered once again. A barrier that can amplify the ether within a certain area will provide an optimal environment for recovering the Heavenly Demon''s strength. Big!... Gagging! Gagging! Suddenly, red blood gushed out of Heavenly Demon''s mouth. hematemesis. However, the blood is black, not bright red. Another dead blood clot blocking my veins disappeared like this. " " Heavenly Demon looked down at his body in disbelief. gradually. very little. Energy is accumulating in the dungeon. Danjeon, which is normal when nothing should be felt, shook like a memory of the past. Kuhm. So I didn''t tell you? What this guy said is credible. It''s all because I like the way people see people. The pride for Jinhyuk was dripping from Amhwang''s face. It completely broke the conventional wisdom and everyone shouted that it was impossible. Only one disciple did it. The love of a disciple is special. Am, I''m a disciple that I barely received in my later years. How would you like it? No matter how many times I see you like this... The Dark Hwang, who was talking, looked into Heavenly Demon''s eyes. I''m speaking to the old woman, but you shouldn''t take my disciple alone in the future. If it''s your disciple, wouldn''t it be my disciple as well? It''s good to have many teachers for good people. Look at that. That''s right. This old man. This. I''ve been paying close attention. Not this time. Never until dirt gets in my eye. Never? Heavenly Demon''s eyebrows curve backwards. trembling The dark hwang took a few steps backwards. Oh, it''s not okay. Since when did you, the friendship corporation, start to swear by the name of the main branch? If the main branch regains its power even by 10%, they will be held accountable for this incident. Uh-huh. Don''t try to solve everything with violence. What makes an old man so full of power just because he''s had some sort of metamorphosis? Besides, it''s difficult if you''re bluffing and hurt yourself with your inner strength, which is still only dusty. Is it bluff? Did you say that the main office is bluffing now? Heavenly Demon and the Dark Huang growled at each other. You can''t go to them. I''m stronger. Maybe... Alice muttered anxiously. Master. Although not as strong as the ones you belong to, we can fight together whenever the Lord calls us. Wolyoung also helped with a word. Both of them seem to be terrified of whether they will be abandoned by any chance. ''Are they stupid?'' not even young children. In this situation, it is beyond ridiculous that you are fighting for your pride while arguing about mine. ''what .'' It doesn''t feel bad though. Because we were able to remember and experience the countless things that happen on the same floor. A soft smile appeared on Jinhyuk''s lips. Today will be the last time I can rest like this. Now soon... . One of the four gods will wake up. The Oriental Sacred Beast ''Blue Dragon'', which is called a natural disaster. He had prepared for it, but as he thought of the great battle that was to come, his fists became stronger without realizing it. The tension and excitement, and the desire to go beyond that and become stronger, burned. by the way. Slowly the time is running out... . Jinhyuk looked at the time on the status window. exactly midnight. It''s appointment time. right then crumble! It was popular among the bushes. A pair of men and women appeared. It''s Cheon Yoosung and Chuhonsayeong. How do you think...? The dark eagle opened his eyes. We had a vacation together outside the tower the other day, but that''s the story outside the tower. In Moorim, each other is the enemy. Heavenly Demon also looked at Chuhonsayeong with curious eyes. Even though he saw the main seat, he didn''t look too surprised. Not the criminal, but now with the spirit of Heavenly Demon. There''s no way Sayoung Chu couldn''t have known the true identity of Heavenly Demon. Even so, Chumyeongsayeong didn''t seem to be agitated in any way. "I heard it from Confucius Kang over there." Chuhon Sayoung slowly opened her mouth. What do you mean? The fact that you... rescued Moorim. And even the fact that you lost all your strength because of it. therefore? Yes? Are you saying you want to sympathize with the fact that the main branch has lost its power, or are you saying that it''s not worth fighting for? No. I have no intention of insulting you. Sreung! Chuhon Sayoung slowly drew her sword. Confucius Kang. You said that you need yin and yang qi to regain the strength of Heavenly Demon, right? That''s right. I''m still recovering little by little, but I can''t say for sure how long it will take. Then we''ll have to go ahead and explode the two qi. There are a lot of people here who have mastered the yin and yang qi to the limit. At Chuhonsayeong''s words, the dark hwang''s eyes widened even more. The head of the Moorim Maeng... are you going to help us? There would be no way that Meng would have allowed it? Yes. Moorimmaeng and Heavenly Demon Protestantism cannot coexist. Because the two have always been aiming for each other''s neck in a bloody and bloody history. Like helping each other... . there might be That is to say, there is no way. I didn''t tell the Moorimmeng. This is a decision I made voluntarily. Why? Why so much...? Because we are ''Murim''. For this moment, it doesn''t matter if it''s a faction, a sect, or a Heavenly Demon Protestantism. A disaster called the manifestation of the 50th floor. And to defeat the samaja who follows him. Moorim. There is only one force. Heavenly Demon Protestantism. Friendship Law. Dark Hwang. Chuhonsayeong''s gaze is directed to the dark hwang. My wife, Chuhonsayeong. From now on, on behalf of the Moorimmaeng, I will ask you for a secret service. The sword faded, leaving a remnant. CH 317 . Song of Swords (2) Even if you don''t speak... . The truth is told The Dark Huang did not ask any more questions. Instead, he accepted the offer by taking the supremacy. The main seat is Heavenly Demon Protestantism. Friendship Law. Dark Hwang. The one who assists him on the right hand side of the Heavenly Demon. for Moorim. To regain the lost strength of the Heavenly Demon. For the first and last time, the secret of life and death was not achieved between the Moorimmaeng and the Heavenly Demon Protestantism. kwaang! The Dark Emperor clashed his fists. The energy of ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong'' exploded in an instant, and the whole area began to be dyed black. Whoops. Chuhonsayoung also walked forward with the sword that raised the sword in her right hand. tuk. jerk. A step too light to match the current situation. In the heavy air like the deep sea, the two narrowed the distance towards each other. Ilbo (һ). This distance is the distance that third-class samurai judges the distance between each other. They don''t know how far their distance is, so it''s only at the level of looking at each other from as far away as possible. jerk. the gap is narrowed Yibo (). This distance is the interval between first-class samurai. A distance that can injure each other''s bodies by swinging the sword. Therefore, even those who belong to the first class do not try to narrow the distance any further. jerk. Again the distance narrows. Both the Dark Emperor and Chuhonsayeong still shine like wild beasts in their eyes. He didn''t try to take any action. just keep moving forward. Sambo (). A street of top-notch masters. It is a distance that only those who have completely grasped their distance can cross. It wouldn''t be strange if the sword and the sword collide at any moment. nevertheless. Still, the two did not swing their swords or open their fists. The last four chapters. The gap has narrowed enough to let each other''s breaths touch. A distance that no other Muslim would allow to an opponent if he was sane. However, the two masters representing Moorim entered each other''s gap without any hesitation. Moment. shoot ah... . A dazzling brilliance arose. [Chuhonsayoung activates ''Chuhon Sword Dance (׷ꄦ)''!] The sword sings a song. Even with the Chumoon Sword that Cheon Yuseong used. It was also different from the Chumoon Sword that Jinhyuk used. The sword dance of the party who invented the Chuhon Sword scrambled across the air. The flowers made of swords fluttered, and white snow fell in the night sky. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Predicting the sword is meaningless. Because every Basic Form created a new Basic Form. Ugh! The dark eagle took a deep breath. bang! bang! KwaKwaKwabang! He slashed the sword attacks that were flying at an invisible speed with both fists and peered at the opportunity. In the first place, Dark Hwang''s organ was destructive power, not speed. That''s why only one blow is important. Scratch! Tsutsu! wounds all over the body. Red lines were drawn on the body harder than steel. Each one is astonishingly sharp. It''s hard enough just to hold on. However, Dark Hwang did not allow only the vital points and waited for the moment when Chuhonsayeong''s breathing and the flow of the sword subtly diverge. as soon as. now! A space that must exist in all Basic Forms. I dug into the moment when the sword and the sword were connected. Chuhonsayoung also realized her own shortcomings, but it was too short a moment to make a big attack. puff puff puff! After receiving five sword attacks with her bare body, Amhuang raised her fists back wide. A terrifying energy was condensed towards one point. huuuuuuuuuoooooooooooooooooo Even if it''s just a broom... If two people who have reached this level fight, the story is completely different. This is the main Mugong. Try it somewhere. Aww! The swordsmanship unfolded by Chuhonsayeong and the power of the Dark Hwang collided head-on. The air rumbled. ! The sword shield covered with self-defense force shook violently. That''s because it didn''t absorb all the shock. [A mass of ether is released!] KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The power of the two flags was beyond imagination to the extent that all the bamboos spread out were swept away. topography and. the terrain is changed This place, which was a forest a while ago, was already reminiscent of a battlefield. ''As expected.'' Jinhyuk looked at the black and white spheres floating in the air. yin and yang energy. In that way, the two energy that flowed out floated around me... . tsutsutsu . Soon after, it failed to pass through the barrier and came back down to the ground. To be precise, it began to be absorbed into the body of the Heavenly Demon. [Inner strength is restored.] [Inner strength is restored.] ''Eyes of Gluttony'' showed Heavenly Demon recovering rapidly. However. ''This is a bit difficult... .'' Jinhyuk frowned. yin and yang. To fill the huge bowl called Heavenly Demon, two people''s bimu is not enough. It''s not just a matter of quantity... Diversity issue. Even the yin and yang energy, there were dozens of different kinds in detail. It means that even if you use the same type of Mugong, different energy comes out depending on the person who uses it. In fact, once Heavenly Demon''s recovery reached a certain level, it didn''t progress any further. " " " " The feeling of incongruity was the same with Amhwang and Chuhonsayeong. I saw black and white spheres floating in the air, floating without being absorbed. "It is probably not enough for us to fight." It''s definitely as you said. Only then, no matter how much we fight, it doesn''t make any sense. Our energy is already overflowing because we don''t have enough energy. if so . The eyes of the two men turned to different directions. Chuhon Sa-young''s hand caressed Cheon Yu-seong''s cheek. The pure white hand looked particularly white in the moonlight. On the side of the Moorimmang, I''ll let my disciple come forward. If it''s the soul sword of our Heavenly Confucius, he''ll be able to create a different energy than me. Master... sir? Am I... mean? Cheon Yoosung asked, as if surprised. Oh my God, are you not confident? It''s only when you''re pushed by the Dark Emperor''s disciple... isn''t it worthwhile to teach the Chumyeong Sword? A fight with Jinhyeok, not the Dark Hwang. When he realized who the opponent of the fight was, a different gleam flashed in Cheon Yu-seong''s eyes. "That''s what I was hoping for." Even if Choo Hon Sa-yeong didn''t have to push her back, the dance with Jin-hyuk was something he had been looking forward to. Sreung! Cheon Yoosung drew his sword. The ''Hwamu Plum Flower Sword'' from Jinhyuk drew a soft curve. Today, I will defeat him and prove that my sword is the best sword. Hmm. You''re saying that kid over there is going to smash you? Amhwang also tapped Jinhyuk on the shoulder. Well, it''s always been like that. It''s going to crash and break ... and cry and cry and now it''s like that. Puhahaha! That''s a good spirit. Yes, we both ended up in a draw, but you must crush that guy''s disciple. Don''t ever even think of having a secret dance with the Heavenly Demon Shinkyo again. Since Amhwang and Chuhonsayeong had similar skills to each other, they could not compete with Bimura in the frame. If you really want to win, the next step would be to use herbicide. I think so too. Jinhyuk pulled out his fangs from beyond the distorted space. under the moonlight. Two swords fell. Cheon Yu-seong cleared his breathing. [The unique ability ''Song of the Sword'' is activated!] I waited only for this day. Jinhyuk Kang. A dazzling amount of energy surged. kukukuku! The sword wind created by sword pressure completely surrounded Cheonyuseong. At the same time. [The unique ability ''Sword Graveyard'' is activated!] "You too you don''t seem to have a very special day." A cold sound lingered along Jinhyuk''s fangs. Amhwang and Chuhonsayeong looked at the two disciples. As if looking at the two pillars that will lead this world in the future. like that. fault! fault! Jinhyuk and Cheon Yuseong ran towards each other. My heart beats. crossed swords. Flesh cold. Each other''s Basic Form is merged into one. Jinhyuk drew his sword horizontally. Kaang! Cheon Yuseong slightly shifted the trajectory of his fangs and immediately counterattacked. A fierce blow aimed at the arms and legs raged like a storm. Kaka Kaka Kaka! Jinhyuk rotated his fangs counterclockwise. ''exactly It''s gotten stronger to get stronger.'' In the past, it was just an annoying leech... . I can feel it in my body that I have grown so much that I don''t know. I don''t know, but he must have been harshly trained by Chuhonsayoung. Cheon Yu-seong lowered his posture and immediately prepared for the next attack. Whoops! A sword that spreads through the tip of the sword. There, a new expression of the Soul Sword unfolded. At the same time. Jinhyuk also developed a new Basic Form along the air. Chuhon Sword Dance (׷ꄦ). Demon Sword Dance (ħꄦ). different swordsmanship. However, the end that the two swords pursue is the same. Formula 5 (ʽ). Formula 5 (ʽ). Cooling is just a process for the end. Annihilation Heaven (׷)! Ma Yeon-chung (ħXһn)! Soul Sword and Demon Sword. Aww! The two seasons offset each other''s energy. [A new kind of ether arises!] A yellow spark erupted between the black and white spheres. This opened up a new avenue. Just a little more... Heavenly Demon''s dexterity will be restored to a large extent. Even if it''s not in its prime, at least it''s enough to paint it, so it''s worth a shot. right then How are you? The sword of the heavenly star stopped for the first time. Huh? What? How is my sword. Is there anything different from before? If anything has changed, tell me how much has changed. anyway. Because this guy is totally a kid. It is like a cat that appears in front of its owner with a bunch of food on it for praise. ''You are the opponent I can use my abilities as much as I want.'' I was going to say something like this... . The young judges are twisted to see that guy so proud. ''I can''t see it until it gets into the dirt in my eyes.'' Above all else, if he hides his claws with satisfaction, there will be a setback in restoring Heavenly Demon''s strength. Because what we need now is a stick, not a carrot. It''s not bad... Maybe, that''s not all there is? Hey, I don''t think it''s changed much from before... No matter how rough I practiced, this is the only hand I''ve ever prepared. Jinhyuk shrugged. What, what? I''d rather Wolyeong is better, what does that mean? " " Whoops! Cheon Yu-seong broke his molar and bit it. ...Okay. Then, I''ll show you that you can''t fuss. Cheon Yoosung held the sword with both hands. It''s not perfect yet, but The tomb of the Soul Sword is in that sword. ''Yes This guy was also a ranker who would receive the title of swordsmanship.'' I was always joking so I didn''t know. It''s getting a little real now. Cheon Yu-seong is also one of the few talented worms that can go to the upper floors of the tower. huuuuuuuuuoooooooooooooooooo A sword that leaves a remnant and increases in number more and more. It was as if hundreds of blades were materialized. After a while, all those weapons will explode towards you. "It will be difficult to avoid all of this." exactly . This is a little dangerous. Jinhyuk extended his fangs forward. "As you said, it would be difficult to avoid everything." if so . I''ll smash everything in front of you. Pants! The typed qi began to bend in the shape of a half moon. Black Moon Night. A black crescent moon hung over the dagger. It is the skill that made Cheon Yu-seong drink a few bitter glasses. CH 318 . Song of Swords (3) Boo woo woo! Jinhyuk blew the Black Moon Night. The black moon rotated at high speed and rushed towards the blades made by Cheonyuseong. fast. Before the afterimage was even gone, it had penetrated into the opponent''s formation in an instant. But just before Black Moon Night smashed the swords. How long did you know that I would just walk in the same place forever! [Chean Yuseong activates Lv17 ''Swords and Gods All-In-One (һ)''!] [All stats related to swordsmanship are increased by 50%!] The swords, which were suddenly suspended in the air, moved at odd angles. Black Moon Night passed through the empty space and disappeared beyond the sky. A skill that allows you to freely handle a sword in mid-air using Ki. This is the new skill I learned. It''s a ''Gear Sword''. Cheon Yuseong drew the sword horizontally. Correspondingly, dozens of knives moved in different orbits. Unlike simply shooting in a straight trajectory, it would be more accurate to view that all those swords now have their own free will. Yeah. Swordsmanship! Do you want to make some money by doing a circus with that? Damn! You''re supposed to be nervous! Can you afford to clap your hands when you see this? Huh? Can''t we clap? Damn. Put down his glow stick too. Before you turn it into a very beehive. It''s too much. I really thought it was great, so I did it. To be honest, I didn''t expect Cheon Yu-seong to pull out a sword at the current level. Much more than I thought No, I practiced with a very heartbreaking heart. Obviously, there are very few people who can defeat Cheonyuseong if they have mastered it up to this point. There was nothing to say other than that the excellent talent and the effort to go beyond it were perfect. only. If he has only one misfortune... . It''s just that you''ve chosen the wrong opponent. don''t show me What is a real Igear sword? huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The space was distorted, and a translucent sword appeared. "This is maybe." Uh, how...? Oh . you . An earthquake occurred in the pupils of everyone who was watching. How could you not know? If the end of swordsmanship is to be able to move the sword in the sky. Creating an intangible sword would be the end of martial arts. Heavenly Demon. ''Heart Sword''. I saw it in Heavenly Demon''s memory. The strongest season that hurt Shub Niguras. This is the Igear sword I have. The limitations of seeing and imitating are clear. However, even if it is a forged model, the fundamentals do not change. Jinhyuk also crossed his fangs laterally. Then, as if answering that call. The sword has disappeared. Ugh? Cheon Yuseong''s eyes widened rapidly. Pop! The deep sword, which he had missed out of sight, cut one of the swords he had made in half. But no surprise. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Dozens of swords made by Cheonyuseong became thousands of blade fragments and began to crumble. Oh . short. A very short sigh came out. The Tower of Trials appeared and many things happened. For some it was despair. Those days were hope for some. Cheon Yu-seong was the latter among them. If you start over... . This is the only time I will be able to go back to the beginning and achieve the best performance and growth. So I tried to die. Although we have suffered the same defeat over and over again, we did not give up and moved forward. As a result. Meet Sayoung Chu... You have entered an area that you could not reach in the past. The best place everyone dreams of. If this were the case, the guy would have no choice but to panic. There were only a few dozen of the players, as well as the residents, who knew how to handle the Igear sword. But . always, always. The opponent went ahead. I can''t even dare to pursue it. ''Master... I''m even surprised, there''s no way I can be your opponent.'' Cheon Yuseong blankly looked at the blades that turned into powder and flew away. Even the Heavenly Demon is surprised... There''s nothing you can do on your own. Only once in a changed world. I''ve only dreamed of one win. I''ve survived with that single thought. By what means are you going to defeat such a monster? lost. Cheon Yu-seong calmly dropped the plum blossom sword. Whoops! The sword stuck to the ground. [Heavenly Demon''s dexterity is amazingly restored!] [The harmony of yin and yang reaches its climax!] Countless status windows appear. Numerous spheres were sucked into the body of the Heavenly Demon along with the golden mist. With this, the purpose was achieved. Except for at least one. Chuhon Sa-young approached Cheon Yu-seong, who was unable to raise her head. Chun Confucius did a good job. But... Yes. However, the opponent was just too bad. Chuhon Sa-young patted Cheon Yu-seong''s back. Master... sir. I... You don''t have to say anything. This teacher is by your side. Next time, try climbing to a higher level and try again. "Again once again. Are you talking about it? I''ve gotten stronger here how the hell " Chu Hon Sa-young comforted him, but Cheon Yu-seong still couldn''t raise his head. No words will comfort you. The continued failure and setbacks have made even those with strong wills break their hearts. at that time. I''ll be going to the ruins on the 19th floor soon. I need at least three talented people of the same level as me. Jinhyuk came. what? Do you remember too? There was a guy from the 3rd force among the factions I met at the masquerade. A representative of the third force in the shape of a dryad. infant sis. There was one ruin that had to be attacked with that woman. And the entry condition for the ruins is at least 3 players. Of course, there was no condition that the skills between the players were equal, but ''The purpose has been achieved... Now I have to throw in a carrot.'' Cheon Yu-seong, who is hurt and depressed, well, I don''t want to see him that much. There aren''t many people who can fight together without grabbing their ankles. You''re the first one that comes to mind. " obviously, did the system say that you need a player of the same level?" Huh? Ah... Uh. That''s right. Maybe? Would I lie like that? It''s dangerous, so only those strong enough should come in. Class... Slowly meditate on those words. Yeah. If I think about it, I''m still a little behind. Actually, it wasn''t a big difference. It would have been enough if the mana distribution had been a little better. I''d have dug into it before your guy used the Simsword. Ummm. Well, maybe? Is it a single sheet of paper difference? Indeed, it was a waste. Cheon Yoosung nodded as if he understood something. The dark face opened up little by little as if it had ever been. anyway. It''s hard to tell if this guy is pessimistic or positive. He has such a face like an iron plate, so he must have been following the day and night in the past and swinging his sword to fight. So are you going with me or not? Sheesh. I don''t like it, but if you ask me to do that, I''d like to go with you in particular. As long as the price is distributed fairly. I caught another fool with this. After Cheon Yu-seong''s mental recovery to some extent, this time Heavenly Demon and Dark Hwang approached. It''s amazing. I didn''t know I''d ever see a Simsword here. I''ve heard the phrase Cheongchuleoram many times, but it''s the first time I''ve seen a talented person who makes it happen. Uh-huh. Ji-Jon. What do you mean by that? No matter how much I... Amhwang glanced at Jinhyuk. Hey heh! I''m still stronger. Yeah, it''s still like that. Be engrossed in the brief glory. From the point of view of the main seat, it''s not too far away. Heavenly Demon smiled softly. The two of them were arguing, but Jinhyuk did not catch his eye at all. It was because he was pouring all his heart into barely swallowing the burst of cheers. I couldn''t help but be happy. [Your understanding of Heavenly Demon is very high, so the copied abilities are increased.] [You have mastered the new Heavenly Demon ''10 Stars''.] [Heavenly Demon Goddess (ħ)] Acquisition Difficulty: SSS Contents: A new project consisting of a total of 12 Basic Forms. As far as destructive power is concerned, it has attack power that can reach even divinities. [The copied ability is stored in ''Memory of the World''.] finally got my hands on it One of the two Mugongs that must be copied from Moorim. That''s an achievement equivalent to a whopping 10 stars. ''I think it would be perfect if I put the word here because it''s an invitation.'' I expected a high castle to come out, but this was a completely unexpected reward. It means that the effect of monopoly and understanding of Heavenly Demon is beyond imagination. ''All that''s left is... I''ll have to copy it when I come back to Moorim after a while.'' Jinhyuk quietly drew up a plan in his head. How to move forward, and what needs to be gathered for him. entire. But that was then. Pants! A blue light flickered in the sky. ''That one?'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. To call it an ordinary lightning... . Avoid! The speed of the lightning was falling faster than the shouting. KwaKwaKwaaah! A dazzlingly bright blue lightning blew through the internodes in the bamboo forest. Kukuku! A great fire erupted. A huge blue flame that completely engulfed the wooden building. Something more overwhelming than the flames was revealed. Jittery! the skin... throb this feeling. this feeling. The mana that was transmitted through the smoke alone made me feel how absurd the opponent was. This guy is going to get out of here. Koooooooooh! The heavens resounded. blue dragon. Oriental Sacred beast dealing with rain and clouds. contractor! Elise immediately appeared in front as if protecting Jinhyuk. [Ellis activates her unique ability ''Blood Lord''!] To protect everyone from Dragon Fear. A shield made of blood unfolded. In the meantime, the smoke was completely gone. All the worms have gathered here. The voice was heard from the top of the blue dragon''s head. Naturally, the sleeping blue dragon couldn''t have woken up on its own. Left-handed method ''Samaja''. That man is the culprit behind all of this. Sama... come on. How dare you show that face, where is this guy who wouldn''t mind tearing and killing him! Heavenly Demon and the Dark Huang were the most indignant. As the person who had the instep cut off appeared in front of him, of course, his anger was soaring. Jinhyuk was also annoyed. It was a pretty warm atmosphere, but he plays the chess game very well. So, did you believe that one lizard and attacked this way? I think it''s too shabby to be called a military force. The situation in which more than half of the main rivers have been lost. In addition, the wire, which became stronger as time passed, was too difficult to break through with the remaining gangsters. However. I''ve dealt with a large number of gangsters so far. Do you think it''s because you''re smart? Have you ever thought that I induced it on purpose? what? significant topic. As a result, all the circumstances so far have passed by like a lantern. Clues and clues are combined. The path the rivers go. Come to think of it, at a certain moment, Samaza gave up on the optimized attack and twisted the movement of the strong men needlessly. It''s like drawing a giant picture while marching. At that moment, Jinhyuk''s mouth slowly opened. Did you draw the truth? Jinbeop? What does that mean? Alice, who did not understand yet, asked. The Kangxis moved and drew sketches... The whole moorim was his giant map, and the blood that flowed from the Gangsi made Shamanism of the blood system activated. Hey, you''re not that stupid. The samaja put on a sly smile. At the same time. huuuuuuuuuoooooooooooooooooo Dark clouds came from the sky. Soon after, a huge number of red letters began to appear through the clouds. Luoyang will be captured as of today. Kie-ee! Ke-e-e! The letters were opened, and the corresponding number of gangsters howled. And you guys will all die today. The blue dragon''s jaws widened open at the gesture of the samaja. CH 319 . War of Dragons (1) burning pavilion. dying people. It didn''t take a few minutes for the splendid capital to fall. Aww! aaah! Sa, save people! People in chaos fled here and there in search of a way to live. However, there is no way out of Luoyang, which is completely sealed off. This will be a huge tomb. Hey, how did this happen? There was also an emergency in the Moorim League. In Luoyang, various types of barriers and methods were spread out to block external enemies, but The large-scale space movement spread out in the sky right now seems to be ridiculing it. It was getting bigger and bigger. right then in the sky... . Along with the lightning, the rivers covered in blood fell. KwaKwaKwabang! Kie-ee! Keeek! In order to win consecutive victories, the warriors and sages belonging to the Moorim League raised the front even higher. For this reason, Luoyang was like an empty house. At this time, the heart was hit, so the damage was inevitable. Of course, there were a lot of masters above the peak level, but . What? That white gangster? no way . Yeah. I''m sure it''s the river in the treasury! white spirit. The Heavenly Demon, the strongest gangster of the Shinto religion, who has dealt with the ceremonial duty in one blow in the Mist Office. In all likelihood, in such a desperate situation, he encountered an enemy whose power could not be measured. sabak. Footsteps without a sense of weight continued. Whiter nails grew out of his white hands. Sreung! Representatives of each clan drew their swords. And that moment. Chun! uh? The white spirit disappeared. I couldn''t follow the leaping motion with my eyes. Be careful! At the same time as I shouted, I raised my senses, It was after the neck of the Elder Congregationalist, who was already at the forefront, had disappeared. Push! Push Shun ! Long veins of blood spewed from the severed neck. No, that''s absurd. Empty! This It''s not a fast area. The speed is so overwhelming that you can only realize it after being hit. Open up! Hyohwa unfolded the Basic Form of Twelve Swords of Plum Blossom. The plum blossoms bloomed in the air, and the blades began to dance. Kaka Kaka Kaka! The sword and claws collided, and a dazzling flame rose. However. ! A sharp moan escaped Hyo-hwa''s mouth. heavy It wasn''t just that he was fast, but there was a terrifying energy in each blow. puff puff puff! Aww! Another colleague next door was hit. like that. Gagging. Aww! The masters of the Moorim League lost their lives one after another in the order of their lack of skills. I just never imagined that Kangshi would be this strong. If it''s like this... . can''t go far Everyone in the bamboo forest looked at the burning Luoyang. Everyone was at a loss for words in such a shocking situation. It looks like you''ve been stabbed in the right direction. Seeing that bewildered expression on your face, the congestion you''ve accumulated while being attacked by you is going away. A satisfied smile hung on the corner of the sama''s lips. Yes. It''s already late. There is nothing an individual can do against thousands of gangsters. Above all, now is not the time for you guys to worry about those over there. [The four-way god ''Blue Dragon'' activates the ''Original Holy Spear''!] Koooooooh! Five colors of light began to condense along the giant blue Dragon''s mouth. Needless to say, I know what it is. Breath. It is a method that uses the energy dissolved in the atmosphere, which is slightly different from the Western Dragon. Of course, the ark was no different in that it had power beyond imagination. 1 second. 2 seconds... 3 seconds. Chunks of mana, compressed to the limit, added more and more to its size. Jinhyuk''s gaze turned to the back. ''Even if the Heavenly Demon has recovered its inner strength, it must be fortune-torn to refine it.'' Moreover, the body of the Heavenly Demon is not yet complete enough to use the Heavenly Demon Gods freely. Master and Chuhonsayoung must have exhausted their strengths due to the sparing a while ago. All the elements were smiling towards the samaja. Perhaps this is also the situation he arranged for. It took a lot of hard work to crawl up to here. So just die. Samaza''s fingertips pointed forward. That''s it. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The energy created by rain and wind exploded towards one point. A blade made of air began to burn the surroundings. whatever it touches I''m just helpless in front of that breath. In the first place, there is no way to fight against what is a natural disaster. But right then. Amhwang and Chuhonsayeong came out. Still, it was boring to fight only with humans. Did you say Dragon? I wonder how strong it will be! I wonder if someone is crazy about fighting. Do you still say those words when you see that? The Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong and the Soul Sword unfolded to the extreme. At the same time. I just came out for a walk! I''m sure I''m eating more meat dumplings! Elise threw a huge harpoon made of blood. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Three skills merged into one. KwaKwaKwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa! When it collided with Breath, all visions turned white. A shock as if the whole mountain was blown away engulfed my whole body. When my vision returned, quite a few things had changed. What used to be a mountain is no longer a mountain. A huge crater behind the bamboo forest. Traces of Flame Infusion left by breath as it traversed the clouds. Everything told me just how absurd the strike was. Ugh... Ugh. Dark Hwang and Chuhonsayeong used up their bets to the floor to block the breath following the rain. Aww... Elise, too, was reckless. Hey. How can you endure it? Indeed, it''s like the friendship law of Heavenly Demon Protestantism. The rest have powers that are hard to believe are human beings. The samaza was genuinely admired. A human surviving against Dragon''s authority. How could this not be praised? However. That''s all. Just blocking one attack was not enough for a long time. The sama''s gaze turned to one side. There was a being still standing still. Khahaha! Great Heavenly Demon. Seeing you in good health, this left-handed method. I don''t know where to put my body. It looks like I''ve recovered about half of it. Had it been for another half day, you wouldn''t have dared to come here. After half a day, the fortune-telling breakfast was over, and I was able to fully absorb the inner air. just... If only I had half a day more. Of course, you must have. If you were in your prime, no matter how much you had a blue dragon, I wouldn''t have dared to do this. However, for this moment, please praise this sama-ja''s plan for calculating half the day. kukukuku! Once again, the weather shook. As dark clouds gather around the blue dragon. A thunderstorm started to fall. For the blue dragon who controls the weather, there is no such thing as running out of mana. Because nature itself was the source of its power. In other words. It also means that it is possible to blow the breath to infinity. Let''s get down on one knee, do you know? Will I spare you with mercy? Are you asking the main seat to kneel? Isn''t life more important than self-esteem? You''ve talked a lot while I haven''t seen you. Stop flirting and flirting. Heavenly Demon reached out with a calm expression. [Heavenly Demon New God... .] Even if you fall for QiGong Deviation. Even if the bet is twisted and he vomits blood and dies miserably. I had no intention of kneeling down on my opponent. I''d rather die fighting. I will live and die as a Heavenly Demon until the very end. But right then. You must have been very excited, can I just say one word for a second? Jinhyuk intervened. Your turn will come a little later, so wait. After killing Heavenly Demon, of course, you will also stop breathing. The samaji drew a line. Jinhyuk wasn''t the top priority right now. But in the next word. Samaza''s eyebrows were curved in an inverted manner. "I already knew that I was going to draw the truth through the strong poems." It''s a bluff. Saying that you already knew about the spilled water is only an excuse. Sima-ja pointed to Luoyang as if it were purple. Seeing the huge saint transforming into a sea of fire, the corners of Samja''s lips went up even more. Look carefully. This is the result. That demon territory is proving whose strategy is superior. No, you''re watching carefully. Jinhyuk raised his right hand toward the sky. The flames from the fingertips pierced the barrier and soared high into the sky. Whoops! As the flame exploded, a rune of about 10m in size was created in the air. It''s ridiculous. Do you want to make fireworks before you die? The sama snorted. It looks like it sent a signal. It was too far for the elite factions belonging to the Moorim League to come to Luoyang. Because all of their paths had already been penetrated. But at that very moment. A strange thing happened. Boo woo woo! A deep horn sound that doesn''t match Moorim. "This is maybe?" The samaza quickly turned her head. it is west A great energy was rising from the west. And as if to respond, the torches went up all at once along the western plain of Luoyang. In the thick fog, the torches that had been visible one by one increased to dozens in an instant, and then to thousands. Doo doo doo doo! What followed was a roar that shook the earth''s axis. The flag of the empire is waving. Heavy armored cavalry surrounded by iron armor quickly narrowed the distance towards the castle. I thought I was going to die because I came here within a week. Fortunately, it seems it''s not too late. The Grand Sword Master, Abraham, appeared at the forefront. Next to him was Penheimer. They say there are a lot of undead monsters, so be careful. You can''t even expect the firepower of wizards to use concealment magic against this large number of cavalry. Am I talking? " well, as long as there are knights made up of Sir Abraham and the Sword Master, no matter how many undead there are, it will be meaningless." at that time. Well? A strong aura was caught in Abraham''s senses. A pure white gangster with white skin. As if he had already harmed a great number of people, his nails were dyed black because they were red. I''ll take over that guy. [Ebraham activates ''Aura Blade''!] Aura in blue and white that covered the sword and rose more than 2m. Abraham drove the horse in a straight line. kwaang! Acceleration overlapped, creating the illusion of bullets crossing the battlefield. Unbelievable. An earthquake occurred in Samaza''s pupil. It was a strategy that calculated all the variables that might exist at all. But how the hell does this happen? Why did the hostile empire come here to help the Moorim? I couldn''t understand at all. But no matter how hard I tried to deny it. I couldn''t make the reality unfolding before my eyes a lie. The scene where the heavy armored cavalry wiped out the Gangsi and restored the castle was an unmistakable reality. "It''s a little early to be surprised I haven''t even finished the hand I prepared yet." Jinhyuk opened his subspace inventory. Pants! A purple spark rose through the crack. The dragon''s sword ''Balmung''. In mythology, the relic of Siegfried who cut down the Dragon... . finally showed up At first glance, he is a newcomer who doesn''t seem too serious. Aww! The blue dragon let out a scream. He must have realized instinctively that the bald eagle was a threat. ! The samaja tried to send the blue dragon up into the sky. No matter how powerful a sword is, if it attacks from afar, it will be useless. Let''s turn everything to ashes with Breath once again! Boo woo woo! A blue dragon perched on the top of the stream attracted rain and clouds. However. Again, there was one thing that Sima-ja had misunderstood. Possessing a Dragon... . the fact that it''s not enough. come. Jinhyuk injected mana into the bracelet. [You used ''Returner''s Bracelet''!] [The bracelet''s second ability is activated!] [Dimensions and dimensions are linked.] A returnee from another dimension. And the resulting dimensional connection. This is the legacy left behind by the returnee. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A pure white energy arose beyond the connected dimension. [Ancient species ''???'' is present!] the clouds split What appeared beyond the gate. Koooooooh! In the same way, it was the existence of a heavenly world that could not be explained by common sense and reason. CH 320 . Dragon Wars (2) ancient dragon. A term referring to the strongest predator that inhabits the upper floors of the tower. [Ancient species ''???'' is present!] A huge Dragon appeared with a dark red spark. Koooooooooo...! The atmosphere trembles just by roaring low. The thick dark clouds were splitting left and right. The heavy mana that engulfed the surroundings also disappeared like a lie. By a stronger being... . Existing things are being erased. Aww! The blue dragon let out a sharp cry. Rather than trying to fight back, it was closer to the urge not to touch him. The embarrassment was the same for Samaza. No, that''s absurd... It took ten years just to wake the blue dragon from sleep. Unimaginable wealth and manpower were put into drawing the true method of obeying the awakened blue dragon. It was possible because of the position of the second person in Heavenly Demon Protestantism. It was a feat that no one would have dared even try if it were not for him. after so much hard work. He acquired a Sacred beast as huge as an entire faction. Whether it''s the Moorimmeng or the toothless Heavenly Demon. There''s nothing that can stop you from moving forward. Now it was the turn of all the plans to finally come to fruition. I should have... . ''It''s not enough to move an empire... Are you saying you''re even wielding such an absurd dragon?'' This is far beyond the realm of what an individual can do. I wanted to spit out abusive language right away, but it was a luxury to do so now. have to respond at any cost. Kill it! Now! Simaja concentrated the bet. [[Golden Magic] ''network addiction'' is activated!] uuung! Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo The blue dragon''s pupils were dyed red. A golden technique that removes reason and makes you obey only orders. Even if the opponent is a top predator, this can somehow make them fight. A terrifying mana spewed out of the woman''s clothing held in her claws. Foul! Tsutsu! It was then that a yellow spark appeared between the cracked dark clouds. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Dozens of lightning bolts fell from the sky. Directly towards the head of the sweet potato. But. [[Ancient species ''???'' is Lv???] I use the ''long term before the record''!] The falling lightnings became a handful of smoke and scattered. As if the fact that had been triggered at all had been negated. Even if the proverb is the same, there is a difference between the blue dragon and the ancient species as much as the sky and the earth. Jinhyuk slowly opened his mouth to Samja, who is now almost crying. If you want to fight with one earthworm, one female guinea pig will not be enough. Koooooooh! It spread its wings like a sweet potato in response. As if he could no longer see the blue dragon looking down at him from the air. Boo woo woo! Soon after, a huge body soared high into the sky. Aww! Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Two dragons met in Sangcheon. What followed was a struggle for each other to stop breathing. The relatively fast blue dragon moved at high speed, aiming for a gap. Based on a flexible body, the technique of riding the wind is outstanding. On the other hand, the sweet potato tried to snatch the body of the approaching blue dragon while holding its center. If you ever get caught... . With that, the slender blue dragon''s body would be split in two. Kee! The blue dragon, avoiding the claws of the sweet potato, grabbed his back. One of the factors that determines the power of breath is the activation time. Depending on how long the qi is collected, its destructive power varies greatly. Of course, the one who gets a seat first has an overwhelming advantage in terms of firepower. Whoops! First, the blue dragon, who started collecting breaths, released the mana that he had collected to the limit. Subsequently, the sweet potato also vomited blue salt. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Two breaths collided in the air. The track shifted, and the sweet potato breath headed towards the mountain behind the blue dragon. Aww! Power enough to make a small mountain disappear entirely. However, the fight has only just begun. While the dragons are at war. The sama, who was left alone, put a blood on his neck. You''re really terribly disturbing. What''s the reason? You''re probably just a player whose goal is to climb the tower. If you''re on my side, you can easily go to the next floor... Why are you so deeply involved? Reason... . In fact, even if you are on the side of the original Samajah, you can still achieve the condition of going to the next floor of the tower. As he said, it would have been much less laborious and easier on that side. But that''s it. Living is not just about efficiency. met the master to carry out what you believe in. No matter how much the power is tilted, no matter how much power the person served has lost all power... . He did not abandon his lord. I met Heavenly Demon. Even if he is not remembered by anyone, he fought to protect the world he was in and to exist as Moorim. Even though the end was tragic, he never had any regrets. I''m just going to let go of everything. I can''t see the trash that has been slaughtered by any means and methods, who betrayed the person who believed in them, wins and loses. That''s not the way I climb the tower. The normal thing to see in that way is Obviously, it will be different from normal in the past. Because the summit of the Tower of Trials did not exist for such people. And you''ve come all the way here, are you still arguing with questions and answers? If you''re the head of a faction, you''ll have to fight it yourself instead of leaving it to your subordinates. Jinhyuk stretched his feet forward. Boo-woong! The sword drew a graceful curve, and a purple cloud appeared along the trail. Yeah... I''m going to die if I cover up the means and methods as you said. In fact, I''ll risk my life and death in this fight too. Whoops. A white jewel came out of the samaja''s arms. A magic stone that holds an indescribable light. no doubt It is the ''white flame woman''s woman''. Of course being able to handle the spirit like a dragon with a human body, ''If you use Yeouiju... It is also possible to create a new Dragon.'' [Samaja summons the dragons.] huuuuuuuuuoooooooooooooooooo A strange mana occurred along the ground. I never thought I''d be writing this. Dragons covered in blue scales appeared next to Samaza. It''s a little different from the blue dragon that fights sweet potatoes. In a much smaller size, the Yeouiju held in her claws also contained a mana that was embarrassing to be called a Yeouiju. It''s a Flame Infusion version made with gold magic. Its size and power are only one tenth of the body''s. However. Even if that''s enough, it''s strong enough to kill any top-level master with ease. Moreover, the small dragons in front of Jinhyuk now were not just one. total seven. Kurre... Kieek! The little dragons threatened Jinhyuk with their mouths wide open. I didn''t expect this... . "It''s pretty good. To be honest, I was a little surprised by this one. Did you have such a female maiden drink and hid it without using it until now?" It''s the trump card that was prepared to destroy the empire. It hurts to have to use it on you guys, but there''s nothing I can do about it. Even if the ancient bell is overpowering the blue dragon, it will be several more hours before it stops breathing. In other words. It means that there is no one who can help Jinhyuk right now. However. Even in the situation where he was completely surrounded by dragons, there was no other change in Jinhyuk''s expression. He was still staring at the samaja coldly. The attitude of pretending to be relaxed is even disgusting now. Rather, beg for his life. You already know that you are drowning in fear. Well. Do I really have to? no need to be scared. There is no reason to be afraid. At least as for the Balaur... . Because, at this moment, I was able to show the best compatibility in the entire Tower of Trials. Jinhyuk injected mana into his feet. don''t tell me smart The winner of this battle has already been decided. Pants! The Dragon Killer Sword, who had slept for hundreds of thousands of eons on the sword, recalled the memories. [Balmung''s special ability has been used.] [Lv5 ''Battlefield Selection'' is activated!] [Reproduce the myth.] the eyes turn black Even Samaza, who was glaring at him with the same kind of life. Even the small dragons that absorb the qi dissolved in the air to exhale breath. Everything was erased from the senses. And when I open my eyes again. Everything I could see had completely changed. Fafnir''s corpse, which has now become a skeleton. The place where the myth of Siegfried rests. This is the ''Tomb of the Demonic Dragon''. There''s no way they would have moved to another place in that brief moment. Maybe it''s a form of Shamanism? The samaja looked around in disbelief. Of course, I can''t help but be embarrassed because I came across a different space out of nowhere. The small dragons also growled low with anxious faces. It is instinctively felt. That every minute and every second here is fatal to them. pounding! pounding! pounding! Jinhyuk''s heart was beating like crazy. The experience of a great hero melts and permeates into the body. ''Indeed, it is because the strongest is the strongest.'' A feeling of excitement and exaltation dominated my whole body. The memory of slicing the Dragon squirmed to recreate the feat at any moment. great. Jinhyuk used ''Sword Magical Cheonryeongbo''. The new model disappeared with the wind. Tuk! The place that appeared was in the middle of the small dragons. As if two souls reside in one body. The same sword attack unfolded even though it was heterogeneous. KwaKwaKwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa! A storm rages. Keeek! The body of the closest small dragon was cut in half. Ugh!? An earthquake occurred in Samaza''s pupil. The dragon''s scales covered in wind energy will be cut off with one blow. This is nonsense. Even the Heavenly Demon, who reached the level of talma, could not slash the small dragons'' scales with a single sword strike. That''s... . Oh, you mean more than that? You? It means that it is one step above Heavenly Demon. Whole body with Siegfried. For about 3 minutes when the skill is activated. ''I surpass the Heavenly Demon.'' He doesn''t do anything to suppress the runaway mana. Jinhyuk stabbed the feet he was holding with both hands at high speed. Puffy! This time, the upper body of a small dragon has disappeared. There was no bird to scream or escape. Two of them died in an instant, and the rest of the small dragons gathered together in one place. Koooooooh! The strongest unique holy spear possessed by dragons. It''s ''Breath''. kukukuku! The five of them at the same time began to make a huge mass of mana. The energy of rain and wind condensed toward one point. "Then, I''ll bring out something that suits you, too." If Dragon had Breath. Siegfried has a sword that can cut through the breath. A purple-grade relic. The demonic sword that cut down the demonic dragon. He roared wildly again. [Limited ability ''Dragon Slayer'' is activated!] A sword specialized only in killing dragons. And the sword strike that can force the result through that sword. Starting from the tip of Balmung. A line white as snow cut through the space. CH 321 . Dragon Wars (3) Scratch! A sharp cutting sound resounded. Like . The world seems to have been cut in half. Kek! Kee... The small dragons'' bodies slowly collapsed. Five dragons fell to the sword attack that occurred without a moment''s reaction. The earthworms seem to have ended with this... Jinhyuk wiped the blood from his feet. The tip of the sword pointed towards the samaja. Now you are the only one left. Finally, the one-on-one situation was established. ...Yeah. Maybe it was a mistake to just leave it in the hands of others. Sreung! The samaji drew his sword. On a blade made of old-fashioned iron, the dungeon poison possessed by the party is smeared. Hey. It''s a pretty expensive sword. If you bring it to my blacksmith later, he''ll be happy. When you see the inspiration of Orun, you will be craving for it. Of course, there was a high probability that it would be destroyed while making a fuss about strengthening it. You''re going to take... the sword of the main seat? You? There''s nothing you can''t do. You seem to have looked down on you quite a bit. I understand. Since he only showed me how to play tricks from behind, I can''t help but look so conceited. Whoops! A black energy arose at the tip of the sword. [Samaja activates ''Heavenly Demon New God''!] Only demons recognized by heaven. Heavenly Demon is gone. Who do you think will take over? The completed Heavenly Demon new work unfolded. If I had to pick the strongest ability in the offensive world... . One of the must-have abilities. The Heavenly Demon Goddess was a Mugong that inspires fear in all people just by being mentioned. By the way. bang! kwaang! bang! As the sword strikes crossed, the sama-ja''s face became more and more sinisterly distorted. Heavenly Demon, who is said to have no rival under the sky. No matter how much the opponent learned the improvised ability from Heavenly Demon, there was no way he could be compared to the one who trained to cut bones. Because the quality of training and the experiences they had accumulated were completely different. ! bang! He managed to receive the great sword that flew at an angle. Obviously, the large and dull-looking black power was a natural reason to be pushed back in speed. That''s how it should be... . Kaka Kaka Kaka! the problem is. The point is that the opponent can freely play with that big sword as if he were handling a pinwheel. ''What is this... .'' The sama''s body shook violently. once once. Each time I was attacked, I could feel my arms getting heavier and heavier. Didn''t you confidently say that you learned the Heavenly Demon new skill? If you were so embarrassed, you wouldn''t be able to close your eyes even if you died? Jinhyuk groaned once more. Don''t be ridiculous! This session hasn''t even started properly yet. That''s what he said, but whoever looked at it, he could see a sharp decline in the charters. As for the difference in weapons... . ''I also have a pitiful new recruit if I am the second in the whole Moorim.'' Or is it because of this changed landscape? An eul-like place where the skeleton of a giant Dragon is lying. After moving to a new place other than Moorim, it was felt that the consumption of bets became severe. I''m not sure exactly what it is. ''What is certain is that I will be pushed.'' If I dragged on any more time, the great sword must have fled my neck. Whoops! The samaja broke the molar and bit it. I didn''t want to admit it, but my opponent was stronger. if so . kukukuku! Ignoring defense, I gave up on speed. The strength that spread across the sword increased its size even more. One-hit fatality (һؚ). It is the result of investing everything in cutting power by adding strength to strength. It''s going to take a whole day if you look here and there. If you''re a man, don''t avoid it and try this game this time. Surely you won''t do such a frivolous thing like dragging it into a long-term battle and winning it? Samaja provoked Jinhyuk. It''s a cheap provocation that''s not even worth reciprocating. It''s a cheap provocation, but... . Why? Jinhyuk, who was moving at high speed, came to a standstill. caught Although he didn''t show it outwardly, Jinhyuk also didn''t have time. [Reproduction of myth] [Time remaining: 0h:0m:27s] 27 seconds. After that, you have to fight Samaza by squeezing out your exhausted stamina and mana. ''Putting the opponent into a mental predicament worked.'' Rather, the lack of time adhered to an even more time-consuming strategy, but the method of stabbing the truth worked as it was. Jinhyuk smiled a little. ''Let''s hold on a little longer.'' It seemed that he would faint at any moment due to the mana that went into manifesting the body of the sweet potato and the mana consumed by the battle with the blue dragon. It doesn''t matter though. Because this fight has now come to an end. Pants! Her feet were dyed a deep purple. He is trying to concentrate all his energy in order to produce the maximum explosive power. This time I''ll put an end to it! The samaja moved faster in half a beat. cross cut. From left to right. A blue sword was drawn. I''m sorry, but it''s too much for you. vertical cut. from top to bottom. A black sword strike fell. Aww! Light and light collided. Aww! A thick tendon protruded from the samaja''s forehead. Ugh! A thin stream of blood flowed from Jinhyuk''s nose. Due to mana''s runaway, the muscles of her whole body screamed. Kak kak kak... . sparks happen The flames flickered like mad. It was only a few seconds later that the whistle was out of balance. [All skill usage time has expired.] [Reproduction of the myth is canceled.] A status window indicating the end appeared. At the same time, the power of Siegfried and the place that reproduced it disappeared. short moment. The joys were mixed. Damn! At this point... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! The samaja went mad. As the familiar Moorim reappeared, my confidence grew even more. As long as he knew that Jinhyuk''s strength had run out, it was as if the fight had already ended. The sama''s arm trembled thinly. Just a little bit more and I could be decapitated. Samaza was also exposed to the bottom of the interior, so it was impossible to finish it. To win for sure... . Blue Dragon! Calling the Sacred beast fighting. Koooooooh! The blue dragon, who had been fighting fiercely with the sweet potato, roared. It was because he instinctively realized that he would lose his life if he turned his back on it. However. Simaja suppressed the blue dragon''s instincts using gold magic. ''It''s a little pricey, but it doesn''t matter anyway.'' Even if you lose Blue Dragon, if you kill Jin-hyeok on the spot and wipe out all the rest, it''s a business that remains. Above all else, as long as there was ''Yeouiju of White Flame'', there was a way to eventually grow other small dragons. at last. Aww! The blue dragon, who had completely lost his mind, flew towards Jinhyuk''s place. The idea is to end it with a six-shot assault. With this... A mischievous smile crept on the corner of Samja''s lips. It''s over! Blue Dragon approached Jinhyuk''s nose. Close enough to almost touch your breath. And that moment. Big? what !? Like a lie, the blue dragon''s body stood tall in the air. Is this what it feels like to be tied tightly to an invisible thread? Uh, what happened to this! Blue Dragon! Swallow that guy right now. I''m going to tear it apart with those teeth! The samaja put a bloodline around his neck. have no choice but to be in a hurry Before the ancient dragon killed the blue dragon, I had to hurry up and fulfill my role. Blue Dragon... what are you doing now...! Don''t rush like that. He''s working hard, isn''t he? Jinhyuk smiled brightly. With the giant blue dragon''s teeth in front of him, he looks so relaxed. Did you do something else with Excellent grade? It''s not great, I was just joking around a bit. [The 10-star barrier ''Sacred beast''s Trap'' is activated.] As Jinhyuk flicked his middle finger and thumb, blue runes began to appear along the way. A high barrier equivalent to 10 stars. It was a range-type binding spell created through the ''ancient barrier''. Uh, when did you spread this Shamanism? When did I settle down here. I guess I wasn''t prepared for anything? It was known long ago that the samaja possessed a blue dragon. I already knew that due to the nature of the samaja, I would use the blue dragon as a throwaway card when it was in danger. So, it wasn''t that difficult to make a plate. "In order for Shamanism to be activated it takes time to concentrate. There would be no such thing " That''s of course, because I didn''t do it myself. It''s not unreasonable that you didn''t notice. Even if they didn''t use their hands, there were plenty of things they could do for them. Master! Did we do well? I worked really hard not to be found out. You know what? Hehe. I did what I was told, without any mistakes! Everyone, be quiet. My head hurts. east west south north. The spirit beasts waiting on all sides of the barrier waved their hands. In particular, Undine was rolling her feet in thought of receiving praise. "Obviously you''ve used your head quite a bit. However, that doesn''t change the fact that your strength is exhausted. Even if we fight again from now on, my side will have a much better advantage." No, we don''t need to fight anymore. It''s already over without me having to use my hands. Sacred beast''s trap is not limited to simply tying the target. Removing all harmful Shamanism and skill from Sacred beast and regaining lost reason was also the ability of ''Sacred beast''s Trap''. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The blue dragon''s eyes, which were dyed red, gleamed with vitality. My body, which had been running wildly, quickly calmed down. "Human bastard." The first emotion he expressed was anger. It was impossible for the blue dragon to have a crush on Samaza, who forcibly obeyed the Sacred beast, who roamed the mountains and pursued harmony between life and nature. great. This should be enough. Jinhyuk dismantled ''Sacred beast''s Trap'' in a timely manner. Kukuku! Then the blue dragon''s head turned to the samaja. Hey, this can''t be happening. The main seat... Golden magic... Why? Ugh! Where does Geum Soo dare point his teeth at his master? I mean to kill him. This useless thing! You''re still building up your business with that dirty mouth, darling. At least at the last moment, I thought you''d show any regret or guilt... There''s no way the main seat would die in a place like this. It''s impossible to die in vain like this! The samaja swung the sword, but it was blocked by the scales of the blue dragon and bounced off. He had used up all his strength to raise the sword, so there was no room left to escape. "Be dust and disappear." The wind energy gathered in the blue dragon''s mouth. Ahhhhhhhh! That''s it. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwak! A blade made of wind cut through the whole body of the samaja. Perhaps there was no time to feel the pain. Because it was so fast and overwhelming force that it was crushed. Due to the death of Simaja, the pillar that supported the Heavenly Demon religion disappeared. The main force that went to Luoyang was also completely destroyed by the alliance of the Imperial Army and the Murim League led by Abraham. Only the masters of Heavenly Demon Protestantism, including Chae Hong-ah, managed to escape from the castle with only their own lives. and currently. In a remote mountain a little far from Luoyang. Thank you, human. It was you who saved me from being in the dark. Blue Dragon expressed his gratitude. It is the duty and belief of the Sacred beast to repay the favor. [Sacred beast ''Blue Dragon'' wants to liquidate Eunwon.] [Please state the desired reward.] Finally, this time has come. The reason why Samajara gave the blue dragon a chance to avenge his vengeance even by missing a large chunk of experience. ''The contribution was recognized, but it''s nothing compared to missing the last hit.'' of course. They should be compensated appropriately. No, you have to get unreasonable compensation. A very unreasonable and absurd reward for the other side to feel. What I want . Jinhyuk slowly opened his mouth. CH 322 . The new slave is always Shadow Dragon Heart. I wish I could hand it over. Dragon... a heart? What is that? Blue Dragon tilted his head. Oh. right. This guy was a Dragon from the East. I only had contact with Western guys, so I forgot about it. It means that in Moorim, you have to replace it with an appropriate word. Um. The place where the qi is concentrated in the dragon''s body. Simply put, it can be called the heart. Are you telling me to give up my heart? I mean that. At Jinhyuk''s words, the air froze coldly. Giving up your heart means asking for your life. You''d better choose carefully what I''m going to say. Human. It''s true that I got help from you, but that doesn''t mean I''m willing to give up my life. Hey, I heard that Dragon is sure to end Eun-Won''s relationship, am I mistaken? Please don''t ask me forcibly. My patience is not deep enough to accept puns. The blue dragon''s nails twitched. It looks like the heat is slowly fading away. Otherwise, it''s okay to use something else. Normally, I''m at a loss for a long time, but I''m not going to say it''s just a light tattoo. Whoops! A spark flickered at the tip of Jinhyuk''s finger. The ability to force submission. It is the ''stigma of the soul''. Are you going to impose a ban on my soul? A quick glance. Maybe it''s because it''s a Sacred beast, so you can tell what kind it is just by looking at the mana. Isn''t that better than giving out my heart? I refuse. I have no intention of becoming a human being. There is no reason to do so. Reject... . I was trying to go well. I can''t do it when it comes out huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Jinhyuk pulled out something black from the subspace. Hey. Are you going to take out your weapon and fight me? That''s fun... huh? Blue Dragon''s words could not be finished. mosquito! Because the world''s most terrifying voice resounded. The sweet potato was held in Jinhyuk''s arms and flapped his wings. Yes. Our Kuma. Did you sleep well? Mosquito! Mosquito Mosquito! Huh? How have I been? No. I haven''t been doing well. Someone crushed my earnest request. You even saved my life, but you''re trying to kill me? Can you believe it? Mooooogi... The sweet potato roared low. The cute amber eyes rolled over to find the one who had hurt the owner''s heart. Then suddenly. His gaze turned to the blue dragon. The two Dragons faced each other head-on. Ugh!? From the blue dragon''s mouth came the sound of breathing in the wind. Unknowingly, he flinched and tried to soar into the air. Instinct moved before reason because he knew that he could really die if he attacked the ancient species. If you run away from here, you''ll really regret it. I hate wasting time and effort on useless things. No, I didn''t mean to run away. then? That spark. Come to think of it, I don''t think it''s that bad. I think it''s going to create a pretty nice scar. If possible, I''d like to put it on thick scales on the shoulder. Blue Dragon''s attitude changed 180 degrees. I''m sorry, but the train has already left. If I had accepted the stigma of the Kofun and Kofun at first, I was going to end it with only the stigma of the soul. Heartily. However. You made me even take out sweet potatoes, so I should be punished accordingly. Sue, didn''t you say that you would obey your orders? By the way. Is that not enough? The stigma is something you have to do in the sense that you are purely repaying the favor. If you are punished, you have to do it additionally. "What do you want?" My Lady. I saw Samaza taking ''White Flame''s Female Euiju''. The pride of the dragon clan and whatnot, and taking it with you. That''s not possible. You can''t pass over... the gods of the clan''s pride...! Can I tell you that life is more important than pride? Kumaya. It seems that the new employee doesn''t understand the company atmosphere yet. Please bend your waist in half. mosquito! The sweet potato broke the knuckle. ...Now that I think about it, I don''t think I have enough hands to carry 4 female vases. Hmmm! Take it... Whoa... Take it. Take it all. The blue dragon shed tears of blood and handed the white female maiden wine. [Yeouiju of White Flame] Acquisition Difficulty: SS Description: Yeouiju is one of the highest grades of Yeouiju that can handle rain and clouds. It has the power to create small dragons. In addition, the Yeouiju of White Flame is a multi-purpose item that can be used in various places because it is a crystal of powerful mana itself. A god of the dragon family with powerful mana. The ability to handle the weather and the ability to make small dragons were not bad, but when I used this Yeouiju, it was different. ''When you upgrade a new weapon later, use it as a material... Best.'' In addition to the great sword Balmung, you must have a dagger specialized in close combat. And the Yeouiju of White Flame will do a great job in making another purple-grade relic. great. Then... . Don''t be harsh. It''s not as painful as it looks. Jinhyuk put a ''stigma of the soul'' on the scales of the blue dragon. Chi profit! The blue dragon, who had given up on everything, accepted his fate. However. The blue dragon''s torment is not over yet. It''s only just begun. Um. Then, what should we name our Blue Dragon? Is that your name? Yeah. The Sacred beasts who joined the Goin Corporation have a name that is easy to call and each has a cool name. Oh! Don''t worry too much. I''m pretty good at naming names anyway. I''m going to give it a very good name like sweet potato or T-bone. Jinhyuk, who had been thinking for a while, smiled as if he remembered something. Soft black crane. A person who always makes the wrong choice and tries to get on the last train after the trend has passed. That''s a soft black crane. Black-crowned crane! What nonsense is that! This body is colored blue! So it is. Does not matter. Ask Orun to make a piece of black armor and put it on. Because it is mainly specialized in ranged attacks, its scales are relatively soft compared to Western Dragons. There will be a lot of close combat in the future, so you should have at least one piece of armor as strong as soup. Then, please take good care of me in the future. Soft black crane. " " The blue dragon, no, the soft black crane, bit the crab foam on the spot. A life that noblely defended Moorim and nature, balancing the world. That proud life came to an end as of today. ''mother .'' Blue Dragon murmured one last time before fainting. A library with many books. Jinhyuk visited Rick''s private office and sip freshly brewed coffee. A sweet scent lingered on the tip of his nose. It''s really nice to see you after a long time. Even if it''s not, the past few days have been noisy with stories about Jinhyuk. Rick burst out laughing. He seemed to be very excited about the growth and performance of the player he was looking forward to. "I was a little busy." So what do you mean by coming here? It seems that a strange bond was formed when Moorim and the Empire fought against the Heavenly Demon Protestantism. It was only on the side of Moorim that they received the Empire''s help in a desperate crisis situation, so it must have been more grateful. The two factions, who had been fighting each other exposing their fangs, made peace. promising new prosperity in their respective territories. I''ve heard of it, too. They say they''re co-hosting one big event. Yeah. That''s why... Jinhyuk brought up the main point. "I would like to ask the administrator for permission to broadcast the event as an administrator. People outside the tower participate directly and bet on the winner. We can share a portion of the fee, so it is mutually beneficial. This was a good thing. There won''t be any harm. A world trembling with anxiety due to Shubniguras. This is the way to reassure people and at the same time elicit a response through participation. In the beginning, in times of war or crisis, entertainment that could relieve everyone''s tension was important. ''I can''t waste even one minute and one second. You have to secure everything you can get as much as possible.'' The work at Moorim was completed quickly thanks to Samaza moving first. It means that two days more than the prediction was made until Shubniguras fully manifested. Through Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, I will need at least one more day for the preparations to end anyway. Jinhyuk was thinking of making use of this opportunity. Hmm. It''s not a bad idea. But, Jinhyuk-nim, do you know what kind of competition this is? Yeah? Wasn''t it like a one-on-one prom? Jinhyuk opened his rabbit eyes. You didn''t know either. So, you can be so calm. What do you mean by that... Jinhyuk blurs the end of his words as if he doesn''t know at all. Obviously, I heard through Penheimer that it was a competition with only one winner. I haven''t heard of exactly what kind it is. Giving reasons why it doesn''t even matter if it''s a top secret or something. By the way. ''What is this feeling... .'' creepy A chill ran down Jinhyuk''s back. Obviously, the sly smile on Rick''s lips felt the same as the smile I saw on Pennheimer last night. maybe it will rain You are lucky, Jinhyuk-sama... No, maybe you are not lucky. Rick made a meaningful comment. Anyway, then, accept my offer, do you mean Primary God? Okay. It''s an opportunity for me to have fun and earn coins too, so there''s no reason not to. Jinhyuk-nim is a person who has a huge influence on the tower, so I can grant that amount at my discretion. Rick nodded, still smiling mischievously. Evening where the banquet is held. Jinhyuk, who was spending his time leisurely, finished the task he had not been able to do before. [Current Level: 126] Level went up by one. I thought it would be difficult to get enough experience to level up because I couldn''t give the final blow to Samaza... . This pleasant variable is always Shadow. [mana rises from 369 to 372.] Invested in mana. ''This is pretty sweet too.'' Jinhyuk had a satisfied smile. However. T-tiring! Everything started to flow strangely due to the status window that appeared in front of me. [[Due to the authority of the two factions, ''Choose a partner''] The battle begins.] Yes? what now? Jinhyuk slowly pondered the letters that appeared on the status window. [Difficulty: Unmeasurable] Description: An ''eternal rose'' appears on the chest of player Jinhyuk Kang. The person who gets that rose is the winner of this event. Reward 1: The winner will be given a ''Ring of Enchantment (1 pair)''. The Ring of Enchanting has the effect of raising the target''s favorability, and it is fully supported by the Empire and the Murim. Reward 2: Couple items will be given to enter the tower''s various attractions. (Cloud Garden Admission Ticket, Sea Lake Hotel Accommodation Ticket, and Meal Ticket at the finest restaurant run by the manager ''Metel'') The status window seems to be red somehow. ''I must have been wrong. Or maybe you''re dreaming... .'' no. Obviously not. Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva. [The broadcasting system is activated.] [Viewers enter.] [Those who are currently in the Tower of Trials who wish to participate, please start registration.] The event has started. At the same time. T-tiring! T-tiring! T-tiring! Applications for participation have been pouring in. CH 323 . Matchmaking Battle (1) just before the event is held. At Myohwaru, the largest tower in Luoyang, the imperial dignitaries and the elders of the Murimmeng gathered together. Among them, the two men standing in front of the lake were particularly eye-catching. They are ''Penheimer'', who has been representing the Empire, and ''Mathebong'', the leader of Moorim who has represented Moorim. I never thought we would... stand side by side and have a drink. Chuckle. You really don''t know what it''s like to be a human being. Thank you so much. Thanks to you guys, I was able to avoid the worst. Matthew Bong expressed his sincere gratitude. Since you saved Moorim from Heavenly Demon Protestantism, of course, emotions are bound to rise. What would I have done? It was all thanks to Sir Abraham that I won the real battle. Penheimer''s eyes turned to Abraham, who was standing next to him. Abraham, who was obscured by the shadows, nodded briefly. Oh! It seems that you are a master against the white gangsi. I''ve heard of the brilliant performance. A baeknyeong who slaughtered top-notch masters like tearing a piece of paper. It was Abraham who stopped the monster. Although it was obscured by his dazzling appearance, Matthew saw through the realm of Abraham at once. never that it''s not under you. He wasn''t a good guy. More than anything I didn''t know he was going to get out of that situation. Abraham bit his molars, recalling the memories of those days. You can break through the siege of the knights alone. Even in a perfectly cornered situation, Baekryeong found a way out and ran away. The unfinished thing kept sticking to the back of my mind. Don''t worry too much. It will be difficult for the remnants of Heavenly Demon Protestantism to gather again as long as they lose the samaja. Besides, today isn''t a place to worry, but a place to celebrate? Enjoy this moment while eating and drinking to your heart''s content. That''s right. Besides, it looks like the event will start soon. Pennheimer pointed to the ornate hourglass. gracious. Sara... . The sand fell at a high speed. It''s like saying the time is almost up. At the same time. A strange air flow began to flow between the two. By the way, do you really intend to engage in this scramble for the Empire? Of course. Because we are the one with the beauty and dignity that suits player Jinhyuk Kang. Chuckle! When it comes to beauty and elegance, we don''t fall for it either. But, this time, our youngest daughter is going to get married because she is old. I like Confucius Kang very much, so it wouldn''t get any better than this. Yeah, I think it would be better for your daughter to find someone else. As long as we have the second princess, the match will be all but mana. What? My daughter is lacking right now. What do you mean? Hahaha. Did that sound like that? I''m sorry. It seems like my true intentions have just flowed out. The warm air suddenly changes. There are no more people who talked about the future while turning public affairs. only one. If there''s something you can never give up on... . That is, to establish a connection with Jinhyuk. Both sides were really risking their lives to make this happen. right then T-tiring! [[Due to the authority of the two factions, ''Choose a partner''] The battle begins.] All the sand in the hourglass has run out. The status window started blinking one after another. [The broadcasting system is activated.] [Viewers enter.] [Those who are currently in the Tower of Trials who wish to participate, please start registration.] The war has begun. wow wow. Elise stuffed her mouthful of sheep skin and pork belly. His cheeks bulged like a hamster, and he squished. "There is still a lot of food, so eat slowly isn''t it enough?" Theresa murmured worriedly. Watching Elise emptying the 7th plate already made me feel awe beyond wonder. You''re amazing in so many ways. You don''t even have a subspace inventory on your stomach. How can you really fit so much food into such a small body? Andria, who came to see Moorim, also opened her rabbit eyes. It would be better to eat softly. Then, if you eat quickly, you may feel pain or discomfort mainly in the upper abdomen. Various pathophysiology and underlying diseases may appear in relation to the stomach or duodenum. Lastly, Yoosung Cheon added a word indifferently. Either way, Elise pricked up her ears to explore new prey. I. I''ll bring that. Seeing the Peking Duck being roasted in the hearth, Elise stood up first. How far did you go in total gait? Finally, a plate full of roasted Peking duck. Hehe. After all, chickens start with legs. Elise put the largest leg in her mouth and fully enjoyed its moistness and deep flavor. right then T-tiring! A status window appeared in front of those in the banquet hall. "Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Alice''s eyes fluttered. accommodation voucher. garden restaurant. mate, mate, mate, mate. Bae-pil. Nothing else had already caught my eye. dare! The ''Eternal Rose'' belongs to Jim! Elise tossed a Peking Duck and participated in the scramble. [The participation of ''Ellis von Ataraxia'' has been confirmed.] [All abilities are sealed.] [You can invest coins or other items to regain some of your abilities or limit the movement of the target.] Some conditions were created to add to the excitement of the scramble. In order to win this event, the key is how many coins or goods are invested to occupy an advantageous position. In addition, the fact that the participation of viewers through the ''broadcast system'' was possible due to the contract with Rick, the middle manager, was also one of the observation points of this event. Huh? Alice rolled her eyes. Viewers suddenly started coming in from the activated status window. -Zero Cider: 5555 We''re finally here. -Dark Chocolate Flavor Cookie: Makes your heart magnified. It''s a silver-haired older sister''s personal broadcasting channel. -Ripple 4600 Floor Buyer: This coin will survive. Trust me. What are these vile things? Jim has to make the most important decisions in the world right now. Don''t interfere. Elise frowned. - Noh Jin-hwa: Noona. We came here to support my sister. -Liope: From my point of view, Teresa Andriana and some of the winners are strong. Still, we have the highest chance of winning. As a result, the dividend is also the lowest. ?? -soe: Dividend and Nabal. I can''t see Jinhyuk dating another candidate until dirt gets in my eyes. brother is a celestial body -Nangrang: I can''t stand that lol. Through some videos that Jinhyuk has already uploaded, Elise''s popularity has skyrocketed. On the other hand, although he belonged to the Goin Corporation, the information is relatively unresolved, unlike Teresa and Cheon Yuseong. Therefore, the audience was really enthusiastic about this opportunity. Oh, so. If you buy the items over there, does that mean that Jim''s chance of getting a rose increases? -Min: ??. But we looked at the prices of the items in advance, but they are expensive. I think you have to decide carefully. -Hobin: There are only about 100 kinds, but the price per one is staggering. -Oh come on: More than enough to make one large guild. Even with an S-class raid, it can be maintained. - Dogmong: Don''t worry too much. We will choose the most cost-effective and efficient one together. -Asyam: Buy items that Jinhyuk tracks. That looked the best. Binding and slowing spells are also useful. -vie: Only trust us! It''s expensive... If you put on the scales going to play with Jin-hyuk and selling goods that have been stored for thousands of years... . It''s not even worth worrying about. A red subspace was opened behind Elise. while the atmosphere is getting hotter. Jinhyuk, who sat on the gloomy pavilion, let out a small sigh. ''Did I get caught as a prize for the ball?'' In the shaman, So Chung-ah, So-myung''s younger sister, appeared. At the volcano, Seolin Baek participated in the war. Even the youngest daughter of the Moorim Maengjoo participated proudly, so in effect, the entire Moorim went out to get her son-in-law. There . In the Empire, marquis-class and count-class families threw their votes for candy one after another. In addition, the second princess ''Victoria'' officially represented the Reinhardt family, marking the culmination of this struggle. ''From Andrea to Teresa... It''s really, really great.'' The total number is 279. Just looking at it, I could feel the pain in my head. Fortunately, though... . The point is that this event is not a one-sided event. [Timeout: 3h:57m:27s] [Reward: If you protect the ''Eternal Rose'' within the time limit, you can get the item.] The Eternal Rose is a special event item that has an absolute judgment effect. He possessed the ability to instill a crush on a target that was twice as high as himself. It''s too much for those on the 50th floor, but it''s an acceptable level for the lower divinities in the upper floors. ''You must have it. Even in order to take advantage of relations with the Nordics.'' It only takes 4 hours. Can''t you last 4 hours in this vast Luoyang? If there''s only one thing it takes. Jinhyuk glanced down at the clothes he was wearing. A black tuxedo and a red rose on her chest. It''s cool, but it''s a dress that stands out even if it stands out. ''It won''t be easy.'' That was then. Tuk! Jinhyuk''s back was felt. "Mr. Jinhyuk ?" It was Teresa. startled Jinhyuk opened the distance a few steps. To say I got lost, the timing is too complicated. What''s going on here? That''s right... Actually, I don''t want to force myself to do that. But my father asked me to do it. To be honest, I also want to walk in the garden with Jinhyuk... ahhh... Teresa hesitated and muttered her words. The nape of his neck was red from embarrassment at the gibberish. -him: Don''t be embarrassed! Hurry up and take the roses! -Yeah, hey, hey, hey, hey. Our Teresa, do whatever you want! - Soong Soong Soong: Teresa survived for a year. Is it bearing fruit now? -fashionister: must be done quickly. Now, Moorim and the Empire side also robbed the gold box and bought location tracking items. Viewers who bet on Teresa also poured out chatting like crazy. However, Teresa still staggered in place as if not knowing what to do. But at that moment. Oh! Not now... Wait! Teresa exclaimed hurriedly. but it''s already too late, [Theresa''s other personality forcibly triggers ''Corruption''!] Whoops! The divine energy was dyed black. fallen virgin. A new black-flowered Teresa has appeared with a bewitching energy. I can''t see you because I''m bored. My sister will play with me all day, so please pass the rose over. Sreung! Theresa drew her sword. The black ''Blessing of the Stars'' burned fiercely. "Hey wasn''t that person close with Cheon Yoo-seong? It would be difficult if the two of us became the official tower of the ordeal couple?" Jinhyuk secretly tried to buy time. However. I can have both, what''s the problem? There was no time punishment for Teresa. -Sleep: Woo Moon Hyeon-dap! -Instagram: Reverse harem Gazuaaaa!! -Toko Pax: Let''s get rid of it before anyone else comes. I put all my fortune here! -It''s the sunset: Yoosung strongly supports it. Maybe that player and that audience. It was starting to feel like it was going to be a rough day. CH 324 . Matchmaking Battle (2) kukukuku! Teresa pulled up mana. It is an incredible energy. She used to be a powerful Teresa, but now that mana is sealed, her strength is even more pronounced. gulp! Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva. To unlock the mana seal, you need 1 million coins or an equivalent item. ''Looks like I''ve liberated at least the 3rd stage... .'' Among the viewers in Teresa''s room, there must be some gigantic hands. Or, Teresa bought an item that freed mana with her own money. Whatever it is, this is dangerous. It would be better to be quiet. I might rebel and become a bridegroom with no arms or legs. Well, it seems like it would be attractive as it is. Theresa let out a strange laugh. It''s even more creepy to see him say such cruel words without any hesitation. At the same time. kwaang! Teresa kicked the ground and quickly closed the distance. The point where the tip of the sword is pointing is the left chest. This is where the ''Eternal Rose'' is located. Boo Woong! ''This is not just about taking out roses, it''s about cutting off the shoulder blades.'' Jinhyuk instinctively flew to the left. Since his abilities are sealed, he has to deal with it purely with his reflexes. However. Theresa''s left hand moved like lightning. Just before he barely escaped the siege, a white arm grabbed Jinhyuk''s tuxedo. Caught. Caught. The corners of Teresa''s lips went up. ! How could such a terrifying power come out of such a slender arm? I can''t get out of it Not only abilities, but also stats seem to have been nerfed. Fufufu. Don''t be rebellious. To be honest, I''m a decent bridesmaid, right? I like my family and I have a good image among people. It''s beautiful. Besides, every day is going to be fun, right? You say things like that. If the corruption is resolved later, how much do you want to be offended? I would highly recommend protecting the dignity of your original personality. Huh. Well, if it''s that gentleman, I''ll do a bit of a duvet kick, but it doesn''t matter anyway. I''m careful to commit first and regret later. Teresa stretched out her hand. But right then. You. You, you, you. Those hands! Can''t you get rid of those dirty hands right now? The most wrathful Elise I had ever seen appeared. The voice is trembling. The red-tinted pupils and silver-lined silver hair are quite impressive. "That power you. How many stages did you break the seal?" Teresa''s eyes narrowed. There are a total of 10 levels of limiting abilities. Teresa sold the divine ring and unlocked the seal up to level 3. However, the energy I felt from Ellis right now was not just level 3. Alice opened her mouth as if asking something obvious. I said everything. -Reward Master: All? -Park Jong-hoon: Are you saying that you have unlocked the 10th level seal? -ftd: No, if it''s step 10... Wh. Need more than 30 million coins? did you run it all? A huge commotion arose among the spectators watching. I couldn''t help but be confused. Because the prices of the various items sold at this event were outrageous. Everyone just put it up at an outrageous price just for the sake of the topic of the event. I thought no one could actually buy it. -npu3: Did you even copy the coin? Does that make sense? I saw that the Empire and Moorim gave me full support, so I barely made it through level 7? -liron3333: No, wait. I don''t think mana was the only thing that was released? that. look at that Map in hand. do you see that At someone''s words, all eyes turned to Elise''s hand. -Strongest Hitman: Whoa! i know what i am It''s the one with the highest price among the items. It''s 100 million coins. Is there anyone who can buy that? -cjm1: No, I''m going on a date with Jinhyuk... Burn 100 million? is it real? -FP: Looking at the sales records. Did you exchange it for the ancient artifact on the 20th floor? It''s a shield with 300,000 defense. -Sildakgi: The best armor currently registered in the Tower of Trials auction house has 70,000 defense. crazy really crazy -Chris: The top, mid-bottom all become grandiose. The chat window exploded like crazy. ''Did that stupid vampire even buy a relic?'' I could see a faint blue energy rising from the map held in Elise''s hand. A low-grade map can belatedly track the reverberation left by the subject... . The map Ellis purchased was able to track the target''s location in real time. To pour such a ridiculous amount of money into a special item that can only be used in an event. I really don''t know what you''re thinking. ''That guy, do you really like me?'' Jinhyuk tilted his head. ah please It''s probably just because possessiveness and obsession are different. Some of the rewards from the event were not in Alice''s collection. Don''t join the grown-ups in the little boy theme, go away and eat your favorite dumplings. Who, who are you looking at is a kid, you stupid saint! At the word little boy , Elise completely lost her mind. And the result . It led to a catastrophe worthy of being called a disaster. [Ellis activates her unique holy spear, ''Apocalypse of Gaebyeok''!] A red ring on the back. The absolute Noble Phantasm that carries out judgment has been opened. Hey... if you take it out of here...! Jinhyuk shouted, but it was already too late. All the moisture in the air burned, and the clouds lost their shape. A fierce gust of wind erupted from a pair of fully bloomed wings. Even if I put up with everything else... even if I really, really put up with everything... kukukuku! An unimaginable fear swept over me. Because the whole area is dyed red, even viewers can''t see what''s going on right now. "Even if I die, I can''t yield this much!" A voice with a strong will. In response, Zilsera Teresa also raised her own abilities to the maximum. [Theresa triggers ''Blessing of the Stars''!] "It''s the same with me who can''t yield." Whoops! Black starlight enveloped Teresa''s body. this is totally insane Due to the mana emitted by the two crazy monsters, the entire pavilion began to shake violently. But right before Jinhyuk gets involved in the battle. Sook! I felt a soft hand touching my waist. Jinhyuk! Andria, who has nine tails, held Jinhyuk tightly. Andrea? I''ll escape. Hold on tight! Andria, who made a hand print, activated the ability of the Fox Bead. It was a place far away from the pavilion. On the way, I met the young girls of the Empire with the eyes of a beast, and the gyusu of Moorim, who can feel the will to die. -Oh my goodness. The flowers on the chest look very pretty. Shall we go to a dark and deserted place and talk for a while? - Ho ho ho. Can I do anything? I''m just curious about Confucius Kang. That''s why the coin is scary. Even those who were weak were greatly strengthened through items. Luckily, Andria was there, so it was a shame, and I almost got it right. Ha ha ha ha ha. Jinhyuk took a deep breath. It had been a long time since I had run purely using my physical strength. catch! Where the hell are you? Why is the location tracking magic such a slow transaction? aaah! It''s frustrating! Father spends a lot of money at times like this. Only then will other people take it away. The voices of countless women still echoed across the alley. Even if I got caught, I wouldn''t be able to pick out the bones of roses or anything. Thank you. Andria. Thanks to you, I can take a breather. Hehe. I was praised. Andria smiled brightly. Yes. There must be such a pure guy. Seeing the selfless help, I think that I haven''t been completely wrong with my life... . I tried to listen. Well? But why do you seem to be stuck in a dead end? Andria smiled and blocked the only exit. Jinhyuk-nim. Do you remember that time? "Aren''t you Dria?" When you first rescued me from the psychiatric ward. I really thought the Prince of White Horse had come. Until then, it was either sacrificed or thrown away as consumables. I thought that life was one of two things. Yeah. Thank you so much for remembering me as a good memory, can''t you just step aside? That''s why. This time, I''m going to be greedy instead of just giving in to my sisters. [Andria activates Lv11 ''Temptation of the Nine-tailed Fox''!] Nine tails fluttered. It was like seeing Medusa from the front. The sensations all over the body faded. ''mental system attack.'' It''s a big deal. If you get hit by this in a situation where the barrier or other stats are blocked... . Jinhyuk twisted his body. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not resist the skill with his bare body. Hehe. No matter how much Jinhyuk-nim is, wouldn''t it be unreasonable in this constraint? Andria moved forward one step at a time. One of the tails brushed the ball. Andria''s hand turned to the rose. ''Is it over?'' the moment I thought. puck! Oh ? With a dull sound, Andria''s body shook violently. What appeared from behind... . Master. I''m sorry I''m late. Wolyoung and. I don''t know how much more I have to do for you guys. it was heavenly How are you here? Jinhyuk rolled his eyes. Then it seems that Cheon Yu-seong is disgusting. I looked at Jinhyuk. Don''t act like you don''t know. Didn''t you ask your Master to take part in this scramble! How the hell did you threaten me so Master forced me to come here? Tell me why right now! uh huh it''s a threat What are you talking about so ugly? I just installed the camera in your room. Instead of passing it over, I just said that I would use you as a bodyguard. Cheon Yoosung studying medicine. Cheon Yu-seong, who trains swordsmanship. Cheon Yoo-seong is sleeping in a teddy bear pajamas. There is only one story that said that he would pass what he had worked hard to film. Are you talking about that, you motherfucker! Sreung! Cheon Yuseong was about to pull out his sword halfway. But, did you remember the advice you heard from Chuhon Sayoung? I couldn''t pull out the sword until the end. That''s right, good. Good. Even you don''t go against your master''s words. It was effective to send a message to Chuhonsayeong right after the scramble to take place. Now that I have two strong allies, the middle part should be able to survive. At least there was no way these two would try to steal the rose. Master, I think it would be better to move from your seat first. I guess so. If not, there are a few places I have in mind. It''s dangerous to stay in one place, as long as there are people with location tracking items, including Elise and Teresa. You just have to keep moving and pass the time. a little bit. Just hold on a little longer. If one more condition is met, from then on, you will be able to grab the entire board and shake it from here. But that was then. jerk. New footsteps were heard in the alley. CH 325 . Matchmaking Battle (3) Two women appeared along the alley. There was a neat beauty with long blonde hair hanging down to her waist, and next to her was a pretty young and mischievous girl. Nice to meet you. My name is Iris de Reinhardt. The blonde beauty introduced herself first. Reinhardt... . Come to think of it. It was definitely similar to other Reinhardts I met in the Empire. On the prince''s side, there were only very handsome men, but the princesses are also amazing. Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva without realizing it. Call me Mayu. My dad has asked me to come back with Oraboni. Don''t worry, let''s go with me. My dad is very tall and has a lot of money! A young girl with copper-colored skin and short hair smiled brightly. Then this girl must be the youngest daughter of the Moorim Maengju. Looking at the list of participants, I was expecting it, but the top middle-class giants gathered in one place. Master. It''s just that they show their backs... Both of them are not formidable. What are you going to do? I can give you some time if you want. Wol-young and Cheon Yu-seong asked for Jin-hyuk''s opinion. Iris and Mayu also have some basic skills, but with the support of each faction, the seal was also lifted, so the extent to which Cheon Yuseong and Wolyeong can hold on to their ankles is probably the limit. However. No, you don''t have to. Jinhyuk shook his head leisurely. No matter how much Iris and Mayu have strong backs, it is useless. The richest guy in this scramble has already been decided. Even if it wasn''t, it was time to come slowly... . The moment I thought so. kwaaang! with a roar. What else are these guys! I barely managed to get away from that damn stupid saint. Why are there so many competitors! Enraged, Elise pulled out dozens of blood harpoons. [Ellis activates her unique ability ''Blood Lord''!] That person... Oh! What is it? A strong-looking match appears! Iris and Mayu also drew their own weapons. Shortly thereafter, a desperate struggle to obtain the rose of eternity unfolded. A gap created by Alice''s intrusion. Jinhyuk leisurely left the alley. We were so busy fighting each other, we couldn''t afford to worry about anything else. For those who have a location tracking item, Jinhyeok could be caught again at any time, but there was a risk of being eliminated if the same competitor was careless. And while everyone is sure that the premise will never be shaken. Finally, all the plans that Jinhyuk had been preparing were finished. Huh? uh? A group of women from the Empire felt a strange sense of incongruity while walking together. The hard ground seemed to become soft in an instant. Sooo! He swallowed his ankle in an instant and sucked it down. The traps made by the spirit beasts began to be activated in earnest. Ahhhhhhh! What, what? Five people were hit in the muddy mud created by the gnomes. I was sucked into the mud, and my dress and clothes were a mess. On the other hand, the salamander was venting flames vigorously. Whoops! The scorching heat melts the painstakingly applied makeup. Her gorgeous hair was brittle. Aww! Uh, what should I do! My... hair! I did this for three hours. I''m ruined. I''m all ruined! Hell spreads everywhere. However, the long-awaited disaster has not yet begun. Whoops! KwaKwang! Thunder rang out in the distance. Although the entire Moorim was maintaining a sunny day, dark clouds began to form only in Luoyang. [''Thunderstorm'' is being activated due to the effect of Yeouiju.] I am a noble Dragon... the supreme. The sacred... Shall I call it the Sacred beast? Whoops. I''ve heard a lot of people say that I''m the most honorable among the four gods. That''s my body. The blue dragon, no, the soft black crane spit out a self-contained self-talk. mosquito! Ah, I see. It''s raining hard, isn''t it? I''m also good at what I ask. Mosquito mosquito. Under the surveillance of sweet potatoes, the black crane poured heavy rain. -Raffle: Wow. Did the participants look like drowning mice? -Good Yong-yong friend: ??. there is no devil The third daughter of the marquisist that I bet on seems to have no prospect at all. The dress turns black. -jus: Me too. All bets were blown. Ha, I''ve collected 3 months. -Jang Ji-o: In order to aim for a high dividend, was it the high-quality Ellis Coin or Taj? Even though the dividend is low, it is as strong as hot soup. -jxh: oj. To be honest, a room with a bamboo spear made of Elise''s blood would make everyone quiet. The reactions of the viewers were flustered. Maybe it was because I had never imagined that the dropouts would come out so quickly. Even among the VIPs who were watching at the banquet hall, there was a reaction that was amazing. uh . Wow, my daughter-in-law... The nobles of the Empire stared blankly at the screen. "I was raised like Geum Ok-yeop, but does that mean that I fell out like this?" Heh heh, my child has never even met Confucius Kang. On the Moorim side, the head of the clan and the elders also had a bitter taste. Fuhahaha! This is a spectacle. To be honest, I thought I would be very upset, but after all, things are things. Only then will they all be eliminated. Moorim Maengju, Matthew Bong exploded in madness. His daughter was also involved, but Matthew Bong seemed more happy to see it go like this. Lastly, Heavenly Demon, who was watching Jinhyuk from the distance, quietly opened his mouth. Dark sulfur. Yes, Zion. That guy... Be good to him. Don''t touch him even if he whines a little or behaves arbitrarily. It should be. Amyo. To be honest, I think it would be more troublesome than Samaza or Simma Spirit if it was made into an enemy. He''s even more terrifying than the blood horses we fought 10 years ago. I feel like I know instinctively how to make people suffer the most. ...and I see it that way. The two looked at the screen without saying a word. How long has it been since the scramble started? Those who were struggling to get the eternal rose disappeared one by one. And finally. Of the 279, only eight remain. On the Empire side, Princess Iris and Count Melmorn''s second daughter survived. On the Moorim side, the names of Mayu, the youngest daughter of the Moorim Maengju, Baek Sullin of Hwasan, and So Chung-ah, So-myung''s younger sister, were displayed in blue. Finally, on the side of the player and the residents of the other floor, of course, Elise, Teresa, and Andria remained. It''s awful. You won''t give up even if you do this. How much more torture do you have to give up? Hmm. This time, I should try to feed the stinky tofu with mapo tofu. Jinhyuk is in serious trouble. Most of them were caught in bad traps and cried and raised the white flag. The remaining people were burning with the will to keep going even if the sky splits in two. At this point, can''t we just pretend we can''t win and hand over the roses? It''s probably because everyone is interested in you anyway. I think it''s necessary to choose at least one person. Cheon Yu-seong, who was silently watching, said a word. Of course, Jinhyuk did not pass those words over to his ears. Not for me. It must be for the benefit of this rose''s abilities and the power to which she belongs. Besides, this is a kind of event quest. You have to take it in a guiding way, what if you take it seriously? ...it''s okay. I shouldn''t say anything. It''s not that I''m ignorant, it''s that I''m completely emotional. Uhm. I don''t know about anyone else, but hearing things like that from you makes me feel really bad, don''t you? Jinhyuk and Cheon Yooseong were fighting each other. Master. I''m glad that there are only eight people left. There is only one minute left, so it''s actually the end of the master''s victory, isn''t it? That''s right. We probably won''t be able to come all the way here to keep each other in check. Jinhyuk nodded his head. But. There was one thing everyone was overlooking. The fact that among the items exhibited at this event, there are relics that can turn things around in just one minute. [[''Absolute judgment'' for this area] A relic with an effect has been used!] sudden change of view. kukuku kuk kuk! A powerful mana swept around the three-man area. This !? Lord! Cheon Yoo-sung and Wol-yeong immediately tried to leave their seats. However, the red pillars that engulfed the whole area did not allow the people inside to go out. "Whoops! Did you think you won?" Hehe! There''s still one minute left! It was then that a sinister laughter was heard. There was seen Teresa with long blonde hair and Andria who showed off her hand prints to the climax. Furthermore. jerk. left and right. And I saw familiar faces from behind. Isn''t it too funny to see Jim with two escorts? Even the Empire does not back down easily. "Now give up graciously." At this rate, the eight people who realized that no one could win, joined forces. First, after tightly surrounding Jinhyuk so that he could not escape. After that, let''s leave it up to each of us to decide who gets the Eternal Rose. The plan worked correctly. By activating the strongest ability through the collected coins. [8 participants request an absolute judgment ''zone of bondage''] An unusual mana shook. Absolutely... Judgment. Damn it. Isn''t that dangerous? Cheon Yoosung instinctively flinched. It''s okay. Absolute judgment items that can be used in this event have very strict activation conditions. They just blew coins and relics. Really? Did you just live by being deceived? Is that a condition they can never solve? Jinhyuk smiled brightly. And to prove it. T-tiring! A blue status window appeared. [In order to activate the event condition, a high level of understanding of the target is required.] [Target ''Jin-Hyeok Kang'', describe what he likes the most in the Tower of Trials, how to cook it, and how many times he ate it in the last 3 months.] [The more detailed the description, the more effective the ability will be.] Look. How do you get this right? No matter how crazy you are... However, Jinhyuk could not finish his speech. Nana Nana! Because Elise waved her hand like a child who knew the answer. Yes? no way ? "I like to eat Rainbow Shrimp caught using Tengkong larvae over low heat for 1 hour 15 minutes 13 seconds, and then sprinkle 13.5g of Ashumtra salt from the 5th floor in 7 portions. I ate 26 times in 3 months. The last one I ate was exactly 62 hours 15 minutes 33 seconds ago. Words pouring out like rapid fire. Alice proudly opened her chest. Obviously, didn''t you say you''d never get it right? No, humanly it''s strange to know that? I''m not a stalker, I know that. The words of regret welled up in the throat. However, what matters now is not how you memorized all of that. What Ellis said is true. [The realm of bondage (highest grade) is activated!] KwaKwaKwakwok! ! The bondage made my whole body immobile. Only 10 seconds left. kwaang! widely! Eight people flew at the same time. I ! Don''t be funny! aaah! They bit each other, biting each other, and reaching out in different directions. And the winner is . I got it...! Alice''s fingertips touched the eternal rose on Jinhyuk''s right chest. And he grabbed the rose tightly with his hands. [The event has ended.] [Timeout: 0h:0m:0s] Okay! I won! I won! Elise burst into cheers. At the same time. [There is no winner on the challenger side.] [[The winner is the tag ''Kang Jin-hyuk''] I''m a player!] uh? The smile disappeared from Alice''s face. CH 326 . Gate open Before 11 hours (1) The question why? was bound to arise. With one second remaining in the time limit, Elise must have obtained the rose of eternity. What? Why...? Elise stuttered and looked at the rose of eternity in her hand. The golden rose had not lost its light yet. The flower on the right chest is fake. Fake...? Yeah. Fake. And this is real. A new rose appeared on Jinhyuk''s left chest. [[3-star ''Visibility Distortion''] The barrier is released.] Hide the real eternal rose hanging on the left side using the barrier. A fake made of glacier modeling is hung on the right. He was so preoccupied with getting everyone to get a rose, he didn''t even care where the rose was in the first place. In the end, it was a defeat to have been vaguely certain of victory. Thanks to the use of items ripped from the black crane as a sacrifice, the near-perfect glacier modeling also played a clever role in directing the fake. I... I thought I was winning. I beat them all and got the roses... black... I thought... I was planning to go to the lake and the restaurant... with the lake... Alice cried. Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes. Well. Because I am truly sad like this, I am trying to feel 0.1mg of remorse for some reason. It felt like a very faint needle scratching an area where there might be a conscience. Don''t be so sad. Even if it''s not an event, I''ll go to a place you want to play with later. It''s not that I hate being together. I just don''t have the time or space to do that right now. really? Alice opened her rabbit eyes. Okay, so stop crying. What is this in front of everyone named Jinjo? " Yes. I see. Then give me blood instead after a long time!" Blood, blood? I''ve been moving a lot these days, so I''m so excited. Originally, I was able to see through the barrier, but I didn''t notice it because I didn''t have enough mana. ...Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu As Jinhyuk sighed, Elise became as calm as ever. There were various events, but all the work at Moorim was completed. now . Jinhyuk''s eyes turned to a distant place. Okay, now it''s time to start the great war outside the tower. Korea Awakened Association. Jinhyuk came to this place to talk about the worst out break that is coming soon. Thank you for coming. Jinhyuk Kang player. Han Sang-jin, the president of the association, met Jin-hyuk with a heavy face. Oh . Then, he suddenly blushed at the fact that he had received a guest and had not served anything. I''m sorry. I''m out of business. Coffee, green tea I have other drinks. What would you like to have? It''s okay to drink. You said you have information about the gate... I''d like to hear that story first. Jinhyuk sat down on the sofa. Han Sang-jin also laid down on the opposite sofa with a firmer expression on her face. "First and foremost, I think we can predict when an outbreak is going to happen." ...! Does that mean you''ve finished analyzing the mana? Yes. Our expert team estimates that the break will occur in about 11 hours. Recently, the analysis of gate mana through Advanced Magical Stones and Measured Awakeners has advanced dramatically. There is a margin of error, but it would be right to set 11 hours as the limit line. ''It''s pretty close to what I expected.'' Once again, I think, ''The association has also improved a lot''. If you look at how technologically advanced it is. Not much left. Naturally, there is no point in evacuating people now. Wherever you go, everything will become nothing. Han Sang-jin knew that too, so he called Jin-hyeok here. But, there is still a way. Han Sang-jin brought up the main point. How much do you know about the mana tolerance of the gate, Jinhyuk Kang? Are you saying that if each creature crosses the gate and moves to another place, it needs an equivalent mana? That''s right. A class A monster needs an A class gate, and an S class monster needs a gate with at least an S class tolerance. However, the gate where the break is going to happen now requires a gate. The capacity is not large enough to withstand the monsters trying to pass through it. Jinhyuk realized the meaning of Han Sangjin''s words at once. It means that the power source that assists the gate''s mana is somewhere else. We''re guessing so. exactly That makes sense. For a guy about the size of Shub Nigurus to manifest as a body requires a mana that transcends common sense. Of course, the gate itself would not be easy to handle. In particular, now that the world is preparing for a simultaneous manifestation, the demand for it is bound to increase even more. ''There are countermeasures that I have in mind, but they have a lower chance of success.'' Rather, the one who can block the manifestation of Shubniguras would be more likely. Where is that location? A few hours ago. It was confirmed that a small island was newly created on the sea 3km away from Dokdo with a magnitude 2 earthquake. not far away. If you go through space movement magic, you can reach it right now. "The raids of large guilds, including the father who will fight against Dangun, are scheduled to be deployed, so we ask that player Jinhyuk Kang lead them there. We promise to reward you at the enemy level. in the remaining 11 hours. Find and destroy the source of mana. All right. Jinhyuk accepted the association''s proposal. Tack Tack! The sound of a bonfire burning resounded. Hasting, who was in the attic, silently stared at the huge screen. On the screen, a recorded video of an event in Luoyang a few hours ago was being broadcast repeatedly. " " Hasting, who had been watching the video for a while, smashed the wine glass he was holding. kwaduduk! Broken glass shattered and fell to the floor. right then Murim''s side also failed in the end. Samaja. I thought he was still a useful guy. I didn''t expect the blue dragon to be wasted so in vain. The woman opposite Hasting opened her mouth. Fluffy purple hair. The mysterious energy emanating from his alluring eyes was impressive. He is the head of a great vampire family, and ''Hisinth de Shefiltino'' who leads the Shefiltino family. At the most, he taught me how to rule the four gods, but that''s why I think that the player Jinhyuk Kang is not a human but a divinity. No, he might be even greater than the managers. ...you''re being sarcastic in moderation. I don''t feel comfortable enough to laugh at you. My lord, I''m sorry for this. I spoke in front of a great senior manager. Seeing Hasting''s brow wrinkled badly, Hisinth raised both hands slightly upward. We have already lost two heads of state. The rest of the heads of state also felt a sense of crisis, so no one was present except for the head of Hysynth. If this continues, our alliance itself may be in danger. Axencion, who was with him, also helped out with a word. As the new head of Ataraxia, we''ve been watching Elise, the former head of the family, grow bigger and bigger. It was like sitting on a cushion of thorns. I understand that the owners are anxious. However, please be patient and wait a little longer. Even if not, we have hired talented people. Are you saying that there are still shogi horses more capable than sama-ja? Yes. Oh! You just arrived just now. Hasting looked over the door. Then that moment. kkiiik . The wooden door opened. Two people showed up. It was Melena, a woman who was caught in the Mine Association, and an old man looking at seventy. Well, I''ve arrived. Melena looked around anxiously. The body was already subordinated to the devil named Jinhyuk, but the people in front of him were not metaphorical expressions, but the absolutes who really controlled the tower. It is inevitable that the hair will stand upright and your throat will burn. Aren''t they human? Are they supposed to be the talented people Hasting-sama said? Hisinth frowned. The card I was hoping for was only a player. Aren''t they both garbage that only feels like a handful of mana? With only this level of members, let alone a samaja, he would not be able to reach the toes of lower-class blood relatives. Huh, huh. Do you see that? Well, let''s test your skills yourself, the head of High Synth. Isn''t that the truth? Try using your strength against humans who are likely to die with a light gesture? You wouldn''t be able to withstand even a single blow. Hmm. Again, it seems you''re not sure. As you said, if you can defeat the author at once, I''ll give you anything you want from this Hasting''s personal warehouse. If it''s a senior manager''s personal warehouse... There are more great treasures than any other upper-level bosses. Okay. Those words. Be sure to take responsibility. Hisinth pulled out a rapier that was stained with blood. Pants side! Mana is agglomerated, and the blitz skill unique to the Shefiltino family flickered. By the way. Huh? An earthquake occurred in the pupil of Hisinth, who was about to activate the skill. [[Lv??] The activation of ''Electron Thunder Spear'' is cancelled.] Tsu side! NS . Chick! The dazzling lightning was gradually fading away. mana is not lacking. There wasn''t anything else wrong with it. As if blocked by something. His ability was sealed. "You just ?" It''s unbelievable. Does this ability exist? So, didn''t I tell you? I''m sure it will work for that damn human as well. The corners of Hasting''s lips went up. Nice to meet you. Great Absolutes of the Tower. The beginning and end of the Round Table that leads the Magic Association. It''s called ''Nietzsche''. The old man bowed his back deeply for the first time. Codename Arthur. However, he is the only executive who symbolizes the Round Table to call him by his first name rather than his code name. ''Nihilism''. A person who uses the power of nothingness. Any unique abilities and skills around him will lose their light. in short. It means that he has the ability to block all variables at the source. "Humans must be heading to the island to bite the bait I prepared by now. The two heads of state can escort this person. Whether it''s Kang Jin-hyeok or Elise, if their abilities are sealed and they use only the power of their pure body, the chicken head bit Couldn''t it be easier to kill than that? "It''s possible it should be." ...that''s a bit tempting. The faces of Hysynth and Axencion were also filled with sultry flesh. CH 327 . Gate open Before 11 hours (2) The 11th basement floor of the Korean Awakened Association. The rankers of each guild that accepted the quest from Sangjin Han gathered in one place. ''It''s been a long time since I''ve seen these members at once.'' Jinhyuk looked around. Most of the hundreds of players are faces you''ve often seen on TV or in the Ordeal Tower community. I saw Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, as well as Min Jung-woo and Lee Yu-ri. In addition, the masters and sub-masters, which can be said to be the sign of the guild, participated in large numbers. Hyung. It''s been a really long time. How have you been, oppa? Did you finish your work at Moorim well? Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa approached with bright smiles. Yes. Thanks. What did I ask for? The Soul Stone of Longing received from Bendivia and the Moonstone obtained through information from Heavenly Demon. One of the conditions that must be dealt with in order to deal with Shub Niguras had been entrusted to the two of them. Yeah. Of course it ended neatly. It was a little hard to do what hyung said, but my sister and I handled it well. Probably, it will work just fine. great. Taemin, who has the ability to be a mechanical lord, said it, so there should be no problem. At least one condition was met with this. That was then. Whoops! Hey. Look at that. Can you see it? "I am a player, Jinhyuk Kang." I really am. I only went to floors that were so difficult, so all I saw in the video was, I''m sure you''ll see it in real life. Everyone''s eyes were focused on Jinhyuk. In fact, if you are the strongest player representing Korea... . The answer was fixed. When Cheon Yu-seong, who was wearing a long sword, joined the group, exclamations broke out again among the people. "There is also a sword " Shhh! Be quiet. There are rumors that if you don''t like it, they will cut it off mercilessly. If you don''t mind, the nickname of the swordsman would have been more widely known than the swordsman? Guild masters are also slowly taking notice. It''s really no joke to feel intimidated. It is not for nothing that it is said that the power of Jinhyuk''s Goin Corporation is greater than the total of the large guilds combined. Just standing together with Jinhyeok and Cheon Yoosung had the feeling of overwhelming the rest. Hey. You say you''re a murderer without blood or tears? Don''t talk about your true intentions. I didn''t say that. Ummm. Is that so? By the way, what should I eat for dinner? I think I''m getting tired of battle food. Do you have any recommended menus? Damn it. Do I even have to tell you what I eat? Pick up an anemone that lives in the deep sea and eat it. It would be perfect if you die from food poisoning. Jinhyeok and Cheon Yoosung quarreled as always. sure, For those who used the bean pods as they were meant to be used, they were being reinterpreted as completely different words. -Everyone seems to see you and call you swordsman. Is it reassuring to be together? - Don''t push yourself. I don''t like such cumbersome titles. - Well, it''s you. This raid is on the sea, are you going to have seafood for dinner? -The taste of monsters living in the deep sea is a delicacy, but it wouldn''t be bad to catch and eat them. If I''m with you, I''ll be able to hunt even the boss level enough. It was a time when everyone looked at each other without speaking a word. Hello. Someone boldly stepped forward. A woman in her late 20s with short short hair. I''m Jinah Yoo, the deputy master of the Fighting Fathers Guild. This is the first time I''ve greeted them directly. 2nd place in Korea. ''Father to fight.'' Eugene is one of the two pillars supporting the huge assembly of about 1,000 people. Unlike Master Jinho Choi, who concentrates only on hunting instead of outside activities. Jinah Yoo was also fluent in administration and politics. In fact, the reason Jinhyeok cleared the 17th and 18th floors while he was in Moorim was thanks to Eugene''s organically linking large guilds to build a combined raid. Nice to meet you. My name is Jinhyuk Kang. It is heavenly. The president of the association asked me to give a general briefing to the two of you. From now on, I will explain how this raid will proceed. T-tiring! A map made of holograms appeared in front of everyone. A total of four raids will be deployed from Korea. The goal is to enter the east, west, north and south of the island and remove the etheric ore in the center. There were less than 10 hours left before the gate was fully opened, so we had to increase the probability of success even by distributing power. The Dangun Guild will take over the east side. And the Balhae and Hwarang Guilds will take over the south side. The west side will be attacked by a combined raid of 7 medium-sized guilds. Jin-ah Yoo continued to explain, pointing to the map one by one. A number of mana responses were marked on the map, of which the point with the largest response was located at the northern end. Considering that the size of the dot is the amount of mana, there must be a monster that is 5 times more powerful than other places. It seems that the most difficult part is the part I have to take charge of. Yes. It will be held as a union between the Goin Corporation and the Fighting Father''s Guild. To be precise, we are supporting player Kang Jin-hyuk. I know what you mean. Jinhyuk nodded his head. Then, I''ll start moving slowly. Because it''s a large-scale magic, it can cause motion sickness, so please be careful about that in advance. When Jina Yu nodded, the other guilds also sent a hand signal that they were ready. Pants! Various runes drawn on the floor shone brightly. soon after My eyesight turned black. The darkened vision returned. Arriving on the island... . Blood, avoid! It was a mistake to think that I did. Someone shouted that my throat would burst. At the same time. Koooooooh! The jaws of a giant ichthyosaur opened under her feet. What, what? Aww! The place where the raid arrived was not on an island, but on the sea. Hundreds of razor-sharp teeth were exposed among the turbulent waves. If this is the case, it will be eaten Everyone, be still! [Yoo Jin-ah activates Lv20 ''Mentra Timing''!] huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The ichthyosaur''s pupils shook with the bright light. But it was only for a short time. wow! The huge mouth closed like a lie. Thanks to this, players can avoid looking at what the ichthyosaur''s camouflage looks like. Oh, thank you. Thanks to you I''m alive. The tankers in heavy armor let out a sigh of relief. If it were not for Eugene, he would have been buried in the sea because he could not bear the weight of the armor. While the raid, which was almost annihilated in an instant, was breathing. ''It''s a timing skill... .'' Jinhyuk looked at Yoo Jinah as if he was interested. Taming is considered one of the rarest among the unique abilities. Seeing that he can tame a high-level monster equal to that of an ichthyosaur in just a few seconds, he must have been quite capable. I''ll have to copy that ability this time as well. I don''t know about sweet potatoes or spirit beasts, but I knew that the recently opened Black Crane was still a noble Dragon Born. More than that, where are you? "Is it possible that the island sank in the meantime?" The players on the back of the ichthyosaur, which was several dozen meters in size, looked around. Visibility was poor due to sea fog. Ah! Over there! I see an island over there! Taemin Lee, who was searching through the drone, pointed in one direction. About a kilometer away, the outline of the original destination island was blurred. The island did not disappear. It''s just that the distance is quite far. Why did you miss your destination so far? Jinah Yu pushed the magic players. The spatial movement coordinates seem to be distorted. Obviously, mana was properly injected and activated... Something seems to have interfered. We don''t even know why. I''m sorry. The players in charge of space movement bowed their heads as if they did not understand English. But right then. kukuku kuk kuk! The waves started pounding violently. The players on the fish dragon''s body staggered greatly. something is coming from the depths of the sea. Kang Jinhyuk! I know. Cheon Yu-seong drew a sword of a plum blossom. Jinhyuk also took out fangs and twin dragon swords one by one from the subspace. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Aww! In an instant, dozens of ichthyosaurs soared to the surface. Even the fish dragon that Yu Jin-ah had tamed did not kneel anywhere in terms of its size... . The ichthyosaurs that appeared now had a larger size than that. ''A total of thirteen.'' An island that appeared due to the influence of Outbreak. It was a known fact that dungeonization was in progress in that area as well. However, from the beginning, named-class monsters must have been swarming. ''You must have played a lot more pranks than you thought.'' The cause is a senior manager behind the scenes. Hasting. Jinhyuk wet his lips with his tongue. Hey, I can''t tamper with all this stuff. Yoo Jin-ah''s expression was stained with despair. The rest of the players also saw the ichthyosaurs approaching, and their faces turned white. Even on ordinary land, balancing on the back of an ichthyosaur while fighting was disadvantageous in itself. Taemin-ah. Yes, bro! [Lee Tae-min activates his unique ability ''Machine Lord''!] Two drones with streamlined bodies appeared. I''ll take care of seven. Can you take care of six? I''m going to cut down twelve, so you only deal with one. Cheon Yu-seong stepped on the drone first and took a big leap. Then, the drone predicted the next landing point of Cheonyuseong and flew there first. After all, one pride is the strongest in the universe. tuk. Tuk... . Cheon Yuseong, who freely traversed the air, swung his sword. Chuhon Sword Dance, First Sword (һ). Scratch! The sword that raised the sword slashed the fish dragon''s scales in an instant. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo The full-scale battle began as the sea turned red. ''Should I relax my body properly?'' [The unique ability ''Sword Graveyard'' is activated!] A black energy fluttered along his fangs. [The unique ability ''Heavenly Demon New God'' is activated!] Red energy burned along the twin dragon swords. Three, my God... Yoo Jin-ah swallowed dry saliva. I''ve already seen a lot of videos about how strong the opponent is. came in However. There was a gap that could never be bridged between what we experienced indirectly and what we saw directly in front of our eyes. strong. overwhelmingly. ''Chun Yoo-seong, who unilaterally takes a picture and presses it, is also amazing.'' It looks like he doesn''t hesitate in the slightest against an ichthyosaur that is over 20m tall. My heart pounded just by looking at the ruthless and straight-forward swordsmanship. But, Compared to Jinhyeok, that level was only a joke. ''That such a beautiful swordsmanship exists.'' Even Yu Jin-ah, who was ignorant of swordsmanship, had no choice but to feel because she was mostly taming. that it''s totally different. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Every time the two swords move The body accelerated through ''The Realm of the Wind'' and ''Sword Magical Cheonryeongbo'' disappeared like smoke. Speeds that don''t even need drones. The appearance of disappearing one after another from the sky gave the illusion that it was unfolding a Blink. chuck. Jin-hyeok, who was riding on the head of another fish dragon, crossed his hands. The swordsman drew a crescent moon. Ke-e-e! The ichthyosaur screamed in pain. A thick cloud of blood spurted out, and everything turned red. However, when drops of blood splashed in all directions. Jinhyuk had already disappeared on the spot. six seven. Ten. The ichthyosaurs died without a proper counterattack. And finally. with a plop! Even the ichthyosaur, which struggled until the end, floated to the surface. After arriving on the island, more annoying bastards will come out. "Yes? Yes? Yes! Yes! That''s right." Yoo Jin-ah, who had been dazed, quickly nodded her head. CH 328 . Gate open Before 11 hours (3) shoot ah... . The island arrived across the waves. A number of monsters had already completely occupied the beach where the blue-colored crystals were embedded. ''After all, the water dragons are in charge.'' Jinhyuk, hiding behind a rock, scanned the monsters on the shore. Appearance with a reptilian head and blue skin. The water dragons are known for their high intelligence and cruelty. ''He even has an Armored Drake.'' Jinhyuk''s gaze turned to the giant monster with the water dragon. Armored Drake is a 5m-sized, medium-sized monster, with low intelligence but high physical and magic defense. Would you say that the water dragons have a symbiotic relationship with each other? ''To be precise, it would be better to be tamed by the water dragons. The combination of the two was quite intimidating in terms of the trait that could share airlifting separately. at that time. ...there is no news from the other side. Jin-ah Yu opened her mouth carefully. east west south north. The original purpose was to try to enter from a total of four places, but all contact was cut off immediately after moving the space. I don''t know if it''s all because of the ichthyosaurs, or the thick cloud fog along the sea. There must have been a serious setback in the plan. All of this must have been Hasting''s design. He intends to manifest Shub Niguras without fail. If the transcendent of the 50th floor were liberated, destroying a world would be a breeze. First of all, we''ll assume that the other raids aren''t alive and move on. The raid itself may fail if you lean on a glimmer of hope and respond complacely. Since this is the case, we have no choice but to attack the shortest distance through the northern route. It''s dangerous to pierce from the front. Even a little bit of noise will cause all the people in the vicinity to run at you. Cheon Yoosung added a word. Many mana felt in the sand. What you see isn''t everything. if so . We''re going to split the team in two here. I mean, I''m going to choose a scapegoat to use as a bait. I have no intention of playing around with your tricks, so I hope you leave it out of the bait role. Cheon Yoo-seong understood Jin-hyuk''s inner intentions at once. Anyway, this guy always blows a candle at an important moment. What would you do if you expressed something that could be packaged well as a bait? Don''t worry. I won''t let you do it. I''ll do this myself. At Jinhyuk''s words, Cheon Yoosung''s eyes widened. To hear those words come out of your mouth, the sun will rise in the west. Well, actually, you can''t entrust it to anyone. If you entrust such a dangerous job to someone with poor skills, that person will lose their life. ...I just can''t get over those words. It sounds like I''m inferior to yours, doesn''t it? Hmm. Then, are you better? Isn''t it obvious? If you don''t believe it, you can prove it here. Sreung! Cheon Yu-seong drew his sword halfway. After receiving the ''Cheonhondan'' from Chuhonsayeong in Moorim, the inner strength has risen dramatically. This time, I will decide who is superior. However. Then, I can''t do it. I have no choice but to leave the shoreline to you. Huh? You''re stronger, better, and the perfect ranker than me. Seeing that you just raised mana... uh huh. I don''t think I''ll even be a match. Jinhyuk shuddered as if he was genuinely frightened. The strongest should do the most dangerous work, right? Yeah, yes, but... Cheon Yoosung blurted out the end of his speech. Obviously, it seems to have worked out the way I wanted it to. I can''t get rid of that dreadful feeling. I feel like I''m cheating on something. Make sure to draw attention from the shoreline. Don''t let a single one follow us. Okay? That... yes. I see. Cheon Yoosung reluctantly nodded his head. [The unique ability ''Song of the Sword'' is activated!] Aww! Cheonyuseong faced dozens or hundreds of water dragons and armored drakes on the shore. It''s an intruder! To come all the way here alone. You have good guts. I''ll chop it up and give it to you as food for the festival. The water dragon pulled out a trident. Puffy! Fu fu fu! Crustacean monsters the size of cars soared out of the sand. An enemy that has multiplied several times in an instant. But. Cheon Yu-seong, who blocks all these things with a single person like the equipment that blocks the Jangpan Bridge, can only be called the strongest shield. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Cheon Yu-seong broke through the enemies with a single paper gap and swung his sword. The sword attack that raged like a storm mercilessly cut the monsters in two. That guy is a monster too. It''s a monster, but... . Again, there is no business in front of quantity. Within five minutes of starting the battle, the encirclement began to grow stronger. It''s okay, it''s okay, right? Yoo Jin-ah looked at Cheon Yoo-seong with a worried face. No matter how important a mission may be, isn''t it too risky? Well. Jinhyuk thought for a moment. About 90% will be fine. Fools don''t die easily. He''s stronger than a steel tendon because his lifeline is tough, so even if he throws him into hell, he''ll survive. "Then what about the remaining 10%?" It won''t be okay. What are you asking for something obvious? There is no such thing as 100% in the world. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. And hurriedly moved towards the passage leading to the inside of the island. What are you doing? The opportunity that the swordsman has made for you. Are you going to miss it like this? Oh, no. I have to go. Jinah Yoo led the Brawl Fathers Guild. Soon afterward, the raiders left the coast and entered the forests inside the island. jerk. How far did you travel? When he had a short time to spare, Jin-hyeok used ''Eyes of Gluttony'' to check Yoo Jin-ah''s status window. T-tiring! Name: Eugene Gender: Female Age: 28 Level: 77 Strength 45 Dexterity 55 Stamina 46 mana 88 Stat Points you have: 0 Occupation: Tamer Unique Ability: Mentra Timing skill: ''Custom Feed'' Lv17, ''Multiple sympathy'' Lv16, ''Amazon''s Reins'' Lv15, ''Javelin'' Lv13, ''Sublime Sacrifice'' Lv11 [Copy Conditions: Jin-ah Yu was very interested in animals from a young age. In fact, before the Tower of Trials appeared, he worked as a breeder, and after the Tower appeared, he changed his job to a tamer who can use taming skills. In order to copy Eugene''s unique abilities and skills, you must show that you are truly approaching monsters and pets. [Current Favorability: 0%] Unique ability ''Mentra Timing''. This ability, which can tame even a vicious beast, can be useful in many ways not only in this raid, but also when climbing the tower in the future. In particular, the existing ''sympathy'' If you create synergy with your abilities, it will even be possible to tame higher-ranking species. Jinhyuk''s eyes flashed. You must have this on hand. In order to do that, it would be better to get Eugene''s points through the summons first. At the same time, I felt that there was a reconnaissance team made up of water dragons and armored drakes not far away. Mr. Eugene. Magical players belonging to the Brawler''s Guild also detected the presence one step late. Are you an enemy? Yeah. The number is five. They''re the same guys we met on the beach. "I have no choice but to overcome." Because of the thickly sprouted plants, it is impossible to avoid sideways. Above all, there was not much time left for the raid to find a new path. It''s a good thing if the number is small. Sreung! Chunkyung! Various weapons were selected. The tanks were forward and the dealers were in the rear. By the way. It was time for the raid to prepare for a surprise attack. Here, can I take over? Jinhyuk stepped forward slowly. Is it player Kang Jin-hyuk himself? Yeah, if it''s a Primary God, we''d appreciate it, but wouldn''t it be better to preserve mana? Everyone''s concerns continued. Because the core of this raid was Jinhyuk. Fighting the boss of this island in the best condition possible is the way for everyone. Don''t worry. Mana consumption won''t be huge. If you fight directly, you won''t be able to avoid mana consumption... That''s right. So I''m going to fight like this. uuung! Salamander. At Jinhyuk''s call, a salamander appeared from beyond the subspace, sticking out his tongue. Huh? It''s a fire spirit water? The appearance of Jung Ryeong-soo, which is rarely seen, showed interest with curious eyes. [Yoo Jin-ah''s favorability has increased to +10.] [The only people who can make a contract with the spirit beasts are human beings with a good heart.] great. As for the summoned beasts, the cutest spirit beasts are the best. Master. We''re here. When Undine came out there, a pair of matching spirits were prepared. By the way. Hey, what are you trying to do this time? It''s too hard for us too. Last time I used too much energy... I almost died. Salamander and Undine wept and hung on Jinhyuk''s pants crotch. In the eyes of others, it is bound to look like a completely vicious employer. Kang Jinhyuk player... [Yoo Jin-ah''s favorability has decreased to -20.] [I am a little disappointed to see that the spirit beasts seem to have been abused.] Even if it went up, the favorability of the hat was rather negative. quick. A thick vein appeared on Jinhyuk''s forehead. Haha. Guys. Why are you doing this unusually? Have you already forgotten everything I''ve been good to you? Yes? "Lord, are you good to us?" Act as usual. Then there will be no problems. No problems. Jinhyuk warned without losing his smile. You will always come to a crossroads in life. Where do you have to go to survive and die? This is the moment when you have to make a decision. Oh! That''s right. The owner usually feeds me with high-quality firework. He also provides a warm, soft bed. Fortunately, the salamanders sensed the crisis with the unique instinct of the dragon tribe. Master, what''s wrong with you? You''ve always been like that, craving and pampering you. It''s a bummer that you''re good to me. Is that in a dream? Undine couldn''t. Kuma. mosquito? Take care of it. mosquito! soil. A sweet potato saluted with its short legs bit Undine''s leg and disappeared behind a rock. Hey Ik! I was wrong. I made a mistake. A sad voice rang out. But, it was only for a while. It looks a little ugly. Please understand that it is because the education has not been completed yet. "Is it really possible to deal with five of those spirit beasts?" Well, they look cute, but they''re not that kind. Now that you look stupid enough, it''s time to change the mood. Salamander. Jinhyuk''s tone of voice changed. At the same time. Whoops! Salamander''s eyes also changed. The fun is gone. As the heat grew stronger, mana began to gather into a single point. ???????????? ???????????? Its four legs were firmly anchored to the ground, as if preparing for an impending storm. And at that very moment. [The Salamander activates Lv10 ''Fire Path''!] CH 329 . Gate open Before 11 hours (4) The terrifying fire that crossed the straight line burned up all the trees. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! It wasn''t comparable to Dragon''s Breath, but the power of the condensed stream of fire was beyond imagination. Aaaaaah! Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Naturally, the Water Dragon and Armored Drake who were behind them could not escape the attack either. Even before the scream could go away, the fire that engulfed his whole body evaporated even to his bones. Three, my God... Was the Salamander originally a spirit with such great power? "I met a ranker who had a Elementalist job, but at the most, fighting monsters in the early 10th floor was the limit." The players of the Brawl Father''s Guild swallowed dry saliva. In particular, Yoo Jin-ah looked at Jin-hyuk and Salamander with a completely different face from before. [Yoo Jin-ah''s favorability has increased to +30.] [To show such a powerful power means that the bond between the tamer and the summoned beast is that deep. Eugene changes her judgment about you.] [Comprehensive Favorability: 20] Jinhyeok, who saw the wildly rising flames, scratched his chin as if in trouble. Well. Was it too flashy? It was nice to use my abilities to my heart''s content to raise the likes. The plate was too wide. A fireworks display like this would have advertised that there were intruders here. ''Still, it doesn''t matter, since Cheon Yooseong is attracting attention.'' Most of the mana reactions around now were on their way to the shore. By the time they notice this and send their troops, they will have already dug deeper inside. But right then. T-tiring! [I received a video call request from ''Slave No. 2''] [Are you sure you want to accept it?] If it''s Slave No. 2... Melena planted in the Mine Association. If something important happened, I would let you know immediately, but lately there has been little contact due to the quietness of the demons. However, trying to contact you at the right time... . I''ll accept it. Jinhyuk activated video chat. [The opponent''s 1 Advanced Magic Stone and the Sacheondangmun''s ''Blood Spirit Hakjeong Hong'' you have have been consumed.] [The ''third communication network'' has been established.] Melena, with her long haircut, appeared on the screen. I wanted to get in touch with you sooner... but the surveillance was so severe that I barely managed to make a break. It''s fine. What else is going on? You, are you on an island in the East Sea right now? You went there to stop someone who was talking about Shub Nigurs or something, didn''t you? As expected, Melena knows top secret information that only the association and upper guilds share. "Is it related to not only the senior managers but also the Magic Association?" ...that''s right. There''s also the vampire side of it. They''re men with terrifying mana, and they''re supposed to be at the top of the household level. trembling Braham''s ring on Jinhyuk''s finger vibrated. When asked to leave, Elise responded. "Is there no one else from the Mine Association other than you? With a job of this size, there must be at least one member of the Round Table, right?" Yeah. I was going to say it anyway. My code name is Arthur. Nietzsche is more commonly known as my real name. I know you''re strong, but you have to be really careful with this old man. He was a dangerous person enough to be wanted in the rankings. Nietzsche... . It is the same as the name of a famous philosopher. I don''t know if it''s a coincidence or not, but if Melena is trembling in fear, it''s probably not a person to take lightly. Additional information about Nietzsche? Use the power of nothingness. If you fall within a certain range, all unique abilities and skills will be sealed. In other words, you have to fight purely with your physical abilities. Vampires will be attached to it as an escort, so it will be quite difficult to deal with. A combination of a leader and a player that seals abilities. certainly . It''s annoying If you want, you can dig a little deeper into what these guys are up to. The risk goes up, but if you need to. No, that''s enough. If you dig deeper, your identity will be exposed. If I didn''t know it, it could have been dangerous. However, as long as the information has been preempted in advance, there is also time to prepare for it. It must not have been easy, thank you. It really helped a lot. I have no choice but to be stigmatized. In order to live, yours seemed more likely. but. As long as the stigma of the soul is stamped on it, there will be no other options for Melena. It was literally like having a bomb all over his neck. "I will also remove the stigma engraved on my body someday." really? For the first time, a strange emotion appeared on Melena''s face. A small hope began to bloom at the thought that one day I would be able to get out of the excruciating pressure. Yeah. So don''t be too gloomy. I don''t intend to spend the rest of my life. It''s not that there''s no way. If one day we get to see the top of the tower, we may also find a way to remove the restrictions. sure. There is still a lot of time left before reaching the top of the tower. Until then. Let''s just watch today and hold on hard. Okay? I plan to be very thorough. The raid, which was led by the Fight Against Guild, entered further into the island. After that, he often met with water dragons and armored drakes, but the Brawler''s Guild responded calmly while maintaining his formation. kwaang! bang! Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Heavy feet blasted into the shield. It felt so heavy with one blow that the floor was hollowed out. Raise the shield! You must not let even one of them pass! Brother! Two more from the side! The tanks in the front attracted the aggro of the medium-sized Armored Drake. Ugh! Don''t mind the humans in front and aim for the back! Avoid wearing metal balls. They won''t die no matter how hard you hit them! The water dragons riding on Armored Drake''s back shouted. It was because he knew he had to deal with the dealers and healers located in the rear to avoid the tanks. However. [A wide-area provocation skill unfolds!] It was not an attacking force to stand by and watch. Armored Drake''s pupils were torn thin by the provocation skill. Aww! Koooh! He slammed his entire body with the thought of destroying the tankers alone. Stupid bastards! That''s the problem with the lack of intelligence! "We have to step forward." The water dragons threw their tridents wide over their shoulders. A long-range javelin would be enough to pierce through humans. But this time, they failed to achieve their purpose. tuk. All of a sudden, the players riding on Armored Drake''s back took out their swords and spears. You didn''t think we were just watching you, didn''t you? It''s our job to protect the distance dealers. Kaaan! The sword deflected the trident. Shortly thereafter, a bloody battle of blood and flesh unfolded. ''I''m not even going to go out.'' Jinhyuk leisurely watched the battle from behind. Everyone was extremely dry under the pretext of saving mana, so I was able to enjoy a comfortable raid like this. ''The balance has already been broken... .'' Even with the power of the Father to Fight Guild alone, the enemies are being cleaned up without damage. If you push forward a little more, your opponent''s formation will collapse completely. But at that very moment. Pants! A yellow spark arose in the middle of the water dragon. It''s blitz magic! Yoo Jin-ah, who felt an unusual mana, shouted. Several beams of light came out. [Advanced Magician ''Pussy''] Named Monster. It was also an entity that could use magic and Shamanism, not melee elite soldiers. Did arrogant humans dare to step in knowing where this place is? I will pay the price of your lives for polluting the sacred land. Shaktu let out a roar of anger. Dier Taorginak! As the indigenous language of the water dragons comes to an end... . KwaKwaKwa Kwa Kwa Kwa! A huge lightning bolt fell over the dealers'' heads. A moment to the point where the tanks couldn''t even react. The dealership also tried to raise the shield belatedly, but there was too little time to gather a proper mana. suffered when I thought so. [''Glacier Formation'' and ''Sky Shield'' are activated!] Awkward! A huge wall of frozen stood between the thunderbolts and the players. Lightning magic was blocked by the ice wall and scattered. To accept my magic. That''s pretty good. I was a little surprised too. The power is worth using than I thought. At Jinhyuk''s words, the corners of his mouth contorted with anger. Are you saying that people like me will judge my level? I am the magician of the clan who has been practicing magic for hundreds of years. Hmm. After hundreds of years of training, I must have done a lot of other things. Even if you practice for 30 minutes a day, play and eat, well... . I think it should be stronger than this. ...I''ll definitely hear you beg for your life. I''ll make your arms and legs out of charcoal, but if you hold out for even 10 minutes, your life won''t be taken. The old Shaktu pulled out a staff made of red wood. A vicious energy arose from the red staff. Whoops. Jinhyuk also took out the ''Scythe of the Ghost Tree''. When I even wore the black archmage''s robe, I felt as if the archmage who had lived for thousands of years had manifested here. Kye hee hee! The huge eyeballs embedded in the scythe moved quickly. kukuku kuk kuk! Huge mana passed down through two items. I think I''m pretty confident in magic... shit. Jinhyuk snapped his fingers. "Let''s see how many times we can hold out." An ice spear made of glacier modeling appeared. Kshak''tar. Be Athema! The old Shaktu immediately responded with a spear made of lightning. kwaaang! Two spears collided in mid-air. At the same time, Jinhyuk fired the spears made of ice sculptures one by one. The spear that flew across the air collided with the spear made by the old Shaktu again. bang! bang! Whoops! kwaaang! Are you holding up better than you think? Relax...don''t pretend you have it! There must be a limit to how all magic can be activated! limit... . As if to refute that statement, the number of ice spears increased to 20. Incomparable to the previous one, many windows were revealed. Bah, there is a limit to activation... there must be... no, it must be... Shiktu''s voice trembled like crazy. Mumbling as if in denial of reality, he seemed completely lost. From now on, we will multiply the number fivefold. [The unique ability ''Breath of the Fire Dragon'' is activated!] The entire window was engulfed in flames. Let''s raise the power of the spear to the same level. [The unique ability ''Black Tears'' is activated!] Black liquid dripped from the tip of another spear. "Did you say that you would save your life if you hold out for 10 minutes?" Jinhyuk smiled coldly. I''ll save you if you hold on for one minute. Where, if you can survive... . hold on if you can do it All windows disappeared at once. KwaKwaKwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwak! Soon after, dozens or hundreds of spears became a storm. Shiktu used his magic like crazy, but it was hard to receive even half of the spear Jinhyuk sent. Overwhelming power car. The spears mopped the ground and completely blown away the area where Peshaktu stood. Jinhyuk walked slowly towards the ruined place. Hey. You didn''t die in the meantime, did you? Ugh... Thanks to the proper use of the shield and the Blink, the old Shaktu barely managed to survive. However, because of squeezing mana, the inside of her body was completely messed up. I''ve survived one minute, so I want to live as promised, but I''m going to die anyway because of the mana runaway. I''d rather just finish it cleanly. "It''s not over yet it''s not over yet." A mischievous smile crept on the corner of his mouth. Don''t make me regret setting my feet here... I''m afraid to finish speaking. Shiktu took out his dagger and pierced his own heart. Whoops! Blood gushed out like a waterfall and wet the floor. Blood that is quickly absorbed through the soil. And at that very moment. pounding! The ground trembled. CH 330 . Timing Master (1) Coming out of the ground was a crow whose body was covered in silver feathers. You already know what this is. Mythical beast, ''Sylia''. A mythical spirit that protects the water dragons has manifested by contract. "Oh oh !" A voice filled with emotion erupted from the old Shaktu''s mouth. The opportunity has finally come to repay the humiliation suffered so far. "Wow, here Mythical beast species come out." Are you a magician? Or a flying species? I need to know what kind to prepare for anything. Damn. The main raid of the Fight Against Guild had a record of catching S-class boss monsters. A plant-type monster that corresponds to a large class. Although it was difficult to deal with, he was able to finally succeed in hunting the boss monster after spreading a pincer-like attack. But the enemy in front of me right now... . It was different from what I had encountered back then. I can''t even guess the mana estimate... The magic-type hunters with relatively high sensitivity trembled all over. The energy is so strong that it is hard to lift a single finger. Hyung! The drones in the air... stopped working. brother! Neither Lee Tae-min''s machine lord nor Yoo Yeon-hwa''s Hwarang Mind Method were properly activated. right then kukukuku! A gloomy mana with a frost-colored haze strangled his whole body. [[Silia is Lv??] Activate ''mana insight''!] moment, creepy. I had goosebumps all over my body. His eyes shining like sapphires seemed to pierce his heart. Careful! He''s got a mind-type ability! mental series. After all, the most difficult kind came out. Don''t make eye contact! If you make eye contact, you''ll get caught! The raid changed its formation. To be precise, all they had to do was keep their distance as far apart as possible and look down. If you don''t do this, you will be taken over by Syllia and will point your swords at each other. Mr. Eugene! I know! The only hope is Eugene. Only she with taming skills can fight against the Mythical beast. [Jinah Yoo uses her unique ability ''Mentra Timing''!] The golden light from Eugene''s fingertips flowed into Syllia''s body. The power to maximize communion with the target, creating the illusion of being together for the rest of your life. The skill that captured the ichthyosaur shone once again. But. It''s absurd. You''re only fighting me at this level. Silia snorted lightly. The golden mist that had permeated into the body dispersed in an instant. Jinah Yoo''s ability to make a name for herself as a tamer. Doesn''t work as well as nails. This time it''s my turn. Those who keep their heads down will have their heads cut off, and those who raise their heads to live will become puppets and treat them like slaves forever. It was time for Silia to launch an attack. Well? Someone entered Silia''s gaze. A human who walks forward proudly even when everyone has their eyes down. Syllia''s curiosity swelled when she saw the sight of her smiling leisurely. Hey. It seems that there are only cowards among humans. Is that guy the one who harassed the water dragons? No, that''s right. Guardian God! The old man nodded his head. He killed our clan and invaded the holy land! I must kill him right now to avenge my clan! Don''t worry. I have no intention of keeping a cheeky bastard who can''t grasp the subject alive. Silia pulled out a feather. The silvery feathers shone as sharply as a blade. Seeing you stand out proudly, it seems that you also have taming skills. However, it will be useless. Because I am not the type of person who will fall for that skill. Even Yoo Jin-ah, who specializes in taming, couldn''t help it. In fact, it''s like having immunity to all taming skills. sure. Jinhyuk knew that fact. I''m sure it''ll be a little early. My timing is a little different. Different? What do you mean? You can see it. If you look closely, you can see it. Jinhyuk left a meaningful comment. It seems to be a characteristic of your race to show an unreasonable bluff. Syllia, who had been grinning, suddenly tilted her head. for a moment. Come to think of it . There were strange-looking creatures next to Jinhyuk. A black reptile the size of a puppy, followed by a miniature dragon of similar size. It''s quite small, but it''s definitely there. It is the ''Blue Dragon'', one of the Sacred Beasts and four gods of the ancient species and the East. Ugh!? In an instant, Silia almost screamed. The higher Sacred beast, who sits higher than you, and the ancient bell that you can''t even look at will be in one place. But even more surprising... . ''Why are those supreme beings... It''s like you''re escorting humans, aren''t you?'' The Supreme Beings are only submissive to humans. Does that make sense? I couldn''t believe it when I saw it, but I couldn''t just deny it. This is a fucking reality. I haven''t done a lot of taming, hmm. It feels good somehow. It feels like it''s going to work really well. Jinhyuk used his skill towards Silia. [Lv12 ''Communion'' is activated!] A similar color energy flowed out when using the taming skill. Of course, compared to Yoo Jin-ah, her rank has dropped a bit. Because sympathy was only at the level of arousing interest in the target. You can''t do that... Yoo Jin-ah knew that too, so she shed a sad moan. On the other hand, Pyung Shaktu went mad with excitement. Fuhahaha! That''s right. At least I can take you as a comrade! By the way. "Uh uh this power!" Syllia trembled all over. Anguish dripped from his body as if he had been struck by an irresistible force. It was a little clumsy, but even in the current situation, no one noticed it. Huh? to? What, what? Various reactions poured in. At first glance, Syllia is stunned by the seemingly insignificant mana, so she can''t help but be embarrassed. However, for Syllia, this was the only way she could survive. - Hmm. The crow knows how to crawl. You don''t have to take it out until the female lead. - Mosquito mosquito. Syllia forcibly synchronizes according to Jinhyeok''s lack of skill. It wasn''t usually difficult to get tamed on purpose. But, you have to. must do it. Even if I recklessly refused... . ''cause I''m gonna die ''They are the top Sacred beasts to the extent that they don''t even think about making their own stories in front of me.'' With those two beings, it was clear that the mental abilities wouldn''t work properly either. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo The light grew stronger and stronger. And finally. [The timing was successful!] A status window indicating success appears. ''great.'' The corners of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. Perhaps, if I had known about the situation of mana here and the limitations of the manifestation of sweet potato, I would have resisted dying. However, thanks to Silia''s clumsy and quick-witted eyes, things worked out easily as planned. ''It''s a pity that I can''t take you as my subordinate like a black crane.'' Unfortunately, Syllia cannot be submissive through the ''Stigma of the Soul Soul''. This is because he has excellent mental abilities, so he cannot be restrained by the restrictions of the stigma. In addition, since he is in charge of the role of a guardian deity who must protect the water dragons, it would be the limit to be satisfied with using it appropriately in this raid. When Jinhyuk succeeded in taming, the surroundings became quiet as if cold water had been poured. In particular, Yoo Jin-ah was looking at Jin-hyuk with a face full of awe beyond surprise. "Awesome Really. How well do you understand monsters, how did you tame a Mythical beast without a dedicated taming skill?" She, too, had lived with many animals before the tower appeared. It was thanks to that that I got a job called a tamer. Because. How difficult it is to tame a superior species. How much do you have to love and cherish the monsters? I knew better than anyone. '' I must have been looking at the person completely wrong.'' Yoo Jin-ah''s gaze changed to warm. At the same time. [Eugene''s favorability rises to the maximum.] [Successful to copy ability.] [Mentra Timing] Acquisition Difficulty: AA Description: You can tamper with monsters of the same rank or lower. (You can tame more powerful monsters depending on the skill level, and if you tame a high-ranked monster, you can raise the skill''s own rank.) A special skill that can grow on its own depending on conditions. This gave me another ability. While everyone''s eyes were focused on the island that appeared on the east coast. On the roof of a high-rise building in Seoul, a gate that no one noticed was open. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Someone appeared from the ominous red gate. kuung! The owner of the footsteps, feeling the heavy weight, looked down on the panoramic view of Seoul from the rooftop. Is this outside the tower? Humans outside the tower are living in filthy gatherings. bursting muscles. Golden hair and a shaggy beard. It is Thor, the Thunder Lord, one of the strongest Primary Gods in Northern Europe. And next to him stood a handsome man with red hair. Loki. Are you sure that person came out of the tower? Yeah. He just left Moorim to stop Shub Niguras. I heard it from the middle-level managers, so it''s solid information. Loki nodded his head. Both divinities visited Korea for one purpose. Kang... Kang... Damn it. I forgot my name again. It''s Jinhyuk Kang. Memorize your name properly. It''s a name that came up a few times in the Primary God meeting, what if I forget it? Damn it. Anyway! All we need to do is find that bastard, isn''t it? That''s right. He''s the key figure in this case. Hold on for a while. We need to find his location first. Loki''s eyes narrowed. ''Loki''s Eye''. Thanks to the snow that could see out a thousand kilometers, it was possible to cover the whole of Korea from the roof of the building. But right then. Throb! Loki''s expression frowned. What''s going on? No... it has nothing to do with the mission. It doesn''t matter. Just looking at your face, it''s clear that something is wrong. Although I''m ignorant, I''m not an idiot. At Thor''s words, Loki opened his mouth heavily. The Valkyries sent to the middle floors were annihilated. ...! Are you saying that the senior Valkyrie ''Beretina'' is dead? They''re Greeks. That''s the ''monster'' I think he came out on his own. He said he wiped out one troop of Valkyrie alone. A person who can destroy the world even with his bare body. Greece''s strongest fighter and demigod, Hercules was a disaster for the Nordic divinities. It''s getting annoying. Even if you find the crown like this, it won''t be easy to retrieve it. If you get caught, Thor. I think you''ll have no choice but to buy some time. That''s right. I''m the only one who can deal with that guy. However, all of this is possible when the crown is safely secured. The first priority is to find the exact location of the crown. And according to the prophet who can see the future... . Those who know the location of the ''Crown of Doom'' are now in Korea. Loki''s eyes grew more and more golden. That moment. found. His gaze stopped at one place. CH 331 . Timing Master (2) the heart of the island. Inside the cave full of stalactites, I could see the appearance of Exension and Hysynth. It''s coming in smoothly. Without realizing that this is a trap. The corners of Hisinth''s lips, who were looking at the huge crystal ball in the center, were slightly twisted. The more the other person misunderstands, the more. After that, the feeling of despair grows even more. I felt like I was going crazy because I wanted to quickly see Jinhyuk and the rest of the people''s faces contorted in pain. How can I make it more thrilling? After all, wouldn''t it be best to have them watch them die doing nothing in the end to save each other? No. Would it be better to just slowly torture and kill each other from your fingertips? Thinking that he could definitely kill Elise this time, Hysynth felt his whole body heat up. However. Everything is too smooth. Axencion muttered, as if he didn''t like something. It was what I wanted to lure Jinhyuk and Elise even deeper. The problem is that speed. No, it''s good if things are going well. Why are you so anxious about useless things? The Sacred beast Syliana had to hold onto his ankles much longer than they do now. I was planning to delay the time until the manifestation of Shub Niguras just in case, but there is a risk that the foundation will be shaken. Even if they fail, there will be no variables as long as they hold out until the timing of the appearance of Shub Niguras. The original plan was to design the trap perfectly in double or triple. Isn''t that supposed to mean that he''s in a hurry to calculate that? That''s megalomania. Yeah. Maybe I''m being overly cautious. But, remember, two heads of state have already lost their lives while bewildering that man. " " At Axencion''s words, Hysynth kept her mouth shut. That''s it. Amulam, who led the Decassus family, and Abigail, who led the Levisita family. All of them were fatal, so they set up a plan that they were sure of and confronted Jinhyuk. But the results were all unsuccessful. Only the remnants of the two families that have disappeared to ashes are hovering around the empty space. Don''t identify with me with those idiots. First of all, our families are of different classes. Besides, this time, you came to destroy Elise. The troops we prepared were enough to wage war against the divinities. It was when Hisinth clenched his fist. jerk. This, the great housekeepers seem to be very worried. A new person appeared in the cave. An old man wearing a black robe. It is Nietzsche, the head of the Mine Association. "You''re not that demon or something, isn''t it?" When I asked you to watch the net outside, did you already forget your duty? If it wasn''t for Hasting''s request, we wouldn''t have been together... Axencion and Hysynth frowned. Because the demons were only forced to be together, they didn''t even like being in one place. However. Please don''t look at me like a thorn in my eyes. No, did I come here without any qualifications? In Nietzsche''s next words... . Currently, the divinities in the upper levels are moving in search of the crown. As you know, the crown is the key relic that balances the tower. Of course, vampires will need one of them too? Your symbol, the ''unique crown'' This is it. ...!? " !!" The atmosphere changed in an instant. The name of the treasure that all vampires desperately seek will come from here. ''The Crown of Pure Blood''. It is the most pure and beautiful crown among the seven crowns, called the Holy Grail containing the ''blood of the beginning''. You... how did you do that...? You know what you shouldn''t know about human subjects. The complexion of the two heads of state has changed 180 degrees. The life that comes out of the cold face. Ugh... Melena, who was behind Nietzsche, could not bear the pressure and trembled like an aspen. Fufu. This old man has no intention of touching the vampire family''s wrath. However, in order to obtain the Crown of Pure Blood, wouldn''t you also need some help? Help? What kind of help do you have? To all of you, we humans may feel that we are nothing more than worms... But worms also have their own powers. Just like you know the existence of the crown and its name. The speed at which information is acquired. If there''s only one thing where the Mines have an edge over the residents... . The point was that he was trying to secure information about the tower like a frighteningly reckless one. Regardless of any means and methods. ...Tell me. How did you get such information? Did you hear from those demon world guys? Hey, can you tell us our secret easily anyway? but. slurp... . A dark purple sphere appeared next to Nietzsche. [Summon ''Blackness'', the spirit beast of the forgotten element!] Earth, fire, wind, water, light. It is common knowledge that the spirit water must belong to one of the five elements. However, the spirit water that appeared in front of me now was a new spirit that did not belong to any of them. A heterogeneous mana with dark attributes. "You the hell. What is your identity?" Even Excension was genuinely surprised this time. Following the knowledge of the crown''s existence. This is because he never imagined that he would meet the 6th Spirit Beast who had hidden his existence in the tower tens of thousands of years ago. If you arrange a relationship with Hasting, who only cares about the 50th floor, and make a deal with me instead, I will make sure that the divinities of the upper classes don''t attack you. Of course, even get the crown. Nietzsche began to weave a new plate. With the support of the spirit beasts, Jinhyuk ran through the island in the shortest distance. Heh heh, heh heh, heh heh. You''re too fast. "Is that person even with infinite stamina? He doesn''t get tired even after hunting so many monsters." The raid team followed up with all their might, but it was not enough to catch up with Jinhyuk. Even Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min couldn''t miss Jin-hyeok in sight. The only person who could afford it was Cheon Yuseong. I''m running out of time, so I''ll go first. Don''t force yourself to follow me, but don''t fall. Block the enemies from behind. I... we can still follow along. We can''t give up here if we want even a small amount of power to help... no. Cheon Yoosung shook his head. You are a burden rather than a help. Cool, but this is the reality. There is a law that there is a wall that can never be crossed by humans. Yoo Jin-ah knew that too, so she bit her lip. ...Okay. We''ll take responsibility for the rear. Let''s go first. It''s a smart idea. Cheon Yu-seong further accelerated the pace. How long has it been? Suddenly, a huge gate appeared in front of the two people who had reached the inside of the island. The size alone is about 20m. Red sparks flickered incessantly. The mana flowing from the inside of the gate is unusual. At least it seems to correspond to a higher labyrinth or ruins. Cheon Yuseong looked at the gate entrance. I felt a sense of incongruity when I first experienced the gate decorated with various runes. Yoosung-ah. What? I''m sorry, can you come and take a look around the gate? Suddenly go reconnaissance? Am I alone? This gate... it''s a type I''ve attacked once before, but my memory is a bit vague. Go around the area and find a turquoise-colored magic stone. Damn it... I see. If you don''t think you can do it. Cheon Yoosung grumbled and left the place. OK. Jinhyuk, who was left alone, took a step towards the gate. [Difficulty cannot be measured.] [The passage leading to ''????'' is open.] [The number of players that can enter is two.] Uncertainty that will lead to the risk of not being able to measure the difficulty. Because of this, Jinhyuk gave a reasonable excuse and sent Cheon Yooseong away. Not only for the raid, but if you say it''s dangerous with your skills, he''ll go crazy. It would be better for the proud fool not to speak directly, but to provide an adequate excuse to avoid it as it is now. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo As I entered the room, my vision darkened. And when I open my eyes again... . The scenery I saw had completely changed. May this be... . An earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk''s pupil. I couldn''t help but be surprised. This temple... Because it was never supposed to be here. -This my it''s a castle Elise in ''Braham''s Ring'' opened her mouth. At the same time. Elise came out of the ring as mana was injected. I miss you. I used to live here... The place that announced its beginning as the head of Ataraxia. At the same time, it was also the final destination due to the betrayal of the heads of state. Did the vampires play a prank? Recreate the place you lived in? No. This is not a fake. It must be seen that the space itself is connected. I don''t know what the reason for trying to provoke Elise is. What''s certain is... . What they''ve done is sure to work. A small spark erupted in Alice''s red pupil. Regret and despair... . And beyond all that. I could feel the anger that had accumulated over the centuries. right then Kurre... Kong! Kung! Kung! Kung! Uh-uh. A growl of beasts echoed from behind Jinhyuk and Elise. Saliva dripping through sharp teeth. A black three-headed dog looked at the intruder. Cerberus is known as the watchdog of hell. But what caught his eye was the female vampire with purple hair next to Cerberus. Hisin... su! Alice exposed her fangs. A maid with a sword at herself. An opportunity to avenge one of the culprits has come. It''s been a while. Little Ataraxia. No, it''s better to call me the former headmaster now? Where is the Accension? After all, are you looking for that man as soon as you meet him? It''s a bit disappointing that I don''t even care. Don''t talk bullshit right now. Answer the question! Where is that bastard now! I''m nearby. I''ll be able to see your face soon, even if you don''t rush me. Hisinth laughed softly. Then, this time, his gaze turned to Jinhyuk. "Are you that Kang Jin-hyeok, a human being? Did you say that we spread ashes all over our plans?" Hey. It''s an honor. The owner remembers all my names. But the fact that you have the puppy. Can I interpret it as holding hands with the Greek idiots? ...It''s been too long. Let the conversation end. Kill me. Everything. Creep...! At Hysynth''s command, a fire broke out in Cerberus'' mouth. Whoops! There was great heat. The crimson flames that lost control raged like crazy. [Cerberus activates ''Fear of Hell''!] Indeed, it deserves to be called the gatekeeper of the underworld. Even the crow I had dealt with before had a reputation as a Sacred beast in its own way. Cerberus had a different dimension from that. Let''s go, Elise. Huh. Elise nodded her head. Thank you. This moment. For being with me. Words of sincerity are conveyed. At the same time. [The unique holy lance ''Revelation of Gaebyeok'' is open!] Alice''s appearance began to change slowly. CH 332 War of Revelation (1) ''The Revelation of Gaebyeok''. It is a unique holy spear that symbolizes Elise. At the same time, it was one of the abilities that must come out when talking about the strongest. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo Black wings sprouting along the shoulder. On the back, a red ring took its shape. In an instant, a fear that was heavier and hotter than the flames of Cerberus burned. It is an overwhelming presence. As the lord of Ataraxia, who was evaluated as the strongest among all the lords in the past, and the absolute who is evaluated as the pure-blooded empress. It''s pretty good. That power. Still, it''s far short of what it used to be. That''s true. It''s embarrassing compared to the past Jim. Alice stretched her right hand to the side. But, it''s not enough to kill you alone. Dozens of reddish skewers appeared from the tips of long, white fingers. But. Despite the numerous skewers in front of him, Hysynth was still smiling leisurely. It''s a natural thing. Well. Who is going to die? It has its own holy spear. Because she was the same. [Hisyns is opening the unique spear ''Thunderbolt Weapon''!] His whole body was dyed white. Due to magic, the hair, which had been tinged with a coveted purple color, also changed to its original white color. Pants! A spark erupted, and a terrifying mana engulfed the space. A window completely covered in white salt. This time, I will burn you to charring. Wraith of Ataraxia! His appearance disappeared as it was. Aww! As the harpoon and the spear collided, the left and right columns collapsed like toothpicks. It''s such a huge blow that the scenery you see changes with just one attack. Elise immediately continued the next attack. Poop Phu Phu! The red awls that came up through the ground tried to pierce Hysynth''s body. ! With this much! Hysynth grabbed the approaching awl with her bare hands. With a crackling sound... . The awls were crushed to dust. The blood could not maintain its composition due to the unimaginable high-temperature voltage. This time it''s my turn! A dazzling brilliance flickered from the tip of Hysynth''s spear. [[Hisynth is Lv??] Activate ''Blazing Lightning''!] Heat over 50,000 degrees. A single ray of light aimed at Alice''s forehead. Pants! He made a sword by changing the shape of the harpoon Elise was holding. spear and sword. All of them are deadly weapons made in the state of a unique holy spear. And the moment the two blades collided. kukuku kuk kuk! The whole temple shook violently. While Elise and Hisinth entered the battle in earnest. "Then, let''s start this one too soon." Jinhyuk raised the black mana in both hands. As the ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong'' was activated, the fist was completely covered with black energy. tick. The index finger moved back and forth. this is provocation I will yield the player, so please come in first. Of course, Cerberus wasn''t the only one standing still after seeing it. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo With the roar of Cerberus. A long stream of fire erupted towards Jinhyuk. Instead of reducing the range, the firepower was maximized. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! In an instant, the place where Jinhyuk was standing turned into a sea of fire. sure. Tuk! Jinhyuk had been away from there for a long time. ''For now, let''s take a look at the level lightly.'' Jinhyuk, who grabbed Cerberus''s back in the blink of an eye, clenched his fist. Boom! Aww! A scream of pain erupted from the mouth of Cerberus, who had been hit in the hind leg. It was a shock to be able to hit the Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong with a whopping 4 star power orthodoxly. However, what surprised me was that Jin-hyeok, who attacked, was the same. ''Is it stronger than I thought?'' I was thinking of breaking the center of gravity at once. Surprisingly, the defense of Cerberus was high. In fact, I don''t think he got the nickname of the underworld''s guard dog for free. Not only attack, but defense as well. Boo-woong! The foot that brushed the ground avoided Cerberus'' claws. At a moment where it could be said that they were almost simultaneous. thud! This time, Jinhyuk firmly put his feet on the ground. An indescribable energy arose from the weighted fist. ''The Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong (ħʹ)''. The black-and-white martial arts. Mugong, which was further refined and improved in Moorim, began to bloom slowly. And this is the first Basic Form. ''Equation 1''. It swallowed the light, and the surroundings were dyed black. mana gathered towards one point. ''The Heukryun Dark Curse (݆ȭ)''. The condensed gas was released all at once. Aww! A fist digging into the skull ran through Cerberus''s head. Kae-gaeng! Cerberus'' body dug into the ground. One of the heads that had been hit was bent to the right with its tongue sticking out. The attack worked properly. Because I dealt with one of the three. But. When you think things are going to be easy. Cerberus used a unique ability. [Cerberus has used his unique ability ''Call of the Underworld''!] The other two heads blow mana towards the dead head. OK. The droopy and lifeless pupil regained focus. Kurre... The head that was resurrected as if it were like that Again, fierce flames erupted along the jaws. It''s ridiculous. What the hell do you have to eat to have that kind of hair? Jinhyuk clicked his tongue as if he was tired. As a result of checking with the ''Eyes of Gluttony'', each of the heads of Cerberus has different properties. You can inflict effective damage only through physical attacks, magical attacks, and the unique mana of Sacred beasts or Mythical beasts. The problem is that if you destroy them one by one, they will be resurrected through the ''Call of the Underworld'' as just before. ''It means that to kill him, you have to use three elemental attacks without a single error... This made my head hurt.'' Unfortunately, this one is currently alone. However. Even that stupid vampire is fighting so hard, I just can''t give up on something like this. promised I promise to make you smile at the end of this fight. I promise to make you forget all the pain and suffering you''ve been through. Jinhyuk''s eyes turned to the distant part of the temple. Accention. The one who usurped the House of Ataraxia is also somewhere in this temple. Finally, the time to focus on Alice''s journey has come to a close. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo A white blizzard followed Jinhyuk''s hand. From now on, that strong body will be a curse. [''Glacier Sculpting'' and ''Sword of the Sky'' are activated!] The frozen crystals formed the shape of a giant sword. The frost that came down from the sky... . [''Glacier Sculpting'' and ''Earth Sword'' are activated!] The frost rising from the ground met. damn! Cerberus'' body froze between the swords. But it was only for a short time. The ice slowly began to melt due to the fear that Cerberus'' body erupted from. I expected that! Puff Puff Puff! Drops of blood from cracked skin caused by cryogenic temperatures. As the ''Blood Explosion'' obtained from Amulam was activated, the blood exploded all at once. Aaaaaah! No matter how strong Cerberus is, it doesn''t mean that he can''t feel pain when attacked. Even more so if it reproduces Gaju''s ability. so obscured vision. Jinhyuk called ''Tomb Grave''s Right Arm''. the giant''s arm. high speed sword. Two abilities unfolded in one place. The remnants of the twin dragon swords faded away. The wave that spread out in ripples instantly disappeared from view. not evaporated. just. Scratch! It''s just that the waves have turned into an intangible sword. One of Cerberus''s heads was cut off. But. There was no smile on Jinhyuk''s face. ...I mean, you can''t mix glacier-shaped mana with giant god mana. Even if you do this, you won''t die. I''m sure I''ve dealt with this guy before, but it wasn''t this tough. right then ...! Jinhyuk reflexively used the barrier. [The unique ability ''Ancient barrier'' is activated!] [The 7-star barrier ''Element Break'' unfolds!] The barrier that removes the energy of the fire element was stretched out. Whoops! The stream of flames emanating from Cerberus''s mouth subsided. Of course, that doesn''t mean the threat is gone. In the first place, that gigantic beast''s body itself was a weapon. bang! bang! bang! My feet pounded on the ground relentlessly. By the way, I''m glad the attack pattern is simple. Jin-hyeok, who unfolded ''Sword Demon Cheonryeongbo'', slipped through them like a loach. Of course, while he was running away, he swung his twin dragon swords and inflicted a lot of cuts on his ankles. Blood dripped from the tip of the knife. shallow It doesn''t end like this. Kurre... Cerberus, who had been beaten over and over again, realized that the pain would only increase if he continued like this. A new variable will be needed to break the parallel lines that follow. Cerberus drew that card first. Koooooooh! Red eyes were revealed all at once in the shadows hidden by the pillars following a loud shout. Multiple transitions through shadows. There were more than a dozen of them slowly coming up to the ground. Moreover, they were all pure-bloods who inherited the blood of Hysynths, not lower ranks. Hmm. Was this something we were going to do too? It''s amazing. There are humans that this monster can''t even touch. I think it''s a few steps higher than what I''ve heard. Anyway. The opponent is alone anyway. That''s right. Hisinth-sama said we fight alone, so if we all fight, there''s no way we can''t beat that guy. It''s annoying, but it''s true. It was almost impossible to deal with Cerberus and even his blood relatives at the same time. in a moment. It looks like it will be a difficult fight. Jinhyuk held a fang in one hand and a Kruger in the other. But at that very moment. An unexpected surprise occurred. [A new player has entered the temple!] [Number of players allowed to enter (2/2)] A person spouting life through the gate broke in. Damn it. You dare to leave me alone? If you scouted around the gate to enter by yourself like this, I''ll cut off the head right now! Cheon Yoosung shouted out loudly. but Well? Cheon Yuseong, who looked around, tilted his head. The plan was to punish Jinhyeok who came here alone... . What is this? As soon as I walked in, the inside was completely hell. A temple full of vampires. Also, isn''t the three-headed dog in the center spitting out saliva and fire? Hey, I''m glad. Our Yoosung. Really thirsty, I''ve been waiting, but it''s finally here? Jinhyuk smiled brightly. uh ? Hurry up, help. Do you know how to wield a sword? You just have to cut it according to your personality. It means you have to kill everything you want. "Wait wait a minute. Let''s start by explaining what happened !" I''ll take the left. Take the right. I only trust you. widely! Jinhyuk took his seat. Hey, I''m going to kill you... Damn it! Cheon Yu-seong had no choice but to fix the sword with both hands. When the ''Song of the Sword'' was activated, a subtle energy rose. with it. The fight has entered a new phase. CH 333 . War of Revelation (2) KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The celestial sword crossed the air. It is because he has already reached the point where he can handle swordsmanship freely, and he has learned the essence of ''Chuhonsword'' from Chuhonsayeong. The present land of Cheonyuseong had reached a level that even the residents could not easily overcome. Aww! No, stop! Blood magic doesn''t work. What kind of human is like that! At least five stick together. That''s the only way to stop it! A cry of pain erupted from among the blood relatives. This is because it was not normal to deal with Cheon Yu-seong, who quilted all over the place. However, Cheon Yu-seong was also caught up in battle out of the blue, and his body was drenched in sweat. It is rather dangerous to procrastinate on time. It hits the top. puff puff puff! Cheon Yu-seong, who had overpowered the three in an instant, flew straight to the head of the clan. It''s okay. Anton. A vampire with a massive, muscular body wielded a sword that was twice as large as a normal rapier. Kaka Kaka! The sword and the rapier collided head-on. A dazzling flame rose, illuminating each other''s faces. The current situation in which we have no choice but to do our best. Yes. This is all... This is all... Anton and Cheon Yuseong sharpened their teeth at the same time. While squeezing out the profanity that erupted from within. Because of Kang Jin-hyuk! Everyone''s voices came together. ''Ummm.'' Jinhyuk scratched his ear. Why is it even in the midst of a fierce battle? It feels like someone is telling a lot of their story. right then Aww! Jinhyuk cut off the head of a blood relative who came close to his nose. At the moment when shallow veins of blood are about to scatter in the air. tuk. The tip of the Kruger touched the vampire''s forehead. A gun? It''s not even tickling like a toy. Well. Mine will sting a little? Taang! The bullet reinforced through ''Blessing of the Stars'' and ''Mandala'' went straight through the head. Although a vampire with extreme regenerative power, the wounds showed no sign of recovery. Poetry, it''s divine power! Yeah. That human. I said I could use that dirty power too. Those who handle swords only take on the top seven blood relatives, and all the rest deal with those humans. What matters now is not the swordsman, but that guy. The purebreds leading the kin shouted to burst their throats. The combination of Kruger and fangs was a disaster for vampires. It''s a natural thing. It was because Jin-hyeok, who was proud of being the strongest in the past, was the main specialty in medium-range combat using a sword and gun. If it goes like this, no matter how many blood relatives there are, there will be windholes in the head. But at that moment. The divine power from the bullets subtly faded. ...! Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. no doubt Melena said... ''Ability Seal''. In other words, it means that Nietzsche, the head of the Mine Association, is here. Jinhyuk stopped attacking and widened the distance. Come out. Don''t hide. Jinhyuk pointed his gun towards the darkness. OK. A dull sound was heard from somewhere out of sight. widely! An old man with a cane appeared. Chuckle. I was planning to seal this ability little by little, did you notice it? Your ability to sense mana is truly beyond your imagination. Indeed, my subordinates and housekeepers must have suffered. Even if you don''t say who you are, you know who Isa is. Nietzsche. The leader of the demons and the one who takes the position of ''King Arthur'', the end point of the round table. He is a player with the most heterogeneous ability among unique abilities. Jinhyuk quickly activated the ''Eyes of Gluttony''. Name: Nietzsche Gender: Male Age: ??? Level: 105 Strength 33 Dexterity 35 Stamina 32 mana 95 Chaos Power 332 Stat Points you have: 0 Occupation: Apostle of the Abyss Unique Ability: Nihilism (Purple) skill: ''Telekinetic Power'' Lv27, ''Dark Blade'' Lv26, ''Absolute obedience'' Lv24, ''Oath of another'' Lv23, ''Black Magic'' Lv22 [[Copy condition: Paranoid patient in nihilism. sociopath. All of those modifiers refer to this man. In order to copy his unique ability, two conditions must be met.] 1. We must destroy the power of emptiness. 2. You must make the higher divinity who supports Nietzsche give up his apostle.] The degree of copying ability varies depending on how perfectly you achieve the copying conditions. A Black Apostle who can be said to be a descendant of the Demon King. However, Nietzsche, who can be said to be the head of the Magic Association, finished his job change to the ''Apostle of the Abyss'', a higher class of the Black Apostle. ''I switched to a class that was quite troublesome.'' As the Black Apostle receives the Demon King''s Blessing, all stats and stats increase dramatically. The higher rank ''Apostle of the Abyss'' raises not only the stats but also the ranks of their unique abilities. It means that the nihilism that corresponds to the S rank receives the Demon King''s Blessing and exerts more power than that. But what stands out more than that... . ''When I heard from Melena, I didn''t think there was anyone who could get that unique ability in its perfect form.'' To be honest, I couldn''t help but be surprised. Purple grade nihilism. The unique ability to govern the complete form of emptiness rather than fragments was as difficult to obtain as ''fusion''. However, he now faces a monster that has achieved all those conditions. ''It''s not a player, it''s almost a middle or upper Demon Clan.'' And to Cerberus, the gatekeeper of the underworld. Things turned out to be more serious than expected. It was because Elise was too busy fighting with Hysynth. right then Took. Cheon Yu-seong''s back touched Jin-hyuk''s. That ability is annoying. Is there no way? Cheon Yu-seong was holding his sword in both hands and gasping for breath. The sword that used to sing beautifully suddenly lost its movement. Because his abilities were sealed, he was pushed back and reached this point. Did you have a hard time too? Seeing you grunt like that because you can''t use the sword song or the soul sword? Damn it. What the hell do you think of me? I''m not immortal either. Yeah? I thought I had gained invincible skill because I always attacked without fear. ...with just one more word from there, I can cut you down first. Jinhyuk and Cheon Yoosung quarreled. Nietzsche, who was watching it, clicked his tongue as if it was ridiculous. Hmm. You''re still joking around with silly jokes. It seems that you haven''t fully grasped the situation yet. [Niche activates Lv27 ''Telekinetic Power''!] In an instant, a tinnitus dug along the eardrum. hey hey! Is this...? Hey! Stupid swordsman! Know! Jinhyuk and Cheon Yuseong broke their index fingers at the same time. with a sharp pain. The timing of the body''s restraint was off. Thanks to this, the stone thorn failed to pierce the body. kwaaang! The floor shattered, and debris splattered in all directions. Huh? The corners of Nietzsche''s lips twisted slightly. As if seeing something interesting. Did mana see through my abilities just by trying to be cycled for the first time? It''s a temporary measure, but he also knows how to destroy it. Normally, the fact that the skill was sealed would be embarrassing. However, Jinhyuk and Cheon Yuseong seemed to be familiar with this kind of situation, and they were responding so perfectly. "This one also went through a lot of prenatal and prenatal trials." Well, it''s a race against time anyway. If you make even one mistake, that''s the end of it. Really, how many minutes will you survive... Shall we see? Nietzsche again gathered mana. Time is distorted, and the freedom of the body is constrained. That''s the start. bang! kwaaang! A long-distance attack followed by restraint by telekinesis. Although basic, it was an unreasonably dangerous combo for an opponent whose unique abilities and skills were sealed. Whoops! Jinhyuk stabbed his thigh with the tip of his fangs. ...! Thanks to the bitter pain, it can respond only to the part about ''bondage''. At least, right before he was fatally wounded, there was a gap he could get out of. what. Even that was only for a moment, about 0.67 seconds. When Jinhyuk and Cheon Yuseong narrowly missed the attack like loachs, Nietzsche went mad. Khahaha! That''s pretty good. Try avoiding this this time around! [Niche activates Lv22 ''Black Magic''!] kukuku kuk kuk! Purple smoke billowed over the rock fragments. It is a cursed skill created by collecting deep-seated grudges. Keiei... It hurts. It hurts. It hurts! Kill me, kill me! A terrible scream erupted from the empty pupils and the long torn mouth. Deep-seated grudges, who died in extreme pain and terror, specialized in disrupting the minds of subjects they came in contact with. There. It also had a physical chain explosion. Naturally, if you reach there, that''s the end of it. Jinhyuk instinctively swung his sword. However. Aww! There is no way a dagger without divine power could cut through a deep-seated grudge. A huge explosion occurred. Smoke billowed out, and the surroundings were quickly engulfed in purple flames. sure. Nietzsche did not stop at that level. Boo woo woo... . Aww! Aww! Dozens of deep-seated grudges began to ravage the area where the explosion occurred. It was a ruthless bombardment that did not leave any gaps at all, as if they were going to eliminate even the slightest possibility. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo When Cerberus'' horror was added, a scene reminiscent of a living hell was created. "Uh you are the last human being." It''s worthy of the headmaster himself to call. Those damn human bastards can''t even move. That''s why we can''t even find the body? There won''t be any remake cars left. The blood relatives who were watching spit out one word at a time. Red flames erupted from the huge crater. Whoops! Nietzsche, who was looking at the heat wave, turned around. Because there was no such thing as a living being that could survive in this. the moment I thought. A familiar shadow appeared from behind Nietzsche''s back. Although it was scorched by fire and covered in dust, Jinhyuk and Cheon Yuseong''s eyes were still dazzling. without sound or sign. fast and light. Two swords cut off Nietzsche''s neck. no. Kaaan! I thought it was cut. Of course. I expected you guys to survive the attack. Nietzsche slowly turned his head. "Of course, I also knew that they would attack me and attack me." [''Dark Blade'' is activated!] A different level of cutlery from the ones that molded stones. Demon Clan''s demonic energy completely enveloped the blade. I''ll let you know that no matter how hard you try, it''s a gap that can''t be filled. By the way. That was when the blades were about to rush in. [divinity intervenes on the battlefield.] A new variable intervened. CH 334 . War of Revelation (3) lower middle class upper class. In this way, there are a total of three reference points that divide the Tower of Trials. Usually, if the lower floor is the floor where players adapt to the tower... . The middle class is the place where you start to fully understand the tower through power battles with big powers such as the Moorim and the Spirit Empire. However, from the upper level, the character is completely different. It''s a natural thing. no matter what... . Those who live on the upper floors have in the past reached the top of the tower or even reached the threshold of the last 50th floor. And. One of the great powers representing the upper classes appeared in front of us at this moment. Those who didn''t expect it at all. huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo [Unable to measure! The grade barrier is unfolding!] [The space within 50m around is cut off from the outside!] in a distorted space. jerk. The sound of light footsteps resounded. Hmm. It looks like they''re busy fighting and fighting. I don''t know who it is. The guy has... dark hair. Is it one of them? There''s a handsome guy and a less handsome guy? Wait. All you have to do is ask. Armor that is far from modern. A blonde beard and a relaxed smile caught my eye. ''I hope these guys will come here.'' Jinhyuk glanced at Elise. Ellis and Hisinth could not see this side because of the barrier. ''Well, I''ve met the enemy of my life, and I can''t afford to worry about anything else. Above all else, he''s not a friendly enough opponent to sell one eye to.'' Up until now, I have seen and experienced various variables while climbing the Tower of Trials... . In any case, before the 30th floor of the tower was liberated. The beings from the upper levels never came down outside the tower. ''This too... Is it one of the variables that Sae Young-Eon-Hwan said?'' It is said that the top of the tower is different from what was previously known. At the time, I thought it was just meaningful nonsense, but as time goes on, I will know for sure. A butterfly that has never existed before is bringing a new wind. sure, ''After all, this is fun.'' From Jinhyuk''s point of view, these various variables came more interesting than embarrassing. My heart thumped happily at the fact that I could see a new tower, not a tower I was tiredly familiar with. right then I''m sorry to disturb you while we''re fighting hard... We''re looking for someone. May I ask for your attention for a moment? Ah! Should I introduce myself first? I''m Loki and the guy next to me is Thor. Nordic side They represent the gods. A voice sounded like a rolling jade ball. It was a playful voice, but none of those present could ignore it. "Who is Jinhyuk Kang among you?" short question. In an instant, everyone''s eyes turned to Jinhyuk. The corners of Loki''s lips rose slightly. Is it that way too. Hmmm. In fact, we need to have this kind of energy to be the kind of player we were looking for. Some residents will not be able to compete at all. Thank you for being kind to me, but why are people in the upper echelons looking for me? Isn''t it obvious why residents are looking for players? We need a new card to break the balance. It has as much potential as possible. Break the balance... . There is only one reason for Loki to say that. Is it because of Olympus? Jinhyuk spit out a word that didn''t matter. A word that is never taken lightly. "How do you ?" An earthquake occurred in Loki''s pupil. The smile on his smirk face was also visible. How do you know about our relationship with them...? It must be information that players don''t even know about? Indeed, it is. Even players in the upper ranks will rarely encounter divinity. Of course, they wouldn''t even know about the interests or power struggles of the upper classes. ''You can''t mention the past when you climbed the tower here.'' if so. The ''Book of the Prophet'' written by the goddess Frigg. I stumbled across a part of it. Ragnarok in Northern Europe and the Titans in Olympus. And I got a rough idea about the story of the only force that can survive. in Norse mythology. Odin''s wife Frigg. Some of the prophecies she left are hidden in the ruins located on the 19th floor of the tower. Of course, I didn''t actually get my hands on it. It''s just that I gave Lokin and Thor an appropriate excuse to convince themselves. ''Anyway, the contents of the prophecy are all in my head.'' You made this seem more attractive as a conciliatory target, so you''ve put the best bait you can do right now. And that expectation... . Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuo really master grade? It''s not just usable, it''s a complete treasure. It''s worth coming to this far. Hey, Thor. Remember it well. bring it to you. Yeah. I''d rather do that. accurately hit. I''m glad you liked it. Personally, I''m also very interested in the Nordic side. Hmm. It''s not a good place to talk in detail, so why don''t we move? It''s going to take some time to talk. I''d like to too, but as you can see, things aren''t going well. Thanks to you, we stopped for a while, but we''re pretty much in a rush. Jinhyuk shrugged. Nietzsche and many of his kin will rush back whenever the opportunity arises. Not to mention Cerberus, which can''t be killed in any way. If we can get this all sorted out, can you give us a positive review of this proposal? This time, it was Jinhyuk''s turn to be surprised. Really? Are you going to use your power outside the tower? Divinity doesn''t say two things with one mouth. At least the divinities that belong to us. Just going down to the lower floors of the tower would be limiting beyond imagination. How much less is this happening outside the tower at all? I have no idea what I sacrificed. Are you really going to sacrifice Mj?lnir? When Jinhyuk made an expression of disbelief, Loki smiled again. Once again, we don''t have to worry. You''re going to want to see our skills anyway, right? You''ll need to check what level of dignity we are in order to be together in the future. A golden dagger appeared from Loki''s fingertips. The tip of the sword adorned with splendid jewels was imbued with a subtle energy. The ancestors are behind us. Are you really going to war? Ah. Of course. If only Kang Jin-hyeok can be obtained, we can handle it. Enough to make all of you enemies. Above all, Jinjo, the only one who doesn''t want to fight, is already with Kang Jin-hyuk. perfect enemy. Wow! Nietzsche, who judged that the conversation was useless, spread the distance at once. At the same time, the purple blades crossed the air in unison. It''s a shallow goal that doesn''t want even a player to be taken away from it. However. Kaka Kaka Kaka! The blade was cut in half before it even touched Loki''s body. Loki took a leisurely step through the red-hot cut edges. You must kill me! Nietzsche sought help from his blood relatives who were watching. shit! Shoot them all! In an unexpected huge variable, even blood relatives joined. Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Cerberus''s mouth erupted in flames. I''m in charge of the size. Thor stretched his muscles as if he was waiting. Whoops... ! Thunder roared, and blue lightning flashed out in all directions. KwaKwaKwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa! An unimaginable storm swept towards Cerberus'' face. Boom! One of Cerberus'' heads turned back. However, he didn''t die. Although it was shocked, it still exuded life with its teeth exposed. Aww! It''s pretty solid. It could be like Fenrir''s Flame Infusion version. This is the battle of the divinities. It is a battle between those who have the power to destroy a world if they put their mind to it. If you just remove the boss anyway, it''ll be over. Loki, who had severed blood in an instant, approached Nietzsche''s nose. By the way. Boo Woong! Just before Loki''s sword touched his heart. [The existence of divinities in Northern Europe is known.] [The existence of the demon world responds to this.] Another status window dyed red appeared. Standing tall. Loki''s hand stopped for the first time. By the hand of a woman with black hair as thick as jet black. Oh my. Your hand''s going through it. You !? This man is our master''s dear servant. It means that you are not someone you can take care of. Another giant appeared this time. In fact, I was expecting it to crash once, even because of the copy conditions. ''demon world'' The worst group of demon Kings and Demon Clans. You can think of it as a gathering place for garbage that considers the despair and death of others as play. kukuku kuk kuk! Dark clouds fell in the air, and red eyes appeared. [The demon world''s divinity looks at his apostle.] Wow, I see the Great One. Nietzsche''s complexion completely changed. The figure that had been spared until now is nowhere to be seen. There are only weak human beings who struggle to avoid the abuse of the higher beings who made a contract with them. Were you a human being sponsored by the Demon Clan...? It''s not just Demon Clan. I''m feeling the mana equivalent to the Demon King level. Loki and Thor ate bitterly. Before Shub Niguras appeared, I came here lightly with the intention of stealing Jinhyuk. I was involved in a much bigger battle than I expected. [[Demon King ''Hesimodium'' is Lv???] Activate ''Dark Hall''!] An ominous mana that seemed to stop breathing was wrapped around her body. At a moment where it could be said that they were almost simultaneous. Kie-ee! Aww! blah blah blah . As the ground cracked, a huge number of demonic beasts began to climb up. Thor and Loki fought like crazy with the beasts. So, a new transition. "Now I can take a breather. To be honest, I was surprised. I never thought that divinities would show so much interest ." Nietzsche, who regained his composure, looked at Jinhyuk and Cheon Yooseong. "But, I can no longer get that help." As long as her abilities were still sealed, it was Nietzsche''s side that the goddess of victory smiled. kwaaang! A purple blade struck the front of Cheonyuseong. ! Although he managed to block it, his arms trembled as he attacked with demonic energy. once. bang! twice. KwaKwang! Cheon Yu-seong''s attitude suddenly collapsed with the increasing number of attacks. Jinhyuk is also in a hurry to avoid it. I didn''t even dare to fight back properly. A little bit now. Just a few more times. That''s it! That was when Nietzsche put the two of them in a corner. Uh-huh... Now I''ve mastered the persimmons. You can start. Cheon Yu-seong grabbed the sword with both hands. I''m glad. If it had been a little later, it would have been over. Jinhyuk also took out his twin dragon swords from beyond the subspace. What? Are you going to come and fight? things that aren''t even funny. Nietzsche lightly dodged the sword of the heavenly planet that crossed the air. Do you think that you can inflict even the smallest of wounds on me with an attack that is nothing more than a dance! Yes. In other words, this is just an imitation. The description of skill. The sophistication of abilities is not included. so that. There is no way that the sword that the two of them are spreading now has any kind of natural power. However. Pants... ! A faint blue light flickered along the tip of the sword. Experience accumulated by imitating thousands and tens of thousands of times. Even if you don''t rely on skills or unique abilities. the body remembers that formula. And. its shape. More than anything. In the past, the two swords created by fighting countless times. Tsutsu! Woah, what! The sword and the sword began to sing. the air... change At the same time. [Special condition met!] [''False Battleground Selection'' is triggered!] [''Players'' World'' unfolds!] A new image has arrived. CH 335 dark spirit Changes in the image world. The ability to break existing laws and make the caster choose a battlefield that is favorable to the caster is quite rare even in the Tower of Trials. much less. "...! It''s absurd. You mean that you embody a power comparable to skill simply by imitating it?" An earthquake struck Nietzsche''s pupil. So far, it is nihilism that has exerted an overwhelming effect not only on players but also on residents. Wasn''t it his ability to make even Hysynth and Excension flinch? However. all those convictions. is collapsing starting from this moment. [The world of players is unfolding.] Pants... . The huge royal palace, which was lined with columns, disappeared. A familiar scene appeared in its place. in the corridors of the fallen. The place where we first fought over ''Frozen Tears''. It is the place where the Tower of Trials appeared in reality and the two met their swords for the first time. Jinhyuk looked around for a moment. Cheon Yoo-seong also kept his lips straight, as if contemplating the past. Of course, it was only for a short time. "You have to do it once. Never twice." Since ''battlefield selection'' was forcibly activated, I felt a serious strain on my body. Throb! Throb! Throb! Blood vessels burn and lips dry out. Overloaded muscles and bones seemed to scream. only about a minute or so. That would be the limit at which this world could be sustained. "Don''t worry. Even if you don''t say that, I''m going to finish it in one hit." Cheon Yoosung held out his sword in front of him. at the same time. Jinhyuk also drew his sword softly. [Unique ability .] Two swords... . [Unique ability .] leads to one [The false ''Sword Song'' is activated.] Two different players. Of course, the two are perfect strangers with no contact points. However. Chuhon Sword Dance (׷ꄦ). Blurred tip of the sword. without mana. without the ability. The 11th ceremony (ʮʽ). The expression is implemented. As if, of course, it should be. A very natural line has come to an end. Two Swords One Hap (պ). These are the two swords. They are the strongest rivals and because they know each other''s swords better than anyone else, they can create them. It is an extreme that transcends the system. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Two swords crossed. The remnants of the sword have completely disappeared. "This is ridiculous... it can''t be like this. How could this..." Nietzsche shouted and activated the shield one after another. however. The multiple-layered shield made with black magic was shattered the moment it touched the sword. Scratch! Even the space was cut out. Chi profit! Thick smoke billowed down the ground. Because a very powerful single sword was used, even the image world created by selecting the battlefield could not withstand the shock properly. right then T-tiring! [warning! There was a huge impact on the players'' bodies.] [''Battlefield Selection'' will disappear.] [All imperfect abilities disappear.] Whoops! kwaduduk . Cracks appeared in the air, and the landscape shattered like shards of glass. The image world that had been holding on to the end was finally over. "Heh heh, heh heh, heh heh." "Whoa..." Only the harsh breathing seemed to tell how hard the battle had just been. However. "Sheesh..." Cheon Yoosung clicked his tongue with an irritated face. no feeling Of course, the heavy taste that should be passed on to the hand. "At that moment it was offset." Jinhyuk also frowned. At the last moment, something stood in the way between Nietzsche and the sword strike. The shield was cut, but failed to cut the most important party. Nietzsche is still alive as if to prove it. "It''s quite well. To be honest, this was dangerous for me as well. Nietzsche walked out of the smoke. A clean look with no wounds. And next to it... . "Kick-kick. I blocked it. I blocked it. Did you do well, huh?" There was something surrounded by dark gas. yellow and blue. Creatures with different eyes grew taller and taller. ''That''s... .'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. It is not an ordinary monster or summoned beast. Jung-Soo. It is also not a spirit included in the 5 major attributes, but a spirit with dark attributes. this , another great thing popped up. ''It''s getting more and more chubby.'' I''m sure you''ll come across such an annoying enemy at a time like this. Because he poured everything out, he didn''t even have the strength to lift a finger. I couldn''t even ask for help from others. Loki and Thor were also busy dealing with the high-ranking Demon Clan and the numerous demons that followed her. Needless to say, Elise. "Damn it. Is there something that can''t be sharpened?" "...I''m sorry, but not right now." Jinhyuk quietly crossed his head. "As far as you can tell. It''s really the worst." The fact that Jinhyuk, who has always acted sly and came up with countermeasures, reacts like this... . This means the odds are close to 0%. "I can finally see the despair on your face." A sly smile crept onto Nietzsche''s lips. Nietzsche had reached the limit as well, but as long as there is enough power left to move the spirits, it doesn''t matter. After all, it was up to the Spirit to deliver the final blow. "I''ll have to watch them rot all over. If possible, start with your hands or toes and drag them for a long time." "Kick-kick! Yeah. Okay. I''ll kill you as painfully as possible." [The Forgotten Elemental Spirit ''Blackness'' activates the ''Lash of the Dead''!] Long whips appeared on either side of the aircraft. Pants Chun! Black sparks bounced in all directions. It looks like the soil is burning. 4th floor of the tower. This ability has an effect similar to the ''Black Death'' used by Pendariel. The fact that the skin rots just by touching it is very difficult in the current situation where the ability is sealed. Not even one should be allowed. Whoops. Jinhyeok and Cheon Yoosung took a pose respectively. come. "It''s yours!" Boo woo... kwaang! "!" Cheon Yu-seong, who received the first attack, managed to deflect the attack. It''s incredibly fast and loaded with weight, so it''s not easy to get it. It''s a shame because the Hwamu Plum Blossom Sword was a recruit of the Volcano Sect. If it had been a normal sword, it would have been engulfed by that ominous energy. "Kick-kick! How''s that? Do you want to stop this too? This too? This?" bang! kwaang! Bang! Bang! A whip that roars like a storm. Cheon Yu-seong broke out in a cold sweat and flew back and forth. And aim for a gap in which Cheon Yu-seong frantically defends. fault! Jinhyuk flew forward. The speed was embarrassing enough to narrow the distance, but . Got the timing right. Because the two whips overlapped and dug precisely into the square. The fact that Wol-young was paying attention to the way Wol-young was moving through the usual shading also showed its light. But. Kwok! The third whip gripped the fangs tightly. Even the surprise attack that I thought was perfect turned to nothing. "Kick-kick! Did you say that it was also a surprise? At least it was just the two of us, so I was looking forward to it. This is a total disappointment. Yeah. Yeah." With that, even the last hope was lost. kwaang! "Aww!" Cheon Yu-seong once again rolled around on the dirt floor. Did you fail to let the weight go? In one hit, the right shoulder blade was shattered. "One guy ended up with this. The next one..." Blackness''s gaze turned to Jinhyuk. kwaaang! The whip struck the twin dragon swords. "...!" The realm of response based on prediction and experience, rather than seeing and responding. Jinhyuk swung his sword, squeezing out his last remaining strength. of course. It''s just pointless resistance. No matter how great their mental strength, it was impossible to overcome the physical limit. "Now I''m going to finish both of them." Blackness giggled and gathered mana. I wondered if the whips would soar high in the sky all at once. Soon, they rushed towards Jinhyuk and Cheon Yuseong. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The two of them, who had become devastated, could no longer afford to escape. But at that very moment. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Several gates began to appear in front of me. "What else is this?" Nietzsche, who was confident of victory, responded to the unexpected surprise. I can''t help but be confused There was no reason for the gate to appear in this situation. [Many spirits respond to the master''s crisis.] mana is not connected. Without the supply of mana, of course, the spirits also had no reason to come to this world. Because for them, a contract was nothing more than experiencing a new world through mana. nevertheless. The gate was fiercely increasing its light. It''s like being freed right away. right at that moment. Someone appeared through the gate. "How dare you where are you going to touch those dirty hands?" The first thing that appeared out of the gate was the water spirit. It was Undine. The small and cute figure is gone. A woman with a perfect adult body stretched her slender fingers forward. kukuku kuk kook! Dozens of water droplets swirled like crazy, revealing hostility to Nietzsche and Blackness, who touched Jinhyuk. The terrifying energy is not simply because the mana in the water drops is strong. Anger at those who hurt Jinhyuk. Only that one emotion dominates. "The owner we will protect it." "Aww!" Sylphid, who manifested two pairs of wings, and Salamander, whose whole body was covered in red scales, used different types of magic. Let the wind hit the flame. Whew! A fever like hellfire raged. "Oooh!" "Everyone, be quiet. My head hurts." Five attributes of magic were used at the same time. "Even the spirit lords can''t make contracts with these many spirit beasts. How much more... to make the main body come directly. You bastard. Nietzsche shouted with a blood stick around his neck. A variable that comes every moment you are sure of victory. They were absurd enough to change the whole world one by one. Now I don''t know what It was a situation where all the things that I was confident of killing myself were going against each other. ''no matter how Even if Blackness is the most powerful of the elemental elements. It''s not enough to fight the body.'' However, there is no way Blackness will come to the body. This is because this relationship was purely faithful to the contract itself. then . "Tristan. Melena!" Nietzsche shouted at the two who were waiting a little far away. If the two demons give them time, they should be able to escape. The only way was to reorganize and fight once again. However. The two men who received the order did nothing. "What are you doing? Without fighting those guys!" Nietzsche urged him, but the reaction he returned was cold. "I''m sorry." "I''m sorry, but your orders aren''t top priority." "If my order, the leader of the demons, is not our priority, then whose order is the priority!" Nietzsche''s shouting. "That''s me, of course." Jinhyuk brushed off the dust and came forward. CH 336 Liberation (1) "You betrayed me...?" Nietzsche murmured in disbelief. The two must have had a bad relationship with Jinhyuk. They were never meant to be together. so that. For Nietzsche, the situation now had no choice but to be dismayed. "Sorry. I had to stick to the stronger side to survive. That''s what I was thinking of." "Don''t be too sad. We''ve always been driven by our interests." Melena, who had already been with Jinhyuk for a long time, and Tristan, who joined later, shrugged as if it was natural. Even if it''s not because of the stigma of the soul. When it comes to muddy fights, they were two people who knew which side had an advantage. Whether it''s the leader of the demons. Even the great pure-blood Jinjos. Does not matter. Because the last one to survive has already been decided. "Dare you these things hit the back of my head? I must have forgotten how terrifying this body is. I can make both of them rot alive and rotten." "Hmm. Isn''t it funny if someone who was trying to run away without a tail would say something like that?" This time, Jinhyuk intervened in Nietzsche''s silly threats. "you !" "Ah. Don''t be angry. If you come and blush ugly now, your blood pressure will only rise. Even if you die, you will have to die by my sword. Doesn''t the head of Myungsaekyi Majin want to go to high blood pressure?" Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders with a smirk. Then Nietzsche''s face contorted even worse. "Cute! Do you think I''m going to be beaten by you!" "Yeah. I think so. Even if I don''t, I''m going to show you what an old man attack is." Nietzsche''s mana is being used to the limit to maintain blackness. This is enough, even if the ability is sealed due to nihilism, it is worth trying. But, only one thing. There was a gate that had to be crossed to achieve the copy condition. ''I should have removed the Demon King attached to him... .'' 7th place in the demon world. Hesimodium. One of the 10 Demon Kings in the demon world, currently sponsoring Nietzsche. If he doesn''t give up on Nietzsche until the very end and helps him, things can get in trouble. then. ''I can only help you realize that throwing away is better than sponsoring.'' Jinhyuk provoked the opponent more aggressively. "I was curious about how confident he was even though he signed a contract with one of the weakest and mediocre Demon Kings. I heard a bit about it, but was Hesimodium the last among the 10 Demon Kings? It seems to me..." Then at that very moment. [The demon world''s divinity is greatly enraged!] [Special ability ''Partial Reincarnation'' is activated!] kukuku kuk kook! "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Nietzsche''s eyes were covered with whites. There was blood foam in his mouth. Thick veins twitched violently on the skin. My whole body trembled like an aspen. Nietzsche is no longer Nietzsche. The spirit of the Demon King already resides in that body. To be precise, it should be said that it is close to possession through a medium, not the manifestation of the body. The screams filled with pain, which had continued for a long time, disappeared like a lie after a certain moment. "Ugh... I don''t always like what''s inside a human shell." Hesimodium looked at his hands and feet with dry eyes. But it was only for a short time. "This body made me feel uncomfortable, so I won''t be able to die comfortably." Red liquid dripped from his long, grown nails. Naturally, it is a monster that cannot be defeated even if it is in the best condition. of course. This one is also thinking about it. "Beriel. I know everything you''re looking at. Why don''t you just pretend you know?" Jinhyuk quietly opened his mouth. OK. [Hmm. okay. what are you watching Things are getting pretty interesting, so I''m just fetching wine from my personal shed for a while.] As if waiting, a reaction appeared. Anyway, this guy has a good age. I''m gambling with the rest of my life. kukuku kuk kook! Jinhyuk looked at Hesimodium, which was emitting black energy from his whole body. It is truly a terribly ignorant demonic energy. [If you do this, you will die.] "Yeah, I guess." Even if they borrowed Nietzsche''s body, the opponent was the Demon King. As long as his abilities are sealed, he will die instantly with just one gesture. "So, shouldn''t I have a strong supporter to protect me?" Jinhyuk glanced at the air. [Oh. should i help? Why?] Why? That''s it... . "If you are stronger than Hesimodium, there is no reason to avoid this fight. Oh, of course, if you are pushed out of the ranks you may not fight." [So. If I don''t help, I''m afraid I won''t even make eye contact because I''m inferior to that idiot Demon King. After all, isn''t it that I am the most cowardly and weakest person in the demon world?] Well . I didn''t say it that far. The intention seems to have been conveyed properly. "Anyway, while fighting that guy today, I felt once again how good a job the Black Apostle is. It makes me think that the 3rd job change wouldn''t be bad if it was not a barrier company, but something else." [Within four would you like to help? He, is that really true?] "Yeah. I don''t think so." [really? Can I swear by those words?] "You don''t believe me?" [You have to give me faith to believe it! As if I was just looking at it like I''ve been doing it many times before!] "I''ll put a collateral this time. What do you think of that guy over there?" Jinhyuk''s fingertips turned to Cheon Yoosung. [Swordsmanship is also quite good. I don''t have a problem with my hands. You seem to fit well with us in many ways.] Beliel nodded. It was a look that I liked quite a bit. great. caught "That''s right. As you can see, he''s a pretty smart kid. Of course, if he changes his job to a Black Apostle. Can''t he become a pretty good Demon Clan? He wins Beliel''s favor on the condition of passing the heavenly planet. [Yeah, that''s true, but... .] "Huh? He''s coming. Hurry up. We don''t have time any more! If I die, buying it or anything else is meaningless." Jinhyuk hurriedly pointed to Hesimodium. There seemed to be less than a few seconds of time remaining, as if he was about to run away at any moment. finally. [Damn it. I get it. I''ll help you first. Don''t forget your appointment later.] Beriel came out. Moment. creepy There was a chill that was so cold that it gave me goosebumps. Pachi rule! A silver-haired man appeared as he ripped the space with flashy sparks. Aaaaaaaaaaah! Red nails were blocked in the air. no. Rather, Hesimodium, who had attacked, could not withstand the shock and retreated back. "Be... Riel?" Hesimodium''s pupils shook rapidly. It is not a partial manifestation through possession. Direct descent of the body. It was also moved directly by the Demon King, which corresponds to the highest divinity. "I just sacrificed 100,000 pyeong of forest and 3 castles in my estate." choice is forced. He has already made an investment that he cannot back down... . "This man is my apostle. So go away." Fight until either side is destroyed. Or don''t curl your tail. "Shit." Hisinth bit his fangs to break them. I thought Nietzsche and others would still do their job well. "Those idiots are of no help." In particular, as the Nordic divinities and the Demon King suddenly appeared, the tide turned completely. But the biggest problem is . The point is that the enemies you face in front of you are much more difficult than expected. Puff puff pop! Whoops! A thunderstorm made by lightning raged over and over again, but Elise narrowed the distance without blinking an eye. Clearly, it is far short of its heyday. But why? Why does it feel more difficult than it was then? [Hisynth activates ''bastness lightning''!] A blue lightning flashed through the spear he was holding. At the same time, an invisible stab was detonated. Paang! The tip of the spear disappeared, causing a sonic boom. However. Kaga Gaga! Like lightning, Elise pulled out the rapier from her waist and changed the orbit of the spear. The deviated spear was nailed to the ground. Hisinth''s eyebrows curve backwards. "...when did you start using the rapier?" "I learned it a while ago." "How long ago did you learn that? Maybe from that person?" " " Alice neither affirmed nor denied. "I hope it was true." The headmaster of Ataraxia who had such a high and lofty stature. Did you learn something from mere humans? If I told anyone else, I would never have believed it. It was because he changed his belief that he would never use a weapon under any circumstances. "What the hell is that guy doing that? It''s not just a rapier. You know? No matter how much you fight against beings on the 50th floor, it''s hard to guarantee your life, right?" so that. I had no choice but to ask. What kind of existence as Jinhyuk Kang is to Alice. And whether it''s worth it. Alice''s red lips slowly opened up. "The person who made it possible to live again." A precious person who gave new hope to himself who had given up everything and waited for him to die. The person who gave me a reason to live a new life after a long nightmare. "It doesn''t matter what comes to the 50th floor." If you die... It doesn''t matter though. Even if it becomes a handful of ashes and disappears, it''s okay. If we could be together until the last moment... . Because that was enough. ''Ataraxia''. The rapier drew 7 circles. The drawn circles were gradually cut away, and they began to change into colorful patterns. "A red a red rose?" Hisinth stared blankly at the drawn roses. one song one song. Roses blooming along the air created a breathtaking sight. [''Blood Rose'' is activated!] This is her own formula that Alice first created. It is a new wave that symbolizes Ataraxia. "Did you think that you could deal with me with something impatient?" Hysynth swung his spear against him. The spear was divided into dozens, leaving a remnant. No matter how absurd it seems. All expressions must be supported by a certain amount of experience and years. It''s not just something that can be completed overnight! sword and spear. The expression created by the two arms stretched forward. and. The moment when two eclipses collide. Pagak! The tip of his spear became powder and began to scatter. "Ah ." A sense of emptiness and hopelessness permeated the brief sigh. An area of overwhelming talent that requires neither effort nor experience. The strongest housekeeper who crushed all the headmasters. Jinjo. Alice von Ataraxia. Over time, it was forgotten. What an absurd monster that existence is. CH 337 Liberation (2) Scratch! With a terrifying shattering sound, Hysynth''s body slowly collapsed. "Ah ." There was no pain. Because the current blow wasn''t blunt enough to feel that way. kuung! The fight ended with the body touching the ground. " " Alice looked at Hysynth with dry eyes. three with this The third lead singer for revenge has disappeared. As Hysynth died, another wind arose on the battlefield. Aww! The bodies of the three beasts that were running at once with Thor''s fist exploded like firecrackers. "Aww!" "Keeek!" blow. The word ignorant is the destructive power that comes out of nowhere. Thor, who was drenched in blood, broke his joints as if excited. "It''s not bad because they''re from the demon world. But, you picked the wrong opponent." The more you fight, the less tired you get. On the contrary, as if his body was getting better now, his momentum began to run wildly. And in that cruelty . Even the beasts who knew no fear whined with their tails splayed. "Stop killing the little dwarfs, let''s end it quickly. That''s over already." Loki tapped Thor''s shoulder. "Hmm. The decision was made sooner than I thought. Is there such a thing as a grade among the heads of state?" "That''s right. If I can convince Kang Jin-hyeok, I''ll be able to bring that Jin-jo along too. It''s going to be a surplus business." The two divinities were even more convinced that they needed to sign Jinhyuk. After coming here, I had to deal with huge forces including the demon world and vampires, but it was because Jinhyuk''s charm was so great that it was good enough. ''It might be possible with that guy.'' ''I can feed the Greeks a shot.'' A small spark lit up in the eyes of the two divinities. Boo woo... . Kaka Kaka Kang! Numerous sword strikes crossed. Nietzsche No, Hesimodium swung his arms like crazy. However, with each minute and second passing, the charter was visibly tilting. It''s a matter of course. Even if they fight under the same conditions in the first place, they are pushed out of the ranks. Even less, a half-incarnation borrowed from a human body could not even be an opponent at all. "Beriel! You idiot. Are you going to blow up your territory for this shit? You''ll definitely regret it!" He had been looking for a way to unlock the seal using demons for a free manifestation without restrictions. Because of that, Beriel had to make such a huge sacrifice. Hesimodium did not understand at all. "Whether I sell the castle or give away the treasure, that is my heart. If you feel unfair, you will burn everything you have." "Wow!" Hesimodium bit his molars. If it goes like this, it''s just a matter of time. Since it was in a state of being imbued with the soul, if the body collapsed, even the Demon King, no matter how badly it was, must have suffered a serious blow. finally. [Hesimodium unlocks ''Partial Incarnation''!] [The members of the demon world retreat to their realm!] There is only one way to survive. Hesimodium and the higher nobles who followed him disappeared into the demon world. "Still, he''s a guy who understands the subject." Beliel shrugged. "Thank you. Thanks for making things easier." "Okay. Keep your promise. This time, there was really a lot of bleeding." "Well, I''ll try. I''ll try." All that was left was Nietzsche, which had been abandoned in the place where Hesimodium had left. He still has his mouth wide open with a puzzled face. It seems you don''t really understand what''s going on right now. Since the being worshiped and worshiped as a god has been defeated, of course, I can''t help but be embarrassed. right then T-tiring! [You succeeded in copying the unique ability ''Nihilism''.] [Nihilism - Green Rating] Acquisition Difficulty: SS Description: You can seal the unique abilities and skills of enemies around the caster. However, to use nihilism, very high understanding and delicate control are required, and when used in conjunction with other skills, it can cause fatal damage to the body.] An unexpected green grade! great. The corner of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. ''I got this too.'' You defeated Nietzsche while your unique abilities and skills were sealed. The Demon King made himself abandon his Apostle. It was not easy to achieve the two conditions, but the goal was achieved. ''It must take time to use it freely in conjunction with skills like Nietzsche.'' It wasn''t that he didn''t use this ability in the past, but it wasn''t his main focus. Because the opposite side was also not easy. Of course, there is no reason to rush. It''s a skill, because it''s okay to master it slowly over time. More importantly... . He said that he had to squeeze the last sweet water from the hunting dog abandoned by his master. Jinhyuk approached Nietzsche. "Uh..." Nietzsche''s eyes met and his body trembled thinly. There was no more will to resist. The confident look had completely disappeared. "I have a few questions for you. If you tell me honestly, I won''t take your life." "Um, what are you curious about?" "You still have strong strength in your tongue. Let''s change that tone of voice first." "Ahhhhhh!" As the primordial flames appeared, a terrible pain was felt in Nietzsche''s shoulder. "If you still think that you are the head of the demons, you are greatly mistaken. You know?" "Uh, don''t ask me anything if you tell me, I''ll answer " The attitude became more docile. This will make the conversation easier. "The Crown of Pure Blood." A heavy name came out of Jinhyuk''s mouth. "that ." "Why? Don''t you want to answer me? Didn''t you tell me earlier? I still don''t have enough fire massage." Whoops! A fiercer flame erupted. "Wait! Wait! It''s not that I hate to answer. I can tell you how to find the crown, but it''s not in my hands to get it. That''s why I''ve been sparing my talk." "Issu, it''s a matter that I have to deal with on my own. Tell me what you know." When Jinhyuk urged, Nietzsche reluctantly opened his mouth. "A crest possessed by one of the chieftains, Axencion. That''s the key to finding the crown." After all, did the Axencion hold the clue... . Come to think of it. "Where is he, he''s not joining the battle?" Exencion is not visible. It''s not even preparing a plot for a reversal. Because the battle is already over. "I, I don''t even know about that." Did the squirrel-like bastard notice something? Jinhyeok bit his taste buds. I thought I solved everything perfectly. The most important one for Elise''s revenge has escaped. It also holds the key to the Crown of Pureblood. "If you know everything you want to know, then I... can I just go for it?" "Of course, you''re free to go. At least I said I wouldn''t touch it." but. I didn''t mean to stop anyone from doing anything. Jinhyuk took a step back. Whoops. Melena and Tristan stepped forward as if they had been waiting. A long whip and a sharp sword each gave off their anticipation. "You guys. What are you going to do now?" "After-treatment is always neat." "It was the principle you taught us not to leave behind." I don''t know what I''d do if I left it like this. As long as there was contact with the Demon King, it was this man who could hit the back of the head at any time. "No no ." Nietzsche reached out, but the two had already made up their minds. Whoops! ???????????????????????????? The sword and whip moved at the same time, and the leader who led the Magic Association finally died. Now the really big things have come to an end. But, right then. Whoops! There was a sound as if the heavens were being split apart. [The gate is freed!] [Shub Niguras appears outside the tower.] Everything was stained with blood. primordial existence. They are the strongest inhabitants of the Tower of Trials, capable of destroying an opponent''s mind just by confronting them. And ''Shub Niguras'', one of the top ones, finally started to manifest. "Keiei..." Throb! Tick thump! Despite being hundreds of kilometers away, its wavelength was beyond imagination. Because the stinging mana stabbed the skin just by simply opening the gate. What an ignorant mana you have... . can''t even measure "It''s a little too dangerous." Beliel swallowed dry saliva. No matter how much the Demon King is, it is not enough for the beings on the 50th floor. Those who were defeated by them in the first place and pushed to the lower floors of the tower were the justice of the inhabitants. "Isn''t there still time? The association said that we should attack this place before the gates open... Why the hell?!" Cheon Yoo-sung also raised his voice. Did Axencion give something excellent grade? Or Hasting, the senior manager? Or maybe someone else intervened. However, there is no point in finding the cause in the current situation. The realm of response, not contrast. From now on, you must come up with the best number. Jinhyuk''s head turned rapidly. By now, the things I asked for Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min should have been completed. If you adjust the timing and follow your luck... maybe . Damn it. Is it really possible? I''m not quite ready yet. It was when Jinhyuk was thinking all kinds of things. "Kang Jinhyuk." Loki, who came to the side all of a sudden, called Jinhyuk. "Ah. I''ve been indebted to you in many ways. I want to say thank you, but the timing is really bad." "Yeah. It''s the worst situation to praise each other''s majors. So..." Loki proceeded cautiously. "I know you''re attached to this world. But, there''s no hope as long as it pops out." A disaster that even divinities cannot help. There is nothing a player can do against such an absolute being. It just means that you have to adapt as if you were embracing a natural disaster. "Come with us. Even if it''s not here, I can make a place for you to live inside the tower. I''ll take care of you so that you can enjoy all the things of Valhalla and our mythology. Let''s just give up on this place." This kind of caring To alleviate the guilt of those who have to make that choice out of only one option anyway. ''Yeah, maybe that''s right. After all, Shub Niguras will return to his original place if he satisfies his curiosity.'' But. I don''t want to give up. It is not because of the grand purpose of saving all people and protecting mankind. only. "If you''re afraid of a challenge like this, you''ll probably not be able to sleep with your legs stretched out in front of you." "Only? You don''t seem to know what your opponent is... The one who comes over now is the top..." "I know." He knows the primordial existence better than anyone here. have been fighting them defeated I finally saw the top of the tower. "There are still things I can try. The probability is slim, but if it were me it is possible." All abilities have already returned. [Read ''Memories of the World''] Beyond the countless bookshelves. Jinhyuk prepared for the final fight. CH 338 Liberation (3) Korea Awakened Association. This place is currently in a state of panic due to an unexpected variable. I had no choice but to do so. All efforts to stop the gate before it was liberated were in vain. Whoops! The interior has turned into a chaos. It was virtually impossible to organize the frantic reports and various situations. "All safety devices have been destroyed. Crab, the gate... is released!" At someone''s cry, everyone''s eyes turned to the huge screen in the center. "Unbelievable ." Han Sang-jin, the president of the association, also stared blankly at the open gate. Simultaneous outbreaks across the globe were already going out of control. "Kee-e-e-e!" As many mouthed branches come out completely out of the gate... . A natural disaster like hell has begun. "Ahhhhhh!" "Aaaaah!" "My, my eyes! My my eyes!" "Ahhhhhhh!" Outside the gate, the players who were preparing for an emergency screamed. They fall, bleeding from their eyes and mouth. Dozens of mental defense magic and even the best armor did not help. There were also rankers who managed to survive, but that was all. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! As the branches swept around, a haze of red blood arose. One light movement. The rankers who had gone through all the battles before birth were annihilated. The military units, which were encircling the gate, were scattered as ashes without even making a proper resistance. As a result of the disastrous outcome, the Awakening Association control offices in each country became even busier. "It is said that the bioreaction of Team 3 of the Olympus Guild, which went to the C-15 gate in Paris, has disappeared." "Around A-01 Gate in Washington, USA 1km has been destroyed. There are no survivors." "Emergency SOS signal was also detected from the Gandhara Guild, which went to China for aid!" Reports popping up all over the place. However. The biggest problem is that it hasn''t even started yet. Everything that has been passed so far has been just branches. It is still unknown which gate the body will come out through. right then "Bar, I just caught a new mana reaction." Another report came. Not the branches, but where the most powerful mana spouts. "B-00. This is the Gapcheon Gate..." The worst has happened. The place where the body manifests itself is Korea. " " Han Sang-jin pursed her lips. Only 10 minutes left. A silence as heavy as the deep sea lingered in the room. "Through space movement magic evacuate everyone. Withdraw the military units as well." "Yes? Ha, but..." "Anyway, no matter how many there are, it''s useless. It''s only increasing the corpses." At first, I thought I didn''t know. Maybe humanity can fight and survive. If so many rankers and players are fully prepared, it might be possible. But when he tasted the fragment of mana that came from the body of Shubniguras. I realized that all my hopes were in vain. This isn''t the level of how to fight. No matter how large the guild''s raid. Even if I''m a ranker who is called me . This situation could not be reversed. nevertheless. only, only one. If there''s a single chance left... .''Kang Jinhyuk player.'' It was probably in the hands of only one person. Han Sang-jin''s gaze turned to the screen once again. Obviously, all players will be on the island that appears in the East Sea. There will be no time to come back in this short time. But why? Han Sang-jin still couldn''t take his eyes off the screen. As if believing that someone would appear on the screen. [The gate is open!] All the chains surrounding the gate were smashed. Beyond the completely open space. " " Shub Niguras looked at the world. Blue sky and river. An endless city center. This is the world of humans outside the tower. And the reason I came here . boredom. Yes. To put it bluntly, that''s probably why. Because it was here that the petty creatures repulsed the black goat. kukuku kuk kook! A terrible mana flowed out of the gate. Just by touching it, the grass will burn black and the river water will dry up. Unimaginable abyss. If there is an end to the curse, this is what I am talking about. However. "...?" Something caught Shub Niguras'' eyes. In the empty city center where everyone has already run away. Several people were waiting for them with their weapons drawn. Of course, that''s funny. No matter how constrained by the system, it was a creature that could explode and kill just by breathing lightly. However, because of trivial curiosity, there was a temporary delay in killing the opponent. "Humans. You are afraid of me. Aren''t you?" Awesome profit! Just by opening the mouth, the building''s reinforcing bars flexed like nuts. Red smoke rose through the smashed windows. "Certainly it''s huge. The term out-of-spec is not an exaggeration." "Even if you hear my voice. Keep your mind. It''s pretty good." Normally, it''s normal to go crazy or faint just by seeing them. In severe cases, death often occurred. Just being able to endure it means that he is a very good player. Besides. It was as if the guys next to him were still keeping their minds. My interest grew a little. These people are worth soothing the boredom they have felt for aeons of time. "Your. Name. I will ask." Shub Niguras'' gaze turned to each person. "Kang Jinhyuk." "It''s heavenly." "It''s Teresa." "The sword that serves the master. This is Wolyeong." "This is Andria." "I am the proud head of Ataraxia and pureblood... Elise Pawn! Eupeup!" "The main seat is the Dark Hwang. It is the friendship law of Heavenly Demon Protestantism." In front of Shub Niguras, each of them uttered a single word. total seven. Although the numbers are small, they are all the strongest powers. At least for humans. "It''s fun. It''s a short game. It''s not bad." Kick Kick Kick Kick! Kie hey hey! Numerous branches burst into laughter like crazy. [Shub Niguras speaks the ''primordial language''.] With the status window dyed red. There was a gap in my memory for a moment. For only 0.1 seconds or so, it was completely defenseless. ''Mental Barrier'' and ''Mandala'' And even with the use of a 7-star barrier. "The king of the end is the king of the end, is this..." Jinhyuk managed to calm his trembling arm. To be honest, I''m almost nauseous. However . Don''t be swayed here. From now on, the battle that broke common sense will begin. "Please focus on attracting people''s attention as much as possible. The roles of Teresa and Master are particularly important here." "Leave it to me. Jinhyuk-san." "Thinking of fighting such a monster. Indeed, you are like a student taken by Bonjwa. Well, if you are unlucky, do you want to go outside Bukmangsan more? Don''t run wild on this opportunity." Teresa and the Dark Huang stepped forward. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo With ''Blessing of the Stars''. Pants! The ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong'' appeared. at the same time. kwaang! bang! Teresa and the Dark Huang moved in different directions. left and right. Huge mana exploded from both sides. Teresa''s sword with added divine power crossed it horizontally. The dark emperor''s regime, which condensed the terrifying Dou Qi, broke forth. But. Aww! Even an attack that could kill a large species in one hit did not work for Shub Niguras. As if blocked by a transparent wall. The sword and fist stopped high in the air. "Only. Is this enough?" Shub Niguras muttered as if bored. From expectation to disappointment. Emotions have changed. That was then. The air around it has changed. "come!" The Dark Emperor hurriedly shouted. And at the end of that warning. chwachwachwa chow chow chow! A sharp wind cut through the space. profit! Red steam rose from the cut air. It was breathtaking. Had it been a little late to react, it would have been split in half along with the dimension. "I mean, just by looking at you... no, you''re just making an attack with that kind of power just by thinking about it?" As if tired of Alice, she added a word. the realization of images. Like the Supreme Absolute, Shub Niguras possessed the ability to turn imagination into reality. Everyone is looking desperately, but Jinhyukman has a glimpse of hope in this situation. Avoided the most difficult and sharp first strike. This means that we can respond sufficiently in the future. "Elise." "Huh." "Prepare for the strongest attack you can make. If I give you a signal, I will aim for that moment." "...do you really want to try?" "Everyone is risking their lives, but we also have to cross a single wooden bridge. This time, I''ll give him an unforgettable shot on his face." "...I see. I''ll try." Alice nodded her head slightly. [The unique holy spear ''Apocalypse of Gaebyeok'' is activated!] A red ring appeared over Elise''s back. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo All the moisture around it turned into red blood drops. Soon after, it began to turn into a long, slender skewer. The strongest blow that poured out all the mana. If this... . Jinhyuk took out a Kruger and a plain sword. From now on, it''s a race against time. Can you hold out for a few more seconds? It will be a key factor in determining everyone''s survival. You have to buy time. You have to make a gap. With that single thought alone, Amhwang, who came to the forefront, struck Bae Sujin. kwaang! Aww! The 7-star power of the Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong made the heavens and the earth shake. However. "Kie-ee!" "Kick Kick Kick!" too many. No matter how deep the Those who used flashy footwork and divine methods... . In front of the overwhelming number, all of them only faded away. "Ugh uh !" Breathing was disrupted with a heavy shock. Dangerous. That was when I thought. [Theresa activates the second awakening skill ''Call of the Stars''!] A dazzling meteor shower fell from the sky. A strike with the power of the stars fell on Shub Niguras'' body. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a carpet bombing. Countless lights came together in one place. "I''ll support you!" Teresa, dressed in white armor, poured out all the mana. The limit had already been crossed, so it had been a long time since the blood had disappeared from his face. "Thank you." Amhwang sighed and expressed his gratitude. And immediately dig into the body of Shub Niguras. kuung! Ilbo (һ). Footsteps filled with inner strength were scattered along the ground. kuung! Yibo (). The narrowed distance is not that great. Nevertheless, the ground that began to crack seemed to tell how heavy the next step would be. thud! The third treasure () continued like that. Dou Qi, which was felt in the dark hwang''s body, disappeared. I didn''t make a mistake. The Basic Form wasn''t over either. just. Dou Qi, compressed to the limit, only permeated inside. Teresa''s meteor shower must have damaged Shub Niguras''s outer skin in any way. "This is the whole of this seat." The dark emperor''s regime crossed the air. CH 339 Liberation (4) KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! the most powerful government. The ground around it was all turned upside down, and a single ray of light pierced the sky. The Basic Form, which can be called the essence of the Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong, marked the end. As if a meteor shower had collided. Dust from the soil obscured the air. But. " Hmm." A heavy moan came out of the dark hwang''s mouth. Obviously, I thought everything was perfect, but... . Throb! Why? Rather than feeling pain in the fist that attacked. ''Is it broken? .'' Thousands of mouthed branches were smashed, but as soon as a fist touched the body, everything went awry. hard. To the extent that it can''t even be compared to the end of the year. No matter how much internal work was poured into it, the thought that I could break this outer skin didn''t even come close to my fingernails. "Human. Still, it wasn''t bad for bugs." Shub Niguras moved his body lightly. OK. kwaaang! with a roar. The dark yellow body disappeared on the spot. kukuku bang! kwaang! KwaKwaKwabang! "Gagging!" Buildings crumbled like toothpicks, and the body of the black-huang, which had been thrown away, crossed the city. I have no idea how far it flew. "!" Seeing the absurd blow, Teresa hurriedly raised the ''Call of the Stars''. Countless star clusters fell to the ground again. "Are you a female human who can handle the divine power this time? It''s trivial. Too trivial." Shub Niguras looked over his head. kick kick! Kick Kick Kick! A purple magic circle appeared from the branches'' mouths. And that moment. "Unbelievable." There was an earthquake in Teresa''s pupil. has disappeared. Meteors evaporated from the sky as if they did not exist in the first place. "Only. With such a small amount of divine power. Are you trying to purify me?" [Shub Niguras activates ''Primal Language''!] Totally different from Teresa''s divine power. A dazzling brilliance was formed that caused a shiver. "This. So-called. The divine power you guys are talking about..." KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! "Ah ." A short sigh escaped Teresa''s mouth. I couldn''t help but despair. Because everything he had built up until now was denied. at the same time. A huge beam of light hit the place where Teresa was standing. If you hit that one... . can never survive [Theresa triggers ''Corruption''!] Theresa burned the remaining mana. The armor that was white as snow was dyed black. The holy energy was bewitchingly polluted. "You idiot Sunding! What are you going to do if you suddenly call someone like that!" The corrupted version of Teresa screamed as she saw the light approaching her nose. Although there were many cases in which the existing personality often called out to him at an unreasonable time. It was the first time such an absurd situation had ever happened. "Mi, I''m sorry." "Okay! What more can you expect from an idiot who can''t even say a word to the guy he likes!" The bizarre appearance of the same person yelling and apologizing in different voices was created. Fortunately, all stats have risen dramatically because of the use of Corruption. If it''s now, maybe I can get through it. kukukuku! Teresa held the sword filled with dark red energy in both hands. "Goes!" And cut it crosswise towards the approaching light. A clash of two great powers. Chi profit! The topography of the city center was completely changed just by the power of the poles. "Ha ha... ha ha... ha ha..." Teresa looked down at the raged armor. Fortunately, he succeeded in deflecting the attack, but it was impossible to continue the battle. This is because all the mana in the body has been depleted. The overwhelming ability to completely break the conventional wisdom. This is the power of divinity that exists on the 50th floor. ''After all, even the seeds don''t work with anything.'' Jinhyuk bit his molars. I didn''t expect Master and Teresa to collapse so futilely. I thought it would hold up for at least a minute... . In this case, even the unique Holy Spear state strike that Elise is preparing for may not work. It was when Jinhyuk was thinking of numerous cases. "Master! It''s dangerous!" Wolyeong''s urgent screams penetrated the eardrums. Shub Niguras, who was looking for a new prey, was heading towards Jinhyuk. As the gigantic body moved, the buildings began to collapse on Ururu. Wol-yeong, who activated the shadow kill, stood in front of Jin-hyeok and spread the sword. Scratch! The swords moved back and forth and scrambled across the air. The concrete fragments falling towards Jinhyuk were cut into small pieces. "What the hell are you doing! If you stand still, you''ll all die! If you need to earn time, just tell me. I''ll try anything." Cheon Yu-seong also drew his sword from Jin-hyuk''s side. In any case, even though they usually grumble coldly, they are reliable swordsmen at times like this. Jinhyuk glanced at Elise. It seems that he is concentrating with his eyes closed. A pattern unique to Ataraxia that is clearly visible on the red harpoon. It wasn''t too far away to have enough power. "The more you dig inside, the faster you''ll get. How... can you avoid them all?" "Is that what you''re talking about?" "I said this because I was worried. I''m not suspicious." "Don''t die for fooling around like you. It''s not that I didn''t train until now just to see what happens to someone like that." Cheon Yoosung clicked his tongue coldly. "Yeah, okay. Our great swordsman is well, so what are you afraid of?" Jinhyuk smirked. "Sir. I''ll try to get you two as far inside as possible." Wolyeong stood between the two with the sword in its sheath. "Kee-e-e-e!" "Kick Kick Kick!" The branches that laughed like crazy narrowed the distance little by little. A strong enemy that is afraid just to face each other. To be honest, he''s a monster that can''t even scratch a single scratch. But as soon as I thought I had to dig into it from now on, a feeling of pressure took over my whole body. Of course, you don''t have to fight to win. The first priority is just to survive. ''30 minutes If you hold out, the gate will close again.'' This means that the maximum amount of time that Shub Niguras can stay in the real world is that much. Of course, 30 minutes was enough time for him to turn the whole world into ashes. "Wolyoung." "Yes, I will." Wol-young reached out and grabbed Jin-hyuk and Cheon Yu-seong''s collars. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A purple magic circle appeared from numerous branches, and the carpet bombing began. kwaang! kwaaang! A crater that can be touched. If you even scratch it, it''s the end. But the very moment when the ray of light was about to engulf everyone. [Wolyoung activates his unique ability ''Shadow Kill''!] Shadows and shadows followed. In an instant, my view changed. It appeared in the middle of the branches. It is in the arms of Shub Niguras. "Master! It is now!" Wol-young used her body as a pedestal for growth. Tuk! fault! to maximize acceleration. Jinhyuk and Cheon Yuseong kicked Wolyeong''s body and sprinted forward. In less than a second, the two men who had dug into a fairly deep place swung their swords. chwachwachwa! The plain swords stretched and scanned the sides of the branches. "Kie-ee!" Body fluids were scattered everywhere. "The flies!" Immediately, Shub Niguras responded. There were no rules for dozens of branches coming from the left. A siege network that perfectly blocks the escape route and the direction of movement. "It''s on the left!" "Know!" Jinhyuk traced the lasers approaching from the right. Cheon Yuseong also deflected the flash of light coming from the other side. bang! Tatata Tang! The swords moved back and forth, and bullets from the Kruger made holes in the joints of the branches. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart is beating like crazy. The sensations of the whole body become sharp as if on fire. Correspondingly, the ritual of the Chuhon Sword was further refined. one sword. this sword. and three swords. The two swords felt each other''s breath more and more, and merged into one. [Select battlefield.] The image we''ve already shared over and over again. A level that only the strongest players can reach. this. It is a new world that has been changed. [''Players'' World'' is... .] No, I believe it has changed. Whoops! kwaduduk! A crack occurred in the image world that appeared. Inside the shards that crumble like a glass cage. "It''s a funny joke." I saw the figure of Shub Niguras. This time, the very existence of the battlefield selection itself was denied. As in Teresa''s case, Shub Niguras activated the ability to turn images into reality. "Not yet, yet." Jinhyuk used the second card he had prepared without hesitation. The unique ability ''ancient barrier'' and various runes came to mind. zodiac sign. It is the strongest ability of Barrier, which has faced many strong opponents so far. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [[The Twelve Palaces of the Zodiac] ''Aquarius'' is open!] In the sky the stars formed a constellation. Aquarius, who is in charge of optical illusions and hallucinations, was in charge of the realm of illusions acting on the five senses. But. "Didn''t I tell you? No matter how much you struggle. No matter how hard you try. It''s no use." Even that star has lost its light. The sky began to turn black like pitch black. battlefield selectivity. The highest barrier, the zodiac, does not work either. In the first place, in front of Shub Niguras, these abilities were nothing but remnants. right then "Ready!" Elise shouted. A special move that was being prepared while continuously collecting mana. A red harpoon, fully equipped, crossed the air as if waiting. Paaan! Eleven sonic booms occurred, and the clouds parted. A surprise attack using the gap where all eyes are focused on Jin-hyeok and Cheon Yu-seong. "Keeek!" "Aww!" The harpoon ripped through the branches and reached the body of Shub Niguras. only. It was there. [Shub Niguras activates ''Primal Time''!] KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! When the black fever broke out, everything that touched the smoke lost its life. Elise''s unique vocal lance was no exception. The harpoon was getting thinner and thinner, and now it''s completely gone. "The game ends here. Mortals." Everything becomes nothing. Burnt city centers and dead bodies piled up. There is no way to stop it. There was no way I could resist. "Kang Jinhyuk." "Lord!" Cheon Yu-seong and Wol-yeong''s voices were blurred. "Ah ." Elise also let out a sigh filled with despair and fear. like that. A world has come to an end. "Shishi." Shub Niguras muttered in a voice that lost interest. A sight that has turned into a swampy field, There were no more creatures to be killed. However. "...!?" On the face of the primordial god who was dry... . For the first time, a change occurred. " how?" CH 340 Auction House of the Gods (1) "...you guys." A low-pitched voice came out of Shub Niguras'' mouth. I had no choice but to do so. Of course, the subject that should have died was still alive and breathing. Besides, the rest of the humans I thought I had killed a while ago had disappeared like smoke. "It was really close." Jinhyuk smiled brightly. The wounded body had returned as if it had ever been. at the same time. kwaduduk! Uduk! The world around me began to crumble. Fragments that split like a tortoise shell. This is not reality. At least not until recently. "You said you made an image world...?" Shub Niguras looked around in disbelief. It is not at the level of taking some and copying them. at all. This world itself has been copied as it is. All around the 7 gates. "You the hell. How can you create a world of this level?" It is an incredibly detailed landscape. To the extent of deceiving himself who rules all the world. "It''s been a bit hard, but there are so many things to prepare." Through the ''Soul Stone of Longing'' received from Senior Manager Bendivia, the potential of the barrier ability was maximized. By breaking the yellow moonstone into 4 pieces, a base was established in the 4 most mana-rich places on Earth. Siberia in Russia. Bolivia''s salt desert. American Grand Canyon. Cairo, the capital of Egypt. It took a long time, but the effort was definitely worth it. Because he actually completed a confrontation system that could deceive Shub Niguras. "It''s ridiculous. If there''s a sense of incongruity with the mana around you. I''d have noticed." I guess so. An primordial being who is sensitive to mana''s reaction cannot miss such a thing. So we have the proper equipment in place. "I didn''t activate this barrier. I just prepared the basics. I left it to a trusted person to actually activate it." right then -brother. I did everything you were told. -brother. It''s really awesome! Much less damage than we thought. A status window with the voices of Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min appeared. By passing the main materials to two people, he made them master all the processes for activating the barrier. Continue over several days over several days. "Is it an outside help...?" Shuv Niguras'' voice rose a notch. It didn''t change that his voice was mixed with irritation, but there was a hint of interest in his voice little by little. It''s a matter of course. Wasn''t he the one who always played only games with a fixed ending? It was a life in which the proposition of victory had already been established, and the whole process was only a side bridge to fulfill the proposition. However. That title is shaking. starting from this moment. "Even if you are a great divinity, I thought there was one loophole. The realization of the image is not perfect, especially if you are constrained by the system." Aquarius is a psychedelic type of ability. However, this ability has a hidden secret. That is, if it is activated together with the two attribute abilities of the opposite direction, it can cause the illusion of absolute judgment. Master''s Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong and Teresa''s call from the stars. Because of his two abilities, he very subtly intervened in Shub Niguras'' senses. "The more confident you are of yourself, the more you can''t deal with unexpected variables. Well, thanks to you, I was able to pass the time well for me." "...as if, as if you knew my abilities. You are speaking as if this is the first time you and I have met." "I was lucky." "Luck..." Shub Niguras'' body gradually became powder and scattered. All the time allowed to stay in the real world has been exhausted, and it has begun to return to the original 50th floor. "The stupid manager. He told me to watch out for one human. It wasn''t completely nonsense." I remembered Hasting''s head lowered when he asked me if I should be concerned about things. At the time, it was ridiculous that I couldn''t be bothered, but... . It was only now that I understood the meaning of that advice. A human being who has been making fun of himself since time immemorial. I have never met such a bold and sly person. so that. Shub Niguras spoke one last time. "You bastard. By the stupid tower dwellers. Don''t get hit. Come up." to where you are. As far as you can reach the top of the tower. reach To replay the game that was not played this time. "I''ll wait there... I''ll be there." Pants... ! Shub Niguras'' body was completely shattered and scattered. Finally. Surviving the worst threat. "Whoa." Jinhyuk let out a long sigh of relief. at the same time. T-tiring! T-tiring! T-tiring! [The existence of the 50th floor is withdrawn.] [You have achieved an amazing achievement!] [This event will be inscribed in the ''Hall of Fame'' tomorrow.] [A number of divinities at the top of the tower express their deep interest in your existence.] [The giant forces begin to move in earnest.] A number of status windows appeared one after another. of course. [You have completed the Hidden Quest.] [A reward is given for succeeding in the impossible.] [The fourth perk for those who conquered the tower for the first time has been opened.] Compensation was also generously given accordingly. ''This It''s really great, isn''t it?'' Jinhyuk''s lips twitched. It was at this time when I was exhausted both physically and mentally from running away from Moorim. Like rain falling in a drought. It feels like all the fatigue is gone. I had no choice but to do so. Because the rewards that are coming out far exceed what I expected. [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [Level is... .] [You have acquired an admission ticket to the ''Auction House of the Gods''. [Because of the privilege of the first person to conquer the tower, you will have the highest bid in one auction.] [You have obtained the ''Lucky Random Box (Purple)''.] [You have acquired 5,000,000 coins!] A whopping 18 levels of increase. It makes no sense to go up this level in a single raid from a 3-digit level. In addition, a ticket to enter the auction house of the gods was a reward that could never be obtained at this point in time. Others have a hard time getting some rare items from the coin exchange. ''I can monopolize opportunities in a completely different place.'' My heart was beating pleasantly. Like a child who received several gifts at once. It''s hard to decide which one to deal with first. But first... . Jinhyuk activated the personal status window. Name: Kang Jin-hyuk Gender: Male Age: 28 Level: 144 Strength 109 Dexterity 67 Stamina 67 mana 372 Gap 100 Luck 10 Adaptive 78 Elemental 101.38 Stat Points you have: 54 Coins held: 16,743,550 Occupation: Ruler of the Runes Unique Abilities: ''Fusion'', ''Sword Grave'', ''Star Blessing'', ''Anubis'' Judgment'', ''Blood Magic'', ''Mandala'', ''1 second Invincible'', ''Thousand Poison (ǧ)'', ''White Beast'', ''All Things (f鹲)'', ''Sanctuary of the Sun'', ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong (ħʹ)'', ''Triple Magic'', '' ''Colossus Strike'', ''Breath of the Fire Dragon'', ''High Speed Sword'', ''Tomb Grave''s Right Arm'', ''Berserker'', ''Wind Realm'', ''Shadow Kill (Ӱؽ)'', ''Blood Explosion''Ѫ)'', ''Black Tears'', ''Tomb Grave''s Bridge'', ''Strong God (y)'', ''The Core of the Legion'', ''Ancient Barrier'', ''Heavenly Demon Godgong (ħ)'', ''ment ''La Timing'', ''Nihilism'' skill: There are too many skills, so ''put it down'' transitioned to state. Eventually I reached level 144. This is a level that corresponds to the highest rank among the residents, Of course, if you add the correction values of various stats, including the gap stat, the actual level will belong to a much higher axis than this. ''Because the regular stats, which did not go up well, exploded thanks to this fight.'' There were many things that I gained from the battle with Shub Niguras. [mana rises from 372 to 402!] [Agility increases from 67 to 91!] Invested in mana and agility. Mana was the stat that consumed the most. Agility was a stat boasting excellent efficiency in dealing with a large number of enemies moving at high speed. ''If you want to avoid those branches later, you should put them up in advance.'' With this, the stats were neatly arranged. Then... ,. Jinhyuk''s gaze turned to the golden parchment he was holding in his hand. This is a ticket to enter the auction house of the gods. There must still be time for the association staff and the rest of the players to come here. indeed. What are you trying to trade? Jinhyuk tore a ticket to enter the ''Auction House of the Gods''. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo With the bright light, the surrounding landscape changed completely. A magnificent building reminiscent of a Greek temple. In the midst of that, soft clouds were floating around. The lake and the four-winged birds caught my eye under the bright moonlight. It is a dreamy yet beautiful place, as if you have truly come to the dwelling place of the gods. right then bang it A white fairy appeared. He was a humanoid with small wings and a cute appearance, resembling Tinkerbell in a fairy tale. "Wow! It''s the first time a human is visiting our auction house! Huh! You''re also a player? Oh my gosh. Ah! My name is Setilda. It''s a pretty name, right? We shared a lot." I don''t know anything else, but I know I''m a talker. I know that it''s easy to ask for information as you have a light mouth. The fact that they attended the auction house meant that they were of the level of a skilled angel. "Call me Kang Jin-hyuk." "Yes. Jinhyuk-nim! I''m really Shadow. Is there anything you''re looking for? Although I say it out loud, we don''t have anything." "I''m here for the first time today, so I''m not looking for anything in particular... I just wanted to take a look at what this place is like." "Ah! That''s right. Take a look at it and call me anytime if you need anything." Setilda smiled brightly and flew around. Indeed, in many ways, she is a crazy fairy. Well, even though he was an intermediate manager with the same rank as Rick. Jin-hyeok, who broke up with Setilda, went straight into the auction house. Whoops! Glass tubes were visible between the torches hanging on either side. These are the auction items that were exhibited in this session. [Root of Yggdrasil] Acquisition Difficulty: Unmeasurable Contents: ???? Auction starting price: 12,585,000,000 [Pandora''s Box] Acquisition Difficulty: Unmeasurable Contents: ???? Auction starting price: 33,210,000,000 Even the ''Eyes of Gluttony'' cannot check the details. This means that the items being traded here are of a non-standard type. ''I''ll have to follow some luck to make good use of the priority bid.'' No matter how much you have certainty. If you don''t like the items in this episode, the hidden card you''ve worked so hard to get will fade. That was when I was thinking about it. kuung! All of a sudden, the ground on which I was standing shook violently. thud! thud! thud! Someone is coming. A being with a formidable mana. CH 341 Auction House of the Gods (2) thud! thud! thud! The footsteps gradually grew louder. There was a roar that seemed to shake the entire auction house. It was a man with a height of 5 meters who appeared soon after. A muscular build and a half-naked body. A feeling of intimidation emanating from his thick beard weighed on his whole body. there''s no way you don''t know How could you not know? A great hero called the strongest warrior in Greek mythology. ''I thought, at best, I''d send my minions to run a proxy auction... .'' Apparently, this auction is bigger than expected. If only such a giant came to this place. thud! footsteps stopped. "Khahaha! We finally met. I was skeptical when I said that the one-eyed old man would come here, but it was worthwhile to come to this stupid place." Finally, Hercules, standing in front of Jinhyuk, chuckled and burst into laughter. "Are you saying you came all the way here to see me?" "Yes. I don''t believe in prophecies, but I believe in what I see with my own eyes." Hercules raised his finger and pointed to Jinhyuk. "Feeding a bastard on the 50th floor was quite a sight to behold. To be honest, I never imagined I would survive that way." The introduction is finished. The gist came out. "I already know the toothless Nordics have approached. I don''t know what they''re suggesting, but they''re sunken ships." Loki and Thor. It seems that the two divinities and this one have already entered the Greek side. After all, if you''re second in information, there''s Hermes you''d be embarrassed about. "Are you saying that it would be a loss if we worked together?" "That''s right. If you''re going to climb the tower, wouldn''t it be good for you to be with a strong force?" After Odin, the Nordic Supreme God, lost his crown, the influence of the Nordic divinities fell to the ground. In fact, the Greek divinities were openly invading Odin''s realm. It was also an open secret that several large and small battles took place. ''Certainly, Christ is a force with his own charm. If I make a choice, I''ll do my best to serve as a back-up ship.'' At least in attacking the late 30s and early 40s of the tower, it must boast excellent efficiency. But why? Jinhyuk did not accept the proposal of the other party hastily. Because there was a reason they should never have anything to do with Greece. ''These guys are more sinister than the demon world guys.'' Tosagupin. It was the iron rule of the Greek divinities to always dispose of the hunting dog after the hunt. I didn''t want to repeat that mistake this time because I had memories of going through a lot of hardship in the past because I didn''t know that. "Hmm. It''s too important to do right now. Let''s take some time and think about it slowly." "I''m sorry, but I need to get an answer now. What I want is because I have a personality that needs to be resolved right away." "Then I''m sorry, but I have to decline." At Jinhyuk''s expression of intent, Hercules'' eyebrows curve backwards. "Are you serious about that ?" "I''m here to enjoy the auction purely today. I don''t want to choose which faction to join." Jinhyuk politely put his hands together as if he was really sorry. Usually, it''s normal to have to get out of this on your own. of course. Normally, it just means that. "That''s it''s a pity." For the great hero who does not measure back and forth, there was no option of rejection. Boo woo woo! Variables that might become annoying enemies should be trampled down from the cotyledon. That was the standard that Hercules divided his enemies from his allies. Fists crossed with great speed. A blow full of life. Dangerous. The moment I thought so, Jinhyuk also built a body that can react to the opponent. [The unique ability ''Tombgrave''s Right Arm'' is activated!] A completely changed right arm. A fist that flew toward the face and an arm outstretched to defend it collided head-on. Aww! A huge shock wave rang out. "Huh?" Hercules'' eyes fluttered visibly. It is a face that he could not even imagine that a human could stop his attack. However, Jinhyuk was also embarrassed. ''You''ve become really strong.'' How could you endure the blow of Hercules even for a moment? He was even surprised by himself. It was because it was unimaginable to face divinities at a time when the Tower of Trials appeared less than two years ago. [Gap stats are activated to the maximum!] kukukuku! The sight of a much smaller hand clasping a giant fist was grotesque. However, it was only for a while. pushed At least not yet... . A head-to-head match with a higher divinity was impossible. Fatigue from the battle with Shub Nigurus also played a role. " " Jinhyeok bit his molars softly. A few seconds at most. Endurance is the limit. "Is the idea that you won''t come under us still hasn''t changed?" "Again, I don''t work with unlucky people. Most of all, I have no hobbies under anyone else." "Isn''t it? It''s pretty short for a will." A thick tendon protruded from Hercules'' arm. But right then. Hwaaak! A faint green gas was scattered. "Aww!" A scream filled with pain erupted from Hercules'' mouth. His hastily step backwards didn''t suit his size at all. "You damn bastard...! Dare you spray me with poison!?" A unique blend of ''Cheonpox'' and ''Black Tears''. The only trauma Hercules had was poison. "Don''t you know that obsessive men are not attractive? "I''m going to tear it apart and kill it!" Hercules let out a roar filled with anger. Quad Duck! I wondered if the marble ground would crack like a tortoise shell... . kwaang! Suddenly, his body bounced off like a bullet. No, I was trying to get out. Someone grabbed Hercules'' wrist before his feet could fall off the ground. "How dare you stop me! What kind of bastard are you?" "A person who is said to be one of the greatest divinities in Greece did he lose his sanity not only because he was hit by a player?" "You !?" Hercules stopped moving. No matter how ruthless he was, he was a great hero, but this time he had no choice but to fold it. Because the opponent was also the strongest divinity body covering a single myth. Jin-hyeok, who was in a fighting stance, was also staring intently at the newly-appearing opponent. Here, another giant appeared. ''Did the faction holding the crown also participate in the auction?'' The demon world once had the crown, but now it has been taken away. And the subject . It is because of the existence in front of you. The word ''sacred'' is often used, but I wonder if there is anything else that fits so well. Representatives who carry out and execute the will of God. One of the powerful divinities in itself stood in front of Jinhyuk. "Hello. Jinhyuk Kang player. I''ve been wanting to see you for a long time, but I''m finally able to see you." The beautiful woman smiled brightly. Long blonde hair tied to one side. The body was thin as if it were about to break, but the mana flowing out was hard to fathom the end. Archangel Gabriel. One of the four great angels, and a member of the giant power ''Eden'' that rules the 44th floor of the Tower of Trials. Naturally, quite a few boss monsters were also beings with the power to put them to sleep with a single blow. "I came here just to see if anyone doesn''t know that today''s main auction has been canceled, and I''m glad I did. Thanks to that, I was able to prevent a terrible thing." "There won''t be an auction today. What do you mean? The nymph who was talking about Setilda or something outside never said that before?" Hercules asked immediately. "The small and medium-sized auctions with delegated representatives of the divinities will proceed as scheduled." but. "The main auction has been pushed back two days, because one of the new entries is so precious." "Maybe, ''that''s''" "Are you coming out?" "Yes. So, please don''t lose your strength, Hercules-sama, and die and gather enough funds. We don''t want an auction that ends in vain either." Gabriel laughed softly. And he opened his mouth to Jinhyuk. "I will see player Jinhyuk Kang again in two days. At that time, you will probably meet many divinities and factions and be able to choose a faction on good terms. Of course, I want you to know that our ''Eden'' is also showing interest." As always, keep politeness with a pleasant smile. Perhaps this is a basic trait possessed by angels. two days later. Looks like some pretty interesting things are going to happen. Because I had a rough idea of what it would be like to be up for auction. "Okay. I guess I''ll have to go back to this today." Jinhyuk nodded his head. [Amidst a wave of condolences around the world .] [It is known that the presidents and guilds of each country personally thanked player Kang Jin-hyuk, the greatest contributor to this work.] [This is the breaking news that ''Goin-Mul Corporation'', where player Jin-Hyeok Kang is the master, has been included in the world''s eight largest guilds!] The pouring of articles heated up the media and the Internet every day. There have been a few terrible outbreaks before, but this is the first time I''ve ever been so desperate. "Hey. That''s pretty good. But, why isn''t there a story about Jim?" Elise asked with her eyes twinkling. "Um. There is, but most of the posts from the Strange fan club. How. Can I show you some of these?" At first glance, there are many things that harm the dignity of vampires. Wouldn''t that be better than indifference? "It is, it is! Jim will enjoy a hobby worthy of his noble dignity." "A hobby? Do you know how to do hobbies besides eating and sleeping?" "Ahem. Don''t be surprised after seeing it. Humans do it a lot too." "Hmm. It''s very suspicious..." Jinhyuk entered Alice''s room with a questionable face. Fake cobwebs and skulls. A room with dimly lit candles caught my eye. Anyway, the taste is amazing once in a while. "I was watching a movie." Elise pointed to the video on her tablet. uhm this... ? a movie you know. Twilight. It is a masterpiece of fantasy-style romance with vampires and werewolves. "Hey. Do you see this too?" "Yes. But the more I watch this movie, the worse I feel." "Huh?" no it''s sweet nice or It is normal to have such a feeling, but why did the feeling of being in a bad mood jump out? The reason was soon revealed. "Dare you, werewolves attacking noble races. It was something I never dared to imagine when I was a lord! What the hell did the lords over there do to let the situation become like this!" As if in anger, Elise slammed the table with a small fist. It''s stupid to expect a normal reaction from this stupid vampire. "If you say that you don''t even agree with me, that''s all, and get ready to leave." "Are you going out?" "It''s been a long time since I''ve had a break, are you going to stay at home all day?" You have two days until the auction house reopens. Going to the 19th floor will be after that. So until then. I plan to release the accumulated fatigue to my heart''s content. "Oh oh oh oh! Of course I''ll go... No. Well, if the contractor earnestly begs to go with him, there''s nothing he can''t do. Noble races can''t easily refuse a request." Alice jumped out of bed and tried to get up, trying to control her expression. CH 342 The 2nd Koin-Mul Corporation Shareholders'' Meeting An unnamed ruin on the border of the 40th floor. A few shadows were gathered here, covered with dark clouds. Hasting, a senior manager, Axencion, the owner of Ataraxia, and a woman with red hair. three like this "Damn it! How the hell did this happen?" Hasting couldn''t beat Min, and his body trembled thinly. The clenched fists seemed to destroy everything at any moment. "The power he possessed was stronger than I thought. If he had joined me, I might have lost my life too." Axencion opened his mouth heavily. Not only Nietzsche, who has nihilism, but even the Demon King, the divinity of the demon world, could not compete. Even if Axencion joined in, it was impossible to reverse the tide of war. Didn''t Jinhyuk even send Shub Niguras back to the original floor? At least three steps higher than previously expected should be seen as the monster above. right then "How the hell is he so great that everyone grumbles like that?" The silent woman opened her mouth. The appearance of a little girl with short bobbed hair. However, it was foolish to guess her age simply by her appearance. Red Dragon. ''Tamia''. It is one of the Ancient Dragons that inherited the blood of the most powerful Red Dragon among the dragons. "I''m a human being who tries to interfere with what I''m trying to do. All my efforts have been in vain because I''ve even included that damn bastard of Bendivia." "Hey. If it''s Bendivia, you''re that dark elf manager? I remember he was very picky, but he likes her. It looks really great." Tamia let out a small exclamation. Up to now, humans have been nothing more than toys that can be trampled on to death or burnt down depending on the mood. Because they were weak humans who turned to ashes with just one gesture of their own. However. Little by little, a player named Kang Jin-hyuk began to become curious. It was unusual for a Red Dragon to be so savvy. "I''m just an annoying human being. More than that... do you think the dragons will accept the offer?" "Well. Dragons are so selfish that it''s not easy to gather them all in one place, but if you prepare a lot of gold and treasure, you''ll be able to entice them somehow." "If that''s the case, don''t worry. If it''s gold and silver, I can procure it as much as I want." "And don''t forget what you promised to give to me." "I know. I will make sure that Tamia-sama inherits the position of Lord." Hasting nodded. The Gold Dragon, who is currently in charge, is an ancient-class Ancient Dragon that has lived for over 2,000 years. Because of his good-natured and wise character, he was praised by many Dragons and has been holding that position for over 100 years. However, Tamia only lived a long time. He didn''t like the fact that the old Dragon, who was less skilled than him, was in the position of Lord. just then Hasting came and scratched the itchy area. Killing the less distant Dragon. ask her to take her place. If the stage is properly set up, the rod can be replaced with justification. "So. What can I do for you?" "We''ll take care of three places. Tamia-sama will lead the dragons and get rid of one of the most annoying places." The corpses of giants with Jinhyuk''s base. Forest of elves. A lake where the Frostblade clan resides. The psychiatric ward that Andrea is in charge of. Anyone who has a relationship with Jinhyuk knows about it. "No matter how great a monster you are, you won''t be able to protect them all." A large-scale invasion led by powerful dragons. The fact that there are many places to protect also meant that we would face a situation in which we had no choice but to give up one place. And if you get even one wrong number between the countless tactics and strategies... . Only then will Jinhyeok be able to destroy the things he treasures. ''I will definitely prevent you from seeing the top of the tower.'' Hasting started preparing another move. All of this. To keep the balance of the tower. In order not to repeat the nightmare when the tower was out of balance... am. A long-awaited peaceful rest. [In front of Exit 1 of Gangnam Station by 2pm tomorrow. If you are late, your survival cannot be guaranteed.] The 2nd general shareholders'' meeting of Goin-Mul Corporation was held with a warm invitation message. The idea was to promote friendship between employees after a long time and to create a friendly atmosphere within the company. The main reason was to find out the reactionary molecules who had other thoughts in the interim. However. The general meeting of shareholders, which was supposed to be conducted brutally, was unexpectedly easily aborted. "Jim came out to play, but I don''t want to spend time in hard meetings!" Due to Elise''s strong insistence, the meeting location was changed. The condition was that it had to include elements that we could all enjoy together, even if we went to a place we had never been to before. The place that was decided like that was the PC room. Although it has recently been pushed by VR game rooms, it is still a popular place for many people. Alice looked around curiously. "Oh. I''ve heard Jim a few times. Isn''t this the place where young humans change their lives?" "Well, there are some people who stay locked up all day." In the worst of times, there were people who slept more than one Master family. It was not uncommon to get kicked out because of the bad smell. "It''s my first time coming to a place like this." "I''m busy with my studies when I''m on break, did you just call me to go to a place like this?" Theresa and Cheon Yuseong also helped each other a word. "Isn''t this a bad thing for a change of mood sometimes?" "Damn it. I like going to the birds for a diversion or watching a movie." "Ttttttt. So, isn''t your skill improving well? You would have gotten a lot stronger if you just played like crazy during your breaks." "What, what?" Cheon Yoosung reflexively stretched out his hand to his waist. Then, realizing that he didn''t have a sword, he clenched his molars. "Hey. Don''t be too hot. If you can''t admit it, would you like to bet here with a game?" "Choose. Whatever game I play, I''ll prove that I''m better than you." Cheon Yoo-seong, who said he would not play the game even if he died, grabbed the bait. Today''s shareholders'' meeting dues should all be paid to this guy. That was then. "Thank you. I was held captive by that inspiration, but now I think I can live without trembling in anxiety." Melena, who was walking next to her, opened her mouth while hesitating. The horse was the Magic Association. It was a point organization strictly controlled by Nietzsche. Therefore, I did not know when it would be thrown away or die mercilessly after being used as a chess piece. But he was finally freed from that long fear. "We also wanted to say thank you. If you hadn''t come from Gapcheon, everyone would have buried their bones." "That''s right. I survived thanks to you. If you ever need anything in the future, please let me know. If it''s about a pet, I can be of some help." Min Jung-woo and Lee Yu-ri also gave greetings that they could not do before. what is it It doesn''t feel so bad. We were forced to join the company because we got entangled in a bad relationship, but when we are together, a strange bond is forming. Elise, who was seated, immediately demanded to order something to eat. They seem to have picked up somewhere that the food in the PC room is as delicious as any other restaurant. "Homemade hamburger french fries set, chicken mayo donburi, chapagetti topped with cheese and fried eggs. Coca-Cola stuffed with ice. Red velvet cheesecake for dessert! Elise handed the part-timer a piece of gold the size of a thumb. "That guest... huh? Huh?" At first, the part-timer tried to argue as if he was joking. When I bit it with my teeth, my expression changed 180 degrees. it''s real gold It''s also pretty heavy. Thanks to this, in less than three minutes, a full table of colorful dishes was served. It was also an added bonus that the PC room was chartered when a few gold pieces were added. The interior is empty except for the members of the Goin Corporation. "Oh. It''s delicious. It makes me want to keep him as Jim''s exclusive cook. No, I think it''s a way to buy this place altogether and then visit it often." While Elise was chewing food like a hamster, Jinhyuk chose a game to play with. The game was already the most popular game ''LOL (Legend of Legends)'' for several years. "First of all, I''ll tell you how to use it. Take a look. The arrow keys are these, and the ultimate..." "Okay. There''s no need to tell a genius like Jim all those things." Alice snorted lightly. [[''The strongest pure blood in the universe''] You have chosen the champion.] Vladimir. Elise chose the blood lord as if it was natural. "I''ll pay for the interest. It''s a little inferior to Jim, but he''s a vampire with rich and lofty white hair and fangs." "Okay. It''s okay. I''m sure. Well then, I''ll do it with this." [[''Colonel Timo''] You have chosen the champion.] Jinhyuk chose Teemo, which mainly uses poisonous mushrooms. A cute raccoon dog stuffed poison stingers and mushrooms. "I''ll show you cleverly. What is the difference in class! This is the great vampire..." [First Blood! Colonel Timo is going crazy!] Elise''s champion died while struggling. "Wow, originally I was going to give you a handicap. This time...!" puff puff! Pugh! Mushrooms colored the entire screen purple. [Double Kill!] [Colonel Timo is a legend!] "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Alice screamed while holding the monitor. It''s like eating poisonous mushrooms yourself. A desperate scream filled the inside of the PC room. OK. This time, Cheon Yoo-seong came out. "I''m finally able to compete with you." It wasn''t easy in real life, but it''s different in the game. It was because he analyzed Jinhyeok and searched the video game like crazy. What style do you play? Where to go in minutes. What are your favorite items? were stitched together. [[''Immediate mortal life, immediate mortal life''] You selected ''Yasuo''.] on this sword. hang everything money to us! Cheon Yoo-seong took the keyboard and mouse with the most serious face in the world. And after a few minutes. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa nor than than this than that! My calculations were perfect. My analysis was perfect! You samurai with so much pretentiousness!" Another person holding the monitor and crying was added. "Hehe. As expected, our owner is really good." "Yeah! Even pro gamers can''t be the owners." "What are you doing? Aren''t you applauding quickly? If the owner is ignorant, he''s killed...not everything. We''re cheering for you because we really like it." "I. I''m hitting hard. Look. My palms are on fire." "Mooogi!" Jung Ryeong-soo and Sweet Potato cheered hard from behind. ''This shareholders'' meeting is also very successful.'' Jinhyuk smiled satisfied. Seeing everyone having fun, I think it would be good to get together again next time. like that. The day of the holiday has passed. There are only 24 hours left before the auction house opens. CH 343 The Great Powers of the Upper Class (1) A day that passed quickly. After spending time in the PC room, Jinhyeok and the members of the Koinmul Corporation relieved their fatigue by visiting various places. And the next day. "We''re going to end up here." "See you later." Min Jung-woo and Lee Yu-ri, who are busy with personal schedules, left first. "Oppa. See you next time. We''ll work hard too." "Hyung. I have additional information about the unexplored labyrinth, so next time, let''s go with us." Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa also bid farewell to the labyrinth, as if it was a pity because they had a schedule. "I have work that I haven''t finished yet... It''s important, but I''ll report it when it''s all settled." Finally, even Melena disappeared, saying that she had something to do with the surviving Magic Remnants. Members nearly halved. There, after the general meeting of shareholders, each had to rest. "Actually, it was a number." Jinhyuk let out a soft sigh. The second day''s schedule was to play baseball together. Teresa, who usually likes to watch baseball, carefully considered her opinion. Everyone readily accepted the offer. As a result. Hell has begun. On the one hand, there was a team composed of Teresa, Jinhyuk, Wolyeong, and Jungryongsu. The other side was a team made up of Elise, the heavenly star Andria, and an ancient soldier and T-Bone. [185th score 0:0] The game has been running for 7 hours already. Most of the times each episode took less than two minutes, but the result was this because there were only those who boasted crazy specs. To be precise, it was because Teresa, who was so innocent, had changed her personality 180 degrees when she entered the game. "Mr. Jinhyuk..." "Yes?" "I just hit that ball. Couldn''t you be able to hit it if it was Jinhyuk?" A tingling sensation that touches the skin. The atmosphere turns cold. Teresa, who had already activated halfway through ''corruption'', had both a sacred image and a decadent image. Damn it. what is this Look at that dark red energy rising from the baseball bat. They are about to cut down the entire baseball field. Besides, the problem is . "It''s annoying. I never lose." The point was that his opponent, Alice, also hated losing more than dying. "I agree. It would be better to bite your tongue and die than to lose to that guy." Cheon Yoo-seong was also a guy with an unimaginable desire to win. Thanks to this, a game like a Mobius strip that never ends was in progress. fault! [Wolyoung activates his unique ability ''Shadow Kill''!] I wondered if the shadow of Wolyeong, who was on first base, was getting blurry. In an instant, he reached the nose of second base. But right then. [Cheon Yuseong activates Lv19 ''Sword of the Soul''!] KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! There was a long line on the floor of the baseball field. "It''s okay." It was a check with a strong will to cut it if it moved any longer. "Sheesh!" As Wolyeong clicked his tongue and returned to where he was, the corner of Elise''s mouth, who was in charge of pitching, was subtly twisted. huuuuuuuuuuuo! As the red energy condensed into one, the ball shook violently. It was a phenomenon where mana gathered to the limit due to ''Blood Road''. "This time, I will put an end to it." "My kid doesn''t seem to know the rules of baseball. You''re the defender and we''re the offense. If it''s over, the offense has to score to finish." "Hey, maybe you don''t know the rules of baseball. And you''re a kid? He, that''s what you said to me now?" "Oh, I guess I made a mistake? But, even when I look at cooking and cooking, I look like a kid. What should I do?" "Ahhhhh! I''ll kill you. You stupid saint!" Elise took a stance to throw a baseball. kukuku kuk kook! A sonic boom occurred one after another, and the ground began to dig deep. dead ball. It is often aimed at the act of hitting the typing. However, if you really hit that ball here, it could literally be a dead ball. Not at the level of instant death, but at the level where existence itself disappears without a trace. "It''ll taste good." Whoops! Wild flames shot up along Teresa''s baseball bat. Mana, a mixture of divine power and corrupted energy, could not even imagine how delicate control was required. Whoops. The ball is gone. Then the wind disappeared. What followed . Aww! It sounded like the entire baseball field was about to collapse. The bounced ball soared high into the sky. A white dot that slowly falls in a parabolic circle. "Catch that right now!" "The ball is going over there." "Yeah. Leave it to me." "Everyone, be quiet. My head hurts." "Dalgrak. If you don''t want to be a bone broth, everyone, get your mind right." The spirit beasts and ancient soldiers were busy moving. In the sky, a soft black crane is holding a female guinea pig. He was in a state of full readiness for fear of damage to the outside. The sweet potato was chewing on the magic stone and watching all of it from the bench. Boo Woong! KwaKwaKwabang! Unique abilities and skills abound. In a battlefield almost reminiscent of a real battle. Jinhyuk nodded with a face that put everything down. ''There is no such thing as a dogged dog.'' Maybe it would be better to have another fight with Shubniguras. If there''s one thing that''s not bad though... . Jinhyuk''s eyes glanced towards the phone. View tube live. You cannot get coins, but it is a means that can do a great job in increasing personal sponsorship and subscriber count. Jinhyuk started a live broadcast right after the baseball game started to gather viewers. And of course . The reaction was explosive. -golgol: Wow. is this real? It''s a heart-pounding game. -Maison Hwang: The video of the rankers fighting was a joke. -Moon Yu-chan: I''ve seen a lot of videos of boss battles, labyrinths, and ruins, but I don''t think I''ve seen anything more thrilling and glamorous than this. -cry: No, not some kind of murder baseball. What is that haha -Anonymous: Still, the real members are solid. It''s not just the heroes who saved mankind. -Just: But am I the only one who finds it strange that heroes risk their lives for such things? Yes? Somebody give me a reasonable critique. The chat window that constantly goes down makes my eyes dizzy. ''At least, the value of the company name will definitely go up.'' Due to the incorporation of the world''s eighth largest guild, the stock price is skyrocketing. If these promotional videos are added, the effect will shine even more. With that calculation, Jinhyuk didn''t look so bad at this war-like baseball field. ''This is how it happened. I really wish the baseball field itself was destroyed.'' As the number of wounded increases, the public''s interest will become even hotter. The sweet two-day holiday is over. When the promised date arrived, Jinhyuk activated the gate to the auction house once again. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo with bright light. The same thing happened when I first ripped the ticket. "Whoa." Jinhyuk took a deep breath. I ran the simulation over and over in my head, but I still needed to check the variables once more. No matter what anyone says, a lot of divinities that cover the upper floors of the tower will appear in this auction. Of course, the plan must be perfect to get the most out of it. right then "Oh my. You''re here again." A little fairy appeared in front of Jinhyuk. This is the guide I met two days ago. "Hello. Your name was probably... Setilda?" "Neney! Wow. It''s an honor for you to remember my name. Was there anything you liked last time? Seeing you come back like this. Ah. Wait. Wait a minute. Let''s see. This is the itinerary. This time, I recommend the B-3 auction hosted by Rick, the middle manager. Look. The hot new items on the 20th floor..." The words still pouring out like rapid-fire cannons hit the eardrums. "No, that''s fine, but this time I''m going to participate in a special auction organized by the divinities." "Ah, that''s..." Setilda blurted out the end of her words as if in trouble. "Why. Something''s wrong?" "No. It''s not like that... The auctions that divinity people attend are very expensive. Besides, you need a magic stone or equivalent to enough to buy a castle with just the entrance fee." In a word, it is a place where it is difficult to even attend with a reasonable amount of money. "Don''t worry. I didn''t come without such preparation." Jinhyuk took out a rather thick female female juice. The Black Crane brought a freshly made Yeouiju, which he had been cherishing for so long. I was still in tears, and I remembered the figure of the blue dragon saying that it was not enough... . The feeling of regret was only temporary. "I know how to get there from here. I don''t have to guide you anymore." "Yes. Then, make a good auction!" Setilda greeted her brightly as always. jerk. As we went further inside, we saw a corridor lined with ornate marble columns. At the same time, a different dimension from the entrance appeared. ''indeed .'' Jinhyuk''s lips twisted slightly. A being with the strongest power within the tower. Each one is a myth and the absolutes that rule the world. I could feel the pressure on my whole body just by meeting her. ''North Europe and Greece... Did you come from the spirit world and the demon world?'' The powerful forces that were difficult to see even when climbing the tower in the past gathered together. As if to tell you how important this auction is. right then "Oh my goodness." A beautiful woman with long blonde hair tied to one side approached. This is the archangel Gabriel belonging to ''Eden''. Next to him was a strong male angel who looked like a bodyguard. I can''t remember his face, so I don''t think he''s an angel in an important position... . "You''re here too." Gabriel spoke first. "Because it''s not very common in a place like this." "Well, I haven''t had a chance to meet divinities very often until now." Gabriel nodded as if he understood. However. "And by the way, the main purpose is to see the apostles who have contracted with the divinities rather than the divinities that are too high. "...!?" At Jinhyuk''s words, Gabriel''s pupils dilated gently. The male angel next to him also flinched and clenched his fists. "Where else did you hear that information?" "Players haven''t been chosen by the divinities yet, but it''s a different story for residents. The divinities will also need agents that span the floor to exert influence on the lower floors. Also, the place where the giants at the top want to show off. Of course, I thought they would have brought their apostles as well." Those who were chosen by the demon world are called ''black apostles''. Those who have been chosen by other divinities have similar titles. And among the residents, there will be even and even rankers. The future. Rivals who will climb the upper floors of the tower together and fight. "Huhuhuhuh. Did you even think about that? It''s really fun. It''s fun. Normally, players would be busy saying they''re the first to come to this place." Gabriel seemed to like it even more, so he had a strange smile on his face. "As I said before, Eden is interested in player Jinhyuk Kang. If we can accept someone as big as you as an apostle, it will be much more reassuring." In that sense. "We''ll make an offer first." A huge power threw the first offer. With conditions that are never hard to refuse. "Senior Manager. I''ll give you information about Hasting. Even what he''s planning for the future." CH 344 The Great Powers of the Upper Class (2) " " Information about Hasting. Jinhyuk bit his lip at an unexpectedly great subject. One of the cards I definitely wanted to get came up. Because he was so veiled, it was difficult to know his plan in the past, but he was able to confirm it. ''Just join Eden to hear the story, is this... .'' A giant power in the upper layers, ''Eden''. It certainly has more advantages than other options. Since the members are also strong and, above all, the demon world is the best, we were able to create various variables in the future. But, before making a choice . T-tiring! [Lv15 ''Eyes of Gluttony'' is activated!] Jinhyuk''s eyes pierced the opponent. But. [The Archangel''s Blessing is activated!] As if waiting, a golden cloud appeared. "!" cool and An intense pain arose in Jinhyuk''s eyes. It felt like it had been pierced from the top of the head to the spinal cord. "Whohoo. It''s a foul to look behind the curtain. We also know to some extent the kind of skill that Jinhyuk Kang has." Gabriel laughed softly. I knew it. It is not easy to get information through ''eyes'' in front of a higher divinity. Of course, even if it wasn''t, there was a way to find out what the opponent wanted. "Okay. I''m just tinkering around here." "You mean you''re going to accept our offer?" "It''s not." Jinhyuk shook his head. "It''s a pity to say no. I thought you''d definitely want to know about Hastings." Well . "I think you''re misunderstanding something, but I said I''m not going to join your forces. I didn''t say I''d give up any information about Hasting." "Yes?" "I''ll hand over a piece of corresponding information from my side as well." "Are you talking about some sort of exchange of information? With us?" "That''s right. Probably, it''s a story that''s quite appealing even in Eden." That was then. "It''s ridiculous." A male angel who had been watching quietly intervened. "It''s too much to say that it''s too much just to make an offer to something like that, but you''re saying that you''re going to make a deal with us with less than a speck of knowledge?" "Stop Damiel." Gabriel restrained him, but the male angel did not give in easily. "But. Archangel, am I not right? From what the author knows, at best, there''s a rare item, a ragweed, in the middle of the tower.... Isn''t that amazing?" Damiel snorted as if he wasn''t the same. However. In the next words... . "I have the crown, but the reason I can''t even reach the border on the 50th floor. Isn''t that all because I don''t have ''the book''?" Damian''s expression changed 180 degrees, saying that everything was frivolous. "...how do you do that?" I couldn''t help but be frustrated. One of the essential relics to safely roam the 50th floor. ''Necronomicon.'' It is a magic book containing all kinds of information about the 50th floor and the contents of the Old Gods. By the way, a forbidden book known only among divinities will come out of the mouth of one player. I couldn''t quite believe it. "I know where parts of the book are. If you give me some information about Hasting, I''ll tell you where parts of the book are too." "This he was a more dangerous man than I thought. A person like you." Gabriel also muttered, unable to hide his embarrassment. Just knowing that the book exists is unlikely to be false. then . "Okay. Let''s make a deal." Gabriel accepted the offer. [You paid 1 Yeouiju of the Blue Dragon as an admission fee.] The manager at the entrance looked closely at Yeouiju, and then nodded. This means that the entrance fee is sufficient. "Then, I wish you a comfortable auction..." As the manager took a step back, a huge door opened on both sides. That''s how the big auction store appeared. As many divinities had already attended, the inside was quite busy. "At least the magic stone..." "The fifth item must be on our side..." "...Yes. I know." Most of them were talking with the factions they belonged to, discussing how to get the items to be exhibited this time. However. jerk. As Jinhyuk entered the auction house, the buzzing sound disappeared like a lie. All eyes turned to this direction. A rookie who has already reached the middle of the tower in less than two years since ''Tower of Trials'' appeared. The ranker of the topic that drove out the strongest being that even the divinities could not do anything about. Countless towers have appeared in countless dimensions in the past, but it was the first time a player climbed a tower so quickly. Of course, attention is bound to be focused. "Is that guy Kang Jin-hyuk?" "That''s right. He''s a person whose name has been mentioned several times on our side as well." "He played a great role in the war between the Moorim and the Empire. It was because of him that he dealt with the Heavenly Demon Protestant Samaja." "If it''s a samaja, isn''t that the one the monkey wanted to make as his apostle?" "Ho-ho. I think he''s right, seeing his face with a lot of contortion over there." Each of the divinities spit out a word. right then Pants! Black sparks erupted in all directions. Unlike those who watched from afar, they approached with open hostility. He is an impressive man with long protruding tusks and a red tattooed face. "I''m finally seeing that damn face. My subordinates have been indebted to me in many ways, so I desperately wanted to meet him." Anger drips from every word. there''s no way you don''t know How could you not know? Guntafer. As one of the demon world corps commanders, he once collided with his subordinates in the corpses of giants. I made a grand plan through the demons to nothing... . There''s no way he certainly has good feelings for this side. And next to him was a man wearing armor with a pattern symbolizing Ataraxia. Accention. Even the head of Hyundai Ataraxia, who betrayed Elise, attended this auction. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. strong. so overwhelming. When he met the householders on the lower floors of the tower, his power was limited, but here he was able to fully demonstrate his own power. The various weapons worn on the body were also only the highest-class relics with well-known names. "Whether it''s an auction or a naval, I''d like to have your head cut off." Guntafer''s nails sharpened. "Are you trying to express your anger against me in front of so many divinities? I also came as a contestant... If I did something like this, wouldn''t everyone stay still?" "I guess I don''t know much about divinities, but they don''t care about your life or anything like that. Divinity is what they move when they have some profit." It goes without saying, but here power is the rule and the law. A resident or player must belong somewhere as an apostle to survive among the divinities. Of course, Jinhyeok, who does not belong anywhere, is nothing more than a prey that can be easily dealt with. That was common sense. That was where we were in the food chain. That''s right. That''s correct, but... . Only one. There is something Guntafer is mistaken about. "I''m sorry, but I''m pretty popular." "What nonsense is that... huh!? You guys!" Guntafer, who was talking, suddenly raised his voice. "Hmm. Who''s going to cut off whose head? He promised to be my apostle. In other words, a player sponsored by the demon world." Beriel intervened. "Is this guy going to be the black apostle of the demon world?" "Yes. Sado? Me? Me?" This time, both were surprised at the same time. Ah right. What if I became an apostle to lure this guy out of the battle with Shubniguras? It was a lie that didn''t even make sense to me, so I forgot about it. As a bonus, the memory of selling Cheonyuseong was also very faint. "So you better get rid of that hand. Unless you want to go to war with me." "Beriel... you filthy fallen angel! Aren''t you overly arrogant just because the Demon God seems to like you a little bit? No one knows, but I know that you will betray us at any moment." "Betrayal That''s a very difficult thing to hear." "What are you going to do with a turtle?" "Somehow. I''m going to cut off the head and hang it in front of my gates." Pachit! Pants... ! The air suddenly changed even heavier. If a war of nerves between the divinities spread to battle, he did not know what kind of catastrophe would happen. Even more so if you are in a situation where you can use your own power perfectly. However, mana, who had gone to the extreme, did not come to an end. "Come on! You''ve been waiting for a long time. I''m a little late because I have a lot to prepare." A beast with the appearance of a cute rabbit suddenly appeared in the center. At the same time as announcing the start of the auction, Beliel shrugged and stepped back. "Are you running away?" "Unlike you, I am quite interested in this auction. Don''t waste your energy and enjoy the auction in a relaxed manner. If you want to raise your stupid apostle, shouldn''t you get something from this auction?" " .. this rotten bastard ." Guntafer clenched his fist. However, it didn''t go any further than that. It was because it was also important to grow the apostles as Beriel said. "Everyone. Seems to have calmed down, so let''s start the long-awaited auction. The first thing I''d like to introduce is a hot new product I just got on the 45th floor of the tower a week ago!" Let the rabbit snap his fingers. A huge glass box appeared on the empty floor. There were claws over 3m stored in it, It is the claw of ''Behemoth'', one of the ancient species. Like a beast of enormous size, its size was beyond imagination with just a part of its claws. "Behemoth." "It''s an ancient species that''s hard to see, is it on the 45th floor?" "Yongke also found traces of it." Swallowing the island is no joke. 700 million in basic bidding magic stones alone. However, with the addition of the divinities, the unit of the Magic Stone changed in an instant. "10 billion!" "1.5 billion!" "Three billion!" "Eight billion!" Behemoth''s claws would be the best material for making weapons or armor. However, it is at a level that I do not even dare to intervene at all. "Are you doing well, kid? Ah! Well, I guess I have nothing else to do but look around. It''s not like you''re a bum like you. Hahahaha!" Guntafer went mad. However, Jinhyuk remained silent. " " That was not the purpose of coming here in the first place. "Pandora''s box has been sold to Hermes from Olympus!" "The transcendental magic stone has been successfully bid by Gabriel from Eden!" "The heart of the element has been successfully bid by Yuasis, who came as a representative of the spirit world!" A non-stop auction. How much time has passed? "Okay, the next thing I''d like to introduce is...!" The auction item that will be the highlight of this auction has appeared. finally came out Ugh... . Jinhyuk slowly opened the subspace inventory. CH 345 The Great Powers of the Upper Class (3) "Oh." "indeed ." "It''s more than I expected." "Is that already finished?" Exclamations broke out everywhere. A girl with blue hair stood where everyone''s eyes gathered. An empty pupil that lost focus and a slender body. In contrast, thick golden chains were tightly binding their arms and legs. Jinhyuk''s eyes also narrowed. A card that will be the highlight of this auction and a key force in the fight against the powers of the divinities in the future. It is a masterpiece ''Homunculus'', which is said to be the finished product of alchemists. Since there is no emotion, there is no hesitation in getting rid of life. His basic combat skills are also very good. In fact, the homunculus plays a fairly important role in the middle and second half of the Tower of Trials. ''That first product is that girl.'' aka Alpha. Unlike items that are usually improved over time, the quality of homunculus is superior the earlier it is made. This is because ''Philosopher''s stone'', a key material for making homunculus, was used the most. "Huhu. Everyone''s reaction is good! But, as we all know, this auction cannot be successful simply because it has a lot of money." okay. I guess so. If it had been a problem that could be solved with money, the divinities would have sent only their own representatives to issue blank checks. Because there are so many albums out there who only have coins and magic stones. Above all, the person who hosted this auction is a coin and a magic crystal, so I have no particular interest in it. The host, who felt his eyes were focused, continued. "A bid is a minimum condition. And in order to win the bid, you have to be chosen by the homunculus here. Oh! The choice isn''t a big deal, just make her kneel. Homunculus only recognizes the strong as its owner." In a word, you have to make that emotionless doll obey itself. right then "It''s fun." A large man stood up among the divinities. kuung! It shakes left and right just by getting up. Bursting muscles and hands bigger than a tiger. Hercules is said to be the greatest hero of Greece. kwaang! Hercules left his seat and jumped to the center of the auction house at once. With his swift movements like a squirrel unsuitable for his size. "Is this what this little boy is going to be a combat weapon that surpasses the Titan in the future? Hmm. Bump! Hercules'' huge hand gripped the homunculus'' head. "Acknowledge me as your master. If you refuse, I will smash that head." " " His blue hair was rough, but the homunculus still didn''t move. In the first place, the emotion of fear itself does not reside in both eyes. "I''m sorry, Hercules. You do not deserve her approval." "Are you saying I''m not qualified?" "No. It''s just ." The presenter shrugged. "The homunculus does not recognize the divinities as masters. Not even Hercules, but anyone else." Alchemists'' work made from Philosopher''s stone. Because, mana of divinity is of no use. "So all the divinities brought their own ''Apostles''." The apostles are the representatives. Those who receive the Blessing and mana of the divinities and execute their will. Whoops. Shh. As if waiting, the apostles arose here and there. and. Olympus was the first to move as if to succeed Hercules. "Medesus. Were you the apostle that Hermes brought?" "Yes. I have heard about the homunculus from him." "Is it possible? You only get one chance." "Of course. I will definitely bring that homunculus for Olympus." He is 190 cm tall and has a strong muscular body. Medesus, with his brown hair hanging down to his shoulders, drew his sword. Sreung! Sword light was scattered, and free mana unique to Greece rose. "Hmm. Good. Let''s try to believe it." Hercules nodded and took a step back. Medesus glanced at the presenter. "If the condition of obedience is to bring you to the knees, how far are the means and methods allowed?" "You can attack. It''s okay to use other things. "You won''t even have to go there." Papa! The sword of Medesus is gone. It was a blow loaded with both weight and speed as if it would cut off the entire leg. However. Kaaan! The homunculus, who had not yet moved, moved for the first time. Suddenly, the 1m-long spear held in both hands drew a circle like a pinwheel. At the same time, the homunculus leapt behind the podium, trying to take a breath. "Remnants!" Medesus immediately closed the distance. The gap between the two was less than 30 cm by extending the right foot greatly forward. Kaka Kaka Kang! In an instant, dozens of attacks crossed. It was a sword attack that was difficult for everyone to respond to. But. "How could this be how?" As time passed, Medesus'' face darkened little by little. Obviously, it was you who was raging like a storm. The opponent was just in a hurry to receive it. Yet how did it happen The delicate balance showed no sign of breaking. Aww wow! The vertical strike stopped just above the homunculus'' forehead. blocked again. Both strength and technique were superior, but one decisive shot was lacking. "Wow!" " " The homunculus, who crossed the javelin and blocked, escaped from the gap of Medesus this time as well. "Don''t just run away, fight back!" If I went any further, that would mean killing, not testing. However, there were too many eyes to see the tail. Even if Hercules is furious, wouldn''t it be possible to lower the rank of Olympus in a place where many powers gather? If I can''t have it here, I''d rather just kill it so no one else can have it. then . A blue energy lingered in Medesus'' arms. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo The fierce light increased its momentum. The idea is to see the end at once through the uniqueness window. [Medesus activates the Unique Spear ''Unengaged Rift''!] "I''m definitely not going to kill...!" In response to the sudden action, the host stepped forward. However, Medesus'' attack was faster by one tempo. KwaKwaKwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwak! space cut series. The flame-infused air was still stuck to the spot where the sword had passed. It is a sign of how quickly the attack was made. However. Chi profit! The homunculus even survived the attack. A long sword image was subtly twisted around the ground where she was standing, probably because she had traversed the track with a spear. "What the hell happened to him? On the subject of dolls..." Mesesus muttered in a dismayed voice. Maybe it''s because I never imagined that I could even stop this. "Stop it. If it''s strange, it could keep Olympus from attending our auction house forever." The atmosphere that had been heated up only after the host gave the threat calmed down. Of course, the heads of the divinities who watched the battle just before began to be filled with completely different imaginations. "It''s it''s definitely amazing." "I''ll stop the Olympus side''s apostle from activating the Unique Spear." "It''s the first homunculus... I''m more and more covetous." Equivalent to the higher apostles No, it''s a weapon that might be even better. It must be obtained even for the struggle for power in the upper echelons. That was the common thought of all who gathered here. "Stupid Greeks, that''s the limit. Aren''t you showing this kind of ugliness because you accept a middle-aged late 20th-century resident as an apostle? The demon world proves that you deserve it." Guntafer went mad. "Cantura!" At Guntafer''s command, an old man in a black robe appeared this time. Demon Clan who lives in the late 30s. His skinny body with two short horns was quite impressive. "Quick. I admit it''s a bit quick, but it''s not my opponent anyway. I''ll finish it in a minute." When the minimum bid was paid, Cantura pulled out a pair of curved swords. fault! With the sound of rubbing the ground, Cantura sprinted forward. Kaka-ga-ga-gak! The speed of almost space movement. If only Medesus had foreseen strength and skill a while ago. Cantura aimed at the blind spot with a movement specialized in assassination. " " Homunculus still received a surprise attack from his opponent with an expressionless face. Kaang! Kang! once. twice. And three times... . Again the battle began to lengthen. seven already. The apostles of the divinities tried one after another, but none failed to bring the homunculus to the knees. Even if the top Apostles could not come due to the war on each floor. It resulted in absurd results. "That''s it..." "It''s the whole fruit across the river." "I didn''t know that even the Apostle of Eden would be defeated. It''s a really great Master grade." The surprise of the homunculus flowed from everyone''s mouth. Of course, there was also the bitter aftertaste of not getting it. ''Hmm Also, as expected.'' The host patted his chin with a small hand. The highlight of this episode, the homunculus, was an auction item that could not be obtained by simply trying to print it by force. If you thought a little more deeply about ''Philosopher''s Stone'', alchemy, and the trait of being the first... . If that was the case, I thought there would be one force that could attack... . There seems to be no force that has the potential to win the bid. ''It seems to be here.'' The host raised his hand to signal the end of the auction. But right then. someone stepped out This is Jinhyuk Jinhyuk, who was constantly watching the situation and preparing for something, finally moved. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo The subspace inventory was opened, and an item to be paid for admission came out. "Ha! Is it just a bracelet after doing something? As for such a silly treasure..." Guntafer, who was talking, stopped. This is no ordinary bracelet. An ancient kingdom that disappeared buried in the sand. It is an advanced relic that can only be obtained there. It''s clear that someone who has this... You must be the headmaster of the former Ataraxia? I don''t know why it''s here, but what''s certain is that the lowest bid at auction was enough. chuck. Jinhyuk grabbed his fangs. Just like the apostles have been doing. It seemed that he was trying to subdue the homunculus through battle. ''I said something a little different... This man is the same.'' The presenter shattered the expectations he had held for a while. this guy and that guy If you look at taking out the weapon first, the result is minimal. But. The disappointment was short-lived. ''Oh?'' The presenter''s mouth opened slightly. The cute rabbit ears perked up. A sweet scent that spreads towards the tip of the nose. no doubt Philosopher''s stone. Exactly, by melting a replica of Philosopher''s stone He sprayed it on his own body. "...!?" The homunculus'' blue eyes narrowed very slightly. That''s the start. CH 346 The Great Powers of the Upper Levels (4) Philosopher''s stone. By itself, it is close to an all-rounder, and the things that can be done using it are limitless. Literally, to alchemists, it is a holy relic called the crystal of a dream. and. Jinhyuk made a replica of it for the auction of this round. ''I really did go through a bit of high school.'' How to make Philosopher''s stone in the first place is advanced information that only a few alchemists know. Needless to say, there were a lot of ingredients to prepare. ''It would not have been possible without the voluntary help of everyone.'' Jinhyuk remembered the past, even briefly. Blacksmith Orun also bullied Grandpa... He also robbed Alice''s treasury. He had a truly spectacular time as he ordered the spirit beasts to gather materials from various places inside the tower. ''The effect is... Are you sure.'' The red liquid on his wrist shone softly. As the sweet scent rose, the homunculus'' pupils began to tremble sharply. He felt the same energy as his source. bonding. Yes. This bond is absolutely necessary to gain obedience from the first homunculus. The rest of the divinities failed because they tried to achieve it with their own strength, but Jinhyuk saw exactly what the host wanted. Now all that''s left is... . It''s just the right combination of bonding and skill. "Whoa..." Jinhyuk took a deep breath. The mana in his body circulated gently, and the blades of his fangs were covered in blue. [The unique ability ''Heavenly Demon'' is activated!] Moment. kukuku kuk kook! A great energy surged. The Heavenly Demon in its heyday is one of the absolutes that even the divinities could not take care of. Therefore, his native Mugong was enough to arouse awe by itself. "I knew that you were active in Moorim but did you mean that you also learned the new Heavenly Demon?" "But that''s it. The unique Holy Spear didn''t work at all, but even if it''s a Heavenly Demon god, the result doesn''t change." "It''s true. No matter how much you inherited Mugong from the Heavenly Demon, considering the period of time, your status will not be high." The divinities each uttered a word. Most were negative. It''s a matter of course. It was unmistakable that Jinhyeok was an excellent player, but that was within the scope limited to that level. Compared to the apostles they had chosen and chosen, they could not say that I was exceptional. However. A few of the few divinities had completely opposite ideas. "Huh." The corners of Beliel''s lips went up. " " " " Thor and Loki, who have been representing Northern Europe, also observed Jinhyeok with careful eyes. "Heh. There''s no way that terrifying bastard can''t handle just one of those things." Anubis also snorted. They are all divinities who have experienced Jinhyuk directly or have many memories. At least they believed something was going to happen. The air gradually tightens. It was Jinhyuk who stopped the start. Heavenly Demon reigns. kwaang! With deep footprints on the ground. Jinhyuk''s body disappeared like the wind. "...!" The homunculus immediately swung the spear. A pair of spears drew a pinwheel, as it has always been. Kaka Kaka! The fangs approached from the side were thrown away. Again, it''s not that hard. ''Given two or three fakes, it''s not worth it.'' Jinhyuk raised the new Heavenly Demon even more. fault! I wondered if I could hear the sound of the ground rubbing. Suddenly, Jinhyuk appeared from the other side. ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong (ħʹ)''. ''The first ceremony (һʽ).'' ''The Black Ring of Heukryun Rock''! Aww! A blow aimed at the back. However, the homunculus blew that attack away. As if he had deflected the unique holy lance of Medesus. Instead of receiving a strong attack head-on, he adhered to the method of dispersing the power. "Yeah, I knew it was going to be like that." "I''ll just delay the time and wait for the host to stop." "It''s really tough. There are dolls that dodge attacks so well." The negative reaction soon solidified into conviction. The fight is over. But. Even while everyone was arguing, Jinhyuk just caught a glimpse of something in the previous battle. ''great.'' Although it is an imitation, the scent emanating from the ''Philosopher''s Stone'' stimulates the homunculus. microscopically. The opponent was slow to react. A sensation from your fingertips. A little bit faster... . If you sharpen it a little more. [The unique ability ''High-Speed Sword'' is activated!] [The unique ability ''Shadow Kill (Ӱؽ)'' is activated!] kwaang! Kaka Kaka! Jinhyuk swung his fangs all over the place. Riding through the shadows and shadows, the attack speed due to the high-speed sword in it was doubled faster. Now, the trajectory of the dagger is to the point of blurring it. " Eww." A short moan escaped the mouth of the homunculus, who was frantically defending the attack. It is now! The point where the field of view and the field of view intersect. Jinhyuk lowered the tempo of his attack by one level. ''Glacier modeling'' ''Bingok Kaleidoscope'' Pants! A thin layer of frost began to rise along the ground. The cold dulled the senses. As the body temperature dropped, the body began to hallucinate. The small mouth of the homunculus opened blankly. "Ah !" A brief moan turned into a deep groan. He slowly raised his hand as if he had been enchanted by the splendid and beautiful sight he had seen for the first time in his life. [The ''Imitated Philosopher''s Stone'' deepens the bond with the target.] [''Communication ability'' is activated!] [The unique ability ''Mentra Timing'' is activated!] Successive status windows. The abilities he had accumulated so far shone. "iced coffee ." The agitation of the homunculus grew even greater. The stamina was exhausted due to the continuous battle. A situation in which the mind is confused with various communicative abilities. ''Bingok Kaleidoscope'' as a point of fire Being trapped inside, you will have no choice but to be confused. And the gap . Jinhyuk digs right into it. tuk. The tip of the fangs touched the homunculus'' neck. A drop of red liquid from Philosopher''s stone ran down his throat. The two''s eyes met face-to-face. Blue eyes that seemed to be sucked into Jinhyuk turned towards him. "I can''t roast or boil things with verbose words." I''d like to give you the best treatment. I can''t say that I''ll give you a position beyond a doll if you join our forces. "But I don''t want to force you to obey by threatening." There is no such thing as loyalty to the obedience that you simply take and press. Even if the subject is an emotionless being. "But, I can promise you one thing. At least if you''re with me, I won''t ever use you as a scumbag on my side." Jinhyuk quietly retrieved the sword that touched his neck. There was no rejection response. This would mean positive. In fact, the mana emitted from the homunculus had completely disappeared. "From today on, I am your master." "master." The homunculus carefully pondered the words. tuk. That''s when my knees touched the ground. Blue hair ran gently down her neck. With that, the owner of the homunculus was determined. The inside of the auction house was turned upside down by Jinhyuk and Homunculus. I thought someone would take the homunculus, but it was because I never imagined that it would be a player. "Come on. Great divinities. The auction is over. The organizers don''t want any more fuss, so why don''t you just walk away?" If the host didn''t stop him at the right time, all the divinity might eat Jinhyeok alive. So, this was a huge event. When the organizers said that the auction had ended, everyone withdrew as if regretful. So a little quiet place. Where the divinities have disappeared, only the apostles who follow them remain. Medesus, who had been representing Olympus, approached Jinhyuk. "...this is the first time I''ve ever talked to him in person. I''m Medesus, a resident who wore Blessing to Hermes and became his apostle." A ranker with a unique holy spear. It''s quite refreshing to see them up close. Originally, this guy had to reach the second half of the 20th floor to have a chance to meet him once or twice. "I was very impressed with what happened a while ago. To be honest, I didn''t expect such a talented person to climb the tower from below the middle class." From the point of view of the apostles, the current players are youngsters who have tasted the tower. Compared to them, it means that they still have 10 more years to roll before they can have a conversation. "There are quite a few talented people down there. Besides me." "Yeah. I''m going to pay attention to the lower part from now on. In that sense... can you tell me what floor of the tower you are staying on?" "The order was a little bit twisted, but I''m going to the 19th floor this time." "It''s on the 19th floor..." Medesus nodded slightly. "It must have been a long way before we met again. Hurry up and come up. I look forward to the day we will fight together on the upper floors of the tower someday." "Yeah. I don''t know if it will be an enemy or an ally, but I''ll be looking forward to it." Building a relationship with Medesus will surely come in handy in the future. All the work at the auction house was finished with a brief greeting. It was only hours later that he returned to reality. Beriel This leech-like bastard was biting and drooping like crazy, and I thought I was going to die from pulling it off. "Sit down in moderation. First of all, it''s a place I''m using as my home outside the tower. Don''t worry about the cost of staying outside the tower, as I got it from Alice''s wallet." "all right." The homunculus looked around the hotel room and sat down on the sofa. ''First, let''s check how much it is.'' Jinhyuk activated ''Eyes of Gluttony'' and checked the status window of the homunculus. T-tiring! Name: Homunculus Gender: Female Age: 1 year old Level: 195 Strength 53 Dexterity 85 Stamina 76 mana 62 Sage''s Blessing 368 Stat Points you have: 0 Occupation: Spearman Unique Ability: Play Dolls skill: ''Two Spears'' Lv29, ''One Thousand and One Nights'' Lv28, ''Motion Capture'' Lv27, ''mana breath'' Lv21, ''Painful Wounds'' Lv21 . [Speciality: The owner who once had a master-slave relationship does not betray under any circumstances. If certain conditions are met, the ''Unique Holy Spear'' can be opened.] crazy . What kind of absurd specs do you have? Even though it was made fresh now, the base level is close to 200. However, the surprising thing was not simply because the basic specifications were high. ''The sage''s Blessing stat is a whopping 368.'' The highest stat that can only be obtained by clearing special conditions such as gaps or adaptive. He was able to open even his own holy spear, so the bonanza really rolled in. Jinhyuk barely swallowed the cheers that erupted. At the same time, I wanted to give something for this lucky lump. "You don''t have a name right now? A name. That the word that calls you." "Your name you mean? In my original place, they called me Homunculus." "Hmm. Yeah? You can''t keep calling me like that, so I''ll give you a proper name. Even from this point of view, my naming sense is amazing." "It would be an honor to be a Primary God with any name." The homunculus nodded quickly in a slightly recalled voice. Hmm. Let''s see. What name should I give it so that I can remember it for a long time? CH 347 Hidden Place on the 19th floor (1) Jinhyuk looked into the homunculus''s eyes. His blue eyes twinkled as if they were being sucked in. Hmm . There is only one name you can come up with no matter how you think of it. Jinhyuk''s mouth opened slowly. "Fray." "Fray...?" "Yeah. I''ll call you Frey from now on." "Good that''s a name. I like it." Frey nodded slightly. I see that you are mistaken for something special... . I do feel a little sorry. pray (to pray) It''s called prayer meta. It was named to commemorate a miracle that occurred properly in the lucky game. ''At first, I was going to call it mincho, which is an abbreviation for mint chocolate, but I think Frey would be better. There seems to be.'' I''m glad Frey said he liked the name too. But right then. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo The ''Braham''s Ring'' on his right hand moved violently. at the same time. A different level of heat from before covered his entire body. Maybe this reaction... ? Whoops! It was Elise with her eyes raised up that appeared with the flames. "Elise?" "This... this... this! Stupid contractor! Why did you pick up these things again!" Elise screamed as if it would destroy the entire hotel at any moment. It''s a high frequency so sharp that it tingles your ears. "Did I do something wrong?" Frey tilted her head. "No, you didn''t do anything wrong. And Elise. Calm down and listen to me. No, put that skewer in. What the hell are you doing in the Sacred Hotel?" If Jinjo''s unique ability is activated here, the hotel will be turned to dust. Needless to say, it''s on the 9 o''clock news. "Explain it. Briefly. Summarize it in three lines." Elise managed to swallow the rage that erupted. It''s a natural story, but that''s what I''m holding on to. more than 3 lines. If we don''t persuade them, we will destroy the earth. "Fray is an auxiliary agent for battle. It''s also very good. Besides, it''s a homunculus, so you don''t have to absorb nutrients through your meals, so you don''t have to worry about how much you eat." Jinhyuk gave explanations like a rapid-fire cannon. A wonderfully coherent and objective summary. However. "My, did you think I was doing this because of rice? Seriously... did you only think of me that way?" "Huh? Wasn''t it?" Just looking at it, I thought you were the happiest when you put a lot of food in your cheeks. So, wasn''t that why you actively discouraged new members of the military from coming? Jinhyuk rolled his eyes. and on that look. "You fool!" Elise''s silver hair stood up in a crooked state. This is unusual. Mana coming up from the end of the abyss couldn''t even fathom how deep it was. "Ellie s?" "die!" Aww! The entire hotel floor was engulfed in huge flames. The 19th floor of the Tower of Trials. In the spectacle of a huge waterfall flowing, several figures began to appear one by one. "The time came like a sword." Jinhyuk waved his hand toward the approaching man. "Damn. Why did you choose a place like this? Give me a map from the beginning. I mean, I''ve been wandering for hours." Cheon Yoosung grunted and complained. Wet stones are quite slippery. It would not have been easy to come to this place because it is located in a remote place even on the 19th floor. On the other hand. "Still, thanks to Jinhyuk, I can see all these places." Teresa looked around curiously. Soft mist and a beautiful rainbow rising below the waterfall. There were three or three cute monsters that I had never seen before, and they were playing pranks. Just looking at the scenery made me mistakenly thinking that they all came to famous overseas tourist destinations together. "By the way, Mr. Jinhyuk. Who is next to you?" Theresa pointed to the girl next to Jinhyuk. With long blue hair hanging down. Holding a short spear. It was a person I had never met before. "Call me Frey." "It''s not a player " "I''m not even a resident. The energy I feel on my body is different. Is it a summoned beast... or a doll?" A quick glance. "That''s right. Homunculus. A creature created through alchemy. We met by chance while going upstairs." "Isn''t it just... he was just playing?" Cheon Yoo-seong, who had added a word, nodded as if he understood. "That''s why Mr. Ellis isn''t showing up. I wondered why I couldn''t see him. It was for that reason." "Huh? That''s right. They told me to leave it alone for a while. But how did you know that?" "Uh-huh. He seems like a dull guy... it''s okay. I shouldn''t talk." Cheon Yu-seong clicked his tongue as if he was more tired. It was a time when we were asking each other how to say goodbye and chatting little things. multifaceted. multifaceted. From far away, the sound of horseshoes began to resound. is it finally coming Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. The rest of the people turned their heads in the direction of the sound. After a while, a familiar figure appeared through the trees. four legs. The upper body is a woman. And a resident whose lower body is shaped like a deer. It is the ''Euasis'' of the Dryad race. I''ve already met her once at a masquerade. For this raid, I specifically asked him to contact me. This is because the ruins on the 19th floor cannot even be entered without the permission of the residents belonging to the third power. "Nice to meet you. Jinhyuk Kang player. And it''s been a long time since I''ve seen the rest of you." Yuasis smiled brightly. "Thank you for taking the time on purpose. I didn''t know if I would have to give up the raid itself if I said no." "No. We also had to investigate this place recently, and the timing was just right." investigation? here? "Something was there a problem?" When Jinhyuk asked carefully, Yuasis''s face darkened slightly. "Remember not long ago, when there was a huge mana wave all over the tower?" If it''s a mana that covers the entire tower... . 50th floor. This is the story of when Shub Niguras and the black goats came out downstairs. "I know." "At that time, something also changed in this ruins. It must be because I was influenced by such a heterogeneous mana." Yuasis stared over the waterfall with a complicated face. As a player, I can''t feel it, but she seems to feel a sense of incongruity as she belongs to the third power. "Come in. I''ll be able to guide you halfway through." Yuasis walked towards the waterfall. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A black cave can be seen through the pouring water. This is the entrance to the inside of the ruins. only. To enter it, certain conditions must be met. ''I also tried to enter without thinking before and died many times.'' Yuasis picked up a stone and threw it into the cave. OK. Kaga... go go go go! Traces of a centipede had begun to appear on the surface of the stone. "This is what happens when you just try to get in. Thanks to that, we were able to avoid interference from the outside." "Then, how do we get in safely?" "Please wait." Pants! Yuasis injected mana into a staff made of vines. Runes appeared along the blue mana. The typified mana rotated gently along the entrance to the cave. right at that moment. [The 10-star barrier ''water seal'' is released!] [SS-class curse ''Vortex of Doom'' is canceled!] [Optical illusions and hallucinations disappear.] Status window that appears in succession. The obstacles surrounding the entrance to the cave disappeared at once. also. For this reason, in order to attack these ruins, the existence of Euasis is essential. I don''t know how the interior has changed with Shub Niguras... . You will soon be able to see the inside story. Everyone entered the ruins, with Uasis at the forefront. like that. Darkness engulfed my vision. hot and A hot breeze hit my skin. "!" "here is ?" Cheon Yu-seong and Teresa covered her face with both hands. Even when I''m still, my breath is suffocating and my whole body feels like it''s going to burn. desert No, it''s hotter and drier than that. " " Only Frey looked around with an expressionless face. "It can be a bit difficult for players. The temperature rises to 70 degrees during the day and drops to minus 100 degrees at night. You can protect your body to some extent with mana, but you''ll need to arrange it properly." I guess so. You should be here for at least a week. Mana and physical fitness are essential virtues. But that was then. "Something. There is." Frey looked around and opened his mouth. Half-tempo slow, Cheon Yuseong also sensed its presence. "In the sand. The number is about ten. Are they the predators that live here?" "It''s a sandworm. If you see them living near the entrance, they''re pushed out of the food chain, so don''t worry too much. They''ll pop up exactly 3 seconds after you feel the vibration under your feet, so let''s aim for that moment together." "Player Jinhyuk Kang how do you know all that?" As Jinhyuk explained fluently, Yuasis opened her eyes wide. "I once attacked a dungeon in a similar environment from the bottom of the tower." "Ah... but between there and here..." "come!" The sand shook violently with Teresa''s cry. kukuku kuk kook! 1 second, 2 seconds... 3 seconds. "Koooooooh!" "Kie-ee!" A huge mouth was revealed from the sand cracked left and right. A sandworm with hundreds of teeth tried to swallow them whole. However. In the first place, they chose the wrong prey. [The unique ability ''Song of the Sword'' is activated!] Scratch! Sandworm''s body was torn to pieces. "It''s been chasing from the start. That''s why I''m just tired of following you." As Cheon Yu-seong swung his sword lightly, green body fluid from the blade was scattered. "Kee!" The sandworms immediately changed their target. Sand spurted out in all directions. The intention is to block the view and attack in between. of course. [The unique ability ''Star Blessing'' is activated!] That attempt also failed. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Light falling from the sky. A holy unique ability devoured the Sandworms alive. Chi profit! Without even screaming, the bodies of the sandworms disappeared as ashes. "There''s no time to be bored on a desert trip." Regardless, they are still strong colleagues. Because the monsters that inhabit here were far stronger than the other places. maybe . This member should be able to go deep enough into the ruins. Some places may not be formidable, but if you prepare properly, there are plenty of possibilities. Jinhyuk''s gaze turned to a faraway place in the desert. ''The crown the Heavenly Demon threw away must be here somewhere... .'' Attacking the ruins was also important, but the first goal was to retrieve the crown. The time has finally come to acquire one of the most important relics in the Tower of Trials. CH 348 Hidden Place on the 19th floor (2) the crown of doom. A relic that only the most violent and militant can possess. This crown has always caused great turmoil in the tower. Because more than half of the major incidents inside the tower were related to the change of the owner of this crown. so that. Jinhyuk was moving to get the crown faster than anyone else. This is because if the forces at the upper floors knew this information, they would flock to the 19th floor like a swarm of bees. and currently. In the sand dunes of the desert located on the 19th floor... . Two shadows face each other. " " Skinny height up to 2 m. The tail of the mouth raised pleasantly. At first glance, it looks like a famous movie star. However, it is only a means to eliminate the sense of incongruity when roaming the human world. The image of the body kept in the shell was far from pleasant, but it was far from it. Nyarlathotep. A messenger and messenger serving Azatos. Except for the manager, it is the only divinity of 50 floors that can float freely on the floor of the tower. Before that... . There was an old gentleman wearing a fedora hat and one-eyed glasses. The white beard suits him so well. That''s right, the owner of the top and the middle manager of the tower. It was Rick Hennessy. "It was a mistake to come down here shortly after work. I''d rather send an agent or use another manager." Rick didn''t hide his displeasure. "Kick. Gosh, I must have offended the great Rick Hennessy." Then Nyarlathotep let out a loud shrieking sound. I shrugged and buried myself on the soft sofa in the middle of the room. Don''t forget to pour a full glass of nice wine. "Would you like a sip? No, didn''t you drink that strange coffee?" "If it''s alcohol, I''ll decline. Answer that. Nyarlathotep Why did you leave the Crown of Doom without immediately recovering it?" "Ah that?" Nyarlathotep, who was asked a sharp question, touched the wine in the glass with his fingers. keep going! At that moment, all the wine in the glass was sucked through my fingers. "I wanted to retrieve it quickly, too, but my mother told me to leave it as entertainment." "You mean you wanted to show some respect for Heavenly Demon?" "Maybe, it was simply interesting. In the first place, in front of my mother, the residents living downstairs couldn''t even think of it as an opponent." "That''s also true." Rick nodded as if he understood. "Is that person better than that? Was it Kang Jin-hyuk? I know that you are the person you cherish, but you are hindering our plans more than you think. "I''ve built up a close enough friendship with Kang Jin-hyuk. His target must be limited to Hasting. We''ve already spread information about him through Gabriel." "Hey. Did you even include the Eden side?" "No. She doesn''t know the story. She just believes that Hasting is behind all of this." Rick waved his hand lightly into the air. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo A space that had never been seen before, beyond imagination, opened, and countless items were revealed. "It smells good." Rick took a deep taste of the coffee. "Hwiyu! Looking back, your subspace abilities are amazing. I must say that your mother''s statement that you own the tower itself was not exaggerated at all." Nyarlathotep, who was whistling, added a word. "By the way, Hasting will pass out when he finds out about this. You firmly believe that you are the only one who has been chosen by us? You should have seen that crouching, too." "He has to believe he''s in control. I like being one step back." "That''s right. That''s right. It''s also more manageable." "This is enough for a chattering conversation. Be sure to retrieve the crown this time, Nyarlathotep. If things go wrong any longer, you too will pay the price." "Don''t worry. Because we''ve already recruited talented people. You''re the one who doesn''t let the Necronomicon fall into that human hand. no." "Okay. I''ll take that part separately." "Okay. I''m only counting on you, Mr. Eternal Companion." Nyarlathotep also filled the wine glass with a happy face. Whew! A sandy wind blew with a gust of wind. A storm mixed with small grains of sand is a threat on its own. In fact, most of the monsters that inhabit here also burrowed into their nests during storms, so they couldn''t even see their noses. "It''s really, really great." Cheon Yuseong looked out and muttered. Temporary base arrived under the guidance of Yuasis. The caves filled with stalactites made a great refuge from the storm. "On the 19th floor, I''m really glad that we can keep the food we brought from outside in our subspace inventory. We won''t be out until the storm stops anyway. In the meantime, I''ll serve you some nice French cuisine." Teresa rolled up her arms as if to show off her skills. Marbling beef, Mediterranean sea urchin and lobster. And even fine red wine. At a glance, unusual materials appeared one after another. When the spicy tomato sauce, Arrabiata sauce, was served on the scallops and shrimp meat, the mouth-watering aroma pierced the tip of my nose. what is this Did you come to raid? I can''t even tell if I''m here to film a mukbang. Even Alice, who had been completely frozen, could feel her screaming in the ring. I don''t know if I can get rid of the protruding thing if I do well. While the cooking is going on in such a hurry. Jinhyuk approached Yuasis. "Mr. Euasis." "Yes?" "Wait, I have a question for you, do you have time?" "Oh, yes, of course. What is it?" Yuasis, who was in a bread position with her legs rolled up, smiled brightly. "Nothing else, but I have a question about where we are going this time." "It''s the sand dunes of the sun." Hidden place ''Sun Dunes'' on the 19th floor. It is a place where the sun does not set 365 days a year. As if to prove the saying that it is the place where all the light gathers. As we went inside, the temperature rose tremendously. ''Because there is a saying that the deepest part is comparable to the sun.'' I''ve been to this place in the past, but I''ve never been able to get to the deepest point. At that time, there was no goal of being a crown. Because there was something much more interesting than attacking the dunes of the sun. "You need a map with the rooms in the sand dunes written on it." "...if it''s a map...?" "I know it has been passed down from generation to generation through the Dryad race, as a tool for the guardians of the forest to carry out their duties." Due to the characteristic of sand dunes, objects with strong mana tend to suck inward. If there was a crown, it would be in the deepest part of the current sand dunes. In order to find the crown within a limited time, you must have a map with the inside of it written on it. "Really there is nothing that Jinhyuk Kang doesn''t know. How do you know all the secrets of our clan?" "I''m sorry, but I can''t tell you. What''s more important is not the source of the information, but what the information can solve... that''s the key." At Jinhyuk''s words, Yuasis paused for a moment. If it was a normal case, even if there was a limit to drawing a weapon, I had to figure out the source of the secret. Could there be a spy inside? Either that or I had to figure out if there was a hole somewhere. But. Those aren''t top priorities. At least now, as Jinhyuk said. You must use the information given to you to complete the mission. "okay." Yuasis pulled out a flower that had been stuck in her hair. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo The petals faded, and they grew bigger and bigger... . Soon, a huge map made of petals appeared. All rooms and locations in the dunes of the sun are listed. ''great.'' Jinhyuk clenched his fists as if satisfied. It will make finding the crown much easier. But right then. " uh?" Yuasis suddenly raised her head. "what''s going on?" "That, that..." A face that suddenly collapses. There was a deep embarrassment in the shaking pupil. I had no choice but to do so. The dryads she placed outside the waterfall were dying even as we were talking now. "The sisters all what kind of bastards do something so cruel ." Yuasis muttered blankly. It was unfortunate that all of his colleagues died, but there is something more serious than that. Jinhyuk''s mind was spinning rapidly. ''It''s not just players or residents who came to visit the ruins.'' If that was the case, I would have either faced the Dryads and tried to talk, or I would have given up on raiding. It is undoubtedly true that the ruins are attractive. That''s the story when the output comes out compared to the effort. There''s no reason to go inside until you''ve slaughtered the clan of the forest. That is. Unless you have something to gain even if you risk it all. ''Hasting... Did you know about the crown?'' Other than that it didn''t make sense. have to hurry You have to move right now... do. The meal was delayed, and instead, Jinhyuk told everyone about what had just happened. "I understand what''s going on. So, let''s get through that storm? Are you sane?" "Mr. Jinhyuk..." Cheon Yoo-sung and Teresa expressed their displeasure. "...the chance of surviving will be less than 3%." Frey also calmly told the truth. Aside from the fact that the view was completely blocked, it was clear that my body would be in tatters in less than 30 minutes if I was digging through that blade of sand. Because there was a limit to protecting the body with mana. "It''s fine. Actually, there''s a way I can get around there too." "Is there a way? Is that real?" "Yeah. There are some restrictions... Now that it''s like this, I''ll have to give it a try." Jinhyuk collected the water droplets on the tip of the stalactite. Pants! When the runic mana was injected, the water droplets began to take on a turquoise color. "What kind of restrictions did you have that you didn''t tell me until now?" "You have to have a really deep hole like mana, but it works. It''s me it''s fine, but I''m a little worried that the rest won''t work." "That''s I can''t just pass it up and listen." Cheon Yoosung raised his eyes. "It sounds like I''m worse than you... Is that really what you mean?" "No, I''m not ignoring you or anything like that, is it because you''re really worried that you''re the only one?" "Sheesh! That''s ignoring me!" Cheon Yu-seong snatched away the water droplets. And immediately activated the ''self-defense force''. A soft light emanated, and Cheon Yu-seong''s body was completely covered with river energy. When the water drop effect was added, an armor that looked quite plausible was created. "Look carefully. I''ll break through that storm before you. Just follow along so you don''t fall behind." Cheonyuseong walked proudly through the sandstorm. "Isn''t Jinhyuk going?" "Wait a minute, let''s wait a minute. Let''s watch for a little bit." Theresa asked, but Jinhyuk didn''t seem to want to move. Instead, he observed Cheon Yu-sung with a careful face. after a while. "Aaaaah! Damn it. Does this really work? Lord, I think I''m going to die...!" The shriek of a heavenly star resounded from beyond the storm. Hmm. I guess it was too much. If Cheon Yu-seong was in pain, I thought I would need a stalactite much older than this. "Thinking about it, it seems that there is a path that allows you to move inside the cave. It''s so old that it''s fuzzy, but it''s probably safer that way." Jinhyuk quickly changed his course. CH 349 Hidden Place on the 19th floor (3) There are thousands of caves in the 19th-floor ruins. A maze where you don''t know where it will lead. Because of that, if I got lost, I would have to wander around here forever and die. sabak. Jinhyuk hastened his steps. ''Hasting... .'' As long as the Yuasis clan outside the ruins were killed, there was no room for hesitation. The rest of the party knew that too, so they speeded up even more. However. "Wait!" Jinhyuk, who had been running frantically, stopped in the spot. "What''s going on?" Yuasis pricked her ears. "There are monsters in front of you. A colony the number is more than about a hundred." "I can''t feel the presence of mana, but are there monsters?" Theresa focused her attention and looked around. However, nothing caught on. "Since it''s half-hibernated, you won''t be caught by mana detection. However, if you get closer than a certain distance, everyone will wake up and attack you." I know of guys with these kinds of traits. Black Scorpion. With a body over 5m, even the speed is fast. The poisonous poison on the tail was so bad that it was difficult to recover even with ''Blessing of the Stars''. It means that it is a different dimension from the Sandworms we have dealt with a while ago, and it is difficult. That number is a whopping one hundred. Even if they broke through, it was clear that time would take. "Then what are we going to do?" "I''m going to make a detour..." Jinhyuk glanced at the side of the aisle. "Isn''t it supposed to be like digging a path with a pickaxe? That''s going to take a year." "Don''t worry. It''s not like that." Jinhyuk slowly approached the wall. ssuk. He scanned the side with his palm. I could feel the cold soil. "Now is the time...!" "Shhh. Wait a minute." Jinhyuk concentrated his mind. How long has it been? Jinhyuk''s steps, who had turned back, stopped once again. "I found it. It''s right here." At first glance, it is an ordinary wall that no one would notice and pass through. But that''s just an optical illusion created by cleverly interlocking shadows. If you look closely, there was a space between them that one person could pass through. "I''ll go in first, so follow me right away. The rest of you too." As Jinhyuk slowly disappeared through the gap, exclamations burst out of the mouths of everyone who was watching. "Ah ." "A place like this..." "I''ve been here several times, but I never knew." Even Yuasis opened her eyes and looked at the place where Jinhyuk entered. Much more humid inside than before. The stinky smell of old stuff stung your nostrils. ''I wanted to avoid this place if possible... .'' I knew about this passage, but I didn''t get it out of my mouth. It was because this was the most dangerous and difficult passage among the passages leading to the dunes of the sun. still. There is only one way to pass within the limited time. And there were things I had to do more than I had decided to come here. [The unique ability ''Primal Flame'' is activated!] Red flames erupted along the tip of the fangs. The dark vision brightened, and the surroundings began to appear. Whoops! A huge space covered with white sand. A strange sense of discomfort stimulates nerves throughout the body. "From here on, everything is full of traps. I can explain where and what things come from, but that would take a lot of time." "In the end, you have to follow where you go." "That''s right. Everyone has excellent physical abilities, so you just have to follow where I''m going." "Damn. Why is it that when I''m with you, I feel like I''m just going through a hard time." Cheon Yuseong grunted and took out the armor he had put in his coat. Tuk! Whoops! Theresa also took off the armor she was wearing. In order to move quickly, it was to make the body as light as possible. Three people in slightly different outfits took a pose. ''It''s been a while since I''ve been here, so I''m a little nervous.'' Even if he turns the wrong way and wakes the sleeping one, it will be a situation in which he might be better off dealing with a hundred Black Scorpions. If I had known that things would be like this... . I thought I''d personally purchase some items through Rick. Rick, the top owner, would have also had an Artifact with lightening magic and anti-presence magic applied. ''The only choice is to be as careful as possible.'' Jinhyuk concentrated mana on both legs. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo When ''The Realm of the Wind'' and ''Sword Demon Cheonryeongbo'' unfold at the same time... . Pot! A gust of wind blew across the sand. quickly. And lightly. Jinhyeok ran on the sand, pondering the memories of the past. The rest of the people followed exactly the path Jinhyuk followed. However. Whoops! Something unusual sounded. The hooves of Euasis, who were running at the end, fell too deeply into the sand. kwaduk! The sound of sand grains being crushed resounded. And at that very moment. kukuku kuk kook! The ground shook violently. The white grains split left and right, and the whole cave began to scream as if it was going away. "U...Asis-san?" "Sorry, I''m sorry. I''m too heavy. I should have gone on a diet..." A deer is a deer, even if it is a slender deer. Due to the trait of his body weighing over 100 kg, it was almost impossible to leave no traces on the sand. [The owner of the passage wakes up!] [[''Fear'' due to the extreme level difference] The effect is activated!] [The level of all players and residents will decrease by 10 steps!] A red status window that appears one after another. What appeared in the sand was a monster that had nothing to say other than that it was huge. In the middle of the cave, an insect over 15m tall appeared like a tall building. Named Guardian ''Ant Ghost''. It is a trap-type monster that hides in the sand dunes and preys on its prey. "It''s dangerous. The survival rate is less than 2%." Frey pulled out a javelin and lifted it. "...sheesh." "In the end, did it become impossible to avoid a fight?" Cheon Yoo-sung and Teresa also pulled out their weapons with hardened faces. The ant ghost looked down. It''s like trying to decide who should be eaten first. And the moment the decision was made, his bright yellow eyes were fixed on Cheonyuseong. "Kieek!" Dozens of teeth opened up, and purple fluid spewed out of the ant ghost''s mouth. An acidic liquid that can turn prey into juice at once. The body fluid that had been scattered extensively went straight to the place where Cheonyuseong was. fast. Chi profit! The body fluids melted the sand in an instant. of course. It was after Cheon Yu-seong narrowly escaped from the place. "Sheesh! You''ve entered the tiger''s den to avoid wild dogs." huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo A sword strengthened through ''Song of the Sword''. The blue river spurted out brilliantly. Cheon Yu-seong, who quickly climbed onto the ant ghost''s body, swung his sword in a big way. The sword dance of Chuhon Sword was unfolded over the outer skin of the ant ghost. Kak kak kak kak! The blade ripped through the outer skin and dug into its inner flesh. No matter how high-level monsters are, they can''t stand the sword with their bare body. the problem is . "Ugh?" Because it is so large, it is impossible to call it a fatal wound with such an injury. "Kie-ee!" The ant ghost roared long. It''s surprisingly fast for its size. kukukuku! The sands were split like the Red Sea. A meat attack using the entire body has the momentum to crush anything that stands in the way. "Harm!" However, it was not easy to dodge, and the range of the charge was unreasonably wide. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Traces that appear whenever an ant ghost passes by. Cheon Yu-seong kicked off the sand and leaped to the side. "!" posture is broken that gap... . The predator did not miss. "Keiye!" With another sharp roar. The body of the ant ghost split the sand. Even if you spread your Soul Sword to its extreme, you can''t resist that attack. It was too late to avoid. right then "...I will stop you." Without saying anything, Frey stepped forward. Aww! The forehead of the ant ghost that was rushing at great speed... . Clogged for the first time by the arm of a fragile girl. The pin that was tying her blue hair was shattered without being able to withstand the shock. Guguguguk... . The balance of the two forces was kept tight, and a bizarre resonance sounded. The saying that it was the strongest fighting weapon made of Philosopher''s stone came to life again. But. The stalemate didn''t last very long. The ant ghost, annoyed by the prey''s continued resistance, liberated mana in earnest. [Ant ghost activates the unique ability ''Ant Hell''!] Prey to be eaten... This is the moment when you have been upgraded to an annoying ''enemy''. it''s throbbing Legs fell to the ground. ant hell. It is a large-scale wide-area skill that absorbs everything on the sand. If you''re in the sand, all your actions will be limited. It would literally be like a mouse in a poison. "Ooh, I can''t move." "The survival rate is less than 0.01%." "Damn, do something. A funeral in the desert is a no-brainer!" chururuk. Saliva flowed from the ant ghost''s mouth. at the same time. The huge body slowly disappeared into the sand. ''great.'' I watched Jinhyuk sink to his waist. In fact, I never thought that the dryad Yuasis could get out of the way. Nevertheless, I deliberately forced this route... . It was because he knew how to escape even if he woke him up. On the contrary, the possibility of ''ant hell'' was activated even higher. ''It can shorten the time and also erase a debt to Yuasis.'' It looks like it''s hard to bear the situation that everyone is in trouble because of his own fault. Tears were about to fall from those big eyes. In addition to that, I was able to check Frey''s instantaneous strength, so he literally ate a pheasant and ate an egg. "Everyone, calm down. It''s not over yet." Jinhyuk calmly opened his mouth. "Is there any way?" "Yeah. There''s something I can do. It''s just..." The tip of his tongue trembled slightly. Then, as if holding a hot kettle, Cheon Yuseong shook his head. "I don''t. Never." "Have I not said anything yet?" "At least, you''re going to do something while I''m moving as a bait, or are you asking me to make a sacrifice for you? I already know that your main specialty is to skillfully roast and boil people with words and drive them into limbs." It is said that in 3 years of Seodanggae, a good month is sung. This guy seems to know what his future is like now. "I''ll do it. Although there is a 0% chance of survival." Frey nodded slightly. It''s like you don''t even know what it''s like to die. There was no emotion on his expressionless face. There''s probably nothing you can do on your own other than just follow what you''re told. But that''s it. "no." Jinhyuk took out a sickle made of ghost wood. "I am the bait." Aside from escaping, there is one more thing to do. even to test it. It would have been better if there were as few eyes as possible. CH 350 Old Guard (1) Scratch! Tsutsu ! The dryad''s body collapsed with a terrifying shattering sound. "Ah ." There was only despair in the brief sigh that came out of his mouth. I had no choice but to do so. The enemies that appeared in front of me now... . Because they were monsters far beyond their cognition. armor and shield. Even the Blessing of the spirits. None of that was of any use. ''never You can''t let them go to Yuasis.'' However, that thought is only a fleeting wind. The dryad''s head fell to the ground in one clean cut. kuung! The flame of life, which had been completely extinguished, extinguished even that will. In less than three minutes, the thirty-seven dryads placed at the entrance to the ruins were annihilated. Considering that each one of them is an elite who has been selected in the village. This is an unbelievable result. "Silly. This is the only way I can''t even brush off the rust on the knife." The slender man clicked his tongue. The runes written on the gray sword were still glimmering softly. "This work is not to satisfy your own self-interest. Do not confuse goals with personal feelings." At the man''s words, a woman with short black hair stepped forward. Similarly, with a thin dagger with a pale gray color, she was examining the corpses of the Dryads with a cold face. "It''s chilly. After all, work is something you enjoy doing .. No matter how upright you are, they don''t look after you." "Your man..." In an instant, sharp energy collided with each other. It has such a terrifying force that the mana dissolved in the air is transformed. [Old Guard.] Rankers that Nyarlathotep put great effort into raising within the tower. Already thousands of years ago, Nyarlathotep had become the hands and feet of Nyarlathotep, taking charge of the tower''s dirty work. They are faithful hunting dogs and scavengers, and at the same time, they are capable of attacking quite a few labyrinths and ruins alone. Another man closed his eyes and looked inside the ruins. It was quite impressive that he was holding a longbow taller than his height with a solid build. "The player named Jinhyuk Kang is currently in the cave to avoid the storm. The number is five No, if you include Jinjo, it will be six. Hmm. I just just went inside the cave. It seems he has sensed that the Dryads have been hit. ." "A cave? Are there swarms of black scorpions sleeping there? Besides, it''s usually not complicated inside, is it?" "Hey. Is there any guide among the six? It would be impossible to find a proper path within it if it wasn''t for you or Pesis." Various reactions emerged. This is because it was difficult to understand Jinhyuk''s trait of recklessly pushing. At the same time, curiosity about what kind of results it will create through it has also increased. "After all, he seems to know that the sand dunes of the sun have a crown." The tallest of the four Old Guards stood up. Chunkyung! A massive sword that was over 2m tall entered the scabbard on its back. "We also speed up." "Are you going to go straight into the sand dunes of the sun?" "No, looking at his movement, he must have gone towards the ant ghost." One way is to take things away before your competitors. However. That way, there is a chance that you will be caught behind or leave an awkward corner. Even if he knows a shortcut... It could have gotten even worse. "Go there and get rid of them and secure the crown." For the perfect mission. Eliminating the competitor itself is the surest way. "That would be fun." "Don''t kill Kang Jin-hyuk. It''s a long term horse that Rick, the middle manager, really likes." "I''ll try." "Then, I''ll understand by saying that you can kill all the rest." jerk. Soon after, the four old guards entered the gate. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! "Kee-e-e-e!" The ant ghost roared wildly and ran wildly. A prey with a limited range of motion in the sand. so that. Obviously, it was normal to be able to eat it in one bite. It means that it is only natural that it will end sooner or later. Still, that person was running away from the drug so much. As if to slow down time. [The unique ability ''Blood Explosion'' is activated!] Puff puff pop! Whoops! Drops of sand and blood gathered together and exploded. Jin-hyeok, in his dizzyingly obscured view, traversed through the sand through ''Gemma Cheonryeongbo''. In terms of the trait of ''Ant Hell'', the speed was not even 1/3 of the original one... . Does not matter. After all, speed wasn''t the most important thing in this fight. a little bit. little bit more . Jinhyuk continued to measure the timing. ''We have to finish this before the guys out there come all the way.'' The elite of Hastings who are both talented and informed. If he knew the entrance to the ruins, he must have guessed the location of the crown as well. ''They''re also predicting our current location and the direction we''re going in the future.'' Through ''Cheonrajimang'', I left milestones from the entrance of the ruins to this place. To estimate the average speed by calculating the distance the enemy travels per hour. ''If you count... Whatever choice they make, we will be one step behind.'' Much faster than expected. That is to say, they are monsters that are at least three levels better than assumed. then . You must choose to fight head-to-head rather than shake it off. in a more favorable place and situation. Ready to catch them. And one of the conditions depends on that ant ghost. "Kee-e-e-e!" The ant ghost ran again. Again, the vitality of that size is unmatched. If you look at the fact that even after being beaten like that, the trademark ''Blood Attack'' of the Decassus is still alive. Jinhyuk swung a sickle made of ghost wood. Kick Kick Kick! One eyeball was torn horizontally. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Countless magic circles appeared in the air. [The 6th circle ''Aqua Storm'' is activated!] The selected magic is a water attribute type. Water droplets rotating at high speed drew pentagonal stars. It was a great magic that made use of only one destructive power, excluding other things. "Try it cold once." kukuku... . As the streams of water united, they rushed towards the face of the ant ghost. Aww! A huge stream of water completely blocked my view. However. "Keiei hey hey!" The ant ghost was still alive and well. The wide-open mouth came close to Jinhyuk''s nose in an instant. it''s thick The smell of rotting corpses disturbed his sense of smell. Teeth and teeth try to mesh. It is a prey movement in preparation for swallowing by tearing it into small pieces. now! The long-awaited time has finally come. Jinhyuk flew through his teeth. At a moment when it could be said that it was almost the same time. Tadaak! Teeth and teeth collided. However, Jinhyeok''s body had already climbed the ant ghost''s neck and went inside. It was thanks to the perfect timing calculation without any error. ''It was close.'' Jinhyuk let out a small sigh of relief. Disturbing his gaze with an aqua storm. He was able to earn about 0.3 seconds by paralyzing his sense of smell with blood. If there was even a slight misalignment, instead of entering the body alive, fragments of fragments would have occurred in those teeth. ''It''s awful to come back here.'' My nose hurts, so it''s tingling. The ant ghost''s body was extremely hot and filled with a terrible stench. Nevertheless, I took all those risks because there was something I had to gain. Core. A Youngsu of this size must have a core that supports the years. It''s the crystal of mana, and at the same time, it''s the heart that sustains Youngsu''s life. To secure this, the rest of the party was sent first. ''While I turn off the time, I''ll head first to the dunes of the sun through a hidden passage.'' Now we just need to get over the last hurdle. Jinhyeok headed deep into the body of the ant ghost along the glistening inner wall. Fortunately, he was such a big guy, there was enough space for an adult male to pass through. How long would you have walked like that? The dark wall gradually brightened, and a space corresponding to a small room appeared. At last, they had reached the place where the heart of the ant ghost was. ''That''s it.'' Maybe it was because it had poison in it, so a black marble appeared. That is the core of the ant ghost. ''It will not be easy to purify poison.'' If entering this body was the first gateway. Purifying the poison around the core is the second gateway. If I didn''t know it and even touched it, it would have turned into a handful of blood in less than a minute. In fact, in the past, one of the demon world''s divinities touched that Core with bare hands and disappeared within a week. Jinhyuk looked around carefully. Pants! Foul! The area around the core burns black. It is a poison that comes out of nowhere to say that it is truly terrifying. To alleviate that... . Reading and Reading (Զ). Poison is suppressed with poison. [The unique abilities ''Cheonpox'', ''Black Tears'', and ''Blood Magic'' are fused!] Black Tears from the Celestial Poison and Wailing Witch, who wields a thousand poisons. A demon dissolved in blood is served there. When the three abilities merged into one, a dark red light erupted. kukukuku! When one attribute is maximized in this way, the burden on the body is also beyond imagination. It means that you have to pay a price to get strong abilities. However, in this situation, you have to move forward even if you are in a hurry. Throb! Throb! Throb! It feels like my blood vessels are going to burn. In the aftermath of mana''s runaway, terrible pains spread throughout. right then [You have succeeded in fusion!] [You have acquired the unique ability ''Destroyed Ten Million Poison (f)''!] [Annihilation Bay Poison] Acquisition Difficulty: SS Content: Ten thousand poisons that will destroy the sky. Increases your understanding of the many poisons in the tower by 250%. Even the masters of poison, Sacheondangmun, or even the divinities of the upper classes would not be able to talk about poison in front of this ability. [The fused ability is stored in ''memory of the world''!] great. "Whoa...!" Breathing became easier. The poison around the core, which I couldn''t even see properly, felt a little thinner. Where does the poison go? what its ingredients are. It was thanks to the fact that I began to perceive it much more clearly. As the annihilated poison bloomed, a green light appeared along Jinhyuk''s fingertips. As his hand crossed the air, the poison that had gathered around the Core began to slowly dissipate. slowly . They''re almost there, but they''re not vigilant. A little more carefully... . A cold sweat ran down Jinhyuk''s forehead. As it was a delicate work that required a high level of concentration, he did not let out a single breath. [The poison surrounding the Core is completely gone!] done! Jinhyuk managed to swallow the shouts that erupted. Finally, the time has come to secure the results of the hard work. But just before getting Core. kwaaang! A strong shock shook her whole body. "!?" There was no shock from the inside. from outside. Something attacked the ant ghost. profit! The smoke cleared and a huge wind hole appeared. and. Beyond a circle over 1m in size... . Four men and women dressed in black appeared. no doubt These are the ones Hasting sent. "Indeed, at this time..." I did the calculations by increasing the speed to the maximum. They got here faster than that. CH 351 Old Guard (2) kuung! The giant body of the ant ghost collapsed. Sand was scattered everywhere with a roar. The named monster, who didn''t even budge, was knocked down by two arrows. ''These guys... .'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. Obviously, these are the guys I''ve met on the 50th floor. The name is obviously... . They were the residents called the ''Old Guard''. Although it was not comparable to divinity, they are rankers that correspond to quite a few ''heroes''. The Greek Theseus or the Korean Sightseeing Sight. It means that they are on the same level as those who have been elevated in recognition for their numerous achievements. ''After all, the 50th floor was related.'' The fact that Nyarlathotep''s guards, who can freely float on the tower''s floor, have come here means that they too are extremely wary of the gathering of all crowns. "Are you a person named Kang Jin-hyuk?" The tallest man opened his mouth. The other three were also strong, but they possessed a toxic and different mana. That guy is the boss. "That''s right. I''m Jinhyuk Kang. Who is that?" "We call them the Old Guard. Those who protect the balance of the tower... let''s say." The guardian of balance is a horn. They must be scavengers who do the dirty work of high-ranking people. "Hey. They seem to have a lot of things. So why did people like the Earth Defense Force come to me?" "I know you''re aiming for the crown." Sreung! The sword worn on the man''s back was pulled out. On a silent day, the length alone is over 2m. It looks like it''s going to tear, not cut, if you even rub it. "You mean you don''t want competitors?" "It''s about keeping things tidy. I''m sorry, but I have to die here." creepy A cold life began to encroach on the surroundings. There are four residents who are hero-level. Besides, those guys specialize in defeating enemies stronger than themselves. ''I''ll have to shake it up a bit here.'' You can increase your odds by making even a small fluctuation or break. Jinhyuk''s lips twisted slightly. "Among the Old Guard, if it''s a big guy with a big sword, he''d be a ''hound''. Everything''s good, but the 1st in the ranks didn''t come directly. At best, he''s 4th and isn''t he pretending to be too strong?" slurred words. However, the meaning of those words was never taken lightly. "...!" "...?" "what ." An earthquake struck the pupils of the three men and women. "How do you... know my name?" The Hound who received the nomination also shook the tip of his sword in an instant. The Old Guard, the bodyguard of Nyarlathotep, is one of the most secretive organizations in the tower. Even the managers didn''t know the members correctly. But one player. How the hell is it with the topic of a kid who hasn''t been in the tower for 3 years yet? ? Someone picked up on the Old Guard... There was no other way to explain this. However. ''It doesn''t make sense to know my rank.'' The sequence is only Nyarlathotep. This is information only one knows. The hound''s composure shook even more violently. and that gap. Jinhyuk didn''t miss it. Jinhyuk has secured his own dogma. tuk. It was accelerated through ''Gemma Cheonryeongbo''. Jinhyuk''s body suddenly turned towards the opposite entrance. The idea is to take advantage of the chaos as the only way out. "How dare you!" The hound, who came to his senses at a slow tempo, shouted. at the same time. Shoo woo... KwaKwaKwabang! Three rays of light pierced the air. The man with the longbow hung another arrow at the demonstration as if he was too young. "As long as I''m there. Not a single ant cub can escape." ''Black Rock''. It is a member of the Old Guard and is one of the ten most popular shrines in the entire tower. Even Artemis or Hercules of Olympus is a monster that is difficult to gain an edge on. "I got caught by a troublesome hunter." If that guy is purposeful and aiming, running down the aisle just before is suicidal. Jinhyuk immediately changed direction. It was a much narrower and cramped cave side. like that. into the dark passage. Jinhyuk''s body completely disappeared. "You''ve got it right." "Yeah. As long as you go down that road, it''s over." "You run away hard, and you''ll realize eventually. At first glance, it looked like another way out, but in fact there is no way out in that passage. "You must be captured. You must determine the source of the information he has." "Yes." "okay." "Is it a sheep hunt after a while? It must be fun." After the Hound''s orders, the chase began. Jinhyuk, who entered the passage, accelerated his speed even more. ''I''m sure you''re relieved that you''ve been driven into a dead end. Because they think I don''t know the geography of this place.'' But. After a while, you will realize just how wrong that thought was. I was planning to pay a very good price for playing tag against the Rotten Water in the Tower of Trials. Previously . Jinhyuk quickly activated the personal status window. [Real-time transaction requires a fee of 1,000,000 coins. Do you still want to proceed? Y/N] "I''ll pay." It was a waste of coins, but there is nothing we can do here. In order to deal with them, besides the dog, there were essential materials. Originally, I was planning to take a little more time and do local procurement. As the situation changes, you have to react accordingly. [Waiting for the other party to accept.] Tour... . Tour... . The ringing tone rang several times. And at that very moment. T-tiring! "Hmm. This is surprising again." A familiar voice resounded along with a small video. Rick Hennessy. The owner of the top of the heavyweight class and the middle manager of the tower appeared. "Hmm. I was just about to go to bed, but why did you call me all so late, Primary God?" "Sorry for interrupting your break. It''s urgent." "Heh heh. Can I help you with anything?" Rick still burst out laughing with a friendly face. "I''m being chased by some troublesome bastards, and I need a few items to deal with these guys." "If player Kang Jin-hyuk is chased, then... he''s not an ordinary chaser." "Nyarlathotep are the bodyguards of the divinity. They call themselves ''Old Guard''. Do you know?" At Jinhyuk''s words, there was a 0.1 second gap. However, it was only for a short time. "It''s the first time I''ve heard of it. Even the managers have limited information about the floor." "Ah, of course, that''s right. It''s fine. The thing I want to ask you anyway is the item side." "Tell me." Rick slowly stood up. A huge amount of items came into view through the status window. These are rare items that are difficult to even look at. "All I need is..." Jinhyuk opened his mouth. "I went this way. The distance is about 500m. It''s moving slower than I thought." BlackRock measured the distance to the target. "It''s strange. I thought I''d almost reached the end of the aisle by now." The hound also carefully examined the traces left on the floor. Obviously, it had been less than a minute since we passed this place. When considering the specs he has. It was impossible. "I think there''s a plan. It might be a waste of time, so if you leave it to me, I''ll go and handle it on my own." short hair woman... No, the 27th rank of the Old Guard called Selly insisted on a quick chase. However. "no." Hound felt something strange about Jinhyuk''s actions. "I''ve heard that he''s been through everything before birth. If such a loach deliberately slows down, it means that we must have a reason to follow." "Are you talking about a trap...?" "Yeah. It looks like they already know that the passage is blocked." It means that choosing a single path was not simply to avoid a predicament. "It''s fun." The corners of the Hound''s lips went up. I thought it was just an ordinary hunt. I think this mission will be a lot more fun. "Don''t miss the little things." Immediately, four shadows crossed the cavern. How much time has passed? "Leader." "okay ." The hound found a rune painted on the floor. between rocks and crevices. It was cleverly hidden using sand. He couldn''t escape the eyes of the Ranger, Black Rock. "It''s a barrier. That''s a pretty high standard." 5 star . No, this might be 6 stars or more. ''How could you make a trap with this much barrier in such a short time?'' Again, it''s not an easy hunt. ''If it''s normal, hunters would rather be hunted.'' However. Normally, it just means that. In this case, there is no problem. KwaKwaKwakwok! The Hound drew a great sword and destroyed the core sentence of the barrier. not an inch of error. It was an impeccable swordsmanship. If we only reacted carefully in this way, there would be no variables. "Keep moving." Hound took the lead. After that, several types of various traps appeared, but it was not enough to deceive the Old Guards. KwaKwang! Whoops! All the traps made with great care were neutralized. The barrier, various magic, and very rare items disappeared meaninglessly. The last place we reached. Jinhyeok, whose plans all failed, was left alone. "It was pretty good. To be honest, if it wasn''t for us, your plan would have succeeded." Hound gave pure praise. "...It''s like an old guard, too. I didn''t expect it to come without a single wound. Thanks to that, the things I bought for a high price turned into trash." "It''s good that you gave up so quickly. Then, how about you tell me how you got to know us?" "Huh? Why do I have to say that?" "As long as you have exhausted all the cards you have. If you don''t want to die painfully, wouldn''t it be better to open the spout?" The Hound drew a line towards Jinhyuk''s limbs with his greatsword. As if warning that they would cut off each limb one by one. However. In spite of the bloody threats, Jinhyuk still shrugged his shoulders leisurely. "Ah did you think that this was all I prepared?" If so, I''m really sorry. that expectation. Because it looks like it''s shattered. "The thing in front of me was simply to warm up." It disturbed the gaze and gave a plausible reason. The real thing is now. [''Mirror that breaks down boundaries'' and ''11 Jewels of Rivens'' resonate!] [''The String of Beliefs'' is activated!] Eight of Rivens'' eleven jewels, which were expensively purchased from Rick, were used for this enchantment. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo with dazzling light. The field of view has completely changed. ''The Sand Dunes of the Sun''. A majestic view of where the crown was supposedly buried was revealed. "Here..." The hound faced the greatsword. and. in front of them... . Those who were fully prepared for battle were waiting. [Unique ability .] Each ability blooms. [''Song of the Sword'' is activated!] [''Blessing of the Stars'' is activated!] [''Puppet Play'' is activated!] [''Whispers of the Forest'' is activated!] "Now, let''s fight properly. Let''s get the page numbers right." Jinhyuk smiled brightly. CH 352 Old Guard (3) Celestial Yuseong, Theresa, and Frey and Euasis unleashed their unique abilities. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo A great mana rose with a brilliant light. "Have you left your colleagues on standby and connected the dimensions?" The Hound slowly opened his mouth. I even predicted the traps, but I didn''t even realize that there was a plot like this. However. Such a reaction was only brief. "So what are you going to do? Did you really think this would change the situation?" At least, if hundreds or thousands of troops are lining up, I don''t know. For the Old Guard, this was just a ridiculous level to even call it an ambush. It was because he was not used to dealing with melee battles and multiple enemies, and it was becoming a daily routine. By the way, the most annoying enemy... . A doll with blue hair. ''Homunculus... . Rumors circulated that it was going to be auctioned off. In the end, it was completed.'' okay. As long as you are careful about that, there are no variables. Chunkyung! Hound drew his sword. kukukuku! An ominous aura covered the entire blade. "Damn it. Who else is that goddamn bastard?" Cheon Yuseong asked immediately. "Huh? What?" "What, what? Suddenly, the middle manager told me to prepare for an enemy coming here soon. Aren''t out-of-standard monsters coming to Ururu!" uh... it? "It''s not a big deal. It looks three-dimensional, so it wouldn''t even make a single punch to you, would it?" Jinhyuk deliberately shivered, but Cheon Yoosung''s expression didn''t look very good. The mana that is transmitted to the skin is so painful that it stings. I can''t even imagine how strong the enemies were. "It''s not going to be easy to play against 1:1." Theresa added a word. I was thinking of triggering ''Corruption'', but I wasn''t sure if I would be able to properly deal with one person with that. "I think the transformation of the ruins has something to do with them. The reverberation of mana... is similar. It''s creepy." Finally, Yuasis caught mana flowing from the Old Guards'' bodies. whatever happened As long as what each other wants overlaps, fights are unavoidable. "Kill them. All except Kang Jin-hyuk." With the command of the hound, a full-scale battle began. Aww! bang! bang! kwaang! mana and mana collide. Cheon Yu-seong unfolded the Basic Form of the Soul Sword and faced Sally of the Old Guard head-on. In less than 10 seconds, dozens of sword strikes came and went. The afterimage was also a series of quick swords that were difficult to measure properly. "It''s pretty good. For a human being." A sly smile crept across Sally''s lips. "You''re so annoyingly fast." Cheon Yu-seong broke his molar and bit it. I used the fastest Basic Form among the Basic Forms I had, but my opponent read all the swords with ease. It''s the first time I''ve felt this way since fighting that damn dead person. Kaka Kaka! Again, the sword pierced the air. The flames faded, leaving a remnant in the air. "If you were strong enough, you would have noticed this battle? It''s meaningless to keep going beyond this." "Yeah... you''re right. To be honest, I don''t even think I can win." The stronger you are, the more you have to get used to measuring the gap with your opponent. Knowing your level means that your eyes for predicting the game will become sharper. However. Cheon Yoosung held the sword with both hands. hundreds of times. No, thousands of times. Tried and frustrated. To win, I have drunk the bitter cup of countless defeats so far. Is that so? "I don''t know anything else I am superior to that child in my tenacity to not give up even if I die." Pants... . A beautiful melody rode the sword and began to sing. Sword Qi and Sword Qi harmonize together, In the meantime, to climb the tower. However, to surpass one rival. Everything that had been built up burned. " !!" Sally crossed two swords. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A strike like the mountain of Taesan struck the sword. I haven''t been able to let go of all the shock. "The title of swordsmanship is definitely an undeserved title for me. As you said, there are still countless enemies that I cannot overcome." Yoosung Cheon immediately prepared the following Basic Form. The sums that flowed naturally like flowing water reminded me of a single giant sword. kukukuku! The mana on the sword deepened even more. At the same time, Selly''s feet, who were being attacked, slowly dug into the ground. "However, I will defeat you today and rise to a position worthy of that title with my own strength." " a cheeky little kid go." The swords danced again. "Sheesh, Sally''s son. It''s a struggle." BlackRock, who was demonstrating an arrow, clicked his tongue. It was because it was frustrating to see that only one swordsman, Naburin, could not subdue one. "I''ll take care of the two of you quickly. I don''t save face until the old guard with a name is dragged around by the dwarves." less two. Teresa and Yuasis. It is a combination of an all-round dealer who can tank and heal and a long-distance dealer. ''If you say that you are the head of the Dryad clan, all you have to do is flirt from a distance... . Is this the one who uses divine power? hmmm. It''s nothing if you look at each other, but if the two of you work together, the assortment will come out.'' At least. I don''t think it will end too easily. Tsutsu. In an instant, the disappeared Black Rock appeared above their heads. "Let''s see the reaction speed first..." Boo woo woo... . bang! The arrow split the air. from above. Under. A ray of light fell. "Careful!" Teresa took out her shield a little late, protecting Uaasis. However, the shield was deflected with one shot of an arrow. A shock as if hit head-on with a siege pendulum shook her whole body. "Aww!" "Mister Teresa!" Uais hung an arrow made from twisted hair on the protest. A momentary gap that a tanker treasured. Don''t miss this opportunity. Paang! An arrow made of hair ran in a straight orbit. Fast. Accurate. step, "Slow." That''s it. The time BlackRock reloaded the arrow was faster than the speed at which the arrow flew. Besides. Surprisingly, it wasn''t just the speed. It wasn''t enough to hit the tip of the arrow in the air, so the second arrow flowed down the side of the arrow that Yuasis fired. poop! "Aww!" A scream of pain erupted from Yuasith''s mouth. The arrow pierced his shoulder and pierced the opposite wall. ''Dangerous .'' Teresa instinctively used ''Corruption''. Now we have to fight regardless of the judges. Meanwhile. A little further away, another battle was about to unfold. "My opponent is you. Still, it''s not bad since you''re hunting the strongest prey." The fourth figure of the Old Guard. He was a melee martial artist called Roy Fang. Her whole body was covered in red tattoos, and her hair was slick and had no frills. kuung! Blue-green flames erupt as they clashed their fists. The two properties of ice and poison were synthesized. "Do you know me ?" Frey, who had been nominated, tilted her head. "Aldamada. Aren''t you the greatest Master grade an alchemist ever made? I''m personally very happy to have had the opportunity to hunt a homunculus called Alpha." Roy Fang was motivated. It''s only natural to carry out Nyarlathotep''s orders... . Hunting strong prey was the driving force that made them feel alive. "I don''t know about satisfaction. Maybe it''s good to fight a strong enemy." "Is that so? Then, why are you fighting?" At Roy Fang''s words, Frey looked at the spear in both hands for a moment. Why are you fighting... . that . "I have someone I want to protect." The first person to give you a name. A person who promised not to be a weapon of war as a tool, but to be with him as a colleague. A little more with him... I want to be together. If there''s a reason, that''s it. A fierce battle ensued. Jinhyuk carefully examined the situation. ''It''s holding up better than I thought.'' Thanks to everyone''s help, we were able to create a void for three out of four. There''s only one left. Hound. He is the leader of this member. The fighting power of the Hound was great, to the extent that the other three could not win even if they attacked. The point of this battle is not who wins whom. to obtain the crown of doom. That must be the purpose and reason for coming here. " seeing that he is rolling his head so hard, he must be calculating how to get the crown. After all, he shouldn''t have easily wasted the opportunity he had gained by sacrificing his colleagues as well." "It''s a bit harsh. It''s a sacrifice. Everyone came out voluntarily." and. "Why do you think we''re going to be sacrificed?" I think you look down on the power of the Goin Corporation. This one hasn''t even seen all the cards yet. uuung! Jinhyuk opened his subspace inventory. with dazzling light. The second reinforcements showed up. "Momii!" The sweet potato proudly stretched out its four legs. Black scales and amber eyes blazed with fire. There stood a noble nobleman with long silver hair hanging next to the sweet potato. Alice von Ataraxia. If the Old Guard are hunting dogs that slaughter the top rankers inside the tower... . Elise is one of the absolutes that symbolize the tower. Even if it''s not in its prime, it doesn''t mean that the experience and dignity are damaged. "I promised. After this job is over, I have to eat wherever I want. The menu should be what I want. There should be no other distractions. Especially not that blue-dyed blue-haired or stupid saint! Absolutely! Promise me! Okay? " Alice shot her with a prickly face. They said they would work hard to release it, but it seems that there are still a lot of complaints. "Yeah. That''s what I promise for sure." "Heh! Well, I''m going to trust you just this one time and make a Treasured sword." "Don''t worry about that and just focus. It''s not an enemy to take lightly." "I know." Did the enemy feel anything unusual? Alice did her best from the start. [Ellis activates her unique holy spear, ''Apocalypse of Gaebyeok''!] with red rings. The fire seemed to rise as the sun appeared. Dozens of red harpoons erupted out of the trembling space. "Are you going to deal with the guy in front of you?" "I can deal with that guy. You guys help the rest. Especially since Teresa and Yuasis are struggling, starting there." "Okay. Then, let''s move quickly with the spirit beasts." Elise tilted her head towards the spirits that came with her. "Yes, leave it to me, Master." "We''ll fight hard. I''ll give it a shot." "Hehehe. Whoa. What kind of idiot touched the heart of our Cold Blooded, where there are no blood or tears?" The spirit beasts were arguing with all kinds of flattery. ancestral to the ancients. Even the spirit beasts there. This turned out to be a pretty good thing to do. However. right at that moment. kukukuku! The sand dunes within the dunes began to shake violently. The position of the sand began to change due to the internal trait that changes according to the position of the sun. sparkle. It was then that a black light appeared among the sand. in a huge amount of granules. "...!" "found." Jinhyuk''s and Hound''s eyes lit up at the same time. no doubt The ''crown of defeat'' is in that torrent. CH 353 Crown of Doom (1) A black object visible through the platinum sand. It is the ''crown of defeat'' that Heavenly Demon had. It is the key to reaching the 50th floor, and the highest level Artifact that has a different level of power than other relics with its specifications alone. The time has finally come to get your hands on it. The ''Eyes of Gluttony'' pierced through the target. T-tiring! [Crown of Doom] Acquisition Difficulty: Unmeasurable Description: It is one of the seven crowns that exist in the tower, and it means overwhelming ''weakness''. All stat stats you have +30 The level of ''Eyes of Gluttony'' is low, so detailed information cannot be checked. Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. ''great.'' It is genuine without a doubt. pounding! pounding! pounding! My heart started beating fast. The option to increase all stats you have is not simply to increase the basic 4 stats of strength, agility, mana, and stamina. ''Gap and adaptive... It means that it raises the luck-related stats.'' Truly a deceptive trait. In particular, there was no way to obtain the gap other than dodging the attack of the ''Minotaur'' on the first floor. However, this is the only way to raise it, even in a detour. ''Besides It''s also the key to the 50th floor.'' A key item that is absolutely necessary to enter the 50th floor. After that, even in order to take advantage of the position with the divinities of the upper layers and the higher powers . This is a must have on hand. ''I''d like to go and catch him right away, but I''m not the kind of guy who''s going to leave it alone.'' If you act clumsily, you will get hurt. At the very least, distract your attention... You''ll have to inflict some damage to create a gap. Moment. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo The energy emanating from Jinhyuk''s body has completely changed. After all, it was the possessiveness that comes from seeing what you really want. "...do you really think you''ll be competing with me?" The hound asked as if it was ridiculous. And to that question... . "Did you really think that you were only going to fight me while playing the role of a hound on the 50th floor?" Jinhyuk replied with a bright smile. "They''re hounds well, we don''t know them well, so we can only look like hounds." "No, they''ve already gone through what they''ve been through. It''s disgusting to the bone." "Are you saying you''re tired of having only one victory? Are you using a shortcut to prolong your life?" Hmm . From the hound''s point of view, I have no choice but to think that way. You''ve only fought Shub Nigurs once. And actually that one battle... It was difficult to see it as a proper victory. "Well, you''re right. It''s probably impossible to fight them head-to-head yet." "Not yet?" "Yeah. Not yet." Right now, though I''m curled up. In the future, it will become even stronger. In order to catch up with the past, in its heyday. To see the top of the tower that no one has reached. like that. Even the beings on the 50th floor. Even the divinities that make up each myth are about to reach an unreachable place once again. Sreung. Jinhyuk took out his twin dragon sword and fangs. A pair of swords of different lengths were expected. "Other friends are fighting hard, too, so we can''t just play around with us. Then, let''s have a fun game." "...the time to regret will be very short, because there are no living players among the guys who faced me." Jinhyuk and Hound moved at the same time. fault! kwaang! with a loud roar. The two new ones have disappeared. Attacks coming from the lower right. Boo Woong! The wind blows through the eardrums At the same time, Jinhyuk used his fangs to twist the trajectory of the greatsword. Puppupuck! Immediately, the sand splattered in all directions. Being ignorant is an understatement. However, without even a blink of an eye, the second sword strike rushed towards the body. "...!" can''t avoid this Jinhyuk prepared for the shock by putting his twin dragon swords in the front. kwaang! A heavy impact pierced from his fingertips to the top of his head. A ranker that corresponds to the hero level. Also, that''s great. In terms of simply destructive power, it was at a level comparable to that of the giant gods. But. "It''s a power fight..." Pants... ! I have this one too, if it suits him. [The unique ability ''Tombgrave''s Right Arm'' is activated!] The power of the giant gods resided in his right arm. The muscles expanded, and the quality of mana flowing into the blood vessels also changed. kwaaang! bang! kwaang! The sword and the sword collided, and a dazzling flame spread. It was a series of sword attacks that seemed to shatter his forehead if he even touched it. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A 10m long wound appeared on the back of Jinhyuk''s sand. Similarly, a wound of similar length was made on the opposite side where the hound was standing. The three strikes that made use of the rotational power went to the nape of the neck. one sum. two sums... twenty sum. "Hmm..." As the battle continued, the Hound''s eyes began to shake little by little. It''s a matter of course. Until now, under the command of Nyarlathotep, he had been carrying out numerous missions, but no one had received such an attack from his own. ''never It''s not about strength or speed.'' Rather, that part was pushed back by the rest of the Old Guards that came with it. However, there was one thing that made up for all the shortcomings and made it remain. timing. To be precise, it intentionally lowers its power by intervening right before its maximum destructive power is exerted. kwaaang! The same goes for this time. The sword swung to the side subtly. In terms of time, it was less than 0.1 seconds, but the Hound lost his breath. ''Isn''t that a coincidence?'' If it was once or twice, I don''t know. Except for the first three times, all of the attacks didn''t go as planned. Above all, the more the sum was exchanged, the more accurate it was to read the breath here. It''s like I''m starting to feel a little bit better now. When a decision was not reached even in the 39th round, the two separated for a while. "This is amazing." The Hound let out a voice of pure admiration. At this point, even if you don''t want to admit it, you can''t help but admit it. As much as one has the power to read the ''breathing'' possessed by each individual. The fact that your opponent is higher than you. "Is that why I was so confident? If I waited for my stamina to drop while inducing me to lose my hair in this way, I guess I naturally decided that I could get the crown." In fact, even at this moment, Jinhyuk was slowly shifting his center of gravity toward the crown. While pretending to focus on the fight on the surface, all nerves were directed to the crown. One of the Old Guards that collected the most prominent monsters in the tower... Against yourself in fourth position. You had such a leisurely time. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Hound burst out laughing. It was such a huge madness that the fights of others stopped for a moment. "That sloppy calculation is annoying. Concentrating on even a single cell is not enough. You were selling one eye." Timing and breathing are good. In the face of overwhelming power, there is no such thing as leftovers. Now, let me tell you how big a mistake that thought was. Guguguk! The red runes were revealed along the dark sword. [The seal of the Old Guard is released.] [The unique Holy Spear ''Ring of the Heavens'' is activated!] The sword moved slowly. The twin dragon swords and fangs responded to this. However. "It''s over. Sweetheart." kwaduk. The moment the sword and the sword meet. A sound that should never be heard rang out. " ?" An earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk''s pupil. This is because the dagger made from the fangs of the Mythical Beast species Pentagris began to crack. In the event that broke common sense, an illusion as if time had stopped arose. But this is not an illusion. It wasn''t even a fucking dream. Whoops... . At the end of the crack that grows little by little. The canine blade was completely split. The weapon that has been with us for a long time has lost its light. [Absolute judgment ''collapse effect'' has been activated.] A red status window appeared one after another. "How about it. Are you still looking at the crown?" A fishy smile lingered on Hound''s lips. Since there is no one who will not be embarrassed even after losing the weapon he has, he is convinced that Jinhyeok will be in a panic now. However. ''The Wheel of Reversal... I finally got to see that handsome unique holy spear again.'' Jinhyuk had already anticipated that such a situation would unfold. ''It''s a pity that I lost my fangs, but there''s nothing I can do about it.'' His gaze turned to the status window of the hound displayed in the ''Eyes of Gluttony''. Name: Crexus de Acacius Alias: Hound Level: 315 Stats: Strength 533 Dexterity 215 Stamina 305 mana 255 Foreign Will 644 Unique Ability: Reverse Heaven Unique Holy Spear: Ring of Reverse Heaven skill: The content of skill is too much, so it has been switched to put aside. Details: About 1300 years ago, Acacius, a resident of the 20th floor, was one of the nobles belonging to the Lost Empire. However, due to the power struggle of the tower, the entire family was destroyed, and as a result, he became disillusioned with the world and tried to kill himself. It was then that Nyarlathotep recognized his talent and made him his Old Guard. [Copy Conditions] Copying a target''s abilities requires sacrificing something equivalent. The success of copying the ability is determined by the sacrifice target, and the more valuable the target, the higher the completion of the copied ability. Giving up weapons... . Just for copying this ability. As he said, the crown was the top priority, but such a powerful group gathered here. It doesn''t make sense not to copy abilities. In my mind, I want to copy all of them, but given the circumstances, only one If you''re lucky, copying two would be the limit. And the ability to decorate the first is the unique ability of the head Hound. ''please .'' Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva. As much as I threw away the fangs I loved and cherished, I want you to acknowledge this... . [You have not met the requirements for ability copying.] [Additional sacrifice required.] As it is an absurd ability, even this is not enough. Or pay for something bigger and more valuable. Or at least you have to hit a lot of sheep. Damn it. However, it is not possible to give up on ''balmung''. ''There is a new way to procure lost fangs within the dunes of the sun, but this is difficult.'' The fact that you have to give up even Balmung, which is optimized for hunting Dragons. It means the belly button is bigger than the belly button. then . Jinhyuk''s eyes flashed. Securing the crown and copying his abilities... At the same time, a way to deal with all the troublesome Old Guards came to mind. The risk is very high, but given a few circumstances, it is quite possible. You just have to try it first. tuk. Jinhyuk just turned his back. Towards a similarity with the crown of doom. "Fuhaha! After all, one thought is simple. What I was worried about at the most is praying and running to grab the crown!" Convinced of victory, the hound started chasing closely behind him. CH 354 Crown of Doom (2) The time when Jinhyuk and Hound were facing each other. huuuuuuuuuuuo! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! A wave of red blood swept the area. As the huge sand dune collapsed in one blow, drops of blood flew everywhere. "!" Blackrock bit his tongue. A war situation that had been going favorably until a while ago. However, with the intervention of a new variable, things started to turn strangely. ''Ellis von Ataraxia... Is it the former head of state who was kicked out by other heads of state?'' In his heyday, he was an absolute that no one could touch. ''If you came then, all the Old Guard, including the captain, should have buried their bones here.'' Even if the Old Guards are hunting dogs that hunt the heroes in the tower, they cannot hunt the rankers of the Primary God class. However. It''s all a story assuming the past. What''s in front of you right now is just a fragment of it. kukukuku! The red blood rushed out again. At the same time, Yuasis'' arrow pierced the air. kwaang! kwaaang! A tricky attack. Of course, you don''t have to respond to each of these. As long as it takes time, victory will lean this way anyway. as if to prove it. "Now it''s done!" A sharp shout rang out. [The unique Holy Spear ''Peterops'' Slayer'' is activated!] [Crawling Breath of Darkness has been used!] A new unique Holy Spear was activated on the side of Selly, who was facing the Celestial Planet. As the relics received from Nyarlathotep merged, faint shadows began to appear all at once along the ground. "Kurre..." "Keeek!" The shadows soon formed an older brother. They are eight-legged, red-eyed beasts. It was difficult for each of them to have unusual mana, but it was the number that really mattered. Even if you estimate by eye, there are more than a hundred. No matter how hard the sweet potatoes or spirit beasts were, they could not deal with this number. "Hey, is this a bit too much?" "Yeah. That''s right. You have to run away." "But wouldn''t it be better to die by those guys than to die by the master for disobeying orders?" "Everyone, be quiet. My head hurts." The spirit beasts hesitated and backed away. "Mooogi!" At least the ancient species, sweet potato, did not lose momentum, but the demonic beasts, whose emotions were expelled, were also not afraid of the peers of the ancient species. immediate situation. It was the Beasts who broke the balance. The beasts who narrowed the distance using their long legs at once began to attack everything they saw in front of them at will. kukukuku! The gnome surrounded a wall made of earth like a shield. Undine and Sylphid unleashed a magic made of water and wind, making the barrier even stronger. "Kie-ee!" "Koooooooh!" The beasts slammed themselves into the wall and climbed up. A blade made of water and wind cut through the nails, but that was not enough to stop them. The beasts who reached the top of the wall took a stance to jump downwards. But it was then. "Who do the lowly ones dare to attack, showing their teeth in front of whom?" Elise''s harpoon turned into a torrential rain. poop! Puppupuck! Hundreds of harpoons made a hole in the body of the beasts. "Kek!" "Geek!" Even the beasts who were able to withstand the magic of Undine and Sylphid could not withstand the bombardment of this relentless power. In an instant, dozens of magical beasts fell off the wall and rolled on the floor. like that. At that moment when everyone was fighting fiercely. '' now!'' bang! Jinhyuk left his seat and started running. Towards the place where the crown of doom is located. "You idiot!" The hound immediately followed behind. The opponent who lost his weapon lost his reason and turned his back... . It is as if the match has now been decided. All that''s left is to stab that idiot in the back when he gets his hands on the crown. Hound kept his distance coolly. ''Barrier... .'' Hound did not neglect his vigilance even while chasing after Jinhyuk. His gaze ran around the sand. About 6 stars. Obviously, it is a barrier that reduces power. It must have been that the companions who had arrived here first made the medium. ''I don''t know what the excellent grade is, but you think that this barrier can weaken my mana.'' There really is only laughter. No, it made me sad to think that this was the last trump card. fault! The hound accelerated a little more. It was because he could see Jinhyuk''s hand touching the crown. aim for that gap. Boo! The sword was aimed precisely at the spinal cord. I was thinking of taking my breath away with one blow. However. An unusual energy arose in Jinhyuk''s body, who had only been running forward. ''Did you bring out any other weapons?'' Either way, it doesn''t matter Anyway, the limit of the mana the other person has is set. Even if you pull out a more powerful relic other than the dagger from a while ago, it won''t be a variable. But, creepy "Uh, what !?" Goosebumps appeared all over the Hound. It is a terrifying mana. Dare, so much that the end is hard to fathom. ''Sacrifice''. If the fangs are destroyed arbitrarily, this is a special effect that increases the attack power by 100 times. ''I didn''t know I was going to use it to copy abilities, but... Still, as a hidden card, it can do its job well.'' Jinhyuk opened his subspace inventory. Last item I bought from Rick. "Tree Frog Chocolate" Option: Transfers the abilities attached to the item. However, depending on the trait of the weapon, the degree of completion of the transferred ability varies. misread. He put the chocolate in his mouth, and the hot energy spread through his veins and throughout his body. Normally, even if you took the tree frog chocolate, the efficiency of ability transfer is not high. I don''t know if a blacksmith about the size of Orun worked day and night for about a week. This is because it was not easy in the first place to fix heterogeneous abilities to other items. However. There is one case where a ''perfect transfer'' is possible without the help of Orun. When the root of the item comes from a single root. In other words. When it is a weapon made from a Mythical beast called Pentagris, transfer can fully use its power. uuung! A long longbow appeared in Jinhyuk''s hand. Another symbol of Pentagris is ''molar teeth''. The arrow made with ''Blessing of the Stars'' and the effect of transferring the tree frog to chocolate were superimposed. "I did not open the barrier that weakens mana to contain you." Rather, it was to reduce the absurd destructive power through self-sacrifice. With this, she was able to use her power to her heart''s content without worrying about Teresa or Cheon Yu-seong getting involved. "Eat it." The protest at Jinhyuk''s fingertips shook. White light condensed into a single point. The blazing white flame even gnawed at the surrounding air. It is a blow that gathers all mana from close range and launches them. There is no way to avoid it. Tsutsu. A single ray of light drew a long line. Then a roar echoed along with the sound. soon after KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwak! An unexpected storm raged. "Aww!" A long scream escaped the hound''s mouth. Chi profit... ! Long smoke billowed along where the arrow had crossed. The crater created by burning sand had no end in sight. As if to prove how powerful the blow was, the sound of thunder still crushed the eardrums. "Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh..." Jinhyuk took a deep breath. A whopping 100 times the power. The aftermath of activating Fang''s special ability came all at once. It felt like my whole body was being torn apart. Even though the whole body was protected layer by layer with ''Blessing of the Stars'' and barrier, each cell was screaming. of course. The opponent who is hit by this attack will not be able to survive. I was sure that Damn it. "Your unique voice spear... it''s completely out of standard. How do you keep breathing even with it?" Jinhyeok had a bitter taste. "Great..." A hound slowly crawled up from the middle of the crater. A missing arm and a tattered whole body. His whole body was in bruises, but he didn''t die. It''s a really, really, really hard body. Because it was orthodoxly hit with the power to instantly kill even mythical beasts. "This tear the one to kill ." The hound staggered and walked away. "Don''t overdo it. Then you''ll really die. You''re going to get beaten up by a kindergartener in your current state?" No, really. Undine may even fall down with dew. "Laugh...don''t give up. You too... you don''t seem to have the strength to lift a finger...but with this... you think it''s over." Even at this moment, the Hound''s wounds were recovering rapidly. 10 minutes ahead. If that''s enough, you can go back to your original condition. But, if it takes 10 minutes... . The hound, twisted in anger, picked up what was in the sand. the crown of doom. The crown, which had been bounced off due to an attack a while ago, fell right in the vicinity of the Hound. "If there is only this , killing one of you wouldn''t be a thing. Giving him the crown is something to do after that." The crown is the strongest relic that works even for beings on the 50th floor. A person who writes this will be able to reach the realm of the Absolute. "It''s your dent that allowed me to hold this in my hands stupidly." The hound wore the crown with a fishy smile on his face. And at that very moment. Kiki Kick Kick! The first dissonance I had ever heard pierced my nerves. "Ugh... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" A terrible scream escaped the hound''s mouth. The relic, which should be given enormous power, is rather trying to burn its own body. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" The Hound kept yelling as if he couldn''t understand. He tried to take the crown off again, but it didn''t come off as if it had already stuck to his head. "Uh why. What what is this ?" Why, "If the Crown of Doom is used by someone who is not qualified to be the owner, it turns into poison, not a relic." Jinhyuk calmly shrugged. "I don''t know if it was you in a completely intact state. If you are in a state just before you die like now, you have no choice but to accept the crown as the owner." Anyway, are there any restrictions on using the top-level Artifact? "Maybe I was injured. I purposely put the crown in front of me. Was it for this?" "I''ve put in some tricks to make you lose your cool. You''re in charge of retrieval. Of course, I thought you might only know some of the Crown''s traits." The probability that Nyarlathotep told you everything about the crown converges to zero. There''s no way they could have told their subordinates that they could hurt them. And faithfully carried out Nyarlathotep''s orders without any doubts. "That''s why you lose this fight." CH 355 Crown of Doom (3) "Hey, this can''t be..." "Nonsense." "How the boss was beaten up by that kid?" A startling exclamation erupted from the mouths of the Old Guards who were engaged in a fierce battle. I had no choice but to do so. Having dealt with countless atrocious missions until now... . It was the Hound who always led the team in front of him. True to the nickname of Nyarlathotep''s hound, the captain who has been doing his job more perfectly than anyone else. However. why the hell Does that mean that the ranker who was dealing with the heroes of the myth was defeated by a player? You already know why. I just didn''t want to admit it. One-shot fatal arrow. The blow that could not be offset even after activating the unique ability to destroy the weapon was a type that was far beyond the norm. It''s like seeing when the primordial beings directly moved. There was also a level of goosebumps that weaved all the traps using the crown. On the other hand. Due to Jinhyuk''s performance, the morale of the Goin Corporation has risen to the utmost. "Now it''s barely worth a try." Cheon Yoosung let out a small sigh. Thanks to Selly, who pushed hard, a dangerous situation continued. Finally, the time for counterattack came. Theresa and Yuasis also prepared an attack with a more relaxed face. Soon, a power that was not believed to be joining Jinhyuk spontaneously springs up. "Huh. Well. It''s pretty good. Oh, no. Of course, if it''s my contractor. That''s right." Elise also murmured. He didn''t say the right words, but his face was full of pride and pride. "Mooogi!" "After all, like our devil he''s not like silver, he''s a master full of skills." "That''s why the spirits have to line up well. If we had escaped, we''d all be in trouble." "If I had, I would have been tied upside down to a pole and only ate mint chocolate all 365 days of the year." The sweet potato and the spirit beasts also gained momentum and started pushing the beasts at once. "Kie-ee!" "Koooooooh!" The beasts whose whole body was covered with holes fell down one by one. When Sally, who was giving her orders, panics because of the Hound''s defeat. The whole system was thrown into chaos. "This fight. We win." Frey quickly swung two javelins. The spear moved dizzy with blue hair. kwaaang! KwaKwaKwabang! Each one was a desperate effort aimed at the vital point. "...! Roy Fang faltered and stepped back. The attribute magic on his fist was slightly shaken. Balance. started to crumble kuung. The hound''s knees touched the floor. The extreme pain that had already crossed the limit paralyzed even reason. "Turn it off..." I barely let out a moan. Now even the screams don''t come out properly. I never imagined it would be so painful. "Kill... all... oh." Words that should never have come out of the Hound''s mouth came out. I had already learned how to respond to torture a long time ago, but the sensation of swallowing my whole body right now was nothing compared to what I had experienced until now. This . Because it was a curse on the crown to punish those who did not deserve it. "I''m not the type to enjoy seeing other people suffer, I''m sorry, but I can''t do it yet." Jinhyuk shrugged. ability copy. Because there was still one last thing to be done. "But, there is a way. If you solve one thing, I''ll make it easier." "What is it?" If I can end this pain, I can do anything. It seemed that he could even sell his soul. "That great sword. Hand it over." A favorite weapon possessed by the fourth-ranked Old Guard. This will surely satisfy the requirements for copying abilities. "...my sword...?" Hound was in a moment of trouble. However, it was only for a short time. "I know... I''ll give it to you. Pass it over... Teni, please. Please finish it soon." [The transfer of ownership of the weapon has been completed.] [You have acquired the Great Sword ''Mortal Execution Sword''!] Whoops. Jinhyuk lightly swung the sword with one hand. indeed. Although the sword was over 2m long, the weight was hardly felt. It must have been engraved with dozens of ''engravings'' engraved with runes in the super lightweight magic. If this... . [Sacrifice a mortal executioner.] [Exceeded requirements met!] [Successful to copy ability from ''hound''!] [The Ring of Reverse Heaven] Description: The ability to destroy the target by receiving the Blessing of the ancient runes. Depending on the skill level, the target can range from a creature to a relic. Also, if you have the Inverse Wheel, your Strength stat will increase by +20. [The copied ability is stored in ''Memory of the World''.] I knew it! It is effective to sacrifice a weapon that is much higher than the fangs. Thanks to exceeding the allowable limit, I finally got the unique spear. "Keep your promise..." "Ah ." okay. I promised If you hand over the weapon, I will end this pain. I have no intention of letting such a tycoon be devoured by the Crown, even without begging so much. Even if the Hall of Fame was second to none, I couldn''t give up the experience that exceeded my imagination. Jinhyuk put another arrow on his molar. And the protests were liberated. poop! The body of the hound fell backwards with a clean crackling sound. Now that the forehead has been pierced orthodox, you will not feel any more pain. as if to prove it. T-tiring! [Level has risen.] [Level has risen.] [Level is... .] [ ] It went up.] Numerous status windows appeared. 10 levels. Finally, the fierce battle came to an end. ''Other guys are running away with their tails.'' Jinhyuk''s gaze turned to the side. BlackRock and Roy Fang Selly, who have lost their leader, are seen quickly fleeing. If we pursue them, we can do it, but they aren''t our number one priority. ''It doesn''t matter that we''ll meet again anyway to copy the ability.'' Nyarlathotep and Hasting, who learned of this, will move again. So, you just need to take it easy and prepare well. [The unique abilities ''Star Blessing'' and ''Mandala'' are activated!] Pants... . A warm feeling permeated his entire body. In order not to make the mistake the hound made, it was necessary to fully recover the lost stamina and mana. When the ''Jintae Cheonghwarang Simbeop'' was applied, mana started to fill up at a very high speed. A momentary gap. Jinhyuk activated the personal status window. Name: Kang Jin-hyuk Gender: Male Level: 154 Strength 109 Dexterity 91 Stamina 67 mana 402 Gap 100 Luck 10 Adaptive 78 Elemental 106.25 Owned Stat Points: 30 Coins held: 9,241,358 Occupation: Ruler of the Runes Unique Holy Spear: Ring of Reverse Heaven Unique Abilities: ''Fusion'', ''Sword Grave'', ''Star Blessing'', ''Anubis'' Judgment'', ''Blood Magic'', ''Mandala'', ''1 second Invincible'', ''Thousand Poison'', ''White Beast'', ''All Things (f鹲)'', ''Sanctuary of the Sun'', ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong (ħʹ)'', ''Triple Magic'', '' Giant Strike'', ''Breath of Fire Dragon'', ''High Speed Sword'', ''Tomb Grave''s Right Arm'', ''Berserker'', ''Wind Realm'', ''Shadow Kill'', ''Primal ''Flame'', ''Blood Explosion'', ''Black Tears'', ''Tomb Grave''s Bridge'', ''Strong God (y)'', ''Core of Legion'', ''Ancient barrier'', ''Heavenly Demon'' )'', ''Mentra Timing'', ''Nihilism'', ''Annihilation'' skill: The content of skill is too much, so ''put it down'' state is switched. Jinhyuk looked at the slightly changed status window and clenched his fist slightly. Above the category of unique abilities . There is a new category called ''unique spear''. A name festival that can only be used by the chosen among the residents. Even those fatal abilities began to be recorded in the Infinite Library. ''Now it''s time to distribute some stats.'' A whopping 10 levels. It goes without saying, but the level of experience given like a giant is also different. After all, it was like dealing with one of the heroes belonging to the Great Myth. ''Even if all Karma is not recognized because of the crown of defeat, this is more than expected.'' the problem is . Where do you distribute your stats? A void created by the loss of a canine tooth. To get that weapon in the dunes of the sun, you have to take some risk. The worries didn''t last long. [Agility increases from 91 to 121!] All 30 points were invested in Agility. sabak . The feel of stepping on the sand has definitely changed. Did your body become as light as a feather? I feel the reward of pouring out so many points. You''ll see exactly how much has changed in a moment. Jinhyuk checked his body. ''great.'' Now mana and stamina have returned to some extent. Finally, from the battle between Shub Niguras and Heavenly Demon. up to today. The time has come to see the results of your hard work. slowly. His fingertips turned towards the black crown on the sand. [The owner of the Crown of Doom has been decided!] [The owner is player Jinhyuk Kang!] [The higher powers begin to notice about you.] [Crown of Doom] Acquisition Difficulty: Unmeasurable Durability: It will never break under any circumstances. All stats you have: +30 Critical Chance: 30% When dealing with divinity, skill level increases by +3. You will be able to use the squadron owner''s unique abilities up to the polarity. (Time limit: 3 minutes) The detailed stats of the crown vary depending on the previous owners. If you''ve played Tower of Trials 10 times, it means that the stats the Crown has are also different. In that sense. This crown was superior to any other crowns I had ever seen. Amazing, Great. "Kya!" Jinhyuk couldn''t stand the shouts that came out. The 43rd floor of the Tower of Trials. The endlessly soaring mountains and the clouds that hung around them transcended the landscape that existed in this world. Olympus. It is the home of a large force that has been actively expanding its power in recent years. and. tap... . tap. Several men and women stood around a bonfire in the center of the temple. Those are the Primary Gods of Olympus. "The owner of the crown of doom has been decided." The old man with a long black beard opened his mouth. ''The owner of the crown has been decided.'' At that fact, the atmosphere around him became very noisy. "Has there ever been a time when a player who has only been in the tower for two years has won the crown?" "No, it''s the first time since we entered the tower." "I heard that it was the angels on the side of Eden 7,000 years ago that got the crown the fastest, but I know that even that took more than 10 years." shortest period ever. It was an unbelievable result considering that it was not easy to even determine the position of the normal crown. This is because, for them, the players currently climbing were just kids who had just started to walk. "...Okay. Even if a human with no humble power got the crown. It won''t be able to keep it for long." A large man sitting at the top opened his mouth. Zeus. He was the supreme deity leading the Primary Gods of Olympus. At Zeus'' words, the muffled sound disappeared in an instant. "Hermes." "Yes, Father." "Put a messenger on the guy named Jinhyuk Kang. Don''t let him notice. Be careful as much as possible." "Can I just monitor?" "Yeah. As long as the other factions can smell it, they will try to take the crown from him. We will watch them bite each other and intervene last." There is no need to first set foot in a place where wild beasts are infested. When you run out of energy and are tired. It would be most effective to decorate the last one. right then kwaang! with a roar. A new person appeared in the temple. A warrior armed with golden armor. ''Ares'', the god of war. "All preparations are complete. Please give the order." Ares, who jumped up from the bottom of the mountain at once, bowed his head. "The soldiers and their ''weapons''?" "Yes. Perfect. Let''s see for yourself." "Hmm." Zeus got up slowly and looked down at Olympus. A huge number of troops were gathered on the ground. Elite troops armed with full body armor are waiting for the orders of the gods to be issued. "Okay. From now on, we will wipe out all the Nordics and make the floor they rule ours." The war has begun. CH 356 new weapon (1) The crown of doom with a newly determined owner. And the power war of the upper tier giant, Olympus. With these two issues, the whole tower was heated up. Even so, the tense tension that felt like the day before the storm had completely exploded. "...how are things going?" The beautiful-looking angel opened his mouth. Gabriel. She was in charge of this investigation on behalf of ''Eden''. To Gabriel''s question, answers poured in from here and there. "Currently, Olympus has invaded the 41st floor in earnest. Previously, local warfare was waged in areas under the influence of the two factions, but now a large-scale all-out war is occurring simultaneously." With the Greek ''Olympus''. Nordic Ragnarok. The two factions entered a battle that put each other''s fortunes as of yesterday. "Ragnarok''s Primary Gods are also responding, but the power gap is too wide to begin with." "We have already lost 5 important bases. Even the road to Jotunheim is blocked. If this is the case, maybe..." Jotunheim is one of the top ruins on the 41st floor. The fact that it came within range of such a heart. It meant that the power difference was one-sided. It must have been that Olympus had prepared well and went there. "The balance could be broken." Gabriel looked at the status window with a serious face. Even at this moment, there were fireworks and ice storms, and countless lives were dying out. right then "Archangel. Are we not participating in the war?" A muscular angel with large wings opened his mouth. Kizakiel. As a battle-type angel, he has mainly played the role of crushing enemies on the front line. It''s militant, of course. Rather, because of his cruel nature, he was the object of fear regardless of the enemy. blood judgment. If there was a modifier to refer to Kizakiel, it would be this. "Do you think the commander of a combat corps should participate in a war between two factions?" "Protecting the balance of the tower is God''s law, and isn''t it our mission at the same time? Of course, I think we should mace those who disturb the upper floors." A huge Dou Qi rose from Kizakiel''s body. A tangible flame engulfed the whole body. It is such an overwhelming mana that the other angels falter and step back. "If I give orders and become Primary God, I will completely annihilate the two blasphemous forces, and I will pull out the crown and even the head of a human named Jinhyuk Kang." Killing the two factions was also a problem, but securing the crown of defeat was also important. This is because Eden also wanted to challenge the 50th floor once again by collecting all the crowns. However. "I''ve made a deal with him. At least until you get the item, try to avoid any conflict with him for any reason." The Necronomicon, an expedition journal on the 50th floor. Right now, this book is more important than the crown. If I put my mind to it in Eden, I was able to secure the crown somehow... . No matter how hard I tried, I couldn''t get that book. "...I guess there is something I don''t know. I see. If that''s what the Archangel means..." Kizakiel clenched her lips as if something was not desired. However, he did not openly express his dissatisfaction. No matter how much the commander of the battle corps that leads tens of thousands of angels. Because he couldn''t openly disobey Gabriel''s orders. "and." Before leaving, Gabriel added a word. "Don''t forget to secure a guide." "Is that human horse called Phesis?" "Yes. That''s right." Several guides in the tower. Among them, the person who stood out the most was the person called Pesis. ''It must be brought to our side.'' I like to travel alone, so it was difficult to make contact. You have to create an incentive somehow. At least find someone who has contact with him. same time. Whoops! Whoops! Whoops! Jinhyeok, who sent the party out of the tower first, was digging digging into the sand. There are two ways to attack the 19th floor. Basically, it is to either deal with the boss monster or find a hidden place and secure the relic in the innermost place. And Jinhyuk chose the latter among them. "Hmm." Jinhyuk scratched his chin. Even with a map from Euasis, it''s usually not difficult to find the exact location of the room where the weapon is stored due to a similar trait that is constantly moving. Only a rough estimate based on memory is possible. The rest depended on animal intuition and manual labor that vomited. ''Thanks to you, I''ve been playing hard with the shovel in the sand for over 12 hours.'' More precisely... . "Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh" "I think I''m going to die... Master." "If you kill me, I won''t attack the owner even if I become a ghost." "Everyone, be quiet. My head hurts." He was in charge of supervising those who worked hard for him. A spectacular scene reminiscent of a large-scale civil engineering construction site unfolded. The spirit beasts were sweating profusely and were busy moving around to find the hidden room. "Let''s go to sleep. Don''t make a sound of being too sick. Let''s do our best. We''re almost there. Did you really feel it?" "It''s been 12 hours since I told you I could feel him, sir." Undine groaned. Seeing her small arms trembling, it must have been quite difficult. However. "therefore?" "Huh?" "My Undine, the request I''m making right now is precious and dirty, so I can''t do it. Is this what you mean?" "Well, it''s not there''s something called the Spirit Kwon, which means that if we work for an hour, we want to take a 10-minute break." "Hey. Do you want to rest?" "A lot if not a lot, I think you need at least a break. Everyone, right?" Undine squeezed her courage and asked the rest of the spirits for help. It seems that the spirit beasts want to add a little courage. He nodded in front of him. "Yeah. If you say it''s hard, you should rest." "really!?" "Yeah. Then. Take a good rest." Jinhyuk smiled and summoned Hellfire. "For a very long time." Undine''s water began to turn lukewarm at the scorching boots. "Hey Iik! I''ll work. I''ll work hard." "Everyone works like a dog. Hurry up!" "Let''s work. Work." Once again, the scene was about to move. right then "Wait. Wait." Jinhyuk took out the kettle and poured the blueish liquid. A tea brewed with one lowest-grade magic stone. It''s a cheap, energy-boosting drink chilled with a few ice cubes. "Before we start, let''s all have a glass of this. You''ll be a little tired." "Lord, lord..." "thanks ." "I''ll even prepare something like this for you." There was excitement in everyone''s eyes. That''s why employees shouldn''t be hungry. Normally, he instills fear by exploiting like a vicious man. When that threshold is reached, it''s best to give them dried carrots. ''Because a bad man is not fatal for nothing.'' Jin-hyeok, who had moderated the complaints of the spirit beasts, began to think about where the room could be again. A quasi moving at 10 km/h. Humidity is 17.5% Due to the battle with the hound a while ago, the angle of the passage was changed by about 1.5 degrees, so this should be reflected in the calculation. There were dozens of variables, but there was an experience of excavating relics under even worse conditions. "There, the second tunnel from the left. Yes, proceed from there next." "Here? You said there were no gnomes here?" Even the spirits of the earth tilted their heads. He couldn''t feel the waves coming through the veins. Nevertheless, Jinhyuk proceeded with the construction based on his intuition and experience. ''Now we''re almost there.'' I instinctively felt that the high ground was not far away. Rather, the problem is after finding a room... . ''To break through the traps and guardians inside, the current power is a little too much.'' You need a strong supporter. In order to break through the traps inside, agility as well as other things were required. But right then. uuung! The space around Jinhyuk was distorted. [The upper divinity is partly embodied!] The red status window flickered continuously. "who ." The curiosity didn''t last very long. Parting the space, what appeared was a very familiar figure. Beriel. One of the Demon Kings of the demon world appeared on the 19th floor of the tower. of course. Whether it was a burden on the perfect Hyunhyun, the figure was much smaller. About the same size as Ellis. Beliel, flapping her little devil''s wings, sat down on Jinhyuk''s shoulder with difficulty. "Huh. Huh. Huh. Damn it. It''s a snort, but I think I''m going to die because it''s hard to move with one body." Beliel breathed in like a squirrel. "Hey. What''s going on here? I don''t think it''s a very good option for a vacation spot. Here." "Profit! What''s going on! Surely, didn''t you say that you would become my apostle? But, I didn''t keep that promise and I was just smoking, so I didn''t come here myself!" Ah . After all, I made that promise. It seems that the electric tone came a few times, but I ignored it and forgot about it. "Ah. The Black Apostle. Of course I remembered." "Don''t lie to me!" "No, really. I was thinking of changing jobs reverently while looking for information about the demon world these days?" At Jinhyuk''s words, Beliel''s momentum softened slightly. "Then do you mean that you will sign a contract with me now?" "I really want to too, but I can''t sign a contract with you. Right now." "If you''re making excuses that don''t make sense again..." "Guntafer." Jinhyuk answered briefly. Divinity, which has built up a bad relationship from the fortress of giants, has now become a complete hostile relationship. The other day, at the auction house of the gods, I had met him in person. "He threatened me a while ago. If I make a contract with you, I will kill the stronghold I have and all those who belong to it. I was told that I would even use the relics I received from the Demon God, so there was no way for me to do it." "I mean, you said you''d use the sword of Kabalado... just to prevent you from becoming a black apostle?" "That''s probably why I don''t like it." Of course, this is a lie. However, there is no way for Beriel to confirm. This is because the personal communication between the divinity and the player was never seen by other divinities. "Besides, the relationship between Ragnarok and Olympus, to which the Nordic divinities belong, is also difficult. As you know, I have several interests." "...about the two factions, I heard about it." "I have no choice but to get stronger and at least get a relic that can destroy the sword of Kabalado. That way, even if I make a contract with you, the demon world won''t be harmed." "Hmm. It''s not that there''s no reason at all. If growth is supported, no matter how much Guntaper is, he won''t be able to scheme behind the scenes." Beliel nodded as if in agreement. "In that sense, please help me a little." "Well?" "I have to go to a troublesome place right now, but after a big fight a while ago, all my colleagues left." To attack here... . You need a very strong body. CH 357 new weapon (2) kukukuku! As the gnomes overturned the ground once more, the piles of dirt filling the passage poured out. A red door appeared in the place that had been closed a while ago. "Wow! Master!" "The door came out just as the owner said!" "How the hell did you know?" The spirit beasts ran around in place. ''great .'' Jinhyuk had a satisfied smile. Intuition built up on the basis of the guidance and experience of Yuasis. Two strong pillars made the present result. "You guys are waiting here, securing a way out." "Huh? Are you and the Demon Clan going in together?" "That''s right. It''s a little far from the norm in this place. It''s going to be a little dangerous for you guys to go." Jinhyuk used the word ''dangerous''. The spirits themselves knew better than anyone what that meant. "Uh... uh huh." "Ooh, we''ll be digging a tunnel outside hard." "Please go and die not. You must come back safely!" The spirit beasts gave warm greetings. "Then, shall we go?" "Yeah. It''s been a while since I floated the ruins of the middle class, but it''s not bad." Beliel, who sat on Jinhyuk''s shoulder, nodded. The pupil is burning brightly. It must be a sign of his will to make the player he has set a strong point so as not to interfere with Guntafer or anything else. ''I''m sorry, but... .'' Can not help it. Originally, the Tower of Trials was a world where each other was used and used. And if it''s Beliel, I think I''ll help her once when I go to the demon world later. The reason he wants to turn such a strong player into a black apostle. Jinhyuk knew that. ''The principle is to repay the enemy 100 times and the favor only 1 times, but you should pay back 1 times.'' At least, he didn''t intend to betray a colleague he thought was precious. [Enter the Hidden Place of ''Felterhorn''] Let the door open. My eyesight turned black. And when I open my eyes again. Not a narrow and dark passageway, but a whole new place opened up. Whoops! Hwareuk! The torches arranged on the left and right burned all at once. The endless floor and the slender legs above it catch my eye. first gateway. ''The Legs of the Unchosen''. It is a structure that literally falls down if it cannot pass through the trap. jerk. Jinhyuk cautiously moved forward. "Is it okay to just go? At a glance, an unusual mana flows." "It''s okay. You just need to trust me." All patterns are known. The most important thing is the center of gravity. The key is to step on the ground with a constant weight. If the power distribution is not done properly, numerous traps will be activated immediately. of course, rumble! It is impossible to not activate all traps. The chakram melted into the darkness flew away with the sound of a chaff. A kind of boomerang in the form of a circle. It is an assassination weapon with the trait that its trajectory changes freely in the air. Awesome sweetheart! At the same time, dozens of harpoons were fired from all directions. Jinhyuk''s gaze quickly turned downward. Numerous characters engraved on the legs. I memorized the pattern here by using the positions of these characters. The end of the left corner of a character similar to ''f''. The part where two lines of a letter resembling ''y'' meet. For characters resembling '' '', place the central point in the center and fit the body 1cm to the right of it. Boo! Boo Woong! The harpoons split the air. Jinhyuk moved his body faster and faster according to the flying pattern. with this... All the basics were avoided. The chakram approaching completely hidden from its trajectory... . To be honest, it''s hard to predict until the last minute an attack hits. But it doesn''t matter. "Beriel." Because I brought a strong shield for this time. "no way ." An earthquake occurred in Beriel''s pupil. "go!" Jinhyuk threw Beliel, who was sitting on his shoulder, forward. Shush! The sound of breaking the wind has changed. This is because chakrams have the trait to fly towards the target in front of them. "Damn it..." kwaang! "Aww!" Beliel''s body, which had met with Chakram orthodox, was thrown away as it was. It''s still a very solid body. When you see that kind of sound coming from a body that needs to be cut like a radish at once. Still, befitting his reputation as the Demon King, he succeeded in defending by raising ''Dark Spectacle'' in that brief moment. "Good. Perfect." "Okay, you bastard! Are you going to kill me? Dare to use me as a shield, this is a challenge to the demon world!" Beliel flapped her wings and flew away. "No, it''s not, I''d be dead if you hadn''t stopped me before. And wouldn''t it be better to call this a proper teamwork rather than a shield?" "What kind of teamwork is that? If you really think that this body will play with such a trick..." "The words are so disappointing. I was just trying to lean on something much stronger than myself." "A strong being? I?" "Yes. You are the best Demon King among Demon Kings. I think you have the potential to rise to the position of Demon God in the future. So. It was something you could trust and rely on." "Ho-oh. Sure. Unless you''re a Demon King like me, you won''t be able to survive these traps." "Then then, why would I choose you over the others?" Jinhyuk put on more candy. This is the level of gently rubbing a brush made of green grapes on the esophagus. Has the sweetness melted away the brain? "Okay. Well, let me show you the greatness of this body. See what it means to be my apostle." Beriel took the lead. kwaang! "Aww!" Aww! "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Whoops! "Kwok!" There were roars and screams interspersed, but Beliel steadfastly moved forward to protect his pride. Thanks to this, I was able to pass through the first gate with great ease. All I had to do was cross my arms and walk slowly after. Jinhyuk and Beliel, who passed the first gate in an instant, reached the end of the passage. There was a long staircase leading down there. [The second gate ''Crypt of Toxic'' will be opened.] "Shh!" "Shh!" As soon as we went down, a crypt populated with vipers appeared. The number is enough to fill the size of the Jamsil Stadium. The good news is that it''s not a preemptive trap, right? It was a way of attacking people who broke into the interior only if they were within a certain range of the vipers. ''Considering these numbers, that''s not reassuring, but... .'' You don''t have to go through that hell again anyway. In the original case, I should wait about three days and find a point to slowly leave the area. Because now there is a valuable tank that will speed up the whole process. "You''re not afraid of snakes, are you?" "Haha hahaha. No wonder this body is afraid of poisonous snakes. Every time I can''t sleep, I drink a cup of black mamba''s poison ! It''s Beriel." okay? "Well then, I can go. I don''t have tolerance to poison, so I think I''ll die just by rubbing it. Again, inferior humans cannot be compared to the great Demon King." Jinhyuk pretended to be weak and wrapped his arms around his shoulders. "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Beliel walked among the vipers with a pale face. hey Except for pride, the word corpse is true. I never thought I''d really go into the middle of it. Not in the body, but in the form of a minimal alter ego. Whoops! Whoops! Ah. That''ll hurt a bit. The fangs went in the wrong place. "Aaaaaaah!" Soon after, a terrifying scream rang out. "Whoa..." Hasting couldn''t control his throbbing hair. I had no choice but to do so. It has been about 30,000 years since I first became the manager of the tower. And it has been about 10,000 years since I started working as a senior manager. I was able to get recognition from the beings on the 50th floor because I had done the job perfectly without a single mistake over those long years. All of those things piled up and piled up to reach who I am today. However. Just a while ago... . Cracks were forming in the painstakingly built tower. Because of only one player. "You mean he''s in the ruins on the 19th floor?" "Yes. I tried to attach a tail as you said, but strangely, the first mana wave was wrapped around the whole ruins, so I couldn''t get a peek inside." A low-level manager with the appearance of a hamster quickly shook his head. ''pearl'' Kind of Pan-M. Just recently, he became the first low-level manager and is doing an internship. Perhaps because a newcomer who doesn''t know anything yet is called by a senior manager, Pan-M has been unable to hide his uneasy appearance. At Panem''s words, Hasting''s eyebrows curve backwards. "It''s an area the manager can''t see. Do you think that makes sense?" "T, that''s for sure. Just in case Hasting-nim used the Primary God ''Administrator''s Cloak'', the force field remained the same." "...!" The fact that it cannot be seen as a robe of an administrator who can directly participate in the system. It means that something corresponding has intervened. There is only one being that can do this. 50th floor. The primordial beings moved directly. ''There is no sign of manifestation... Then maybe?'' In an instant, lightning flashed through Hasting''s mind. Old Guard. The hunting dogs of Nyarlathotep were put in. ''Without a word to me... Did you just call them?'' Hasting bit his molars. Is it retaliation for the mistake of the last time? Or was it because he said he couldn''t trust himself any more? The answer to that is not known at this time. No, you don''t even need to know. As long as the Old Guards were deployed, there was no chance of surviving Jinhyuk. But right then. [Emergency reply] A purple message flew in front of Hasting. Breaking news from the 50th floor. its contents. "Unbelievable ." It was shocking. The death of the hound in the upper ranks and the rout of the Old Guards. And even the contents of ordering the follow-up of this incident. Everything was unexpected. '' This is your chance.'' A golden opportunity to make up for the mistakes of the past appeared in front of us. this must be caught Sand dunes of the sun, dunes of the sun... . Hasting''s mind spins rapidly. A void created by sacrificing ''Pentagris Fangs''. Why are you still looking for something in the sand dunes? Clues and clues are combined. What does Jinhyuk want now? where you are heading It didn''t take long to figure out the purpose. ''I plan to go to Hidden Place and defeat the 19th floor and another weapon at once.'' Indeed, there is no sense of clutter in the movement. All steps lead to the optimal route to climb the tower. But in other words, it means that it can be predicted that much. ''I''ll never let it go the way I want it to.'' the problem is. Who are you going to send? You need someone with excellent skills and a variable that can outdo your opponent. ''The dragons are not yet.'' The deal with the Balaur was over, but it still took more time for the plan to come true. This means that it is not a card that can be used right now. right at that moment. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Someone has approached Hasting''s realm. "Can I come in here for a moment? Senior Manager." CH 358 new weapon (3) "Come in." With Hasting''s permission, the space was distorted. kuung! It was none other than an angel who appeared with heavy footsteps. It was Kizakiel. "Long time no see. Senior Manager." A higher spirit entity belonging to Eden has approached the realm of Hasting. "Fufu. It''s been a while since we met... I can''t even remember." "The last time I met the manager, he was still an intermediate manager." "It was. At that time, Kizakiel-sama was not a warrior captain, but an angel." Meeting after tens of thousands of years. To that extent, the managers did not make contact with the residents inside the tower. Because that was common sense and that was the rule. "Pan M. You should go out now. I think we need to talk seriously from now on." "Oh, I see." Panem quickly disappeared out of the door. "Yongke also found this place. Ostensibly, it is a place unknown to the residents." "I mobilized my own means. I ask for your understanding as it is such an important task." "Tell me." Hasting slyly reached out and gestured for him to sit down. A bit cold wine and cheese, and bread made with butter, which can only be obtained on the 40th floor, was added. "I''m sure Hasting-sama is well aware of the current situation, such as wars of power and possession of the crown." "Of course. Everything that happens in the tower is being monitored by our management office." "Well, what do you think of a player who has just entered the tower and has one of the tower''s most noble relics?" "That''s of course I think that any object must have an owner that fits the class of the object. Isn''t that the same position on the Eden side as well?" Kizakiel''s face hardened even more. "It''s not. Gabriel... he made a contract with that man, and he told me not to touch it." "I wonder. Is that true? The great archangel in heaven said such irresponsible words..." Hasting deliberately let out an exaggerated exclamation. "It was hard for me to believe, but it''s true. And such indulgence is against God''s law. If it doesn''t move from above, I thought I should do it too." "Indeed, I understand what it means to be unusual. Then, what am I supposed to do?" "If you only tell me about the position of the person named Jinhyuk Kang, I will take care of that by myself." Kizakiel pulled out a white light from the subspace. The holy relic ''Joshua''s horn''. One of the strongest relics belonging to Eden, which destroyed the fortress, appeared. "You can only do one attack downstairs, though." okay. One time is enough. Because the blow from ''Joshua''s Horn'', which has an absolute judgment effect, was the same as Zeus'' ''Astrape''. As a single target attack, this means that it is a top-ranked strike. "That''s... a pretty interesting proposition." Hasting''s lips twisted slightly. Absolutely perfect timing. Finally, a conversion card that can put an end to the disgusting leeches has arrived. Aww! Another gate collapsed with a huge explosion. "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha..." Bariel, who was in full swing, staggered and flew up. Seeing smoke coming out of the wings makes me feel a little sad. That''s why you shouldn''t take pride in yourself. "Yeah. It''s amazing. I never thought I''d be able to break through all of these traps. The real Demon King is amazing." "Fufu... this body... it''s not called the strongest in the demon world for nothing. If I put my mind to it..." Beriel''s words could not be finished. kwaaang! This is because the heavy metal ball that appeared along with the subspace collided with the head. "...gagging." Beliel lost his balance and staggered in mid-air. Now that the exit was in sight, I stopped being vigilant. It was also the cause of being hit in the back of the head because it was such a sudden blow. A body that slowly disappears. Mana is all depleted and they are trying to return to the original demon world. "Ah !" I forgot to say it. I stopped forgetting that this trap existed at the last gate. Again, this is a pure mistake. It was never my intention to avoid the pressure of becoming a Black Apostle or anything like that. Jinhyuk tried to calm his twitching lips and looked at Beriel. "It''s really unfortunate that we couldn''t be together until the end, but I''ll never forget you helped me today." "You you must have seen where the ball fell at the end but " "It''s an illusion. Just in time there were flies flying over there." "This... a man without blood or tears." Beliel took a deep breath. "After all, you have to become a Demon Clan. You have the best qualities than anyone else." at the end of that word. Beliel''s clones were scattered and scattered. ''Demon Clan... .'' It looks like it would be fun too. If you do that to the 3rd job change, you will have to be in a hostile relationship with Eden forever, but the bitter taste will never be felt when you choose another place. However, that is not an issue to consider now. The fight between factions and the 3rd job change were enough topics to think about after a few months. ''First, let''s buy some light preparations.'' Before going inside, I had a shopping list to make some purchases. Jinhyuk, who entered the ''coin exchange'', quickly swept the items. -Caramel Milk Powder 1kg - 1,000 Coins - 1 Perennial Glacial Stone - 30,000 Coins - 1 sack of Otor River Catnip - 2,500 Coins -100 Twin Ladybugs - 10,000 Coins great. This has everything you need. Jinhyuk took a step forward. All of the 10 gates have already been breached, and only the last one remains. From now on, it is a part that has to be solved by herself, not with Beriel''s help. rumble! The last door was opened. [Enter the 11th gate ''Havelian''s Nest''.] fussing I felt something breathing. White claw hairs on a long body reaching about 7m. It looks like it is reminiscent of a weasel family. Havelian. Like Pentagris, it is one of the Mythical beasts that stay in the tower. "Kyaong." Having found the intruder, the Havellian roared low. While not hiding the boundaries against those who recklessly set foot on their territory. "Don''t worry. I didn''t come here to hurt you." Jinhyuk raised his hands and declared that he had no intention of harming him. I came here only to secure the ''crystal'' inside the nest. I didn''t intend to fight with the Havelian. Of course, that doesn''t mean that the Mythical beast will be quiet. In the first place, no matter how gentle Mythical beast was, there was no case of looking at the one who broke into my room. "Kyao!" When Jinhyeok did not back down, Havelian, who was lying down, got up. at the same time. kukukuku! A white frosty wind began to blow. Extreme cold properties. Like a Mythical beast that handles ice, the surrounding temperature has completely changed. I don''t think it was such a dry and hot place. come. Jinhyuk took a stance. Paaaah! Soon after, sharp blades made of ice rushed in. Seven in total from the front. It is a frontal attack focused solely on speed. [Lv18 ''Glacier Formation'' is activated!] Following Jinhyuk''s fingertips, a pure white crystal occurred. What matters is the computational speed. In other words, it is how quickly and perfectly it cancels out Havelian''s ice magic. KwaKwaKwabang! Fourteen ice stalks collided in midair. Perfect with no errors. "Kyao!?" Havelian''s body twitched slightly. The attack that had ended all intruders with one hit so far had gone in vain. But it was only for a brief moment that he panicked. "Kyao!" Pants! A dazzling brilliance that forms on the lips. A powerful mana was condensed that could not even be compared with a while ago. It is a breath unique to Mythical beast, similar to Dragon''s Breath. It goes without saying, but if you hit that orthodox, an ice fragment statue will be added to the nest. ''Glacier modeling'' Jinhyuk also poured mana generously. timing and power. and up to momentum. Snow and ice began to fall like crazy. ''Sword of the Sky''. A stream of ice that fell from the sky... . ''Sword of the Earth.'' A stream of ice that rose from the ground came into contact with one another. A terrifying cold engulfed Havelian''s whole body in one breath. However, even in the ice, the activation of Breath was still in progress. kukuku kuk kook! It took less than a second for the two swords to grab the Havelian. This is due to the unreasonably high resistance to magic properties. ''I didn''t even expect this to stop me in the first place.'' a momentary gap. [''Barrier of Cold'' is activated!] An ice shield engraved with runes appeared in front of Jinhyuk. Just like a giant mountain rising alone in the tundra. A wall was built against the breath. right at that moment. The condensed breath was released. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! I feel a huge shock. Breath struck the shield authentically. "!" ''Gap'' and ''Adaptive'' His abilities fluttered like crazy. His muscles were startled and he began to scream. a little bit. Just hold on a little longer. Breath won''t last forever. "Ugh..." as if to prove it. The breath that seemed to never end faded. It is now! Jinhyuk took out the items he had purchased from the subspace inventory in an instant. "Kyao?" Habelian could not hide his embarrassment once again at Jinhyuk''s outrageous behavior. Instead of taking out a weapon, he brought out all kinds of food ingredients, so it was absurd. [''Caramel Milk Powder 1kg'' and ''Perennial Glacial Stone'' are synthesized.] Small, white ice that began to grind. There, the mana dissolved in the air by the breath began to seep in. Then a strange scent spread. "Kya... oh?" Having smelled the scent for the first time in his life, Havelian moved his tail softly involuntarily. ''I''m going to salivate.'' Jinhyuk smirked. Each of the items I bought now did not appeal to the Havelians individually, but when combined into one, they create tremendous synergy. In particular, if the unique mana that flows through ''Breath'' is added, should it be said that a delicacy that can''t live and die is completed? There. ''Another World Restaurant'' Due to skill, recipes optimized for feline Mythical beast have also been added. No matter how much mythical beast lives on only dew, it will not be able to withstand it. Of course, ''mentra timing'' and ''sympathy'' skill also did a great job in breaking down that iron-walled vigilance. "Kya, Kyao..." Havelian sniffed and approached the freshly made shaved ice. All of a sudden, the tail was moving left and right like crazy. Perhaps there was still a little bit of vigilance left, and he hadn''t completely released his defensive posture. And the last remaining glass shield... . lick. The moment I licked the shaved ice with my tongue, it melted and disappeared like cotton candy. " !!" Havelian put his head in the shaved ice at once. I think that eating crabs with their eyes closed is what they are saying after seeing this. ''Now I can easily secure a decision.'' Jinhyuk''s gaze turned to the center of the nest. A crystal with indescribable light. Finally, the time has come to solve the last chores in the dunes of the sun. CH 359 new weapon (4) huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo White cold air poured down with a beautiful light. The strongest weapon with ice properties sleeping in the sand dunes of the sun. ''Havelian''s soul''. This crystal, infused with the chill of the past Havellians, was a treasure of great value in itself. ''If smelted properly, you can extract much better specs than fangs.'' Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva. Like frozen tears, the soul of the Havellian, which possesses a tremendous amount of cold, can cause serious damage if touched with bare hands. This is because, no matter how many layers of glacier modeling they were wearing, they could not escape from the cold. However. I did not come here without such preparation. Jinhyuk took out a feather that was blazing in the subspace. ''Phoenix Feather''. This is a special item obtained from the 7th floor of the tower the other day. Whoops! [Increases resistance to cold properties by 500%!] [Phoenix Feather''s life is consumed very quickly!] Pachi rule! Pachichi... now . It is a waste to be destroyed in this one time, but without extracting the maximum value, it can only create a situation where neither porridge nor rice is possible. Rather... . ''I bet everything at once this time.'' Jinhyuk stretched out his hand burning red. Creepy! "...!" Even with so many layers of flames, I can feel the chill. It is said that it is truly disgusting. However. ''Is it possible.'' How to divide cold air classes. The point is precisely the part that slightly protrudes 5 cm above the bottom of the crystal. Jinhyuk grabbed the part where the cold was the weakest. Chi profit! When the fire and cold touched it, a huge amount of water vapor was spurted out. How long has it been? Finally, the central shards split left and right, and a pure white crystal was chosen. [You have acquired the Havelian Soul!] at Las ! got this in my hand Jinhyuk lightly swung the decision. round and round... . A sharp crystal about 50 cm long rotated counterclockwise. It is light yet well centered. Even if it hasn''t gone through the proper smelting process yet. ''It must mean that the raw materials are good.'' Jinhyuk looked at his decision through ''Eyes of Gluttony''. [Havelian''s Soul] Acquisition Difficulty: SS Attack power: 12,800 Durability: 580,000 / 580,000 It''s SS grade. Its attack power is over 10,000 and its durability is close to 600,000. ''Crazy. really.'' I was already looking forward to what kind of weapon would come out if the inspiration of Orun smelted it. So much so that I can''t stand it. Now, if only the remaining cold is captured, the attack on the 19th floor will also take place. However. " Well?" Jinhyuk suddenly raised his head. Jerrit! Jerrit! "no way ." Heavy energy felt all over the body. Goosebumps occur along the skin. "Kyao?" Even Havelian, who was preoccupied with eating shaved ice, raised his snout. To that extent, the mana facing this nest now was different. This unique spirit. I know what this is. Joshua''s horn. One of the strongest relics possessed by Eden is aiming at this place. But, does that make sense? Gabriel must have secured the Necronomicon, right? ''Did someone else intervene? Or, more attractive conditions?'' All kinds of cases came to mind, but there is no time to count the number of cases now. The important thing was that the relic of absolute judgment was aiming at this place. [Absolute judgment ''God''s Judgment'' is activated!] huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Havellian''s nest began to turn white. 30 seconds at most. After that, the nest itself will evaporate. ''Think.'' Jinhyuk shook his head. No matter how crowded the situation, there will be a gap where you can break through. 25 seconds. Time passes. Until he completely made the crystal his own, the attack was not recognized and he could not escape from this place. In other words, there is no way to avoid the attack from above. ''We have to make something to defend.'' Glacier modeling is unreasonable. Resurrection through ''Blessing of the Stars'' also cannot avoid the relics of Eden, which is the end of the divine power. Now 20 seconds. ''Invincible for 1 second'' can survive, but it literally only makes you last 1 second. It cannot survive in a long bombardment of ten seconds or so. 10 seconds. Either way, you now have to make a decision. At that moment, something flashed through Jinhyuk''s mind like lightning. lucky random box. This item was obtained along with a ticket to go to the auction house of the gods. If you use this... . The worries didn''t last long. His hands moved before his head. [''Lucky Random Box'' is open!] [Different types of items appear depending on the amount of mana you inject.] [Detailed probability] -Isilgram''s Armguards [B, drop rate: 17.5%] - Vitality Elixir [A, drop rate: 4.9%] . The lucky random box with an average of B rank or higher had a good probability to be counted among the gacha items. But what we need here is not an average B rank. 0.000000128% chance. It''s about breaking through the probability that it converges to almost zero. of course. I do not intend to expect the odds to simply depend on luck. Jinhyuk put his hand on the box. Probability and calculations are meaningless domains. It is infinitely close to impossible to inject the correct amount of mana. 4 seconds. A white pentagram appeared along the air. Due to the effect of the absolute judgment, everything around it began to be buried. right at that moment. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Blue waves fluttered along Jinhyuk''s fingertips. " " Originally, I had no intention of doing something crazy like this. Because the lucky random box was stored in a corner of the subspace for the purpose of exchange rather than use. ''Controlling the fine flow of mana in the nanoscale is too likely to fail no matter how much I am.'' However, unlike the past, if there is one thing I believe in... . The power of stats based on the title of ''The First Conqueror of the Tower''. Good luck and adaptability. It is a privilege only for those who have seen the top of the tower, turning the impossible into possible. A memory of extreme concentration and countless trials and errors. And Giyeon, who will make their footsteps shine, came together in one place. kukuku kuk kook! [''Joshua''s Horn'' is activated!] [Absolute judgment ''God''s Judgment'' is coming!] A huge light fell from the sky. The horn sounded to announce the end of Eden''s will. at the same time. [You have overcome the worst chance and obtained the best relic possessed by the ''Random Box of Fortune''!] A golden notification window indicating success appeared. done! Jinhyuk quickly and blurry caught the relic that the older brother had begun to equip. The square-shaped shield pointed towards the sky. [[Friedwen -] ''Face of the Evening'' answers the master''s call.] Magic circles comparable to Five Mangseong bloomed around the shield. It is as if a huge petal is blooming, an illusion arises. Like Joshua''s horn, this is one of the strongest shields that pursued divine power to the limit. Aww! An unimaginable roar shook the entire Havelian''s nest. Chi profit! Due to the collision between the relic and the relic, the surrounding area was completely turned into ruins. It is a relentless blow that shakes the axis inside the sand dunes. "The ribs... seem to have gone out three generations. At least this is the end... I''m lucky." Fortunately, there were no more serious injuries. You''ll have to suffer from some crazy muscle aches, though. "Kya, Kyao..." Havelian also looked around with frightened eyes. In fact, from his point of view, it must have been like a man who suddenly invaded his nest and brought a natural disaster. Still, he felt that he had protected himself from the enemy''s attack, so his vigilance had disappeared. Bingsu and Mentra taming also played a large part in stimulating the liking of Havelian. ''It''s not over yet.'' If Joshua''s horn was used, it means that the opponent is also making a plan. Much less, there is no way to leave an enemy who has withstood the blow. Jinhyuk quickly grabbed the decision. At least to fight him... . Just when you think so. [The upper divinity of the upper tier is descending!] [Restrictions are relaxed by senior admins!] Damn it. Is it already late? It doesn''t give you any time to prepare. A little while ago, an angel with white wings descended over the Five Mangseong Fortress. kuung! Massive, muscular body. Kizakiel is the commander of the combat corps. I''m sure you''ll meet this simple, ignorant and ignorant of the law here. There was no reason for Gabriel and Eden to hit the back of the head, but seeing this guy, I understand the attack from a while ago. ''Handing with Hasting... They''re trying to get the crown.'' The belief that only Eden should obtain all the crowns. That has resulted in what it is today. "Are you a human named Jinhyuk Kang?" Kizakiel''s gaze turned to Jinhyuk. "There are a lot of people looking for me these days. Yeah. That''s right. I''m Jinhyuk Kang." "Okay. I don''t like to talk long. Like anyone else, I don''t like to talk about a deal or a contract." Sreung! A sword engulfed in flames was drawn. "Give me the crown." It''s too direct, so it''s rather sloppy. Do I have to say that I have a personality who truly pursues only one purpose? "If you don''t like it?" "I will destroy you, of course, and all the forces to which you belong." "It''s a threat that''s funny." Jinhyuk smirked. "Boahani. It seems that he and Hasting are doing his own thing right now, but this situation. If Gabriel found out, he wouldn''t hate it? I''d strongly recommend thinking a little more carefully." "After this is over, I will stand up and pay the penalty for the uprising. But before I am annihilated, I will annihilate you as well." " " It means you can risk your life. People with this mindset are the most troublesome. Because it meant that I could sacrifice even one body for the sake of a cause. But on the other hand... . After knowing that he had abandoned the will of Eden and acted alone, the burden felt by this side was also significantly reduced. At least, not all of the great forces were in agreement with Kizakiel. ''This is the only way to get out of this situation.'' It''s not that difficult. Jinhyuk opened the subspace. What came out is the ''Crown of Doom''. "It''s not very stupid. Yeah. Pass it on. Then, I will guarantee the lives of you and your companions." "Hmm. Well, what should I do? Should I hand it over or not? I''m a little worried." Jinhyuk waved the crown over the very place where the ''Havelian''s Soul'' was. The endless abyss is a passage leading to the deepest part of the Sun''s sand dunes. If you go into that cave, you will disappear to the other floor of the tower, not the 19th floor. "You bastard...!" Kizakiel''s eyebrows curve backwards. kukukuku! The flames on the sword blazed even more intensely. "You''re making threats that I can''t even do! Do you think that such a shallow Excellent grade will work for me?" As soon as the screams of anger are over. "this." Too Wook! The crown has disappeared into the quasi. "Did your hand slip?" This is really a mistake. CH 360 new weapon (5) chwachwachwa chow chow... . The similarities were quickly sucked down. Naturally, the crown, along with the sand, disappeared from view in an instant. "Damn! Doing such a stupid thing! Are you insane!" "Well. It was really a mistake. If you are in a hurry, go inside and look for it." Whoops! "I will remember this." Kizakiel immediately flew into the pit. I knew it wouldn''t be easy, but I couldn''t give up the crown like this. I have to get my hands on it somehow. Because I couldn''t wait to see the crown disappear again for years. kwaang! A huge beam of light headed down the pit. "Hmm." Jinhyuk looked at Kizakiel who had disappeared, and had a satisfied smile. This removed one of the headaches. Now, Gabriel will notice about this, too, so you don''t have to worry about getting stabbed in the back by a muscular angel, at least for today. ''Now all that''s left is to retrieve the crown... .'' It goes without saying, but I have no intention of throwing away the highest level of relic that I obtained through death and death, just to expel only one Kizakiel. the problem is . The point is that neither Kizakiel nor himself knows where this pseudonym will go. Even Hastings would be impossible to grasp the exact flow of similarities. But only one. There was an existence that could perfectly read the flow of similarity. Jinhyuk''s gaze turned to the Havelian next to him. "I''m sorry I messed up the bedroom, can you help me just once?" "Kyaong?" Havelian tilted her head. "The thing I threw down right now. It''s exactly what I need. Besides, the guy who tried to kill you desperately wants to find it, how about you take a chance to give that idiot a good shot?" "Kyao!" Havelian stood up. As if to do so, it vigorously wags its tail from side to side. Something that couldn''t be done in the first place. After all, it was worthwhile to protect this guy using ''Freedwen''. For this very reason, I meekly gave up the ''crown of defeat''. To catch two rabbits at once. fault! Havelian jumped towards the pit. Kizakiel went in much earlier, but who will laugh has already been decided. No matter how fast they fly, they will not be able to obtain the crown before the Havellian, who has a complete grasp of the interior. ''While waiting, I''ll have to master this perfectly.'' Jinhyuk concentrated his mind on the long ice crystal he held in his hand. Cold energy runs from your fingertips to your heart. Because delicate control was required, a cold sweat ran down his forehead. How long has it been? [Crystal is now in full form!] Pants! The cold air flowing from the ''Havelian''s Soul'' was perfectly captured. at the same time. T-tiring! [The 19th floor has been attacked!] [The greatest achievement: player Jinhyuk Kang] [You can choose one of three rewards in return for the first attack.] [You have accomplished an amazing thing.] [This event will be inducted into the ''Hall of Fame'' tomorrow!] 1. Coins - 4 times more coins than the existing rewards. 2. Special Item - One of the items to help you attack the 20th floor is randomly distributed. 3. Base-related - One of the items to reinforce existing bases or attack new bases is randomly paid. There are a total of three rewards to choose from. "Hmm ." Jinhyuk carefully checked the rewards. First first. ''A 4x coin is definitely attractive.'' As long as the absolute value is guaranteed, you can use coins to purchase items or spend them elsewhere. Because having a lot of basic bullets meant hitting at least average. But, considering the other two... . The advantage is probably diminished. Jinhyuk looked at the second option. If it''s on the 20th floor, it''s mainly about quantity and occupation. It will be useful there... . This also helps a lot. Considering Kizakiel and the rest of the forces, it was difficult to give up the rewards that could strengthen the base. " " This time, the trouble took a long time. Both have their own merits, so the future outcome will only tell you which one is the right choice. And finally. "I''ll choose the second one." Jinhyuk made a decision. [Hidden rewards are given.] [Time remaining until opening 1D: 23H: 59M: 59S] You can check it out two days later. Going to the 20th floor will be at least after that. right then "Kyao!" In the pit, the elated Havelian''s roar resounded. Now that I''ve finished all my chores here, it''s time to go outside first. A day has passed since I came out of the tower. Fatigue in body and mind has accumulated as much as he has run without hesitation. Because of this, Jinhyuk was thinking of enjoying the long-awaited rest. The place I found was an escape room cafe located in Hongdae. Elise''s eyes twinkled. "Oh oh oh! Isn''t this place so famous among humans?" "Yeah. I heard that Yeonhwa and Taemin made reservations for me. They said they had to go with you unconditionally, so they were calling for a new person?" "You seem like a really thoughtful kid. It was the first time I met them personally, but we had a very satisfying conversation." "Ah, that''s right. I heard you two met yesterday, didn''t you?" Did I suddenly have to go out at night? I remember Alice running out of the hotel late at night. "Yes, it is. They are just acquaintances of the contractor, and I also have a lot of questions in this age, so I asked for some advice. Isn''t that wrong?" Alice hurriedly gave the reason. "That''s right. Well, I told you to rest as much as you want, so it''s up to you to do whatever you want." "Whew." A small sigh of relief. Already in Alice''s mind, yesterday''s tedious plan was passing by. -sister. Do you like Jinhyuk oppa? With a smirk, Yoo Yeon-hwa made a bomb-like remark and threw it away. Of course, Ellis immediately denied it, but in the first place in this field, it was impossible to avoid the eyes of modern wear and tear. All day long, family and honor. I knew how to fight and fight or fight for pride. When it comes to romantic feelings, he was like a newbie among newbies. - Don''t. Listen to me. I''ll show you how to break through that iron wall. -that''s right. It''s good to use a more aggressive method to show Jinhyuk well to hyung. Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min. The advice of the two followed. I have listed the reasons in detail about how to catch the other person''s heart, and the reason for making a reservation for an escape room with the theme of ''fear''. And that suggestion. It sounded quite plausible to Alice. - Pretend to be as scary as possible. Unnie is incredibly strong, so don''t smash everything when something like a ghost comes out for nothing. -It''s classic, but the basics are the most important. It seems like Elise noona doesn''t even know this. Elise diligently wrote down all the details in a memo pad. okay. The plan is perfect. Unlike usual, he is armed with a weak and delicate image. In addition to the ornaments handed down from generation to generation in Ataraxia, he has also provided short-term tutoring through various popular channels of Viewtube. However. I worked so hard to prepare! " " There was a girl with blue hair standing next to Jinhyuk. It was a homunculus, whether it was Frazier or Nabal, whom he met in the Sand Dunes of the Sun. "What else is this guy?" "Huh? Who are you? You know. Fre..." "I know who I am!" Elise clenched her fists. Her silver hair stood up. "Yeah, but why are you so angry?" "I thought I was only spending time with you!" Ah. Only the two of you? Was that an important point? Now I understand why Alice is angry. Seriously, the amount of ''Yokai shaved ice'' to be eaten later is a bit small for several people to share. It''s so delicious and it''s limited to 50 bowls a day. I can''t help but be greedy. nod nod. Jinhyuk nodded as if he understood. and on that look. quick. A string in Alice''s head broke. "You idiot!" Alice''s fists crossed the air. [The mountain lodge where the moon has disappeared] The theme is 5 stars for difficulty and 5 stars for horror. There is a myth that if a man and a woman with a good interest enter together in a mission that requires co-operation and a room that is as scary as a horror movie, it will surely come true. Therefore, Flexibility strongly recommended this. ''great. calm down. It''s not over yet.'' Alice caught her breath. I already knew everything about the traps and hidden passages in this room. It means that I didn''t spend the whole day yesterday and figure out the route in advance. A gloomy room full of cobwebs. profit... . A strange sound pierces the eardrums. The atmosphere subsided as coldly as if a gangster with a saw would enter the hut. "Geez, the contractor..." Elise pulled Jinhyuk''s sleeve tight with an awkward tone and expression. "Jim it''s scary. This place." The key points are the eyes that stimulate the protective instinct and the crouched body. However. "Don''t lie. You won''t open your eyes even if a whole village of ogres come, so what are you afraid of? Oh. If one of the dragon eggs or divinity has manifested here, you probably won''t know. It looks like I''m going to jump." "Hey." "Huh ?" "...do you want to die?" Words came out of nowhere. There were several important points after that, but no significant results were achieved. Rather, he had to turn his stomach several times because of Frey''s expressionless step. "No, Frey. That''s not how you do it. Now look. It means move the lock to the left three times." "The lock three times. Yeah. I see." Jinhyuk stood next to Frey and informed him step by step. Seeing the gentle touch of her hand, a thick tendon popped out of Elise''s forehead. "I... I don''t know how to solve this either. Can I turn this to the left?" Alice whimpered and turned the round lock. However, Jinhyuk did not listen to Alice''s request even with the back of his ear to explain to Frey. "Contractor! Isn''t Jim asking?" "Turn it to the left as well. Or roughly reverse it." "Left, left three times..." "Fray. It''s a different kind of lock. No, the manager told me. Look. First unlock the lock and then..." "Left ... three ... bur ... b." kwaduduk! Uduk! The iron lock began to crumble like a piece of paper. "You''re saying the same thing three times on the left eh!" at the same time. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Thick drops of blood gathered around Elise. "Eh, Elise? Are you crazy? Why are you doing this all of a sudden? This is where you sang to say you wanted to come." "I don''t need it all. I don''t need it all. Just." An unimaginable mana engulfed the entire escape room cafe. "Die! You idiot!" Aww! Soon after, huge fires erupted throughout the building. CH 361 Base Maintenance (1) citadel of giants. This place, which was initially set as a base, has grown to a ''medium/large'' level since Jinhyuk took over. It wasn''t the protection of the empire or internal factors, it was purely the result of building up the name of Jinhyeok. and currently. "Hey. We''re finally here." Jin-hyeok, Cheon Yu-seong, and Elise visited the fortress after a long absence. Only Teresa was unable to attend the event, as she had requested an urgent call from Europe. "Hmm. I found myself sooner than I thought. Antrad The skullcap wasn''t usually wild." Cheon Yuseong looked around as if in a strange way. "huh." Elise was full of vomit without knowing why. He didn''t seem to like the holiday he spent outside the tower this time. ''Are you still tired of the shaved ice?'' I guess I''ll have to leave it alone for a while. The three men passed through the main gate of the fortress and walked towards the flower garden. A place with familiar walled walls. Once upon a time, the memories of fighting frantically here came to mind. ''Still, I''m sorry. It all became a bud for now.'' Because of the presence of the base, other forces will not be able to touch it recklessly. Even for a full-fledged struggle for power at the upper level, it is absolutely necessary to reinforce the base. Since the foundation has already been laid, it has a different level of advantage compared to other players. right then "Oh, long time no see." The blonde man at the entrance to the garden smiled brightly. Abraham. A Grand Swordmaster belonging to the Empire. As much as he sided with the emperor during a civil war with the nobles, the status and power that Abraham currently had in the empire was beyond imagination. Even those who had risen to the rank of dukes were not able to make fun of their mouths in front of them. And next to him was Penheimer. "Player Jinhyuk Kang. You have worked very hard to come this far." "No. I''m really grateful that you took care of this place while I was away." Jinhyuk also welcomed the two of them warmly. It''s fun to meet the people you used to share with each other again. "Just like Primary God. We have strengthened the walls and spread out about 23 types of defense magic. At least 5 circles or more. There are 23 types of 5 circle magic... . Certainly, that is the highest level of defense for a fortress. Even within the empire, there were only a handful of castles that were this strong, except for the zodiac. There was even a white wood tangrasil and a barrier of paradise lost, so there was nothing to lose compared to a large-scale base. However. "The people trying to attack here aren''t just a bunch of guys." "You must have been caught up in something else, troublesome. It''s a bit scary to see a monster like yours react like that, isn''t it?" Abraham asked with interest. For him, who has sharpened his sword all his life, meeting many rivals was like a long-cherished dream. okay. That''s why fighters are good. Even a little bit of stimulation will make your body itch. "They''re from the upper floors. There was some friction while attacking the tower, but I''m grinding my teeth to see if I can see it. It''s hard to understand my movement perfectly, so if you''re aiming for it, there''s a good chance you''ll be aiming for this place." "Hey. The upper classes. Are you saying they''re invading this place? It''d be perfect for me to try out the new swordsmanship I''ve learned this time... No, it''s going to be very dangerous." Abraham wiggled his fingers, as if it was all right. On the other hand. Penheimer added a word with a worried face. "It may become a sea of fire again." The interior of the empire has just been stabilized, and the war with Moorim has also ended in a truce. You don''t want to blow away the golden age of peace and prosperity you''ve been looking for for so long with another war. Of course, the mind understands. ''Because I feel the same way in my country.'' However, as the Tower of Trials progresses, there is no safe place on the floor of the tower. As the upper layers are liberated, and as the crown gathers into one place, the binding force holding down the 50th floor also weakens. finally. Prehistoric beings whose powers were suppressed within the strict constraints of the system. Later, they crawl up to the lower floors of the tower at will. If that happens, the tower will inevitably turn into a gigantic hell. Knowing the future, Jinhyuk was slowly preparing the variables for the future. "Mr Penheimer." "Yes?" "Do you believe me?" " " a sudden question. Although it was short, the meaning contained in it was never light. If someone other than Jinhyeok had asked this question, he would have asked, "How in the world can you tell people to believe in words alone in front of such an important task?" however. " I believe in it." I had no choice but to believe. The future of an empire only in despair and countless kingdoms. The person who made me continue through the day when I lost hope and the collapsed Hwanggwon... . It was none other than Jinhyuk. When everyone said it was impossible, the hero who made it possible was Jinhyuk in front of him. "Then, trust me again this time. The Empire won''t be swept away by the phone again. I''ll stop it from happening." "I''m sorry. I stopped thinking only about my future and spoke falsely. I forgot for a moment that all this peace was thanks to player Jinhyuk Kang." "Hahaha! Call me whenever you need me. If you want, me and the knights who follow me will run across the plains to this place, even if it''s weak." With this, even the imperial support was promised. The detailed reinforcement of the fortress will be done in the spare time while staying in the Empire. I was planning on staying here for a few more days anyway to entrust the ''Havelian''s Soul'' to Orun. "Well then, we''ll go. I''ll let you hear it one more time before we leave." "Are you going? You''ve prepared a banquet in the Imperial Palace, aren''t you attending?" "A banquet?" "Yes. It is a great honor for us, if you and Elise, who is next to you, will also shine with Cheon Yoo-seong." "Hmm, thank you for your words... but the banquet..." It was when Jinhyuk was about to show his euphemistic refusal. "Nana Nana! Let''s go! Banquet!" Elise, who was constantly vomiting, burned her strong will. "Elise?" "I will go. I will definitely go." "Why are you coming out so aggressively all of a sudden?" "Well, that''s..." Elise remembered another trump card she kept in her subspace inventory. [Lost Ancient Empire Imperial Dress] The dress worn by the last princess of the Felstein Kingdom. The dress, crafted over the years by countless craftsmen, is a gem among precious jewels that even the Dragon covets. Durability 5,000 / 5,000 Special Effect: Increases charm by +100 when equipped. I failed outside the tower, but I''m going to have to succeed this time. Since there are no stupid saints, the odds are even higher. The pale, unresponsive blue hair didn''t seem like an opponent. "You should do such nonsensical things between yourself." Cheon Yoosung turned around as if he had lost interest. However. "Hmm. It''s a pity. I wanted to try sparring with you once this time." Abraham shrugged his shoulders lightly. "You wanted to sparring with me?" "Looks like you can use a sword quite well, I thought it would be a good practice partner." at that word. Cheon Yu-seong''s footsteps stopped immediately. "Hey. So. I think I''ll be good to use it as a practice partner... Does that mean?" "Yes. Well. I think so." "I''ll attend that damn banquet or whatever. It''d be better not to drink alcohol anyway. If you don''t want to regret losing an arm." "I look forward to it." Out of nowhere, a confrontation between the two took place. this . It seems that I will be forced to attend the banquet. bang! "Ouch!" kwaang! "Aww! Oh my!" kwaduk! "My hand slipped on this. Damn it!" "You crazy bastard! What will you do if you break down all of your normal kitchen knives!" In the forge, shouts and screams were mixed together. Seeing that his voice is higher than hammering, it seems he has come to the right place. "Hey, I made a mistake, so I''ll just give you two silvers. There''s no labor cost." "You sound like 2 silver. Sooner or later, the guards will tell you to arrest me. Wash your neck and wait. Kaak! A man hurriedly ran outside with a cleaver in two. "Eying. However, young people these days don''t believe in the craftsmanship of artisans... so..." "You have to trust the person you trust to believe it. I thought it would be destroyed right away, but it''s still in business. Orun." "Hey, how are you?" Orun''s eyebrows curve backwards. The person you most wanted to meet, but did not want to meet, entered the store. "Damn heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh "I wanted you to make a single material into a weapon. It''s a pretty high-quality material, so I think it''s difficult to handle at my level." Jinhyuk took out the ''Havelian''s Soul'' from the subspace inventory. A long crystal with a blue light radiated out in brilliance. "Hey, this is..." An earthquake occurred in Orun''s pupil. Dry saliva runs down your throat. I had no choice but to do so. Because such a rare material is not often seen. In a way, it was inevitable that the instinct of the past as a royal blacksmith was wriggling. "Is it possible?" "Go, it''s possible. Not possible." "Why are you so uneasy? There are a lot of complaints out there, too." "Kuhm! I made a mistake a while ago, but it was because I was handling a cleaver with a cleaver. This rare material will show off my skills. "It was." It was still not easy to handle properly, but Balmung was definitely helped by Orun. Whoops! "Then, shall we show off our skills in a little while?" Orun hummed and grabbed the giant hammer in the forge. "This cool and heavy feeling. It''s been a while." "I haven''t told you to do it yet, but I can loosen my hands a little more..." "Uhrut cha cha cha!" [Orun activates Lv18 ''Blacksmith of the Extinction''!] huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo A golden haze rose along the hammer. kwaaang! [Due to poor skill, the enhancement rate of ''Havelian''s Soul'' has decreased!] [Remaining: 2] "Huhu. Indeed, he''s not a sloppy guy. Good. It''s good. It tastes like this." How come I''m a little worried However, Orun''s hammer had already soared high again. kwaaang! The hammer struck the side of the crystal. A beautiful flame spread, and the hammer resonated softly. [Due to an absurd mistake, the enhancement rate of ''Havelian''s Soul'' has decreased!] [Remaining count: 1] Again this is a failure. "Still, I don''t know yet. The last time is the moment when the essence of a blacksmith is revealed! Trust me until the end." Trust me... . Of course, you have to believe it. only. "Note that." before the last hammer. Jinhyuk smiled and added. "If it breaks, this forge will also be broken." I plan on making it very fine. To leave no trace of existence in the world. "Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh..." A drop of cold sweat ran down Orun''s forehead. He knew better than anyone that those words weren''t a joke. uuung! The hammer shone much more intensely. And at that very moment. "Huh, huh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" kwaang! The last hammering exploded. CH 362 Base Maintenance (2) "Je, Jebaaal!" Orun''s hammering with all his heart exploded. Fireworks shot out in all directions. Only one chance left. If this fails again, the material will be destroyed. Of course, it was needless to say that the life of the blacksmith who destroyed the material would also be lost. pounding! pounding! pounding! One second passed like eternity. Orun''s eyelids opened slowly. Then at that very moment, T-tiring! Golden clouds poured down with a light sound. Success. "Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo going on going on!" Orun exclaimed. The joy of barely surviving and the pride of success were oozing out. "As expected, I believed. If you are the inspiration, you will succeed." "Yeah, yes. Actually, I knew that. Until now, I''ve done it on purpose to give you the proper tension. Orun shrugged her shoulders. After all, seeing that he shines at an important moment, it seems that his old skills have not completely disappeared. ''great.'' Jinhyuk approached the finished result with a satisfied smile. A blade that is a mixture of soft white light and blue light. A dagger that is about 40 cm long is a new weapon that will be used immediately. [[Havelian''s Soul] - Barnard] Grade: Indigo Durability: 17,000 / 17,000 Attack: 35,000 Features: Due to the light-weight magic, the weight can drop down to 1g. Each attack inflicts a bleed (+100) effect and increases the critical rate by 10%. Special skill: Protection of the Havellians (Passive) When fighting with an ancient species, a spirit beast, or a mythical beast species, the attack power is increased by 30%. Amazing, Great. I had nothing to say other than this. ''It''s a dagger, but it''s attacking like this, so it''s a bit embarrassing isn''t it?'' a whopping 35,000, There''s even a lightening magic attached to it, so he''ll be able to handle it even more skillfully. It was also quite satisfying that the handling sensation was similar to the fangs I had used before. But the most deceptive thing is . Neither weight nor damage nor critical or bleeding. ''Special skill''. As a Mythical beast species with high affinity, I liked the fact that it could pursue synergy with various races. Being able to receive a whopping 30% buff in a battle where victory or defeat is decided by one final difference meant that you could fight even higher-ranking species. With this, you will be able to play properly with not only Kizakiel, but also divinities such as Guntafer. "Thank you. I really like it." Jinhyuk moved his dagger lightly. The ''Barnard'', scattering blue brilliance, rotated in a smooth curve. The center of gravity is also perfect. The sharpness was the same. ''I want to quickly enter the dungeon or labyrinth.'' I wonder if this is the feeling that my whole body is itching. "I''m glad you were satisfied." "Well then, let''s go. The party is waiting in the zodiac." "You say you''re having a ball, are you going to attend?" "Sir Abraham forced an invitation to attend, so I was forced to attend." "Hmm, I''m not worried about the Empire, but other than that, be careful when going out to the middle floors." "What''s going on?" "This is advanced information from the Dwarven Kingdom, heh heh. Great!" Orun coughed a lot, and his tail was blurred. look at this This squirrel-like inspirational guy... ? "Huh. I heard that there are a lot of good wines at the banquet hosted by the Empire. I think I can sneak a few jars." "Oh! I love that wine, too, and I''d love to try it. It''s very easy to eat with goat''s thighs..." "Okay. So what information?" As Jinhyuk urged, Orun slowly opened his mouth. "Well, let''s talk about the 20th floor. Heard that players from your world went there on that floor a while ago." If the players who went to the 20th floor... . Teresa''s story. Immediately after the 19th floor attack was over, large guilds centered on the European Olympus Guild declared a massive attack on the 20th floor. It was heated up in the news and various media for two days. ''The old Olympus Guild Deputy Master died... They say a new guy took the place.'' I heard that they cleaned up the interior very radically and achieved great results. What was your name? It''s been so crazy I can''t remember exactly. The important thing is that Teresa is with you in this raid. "What did the players do?" "Hmm. Before that, first of all, do you know what the 20th floor is like?" "I barely know." The 20th floor is a battlefield where all kinds of monsters and races are in harmony. Under the strict rule of weakness, he is a giant Dou Qi who fights fiercely for more territory even by one span. This means that in order to survive, you have to trample on others, and in order to rise above you, you have to bite others. However, even there, there were a few bans that should never be approached. Called ''The Little King''. They are monsters occupying important areas on the 20th floor. Since they each possessed powerful force and power, even those on the upper floors of the 20th floor did not invade their territory recklessly. However. "Is it possible that the players have entered one of those areas?" "He said yes. He was probably coveting the resources there. I heard that they are currently exploring around the mine to find a route inside." If there''s a resource I''m coveting, there''s only one. "Heartstone... mine." "Yeah. I went right there. Thanks to that, the guys occupying the mine are really pissed off. The players don''t know yet, but sooner or later the chase will catch up with them." " " In any case, I would have gone to a place that had nothing to do with attacking the 20th floor. He said something like climbing a tower for the sake of mankind. In fact, they were busy making up their own teeth. And that greed will have the worst consequences. ''Large guilds used to unite, but they wouldn''t be able to compete in volume battles... .'' Only those who have experienced it can never know how desperate the melee battle on the 20th floor is. so that, Jin Hyuk-man predicted what would happen to the guilds that were currently on the 20th floor. Aww! kukukuku! Blood gushed out with a huge explosion. Abigail Hwan (ǽІ). There would be no more words to describe this situation now. "Aww! My, my legs...!" "Healers! What are you doing now? Healing can''t keep up!" "Damn it, we''re trying our best to die! How do we get a mana!" It''s been 3 days since I came to the 20th floor. But, emotionally, it seemed like he had already spent three years here. It was a nightmare to attack the monsters that rushed every day that much. right then "Everyone, get behind me! Let''s buy some time!" Teresa came out to fix the broken shelves somehow. [Theresa activates her unique ability ''Blessing of the Stars''!] As the dazzling light fell, the monsters'' eyes focused on Teresa. The ''executors'' who were wearing black hoods and wielding long scythes changed their targets all at once. "Kill F. Kill it. Sacrifice it to the gods!" "A festival of blood! Build an altar of flesh and bones!" "Kee-e-e-e!" What the raid is currently fighting is the ''Cult of the Ghost''. Residents serving the Demon Clan, cultists of reason long gone. Although no systematic tactics or strategies were used, an army without fear was difficult on its own. Because of his tenacity to kill his opponent even if he died, the damage of the raid only grew out of control. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Teresa swung a sword made of starlight. "Gagging!" "Aww!" The body of the executioners was cut into fragments by the sword attack with the divine power overlapped. Of course, the executioners also counterattacked with their scythes, but they were unable to inflict fatal wounds on Teresa, who was armed with heavy armor. In an instant, Teresa, who had restored the line, jumped into the middle of the enemy line. Consuming warfare would be detrimental in the long run. If so, grab the enemy commander and end the fight quickly. kwaang! Unlike other executioners, a fanatic in a white hood. ''elder''. That guy is the leader of the fanatics. Theresa spurred the pace even more. Ordinary cultists and named-level executives also moved to protect the Elders. The walls are getting thicker. "Protect Mother Teresa!" "You must support us so we can get inside!" The rankers of the raid also put up a belt around their necks. kwaaang! kwaang! Support fire from long-distance dealers continued. And use that gap. "This is the end." Finally, Teresa was able to reach the elder. Teresa''s sword soared high into the sky. at the same time. "Two Ark. Akrava." The elder activated the blood system magic dyed red. The curse that binds the space and twists the limbs bound the entire armor. kwaduduk! The white armor began to dent little by little. "Ugh..." Teresa''s face contorted in pain. However, he did not stop wielding the sword. ''Something like this... Nothing.'' in a much more difficult situation. in much more extreme conditions. I knew the player who fought and won. So, you can''t whine or spit out painful sounds here. I mean, you can''t even take down an enemy like this, and you can''t stand still! Scratch! Teresa''s sword drew a clean trajectory. "Ark la ba " Phu Phu Pew! Blood gushing out like crazy. The elder''s body slowly collapsed. The fight ended with that. About an hour had passed since the battle was over. The raid was busy picking up the wounded and setting up camps. "Damn. What the hell is this floor like?" "There should be something called ''moderate''. Isn''t it too much to do this?" "I''m going to die from exhaustion if I do this. I can''t even remember the last time I rested comfortably. Damn it." "Yeah. They were forced to work without information. Didn''t this happen while trying to get all of his magic stones or something?" Players who are still in good shape have complained. Due to different fatigue in the play, the jerky and water did not go down my throat even when I was hungry. ''Everyone is very tired.'' Teresa looked around the camp with worried eyes. The situation is dangerous now that morale has fallen to the bottom. Unless you do something to turn things around... . Apart from attacking the floor, the large guilds gathered this time may all collapse. This means that the status of the whole of Europe will plummet to the ground. ''That''s not allowed.'' Even considering the Rosenberg family, that much must be stopped. "Whoa." Theresa hurriedly made her way towards the largest barracks. "Mister Teresa?" "What are you doing here?" The two players guarding the entrance to the barracks immediately stood up. "Is Mr. Fayden inside?" "Yes. The chief of engineering and the vice president of engineering are in a meeting right now. If you have a business, please wait a little bit. Because he said no one should come in." "It''s urgent. I need to see you right now." "Ha, but..." The male player blurred the end of his speech as if in trouble. But right then. kuung! A heavy shock shook the earth''s axis. "Aww!" "Hey, what is this?" "Call the rankers right now. Right now!" Something strange happened on the outside of the barracks. CH 363 Base Maintenance (3) Scratch! The sound of breaking metal and breaking bones. The cut is so clean that the word "art" comes out. "Finally... I got it. Magical Stone... coveted garbage." A giant monster holding a Hellbird that was over 2m tall spewed out life. It''s bigger than the executor I was dealing with a while ago. The top species ''slayer''. If up until now, they had been in the lower middle class of the Order of Ghosts, the one that appeared in front of them now was a monster with a higher class than the elders. At a glance, it is not uncommon. A much more terrifying energy than any other boss pressed down on his body. Rather than because of the absolute amount of mana . I feel repulsed by the sense of incongruity I just feel in existence itself. It''s probably because of the physiological disgust of not wanting to face it instinctively. right then "Damn! What are you doing!" A blonde man jumped out of the barracks and shouted. Fayden Romania. He was the deputy master of the Olympus Guild, and the person in charge of this raid''s engineering leader. The fact that this raid was planned, and that they attacked numerous difficult dungeons and labyrinths. These were all achievements that Fayden had built up. "Captain of Engineering!" "Don''t panic, face each other as a squad as you have always done! Defeat each one thoroughly so that they don''t take advantage of their numerical advantage!" "Ha, but, I can''t stop that goddamn monster!" Yes. I was able to deal with other fanatics, but only one. The only exception was the slayer who frantically wielded a hellbird at the front. Even the strongest tanks could not withstand a single blow and were being torn apart. In other words. It means that you cannot survive the attack with the armor you have now. "I''ll deal with that guy." Faiden immediately pulled out the Aegyeonggi. Sreung! A yellowish long sword and a thin shield appeared. What a yellow-grade relic. This is a card prepared with great care at the guild level for this raid. ''If we catch that guy, there is a possibility for us too.'' Having made that decision, Faiden hurled himself towards the slayer. fault! fast. How many melee dealers can move this fast? Boo Woong! Hellbird, which looked well over 100kg, flew through the air. KwaKwaKwabang! The ground cracked like a tortoise shell. ''It is clear that the Hellbird is a powerful weapon.'' Destructive power that can cut several people at once. There is no choice but to double the fear of Guinea until the crossroads. However, ''The longer the lich, the longer the period until the next attack.'' Every weapon has its pros and cons. If you only dodge the first hit... . There is always a gap that can be dug in. Kaga! It sends shock through the shield, and aims at the joints by swinging the sword. The blade that ran through Hellbird''s side ran through the slayer''s crotch. "Ahhh...aah!" The slayer frantically swung his Hellbird, trying to dislodge the fly. However, the slayer was always half a beat slower to catch Fadon, who hit and fell properly with speed. "Don''t think of me like everyone else." Immediately, Fayden grabbed the back and cut off the slayer''s neck. Scratch! The slayer''s head was cut off as it was. "Oooh!" "Okay, done!" "After all, you are the chief of engineering. You have dealt with that monster!" Fraud surged right away. Now that you''ve killed the enemy boss, you only need to clean up the remaining cultists. However. In the next scene... . Everyone''s faces contorted in despair. "Dirty human bastards." "To covet... the magic stone to offer him. Forgive me for that sin... with blood." "Kick-kick. I''ll eat it all. Soft flesh. Eyeballs. And even the intestines." There is not one slayer here. Twelve slayers appeared, armed with hellbirds, battle axes and deformed sickles. There are a dozen of them that are too difficult to deal with. Besides. It wasn''t just the slayer who showed up. Chunkyung! iron crack... . Knights surrounded by black armor. ''Blood Night'' A variant of the Death Knight with three arms, the pattern is so bizarre that it is classified as a very difficult monster to deal with. In fact, even among the elite members of the Holy See, made up of paladins, there were times when all but one of the members of the Holy See lost their lives by that Blood Knight. "Are there even dead monsters?" "Weren''t they just crazy fanatics?" "What the hell is such a big force that the top species are crawling out endlessly, damn it. Ha... ha ha." Even the raiders knew that this was a place where various factions were fighting. the problem is. That''s the only information they''ve been able to figure out. Since I was focused only on quickly grasping the overall structure of the 20th floor and occupying important bases, I did not even pay attention to the details. Kaang! Kakakan! The Blood Knight drove Fayden like a storm. top, bottom, bottom and flanks. The advantage of speed is completely gone. There is only a response that depends on the senses and predictions, not the perception and reaction with the eyes. "...!" Faydon was sweating profusely while focusing only on defense. In the midst of this, the number of enemies was growing exponentially. "There is no chance of winning..." Teresa looked at the enemies approaching her like ants with eyes full of despair. Thousands of fanatics wielding black flags were pouring down the camp. I have not slept properly for several days, and I have reached the extreme mentally and physically. In the meantime, fighting these powerful monsters. No matter how you look at it, there is no win. "You have to run away." There is not even room for refining the ranks of the engineering unit. They are scattered and at least one more person must survive. A forest on the outskirts of the Empire. A small flame was fluttering in the darkness completely cut off from people. "...that''s how things are going." Jinhyuk told everyone what he had heard from Orun. "It must be a headache. Isn''t that the story that hundreds of players could be wiped out?" Cheon Yoosung let out a small sigh. "If it''s on the 20th floor, it''s definitely the most crazy place in the tower. It seems like you really went in with enthusiasm without any prior information." Elise also helped with a word. "It''s like that. Originally, people who are blind with greed want to pretend they don''t know." The problem is that Teresa is stuck in that raid. It must have been difficult for the historic Rosenberg family in Europe to refuse the help of the presidents and prime ministers of each country. In the end, Teresa must have joined the raid as a member of the raid. ''That''s why I said it would be difficult to go to the Empire together.'' Now I understand why. "So, you mean you won''t attend the Imperial banquet?" "I''ll have to ask for a delay. It''s not that urgent right now." The attack on the 20th floor was originally meant to be a little slower, but this has to be done a little more quickly. Of course, rushing is not necessarily a bad thing. Thanks to Olympus''s first set up, a number of variables arose. We have also found a way to use it to our advantage. ''Because the situation depends on the use.'' Jinhyuk''s lips twisted slightly. If you do well this time, you will be able to monopolize all the various benefits besides simply attacking the 20th floor. "Then, are the three of us going? You and I. And Elise-san?" "No, if you go like this, the numbers are probably a little lacking." No matter how great an individual''s fighting power is, the 20th floor must be supported by the resource called ''troop''. Because. Jinhyuk hired a few strong supporters. jerk. It was then that the footsteps were heard. "Well... it''s hard to have a meal together. I knew you were expensive, but I didn''t expect it to be this expensive." Abraham came over, scratching his head. And next to it, a similarly nostalgic face was added. "I heard that there is a wonderful exploration, can I look forward to it?" Pesis. The great explorer floating in the tower also decided to join this expedition. Now that I am able to copy unique abilities that I couldn''t before, it is a situation of one stone and two birds. "Thank you. It must have been a difficult decision, but you gladly accepted it." "I''m so impressed with your heart that you have to save a comrade." "You have to save the saint of that world. It''s very romantic. It''s like a story in a fairy tale. Ah! So, is Kang Jin-hyuk player the hero?" uhm. You seem to be misunderstanding something. You don''t need to release it. It must also be a misunderstanding that Elise''s nails grew particularly sharp. maybe That is. When Cheon Yoo-seong saw the two of them joining, he exclaimed as if it was surprising. "I''m glad. I was worried that you guys would ask me to go with just three of you, but if there are about seven talented people, I''ll be able to match the assortment." seven? not five? "What does that mean?" "I, too, have contacted people I can trust. Originally, it was for a purpose other than the 20th floor, but I think we should save Teresa-san first." As soon as Cheon Yu-seong finished speaking, new characters appeared from the opposite side of the grass. "I came here in a hurry because Confucius Cheon really wanted to meet him. It''s a bit sad that I didn''t call because I wanted to see this master after a long time." "Still, that disciple even asks for help from his master. My side was very unsatisfied. Heh heh. If you don''t call it, it will only come when you enter the coffin?" It is Chuhonsayeong and Dark Hwang. It is said that the Empire and Moorim signed a peace treaty, but it was unusual for two top-level experts from each faction to transfer to the Empire. "Master... sir?" "Come on. How have you been?" The dark eagle came with a smile. "It''s been a good day for me. Was it all right with Master?" "Peace is a bitch! All the bastards who hit it cool are gone, so I thought I was going to die of moths. Yeah. There are tens of thousands of harpoons accumulating? Where do I start wiping out?" "Yeah, by the way, we have a lot of people, so we have to approach it a bit strategically. There''s no need to turn them all into enemies." Seeing that the stage gun was also called Nunchi, Liu Bei and Cao Cao had a fight. However, the dark yellow was more than that, but never less. of course. "The main seat has come here, so what''s the use of a million troops?" That confidence has an overwhelming force that backs it up. One man army. Just being yourself is enough. The Dark Emperor declared. As the strong support increased, it was Ellis who became impatient. As I was trying to do nothing by myself, I started to notice for nothing. "Huh. Me, I also actually had something prepared. Really." Elise hastily breathed mana into the necklace she was wearing. OK. The space is torn like a crescent moon... . Tsutsu! Along with the smoke, silver-haired vampires appeared. Ophelia and Belus immediately knelt toward Elise. "I see the lord of Ataraxia." "I see the lord of Ataraxia." "Yes. My relatives." Alice''s shoulders went up as if ascending. Up until now, I''ve always been teased, but now as the head of a family, did I feel the authority and dignity? It seemed that he himself was exalted by being treated like a queen. '' .'' Jinhyuk looked at the gathered people with strange eyes. There is no longer a time when I had to go through all the difficulties alone in solitude. Now there is always someone by my side. "I''ll go to the 20th floor from now on." Jinhyuk stood in the front. CH 364 Church of the Specter (1) Kill the living and offer them to a great being. That is . It was the ideology of the ''Church of Ghosts'', one of the great powers of the 20th floor. Although the floor is only 20 floors, it is not simply because their capabilities are limited to the 20th floor. Endlessly flowing blood and a battlefield spread across the floor. A treasure trove of resources based on abundant magic crystals. The advantage of being able to secure infinite sacrifices and magic crystals at the same time was the reason that made them stay on this floor for so long. and currently. Inside the barracks where numerous corpses were piled up, a monster with a terrible appearance stood. Red blood runs down his black lips. The monster''s head, which had the appearance of a skinny man, was covered with a blood-dyed crown. "...Like you said. We destroyed all of the human bases." He is the leader of the cult of ghosts and one of the seven deadly sins, ''sloth''. An existence belonging to the named class even in the upper tiers, both in name and reality. However, there was a being with such a monster bowing his head politely... . It was ''Guntafer'', one of the Demon Kings of the demon world. To be precise, it was a body that contained Guntafer''s soul. "Hmm. You did a great job. You spoke very well." Guntafer clicked his tongue and looked around the ruins. Bodies piled up like a mountain. Hundreds of players lost their lives without even being able to properly resist. "As you said, the strong mana were kept alive, but a few escaped the siege and scattered." He pointed to the prison that Sloth had prepared on one side. Instead of the iron bars, in the prison where red flames burned, players of Grade A or higher were trapped. "Huh? They escaped the siege? How many?" "I think there are 30 or 40. Of course, the chase is fierce, so we should be able to find them all before the sun goes down today." "I missed that many numbers even with the Blood Knights and the Slayer is that even possible?" Guntafer''s mouth twisted slightly. In an instant, the surrounding temperature cooled down. It''s terrifyingly cold. "...!" Parr. Sloth''s whole body trembled faintly. fear and fear, And a terrifying energy that transcends all of them weighed on my heart. "Among these humans, there was a candidate for the apostle of ''Eden''. As a blonde woman who strongly handled divine power, it seems that the Blood Knights had no choice but to give it a break. Even if you move yourself...!" "You''re still busy making excuses. You are in charge of indolence among the seven deadly sins. Why do you think you are locked up on the 20th floor?" The other deadly sins enjoy their respective places in the upper floors of the tower. However, only sloth. He was confined to the middle class, not the upper class, and was occupying the position of head of the denomination. "Well, that''s..." "Because it didn''t produce results." No matter how perfect the process is, it is meaningless. Results, the most important thing is only the results. "Don''t let me down again this time. I don''t know anything else, but I must capture as much as a saint." "Keep in mind I will." Natae shook her head. "Okay. Trust me." Guntafer''s body melted into the shadows and disappeared. OK. Eududuk! Break your sloth, grind your teeth. "Gather all the followers. I will triple the pursuit." "Yes, teacher." A massive slayer fell to his knees. "Also, send messengers to other powers to tell them what I am saying." Another giant on the 20th floor, the ''Red Giant'' and ''Great Wing'' And a lot of small forces intertwined with them. You must inform them all wisely. "What can I tell you?" "I''ll bet a bounty. I will give 30% of the magic crystals from this magic crystal mine for the next 3 years to anyone who catches a blonde saint who uses divine power." The 20th floor Magic Crystal Mine has one of the largest veins in the entire tower. The purity is also very high, so on top of the yolk where medium and high grade magic crystals are being mined. Giving 30% of them was a huge offer. Because it meant that the power of the forces could rise dramatically at once. That is why he was thinking of completing the mission with all his might. "I will obey the orders of the great teacher." The slayer and numerous followers began to move. [You have entered the 20th floor.] uuung! With a bright light, a new group appeared on the 20th floor. It was the ''Goin-Mul Corporation'' led by Jin-Hyeok. "It''s on the 20th floor... we''ve already come this far." A sky with two suns. A landscape of barren meadows and long canyons. This is the 20th floor. Jinhyuk''s eyes turned to the air. Obviously around this time... . T-tiring! [Attack Conditions] Description: There are about 173 factions on the 20th floor. There are about 20 factions with more than 1,000 members. To clear the 20th floor, you have to be in the top 3 of all these factions, or you have to completely destroy the biggest one. A status window containing the attack conditions appeared. ''If it is the biggest force, it must be the Church of the Ghosts.'' As a group of fanatics serving the Demon King, its power is also enormous. In particular, among the seven deadly sins, one of the seven deadly sins, ''sloth'', was at the head of the gnomes, and in terms of combat power, it was a monster corresponding to a certain ''hero'' level. "I have to be a little nervous. There is too little known information here. The number of people who came here in the first place is almost non-existent..." Cheon Yoosung clasped his hands with a hardened face. "Do you see that the swordsman in the world is scared too?" "Hey, what''s the fear? I''m just trying to be careful. Isn''t it common sense to be thoroughly prepared when going to an unfamiliar place? Even more so if you''re on the 20th floor." Well, the raw meat that I played in the old Tower of Trials didn''t even make it past the 20th floor. Even that leech-like swordsman gave up climbing the tower here. "It''s a little difficult here. It''s a place where a lot of kids like you come out." "What do you mean kids like me?" Sreung! Cheon Yu-seong''s sword was drawn halfway. You have to speak well here. Because I didn''t know if I was going to be in more danger than Teresa. "It means that there are a lot of great experts out there. They train hard and have talent. You know what I mean?" Chunkyung! The sword entered the scabbard again. "More than that, you''re talking as if you''ve been through this place before. Have you ever gone beyond the 20th floor?" Floating questions followed. This guy always used to wonder how far I climbed the tower. "I''ve gone a little further than this." "It is true. I had expected it after seeing the work in the Empire and Moorim. I had been to the mid-20th floor or the early 30th floor." Mid 20th floor... At the beginning of the 30th floor... . "Well, I''m guessing that''s about it." Jinhyuk smirked. "Answer me straight. Is it the second half of the 20th floor or the 30th floor?" "Well. I can''t remember where I went." "You''re always so selfish...!" Cheon Yoo-seong tried to inquire more about the answer that blurted the point, but . jerk. The conversation was cut off at the sound of popularity among the reeds. someone is coming "Kick! What is this? New tenants?" What appeared as the bushes split apart were hop goblins with small daggers. They are larger than normal goblins and have superior intelligence. Moreover, due to the trait that moves in large numbers, it was a fairly difficult axis to deal with. okay. This is like the 20th floor. from the entrance. to the exit. Every place and every time you step is a continuation of the battlefield. "It looks like you''ve just entered the 20th floor, but you''re really out of luck because our opponent is us." "Kick-kick! That''s it." "It''s commendable that you''ve made it this far, but you''ve used up all your luck there." "If you give out everything you have, you can especially save your life. First, hand over the silver-haired woman and the dark-haired woman behind there." The hobgoblins'' swords pointed towards Elise and Chuhonsayoung. Even if I choose do you choose those two It seems that this is not the one who is unlucky. "Oh my. You want me?" Chuhon Sa-young walked forward with a bright smile on her face. "Kick! It''s wise to walk on my own feet." "Don''t be too scared." "Because we don''t eat human meat for a while. Just... gagging?" The mocking voice did not last long. spatula. Whoops... . The hobgoblin''s head rolled and fell. The white sword drew a curve that made my eyes shiver. "Why are you so surprised? Weren''t they the ones who asked me to come?" Chu Hon Sa-young wiggled her fingers. "Kik?" "Are you going to repay the grace of giving me a cheeky life with something like this?" "I''ll tear you to pieces and kill you!" Hobgoblins immediately counterattacked. Armed with a heavy wooden shield and sword, he aimed at the death of death from all directions. right then puff puff puff! From the side, red harpoons crossed the air. "Keeek!" "Aww!" Hobgoblins, who had become skewers in an instant, were scattered on the floor. "You guys really can''t understand the subject of filthy creatures. Who are you debating whether someone will save your life or not?" kukukuku! As Elise freed mana, dark clouds fell under the sun. Mana beyond imagination. Dare, it is the Territory of the Absolute that no hobgoblin can surpass. "Hey, they''re monsters!" "Hey profit!" "The goddamn bastards are on the 20th floor! We need to tell the captain right away!" But that''s just hope. The red meteor showers that started pouring from the sky devastated the surroundings. KwaKwaKwabang! kwaaang! Darely, he did not intend to save even a single worm that claimed ownership over him. "Oh my. If you only look at the lady over there, I''m sorry. You have to play with me too." And it was the same with Chuhonsayeong, who lived a noble life. As the 8th ceremony of ''Sword of Souls'' unfolded, a beautiful trajectory dug out the space. "...!?" "Okay uh huh?" I can''t even figure out how I''ve been dealt with. just unilaterally slaughtered. The scene of the tragedy that began like that. The blood of the hobgoblins filled the reed fields. "Do you really need to kill them all?" Cheon Yoo-seong swallowed dry saliva as he watched Chuhonsayoung run wildly. I don''t know, but I must be thinking that I should treat Master with a little more respect in the future. "You have to deal with all but one." We need to make a smart imprint on everyone that we''re here. By now, the smashed Olympus Guild''s raid must have been frantically running away from pursuit. Even in order to save them, the act of distracting them is absolutely necessary. ''They should also take advantage of what they can extract from here.'' So, shall we start attacking the 20th floor in earnest? Jinhyuk opened the subspace inventory. A privilege obtained by attacking the 19th floor. There is a means to smoothly attack the 20th floor, uuung! A small box appeared with a bright light. CH 365 Church of the Specter (2) [Blue Torch - A special item for the 20th floor.] Durability 1/1 Description: A torch that allows you to play one-on-one with the leader of a faction. After designating the desired faction and raising the torch, the leader belonging to that faction must respond to the poison. In addition, this poison pod is completely confidential, and when a torch is used, the locations of all factions on the 20th floor are displayed for 5 minutes. blue torch. It is a special item that can be used quite usefully on the 20th floor. Hopefully, this will pop out from among the specials. ''I expected something good to come out, but is this completely out of the norm?'' Jinhyuk swallowed a laugh. One of the best items to come out of the 20th floor popped out. ''Not only can you meet the leader of a faction, but it is also deceptive to display the entire location like a map hack.'' If this is the case, the number of cards that can be used increases significantly. Jinhyeok kept a blue torch in the corner of the room. in between. Elise, who had cleaned up all the hop goblins, and Chuhonsayoung approached. "Like I said, I killed all but one." "By the way, will this really work?" The two tilted their heads. Hell, I can''t understand why he chose the hop goblins out of many. If it''s to raise awareness, it''s because there were a lot of them, even if it wasn''t for these guys. However, hop goblins are perfect for this job. "Only trust me. I have an idea." Rather . What matters is where the Olympus raid is now... . Jinhyuk''s eyes turned to a distant place. information is needed also as quickly as possible. "Mr. Pesis." "Yes, tell me." "Can you give me directions to the nearest town from here?" "Hmm. There is a medium-sized base called ''Harun'' about 2 hours away from here. It''s more of a lawless area than a village to be exact, but it''s got a good assortment." Harun Village. It is a village built by small thieves and third-class thieves. Originally, to go here, you must have a pass made of human bones, which is only used among gnomes. However. If Pesis is with you, you will be able to find a new route through which you can break through the strict security and enter the interior. "Let''s go." At least, there was nowhere below the 41st floor that Pesis couldn''t go. It had been about an hour since we arrived at the village. As time is of the essence, Jinhyuk spurred the pace. Thanks to this, we were able to reach the entrance to the village much faster than the scheduled time. "...you. Did you bring this as a pass?" "Haha. Look at this?" "Isn''t he a member of ''Scar''? Where does a guy from where he dares to hand over counterfeit cards?" Thieves standing guard at the entrance caught a vagrant trying to enter the village. In his hand was a human bone resembling the bones of a finger. "Hey!" The vagrant, who was exposed to everything, tried to run away. of course. Puppupuck! That was just his hope. Red blood gushed from the head that was hit directly by the mace. "Off... uh..." The body of the staggering vagrant was torn apart. "It seems that there is a separate way to determine the authenticity. Unless it''s forcibly breaking through, I''ll have to find a detour." As if to make a decision, Cheon Yuseong fidgeted with the hilt. Due to the nature of this guy, it would be more suitable for him to just wipe it all out rather than go back. That doesn''t seem too bad either. If you do, you may have to waste all your time fighting these thieves. There were also risks that could give the denomination room to prepare. "Mr. Pesis. How about the driveway?" "This is the way. The road is a little rough, but please follow me as I tread." Pesis started walking along the swamp leading into the village. Even a slight mistake in the depth that goes down to the waist seems to be sucked into the endless mud. If it wasn''t for Pesis, it''s a difficult road that no one would have imagined that there is a road like this. How long would you have walked like that? The end of the swamp was visible. However. "Wait." Pesis, who was at the forefront, stood still. A look of embarrassment is evident on his face. "What''s wrong?" "It''s... it can''t be like this... I can''t get into this..." Pesis ran his hand across the various parts of the grate. You could enter the town''s sewer if you opened the grate, but That very grate was tightly sealed by something. "What''s that iron? Get out of the way." Cheon Yoosung drew his sword at once A sword loaded with strong energy struck the top of the grate in a single blow. Kaang! "What, what is this?" What was surprising was the side of Cheon Yoosung. Even though it was full of steel, there was not a single scratch on the grate. only, Only purple letters appeared above the air. It is an unfamiliar type of script, not a language that was previously known or a rune language. "It''s fun. I''ll try to break the main seat once." Dark Huang Uduk his joints and stepped forward. "It''s useless. That''s the demon world language, and it''s a structure that can only be unlocked by mentioning a keyword that only the person who puts this seal knows. No matter how strong the force, it cannot be destroyed." In other words, you have to enter your password to get inside. ''Oh.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. You''ll find things sealed in demon world language here. ''He''s the one who knows he''s coming through this passageway... .'' The meticulousness of building up the buildup without missing a single detail while knowing how this will move. A being who has the power to command ''sloth'', the head of the denomination, under his command. There is only one person who can do that. Guntafer. The Demon King, who was looking after the ''Church of Ghosts'', came here directly. But there was something he didn''t expect... . ''Because it''s not the first time I''ve solved a trap like this.'' These are keywords that Guntaper likes to use, and they''ve already been sewn up in the past. If you''re going to use it in a place like this... . "Tuarat pe Aramsur (where the inferiors do not reach)." Jinhyuk muttered a little toward the air. OK. put on... gig! The iron bars were rolled left and right, creating a space large enough for one person to pass through. "Ah, how the hell does Jinhyuk Kang know the demon world language...? No, rather than that, it is only possible if you know which Demon Clan uses which keywords. What the hell..." Pesis stuttered with her rabbit eyes open. I couldn''t help but be frustrated. Because this was an area that could only be achieved by deeply understanding the habits and traits of the Demon Clan. "I went to study abroad for a while when I was young." "No, no matter what, it''s still a demon world..." "You just have to work hard." "Wow, it''s not an area where you can work hard " "Don''t try to think in common sense. He might have been to the demon world enough. Rather, some Demon Clans may have appointed him as a professor to teach him a lesson." At Cheon Yu-seong''s words, Jin-hyuk was furious. "Hey. From my point of view, it''s normal for me to go to the demon world? It''s ridiculous. With a good person like me. Isn''t it everyone?" Jinhyuk looked at everyone as if asking for consent. Naturally, there was not a single person who responded to it. Master, of course, from spirits to even sweet potatoes and Alice. Everyone was smirking, trying not to make eye contact. "Wow, is that a frog over there, a swamp frog?" "That''s right. Come on. Just looking at it, it looked like a frog." "The bigger one might be a bullfrog." "Undine likes water!" "Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" There is no one in the world to trust. right then "My son." The dark eagle came with a warm smile. After all, did I say that only the Master can understand the heart of a disciple? "S, Master..." "Ma (ħ) isn''t necessarily a bad thing." "Yes?" "Didn''t our school also receive the teachings of the Heavenly Demon? The iron-blooded will that worships nothing without relying on pretentiousness and pretentiousness. That is the essence of Demon. It''s like a paradise for Demon Protestants." "...I think it would have been better if you didn''t say anything." Jinhyuk let out a small sigh and went inside the window. poop! Puck! Puck! "Die, die! Die! Kaak Hee!" "Khahahaha! It''s a real bummer, is that guy?" "Let''s just throw the corpse on the river bank. Ah! Wait, this guy''s shoes. They''re the right size for my feet, right? You won''t need shoes in Hell, so I use them well." The inside of the village was filled with shouts. Drinking alcohol everywhere is the norm. Murder and robbery were so common that they were taken for granted. Jinhyuk found a suitable abandoned house inside the village and settled down, and headed to the central square with only Cheon Yooseong. This is because it can attract attention when many people move at once. We arrived at a five-story wooden building. "This is the liaison office for the Thieves Guild." "It''s pretty shabby. Seriously, I don''t think people who are crazy about alcohol and women will ever invest in an office. Do you really have to lend a hand to these guys?" "Still, the kids here are well-informed. I''m sure they''ll be able to figure out where Teresa was as well." "...sheesh. I see." Jin-hyeok and Cheon Yu-seong, who wore their hoods pressed deeply, entered the building. The sour body odor and the strong smell of alcohol stung your nose. Inside, several drunken men were having a drink. "What did you come here for?" Three beats late, the bald man who found the two opened his mouth. "information." "Information... um? But, it''s the first time I''ve seen a customer. Aren''t you from this floor?" "I just came over yesterday. So I need some information." "Yeah. We''re a bit pricey. Are you okay?" "If we sell only the right information, we will pay the price." Jinhyuk took out 3 red rubies from his pocket. They were slipped from Alice''s jewelry box before the imperial ball was held. The bald man''s eyes changed drastically. The rest of the people who had been drinking had their eyes glazed over. "Hey! These guys are really fat. I didn''t stop seeing you. Okay, can you give me some information? After all, we''ve got all the news on the 20th floor." "The players came here a while ago, do you know?" "Ah! The yangbans from outside the tower? Remember. They tried to come here without a pass and were kicked out. But why?" "I want to know where you are. Where are you right now? How about you? Can you tell me?" "Hmm. I know, but that''s pretty high-quality information, so the price is a bit..." The bald man pretended not to know and scratched his head. "Five. Give me more." Jinhyuk pours an additional ruby "Walking east from here for two days, there''s a big lake, and it''ll be there. The two-headed ichthyosaur that lives there has some pretty savory by-products that say they''ll catch it." "It''s a lake..." "Draw. Lake. It''s there. If you leave early, we''ll see you tomorrow at midnight." As if the deal was over with this, the bald man quickly packed the ruby. However. "It''s because I don''t understand." Jinhyuk, who was walking back to the entrance, suddenly locked the door. Chunkyung! The iron gate was firmly caught. No one can come in or go out. "What, what do you mean?" "If it was a lake with a two-headed ichthyosaur, it would be a week to the west instead of to the east, but how did the players who had only been on the 20th floor for three days managed to get there? And the bounty your friends are watching on the table. The wanted letter... it must be the person I was looking for." Theresa''s face was drawn on the yellow paper on the table. "How do you do that when you say you just came to this side today?" The bald man swallowed dry saliva. at the same time. Sreung! Sreung! The men of the Thieves Guild, who were drinking, drew their swords. "I already knew that you wouldn''t be docile to tell me. The reason I put up with a clumsy play is because that''s how I feel more beaten." Jinhyuk also drew his newly acquired dagger. "It was a trap. Damn it. If you think we''re going to open our mouths, you''re wrong." "Hey, right? Were you a very loyal friend?" Please, I hope that my heart will not change for as long as possible. Seriously. A fishy smile hung on the corner of Jinhyuk''s lips. CH 366 Church of the Specter (3) A living life that slowly blooms. Jinhyuk slowly released mana. "You said you shouldn''t make a fuss. You seem to be more itchy." Cheon Yoosung clicked his tongue as if he couldn''t stop it. what It''s okay not to make a fuss. However, "As long as it''s not known, it shouldn''t be a problem." Who knows how many people have been smashed in a closed room? At least for the time being, we''ll be able to move on quietly. Jinhyuk clenched his fist and headed forward. and after a while. All the thieves guilds inside the building turned into rice cakes. No matter how worn out they are in the middle class, that''s a story at the level of thieves. Jin-hyeok and Cheon Yoo-seong, who are deceased among the deceased, could not be opponents. "Kukluk...cuck! Gagging...keck." "Turn it off..." The thieves let out groans of pain. It was not easy to even breathe because the myeongchi was hit properly. "Are you ready to give me an answer now?" "Kill it. Whatever you ask, it would be better not to expect an answer." "Hey. You''re a leader in the field, but there''s a price to pay. Are you confident in enduring pain?" "Yeah. When you die, you die, you don''t sell your comrades." Indeed, for a thief, he is quite loyal. However. Does the guy know? The fact that this is only the beginning of a long agony? Jinhyuk summoned Jung Ryeongsoo and Frey from the subspace. uuung! With a bright light, Undine Sylphed Salamanders and Gnomes appeared. "Did you call the master?" "This time, I''m not trying to eat how much more... I''m not. What''s going on? Hehe." The spirit beasts rubbed their palms with forced smiles on their faces. "I need to get some information from these guys here, but they''re not cooperative at all." "Ugh. That''s right. I''d rather bite my tongue and die. I was a madman and even rebelled against my master." "Isn''t it? So, show me the bitterness of our company." "Okay. Master. Trust only us." Undine clenched her small fist and nodded her head. That''s how the torture started. Whoops! The salamander made a fire around the feet of the bandits. "Ahhh, hot, hot!" "what is this!?" gradually rising temperature. Cold sweat ran down his back chururuk. There, Undine put a lot of capsaicin in the droplets and started putting them in the mouths of the thieves. "Queek! Cool! Cool... Cool!" "Hehe. Eat a lot. Would you like to eat this too?" "Dine, here. I think it would be better if I added this ingredient. I saw the hostess eat it last time. Tears and runny nose are coming out." Sylphid added mint chocolate and cinnamon tofu to Undine''s water drops. In an instant, something terrible was created that could not be described in human language. "The hammer is out!" Additionally, the gnomes began to do things they shouldn''t have done to men using their hammers made of dirt. puck! "stop!" poop! "Oh, oh no!" Kwajik! "Aaaaah! My junior...!" Screams turned into screams. It soon turned into a plea. In the end, one after another, people fainted while biting the crab foam. "Master, this person is no longer moving." The gnome swung the hammer with a cute face. The next targeted thieves shouted. "Mi, they are crazy spirits." "Sah, save me!" "I mean, we have honor. You bastards!" A terrible scream rang out. "Wow!" The bald-headed man who looked like a captain bit his molars. The other guys couldn''t be bothered by the torture of the spirit beasts, but this man was the only one who was steadfastly resisting. "You''re a damn bastard than I thought. Frey, how would you like to give it a try?" "Yeah. I''ll give it a try." Frey stepped forward. And without warning, he took out a large knife at once. The kind used by butchers to cut whole meat and bones. "What, what are you trying to do?" The bald head was terrified, and his whole body struggled. or not. Frey raised his sword high with an expressionless face. "Fray!" "Huh?" "Even so, if I hit it with it, wouldn''t it die of intelligence or anything?" "Can''t you kill me?" "Yeah. Now." "Cut?" "That''s fine. Instead, do it with common sense." "Okay. Then, I''ll take into account the amount of bleeding. The survival rate is 99.5%. If you lose all your arms and legs, the survival rate will drop to 50%. Whoops! Frey began to heat the knife on the fire. In the bloody conversation, the bald face turned white and pale. "I''ll tell you! Damn it! You can tell me! The players are in the ''Grey Forest'' right now. They''re there!" At the bald head, Jinhyuk motioned for Frey. Frey stopped the knife he was about to strike at any moment. "Gray forest?" "Yeah! The denominations put a bounty on them. They''re looking for 30% of a year''s worth of magic stones from the magic crystal mines!" Certainly, there are many places to hide in the gray forest. Theresa must have instinctively picked a place with plenty of cover and hiding places. "Okay. Frey. And guys. You can stop." Jinhyuk stopped the torture. Undine, who was putting canary sauce in the nostrils of a thief, stopped her hand as if it were a pity. "Hey, will you let us go now?" "no." Sorry, but it''s not over yet. Because I needed a little more to solve this task more easily. "I need to introduce you to the masters of your thieves guild. To attack this floor, you need a force with excellent intelligence and a lot of numbers." "What Fu Fuhaha! Are you going to meet the master of our guild? Fuhahaha! It''s ridiculous No, don''t try to feed him that green lump. Don''t try to cut it with a knife. It''s not that I don''t want to tell you. I don''t know who it is." "Is it made up of a point organization?" Cheon Yoosung frowned. If so, it''s because finding the top wasn''t easy. However. "You don''t have to look for the top." Jinhyuk grabbed the paper with Theresa''s montage on it. "Even if it is run as a point organization, there must be at least one person who gives you orders, right?" "Yeah. Yes. But, he doesn''t know about the Master either. It''s useless to catch him." "But, he must know something about the immediate superiors." If you go up the stairs, you will reach the Master. It is from then on that the guild is swallowed up. "If you go through it like that, you''ll never reach the Master in time, right?" torture and intimidation. Of course, it is difficult to swallow the entire guild in that way. No matter how harshly I took a picture and pressed it, there was bound to be a feeling of repulsion. "Don''t worry about that either. I have one special ability that specializes in this kind of thing." Jinhyuk grabbed a piece of paper and put it to the bald head. "Gee, what are you doing now...?" "Be quiet." [Lv3 ''bast face ball (Ƥ) is activated!] uuung! Paper gradually began to take on the shape of a human face. Suddenly, a skin of the same appearance as a bald head was created. "I''ve got information about Teresa, so look over your head and tell me to come right away." KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! A huge mana storm has completely changed the surrounding landscape. These are traces of Apollo''s sun chariot swept across the ground. "Advance!" After Apollo''s command, a great shout followed. "Oh oh!" "God is with us!" "Let''s kill them all and give this land to the gods!" Thousands of armed Greek armies began to advance. Boom! Boom! Boom! The earth''s axis shook, and a huge number of troops covered the ice field. For the first time, the flag of an outside force was waving at Jotunheim, a key base. of course. The mighty ''Ragnarok'' It wasn''t just about being rude. "Aww!" "Dirty invaders!" The giants also fiercely resisted, wielding ice bats and tossing conifers. A battle that has already been fought for three days and nights. The battle, which was repeated one step at a time, was approaching its climax. "...it''s not as easy as you think." Athens, watching the battle from afar, frowned. It was around Ragnarok, where the power had already begun to decline, but I thought it could be easily wiped out. However, once the war started, the opponent''s resistance was not formidable. "Even if you lose the crown, it seems that you have completely lost your powers." "Thor that guy is the most problematic. Since Hercules is in charge of Eden " Hades let out a long sigh. The god of lightning, the opponent''s greatest power, was fighting against hundreds of Greek warriors even at this moment. It means you have to invest too much to deal with just one. "Eden''s side doesn''t want our power to grow, so there''s nothing we can do about it. Hercules must take charge of the west so that we can survive even if the Archangel level comes." Currently, the upper layers are in a situation where sharp interests are intertwined. The forces competing with Olympus cannot hope for Olympus'' success. So, when the main camp is away from the expedition, it is absolutely necessary to have someone who can reliably protect the rear. "Heimdall is annoying as well. It crosses dimensions and disturbs our rear, because the damage is hard to ignore." "I mean the Valkyrie troops. Well, from their point of view, they believe that if they die on the battlefield, they can go to Valhalla, so it''s like fighting crazy battle buffs." The rest of the gods also helped one by one. Clearly, it must have been an advantage, but for these reasons, the victory was not completely solidified. "Is Odin''s location still not known?" Zeus, who was sitting at the top, tapped the table with his finger. Foul! Golden lightning flashed in all directions. heavy. Mana, a mixture of irritation and anger, weighed heavily around him. "That''s he''s hiding to see if he knows that his father is after him. Tracking is also easy with the barrel moving around through Heimdall..." "Hermes, it sounds like you''re below Heimdall." "Oh, no! Give me a little more time and I''ll definitely catch the tail." Hermes was embarrassed and excused himself. The key to this war is that Zeus kills Odin and ends the war in a short period of time. However, the absolute premise was shaking with its roots. right then "...!?" "Father! Someone is coming!" As soon as Hermes finished speaking, the air was distorted for a long time. [External divinity manifests!] Someone appeared before the Greek divinities. CH 367 Church of the Specter (4) White skin and black horns. His appearance like a mischievous child is impressive. Demon Clan. Judging from the length of the horns, he was a high-ranking nobleman. "Fufu, it seems that all the people who rarely see this are gathered here." "Dare you, where the Demon Clan is here!" Athens immediately aimed her spear and shield. The white mana spun violently as if trying to pierce through the enemies who entered their territory without warning. "stop." However, Zeus''s gestures could not achieve that goal at once. " father?" "It''s interesting that the demon world has come all the way here. So, what happened?" "It''s an honor to be greeted by the highest Primary God of Olympus. My name is Massed. I am the Demon Clan of the great Demon King Guntafer." The boy bowed deeply and bowed his head. If it''s a Demon King level, he''s an absolute who can''t even look down on other divinities. The messenger has come all the way here... . The corners of Zeus''s lips rose subtly upwards. "Go Hara. What is your reason for wanting to meet us?" "I would like to propose a formal alliance between Olympus and the demon world." "...!?" alliance. Unexpectedly, the surrounding area froze at the loud words. Until now, the co-operation itself was impossible because of the values and interests of the great powers in the upper layers. It was accepted that it was fate to die and kill until one survived. In particular, the rule that all crowns must be gathered by one power pushed everyone to the extreme. However. I''ll be the first to propose an alliance in the most insidious demon world. "Oh." Zeus tapped the table with his finger. "Are you interested?" "First, I wonder why you want to form an alliance." "To be honest, we weren''t interested in the alliance with Olympus either. However, after the war against Ragnarok this time, Eden started moving in earnest. We have no choice but to respond on our side." Eden is in principle neutral to all powers except the demon world. However, due to Olympus'' expansion of territory and Kizakiel''s rebellion, unusual movements began to be detected. He had attacked the demon world in order to restore inner solidarity and balance the forces. "It means we need to keep Eden in check." "Isn''t that a bad suggestion? Zeus is also trying to keep Eden in check, so he can''t use one of the strongest cards." " " It certainly hurts not to bring Hercules to the battlefield. If there was only the strongest demigod, the last remains of Jotunheim would have already been captured. It was the harsh reality facing Olympus that the time was wasted because he could not obtain the most important base even after gaining the northern area of Ragnarok. But. "It seems that it would be impossible to form an alliance for that reason alone. Eden can handle it. If it takes a little more time, Jotunheim will also be captured." Zeus rejected the offer of the demon world with a single blow. breakdown of negotiations. What this meant was the death of the messenger who made the offer. Pants! Zeus'' unique vocal spear, ''Astrafe'', radiated a brilliance beyond imagination. If it is the strongest spear capable of piercing even the Demon King''s Dou Qi, even the noble class will disappear as a handful of ashes. However. Massed, who had to tremble in fear or run away, was still there. "Would we have proposed an alliance for just one Eden?" at that word, " " Standing tall, Zeus''s hand stopped. Massed took it as an extension of the conversation. "Hwanwoong and Izanagi met at ''Baeknokdam'' this morning." Baekrokdam. It is a holy land where the source of a huge mana flows, and at the same time, it is also a meeting place where hundreds of divinities can gather. "It''s funny. Did you say that it''s such a big deal to get together with those scumbags?" "Not two. Hundreds of divinities have gathered around them. Of course, it may seem lacking compared to Olympus''s power, but it''s undeniable that it''s a burden." The relatively weak Asian divinities were forming a huge coalition. In the individual strength, we will be pushed, but instead we will not be pushed even by sheep. It was the first news from Zeus'' point of view that hundreds of divinities had gathered in secret. Moreover, the problem does not end here. "If this happens, the factions in the late 40s will soon move too. They will see this uprising as an opportunity. In particular, I heard that the lizards that are trying to devour the whole floor have even found their apostles this time." Dragons occupy the 46th floor of the tower. Even if the 49th floor is second to none, there is no guarantee that the 47th and 48th floors will also remain silent. "Is this incident a catalyst... that it''s gone?" "That''s right. Before, after the First War, the second war is about to start." Variables and variables come together to form fuses. "So, shouldn''t we also form a strong alliance and look after each other?" "...Go back and bring the Demon King class back. Let''s talk." Zeus made a decision. With the hegemony of the tower. Again, a huge battle cloud began to circulate. It took less than two hours for Jinhyuk to meet the master of the Thieves Guild. It was thanks to the steady tangent to the upper line using the ''bast ball''. "No, that''s absurd..." O''Prime Venta. As a master of the Thieves'' Guild for 30 years, he had to feel that his common sense was crumbling down. This is because Jinhyeok, who disguised himself as his subordinate a while ago, was astonished. Only Dragon is capable of ''polymorph''. However, there was no sense of incongruity in the sight of seeing a colleague of 30 years. That disguise was perfect. Jinhyuk threw his shaggy, bearded face on the floor. "The pyramid-style dot organization might be good at keeping secrets...but there are some blind spots like this. I''ll use your face in this way soon." Even if the Master suffered, the fact itself did not spread. The best thing is that as long as you keep only the shell, you can freely control the entire guild. "Aaaaah! These rotten bastards!" Of course, there was no way that Venta, who had everything taken away, would stand still. Like the master of a guild, Venta, who drew a pair of daggers, moved dizzyingly. A speed that is hard to catch with the eye. However, Cheon Yu-seong, who was waiting by his side, was perfectly able to read Benta''s movements. Just in time for your feet to land... . Scratch! The sword of Cheonyuseong cut the trajectory and between the trajectories. " big billions?" With that, everything in the Thieves Guild fell into Jinhyuk''s hands. "What are you going to do now?" Cheon Yoo-seong, who wiped the blood off his sword, asked Jin-hyuk. "We have to sabotage the information and save Teresa in the meantime." As long as you ate the thieves guild with the best intelligence, you don''t have to worry about the rest of them intervening. Only one. ''It will be difficult to avoid the contact between the Church of the Ghost and the laziness.'' Although it took a long time, sloth had the ability to track the prey once it caught it. The duration of that special ability is approximately 6 hours. It is exactly around midnight. ''About 3 hours left... .'' You have to hurry to reach the gray forest. "Fray. Tell Master and Abraham where we''re going." "Yeah... I''ll do that." "Yoosung-ah. You''re leaving right away with me." "Yeah, I see." Everyone moved towards their respective places. gray forest. It is an area where the sun does not shine properly due to the dense environment. "Damn it ." Fayden let out a deep sigh. He confidently declared the attack on the 20th floor and came here, but the raid was attacked by fanatics and became rags. I don''t know where things went wrong. In the beginning, it was good to be honest and secure access roads and bases. Also, was it wrong to forcefully enter the mine? Or, was it a failure to recruit stronger rankers? ''I didn''t think it would be easy, but even though I''ve gathered all my energy like this, it''s going to break.'' If the 20th floor is this strong, how strong is the 30th floor? The thought of being afraid of the Tower of Trials came over me again. However, the important thing right now is not to pick up the spilled water. I have to think about getting out of here alive right now. Fayden looked around. A total of seventeen survivors. The strongest of the raid members, including Teresa, survived. ''At least there are only me and Theresa who are fine.'' The rest were exhausted with mana and stamina, so it seemed difficult to even control my own body. right then "Mr. Fayden." Teresa, who was caring for the wounded, approached. "...Yes. You can tell me." "First of all, I treated people in urgent need. However, I didn''t have enough mana, so I did only first aid." "You''ve worked hard. Well, now I have to start again." Fayden grabbed his weapon. I took a short breath, so I have to go through this forest quickly and get out on the other side. This is because the insect-type monsters that thrived due to the high humidity were aiming for the hositamtam raid even at this moment. "Yeah? You''re leaving? But, the injured people haven''t recovered enough to be able to move yet. They''ll have to rest for at least a few more hours..." Theresa, who was speaking, flinched when she saw Fayden''s expression. There was not even a hint of sympathy for his co-workers in his cold, hardened expression. "Are you saying you''re going to throw all these people away?" "It means that people who live should live. Besides. To climb the tower in the future, it is not the weak, but the outstanding, right? Even for the future of mankind." The future of mankind? Theresa clenched her fists. Nails dug into the palm of his hand, but he felt no pain. " don''t you want to bury this matter?" He probably didn''t want to let people know that the reason the raid failed was the guild''s desire to monopolize magic crystals, unless it was for the sake of mankind. okay. Fayden simply wants to shirk all this responsibility. For that to happen, all witnesses must disappear. "Think as you please. If you don''t want to go, I won''t stop you." Faiden turned his back without hesitation and disappeared towards the other side of the forest. OK. "Kie-ee!" "Kee!" seems to have been waiting The bugs that had been hiding began to appear one by one. Now that the most annoying prey has dumped the rest on its feet, it''s time to start hunting in earnest. "Te, Teresa! The monsters are coming!" "Where the hell is the chief engineer?" Abandoned engineers hurriedly found Teresa and Fayden. ''I can''t abandon these people.'' No matter how plausible the cause was, he had no intention of continuing his life with the blood of his colleagues. Even if Even if the result of that choice is his own death. [Unique ability .] A warm starlight came down from the sky. The faint light created by squeezing out the lack of mana melted along Teresa''s blonde hair. [''Blessing of the Stars'' is activated!] The saint drew her sword and shield. Standing in front as if enveloping everyone. CH 368 gray forest (1) Puppupuck! kwaaang! "Kie-ee!" "Keeek!" As the faintly shining swords and shields moved erratically, the limbs of the shattered insects scattered in all directions. A battle that has been going on for nearly 30 minutes. However, the endlessly flocking insects showed no sign of stopping. "Aww! Damn left. Look left!" Wrong now. It''s all wrong!" getting more and more confused Is it the limit to stand with your back to the tree? It was not easy for the other players to keep their formation properly due to the lack of stamina and mana. The only hope left now is Teresa. [Theresa activates Lv13 ''Battle Song''!] [Theresa activates Lv14 ''Last Holy Name''!] Attack power, defense power, and even recovery ability. A handful of remaining mana were optimized and moved. In addition, when the ''Last Holy Name'' was activated, an environment was prepared where you could immerse yourself in battle until the moment of death. With this, everything is ready. shoot ah... . A white cross that came down from heaven. There. "going." Teresa began her final struggle. kwaang! Deflect the claws flying from the side with the shield. Whoops! Immediately, aim at the weak skin and insert the sword. "Kie-ee!" "Keeek!" A situation where even one mistake can lead to death. Everything has to be perfect in order to last even one second longer. Teresa slaughtered more than ten earwigs in an instant. And the large bugs flew towards the passageway. fault! Fast. lightly. A golden sword crossed the tree trunk. kuung! The passage was blocked as logs the size of a house were cut down. "Oh oh oh! To block the most troublesome place, there are only two places they can come from this." "Okay, Teresa! It''s done. Now it''s done!" "The Saint of Amsterdam is with us!" The players burst into cheers. Thanks to Teresa working harder than expected, she was making a way out from the back, little by little. If you only reach the valley about 1km away, even the insects will not be able to attack easily. Little by little, hope began to appear in this hellish situation. But, right then. "Koooooooh!" A scream resounded as if the gray forest was about to leave. kuung! Trees fell left and right. "Great, it''s a large species!" something is coming It''s also incredibly fast. And after a while, what appeared in the forest was a disaster that took away all hope. "Unbelievable ." Teresa dropped her sword straight down. It was because the enemy that appeared before my eyes was so absurd. Only about 8m high. It is a teratoma with 12 claws and 3 heads. But what was more terrifying than the appearance was the mana flowing from the monster''s body. Chi profit! The poisonous poison burns the surrounding grass and trees black. It is so venomous that even the same insects can avoid it. [[King of Yeoldokchung(ᶾx)] ''Crayberatis'' has activated the special field skill ''Region Declaration''!] The king of insects that rules the gray forest. And the green confrontation system created by that foe enzyme devoured the whole area. "Keep... Kek. Kek." "Sue, I can''t breathe..." "You have to get out of here right now." The players covered their throats and snorted. As soon as he took a breath, a warm energy permeated deep into his lungs. "Even when such a great wide-area magic is activated there is no change in the wavelength of mana." I can''t even measure how high the basic mana amount is. "Is it because of this monster that the Church also delayed the pursuit?" Teresa swallowed dry saliva. right then "Kee-e-e-e!" Cray Veratis swung her claws. It''s fast paced for its hefty size. The tongs that dug into the side in an instant slammed into one tanker''s body. kwaduduk! "Aww!" The entire shield and armor collapsed, and blood was spurted out. "Father, fast!" "Damn! It''ll attract attention, so let''s spread each other out! Scatter and bounce!" A magic player double casts fire magic and light attribute magic. Pugh! With a dazzling flash of light, his vision turned white. But. It was a huge mistake to think that it had created a gap. Insects'' senses are not just specialized in sight. touch, smell and hearing. That is, everything for hunting was optimized. "Eat... I''ll clean it up. Humans." Thick saliva fell from the wide open mouth. "Hahaha... If that''s the case, you''re just... dying... Ah." Resignation beyond despair. Dark death fell over his face. That''s it. puff puff puff! The torn pieces of meat were scattered all over the place. "Richard!" "Damn it. If there''s no defense, no escape, no disturbance, what the hell am I supposed to do!" "! If at least my condition was normal..." If so, If only the entire raid group could play their role. It wouldn''t have collapsed like this. However, hopes filled with families are only hopes to the last. The reality is cruel law. "Kee-e-e-e!" "Aaaaah" A short-haired woman was caught trying to get out of the blind spot quickly. "Ahhhhhh!" A class A assassination series with short-distance space movement ability. Despite the unique fast movement speed and stealth ability, he could not escape the siege. "No. Don''t eat it. Grab it and eat it..." hard! kwaduk! mumble. It takes less than 10 seconds to eat a person. And if it goes on like this, it will all disappear into his stomach. ''You have to buy time for everyone to escape. Even if I fall.'' Teresa resisted the poison and raised her divine power. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo "!" regurgitating mana. In addition to detoxifying the poison, the whole body became overloaded due to the attention of the party. My consciousness tried to block all senses at once because of the pain that exceeded the limit. still. ''You must not give up here. I can''t.'' Teresa managed to catch her fading consciousness. - Rather, why don''t you hand over your personality to me? Then it would be much more worthwhile. "No... no. I won''t depend on you." - Huh. Our Sundingi is a bit stubborn. Anyway, that blunt idiot won''t look at you, right? I''d rather leave it to me and be comfortable. That''s the only way for you and me, for everyone. The devil''s sweet temptation digging into his ear. If we ''fall'', we may be able to get out of the current crisis. But. Theresa refused to listen to the voice of the other person. '' You''ll hate it.'' A person who keeps going. The person I first met at the ruins of the tower and who has been with me ever since. I didn''t want to show him how his personality was slowly being eroded by darkness and changing. If you abuse corruption whenever you need it, you will eventually lose your self completely. Theresa raised her shield at an angle. And in line with the flying claws. bang! The shock spilled to the side. at the same time. fault! I started running with my center of gravity forward. Numerous claws flew, but Teresa responded calmly. Kaga! Using the bevel of the sword, it traverses the beat and steals the opponent''s timing. like that. ''done.'' Teresa digs deep into the skinned arms. Now, all you need to do is break through the inside with a sword full of divine power. It was a huge mistake to think so. Boo woo woo! Something flashed in front of Teresa''s face. "...!?" To be honest, it was pure luck, not skill, that I just avoided the attack. ''paper Nor is it.'' He didn''t even know how he attacked. You used that as a weapon just by looking at its furiously moving tail... just think that "Kee-e-e-e!" Like a lotus sword. Attacks that made it impossible to read the trajectory came one after another. I couldn''t avoid it this time. kwaang! "Aww!" with great shock. Teresa''s body soared high into the air. The body, which had flown several meters, barely stopped after being hit by a large log. Throb! Throb! Teresa staggered up from among the rubble. ''The arm... It''s broken.'' If it''s a miracle that you managed to block it, it''s a miracle. If it''s not a clean fracture, but the bone powder crumbling into pieces, it''s a problem. No matter how much ''Blessing of the Stars'' recovers, it will take some time. of course. kuung! "Kee-e-e-e!" The opponent seemed unwilling to give it a chance. It''s over. The faces of everyone who watched were stained with despair. Teresa also saw the giant insect approaching, and bit her molars as if resigning. It is useless to say that ''Corruption'' is activated now. It was because the poison had already penetrated through the lungs and into the heart. Boo Woong! claws fly A huge shadow fell over his face. "Ah ." A sad moan escaped Teresa''s mouth. But at that very moment. kwaaang! The claws that were tearing everything apart were blocked by something. "You''re trying to save people even in this situation, it''s really Teresa-san." Jinhyuk was standing in front of Teresa with a dagger. "Jinhyuk Mr.?" "Now I''ll take over. Please rest easy." The owner of the gray forest and the king of insects. Those were the words to describe Kreiberatis. Even among the fiercest forces on the 20th floor, it is you who confidently dominates the vast area of the floor. Those who invade the realm of the king are only prey. but '' What do you mean? What about this petty creature?'' The black-haired human in front of him could not see what the prey should do. or die of fear. or run away Such actions, such as clumsily rebelling or not. But, it doesn''t matter. I''ll just have to give a cheeky bastard a death worthy of it. kuung! Huge claws crossed across. As he has done so far, in order to tear his prey into pieces. And that moment. [Unique ability .] The surroundings were dyed black. [ ] ''Sword Grave'' will bloom.] Everything was dyed black. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! What followed was a black crescent moon that covered the sky in the forest. Black as obsidian That was the impression of the king of insects who saw the crescent moon. "Kee-e-e-e!" A long burst of screams. The clipped claws of Kraberatis rotated round and round in the air. "I''ve been watching the moon on bugs, haven''t I lost a leg?" "Kie-e-e... you dare, do you know who I am and attack you?" "What is a beetle eating just a small forest?" "Wow, a king worm?" "Yeah. I don''t know the difference between you and cockroaches in my eyes? It''s a little big, so I can''t kill it... is that the difference?" Jinhyuk died. "I''ll kill you... I''ll throw it away!" In the three jaws, different mana were aggregated. kukukuku! poison and fire. And lightning and wind. A whopping 4 attributes of breath unfolded in one place. CH 369 gray forest (2) Usually, casting two spells at the same time is called double casting, and more than that is called triple, quadraple, or pentaple. By the way, magic comparable to Breath. Activating a quadruple? Magical players were aware of how complicated that formula was. If at least dozens of rankers do not accurately calculate and respond to each of their different attributes and powers, there will be no chance of stopping them. "Damn, you still haven''t released your powers properly?" "I how are you going to stop that?" "It''s just... it''s over." The range of the skill''s destructive power is estimated to be over several hundred meters. It means that even avoiding is not allowed with a tired body. But. "Okay. Now." Leaving everyone''s worries behind. Teresa opened her mouth. The warmth that passes through your green eyes. okay. Now all the dangerous times have passed. There is no more reason to panic. "Theresa... what is that...? Ah! Look at that person." Only then did everyone''s eyes turn to Jinhyuk. It was moving so fast, and the visibility of the dark forest made it difficult for me. Now I can see who the opponent is. "It''s Jinhyuk Kang!" "Really. You''re Jinhyuk Kang, the 8th guild player!" "That ranker came all the way here?" no doubt That look, that man. The strongest ranker everyone knows appeared here. ''It''s quadruple attribute magic... Still, the owner of the forest is the owner, right?'' Jinhyuk let out a small exclamation. Obviously, there aren''t many bosses who can use that kind of ability. In the middle class, that is. ''Finally, it will be a good test subject.'' Jinhyuk injected mana into his sword. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo A river that burns red hot. [Havelian''s Soul - Barnard answers his master''s call!] The color has changed. Due to the blue sword and the dark red energy emanating from it, a soft purple mist flowed from the entire dagger. ''Finally, it''s time for a demonstration.'' Also, the newly acquired sword is good. It''s because the feeling in the hand is different from the existing fangs. tuk. The body accelerated through ''Sword Magical Cheonryeongbo'' disappeared as it was. The wind that blew past the ground flew straight over Kreiberatis'' head. from above... . Under. Scratch! The sword that fell in a straight line cut through the hard shell. "Ke-e-e-e!" Body fluids were scattered everywhere. It is a movement that has nothing to say other than that it is clean. Kak kak kak kak! Wounds that grow faster and faster. The blood that spurted out was also noticeably increased. That was then. kuung! kwaang! Kraberatis drove the legs deep into the ground. It sounds like you want to keep your center of gravity strong. rigid body. at the same time. A tail attack that could not read the trajectory unfolded. It was the attack that broke Teresa''s arm with one blow a while ago. "I''ll kill you!" KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Traces of countless slashes appearing on the ground. I felt the will to grind the target entirely. However. Jinhyuk avoided all the tails that rushed like a storm. Instead of seeing and reacting, it''s as if you''re memorizing everything where it''s coming from. Tuk... fault! Shasak! Neck, heart, temples. It''s really just a piece of paper. However, no matter how much you attack, it doesn''t seem right. "I, that''s, is the human movement correct?" "Even an A-class assassination series couldn''t even react "I''ve already missed five." "Hahaha. I feel like I''ve become an idiot for congratulating myself on being promoted to ranker." "If it wasn''t Faydon, but that person was the captain of the engineering... our expedition would have been successful. Obviously." Those who watched the acrobatics that were close to sacred swallowed dry saliva. " " Theresa also stared at the movie-like battle scene with her mouth open blankly. Finding a regularity in that orbit seemed close to impossible. In fact, he also had his arm smashed in the first shot. "Really he is someone who has no such thing as impossible." The world Jinhyuk saw and felt was different from that of ordinary players. He must be feeling something that only the deceased can do in a completely different time and space. Boo woo woo! Finally, the movement of the tail slowed. aim for that gap. bang! Jinhyeok dug into the skin of Crayberatis at once. Teresa''s movement was the same, but the speed was never the same. The ability to read trajectories. The ability to judge the situation in the moment. It was different from before. "Kie-ee!" Because of this, Kraberatis had no choice but to panic. The woman I met a while ago was also a talented person that other guys followed. It means that it is a prey that is equivalent to the rank of a captain who leads a group. nevertheless. ''Do you mean that the difference is this big?'' It felt like a huge wall that I had never faced before. If you go like this, you will Having judged that way, Cray Beratis raised her jaws toward the sky. [Cray Beratis activates his unique ability ''Army Ant''!] Chewy profit! Instantly, steam with an unfamiliar scent cut into the green smoke. This ? Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. Clearly, that size''s unique ability involves morphing . "Hey. I thought this was a boss with filthy pride, but when I''m in a corner, I use my unique ability. But, that ability. Didn''t you hate it?" "...do you know about my abilities?" aldamada. It''s a little different, but I''ve also fought a divinity with a higher ability than yours, don''t you know that? The power, strengths, and weaknesses of this ability. stitching together "Isn''t that the ability to transform all insects into the same species as you?" Jinhyuk shrugged, as if he knew. OK. Cray Beratis''s eyes sank so coldly that it could not be compared with before. "He''s more dangerous than it looks. If it weren''t for the guys on this floor, you''d never know." Among the powers of the 20th floor, a unique ability known only to the leader level. I''m sure a stranger seeing it for the first time could see right through it. However. "Yeah, anyway. There''s no way I can cope with my abilities." As long as the ability is activated, the game is decided. All the bugs in this forest will be transformed into the strongest fighting race, just like Cray Beratis. Soon, the appearance of the salivating insects in the forest began to change. hard! card... Suddenly... . Hundreds of three-headed insects appeared with an eerie sound. A miniaturized version of Cray Veratiris. "Sal... dot." "Soft... meat." "An intestine full of blood and juice. I''m going to eat it. I''m going to eat it all... I''m going to clean it up." Mana that can''t even be compared with before. "Kie-e-e-e! How do you feel? Can you handle this large number?" Cray Veratis let out a rippling brilliance. "Hmm. That''s a lot." Hundreds of enemies at an estimate. Also, under the effect of ''military ants'', the physical ability is increased and the intellect is removed. It is said that he has become a faithful shogi horse who only carries out the orders of Cray Beratis. But that''s it. ssuk. Jinhyuk''s ears perked up at the sound of the grass moving. "No matter how sluggish you are, now is the time to come." "Coming? What do you mean?" Cray Beratis'' question became the fuse. "Kie-ee!" "Eat. Eat. Eat!" "Tear to death!" The worms leapt. at the same time. kwaang! The bush on the other side was split. "Kyao!" A large wild beast with pure white fur roared. Havelian. Mythical beast, whom Jinhyuk joined because he saved his life, had their debut game. Pachi-chi-chi-chi... Chick! A stream of ice arose, and all the insects in a row turned into ice statues. "Hey. Newbies are pretty good. Where else did the owner bring such a monster?" "Don''t say anything else and let''s go quickly. Now is the time!" "I''m afraid of bugs. It''s disgusting because there are so many limbs." "Isn''t the owner a million times more terrifying than these worms?" "Everyone, be quiet. My head hurts." There, the spirit beasts led by Undine also joined the battle. ''great.'' The corner of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. When combined with a spirit beast or a Mythical beast, the attack power is increased by 30%! The mana emanating from the barnard became even thicker. "What, what are these guys...?" A variable that suddenly appeared. Cray Beratis looked around. It was hard to believe that the noble race, Mythical beast, or the spirits obeyed mere human orders. The embarrassment shook my head, but this was only the beginning. If a huge natural disaster was coming, would it be like this? kukukuku! The ground is torn apart. It was none other than a muscular old man who brought the storm. "It''s a shame that little creatures are blocking the front of the main throne." dark sulfur. And next to them, Chuhonsayeong and Cheon Yuseong drew their swords respectively. "Master. It''s them." "Oh my, there are a lot of them, just as Confucius Cheon said." "I''m sorry to have to deal with these filthy people. I also wanted to solve it with our own strength if possible..." "No. Still, this master isn''t all that bad to be able to fight with his student, isn''t he? Chu Hon Sa-young laughed wildly. "Chun Yu-seong... Mr. Ellis-san, Dark Emperor Grandpa... Everyone!" Teresa looked at her new companions. from this distant place. I never thought I''d see everyone again. Everyone came. To save them from this hell. However, The feeling that filled my heart didn''t last long. "Ah ." A groan of astonishment escaped Teresa''s mouth. stopped forgetting What kind of existence is the deceased who has come to you now? "You guys what are you doing?" "Who are we?" The corner of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. As if waiting for you to say that. [Gray Forest is recognized as a boss field.] [The broadcasting system is activated.] All these scenes are already being recorded on video. Since the broadcast was made private, viewers could not come in, but Jinhyuk is currently ''live broadcast'' Just the fact that it was in progress could attract a lot of aggro. ''If I edit it properly and upload it, I can make it pretty sweet this time too.'' And the most important thing for success is... . "Elise!" "Oh, I know. Wait a minute!" Alice bit her lip with a weeping expression. The dignity of the Absolute was nowhere to be found on the nape of the neck and face, which had become red from shame. "Baby baby. Stop giving up." Elise parted her lips as if she had given up on everything. "Wow, we''re Goin Corporation. And Jim is... Yellow, the ranged dealer!" "Puhahaha! Well done. The main seat is the student''s teacher. He''s in charge of whether it''s black or not." "It''s Cheonyuseong. Melee... Dealer. Position is Blue. It''s a request, but please don''t raise this much. Various complaints continued, but Jinhyuk''s mind was full of thoughts to make this battle a success. ''here . Well. not bad.'' Here''s a close-up of each. Jinhyuk looked at Teresa this time. The burdened eyes met face-to-face. Right next to it, Undine had created the words ''Healer - PINK'' with water. Now there is no more choice. "Go, I''m Pink, who is the healer of Goin Corporation!" Teresa cried and cried. CH 370 gray forest (3) "Go, Goin Corporation? Pink? Yellow? What the hell is that?" Cray Beratis tilted his head. However, you don''t have to answer all of them. Especially for those who are going to die soon. "Yes. Something like that." Miscellaneous bugs will be taken care of by the rest. It''s time to beat the most important guy and save Theresa and the players. [Lv3 ''Hell Fire'' is activated!] A blazing flame appeared in his left hand. The flame of hell that evaporates even stones as they are. and. [The unique ability ''Black Tears'' is activated!] Black liquid began to drip from the barnard held in his right hand. "I thought I wanted to take a picture with the military car, but that turned out to be a handshake." The end of such an absurd mana begins to appear. It must have been unavoidable to activate the ''military ants''. Jinhyuk moved first. Boo Woong! Hellfire gathered in his left hand crossed the air. "...Kie-e-e!" Craybetaris instinctively sensed that he shouldn''t be hit, so he quickly turned his body to the side. However, it was close to impossible to dodge the Hellfire that flew quickly with such a large size. Aww! "Aww!" With the scattering dark red volcanic bombs. The huge body of the insect bounced back. It was so powerful that all the bushes behind Cray Beratis were engulfed in flames. Whoops! "Kee!" "Ke-e-e-e!" A flame that spreads uncontrollably. The bodies of insects that had been caught in the vicinity burned alive. "After all, worms have to be burned for their taste." Jinhyuk took a stance to leap toward Cray Beratis, who was struggling with pain. Dark mana soaked in the black tears falling from ''Barnard''. "Kee-e-eek! Ki-ae-ek!" I can see him struggling to escape the fire. As the motion increased, the position of the heart was also clearly captured. fault! Jinhyuk immediately attacked. Now that the opponent''s defense has collapsed with Hellfire, this is the best time to stop breathing. Scratch! The dagger cut through the skin and cut the flesh. Green body fluid splattered, and long swords appeared along the waist. Chi profit! [''Corruption'' proceeds due to the effect of Black Tears!] [Adds +100 damage per second!] A gum that discolors quickly. Black Tears was a powerful ability in itself, but it also had a special effect that made the wound worse. Cray Beratis, who witnessed the rotting flesh with his own eyes, raised his claws. Not to attack. To survive. To escape from this terrible pain. It was quite grotesque to see him tearing off his flesh with his own claws. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! A voice full of wrath. Moment. The concentration of mana around it changed. At the same time, the Hellfire attached to the black skin faded. [The owner of the gray forest starts ''shape transformation''!] aka Phase 2. This is a trait that only quite rare among boss monsters. Not only does the shape change, but the quality of mana also increases. Therefore, a boss monster with phase 2 must be evaluated as a boss at least a few steps above the existing floor. I swear kwaduduk! As the skeleton changed, Cray Beratis began to shrink. It compresses mana through miniaturization and excludes energy spent in useless places. This was the true nature of the boss who ruled the gray forest. "Damn. I was originally saving up to wipe out the Black Hill tribesmen. But, it''s refreshing to see you doing this after a long time." It has a body similar to that of a human, and characteristically has five tails. "I''ve shrunk a lot, so the feeling of intimidation is much less than before, is it true that I''ve gotten stronger?" "Fufu. Keep talking. It will be difficult for you to see me from now on..." Cray Beratis giggled leisurely and looked around. Then he raised the corners of his lips as if he had decided something. "Okay. First of all. I''ll kill the things your guy cherishes first." kwaang! Cray Beratis disappeared from the spot. fast! Jinhyuk''s gaze turned to the right. However. "...!?" There is nothing caught in the hand outstretched into the air. Cray Beratis, already out of range, was sprinting forward frantically. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Cray Veratis went mad. sight passing in an instant. lighter body. To overflowing power! Truly everything is perfect. If the only disappointment is not being able to use this power properly in the upcoming power war, would it be a pity? ''I should have fought in this form to defeat the children of the Church of the Wraith and the Black Hill tribesmen... .'' Obviously, losing one trump card is painful. In particular, the denominations are currently looking for something, so the boundaries of the main camp are weak. It was the best condition to expand the area if we dug into this time properly. However, if I could tear apart the abominable humans in front of me... . that''s not as bad as it is Sassaak! Cray Veratis brushed past the players in the blink of an eye. Frey, who was frantically swinging a javelin from one side, responded a beat late. "!" didn''t fit The pike cut through the air, pierced the tree on the other side, and went to the rock and nailed it. "Damn it! What kind of speed...!" Cheon Yoosung also missed the shadow. The three meals of ''Sword of Souls'' swept the ground two beats late. "Khahaha! Now do you understand? They say you guys are a little crazy, but that''s the level of the lower floors of the tower! It''s incomparable to us, who fight for our lives every day!" overwhelming speed. The high-speed movement comparable to space movement could not even be followed with the naked eye. Kwok! A sharp arm grabbed the head of a female player. It was a magical player in front of Teresa. "Huh?... Huh?" "Now that you realize you''ve been caught. As expected, it exploded slowly. Humans are..." Push Shush! Blood gushed out like a fountain from the pulled out head. "For once." "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" A huge man who witnessed the death of his comrade raised his siege hammer high. Boo Woong! The hammer fell to the ground with a terrifying breakout. kwaang! However, a body that had evaded even the attacks of Frey and Cheon Yu-seong could not be hit by a slow attack. "Two with this." Blood gushed out again from the neatly cut armour. Even with armor stacked with defensive magic, it could not withstand the phase 2 strike. next . Cray Veratis looked straight at Teresa. The third prey is that human female. ''I wonder how he would react if he killed the thing he wanted to protect the most.'' I could see Jinhyuk just about to run from afar, but By the time you come here, the woman''s neck must be plucked out. "You won''t be easily beaten!" Teresa did her best to gather mana. The idea was to expand his divine power to respond to the mana around him. "Because it''s a kick that must be fun too." chut. Tsutsu. Dodge the sword that crosses the air by tilting your head slightly. Attacks aimed at vital points are replaced by moving steps. and. In line with the timing of the blade aiming at the neck. Kwajik! He grabbed the blade with his fingers. "Is it over?" "A monster, like a monster..." Teresa''s face hardened. "Just die." But just when my hand was about to touch the nape of my neck. I felt mana approaching from behind. "Have you been chasing me already? You''re a little too confident about your speed... huh!?" kwaang! Cray Beratis, who found Jinhyeok approaching right in front of him, took a deep breath. He barely swung his tail, so he almost had a big wind hole in his back. "Hey, it''s been really quick with Phase 2. I just thought I''d finish it off with an attack." "Yeah... bastard!" "Ah. Don''t be too hot. You''ve finished molting at the best, but if you get excited and die in vain, wouldn''t that be unfair?" "You mean I lose? To a human like you?" Paang! One of the tails fired like a bullet. A sonic boom occurred, and a sharp tip pierced Jinhyuk''s head. No, I thought it went through. Jinhyuk tilted his head slightly to avoid his tail and smiled. "It''s fast, but the movement is too monotonous. Should I say that I don''t have a taste for predicting the opponent''s movement? That''s why it''s so easy to dodge." "Aww!" Cray Beratis, overheated, swung all five tails. This time, not only the head, but also the arms and legs and torso. It seems like it doesn''t matter where you are, as long as it can hurt you even a little. Kaka Kaka Kang! The dazzling flames blazed dizzyingly. The speed of the tail was too fast to be seen with the naked eye, but Jinhyuk moved his body with a dagger faster than that. "How about this!" kwaang! Cray Beratis, with its tail stuck in the tree, soared into the air. A tail attack that strikes down about 3m from above. Because the angle was different, the speed and trajectory were also unfamiliar. However, this time too, Jinhyuk combed his tail with a single sheet of paper. ''That''s a bit annoying.'' Jinhyuk, who moved to the side for a few meters, caught his breath. Because it moves by driving its tail into a tree, it has no choice but to lose the space above it. Most of all, being able to freely change direction in the air was the most troublesome. then . Behind Jinhyuk''s back, blue mana was condensed. comes calling [''Memory of the World'' is opened.] this . A battle that only all-rounders can do. The power to force a favorable match against the opponent is superior to any existing unique ability. [The unique ability ''Nanshin'' is activated!] Six golden translucent arms appeared behind Jinhyuk''s back. monstrous body. This is the unique ability of the close range used by the Yacha. "Uh, what ?" There are more numbers than the tails that Cray Beratis pulled out. Besides. "Careful. It''s not just about speed." Jinhyuk extended his fist forward. Three sonic booms were made along the direction of the fist. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! One ticket. Trees are uprooted and the ground is plowed. "Aaaaaah!" It''s incredibly fast and its power is beyond imagination. It was a broad blow that made even the speed, which is the strength of Cray Beratis, overshadowed. However, it does not end here. There is no true martial art in the mere swing of a fist. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Mana circling along the veins began to flow more violently. it''s slimy A black energy erupted from his body. ''Black Heaven Demon Hwanggong (ħʹ)''. ''The mana I have and... .'' Formula 12 (ʮʽ). ''Through Yacha''s arm... .'' unipolar unity. ''Reproduce Master''s Mugong.'' A great storm raged. The strongest winds emitted from its six arms penetrated the atmosphere. Quazy! The tails were ripped apart by the whirlpool. could be avoided. can''t stop it If I hadn''t used ''military ants'' in the first place, it would have been difficult to endure. After the storm had passed, there was nothing standing there. "Turn it off... Turn it off..." Pupper Pupper Puck! Cray Beratis, completely raged, fell on the spot. at the same time. T-tiring! [You have occupied the ''Gray Forest'', one of the giant forces on the 20th floor!] [Level has risen!] [Level has risen!] [You have acquired a ''random skill box (?)''!] [The hostility and vigilance of all the factions towards the Goin Corporation rises to the maximum!] Successive status windows followed. CH 371 ''Sloth'', the teacher of the ghost (One) A regular hexagonal box with a subtle silver tint. Hoo. this is where it will come from Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. The random skill box is a kind of dismantled item. The type of reward is determined by how much you dismantle the tightly sealed box. ''In a word, it means that the more you dismantle, the better you can acquire among the skills that exist on the 20th floor.'' However, dismantling the random box is a story after a while. When everyone around you disappears. That is the time to extract the skill from this box. "Mr. Jinhyuk!" "Come on, Kang Jin-hyuk player!" The players who watched the battle trembling in fear ran to one step. Everyone has a tired look on their faces. Since I came to the 20th floor, I was constantly being chased, so of course I had to reach my limit. "Are you all right?" "Yes. Thanks to Jinhyuk for coming on time, we were spared from being annihilated." Teresa nodded her head. Then, as if waiting, the rest expressed their gratitude. "I, thank you very much. I thought it was all wrong. I thought it was all over..." "When the chief engineer abandoned us, we gave up everything." "How on earth should I repay this favor... Player Jinhyuk Kang is a benefactor of our guild." Sobbing echoed all over the place. I really thought he was dead. They said they would lose their lives one by one while being brutally hunted. However. At the worst moment, the strongest ally appeared. That''s the Goin Corporation. "Really, everyone was amazing. I heard that only the most prominent members were selected, but seeing it in person, those words were rather abbreviated." Carlos, the man who participated as the magic corps commander of this raid muttered with a face full of emotion. Goin Corporation . If there are rankers from large guilds coming, will you be able to deal with one of them? Even if Olympus and the other six guilds were combined, it was questionable whether they would be able to follow their toes. ''Of course, recently, large-scale rookies are coming out.'' Due to mana from the Tower of Trials, people who started to awaken as latecomers were joining one after another. Among them, there were those with outstanding talents. Just like Faydon, who is currently the deputy master of the Olympus Guild. Even so, it was absurd to compare them with Cheon Yu-seong or Elise. '' Besides, that muscular grandfather and blue-haired girl are beyond imagination.'' The image of sweeping away the insects a while ago has not yet been etched in my mind. That''s an overwhelming disparity. They are rankers who can play the role of one raid alone. ''That knight in white armor must also be a very talented person... .'' Carlos glanced to the side. There were Abraham, who was servicing the weapons, and Pesis, caring for the wounded. The two also looked far from ordinary at a glance. But the most absurd thing is... . ''It''s Jinhyuk Kang player.'' Carlos managed to calm his trembling fists. An out-of-standard boss that overwhelmed the entire raid. Even Teresa, who is one of the highest ranking paladins in the world, including the Holy See, was no match for that monster. Jinhyuk unilaterally took a picture of such a desperate enemy... From Carlos''s point of view, he had no choice but to look at the sky. "Clean up the wounded and prepare to camp. We''ll be spending the night here." "Yes? Camping?" When they heard that they were camping, Carlos and the rest of the players were shocked. "Are you worried about the denominations?" "Yeah, yes." Even though the crisis was over immediately, the pursuit of that leech-like denomination had not stopped. We have been aiming for this side relentlessly until now, so we will continue to tighten the siege. "Don''t worry, I''ll make it through tonight at least." Jinhyuk smiled brightly. [[Current ''wide optical illusion'' in a radius of 15 km] barrier is being activated.] I have already put a barrier around the forest. Since I came here quickly, the 6-star rating was the limit, but it won''t be easy to destroy it because it''s tripled. The players of the Alliance raid fell into a deep sleep, both you and me. And Jinhyuk... . I was in a very difficult situation and I was sweating. Here''s the start of the case: I''m hungry, so let''s procure food from nearby places in moderation. And wouldn''t it be better to eat something that is already delicious? Is. ''It was good so far... .'' Jinhyuk patted his throbbing head. The problem is that it has become overheated because it has not become a competition. "Contractor. Doesn''t this look cute? You have to eat this. Okay? Don''t forget about the others, just this." "Oh my gosh. My little one brings something that looks like it will die instantly if you look at it. Are you going to serve it as an ingredient? This beautiful looking mushroom would be much better than that." "...All of them have a 0% chance of survival. The one I brought is the most recommended as food." Even Ellis and Frey and Teresa, who for some reason turned black as if she had been self-controlled. A terrible meal was being prepared for the witches of the fog village to cry in front of the bonfire. Jinhyuk''s eyes turned to the ingredients that each brought. First of all, Elise, who is appealing most passionately, has brought a carcass of an insect that she does not know what kind of creature it is. Even the three-legged insect was the first one I had ever seen while doing the Tower of Trials. As Elise said, she looked cute, but seeing a lot of purple thorns made her instinctively feel dangerous. But when she ate the mushrooms that Teresa had chopped, it was a poisonous mushroom called the ''widowmaker''. ''No, isn''t it common sense that poisonous mushrooms are gorgeous?'' I don''t know what the hell they were thinking of bringing the rainbow-colored mushrooms. Finally, Frey also brought some terrible ingredients. ''It''s a gray wasp nest and honey.'' The taste is insanely good and is addictive, but if you consume more than a certain amount, there is a risk of falling into severe hallucinations. It would be better to see it as a drug rather than food. "So who are you going to eat? Of course it''s mine? Huh? Contractor!" "A sane person wouldn''t eat what the kid brought." "Who, whoever sees you say you''re a kid! You stupid saint!" "Honey... it''s good for the body." If you do not make a choice, you will be forced to feed. kukukuku! In fact, everyone gathered mana and surrounded Jinhyeok as if encircling him. Naturally, there is no way out. If you do not make a choice, you may have to eat all of them. "Fuhaha! After all, after victory, a glass of Miju is the best. Disciple. If you eat all the food the sojourners gave you, you should have a drink with the main table as well. Don''t think about it." Huge wine barrels were laid down to the dark hwang. Only solo over 60 degrees. " " this is hell At least it''s like hell. Jinhyuk slowly closed his eyes. With a face that gave up on everything. "Fufu. If Confucius is also envious, will this master get you something delicious?" " It''s okay. Master, you eat a lot." Cheon Yu-seong ate a crunchy fruit from a tree. like that. The night grew deeper and deeper. A landscape that is out of this world. The night sky lined with dismal constellations and red giants comes into view. and. jerk. Nyarlathotep followed the path where the bizarre plants grew. " " Just keep your mouth shut and walk forward. Considering his usually cheerful personality, the atmosphere now has subsided too heavily. I had no choice but to do so. What will happen after a while, no matter how much Nyarlathotep, is kind of unwelcome. How long would you have walked like that? At the ends of the plants dyed black, there was a beautiful-looking heterogeneous race with long pink hair. half-and-half. The upper body was human, but the lower body was that of a goat. Sitting on a throne made of black branches and drowning in thoughts, it was not alluring or even dreamy. and towards her. "Mother." Nyarlathotep spoke slowly. Then, without a reaction, the being sitting on the throne turned its head. "You''re late." "I''m sorry. There were a few things I had to deal with." "Yeah. That''s right. I heard that Old Guard was hurt." short impression. However, what that meant was by no means taken lightly. kuung! "Wow!" Nyarlathotep''s waist was bent 90 degrees. Nyarlathotep''s whole body trembled thinly at the mana that transcends cognition. Shub Nigurs. True to the nickname of being the mother of all things, the strength of her body did not even dare to fathom its end. Even Nyarlathotep can''t fight it. "That, that..." "Yeah, go ahead and tell me. I''m waiting for you." "I was just trying to take the crown of a human for the sake of our future. It''s not a huge force, and if it''s just one player, there''s plenty of potential..." "In the end, doesn''t that mean that you looked down on your opponent while being careless? Obviously, even though you clearly saw that the human drove this mother away." Shub Niguras stood up. Plants split left and right, and the sound of giggling laughter began to fill the room. "Ha, but ! Wasn''t that guy dealing with his mother by way of expediency?" Nyarlathotep protested with an angry face. Shub Niguras continued speaking calmly. "The first hourglass began to go down." "I guess ! Are you saying that the causal ratio is flowing?" Nyarlathotep''s eyes burst open. ''The First Hourglass'' is a kind of prediction of the future. Like the Greek ''three goddesses of fate'' or Eden''s ''Revelation'', it creates a powerful future. However, unlike the rest, which foresee the future broadly, the ''first hourglass'' predicts only one thing. The fact that someone enters the 50th floor. "Yeah. Soon. Someone''s going to come from where we live. And it''s probably that human." Unlike the prophecies of other floors, which may be subject to interpretation. There is no such thing as interpretation in ''The First Hourglass''. As long as the sand begins to fall, it means that someone will surely reach the 50th floor. "Your mother is overestimating that person. There are a lot of strong people under the tower. By the way, are you saying that he will come here? Beat all the forces of the 40th floor?" Originally, it would be absurd. No matter how prominent they are, players who have only been in the tower for a few years. Reaching the top of the tower was impossible. However. Shub Niguras'' face was full of confidence than ever. "I can''t fall asleep because of this, because toys to soothe boredom are constantly coming out." shruck. A grain of sand falls in the hourglass. "Give the orders to the minions released on the lower floor of the tower. We will also join the power war from now on." In line with that, the beings on the 50th floor also began to move. CH 372 ''Sloth'', the teacher of the ghost (2) Hearing that the owners of the Gray Forest had changed, a great commotion arose on the 20th floor. Cray Beratis had that much power. This is because the strength of the body was not pushed back compared to other large forces. The biggest anger was ''Sloth'', the leader of the cult of ghosts. "It is said that the saint joined a place called Goin Corporation." News like lightning in a dry sky. The target that must be secured has fallen into the hands of the Amons. "Are you referring to the force that is led by humans, Jinhyuk Kang?" "Yes. The scout team is currently trying to find the exact location, but it is not working as it is blocked by a strange barrier." Even with the authority bestowed by the Demon King, detection is not easy. That means that the other party has also responded to something. "Besides, as we move, the other sides start to move too." "You mean the Black Hill tribe too?" "Yeah... This is an urgent report that the orcs occupied one of our temples this morning." Hearing that he had lost his temple, Sloth''s eyebrows curved backwards. I had no choice but to do so. On the 20th floor, there are a total of seven temples owned by the cult of ghosts. Afterwards, under the orders of Guntafer, to expand the power of the demon world. All employees must be secured from this side. "Which temple?" "It is the ''Hideout of Deadly Sins'' in the northernmost part..." In fact, the most difficult place to retake was taken away. It must be able to completely grasp the movement of the denomination and pierce it. "Dirty orc baboons are annoying too." Yellow eyes with dark skin. Among the Orcs, those with heterogeneous appearance and power were the Orcs of Black Hill. In addition to their individual strength, they also have very high intelligence. For this reason, they were considered as one of the greatest forces on the 20th floor. "What should I do?" " " Sloth''s gaze alternated in the direction of the gray forest and the temple. The worries didn''t last long. The saint could be captured at any time as long as she was on the 20th floor, but if the temple was taken for more than 12 hours, the faithful would lose their faith. "Withdraw." Sloth bit her lip. Of course, he didn''t forget to stare into the forest with his scorching eyes. "You''re lucky. Little boy." Next time we meet again, I will peel you alive and walk you through the middle of the temple. All those who belong to the Goin Corporation. However, it was time to withdraw all of the Church of the Wraith. crumble. The bushes parted and someone appeared. "Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh?" A man who looked like he was on the verge of collapse. It was Faydon, who was the engineering leader of the Olympus Guild. "Hey, this can''t be... Why are the cult members on the other side of the forest..." Fayden''s face was stained with despair. It was because he wasn''t sure if he could properly deal with a common god in his current state of affairs. On the other hand. "Keuk... Kuk ha ha ha ha!" As if he couldn''t stand it, he burst into madness. Iza is undoubtedly the leader who led many humans this time. It''s an artillery commander! "Capture it!" Day 2 of entering the Gray Forest. While reinforcing the forest extensively, Jinhyuk closely watched the movements of the rest of the forces. For this 20th floor, the most important thing was how to destroy the top 3 factions. ''First, let''s deal with the things that were pushed back.'' I was so crazy I couldn''t even distribute the stats. To be precise, it was because of some of them sticking like leeches. ''Elise... It seems like he went to catch strange insects again.'' He seems to have a taste for hunting, and he is sweeping the entire area with Belus and Ophelia. Neither Teresa nor Frey seemed to be busy doing their own thing. Finally, I was able to have some alone time. "Whoa..." Jinhyuk let out a small sigh and activated the personal status window. T-tiring!

In order to go beyond the middle of the tower to the upper floors, it is necessary to gradually adjust the balance. Unlike mana, who invested steadily, he had relatively low stamina. next . Jinhyuk calmed his pounding heart. [Random skill box?] I never imagined that I would get this by catching Cray Veratis. ''The dismantling method was also extremely difficult, so I used to blow it up over and over again.'' The ''?'' rating is not for nothing. If it is not used properly, it can become garbage that is not even an F-class. Conversely, if the dismantling was successful until the end, it meant that the highest level of skill up to the SSS level could come out. "You''re lucky." Jinhyuk summoned the water spirit water. "Uh... uh, lord, master? Did you call me?" "I have a favor to ask you. But why are you so scared?" "I''m scared. I''m completely fine. Now, I''m full of confidence now!" "Are you stuttering?" "No did you stutter?" "I''m avoiding my eyes." "Is that so?" Something suddenly flashed through Jinhyuk''s mind as he tilted his head. Come to think of it. This guy when I''m eating strange monsters. They giggled and had fun. I remembered holding my belly button and rolling around. Pachi rule! A stream of pure white ice rose from Jinhyuk''s fingertips. "Hey Ik! Do you remember, Master?" "Well then, I don''t remember." Thanks, I remembered it very well. "I was wrong. Then I got really crazy... Never again! I''ll make sure this doesn''t happen again." Undine prayed that her hands became her feet. But, it''s already too late. "I think you will become the spirit of the old town, not the spirit of water." In the glacier sculpture, ''Annihilation Poison'' and ''Hyeolmagi'' were mixed. When I mixed the 10-year-old canary fish sauce that I had saved for feeding Elise, a pretty plausible poison was completed. "Wrong. Wrong. Wrong! I''ve committed a mortal sin." "If you have committed a mortal sin, you must die." only. "From now on until I tell you, make sure no one enters this tent. Then, I can forgive you." "Mo, I risk my life to protect it. Never. I won''t let anyone in, so trust only me. Master!" Undine ranted and claimed herself as a guard. Jin-hyeok, who had prevented any possible variables, looked at the front and back of the box made of iron. ''Looking at how it looks, it looks like it was made by the Dark Elves... .'' maybe this? A dark elf character engraved in the size of a little fingernail. no doubt Among the dark elves, ''Yingtalimun'' is known to be the best at making Artifacts. made by the tribe. ''This is something I know well.'' Jinhyuk quickly injected mana into the cube-shaped box. OK. shudder! The tempest went up. At the same time, the shape of the box also changed. [The F-class random box has been released.] [If you accept the reward, F-class skill will be given randomly.] ''It''s simple at first.'' mana circuit of powers of two. To start at level 0, you only need to decipher one type of circuit, but the difficulty increases as you go back. 1,2,4,8,16 . 512,1024,2048 . And the last is 12, which the Dark Elves consider sacred. That is, 4096 circuits must be destroyed at the same time. Jinhyuk concentrated his mind and started moving the mana circuit. shudder! shudder! [The E-class random box has been released.] [D-class random box is released... .] [Class C .] As Gyeokcheol rises, the rewards that can be obtained have also changed. Now you can see the skill that goes beyond B-grade and corresponds to A-grade. Again, again... . Sweat dripped down his forehead. Beyond the level of fierce battles, it feels like I''m hitting the limit. squeak! '' !'' It was just a little dangerous. Among the 1024 circuits, the mana distribution was misaligned in the top 3 circuits. ''It was close. After all, I won''t give it to you easily, is it?'' But, don''t panic. Because I achieved what I wanted even under conditions that were more difficult than this. I don''t know how much time has passed. When the sun that was floating in the middle of the sky went down. shudder! The last hurdle went up. "All right, all right!" Jinhyuk burst into cheers. The golden box finally revealed what was hidden inside. [3 random SSS skill cards are unlocked.] [Choose the skill you want.] There are three skill cards with colorful patterns on them. You must choose one of these. "Which one should I choose?" When I try to choose one of the things that seem unusual at first glance, I don''t readily get my hands on it. It would be nice to be able to check any kind of skill, but the premise of ''random'' did not allow a peek. Even ''Eyes of Gluttony'' could not check each skill card. ''Believing in the lucky stat of 10. The rest should depend on luck.'' It was when Jinhyuk''s troubles deepened. kwaaang! A commotion broke out outside the tent. "What. This water idiot! I''m dating my contractor, so why are you making a fuss!" Alice''s voice pierced the eardrums. "Oh, no! When I go in, the owner turns me into a dung water fairy...!" Undine tried to stop her, but she couldn''t stop Elise. "Block someone from coming in because you''re flirting with someone... huh?" Elise, who almost blew up the tent, looked at Jinhyuk and three golden cards in turn. and then. "What is that strange card?" Tilt his little head. "I was deliberately trying not to let anyone in because I was afraid of surprise. Well, that''s kind of like a reward. Do you think it''s going to look a little strange from the residents'' point of view?" "No, not that. Why is the card on the far right engraved with an engraving that is only given to bosses." "what?" Jinhyuk''s eyes widened. Obviously, the cards look the same. There was no engraving or foreign mana. That''s right. ''Is that only visible to Alice?'' CH 373 Black Hill tribe ''Tarachen'' (One) "Is it an imprint given only to the boss?" "Yeah. That''s it, eh..." Elise, who was speaking, suddenly blurted out the end of her speech. His mouth began to twitch as if something was clogged up. I''ve experienced something similar to this. ''Lake of the Moon.'' It is a symptom that appears when the system forcibly intervened in the past to resolve a sense of incongruity between players and residents. ''Is there something we shouldn''t know about each other?'' I don''t know why. sure thing is What Ellis said was not as vain. In fact, dark elves and vampires, there were many exchanges between the two races from the old days. He has a high intelligence and counts only his pride. It was also because the dark attribute series had something in common. ''indeed It''s pretty fun.'' Jinhyuk''s body trembled. My intuition instinctively shuddered. as soon as. You have to choose the third card. "Trust me, Elise." I stretched out my fingers to the farthest point. [You have selected a reward.] The letters covering the cards were shattered. please . Jinhyuk clenched his fists. And that moment. T-tiring! The long-awaited reward has appeared. [You have acquired the unique Holy Spear ''Phase 2''!] [Phase 2] Acquisition Difficulty: Unmeasurable Description: This ability is possessed by very few among the boss monsters living in the tower. In addition to body transformation, all stats and skill levels are increased by 50% for 3 minutes. This . Amazing, Great. Jinhyuk stiffened on the spot with his mouth wide open. It was because this ability was not obtained even when climbing the Tower of Trials in the past. "Elise." "Huh?" "great job." "Now well done? Me?" Elise''s rabbit eyes widened. It was a face that he still didn''t fully understand what he was doing. "Hehehe. You mean I did better than the stupid saint or the blue-haired idiot, right?" "Yeah. It makes me think that the cost of the food that goes into you is not worth it." Jinhyuk smiled with sincerity. I can''t stop walking around with my colleagues for this taste. The ''Black Hill Tribe'' created by the orcs. A ''red giant'' composed of a coalition of dark elves. The ''Great Wing'' is made up of the cult of ghosts and cursed corpses. These are the three largest forces on the 20th floor. And now, Jinhyuk was walking towards the Black Hill tribe. lululala. footsteps are light Humming a hum is a bonus. "Damn. What makes you feel so good? Please, do something called tension. This is the 20th floor." Was it not that Jinhyuk was happy? Cheon Yoosung shot it sharply. Well, going to the Named Orc clan alone, of course, I can''t help but feel anxious. In particular, from the perspective of Cheonyuseong, the 20th floor was in contact with the limits of the past. It means the floor of love and hate that cannot be overcome no matter how hard you try. ''That''s why I was so engrossed in training like crazy every time I took a break.'' It''s a little sad to see that I swung my sword and polished and polished the Basic Form whenever I had some free time... . Creeper horn. That guy is a guy who will stick a knife in his back if he''s even a little careless. Actually, the stronger I got, the more I felt my hands were itching because I wanted to try again. ''It''s time to break the flag once in a while.'' That is the reason why we decided to go alone this time. In order to provide thoroughly customized training. However, contrary to his inner feelings, he pretended not to know on the outside and took off the shichimi. "Look at the natural scenery and enjoy the sunshine while relaxing. Opportunities like this don''t come very often." "You sound like a natural landscape. It''s the afternoon when the orcs are going hunting, so it''s not strange to run into them right away!" "Well, that would be it." "I see... damn it! If you hadn''t wasted your time before, you could have come much faster. What the hell was you wasting so much time on?" Before departing here, Jinhyuk sent a spirit beast called ''Gnome'', saying that he had to contact someone on the lower floor of the tower. It took quite some time to talk to each other. Eventually, the orcs came into their realm during the time when they were most active. For that reason, Cheon Yoo-sung is building a pedestal around his neck. "Our Yoosung also has a very good voice. We can be a singer later. The genre is rock." "Uh-huh. If someone talks to you, you should be fine...!" But right then. "...!" crumble. Jinhyuk and Cheon Yoosung reacted at the same time. A small sound that comes through the bushes. no doubt There is someone around. "... did you feel it?" "Damn it. Anyway, I''ve never had a good time with you guys. How do you pick only the worst and come back?" It was difficult to estimate the exact number because of the hazy mana mixed in, but I could intuit that this area was completely surrounded. Sreung. Two swords were drawn like lightning. OK. "Crurr..." "Human. You''re pretty quick." "I completely erased the gicheok, how did you notice it?" Orcs with dark skin appeared one by one. Strong, muscular, tusks protruding, bright yellow eyes. Armed with a sharp glaive and shield, it was different from ordinary Orcs. Even in size, it was three times larger than a normal orc. ''These guys are the strongest among the orcs in the tower.'' He has a lot of numbers, knows no fear, and has excellent fighting skills. so that. I found this place first. The corner of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. "Chwiik. Are you laughing? In this situation?" "You''re a human with a big liver. Do you think we''re funny because we''ve taken over the Gray Forest?" "Everyone, be quiet. I''ll take care of it." The one who appeared to be the head of the orcs spoke to me. at the same time. A weapon made in the form of a spear by winding a stick around the glaive was stretched forward. "Hey. Did you know that we ate the forest? I thought I was just ignorant of hitting and hitting. You''re smarter than I thought." "Don''t underestimate the intelligence of the Orcs. The investigation into the power of the Goin Corporation has already been completed. It is true that they are quite strong... but it was a mistake to enter our territory as two people." Whoops. Shh. The orcs prepared to attack in unison. However. Jinhyuk just shrugged his shoulders, still not moving on the spot. "If you attack us now, you''ll regret it... because I brought you a pretty good story." "It''s a story I don''t even need to hear. If it''s a suggestion from another race, it''s usually our rule to respond by hitting the head of a lion. Especially if it''s the most unbelievable human race." "It''s a pity. The ''Hideout of Deadly Sin'' you got this time. I was going to tell you how to protect it. Do you know? There, if you don''t secure a proper supply route, you won''t be able to protect it for even a day." at that word. Standing tall. The glaive, which seemed to be stabbed at any moment, stopped. "How do you know we attacked there?" "Well, how would you have known?" Jinhyuk smiled even more deeply. "Ah! If you don''t answer me here, I''ll skin you and pluck your nails. I hope you don''t use the same clichs. It''s better to have a constructive conversation for the benefit of each other than such frivolous threats." "...what do you want?" "Inform the chieftain. I''ll talk to him directly." "Keuk...Kuhahaha! This has completely turned around. You want to meet our chief?" The spear orc burst into laughter. "Anyway, you can''t have an important conversation with the guy below, can you?" "Heh heh. He''s definitely not an ordinary human. Yeah. The chief must find it quite fun." The window goes down a bit. Although he did not relieve his vigilance, the hostility had subsided. "Okay. Do it. But you''ll regret it if you talk about it." "Chwiik. Baktur. Taking the author to the chieftain. Are you serious?" "Even so, it''s too dangerous." The remaining orcs around them murmured. "I take the responsibility. If there is a way to protect the temple as he said, it wouldn''t be as bad as it is. If it''s a lie, I''ll just cut it down as it is." Neither side will do any harm. The final decision is left to the chieftain. The Black Hill clan''s stronghold is literally built on huge obsidian. ''It''s always spectacular to see here.'' Jinhyuk let out a small exclamation. Numerous tents were visible along the high hill that seemed to reach the sky. And at the heart of it... . " " A muscular orc that was about to explode was sitting there. Tarachen. It is a legendary monster that has led the Black Hill tribe for 9 years and drew many myths. In fact, in the past, Cheonyuseong also failed to break through the 20th floor after losing the battle with this orc. " " Cheon Yu-seong broke his molar and bit it. ''It seems to be the first time I''ve seen such a reaction other than me.'' The pain of bitter defeat. This time, the desire to go beyond that. I felt two emotions blended together. "Baktur. Are they these?" "Yes. Chief. As I said through the crow. He said he wanted to talk only with the chieftain." "Hmm..." Tarachen put the glaive on the floor. pooh. A large glaive up to 2 meters deep dug deep into the soil. "Human. Do you know who I am?" "About... the strongest orc, right? Here." Tarachen''s lips twitched at the appearance of Jinhyuk, who did not hesitate at all. "Indeed, as Baktur said, he is a human who just came out of the boat. With so many subordinates, he was so relaxed." There were more than a dozen of the bodyguards that were spewing out terrifying lives. Needless to say, the troops waiting behind him. However. You can be so proud of yourself by crawling on these limbs alone... . "Thanks for the compliment. I hear a lot of people say I''m not afraid. So. Have you thought of having a conversation?" "no." Tarachen shook her head. "These are people who only talk smoothly. I''ve met countless times so far. You can tell just how good a plan is by looking at the level of the person who brought it." Tarachen flicked his finger at the warriors right next to him. "Prove it with your skills rather than words. That''s the first condition for having a conversation with me." Orcs have always revered power. Only the strong could command. Because I was able to survive again. "Koooooooh!" "Aww!" kuung! bang! Two orcs of the SS rushed at the same time. "Just stop the first attack in front. I''ll finish it at once." "Sheesh! I see." Jinhyeok and Cheon Yuseong divided their positions and tried to wage a joint battle. Exactly. "Hey... you rotten son of a bitch!" I just pretended I was going to do that and threw it all away to Cheon Yoo-seong. "Sorry, only deal with the little ones. Our swordsman. You know? Hyung always believes in you." Kaka Kaka Kang! Cheon Yuseong and the two members of the SS collided. Jinhyuk, who dug inward using the space between them, headed towards Tarachen at once. fault. If you mess around with it, you''ll end up playing around with the other person''s pranks. "Look, you seem to like testing quite a bit." Jinhyuk lifted the barnard high. A soft blue light spread along the sword. "Huh. What the hell are you going to do with a dagger like a toothpick..." It was Tarachen, who didn''t even think about choosing a glaive. That idea didn''t last very long. " Hmm!?" kwaaang! Glaive and Barnard, drawn like lightning, collided head-on. A dazzling firework exploded, pushing Tarachen''s body back a few meters. "I''m quite fond of it, too. I mean playing with guys I think are strong." kukuku kuk kook! Jinhyuk began to liberate mana in earnest. CH 374 Black Hill tribe ''Tarachen'' (2) damn! The shock wave created a long sword image on the ground. It''s a sword attack that can''t help but be said to be an inexorable attack. When the match did not end, Tarachen swung his glaive wildly. kwaang! bang! A shock that shook the heavens followed. But. It was Tarachen''s side who stumbled. "Wow!" As the center of gravity was broken, the loopholes increased more and more. How... . How could such a small dagger be capable of such absurd destructive power? He swung the gigantic glaive with all his might, but his opponent took the blow with ease. "It''s strong, it''s strong. Indeed, it deserves to be called the strongest among Orcs." Jinhyuk blew a small whistle. "How dare you, in front of whom are you relaxing!" Tarachen raised the glaive high. Moment, huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Green mana condensed into a whirlwind. [Tarachen activates his unique ability ''Spirit Succession''!] A unique ability to summon the souls of the Orc race. That''s why Tarachhen can be overwhelmingly superior to other orcs. kukuku kuk kook! Translucent energy rose along the Black Hill, and soon began to be absorbed into Tarachen''s body. The mana that comes out of the body has also changed. [Copy condition: If you become an orc and become Tarachen''s successor, you can copy your opponent''s unique abilities.] Naturally, you can''t change races just to get one of those abilities. The purpose of coming here in the first place was not to kill Tarachen or to copy his abilities. ''You just have to fight enough to form an alliance.'' come. Jinhyuk looked at the flying glaive aiming for the upper right corner. It could be avoided enough, but in order to get his approval... . [The unique ability ''Tombgrave''s Right Arm'' is activated!] The shape of the right arm holding the Barnard changed. kwaaang! A roar that seemed to split the sky. Two weapons collided at one point. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Jinhyuk and Tarachen''s feet dug into the ground. Mud dust caused by the shock wave. The entire hand holding the weapon trembled violently, demonstrating just how powerful the collision had just been. '' strong.'' Tarachen shut her mouth firmly. Although he was not vigilant, the reality that he could not even make a whistle came to him coldly. The rest of the Orcs, who were laughing and giggled around, lost their laughter. I had no choice but to do so. The battle that is unfolding right before their eyes is far beyond their imagination. A fighting style that purely worships power, rather than avoiding it. Aren''t you fighting head-to-head against Tarachen, who has even unlocked her unique abilities? "Chwiik! What are people doing?" "To endure the glaive of the chieftain who did all his best. Is he stronger than the captain of the bodyguard?" "The human who came with me is also a monster. I defeated two of the bodyguards by myself." The gossip grew louder. great. A self-introduction would suffice. Jinhyuk retrieved mana from Barnard. "What are you doing all of a sudden? The fight isn''t over yet." "It is, but if we keep fighting, what will be left? Have you recognized each other''s abilities enough?" He created a cause for self-esteem and left room for conversation. If we go further from here, it will go beyond determining the outcome and become a life-or-death event. Now is the perfect time to end it. However. "You humans are always like that. They try to negotiate in moderation by convincing others with appropriate words." Tarachen''s vicious momentum did not diminish in the slightest. On the contrary, it became sharper as if he had touched his self-esteem. "I''m not trying to compromise... I''m trying to prevent unnecessary fights." "More than aiming a sword, you must see blood. That is our tribe''s belief." It was funny to attach the word honor to monsters, but Orcs with pride were different from ordinary monsters. Especially the Black Hill tribe, which can be said to be their apex. ''After all, it''s poison to look at you clumsily, isn''t it?'' Jinhyuk made his taste buds bitter. "Koooooooh!" With Tarachen''s pupils stained red. hit the ground kwaang! Jinhyuk quickly flew to the left to avoid the attack. Tarachen followed immediately, but Jinhyuk increased his speed and widened the distance even more. "Can I help you? It looks pretty tough, doesn''t it?" Cheon Yu-seong, who finished the fight first, shuddered. Anyway, if that guy did a little bit well, his nose rises to the sky. "Isn''t this the time for you to worry about others? Those orcs. They don''t roll their tails just because they subdue one or two." as if to prove it. thud! fault! A larger number of the SS were attached to Cheonyuseong. If the two don''t, ten. If that doesn''t work, it''s like the whole bodyguard will stick together. "Damn it!" "It''s because you''re quietly watching." ttttttttttttttttttttttttttt I''m just pretending I''m free and holding on to shit, aren''t I getting angry? kwaaang! Soon after, the whole hill began to fill with the sound of metal clashing. In order to have a conversation with the orcs, you must not kill them recklessly. But if you just look at it, it''s annoying to attack like a swarm of bees. "Keep! Do we have to keep fighting like this! If we keep fighting attrition, there is no answer!" Cheon Yoo-seong put a bloodline around his neck. Thanks to the addition of Baktur, who wields a long spear, the flickering swordsman literally looked like a fire had fallen on his feet. Of course, I have no intention of fighting back and forth until my mana and stamina are all exhausted. Because I had already anticipated that this would happen. A conversion card that can turn the situation around has also been prepared. only. "I''m sorry. I can''t be sharp right now. Just hold on as much as you can. I''m soft as something comes to mind." I just want to ride the shit line of the heavenly planet that is climbing all the way these days. "Really?" "Yeah. If the siege is a little thinner, we''ll have something to do with it." Jinhyuk pretended not to know and avoided his gaze. In the end, Cheon Yu-seong had no choice but to weep and wait to eat mustard. from the inside out. With dozens of enemies. How much time has passed like that? "Heh heh... heh heh heh heh heh..." Cheon Yuseong staggered as if it was about to collapse. My whole body is drenched in sweat and my breathing is rapid. I have already lost consciousness several times and repeated it back and forth. "Bill... omg. Now... I can''t lift a hand anymore..." right then tuk. Something touched Cheon Yu-seong''s back. Jinhyeok, who had been fighting a blood battle with Tarachen, had reached the place where Cheonyuseong was all of a sudden. "Why are you struggling already?" "...you mean to call it a horse...?" "Hmm. The swordsmanship of the world is so inconsequential. When we first met, he was like an orc, and he said that even a single truck could destroy it." "You bastard, you bastard. Even if I die here, I will definitely take you as a companion." Cheon Yu-seong''s face contorted violently. If you tease me any more, that knife might point this way. I''ve already been rolling as much as I want to, and I''ve trampled on my pride. ''Now let''s start slowly.'' The stage is well equipped. Jinhyuk, who made that decision, took out a new item from the subspace. [''The String of Beliefs'' is activated!] The power that connects dimension to dimension. A huge gate appeared in front of everyone with a huge mana storm. honor. It is an absolute value that Orcs cannot live and die. They have lived their entire lives for the honor and revival of their clan, and they are the ones who are willing to risk their lives to protect what they believe in. For that reason, it was natural that the Orcs did not trust humans. This is because it was a characteristic of humans to change their values at any time for their own benefit. However. What if those who have the same beliefs as the orcs are going out for that human? What will be your reaction then? This is the answer to the result. kuung! A race with blue skin appeared beyond the gate. A tusk longer than an orc. Although the floor is much lower, that doesn''t mean it''s inferior. "...I heard a story through a gnome. You need our help?" Frostblade tribe. And the chieftain who leads them is ''Caracal''. Two tusk races met on Black Hill. "...!?" Tarachen, who was running like crazy, stopped moving for the first time. "...that flag?" "How did they get here?" The bodyguards who were pressing Cheonyuseong also looked at the Frostblade tribe with their mouths wide open. A void on the battlefield that was created in an instant. The confrontation continued like an eternity. "Caracal..." Tarachen slowly opened her mouth. Caracal nodded immediately. "Tarachen Chief, it''s been a while. Is this the first time we''ve seen each other since the Tribal War?" "Why are you on the side of humans?" Caracal brought up the old story, but Tarachen had no intention of sharing the frivolous past. Why is the great hero of the proud troll tribe with humans? It was just incomprehensible. "Did you get threatened? Or was the tribe held hostage?" otherwise it doesn''t make sense He must have done something filthy like human beings. But in the next words... . "You have been blessed." Tarachen was once again plunged into chaos. "...Grace? To a human being?" "Yes. I can''t pay it back even if I pay for it for the rest of my life. I owe that kind of debt." These words are sincere. Caracal was willing to sacrifice himself for Jinhyuk. He gave freedom to the entire clan. Because he ended the life of a slave and kept the pride he had longed for. And if. "If you want to harm our benefactor, you will have to go beyond our entire tribe." "Koooooooh!" "Oh oh oh oh!" The warriors of the Frostblade clan held their spears and shields high. Although the individual strength and the number of members of the tribe were far inferior, they were all prepared for their immediate death. jittery. The morale that seemed to pierce the sky was also transmitted to Tarachen. "...it doesn''t seem like a lie at all." It''s not about winning or losing a fight. If only Caracal and the Frostblade clan believed so strongly... . I thought that maybe it might be different from the trash I used to know. "Guide those humans and Chief Caracal into my tent. The fight is over." pooh. Tarachen drove the glaive to the ground. This opened the way for the conversation. This is the beginning of the discussion that will determine the success or failure of the attack on the 20th floor. "Uh-huh. It seems to have worked just fine. I''m glad Yoosung, right?" "Ughh! You! Did you deliberately make me suffer with such a method! If I had summoned the Frostblade clan right away, I would have almost died!" "Hey. I hope it goes well. You must be finished and stick to the little things." "What, obsession? A trivial thing? That''s what...!" "Ah! They tell us to come quickly. Excuse me first." Jinhyeok ran towards Tarachen''s tent at a staggering pace. CH 375 Black Hill tribe ''Tarachen'' (3) A tent made from skinned monsters. A meeting that will determine the fate of the various races began within it. "...So the way to protect the temple is that we should form an alliance and make a preemptive attack?" "Yeah, there''s a saying that the best defense is an attack." Jinhyuk smiled brightly as if asking why he was asking something that was obvious. At that innocent smile, Tarachen burst into laughter. "Hahahaha! This is completely insane. Are you saying that we want to break the balance that has been tight for decades on our side?" "That''s right. Don''t you ever think that if it didn''t end in the first place for decades, the way you''ve been doing it would be wrong?" They even start an all-out war to keep each other in check. However, it is not possible to make an alliance and wipe out one side. In the past, even in the Three Kingdoms period, the reason why Wi, Chok, and Oh, which had a huge difference in the balance of power, did not settle down for so long was because all the sharp elements were intertwined. ''Besides, the Great Wings with the Church of Wraiths are not even interested in becoming the greatest force.'' so that. To reverse this tangled junction like a thread. A slightly more radical method is needed. That''s right, using a variable called player. "...hmm." Are you brave? Are you ignorant? Or did the liver come out of the stomach? Tarachen could not fathom Jinhyuk''s feelings at all. What is certain is that there is no way the person in front of you is just talking nonsense. The Frostblade Chieftain, Caracal, has such deep trust. "I''m not saying that it''s just a charge. Do you have a secret plan in mind?" Then, as if Jinhyuk was waiting. I took out one item. "Games without odds are not my taste." Of course, I had at least one conversion card ready. Whoops! A torch glowing blue. This is an item that can pierce the loopholes of all forces. "that ." An earthquake struck Tarachen''s pupil. I''ve heard It exists on the 20th floor, but it has only been passed down through word of mouth. About things I''ve never seen in person. That unique mana, no doubt. However . How the hell did a player who just entered the floor get a torch that no one had been looking for for decades? ''The more you look, the more difficult you are to believe.'' Tarachen clicked inwardly. At this point, it is almost impossible to believe that it is absurd. Your opponent is really... It might bring an end to the long-standing stalemate. "Certainly, it''s not bad. It''s not a gamble at all." The worries didn''t last long. If you bring such an attractive bait, you have no choice but to catch it no matter the outcome. In addition to the strong support of the Frostblade tribe, Cheon Yoo-seong, who came with Jin-hyuk, was also stronger than I could have imagined. "Can I take it as a sign of consent?" "Yes. I will be with you. At this point, we will completely put the 20th floor into our hands." "Okay. Then, can I ask you one more thing personally?" "A request?" "As you can see, I have a lot of work to do, so I don''t have enough hands." "Tell me. If you can hear me, I''ll let you listen." "There''s a hidden ruin on the 19th floor. I''ll tell you where it is and how to get in, so you just need to find a piece of paper in it." A part of the Book of the Prophet written by the goddess Frigg is hidden inside the ruins. Even if the content is all in your head. Substantial evidence will be needed. After that, considering the relationship with the Nordic divinity, all the Books of the Prophet must be kept in this hand. ''Because there''s no way Olympus will destroy that snarky spirit Odin.'' Even if it seems that Ragnarok is being pushed unilaterally in the war that has just begun. You''ll be able to escape while preserving your core power somehow. Because Heimdall with its wide mobile was superior to Hermes of Olympus in many respects. "...I see. As a token of the alliance, I can give you that much." Tarachen nodded. As a result, a coalition between the Goin Corporation and the Black Hill tribe was formed. A place lined with red oxidized iron and terrible-looking torture weapons. The place where the headquarters of the cult of ghosts was located literally seemed to have transferred hell. "Aww!" "aaah!" In the deepest part of the church, which was dotted with screams of all kinds of monsters and residents, the leader of the cult of ghosts, ''Sloth'', was located. To be precise, I was just about to end the torture that had been going on for a long time. " Yes. Indeed, that was a plan. Talking about the characteristics of a saint was also helpful. It was a very informative story." "Shut up... well, yes. I''ve told you everything I know, so please stop... please stop." Fayden begged for her life. His appearance as a dignified engineering commander was nowhere to be found. Only the figure of a prisoner whose body and mind was exhausted by the harsh torture remains. "You mean there''s nothing more to say?" "All I know is I said it all." "Is that so? It was a lot of hard work to open my mouth." Sloth gripped the hammer and nail, dripping blood. Chunkyung! Chunkyung! Chunkyung! "Hey Iik! Oh, no. No, no, no, no...!" Fayden twisted her whole body. However, no matter how hard I tried, nothing changed. "Don''t worry too much. Soon you will be able to live as a member of the Seven Deadly Sins again." His body is quite usable, and once the operation is over, he will become a very useful soldier. A Blood Knight, the higher being of the Death Knight, or capable of demonstrating power beyond that. But right then. kwaang! An undead monster with two heads came in after kicking the iron gate. "I must have told you not to disturb me during the operation?" "I''m sorry. But, my lord! Enemies have appeared outside the temple." "what?" Sloth''s brow furrowed. you''re an enemy How dare you, what kind of crazy bastards have come to the heart of the cult? "From the Black Hill tribe Tarachen has come this far with an army!" Tarachen. The leader of a huge force that divides the 20th floor, and is a warrior with a very warlike character. "You stupid orc can''t even understand the subject. To think that you and I are equal just because the floor is the same." The Seven Deadly Sins are the inhabitants of the upper classes. It is not a position that can be surpassed by boss monsters in the middle layer. It''s amazing to be locked up here because of Guntafer''s orders. I can''t help but get annoyed as the orcs who left me alone because they don''t want to do anything worthless are arguing. ''I just want to rest.'' without doing anything. I just wanted to lay down and live forever. That was my only wish. That was the only purpose of life. However, due to the ''submission contract'' with Guntafer, that dream had to be put on hold for a while. ''Okay. are you okay. If this task is completed well, I will finally be able to make that dream come true.'' not long now It is only now that they abuse their whole body while wearing a false mask. "How would you like to respond?" "Are you telling me all of those things? If the enemy comes, you should just wipe them out right away!" "Bah, I''ll call the believers right away." The undead monster that was reporting on the path of indolence immediately lowered its head. " there''s a lot of shit to do. I''ll have to take a little rest after the surgery. If I bring some magic crystals from my private lab..." Sloth seemed annoyed and turned to look for the tools needed to remodel Fayden. kukukuku! Soon, as the vicious energy dissipated, a brief peace came to the torture chamber. "Ew ... eueueu ... also, I should run away. Come quick. Loosen from the handcuffs ..." Fayden, who had been resurrected from the dead, trembled thinly. You have to use whatever gap you have, even for a moment, to get out of this hell no matter what you do. Rumble! He moved the chain with his trembling hands and feet. "Hey. How have you been living here?" It was then that an unfamiliar voice intervened. Jinhyuk, who was smiling brightly, was squatting in front of Faiden. "You you!" "Shhh. Don''t make your voice louder. But what if that terrifying headmaster comes back?" "Is that the bastard that this guy said he wanted to leave all his colleagues and live alone?" "That''s right. If it had endured to the end, a lot more people would have been able to live." Cheon Yoo-sung and Teresa also added one word each. "Well, that''s..." The horse becomes a dagger and pierces the heart. However, the instinct to live was more important than shame or guilt. "First get me out of here let me go. Then I''ll go to jail, be punished, or whatever " "Hmm. Please save me...la." Jinhyuk scratched his chin. "Hurry up...! There''s not much time before he comes." "I''m sorry, but that can''t be done." "Yes?" "If you were just regular trash, you would have given it a chance to be recycled." However, I learned that food waste is not even recycled. Just burning it with fire is the answer. The good news, though, is that it can do a great job as a bait. Jinhyuk concentrated mana on his fingertips. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Drops of blood the size of a go were fiercely drawn in a clockwise direction. "What, what is this?" "It''s called bokbunja. It''s good for the body. It''s good." The smile on Jinhyuk''s lips grew even deeper. The trademark of Amulam, the leader of the Decasans. ''Blood width''. ''Secret'' Drops of blood wrapped in an effective barrier flew towards Faiden''s body. "Hey Iik! What, what is this? What the hell have you done to my body!" "It''s kind of like a time bomb. It''s meant to be triggered immediately if we say we''re here or show hostile behavior." You decide when you die. So, if you want to survive even one second longer, it would be better to match the rhythm. "Let''s move slowly." "Yeah. If you want to use the time that Tarachen has earned, you have to hurry." "If you go out the passage on the left, there is a place that leads right away." The three stood up. There was no sign of sympathy in that look. "I''m sorry. I''m sorry! So please. Jebaaal!" Only Faiden''s scream echoed through the empty space. Scratch! "Big... huh?" A long vein of blood gushed out of one fanatic''s neck with a single cut. A swordsmanship where the word "clean" comes out of nowhere. Cheon Yoo-seong wiped the blood off the blade. "What did we say we were looking for?" "It''s the Holy Grail of the Antichrist. You just need to find something that looks like a crumpled red wine glass. I told you about it an hour ago, but did you forget it?" " " Sreung! The blade shone with anticipation. "Cancer! You might forget it. Our swordsmanship is a bit busy, but will you remember all of them? But I told you again now, so you shouldn''t forget this this time. Okay?" Jinhyuk nodded hastily. But right then. "Jinhyuk-san! Look, look at that!" Teresa, who was looking intently at one side of the room, shouted. CH 376 floor war (1) The Holy Grail of the Antichrist. It was a medium that allowed an alter ego of ''Guntafer'' to come to the 20th floor, and it was also a holy relic that supported the spiritual aspect of the denomination as a symbolic meaning. ''After all, I kept it in this room.'' The corner of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. No matter how much he made a contract of submission with Guntafer, sloth is sloth. The characteristic laziness that permeates to the bone has nowhere to go. ''Even if you say you''re doing a play with a lie, it''s like a place to store things. The basic behavior pattern is that it is easy to predict.'' Because of that, he already knew that the Holy Grail was in this room. Only one. If there''s a problem . As it is a sacred relic that the denomination cherishes, the point is that it is protecting itself with a vicious poison. "Aww." Teresa, who was about to reach for the holy relic, was startled and stepped back. I covered my whole body with ''Blessing of the Stars'', but to no avail. Because the vicious poison was merciless to those who did not receive Guntafer''s Blessing. "It''s like a new grape standing over the wall. If Teresa doesn''t get it, I''m out of luck too." Cheon Yoosung clicked his tongue. And I forgot to add a word. "Unless someone has a sharp way." "Big! Big! Is it my turn?" Jinhyuk broke his joints and stepped forward. [Currently, the curse ''Demon World''s Winter Rain'' is hanging on the holy relic ''The Holy Grail of Antichrist''.] In terms of barrier, it is a curse equivalent to 11 stars. Of course, Teresa and Cheon Yoosung couldn''t help but even dare. However. ''It''s easy if you know how to break the law.'' Usually, the curse trait tries to respond with divine power or healing. It''s a matter of course. Because the property of the poles always guarantees the ultimate effect. ''But that''s the biggest mistake we usually make.'' Jinhyeok pulled mana again. There are three places where a particularly strong poison is condensed. And the trait that the Holy Grail was originally made of wood by a carpenter. If you have two clues, you can come up with the right answer. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo The ''Primal Flame'' and ''Annihilation Poison'' were activated at the same time. It heats the wood that forms the Holy Grail, creating cracks and injecting a new kind of poison to make the poison go wild even more. Foul! Pachichi... Chick! "Kee-e-e-e!" From the Holy Grail of the Antichrist, a scream like the roar of a beast resounded. And at that very moment. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwak! The poison that had wrapped around the Holy Grail dissipated in an instant. [All poisons have been purified!] great. One of the purposes of coming here has been accomplished. Outside, Tarachen and the Black Hill clan must be pulling the time. Now there is only one more task left to complete. kwaaang! Aww! "Kill them all! God wants the inferior race to die!" "Put away stupid humans at this opportunity. This land belongs to our orcs!" With a roar, numerous fanatics and orcs were entangled in one place. An unpredictable bloody battle. The battle, which had already lasted several hours, was approaching its climax. The fanatics who rushed in regardless of the enemy were overwhelming in terms of numbers, but the orcs who faced them used their superior fighting power as a weapon. In particular, in the case of Tarachen, he was boasting a tremendous dance that pushed him even if he had to fight with the five Death Knights. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Death Knight''s body was torn to pieces by the sword wind that swept the earth and disappeared. "A shame like this to an orc..." The commander in charge of the church''s troops, ''Pelamon'', bit his molars. Wires that keep pushing. He is angry, but he is not young at his current level. At least unless the headmaster personally comes... . That was when I was thinking about it. "Stupid things!" An unimaginable gray cloud rose from the center of the temple. Whoops! not flames Because the skin of the target it touched was not burned. Instead, the power to slow the time of the object it came into contact with was truly hopeless. "Uh... uh... huh?" "Ch... this profit!?" slow movement. A hand wielding a glaive. The sense of reacting to the enemy''s attack. Everything is different from before. The time increased by almost three times. Whoops! Whoops! Puppupuck! The slow movement was fatal. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" "Koooooooh!" The orcs began to collapse in an instant. Orcs within a 10m radius of sloth were dominated all the time. They had to lose their lives helplessly by the fanatics. "Such an incredible ability..." "Chwi, Chwiik. A monster." The orcs of the SS breathed in the wind. Since they had never faced an all-out war with the Church of the Specter, they did not know how much power their leader, Sloth, had. No, to be precise... . Even if the opponent is strong, I thought that if it was Tarachen, I could defeat it. But, who can predict Tarachen''s victory by looking at the scene unfolding before his eyes? The heterogeneous ability that destroyed common sense was enough to demoralize the proud Orcs. "Those who are like garbage... they don''t even know the subject. I''ll make you regret coming to our land." Sloth grabbed the staff. [The Seven Deadly Sins ''Sloth'' activates the unique ability ''Negligence Step''!] in a distorted space. By simply walking forward, you can attack as well as the strongest defense. "Die... uh uh... laaaaa!" The spear wielded by the orc warrior of the SS gradually slowed down. "You idiot." He injected mana into his wand, as if he was bothering him. Paz... ! The window that flew in became dust and disappeared. In addition, due to the second effect of ''negligence'', ''contagion'', the body of the orc that attacked began to turn into stone. huh... do enemy. It took less than 3 seconds for a single SS Orc to turn into a stone statue. In this way, no matter how many numbers stick together, it is meaningless. finally. "Everyone, get out of the way. I''ll come out." Tarachen moved. "Chwiik! Chief! No! It''s dangerous to fight such a monster!" "If the chieftain is wrong, our entire tribe is in danger. We will take care of this, so get out of here in the meantime." The orcs dissuaded Tarachen. It was more painful to lose Tarachen, the center of the tribe, than to die here thousands of orcs. "We can''t retreat from here. If we give up like this, we''ll never be able to defeat them!" I felt the fear seeping into my bones. If this trauma is not overcome, it will become a moth that eats the brains of the Black Hill tribe forever. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Green energy surged along the glaive. Break through that cursed energy. Insert the blade into the heart. kwaang! With that thought alone, Tarachen flew away. [Tarachen activates Lv22 ''Liberated One''!] A skill that allows you to have immunity to all status ailments. Tarachen defied the authority of indolence, leaping high into the air. "Koooooooh!" from above... . Under! The glaive fell vertically down. power too. The speed is good enough. But. Only, that''s it. "Hey. But he''s the boss. It''s worth it. A little better than the others." Glaive stopped in mid-air and trembled. "Ugh... uh... ah ah ah ah ah!" "No matter how hard you try, you won''t be able to move. And that''s it. Cutting off an enemy''s head.... That''s exactly what you do." Sloth''s fingers crossed the air. No, I was trying to cross it. "If you''re thinking of hitting our friend in the head, you''d better stop." A new voice interrupted the battlefield filled with chaos. At the entrance to the temple. Jinhyuk smiled brightly. "you ." Sloth''s eyes narrowed. "My name is Jinhyuk Kang. I wanted to say hello a little earlier, but there are so many things to do." "Jinhyuk Kang . Yes. You are that guy." Sloth''s attention shifted from Tarachen to Jinhyuk. "Do you know me?" "Anyway, how can I not know who he is grinding his teeth. Besides, he stole the saints he had obtained, so all the members of the denomination know about you." In a word, it means celebrity. "It''s an honor. It''s an honor to become an idol of fanatics. Aren''t you? You''re famous for me." "I must have misunderstood Doli, not idol." "Yooseong-san... No matter how much you say it with your deepest feelings on your face..." Cheon Yoo-sung and Teresa also spit out one word at a time. "Hmm. Yeah. You brought a few weak comrades with you. So. What are you going to do with just three people? Don''t you think you can win if you fight me?" "I don''t intend to go head-to-head with you. Your abilities are quite annoying." The ''walk of negligence'' is a unique ability with no flaws in itself. It wasn''t that there was no way to destroy it, but at least in the temple where the cult of the ghost was, he boasted of invincibility. okay. It''s the strongest ability. Only one. Unless there is a way to seal that ability in the first place. Jinhyuk pulled out a familiar object from his pocket. "Do you know if you know this? I liked it so much that I picked it up." The Holy Grail of the Antichrist. The most important relic that supports the Church of the Specter has appeared in front of us. " !!!" Sloth was so startled that he almost bit his tongue. The sight unfolding in front of my eyes was shocking to the extent that all the fatigue and annoyance that had been stuck to the bones disappeared. When I came out of the temple, I hoped it was. It must have been all about getting the Holy Grail. "Answer me! How, how... did you know that there are relics of our denomination here!" No matter how much I think about it, I can''t understand How did a player find out information that only believers know? In addition, it was hard to believe that he was holding the Holy Grail, protected by Guntafer''s poison, in his hand. ''As a saint, it is impossible to even dare.'' Even if the archangels belonging to ''Eden'' moved directly. It was an area that was impossible with simple divine power alone. "I know there are a lot of questions, but isn''t that what''s important right now?" Jinhyuk gently lifted the Holy Grail to the height of his head. and. Tuk! The Holy Grail began to fall free from the air. "Oh, no!" Fortunately, the cries of laziness did not last long. Just before hitting the floor, Jinhyuk had safely received the Holy Grail using glacier modeling. "Hey. This is a little heavier than it looks." "Heh. Heh heh. Heh...." "Gyo, Gyoju, our holy things...!" "How dare an evil cultist. What do you mean by this!" "Stop, stop!" "Aaaaah! Demon God!" The fanatics who were eager to fight the orcs were crying. Seeing you shed tears and runny noses and shake your hands and feet, for some reason, it feels like your peripheral nerves are burning. ''It''s thrilling.'' After all, it''s the most exciting thing when you trample on the things that other people value the most. Jinhyuk hummed and put his finger in the ring of the Holy Grail and turned it round and round. "Hey, you angel! The holy relics are old and have low durability. If you turn them around like that...!" fast. One of the red ornaments embedded in the Holy Grail could not withstand the shock and was smashed. "Oh sorry." I didn''t intend to do this until now, but it ended up being a bit messed up. CH 377 floor war (2) A little farther away, Tarachen and the orcs of the Black Hill tribe stared blankly at Jinhyuk''s actions. ''Is this the way we said we would hit the back of the opponent if we had time?'' He didn''t even tell me the details of the operation, but he said he would prepare a secret plan that could be overturned at once even if the war situation became unfavorable. ''He''s really scary.'' Tarachen swallowed dry saliva. When I first proposed this war, I wasn''t sure. Seeing what Jinhyeok was doing right in front of his eyes, his doubts quickly dissipated. that''s not human Something covered in human skin. And that devil-like monster was repeating lifting and dropping the holy relics of one denomination even at this moment. "I''m really sorry. This is 100% my mistake. Can I just look at it once?" "What kind of bullshit is a guy who has already committed a rip-and-death crime! Knowing how important it is to us...!" "Huh? Was it such a serious mistake to break one of the ornaments? Even if I said sorry, I couldn''t accept it?" "Are you calling that a horse?" Sloth put a belt around his neck. I can assure you, I have never shown my feelings more intensely than I do now since I took on indolence among the seven deadly sins. Even if you didn''t sign a contract with Guntafer, you could feel it. "Yeah? There''s no point in apologizing? Then, we can burn it down." Jinhyuk brought the ''Primal Flame'' to the front of the Holy Grail. Whoops! The fiercely burning flame seemed to devour the Holy Grail at any moment. "Wait, wait! Calm down!" "The demon god''s god...!" "You must stop the author right now!" Fanatics flocked around Jinhyuk Ururu. But, it''s already too late. Because the blazed flame has already reached the Holy Grail. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! "Kee-e-e-e!" As if to express the pain of burning in fire. A terrible scream echoed from the Holy Grail. [''The Holy Grail of Antichrist'' is being undermined!] [The stats of all residents belonging to the ''Church of Ghosts'' are reduced by 10%!] [The demon world''s divinity ''Guntafer'' is very angry.] [The favorability decreases from the dark-type divinities.] Red status windows appear in succession. The blazing Holy Grail was radiating more dazzling light than ever. "Everyone, now! Turn off the lights!" It didn''t take long for the entire congregation to panic. Sloth is also embarrassed by the sudden change. Because of this, the ''step of neglect'' that is close to invincibility Also, its power was greatly weakened. Right now! "Yoosung!" "Yeah, I know!" "I''ll go!" In line with Jinhyuk''s signal, Cheon Yoosung and Teresa flew in one direction. Fast. concisely. A surprise attack using the shortest distance created a spectacular effect as much as its advantage. [The unique ability ''Song of the Sword'' is activated!] [The unique ability ''Star Blessing'' is activated!] different abilities. However, he already knew how to use it to create synergy, thanks to how many times he had already put it together. In the sword attack of the heavenly beings. Teresa''s light permeates. [[Swordsman One Body] ''Two souls'' are blooming!] "Aww!" "Aww!" KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Dozens of members'' bodies were cut off with one sword. Indeed, there is a saying that it is said to split Mount Tai. And take advantage of the gap that the two of you made. Jinhyuk moved in earnest. "You bastard!" Sloth, feeling a sense of crisis, activated his abilities again. As the steps moved, the gray mist grew thicker. However, Jinhyuk was one step faster than his ability was fully activated. kwaang! After being hit directly by Jinhyuk''s leg, Sloth rolled over on the ground. "Big?" A terrible pain shook her stomach. A life that has always been accustomed to inflicting pain. When was the last time you felt pain? However, this is the end of the humiliating moment. "How dare you put your dirty feet on my body." petrification. A little while ago, the ability to turn an entire orc into stone was activated. "...my, my body?" An earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk''s pupil. This is because the petrification that began to turn into stone at the tip of the foot quickly spread to the calf. "Please, no. I can''t do this." Jinhyuk struggled all over his body. "Khahaha! Stupid! If I had watched the battle carefully, I would have avoided dying in vain...! All of this is the price of looking down on the Seven Deadly Sins." "Did you know what to say...?" Jinhyuk, who had done all his acting, suddenly smiled. [The unique ability ''Nihilism'' is activated!] Nietzsche''s unique ability to seal all abilities and skills. It wasn''t just for a blow that I just kicked in the stomach. The gathering point of mana. In other words, the purpose was to shake the blood. Due to the lack of skill in nihilism, it was not possible to completely suppress the opponent''s ability by itself, but when used with blood, it was able to make up for the lack. of course. "The petrification... was released along the way? How is that possible...?" For the sloth, unaware of that fact, all of this had to be embarrassing. It was because this was the first time that the ability was not properly activated. "Should I call it an oriental mystery...?" Jinhyuk shrugged. After learning about blood from Master, I naturally learned a lot about the body. Where should I hit it to be more effective? Which blood level blocks and aids the flow of Qi. etc. Thanks to this, a situation where we can fight without worrying about ''steps of negligence'' has been established. ''We have to fight while the blood is pressed.'' Normally it would take half a day, but for a lazy monster, at most 15 minutes would be the limit. 15 minutes. That is the time to decide the winner of this battle. "Whoa..." Jinhyuk took a deep breath. A formidable enemy that would normally only be met by going to the upper floors. No matter how constrained he was in submission, it did not diminish his dignity. ''Strong''. If I had to define the Seven Deadly Sins, that one word was enough. then . [The unique ability ''All things share (f鹲)'' is activated.] This, too, has to be dealt with with the appropriate ones. Following Jinhyuk''s body, the memories and abilities of his colleagues with a high bond came to mind. [You have selected the ability of the ancient species ''???(sweet potato)''.] kukuku kuk kook! At that very moment, a huge wave erupted along Jinhyuk''s body. Pier. An authority that only the Balaur could use engulfed the entire area. Jittery! A feeling of bloody pressure on the skin. A peer acting on the mental system can make it impossible to lift a single finger on any target. "You''re blooming even though you''re not even a Dragon Born. What the hell is your identity?" "I''m a Dragon. I''m sorry. Look. I don''t have a tail or horns." "Are you going to be playing with words?" Sloth let go of Pierre''s pressure and stretched his staff forward. Then, gray colored magic circles were created along the air. That number alone is over 30. "No matter what your race is, it would be enough to take it down with overwhelming force. If you thought I had only one ability, you would be greatly mistaken." Whoops! What followed was a feast of gray raindrops comparable to carpet bombing. "Aww!" "Kyo, Gyo-ju!" "Chwiik! Avoid everyone!" "If you''re around, you''ll get caught!" A wide-area weapon that does not discriminate against enemies. When firepower beyond imagination was concentrated, the entire temple area began to turn into a wasteland. "It was that one!" Even in the thick smoke, Natae found out exactly where Jinhyuk was. It was because he was able to trace the flow of minute mana rather than seeing it with his eyes. kwaaang! Bang KwaKwaKwa bang! A gray flame exploded where Jinhyuk was. However, Jin-hyeok, who moves through short-distance space through ''Shadow Kill'', also did not easily respond to Sloth''s attack. "You''re running away with good food!" "Escape?" It was then that Jinhyuk grabbed Sloth''s back. "I think I''m clearly misunderstanding something, but shading is not an escape or evasion." It''s a skill to cut your breath by stabbing your opponent at the perfect timing. The shadow and the shadow interlocked, creating a blind spot in the visual field. Whoops! The dagger, which became dark red due to the ''Sword Grave'', pierced the neck of the sloth. A long vein of blood spurted out with a terrifying sound of breaking. "Aww!" However, even with a fatal wound that would normally be close to instant death, sloth still moved swiftly. The characteristic negligence had the effect of avoiding even death. "It''s really tough and chewy. Shouldn''t you have cut your throat instead of stabbing it?" Jinhyuk clicked his tongue. "Yeah. Let''s try to relax once in a while." "I would like to refrain from complaining about the loser, but it''s so boring that I can''t even fall asleep because I''m just messing around." "Keukkeuk... No, I didn''t mean to do anything like that. Just like you prepared a trump card. Our great Demon King also prepared some countermeasures in case of such a situation." Sloth''s mouth twitched. Then, black liquid dripped down between her sharp teeth. Soon, he drew a huge rectangle in the air. "What else does that mean?" "It doesn''t mean much. It''s just that while you''re here like this, the place you loved will become a sea of fire." What you see through the rectangular black box is the fortress of giants. It was the base that Jinhyuk possessed. kwaaang! A huge explosion occurred in the citadel of the giants. A holy being with power beyond cognition swung a sword larger than its own body. Kizakiel. The leader of Eden''s battlefield, who was grinding his teeth to find the crown of defeat... . He went out of his way to achieve that goal. In addition, the Eden fighters who follow him are also hard to count. "This, it would be quite difficult if it became known that they even held hands with Eden from the demon world side?" "We''ve only been together for a while because of our interests. That guy is just a shogi. The Demon King said you have to be prepared to hunt a loach like you... I was skeptical at first, but now I understand the deep meaning. " More than that Kizakiel went directly. Medium-sized bases will disappear without leaving a trace. In order to prevent that, Jin-hyeok would have to go back to the base right now. "However, if you rush while dealing with me, your life will be in danger." It''s like having to fight with huge shackles. ruler. "What are you going to do now?" Humans driven by an outcast are usually excited and shake hands or put everything down in resignation. of course. Jinhyeok did not fall under either of those cases. "I too was expecting a base from your side." The base is the source of that power. Of course, I have no intention of giving away such a place easily. "So, I''ve put in a strong teammate." "Whoa..." Short white hair, red eyes. [[Special ability ''Nine-tailed fox'' fire -] ''Fox Fire'' begins.] Nine tails sprouted from Andria''s back. "This is the Master''s order. From now on, we will repel all intruders." T-Bone riding a ghost horse came out of the gate. It was followed by ancient soldiers riding on ghost warhorses as well. "Mooogi!" "Kyao!" "I''m one of the four gods of death, so I''m only going to have to do something like a samurai battle... if the rest of them hear about it, they''ll grab their belly button and laugh." Sweet Potatoes, Havelians, and Black Cranes also met their enemies from the top of the citadel. Now is the beginning of a full-fledged floor war. ruler. "What are you going to do now?" Jinhyuk raised the topic. CH 378 floor war (3) The plan was perfect. Because I was planning to turn everything down after designing it so that the opponent believes it has an advantage and convincing him to do so. As I thought of seeing Jinhyeok slowly collapsing while watching the rear turn into a swampy field, my heart used to pound. However. That hope was shattered from this moment on. "You mean that you have such a strong power?" I can''t believe it. The beings guarding the fortress of the giants were not far behind compared to the giants on the 20th floor. In addition, Mythical beasts, Sacred beasts, and even dragons. High-ranking races corresponding to the boss level of each labyrinth or ruins were crowded together. "Kyao!" As the sweet potato breath blew out, a white beam of light pierced the air. Firepower beyond imagination. It is not a level that can be ignored just because it is a small cub. "Aww!" "Blood, avoid!" The gathered angels hurriedly pulled up mana. [The sanctuary deployment ''Solomon''s Wall'' is activated!] A pure white wall appeared around the angels. The strongest defense skill surrounded by layers of divine power. If this is the case, it can block hatchling-level breath... . Aww! The walls were smashed, and all the angels behind them evaporated. At one time, more than fifty angels disappeared into dust. "Well, it''s not just a Dragon." There is no way an ordinary Dragon has such a powerful breath. However, the ''first Dragon'' belonging to the 46th floor It didn''t even make sense to think that one of them was here. This is because they acted strictly for their own interests. then . Who the hell is that Dragon in front of you? There was no time left for them to ponder the answer. "Coming again from above!" The blue dragon, who controls the weather, moved the black crane. Due to the trait of freely flying angels, their air-to-ground ability works as a great weapon, The Black Crane had the power to destroy its strengths. "Yeah, even if I try to talk to those stupid albino tigers and sluggish tortoises later, I''ll have to deal with the angels to save some face. At least I didn''t fight the little bastards." The soft black crane tried to hypnotize itself. The fact that he was obedient to Jinhyuk as one of the stalwart Shinigami continued to haunt him. [The Black Crane activates ''Weather Change (׃)''!] shoot ah... ! The sky opened and it rained heavily. "Kyu, I can''t keep my balance..." "Give up the air and come all down to the ground! If we stay in the sky, we may collide with each other!" Dark clouds and thunderstorms blocked their view, causing the angels to panic. And take advantage of that confusion. "Dalgrak!" T-Bone''s ghost warhorse has penetrated into the middle of the enemy line. The Aura blade, raised with a terrifying force, struck the front of the angel who had just descended to the ground. kwaaang! A blow that carries the weight and speed of a horse as it is. A gigantic angel managed to stop the ghost warhorse using a shield. "Ugh! I heard that cursed undead don''t obey humans like that. Why... why risk your life to protect this place!" At the angel''s words, T-Bone''s eyes darkened even more. "Our Master is no ordinary human." and. "I will not tolerate judging the Master." If you curse, only the shareholders of the Goin Corporation can do it. He was usually raved about, harassed, and enslaved. Only those who shed blood, sweat and tears will have a say! [T-Bone activates ''Broken Blade''!] Pachichi... Chick! I wondered if the blade would rust, and then it started turning black. Broken Blade. It is a skill that can acquire extreme attack power by cursing one''s own weapon. kwaaang! Again, the sword and the sword crossed. in a fierce battle. Finally . Andria and Kizakiel, who had been ''nine-tailed fox'', faced each other head-on. "You you know that it''s the boss monster downstairs, right?" "That''s right." "My name is Andria, who is in charge of the ''psychiatric ward''." "It''s ridiculous. Now even the boss monsters are on the side of the player." "Is that wrong?" "That''s a question...! For the person in charge of one floor of the tower to obey only the climber who climbs the tower. Do you think that''s the right thing to do? You don''t have any pride or pride!" "Yeah. There''s nothing like that. I was supposed to be dead in the first place." Used and then thrown away In the end, an accessory that must be sacrificed as a sacrifice. That was the fate that was destined for Andria. "It''s good to be bossy or proud. You can throw away such trivial things as many times as you want." Nine tails moved smoothly. fox fire game. The ability to combine magic-type abilities and illusion-type effects at the same time was very difficult to deal with. In particular, it was difficult to win easily because the fox''s trait allowed him to move quickly and flexibly. However, the fact that it is difficult to catch is just that it is a little tricky to the last. No matter how raw meat is, even a nine-tailed fox cannot be a match for Kizakiel. KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! The sword cut through the air. "Aww!" Andria''s body bounced about ten meters away. Simply by using a sword wind force an absurd physical force. This is the battle commander who leads the battle angels. This is Kizakiel. "Just because you got a little special ability, you''re fighting against Eden, who rules the heavens. I''ll make sure you pay the price for that arrogance." But right then. "There are quite a few gaps." Something popped out of Kizakiel''s shadow. It was Wolyeong, who was hiding in the shadows and looking for a gap in breathing. Whoops! The sword that dug into the armor cut through Kizakiel''s flesh. "...!" In the meantime, he quickly turned around to minimize the damage, but blood came out of Kizakiel''s body for the first time. A red line was drawn on the white armor. "You will pay the price for stepping into your master''s place recklessly." How to melt into the dark shadows and reveal them only when necessary. sush. Dozens of shadows rose from the shadows. All of them were elites belonging to the Shadow Squad. "Shoot it." "John." The masked men drew their swords all at once. "Now you don''t have to worry about the rear." Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders slowly. Thanks to my colleagues who reliably protect the base, I was relieved. " " Sloth waved her hand. The mirror that showed the fortress of the giants following the dimension disappeared as it was. "Why? You don''t want to see me anymore?" "You don''t have to. It''s pointless anyway." Kizakiel cannot fight for long. The present exiled from Eden. It was because there was a risk that the rest of the angels would intervene if they were dragged into a long battle. In other words. The plan completely failed. "The rear-guard battle was a total defeat for me. To be honest, I never thought I would have prepared this far." "You give up so quickly. If possible, I''d like you to give up your life as quickly as possible... so that we don''t have to work in vain for each other." Now that he has sealed his abilities by controlling his nihilism and blood. It is not necessary to say which side the goddess of victory is smiling towards. Whoops. Jinhyuk stretched Barnard forward. huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo A dark red sword completely enveloped the sword body. However. "I''m sorry, but I''m not the type of person to take pride in something useless or risk my life." Annoying. Or you don''t want to take risks. Sloth deliberately gave up trying to cross the dangerous bridge. "Are you going to run away even when there are so many subordinates left?" "There are still quite a few believers left. But, wouldn''t a hole be opened at once if the detached corps prepared by you was put in?" Sloth''s gaze turned to the right. Beyond the wide open forest, the faint scent of the flesh approached in the wind. "They''ve ambushed the trolls. They chose only the strong ones, not like those belonging to the lower floors." "...Yeah. Now that I look at it, my nose is also a Gaeko. I purposely placed it as far away as possible, but you figured it out." Jinhyuk let out a small exclamation. The second Hidden card prepared for perfection. Caracal and the trolls of the Frostblade clan were waiting, accompanied by the Dire Wolf. At the moment when the tight balance continued, I tried to secure the match at once by raiding the flanks. That foxy guy noticed it. ''If you decide to run away openly, you must have prepared a means to escape.'' There is no way to stop them if they use space movement magic as their shields. For now. "It''s finally time to use you. Stop him while I''m leaving here." "Crurr..." A strange looking Death Knight appeared in front of the sloth. Now, as if freshly made, the undead, who had not yet completely removed the human tee, drew a sword from his waist. Sreung! "That guy..." Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. there is no way to know He covered his whole body with black armor, but his face was clearly visible. Paydon. The traitor who served as the commander of the united raid this time. He struggled to live like that, and his words were quite tragic. Neither die nor live, and have lived a life of eternal obedience to the commands of indolence. "This guy has good materials, so it''s an individual made with special care." Rare by-products of the demon world and high-end equipment were generously invested. There. [Sloth activates Lv35 ''mana succession''!] A special skill that distributes the caster''s mana to the target. kukukuku! "Aww!" Faiden, infused with the mana of sloth, roared wildly. A terrifying mana erupted from his body. It''s a matter of course. Because now Faiden''s body is infused with the power of sloth. "Kill it''s all everything." Fayden raised the sword high with both hands. "Then, let''s go back today. Next time, it''s annoying, but I''ll come prepared a little more." After the sloth turned his back without any regrets, he activated the space movement magic. Gray runes dizzy embroidered the air. okay. You would think you could get away safely with this. [The unique ability ''Blood Explosion'' is activated!] The distance between Sloth and Fayden was only a few meters. Drops of blood in Fayden''s body expanded rapidly. "I was expecting that if I got into a corner, I would leave Faiden behind and run away. To make it a little more certain, I would also use the mana succession." "What does that mean...?" An earthquake occurred in the pupil of the sloth. Space movement magic was activated and Faden''s body exploded. It was no exaggeration to say that the two were almost simultaneous. Aww! That moment is enough. "Aww!" The space movement magic was canceled, and the upper body of the sloth was swept away by the explosion. The result was even more fatal because he was so close and he wasn''t even ready to defend himself. "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." Sloth, who had lost his right arm and a third of his face, staggered and crawled on the ground. It''s not hard to kill. Because with just one simple knife, you will be able to stop breathing. However. Rather than end him here... . " " Jinhyuk grabbed Barnard right above Sloth. CH 379 Perfect Victory (1) huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [The 5-star barrier ''Mirage Cliff'' is activated!] Instead of taking his breath with a knife, Jinhyuk hit a barrier that distorted his vision around him. "Wow, what are you doing? Is this?" Sloth couldn''t hide her embarrassment at the unexpected situation. "Stay still. I''m just going to have a short conversation." "A conversation? Between you and me?" "Even if our relationship is like this now, can''t it be improved in the future?" Jinhyuk shrugged. "What do you want to say?" "I''m loyal to Guntafer. I know it''s not because of the loyalty that comes from my heart. It must have been inevitable. Because I was forced to make a contract of obedience." " " Natae kept her mouth shut. Again, it hit the corner. "What you want is not to be free from those restrictions and relax forever. A life where you don''t get tied to anyone and do nothing. If you do business with me, I''ll guarantee it." this definitely works Because sloth wanted rest more than anything else. This bait had to be eaten. "Is that possible? The opponent is one of the Demon Kings of the demon world." "You know it because you''ve faced it yourself? I know that I can even defeat the Demon King." "It''s ridiculous. To discuss the battle with an immortal with a mortal body..." It''s a story not even worth hearing. Because there is such a thing as bluff and goodness. However. " after all, I don''t have any other options." either die or believe. If there were only two to choose from, the answer was fixed. Whoops! Jinhyuk activated ''Stigma of the Soul''. A dazzling flame rose from the tip of his finger, and a new contract of submission was made engraved in his soul. "You know, I can''t disobey Guntafer. If you fight the Demon King in the future, I can''t stand on your side." "I know. A contract with a higher divinity will have a much stronger constraint. What I want is inside information. Any plans on how he''s going to move. Let me know immediately if there''s any news." "If that''s the case, it wouldn''t be a problem." "The same goes for the remaining Seven Deadly Sins. In particular, everything about ''jealousy'' should be passed on." Although the Six Seven Deadly Sins living in the upper classes were not restricted by Guntafer and submissiveness like sloth. They were building a cooperative relationship because of their mutual interests. This means that all obstructions must be removed. Among them, Jealousy, which has the most difficult ability, was the subject of attention. Of course, it was that guy who was more demanding than most of the heroes, as well as the divinities. "Okay. Let''s do that." With a nod of laziness, the ''Cult of Ghosts'' declared surrender. Through this . One of the giant powers on the 20th floor collapsed. at the same time. [A new giant force appears on the 20th floor!] [The attack condition has been fulfilled!] A status message indicating a new start appeared. The upper part of the tower called Storm Hill. Torches burned all at once in the cave lined with giant dragon fragments. Whoops! As the darkness cleared, the small goblin began to walk along the passage. "Things are turning out to be more interesting than I thought. I didn''t expect that I wouldn''t be able to break through the exterior of the fortress." Hasting muttered to himself. Then, as if waiting, a new voice intervened in the shadows. "Yeah. To be honest, I thought the winged guys would do better than that, but it''s too neatly clogged." She wore short hair and a short dress. The first Dragon, ''Tamia''. He is the absolute leader of the Red Dragon clan. "For Kizakiel, who is being chased, it must have been a fight with a shackle wrapped around one ankle." Finally, one of the vampires'' headmasters, Axencion, added a word. "Huhu. Still, I gained a lot. It was because I was able to get a glimpse of the opponent''s power and defense tactics. It was a very useful chess piece to use as a test." jerk. at the end of that word. Hasting''s footsteps stopped. "You have arrived." "This is. Is it a must-see?" "That''s right. Come on, let''s take a look." Hasting pointed a finger at one end. At the end of the stone statues, there was a white, strange-looking huge bone. [The bones of the ancient dragon ''???''] "This ." Axencion''s eyes narrowed. Even though they were vampires who had no contact with dragons, there was no way that the head of the household did not know about the ancient dragon. One of the strongest creatures that exist in the Tower. Because the ancient dragon was a race that could threaten even beings on the 50th floor. "Hey, our manager. Why the hell are you even calling us like this? You''ve been hiding these things? Ho-oh. The skeleton and the remnants of the mana that remain, look like a bloodstain of a destruction dragon?" Tamia also looked at the bones with curious eyes. "As expected, Tamia-sama recognizes it right away." "Of course I know. Let''s see... Destia. Yes, he''s a blood relative." "If it''s Desti, isn''t it the Dragon that lives on the 48th floor?" "That''s right. The guy who used to be our kind received some prettiness from the superiors for his dirty waterway. Thanks to that, he was given the undeserved title of Destruction Dragon." Tamia ponders the past. He had a bitter taste. A title that only ancient dragons can obtain. It was not comparable to the most heterogeneous and out-of-spec Void Dragon, but the Destroyer Dragon was also a monster that lived on the top floor of the tower. And one of the corpses of the ancient dragon that had the blood of such a monster... . It came into this hand. "This is really fun. So, Manager. What are you going to do with this corpse?" "There are a lot of ways you can use it." The corners of Hasting''s lips went up. Using the data and the strongest by-products built up step by step. This time, you must kill the damn player and restore the trust of the 50th floor. That was the only way to keep the tower in balance as a senior manager. Attack on the 20th floor. By defeating the greatest force, Jinhyuk conquered another floor. In particular, as the betrayal of Faiden, the combined engineering commander, and the activities of the deceased corporation, which saved everyone even in the worst situation, were revealed, outside the tower cheered for another myth. -Mint Choco Pizza: As expected, Jinhyuk and Koinmul Corporation are as strong as soup. Turn it off! -Enriz''s faithful servant No.1: But, is it true that you forcefully attack the tower and then throw away all the engineering members to live alone? Fayden or something? -Ripple 4600th floor: He was a well-known player, but I really don''t understand. -You are already dead: There are so many resources in the tower, you must have gambled for wealth and fame. The results turned out to be even worse. -Ants are terrifying: Because of this incident, even large guilds say they are withdrawing their feet from attacking the tower. It seems that the rankers do a lot of damage. - No matter how much ginger is raw garlic: Well, there are so many deaths. Newly awakened players may still lack experience. -S2LillpeS2: Unless it''s Jinhyuk, it''s actually impossible to attack the upper floors hahahaha. ?? Classes exist even in large guilds. A huge wall that can never be crossed. Now, most of the viewers sympathized with that fact. As a result, the stock price of Goin-Mul Corporation had no choice but to skyrocket. ''It''s all going the way I wanted it to.'' Jinhyuk nodded his head as if satisfied. One of the things I had planned since I first entered the Tower of Trials. That is, it will grab the viewers and stand in a unique position. ''What I like the most is that you can use editing to cut out important scenes and manipulate only the beneficial ones.'' With this, not only do they monopolize the coin, but they can be proudly recognized as a force when attacking the upper floors. [The ''Citadel of Giants'' currently occupied by Goin-Mul Corporation is a medium-sized base.] ''Hmm. Before going to the 35th floor, you have to finish the promotion to at least a large base... .'' Now the pace is never slow. To put it bluntly, it had the largest base among the forces that had been created in recent years. However, for a more stable attack, it was necessary to exert more effort. That was then. "What are you doing? Are you laughing all alone?" Elise, who was next to her, tilted her head. The banquet held by the Empire was just about to begin. Jin-hyeok, who was smiling alone looking into the air, looked strange. "It''s nothing. It just makes me feel good." "Huh. Maybe it''s because of my clothes? Huh? How are you? Do you think it''s okay?" As if showing off her figure, Elise rotated her body once in place. It is a dress that retains its splendid yet noble beauty as it is. The treasures of the ancient empire with the 100% charm effect shone on their own. When the colorful and expensive jewels that Elise specially prepared for this banquet blended together, the beauty of military service was revealed without filtration. sergeant sergeant! In fact, a lot of nobles around them blushed when they saw Elise. ''Well, it''s always because I''m in trouble. The original version of this guy is not bad.'' There''s Teresa, Andrea, and Frey. All of them belonging to the Goin Corporation boasted outstanding beauty. Of course, the men also focused everyone''s attention. Cheon Yoo-seong, who is having a conversation with Abraham, and Wol-yeong, who has not yet taken off his boyish shirt due to his exotic appearance, was a big topic of discussion just standing still. There was no need to talk about Chuhonsayeong and the Dark Hwang. "Stupid contractor! Is it because of my clothes!" When Jinhyuk did not respond, Elise shouted. However, Jinhyuk''s interest had already shifted to a distant place. " " in the crowd. There was a mixture of heterogeneous energy. It was so faint that I almost missed it, but it was an energy I knew for sure. "Wait a minute, eat some cake here." "Don''t sound like a cake! Look straight at me!" "Here''s your favorite strawberry cake. Come on." "Strawberry is a dog woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" A whole large cake was shoved into Alice''s mouth. Using that gap, Jinhyuk walked through the crowd to the terrace of the large banquet hall. A quiet place in the moonlight. It is as if you have entered a world cut off from the noisy interior. And there were two men of different sizes standing there. "By now, it''s time to run away, how did you get here? Don''t make ridiculous excuses that you''re here to enjoy a banquet." Jinhyuk opened his mouth first. "Hey. I hid this by hiding its presence in its own way, but it caught on so quickly?" "It''s probably because your disguise is too clumsy. Still, it''s true that you''re quick-witted. After all, it''s like a player who is eager to sign everyone." A slender body in contrast to the massive muscle mass. The shell on the outside is different, but you can''t even fool the kernel inside. Thor and Loki. The Nordic divinities belonging to Ragnarok came to the Empire. Exactly... . ''It''s to meet me.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. I can only guess why I came here... . Coming at this time means there must be some other reason. "It''s going to be a long night." CH 380 Perfect Victory (2) While Jinhyeok attacked the 20th floor, the war between Ragnarok and Olympus was almost coming to an end. One-sided victory for Olympus. Although he struggled in Jotunheim, as a result, the direction of the match was already decided. "...I heard that all areas except Yggdrasil have been captured." "Hey, has the news already reached the players? Hahaha. This is a bit embarrassing." "Since I have some connections here and there, information comes in quickly." To be precise, I was memorizing all the numbers in the past when I played. There''s no need to tell Loki or Thor about that. "Then the story will be quicker. As you said, our situation is not very good. Fortunately, thanks to the geographical specificity, we are protecting Yggdrasil as much as we can, but even that won''t last long." If you lose Yggdrasil, the basis of Ragnarok, it''s the end. It was no exaggeration to say that the world tree that symbolizes a myth is Ragnarok itself. "So, what do you want from me?" "I''ve heard of the activities of the forces you lead. To be honest, they are so strong that it''s hard to believe even a human being." I knew it. Are you talking about asking for help? However, you must be aware that no matter how strong the Goin Corporation is, it will not be able to compete with Olympus'' main force, right? As if guessing what Jinhyuk was thinking, Loki quickly added a word. "Ah! Of course, I''m not asking for anything unreasonable. Actually, what we''re asking for is to get one specific item." "You want materials to protect Yggdrasil . Two of the three basic elements of the confrontation world are of the kind that can be obtained from Ragnarok, so what''s left is the ''Sun Spring Water''." "...!?" In an instant, Loki became a honey-eaten dumbass. It''s because I never imagined that I could predict the end of the conversation based on that clue alone. "Khaha! I ate this one well. Yeah. You''re right. Our only hope is to protect Yggdrasil. ." In place of Loki, who was standing blankly, a large man next to him stepped forward. Thor. Indeed, just seeing each other makes me feel short of breath. Even though mana is extremely hidden, it''s this much. I wondered just how strong the body that was completely liberated would be. In the past, it was because Thor, the great hero of Ragnarok, was killed by the demon world before he could even fight properly. ''That was a bit disappointing. Unlike Hercules, Thor didn''t even see each other a few times.'' This was one of the few things that made me sad while climbing the tower. then . ''What would it be like in the present country?'' Jinhyuk''s fingers twitched. At this point, less than three years have passed since I entered the tower. Originally, fighting with divinity was a taboo that should be avoided at all costs. But why? The thought of despair didn''t even come close to my fingernails. worth a try Even if the highest divinity, which is the toughest, is the opponent. "Hey, keep sharp blades in moderation. I know we''re asking for unreasonable requests, but there''s nothing to be so hostile about, right?" "I''m not asking you to help out with your mouth. We have prepared something for you. I''m sure you''ll like it." The two divinities who misunderstood Jinhyuk''s life in a different way rushed to the point. Loki carefully pulled a white leaf out of his chest. This ? An earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk''s pupil. I expected an unusual reward, but I never imagined that I would even present this. "The leaves of Yggdrasil..." "haha ." "There''s really nothing I don''t know. I don''t need to explain it anymore." Loki and Thor now reacted beyond surprise and absurdity. The reason I saw the leaves of Yggdrasil was because there were very few of the divinities belonging to Ragnarok. "So, what are you going to do? If you are the one with the crown, you know how valuable the leaves of Yggdrasil are?" The Crown of Doom is one of the top artifacts that exist in the tower, but it had the disadvantage of being difficult to handle. It was made for use by monsters with a normal level of 500 or more, so of course the requirements are huge. However, if the leaves of Yggdrasil are well processed... . ''I''ll be able to adjust the mana so that I can handle it with my level now.'' This condition is quite attractive. It''s good enough to exceed expectations. "What is the deadline?" The transaction was made. The next place to go has been decided. "What is this?" When I returned to the prom, something quite interesting was unfolding. kukukuku! A chandelier swinging violently. The warm and pleasant prom no longer exists. "Are you here now? Please, I hope you will take care of the behind-the-scenes." Cheon Yoo-seong clicked his tongue and was the first to greet him. "What are you talking about?" "If you see, you know. If you see..." What do you want to see? Jinhyuk''s eyes turned to the ballroom. OK. "The foolish saint looks a little tired today. Did you grow old in one day because you only prayed all day?" "Oh my God. Don''t you think it''s enough for a kid who''s lived for thousands of years to wear only flashy clothes? I thought it was his mother''s clothes because his clothes were too loose." "do you want to die?" "I''m going to live a long time." The members of Goin-Mul Corporation, who are engaged in a huge nerve war, caught my eye. Elise and Teresa raised their voices. We didn''t hold each other''s knives. tend to sting with words ''When did Teresa turn black again? .'' It was when Jinhyuk was sighing. "Hehe. Jinhyuk-nim. Come over here for a second." Andria, who was smiling brightly, approached Jinhyuk. The eyes are smiling, but the atmosphere is strong. as if to prove it. Shh. Ugh... . A large number of people approached Jinhyuk. The members of the 5th floor ''psychiatric ward''. Exactly, they are Andria''s Sioux family. "Now, what are you... Andrea?" "That''s right, there''s an event where you dance in front of the emperor at a ball a little later." I think I may remember hearing that such an event was held. "So what does that have to do with this?" "Kyaaaa. You pretend you don''t know...!" Andria covered her face with her hands as if embarrassed. at the same time. Sreung! Chunkyung! Various weapons protruded from the arms of the believers. "I definitely want to dance with Jinhyuk no matter what happens. Hehe. The unnies will be busy fighting each other. It''s creepy. A cold sweat ran down Jinhyuk''s back. This is dangerous. "Yoosung ah?" "Didn''t I tell you? You''re the only one in charge of the rear. I don''t know." Cheon Yoo-seong turned away from his gaze with a single knife. "Damn it." fault. Jinhyuk left his seat and ran along the side hallway of the terrace. "You won''t miss it!" Andria and her followers began to pursue Ururu. How long has it been since you were chased by believers like that? It was none other than Frey who saved Jinhyuk from the corner. KwaKwaKwang! He used the spear to break down the wall, disturbing his gaze. "Thanks Frey. Thanks to you I survived... huh?" Frey looked up at Jinhyuk with an expressionless face. Where I got it, I thought that a blue dress would look particularly good with blue hair. the problem is. "What is a dance?" It was that Frey, who had no doubt that he would get him out of this hell, was not on the same side. " It''s a kind of social activity, but it''s a useless action that doesn''t help at all in battle." "I''ve never done it, I don''t know." Frey tilted her head. However. "I think it should be done at least once in order to accumulate data. The probability is 100%." " " firmly caught wrong. "Were you hiding here? Stupid contractor!" "If I can''t get my hands on it, I''d rather cut it." Moreover, when Elise and Teresa joined the war, the situation became even more hellish. about an hour later. The strife, which was reminiscent of war, was over. To be precise, it has become a battle with no winners or losers, only scars... . As Jinhyeok disappeared into the crowd, Elise and Teresa and Frey and Andria stared blankly at the dance, the highlight of the ball. Seeing the good men and women dancing in pairs made one part of my heart flutter. "...whoah." Alice sighed deeply. I really wanted to be with Jinhyuk in there. No matter how hard you try, the world doesn''t work the way you want it to. "I''m going to look for some more. What about an idiot saint?" "Well. I''ll try to stay here a little longer." "It''s quick to give up. Do whatever you want." When Elise was gone, Teresa, who was left alone, sat down on the stairs. right then Cheon Yoosung reached out his hand to Teresa without saying a word. "Huh. Are you here to comfort me?" "I was taught not to leave a sad woman alone." "Really... he''s a pointless man." Teresa smiled and stood up. "Still, I''ll have to give this Sunding a chance to dance like this. Otherwise, I''ll just suffer alone for the rest of my life." [Theresa dispels ''Corruption''.] "Mr. Yoosung?" Teresa rolled her eyes. "Oh, I... ah..." "This is it." Yoosung Cheon led Teresa to the center of the stage. Soon, the two of them danced to an elegant tune. "Have you barely been bullied?" Jinhyuk, hidden in the crowd, let out a long sigh. I didn''t notice it because I was running away like crazy, but before I knew it, a lot of people around me were dancing to the song. ''I can hide in moderation and get out of the ballroom.'' After all, if you put your mind to it and run away, no one will catch rotten water. But right then. "Chuckle! It seems that our student isn''t very popular. Seeing him standing here alone, blankly." The voice of the Dark Emperor resounded from behind. "No, it''s not how... Master is here. It''s not popular. What does that mean?" "Don''t worry. Do you have this master?" Amhwang grabbed Jinhyuk''s wrist with his left arm. At a moment when it could be said that it was almost the same time. His right hand, like a hook, gripped Jinhyuk''s waist tightly. "S, Master?" "Look carefully. This is the ''Black Heavenly King Dance'' that has been passed down from generation to generation at our school...!" kwaang! A huge wave occurred along the ground. "It''s Heukcheon and Nabal, and if you use it, everything will fall down here!" "The power of being a man by nature. When the main dance performed this dance, there was no woman who didn''t come over!" It''s not that it didn''t pass, it''s that it''s all gone. The words to stop came out of Jinhyuk''s throat, but it was already too late. Because the dark emperor''s dance has begun. "Uhhhhhhhh!" KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa! Jinhyuk''s body rotated so much that he couldn''t see it with the rotation like a storm. If you spin the merry-go-round at 100x speed, what would it look like? The marble floor was dug out at a frightening speed. "Ahhhhhh!" "Avoid!" "If you get caught, you can''t even pick out the bones!" The nobles rushed out of the ballroom. Seeing the pillars collapsing like toothpicks, it''s true that even ten lives are not enough. In the distance, I could see the face of the current emperor crying, Penheimer biting a bubble, and Abraham smiling as if it was funny. Even when the rebellion broke out, the imperial palace did not fall. Hundreds of years of history are on the verge of disappearing into powder. "I''m dying. Master. I''m really dying!" "Hold on! This is all training to win the hearts of women! Heukcheon... The King''s Martial Arts! 3 Seconds Food!" No, I''m dying! CH 381 sun spring water (1) The 21st to 29th floors of the Tower of Trials are the realm of two great powers. Empire and Moorim. This means that only players with permission to move the floor from both factions can cross this floor and go to the 30th floor. And of course . Jinhyeok and the players belonging to the Goin Corporation were free to cross the floor free from that restriction. Currently, in a secret underground bunker located in Washington, USA, players belonging to the Titan Guild were gathered. "Whoa..." "Hmm ." A long sigh continued in the conference room. Lying on a soft chair was a man with a strong body with long blonde hair. It was ''Snyder'', the leader of the internal attack team of the Titan Guild and an S ranker. In addition, on the other side of the screen, rankers of Japan''s ''Samurai'' and China''s new guild ''Chunhon'' were seen, including the Olympus Guild, which suffered a major blow to its image due to the attack on the 20th floor. Everyone was in the meeting to discuss an important matter. Snyder broke the heavy atmosphere and opened his mouth. "In the end, you need the permission of player Kang Jin-hyuk to climb the 20th floor safely." Yes. Each guild also wanted to monopolize the tower''s various resources and numerous guilds. faster than anyone else. However, that dream had to be abandoned by a huge force called the Goin Corporation. then . The next best thing is to align with that force and aim for the position of the second person. "It will be difficult to convince you with anything. If you have the right to go to the top of the tower, even if you give it a billion dollars, it will be a loss." "Well, even if it were me, I wouldn''t share it with anyone. Unless it''s an idiot, anyone would." Reading information is common sense among common sense. Kang Jin-hyuk, who was no one else, could not have known that. "Or, how about recognizing Goin Corporation as an equal relationship at the national level?" Extraterritoriality and full autonomy. In a word, we promise to treat them the same as the head of a country. Due to their enormous capital and lobbying, the 7th guild already enjoyed such powers, but Jinhyeok, who was not so interested in power struggles outside the tower, didn''t even care about such things. "Certainly, that could be a bit glamorous." "Because I can''t stay in the tower forever." Everyone nodded, saying it wasn''t a bad suggestion. After fighting in the tower, you must return to reality and lead a life outside the tower. Although it is kimchi soup, in the distant future, all floors of the tower may be attacked. Considering that time, the conditions raised by the 7th guild now would not be light at all. Because it meant that an individual would have state-level power in his hands. "Funny!" As soon as the words were finished, someone interrupted. Anger and jealousy were oozing from his hardened face. Master of the Gandhara Guild. ''Nirasha''. He is an Indian ranker who gave up everything to become stronger after being defeated by Jinhyeok in the Empire. "Nirasha-san doesn''t seem to like it." "Of course! Everyone is bragging about that scumbag as if it were anything, but he''s a complete scammer! Besides, what makes a guy who only knows how to hit other people in the back of the head because he''s pretty? If you guys don''t want to get big one after another, keep my words in mind. Sun." Nirasha was nicknamed the Ice Witch because she was usually cool and cold. By the way, I''m so excited that I don''t even use my name. It seems like a lot of stuff has piled up. "I heard that India lost a lot of rankers, and that was true." Yang Chi-an, who has been representing Cheon-hon, clicked his tongue. "It''s foolish to try to err on the side of personal feelings. In fact, how many times did player Jinhyuk Kang save us from a crisis? He is a benefactor, not a competition. He is a hero who gives grace." Takeshi, a false prophet of the Samurai Guild, also defended Jinhyuk. In fact, the biggest reason for holding this meeting was because of Takeshi''s future poetry. "In the future I saw, there must be player Jinhyuk Kang." For the future of mankind. If I had to pick just one person, it had to be Jinhyuk. Takeshi drew the line on behalf of the samurai. "Everyone is right. You can''t give up the profit of the whole guild just because your guild is sad. We will proceed with the meeting with player Jinhyuk Kang as scheduled." "Let''s see. This decision. You will surely regret it." Nirasha let out a cold smile. "Regret? So, are you saying that taking that side is the way to not regret?" Snyder asked, seemingly absurd. "Well. You''ll find out in a little while. Who was in the wrong line?" ''Apostle of Balance.'' ''Thousands of ages'', a combination of ''Hinduism'' and ''Vedas'' created by Shiva and other great divinities of India. and. One of the apostles they finally chose a few days ago was Nirasha. "You are so proud that you were chosen by divinity. Even if you don''t sarcastic, this work will be completed successfully. At those words, everyone''s eyes turned to one side. One corner of the conference room. A person with a slightly unique atmosphere was sitting there. one at a time. If Jinhyuk rejects this offer... . Then you can use this card. Three days have passed since the attack on the 20th floor was over. The request from Ragnarok is to obtain materials to protect Yggdrasil. Among them, Jinhyuk took on a special item called ''Sun Spring Water''. "Hmm..." Jinhyuk, who was walking along Seokchon Lake, stroked his chin. It was good to enjoy the holidays outside the tower, but now that we are about to go to a troublesome place, there are many things to think about. ''I''ll have to sort out the attack method first with a little bit of tension.'' The spring of the sun exists in the labyrinth located on the 23rd floor of the tower, and it was difficult to obtain the key to enter it. Moreover, even if they succeeded in entering the interior, the gate guardian who guards the labyrinth also did not take damage unless it was a specific attack pattern. ''It means that Thor and Loki didn''t entrust it to me for nothing.'' In the first place, the two didn''t even know the exact location of the sun''s spring water. By the way, Yoosung Cheon, when is this idiot coming? It''s been an hour since I said that stray cats only feed me. I wish I could have eaten something like this by hungry cats... . But that''s when I thought so. Boo woo woo... kkiik. The black Mercedes-Benz S-Class stopped next to Jinhyuk. It was also equipped with bulletproof, and it was a special vehicle that looked unusual at first glance. rumble! When the door opened, a man with handsome blonde hair appeared. It''s a familiar face Because I''ve already seen it several times through the media. ''Snyder'' of the Titan Guild. An S-class player with long-range sniper skills. smile. Snyder, who had a soft smile in the world, pulled out a business card from his pocket. "Nice to meet you. Player Jinhyuk Kang, I belong to the American Titan Guild..." "Videos from Bellemos Labyrinth. I enjoyed watching them. The ability to control boss monsters from a distance is really excellent." " No, did you see that?" Snyder put the business card back in with a humble face. "Because I tend to carefully check the trends of the top rankers." "It''s really an honor. I never imagined that player Jinhyuk Kang would be interested. Haha. Am I just shrugging my shoulders?" "So, what''s going on with a large American guild so far?" "that is ." Snyder looked around. It was so early that there weren''t many people, but there were people jogging from dawn. You run the risk of being noticed if you keep talking. It''s not anyone else, especially if it''s Jinhyuk. "Why don''t we go somewhere else and talk? We''ve chartered a floor of the hotel." "I''m sorry, but there is someone waiting. It''s going to be difficult to leave." "I can''t help it. Then... I''ll tell you the gist of it quickly." After thinking for a moment, Snyder spoke quickly. "I heard that the Goin Corporation currently has the authority to move the floor from the Empire and Moorim." I knew it. I thought I''d get the story out. After all, it was only a matter of time before the large guilds came in contact with the 20th floor. "If you want to pass through the upper floors you must be aware that the seeds are not eaten at any cost, right?" "Anyway, would you have brought a penny from our side? If you give us what we want, Primary God, we will guarantee you a blank check, extraterritorial rights, and a visa that allows you to work freely in any country." Snyder added a little bit more. "If possible... it wouldn''t be a bad idea to get citizenship from a powerful country that can contain player Jinhyuk Kang." 1st or 10th or 100th. Simply write in numbers and submit, and they will be converted into dollars. The other two powers were also too many privileges for an individual to have. It is enough to take it without even thinking about it. But. That''s a story for ordinary people anyway. "Hmm. I don''t care if it''s money other than coins. And there won''t be a force that can touch me right now, so the rest will be the same." All of those things felt meaningless to Jinhyuk. "Ha, but...!" "For example, if I commit a crime in the United States can you arrest me there?" Short and light questions. However, the weight of the question was never light. Even if the Titan Guild''s power is mobilized, will they be able to subdue the monster in front of them? No, not just the Titan Guild, but even if all the rankers of the large guild gathered three days ago were mobilized? It won''t be easy. The results could not be definitively put into words. "Jinhyuk Kang I already know that the player is great. There was also a strong recommendation from Takeshi-san." However. "According to the official tally, the deceased corporation consists of only about ten people. Do you really think that you can maintain the maximum power with only these people?" "I think you''re misunderstanding something..." Jinhyuk smirked. "The reason we have a small number of people is because there is no need to increase the number." few elites. If each person has hundreds of thousands of capabilities, there is no reason to inflate their size. " " Snyder kept her mouth shut as the words were muffled. Swordseong, Cheonyuseong, and Saint Teresa who saved Amsterdam, whom everyone is reluctant to face one-on-one. There was even a silver-haired ranker called Elise. Each member of the Goin Corporation was unmatched. ''I didn''t expect to be naturalized in the United States, but... There is no room for negotiations at all.'' no. It''s not over yet. Didn''t you prepare a hidden card to stimulate your opponent for such a time? "I can''t I didn''t want to do it this far " Snyder nodded towards the Benz. OK. rumble. The door opened, and someone appeared. " !!??" Jinhyeok''s eyes flashed with a smile. The person Snyder brought was never meant to be here. CH 382 Sun Spring Water (2) ''This is amazing.'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed as he looked at his opponent. there''s no way you don''t know How could you not know? Mask with geometric patterns. A slender yet strong physique. Above all, the mana flowing out of the body is unusual. player Unknown. To be precise, it is a fake pretending to be unknown. jerk. Unknown stood next to Snyder. "Recently, the appearance of an unknown player has been rare. Of course, I thought that I would be with player Jinhyuk Kang, but I heard that he would act separately for some reason." Already, in various communications, rumors of a discord between Jinhyeok and Unknown were being mentioned casually. I often wondered if the two players who had built a united front would become estranged from each other, but as they consistently refused to respond to numerous interview requests, of course, there was no choice but to ignite a fire. In particular, the biggest reason was that Unknown was not included in the official members of the Goin Corporation. ''I''m going to use that to pretend I''m not known and suck some honey... .'' how to take this Jinhyuk smiled bitterly. If you''re an opportunist like a goblin, you''re an opportunist. If you''re stupid, you''re stupid. ''Even if no one else knows, I must know that there is a high probability that I will be able to discern the authenticity of Unknown.'' Still, is he convinced that Unknown is hiding his identity until the end? Or does it mean that I don''t care if I know I''m fake? It''s true that either way is interesting. "...So, why did you bring that person here?" "As you know, Unknown player is a ranker with numerous achievements. Even the Awakening Association has allowed the tower to be attacked as an exception." Snyder gave a lot of flair. As if to say that he is completely grasping the Unknown. "Even if you, Jinhyuk Kang, don''t you think it''s easy to attack the upper tiers? Especially if you''re in a position to walk on a road you''ve never been before for the first time." As yet, there was no specific information about the upper floors. Dare to predict, there will be plenty of floors that are several times more difficult than the middle floor. That''s fine, it''s a minority. It is said that it is impossible to predict what variables will be present. "However, if you work with us, we will support you in a more comfortable way." more up than now. More stable and faster. It means that we will provide support in both economic and practical ways. "Certainly... it''s not bad." "Do you mean you want to accept our offer?" "First, I want to talk to Unknown a little bit. We''ll talk about it later." "...Okay. Please don''t drag it too long." Snyder looked around once more. Then he stepped back for a moment and made a place just for the two of them. ruler. How are you going to get out now? Jinhyuk looked at his opponent in the face. Unknown also did not avoid Jinhyuk''s gaze. whoops An annoying sigh escaped. "I''m not very fond of silly psychological warfare or head fights, so let me tell you in advance. I have no intention of pretending to be an ignorant. I''ve only put on this mask to get your attention." said himself Was it the latter? " I admit that it is surprisingly cool. I thought I would give a little more excuses." "He''s the type of person who hates wasting time. Just because he decides to cheat, he''s not someone he can cheat on either." "Then, we all know each other. Why don''t we take off the mask and have a conversation?" "I''m sorry, but that can''t be. There''s no reason to show your bare face just because you''re not Unknown." "I''m sorry, but I didn''t ask for it either." Jinhyuk''s fingers moved. Pachis NS! As mana gathered, ''barrier'' and ''glacier modeling'' were activated at the same time. [The 6-star ''Enclosed Realm'' is activated!] [[Glacier modeling] ''Extreme Ice Arrow'' is activated!] The ice powder took shape in an instant. I wondered if the three arrows were flashing, and they rushed in aiming at Unknown''s mask. at close range. It is also a surprise attack that specializes in speed. However. Puppupuck! The ice arrows scattered around the mask as powder. "He''s been attacking all over the place, and he''s a tricky guy, as I''ve heard." Let alone a motion to block, he could not even detect a sign that mana was rearranged. The barrier also disappeared without a trace. What is this monster... ? "you ." Jinhyuk was about to say something, but Unknown was one step faster. "It hurts my head in various ways because the silent divinities are rampaging. Olympus and Ragnarok are also a problem, but it''s annoying that they fuse. An ordinary player can''t talk about divinities. There were very few people I met. Even that would be entangled in a perfect hierarchical relationship. resident do you mean No, I don''t know anyone among the residents. A being with such a strange mana... . '' .'' Neither is the manager. Divinity wasn''t even that. There is only one possibility to infer. "Operator ." "Hey, he said he wouldn''t be ignorant at all. I don''t think you need to be frustrated." A bizarre mouth appeared on Unknown''s mask. You can see the creepy red mouth and the teeth protruding between them. "Sae Young Eon-Hwan revealed himself only after revealing his identity, are you saying you are different?" "He''s a ''contemplative''. He prefers to watch without interfering with the trend." "I''m a ''variable maker''. Hmm. How can I explain it? Ah. Yeah. I''d rather say that I prefer to put a little sauce on the existing boredom." One of the viewers who watched the broadcast in the early days. The operator was one of the factors that did not exist in the Tower of Trials in the past. In fact, it was Sae Young Eon Hwan who warned of the change of the 50th floor. then . Who is the guy in front of you? "Can you tell me about your nickname? Still, it''s a BJ you enjoyed once, so can I know the name of the listener?" "I''m sorry for this. It wasn''t polite as a fan. Sure. Nicknames don''t matter." The corners of Unknown''s lips moved upward gently. "Do you remember when I said ''eagle owl''? Of course it is memorable. In the past, viewers who supported all kinds of food on TV. I remember walking Black a few times trying to feed the monster. Damn it. I''m sure I''ll meet that psycho in real life. "I don''t think Sol''s eyes will tell you to eat only Sundae Gukbap. But I don''t think it''s not like someone with a heavy butt, who is like an operator, is trying to sell memories, right?" "The reason I came this far is because I want to be with you in this raid." "...the spring of the sun?" "Yes. There is a reason we must go together." This is where things get complicated. It''s absurd that the operator appeared out of nowhere, but that operator asked to go to the labyrinth on the 23rd floor with you. "What would you do?" "How are you, what are you doing?" I don''t know if this is poison or an apple or not. But one thing is for sure... . It''s just an opportunity to get some clues about the operator''s identity and purpose. "As long as you don''t interfere, it''s always Shadow." Jinhyuk accepted Unknown''s offer. right then "I''m sorry. I''m late. On the way, I met someone for a while, so I was coming together... um?" Cheon Yoo-seong, who was approaching with a brief apology, tilted his head. He found some strange people standing next to Jinhyuk. "Cheon Yoo-seong player .. Wasn''t it you who Jin-hyuk Kang was waiting for?" Snyder''s face contorted. However, Snyder''s misfortune did not end there. It''s only just begun. "Hey, what the hell is this?" When Cheon Yoo-seong came, he met none other than Han Sang-jin. He is the president of the Korean Awakened Association. As much as the scars on his face, the heinous feelings about the current situation were revealed without filtration. I found out that a foreign agent is accusing Jinhyuk, a Korean treasure... . Of course, anger would rise. On the other hand. "Ah ." Snyder shuddered with a look of loss of the world. At least... ! In order not to encounter South Korean government agents, they entered the country secretly and sealed off information thoroughly. In order not to give any reason to get caught up in any way, I put in an unimaginable manpower and capital. All those efforts were in vain. "This is interesting. Mr. Snyder. Is what you are doing now representing the will of the Titan Guild and the American Awakened Association?" "Hey, this is a misunderstanding. We didn''t intend that..." "It''s not intentional, isn''t it? Just looking at it, they''re trying to steal our VIPs?" Snyder was unable to respond to Han Sang-jin''s sullen blasphemy. No matter how strong the United States was, it was incomparable to Korea. If the pods were caught in this way, there was a fear that they would provide various disadvantages in the future relationship. There was someone who saved me from such a desperate situation. "Large! President of the Association. That''s not it, there really was a misunderstanding." It was Jinhyuk. "Are you saying it''s a misunderstanding?" "Yes. Mr. Snyder who came here said he would provide everything for free, with a very compassionate heart for the future of mankind." "No, it''s free...!?" Snyder took a deep breath. "Hey, what does that mean?" "Isn''t it? So, it''s not a misunderstanding, it''s really not a misunderstanding, it''s just that you have a bad heart for me... Well, that''s what it means." Jinhyuk''s eyes went cold. "It''s not me if that''s what it meant " "Yes, don''t stumble and speak slowly. I''m listening." " " If you refute here, you will only be able to show yourself the evidence that you were trying to steal talent from other countries. Even so, if you were to build a stiff pedigree, a catastrophe could occur that became hostile to Jin-hyuk. dilemma situation. finally. " you ate one right. Just take it all. I lost." Snyder gave up on everything and shook his head. Sang-Jin Han and Snyder said they had a little more to tell and moved their seats. Unknown No, the eagle owl also left his seat, saying he had some work to do. Now, you have less than an hour to get to the 23rd floor of the tower. Jinhyuk and Cheon Yuseong checked their equipment and supplies one last time before entering the Tower of Trials. Chunkyung! Cheon Yu-seong, who was wearing a long sword that he had never seen, on his waist, alluded to his luck. "Isn''t Elise-san with you?" "He''s going to fall this time." Elise, Belus and Ophelia. The three ended the story by moving separately to make contact with Eden. ''Kizakiel, who belongs to Eden, has attacked my base, so I''ll be able to use that as an excuse to rip it apart.'' Even if Kizakiel made excuses for being expelled from Eden, it would be enough to just say that it wasn''t my part-time job. Eden, who is hung up on clues about the Necronomicon, will have no choice but to move as this side wants, at least for the time being. "It seems that Teresa-san is busy in Europe and the teachers have also left for Moorim''s business So, it means that you and I will have to conquer the labyrinth together without fail." "Why. Are you anxious about the swordsmanship of the world?" "Anxiety! I just meant not to be vigilant." "Still, isn''t it you with just one sword? In the past, in Moorim what is it, you''ve beaten the plum blossom swordsman of the volcano, right?" "That''s... isn''t that what happened when he came down from the tower under restrictions? And you know that... Chun Yu-seong''s face was crumpled, perhaps because of his pride. "I''m sorry, I really didn''t know." No, you really didn''t know? If you swing it outside, you can''t erase the evidence. really. Jinhyuk hurriedly waved both hands. "You two look happy." The last member of this raid. An eagle owl came in front of the two with their masks on. CH 383 sun spring water (3) Tower of Trials 23rd floor. This stairway under the protection of the Empire belongs to a fairly peaceful axis even in the 50th floor of the tower. This is because the Knights of the Empire have already arranged a significant number of dungeons and labyrinths. However, there were places that even some imperial knights could not control, and one of them was the ''Valley of Eternity'', where ''Sun Spring Water'' flows. A huge scale of about 300 km. This place with 7 lakes was a huge ecosystem where many monsters inhabited. ''It is no exaggeration to say that this valley itself is a labyrinth.'' Jinhyuk looked around carefully. "Cree ." "Gra!" Black bores with 3 m long tusks were seen moving in groups. They are extremely warlike and have the habit of forming groups, making them extremely difficult to hunt. "Are you going to just pass by?" Cheon Yuseong touched the handle of the sword. In any case, it seems that this guy needs to cut off anything he sees to get rid of his temper. What kind of life-saving doctor is this guy doing? tttttttttttttttttttttttttt "You don''t like the corners of your eyes for some reason? Are you not swearing at me inside?" "Wow, what are you talking about? I was just thinking that a reliable colleague would come and I wouldn''t worry about this raid, right?" Jinhyuk averted his gaze. "Your eyes are slightly trembling, and you are lowering them at 10 degrees to the left. This is the symptom that comes out when you lie. There were exactly 293 times like this when I was broadcasting as Colonel Timo." "What kind of stalker are you? Why do you know that?" "It''s a fun combination. There is no time to be bored with the two of you." The eagle owl burst into laughter, as if the situation was unbearably amusing. Instead of the operator, Cheon Yoo-seong was introduced as one of the deceased people he knew in the past. For this reason, Cheon Yu-seong accepted the existence of the eagle owl without saying anything else. Exactly. It was the attitude that anyone would care as long as they didn''t interfere with their work. ''What did you mean to come here?'' Jinhyeok carefully moved along the bushes, while still observing the behavior of the eagle owl. As an operator, players are able to do things that they could not even imagine. In other words, they are those who are in the position of transcendence that surpasses the gods. However. There are things that even such monsters can''t solve on their own. ''I''m going to have to sneak up on it before I attack the labyrinth.'' For now, the priority is to deal with what can be done first. It walked and walked through swarms of black bores, avoiding numerous man-eating plants and insects. The place we finally arrived at was a huge valley. Whoops! When the sound of the waterfall erased all signs, I was finally able to catch my breath. " Is there a hidden passage in this valley that leads to the labyrinth?" "Huh. I think you can get an idea of the location. The key is the problem... ." Jinhyuk''s eyes turned to the water. In the water, the plump crustaceans were moving vigorously. Armored Shrimp. These are the famous items of the Tower of Trials, which live mainly in valleys, and are known for their good taste. The ones on the 23rd floor are particularly large, with one in tens of thousands of them having claws that allow them to enter the labyrinth. "It''s all about finding a needle in the desert. This will take several months." Cheon Yoosung frowned. Out of all these bastards, which one do you know is real? That''s correct. That''s correct, but... . You don''t have to search so ignorantly. "There will be brightly colored fruits. look. Can you see those things growing along the rocks over there?" Thousand Apple. It is a fruit with an extremely hard skin. "Are you saying that I should go fishing with that fruit?" "That''s the favorite food of the Armored Shrimps. But the key, the shrimp, won''t show any interest in the fruit, as it will live forever without eating anything." The one that uses the bait to sort it out is the individual who is not interested in the bait. "Look at the unresponsive one That doesn''t seem easy, but it''s better than no clue at all." "It''s like that. Let''s see. I''d like to collect at least 30 of them. That would be enough." "I get it. Go right away." Cheon Yoosung moved without saying a word. When Cheon Yu-seong left his seat, only Jin-hyeok and the eagle owl were left. Jinhyeok got lucky by installing a trap made of wood. "What do you need to check? Is it that a new hidden piece has been added to the labyrinth?" "You''re asking too openly." "It seemed like there was no other chance. And you let me join the raid, can I tell you this much?" " To see the possibilities." "Possibility?" "okay." The eagle owl replied heavily. "The annoying guy came out. It''s the kind of thing we can''t control. Three operators have already lost their lives to him. There may be more victims in the future." " !?" An eagle owl, who has always taken on a confident and mischievous position on TV, would look like this. Sae Young Eon Hwan also warned of a change in the top of the tower. It''s going to be very different from what I''ve known before. something Something unusual must be happening. "It''s kind of surprising that even an operator can die. I thought you could remove a variable with just one finger." "It is true that we are in a transcendental position, but we cannot go against the system and causality. In fact, it''s too much of a stretch to be with you." "Who the hell is that guy? Surely, it''s not that I''m stronger than Azatos or Shub Nigurus, right?" no matter how it is Outside of those absurd standards, I can''t be stronger than foreign media outlets. no way No way. "I can''t even tell you that. It doesn''t make any sense to tell me. We just want to see. your potential... And will he be able to win the battle against ''that person''? I came here to check out that possibility." The eagle owl closed her mouth after saying that. It''s like drawing a line that is the limit of the information it can provide. I still have a lot of questions, but I have come up with a few things. ''It won''t be an ordinary raid.'' Obviously, there is a high possibility that the eagle owl and the rest of the operators greatly increased the difficulty of this labyrinth. It gives you different challenges from the past, and how to solve them. How about ad hoc and situational judgment skills? To check all of that, the difficulty adjustment was a must-have issue. '' It must be fun.'' Simply climbing the top of the tower again is not enough to motivate you. It is not such a clich that there are incomparable walls to the achievements of games and reality. For the deceased, the newly added content is a greater stimulus than any material reward. How much more if it goes beyond the operator who designed this tower... . It''s bound to get even more interesting. right then "I brought everything." Cheon Yu-seong, who went to pick fruit, returned. There seemed to be more than 30 fruits in the bosom. "great. Shall we start slowly?" Jinhyuk held a Thousand Apple in his hand. After making a cross-shaped cut exactly 3.6 cm below the center, it was immersed in the valley water. This is how you make the juice spread the fastest. ur ur. The iron-clad Shrimps who smelled the fruit rushed into the pot. "You just have to repeat this." "The response was better than I expected. It''s hard to get the key to the labyrinth. Were you stingy?" No way. It is true that this fruit is effective, but the problem is . It''s not just the iron-clad shrimp that the sweetness of the fruit tempts you. "This is the beginning." right at that moment. Koo! The whole valley shook. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! The water in the deep part of the water fluctuated violently, and a huge leg came out. The giant octopus, which was about ten meters tall, began to run wild. Kwajik! The black legs instantly turned the place where the three of them had been to a mop. "Damn it!" Cheon Yu-seong immediately drew his sword. Moorim''s unique characters were subtly revealed along the blade. That''s... ? When I said where I put the plum sword and brought a new one, did I get that magic sword? [Yo sword ''Ryuhwa ()'' wakes up!] This is the sword that Chuhonsayeong used. To be precise, it must have been that Cheon Yu-seong tamed it because it was so yogi and kept it. ''That''s what I was going to use as bait for him later. No matter how talented you are, you already have perfect control.'' Seeing that he is one of the top five recruits in all Moorim, it''s ridiculous. "I will take care of the octopus! You keep installing traps!" "Do not work too hard. Because that guy''s defense is beyond imagination." "under! Are you worried about me now?" Cheon Yoosung smiled confidently. The yogi that resides in Ryuhwa can not only ignore the defense, but also has a special ability that can continuously worsen the wound. It means that the effects are huge enough to offset the shortcomings that can be encroached on by yogis. However. Aww! "Is it big?" Cheon Yu-seong, who was trying to cut off the leg of the octopus, felt something was wrong. "What is this ?" "So you said. Don''t overdo it." Originally, Ryuhwa would have been able to cut off those thick legs with a single sword. Even if there was no sword, the sword itself had deceptive specs. ''Really, you''ve raised the difficulty like crazy.'' It wasn''t an easy raid, but... . This raid is going to be damn difficult in many ways. The point where a force and the realm of a force overlap. The 44th floor was managed by Eden, a giant power on the upper floors. And the reason I set foot in this place called the sanctuary, where everyone is reluctant to approach... . It was a clan with silver hair and red eyes. "Im here. load." Belus pointed to the entrance where the white walls were stretched. "This place is just so damn big and grand. What the hell are you spending so much money on?" Elise grunted and looked around. "It''s really crazy. everyone is crazy Eden is hostile to vampires, but what am I supposed to do with the wrong line so far... . And that''s only three. In your opponent''s stronghold... ha ha... ." Ophelia muttered resigning herself from everything. "Please, be quiet, Ophelia. What are those winged idiots afraid of? It''s something I''ve never seen before." "Whoa. That was when Lord was the head of Ataraxia. It''s really dangerous right now... ." "Anyway, the Decasians are afraid. Isn''t it 6 o''clock now? Why is this guy breaking his appointment time arbitrarily? ." right then "Forgive me for being late. Elise." An angel with beautiful wings appeared in front of the wall. Long blonde hair with a soft impression. He was a man with a smile that made the viewer feel better. "Where is Gabriel going and why you Ah. Angels are all the same, so you can''t tell them apart. What was your name?" "My name is Hatoel. Gabriel is waiting inside." "inside? Wasn''t the meeting supposed to be held at the border?" Belus protested immediately. "I''m sorry, but things have gotten a little complicated. If you want to meet Gabriel, you have to go inside." only. "The rest will have to wait here. As I said. Things are getting a little more complicated right now." Only one Elise can enter. "What nonsense!" "Do not be ridiculous!" Belus and Ophelia shouted at the same time. No matter how formal the meeting is, the forces of the dark attribute cannot enter the realm of the divine forces. That alone too. " ." Alice''s face hardened, too. "You have to make a decision now. What would you like to do?" CH 384 Solar Spring (4) - Elise. Then, I''ll trust you. You can accept whatever the outcome is. So don''t be too burdened. Understand? okay. The contractor trusted it. It doesn''t matter if you succeed or fail. But that belief cannot be deviated from the beginning. " ." Elise clenched her fists. The risk has risen so much that it cannot be compared with what we had previously decided to do... . "I will do that." The word give up won''t come out of my mouth even if I die. great. Then, the rest of you, please wait here. It won''t take long." At Hatoel''s words, Belus and Ophelia immediately protested. "Are you really okay? It could be a trap." "It''s sympathetic. That''s the one who changed the plan anyway. We have plenty of things to say when we go back." "You guys are just waiting for me to come. It''s an order from the head of the household." " All right. load." "If you decide to do that, you have no choice but to follow there isn''t go carefully Because I don''t want to lose the head of the house I serve twice." Elise followed Hatoel. Chunkyung! Not the front door, but the side door hidden between the golden leaves opened. It was a measure to prevent the exposure of Elise''s existence to other angels. "Oh." Alice entered the room and looked around. The sanctuary where thousands of angels gathered was a spectacular sight in itself. The sacred and splendid buildings and the thousands of armies protecting them were not lacking in the adjective that they were the strongest. However, the thing that stimulates the senses the most is . Again, it was the magic that flowed out of the small house in the corner of the alley. Jerrit! Jerrit! A stinging energy transmitted through the skin. You can find out without even asking Hatoel. As for Gabriel in there. "Isn''t it me?" Yes. waiting for you Let''s go first. I''ll take a look around and follow you in. okay. Alice entered the house. In the small room, an archangel smiling brightly was sipping tea. " Hospitality is not good. At least I thought I''d put that eerie divine power in and wait. "Fufu. Sorry about this. I wrote that I care, because instinct is unavoidable. If it''s the head of Ataraxia, who once wiped out our clan, shouldn''t we be more careful?" "Anyway, you will." Alice exhaled coldly and pulled out a letter from her arms. "It''s a letter from the contractor. They say that there is a clue as to what the book is or what you are looking for." " !" Gabriel''s face changed in an instant. The bright expression on his face is gone, and only greed and instinct are shining eyes. Now that the clues to the treasure I''ve been looking for for a long time come to my eyes, of course my composure will be shaken. Ah! Get your dirty hands away. First of all, do you have something to give?" widely! Elise mercilessly struck Gabriel''s hand as it reached out. " This is the information you want to know, Jinhyuk Kang. Memories of Hasting''s past are recorded." Gabriel placed the blue jewel on the table. ''A stone that holds memories''. This is a special item that can only be played once. With this, the exchanges that the two factions wanted were gathered in one place. [Gabriel is Lv?? Activates the ''balance that forms the horizon''!] A golden scale appeared above Gabriel and Elise''s heads. A sealed letter on one of the scales. And in the other place, a ''stone with memories'' went up. A sacred scale that judges each other''s authenticity and compares their values. If you use this skill, there is no room for any irregularities in trading. In fact, the two pieces of information had a similar level of value. ''A clue about the Necronomicon... It means only a small part of it.'' Gabriel nodded as if expected. If it had been a perfect clue, it would have been even weirder. However, since I was able to get out of the deadlock where there was no clue at all, it would be a lot more business. right then "But I told you to tell me this." Elise added a word. "What do you mean?" "Because Kizakiel ran wild in the fortress of giants, the damage was quite large. I wish you could add compensation for that damage." then ! Kizakiel is a fallen angel who was banished from our side before this happened. But how can you hold us accountable for that?" "Oh, I don''t know. I''m just delivering what the contractor told me to tell you. Or, what? Are you going to overturn this deal altogether? Do you think it will only hurt your mouth if you tell me who is at the loss?" Alice pretended to tear up the letter. "Come on, wait a minute!" It was Gabriel''s side that became urgent. "If it''s a reward What are you talking about?" "Ugh. there''s nothing wrong with it It''s just that we''re going to restore everything that our fortress has been destroyed and provide support until it becomes a large stronghold? big Do you think that makes sense since it''s your base?" "Okay." don''t be The corners of Alice''s lips went up. - Push hard. as usual. Then, conditionally, it works. The urgent thing is Eden''s side. I have already gained confidence through Jinhyuk. All that''s left is to keep pushing the opponent. puddle. An eerie sound escaped Gabriel''s mouth. " All right. Let''s add that contract as well." sloppy The scale was sharply tilted to one side. It was an unfair contract by anyone, but Gabriel had no choice but to accept the offer to eat mustard weeping. great. This is it." Alice got up from her seat as if there was nothing more to see. But, at that very moment. Whoa! Wow! A powerful magical energy began to surge along the fortress. A warning sound reminiscent of a siren also shook up the whole of Eden. "They must have noticed an intruder." you ." "This is really not intentional. As Hatoel has already said, internal problems have grown a bit on our side as well." Gabriel shrugged. "But, don''t worry too much. If the fact that we made a contract with vampires spreads, we get in trouble as well. Hatoel." Yes. "Please get Alice out of Eden safely." all right. If you hurry, you may find a secret passage that has not yet been blocked." "Sheesh! I can''t." Elise quickly left her seat. "Oh, I almost forgot to give this to you." Gabriel handed him a red apple. Not an ordinary apple. At first glance, it has an unusual aura... . good and evil. Or First Apple. Although it is called in several meanings, it was one of the top-level special items that symbolized Eden. "This give it to me?" "When you are alone with your loved one. If you eat this apple, you can make that person Ellis-sama''s." binding force with absolute judgment. If this is... . Of course, Jinhyuk will also pass. Of course, you shouldn''t have one, but I''m giving it to you to test how effective it is. "Hey, do you think I''m going to use this disgraceful method? I can make him fall for me with all my strength!" "Hmm. Are your eyes fluttering when you say that? Why are you breathing heavily while drooling again?" "My, when am I!" "Huhu. Anyway. We look forward to seeing you again. As the head of Ataraxia." Gabriel smiled and said goodbye. Aww! bang! bang! bang! Black legs smashed rocks without mercy. Damn it! what Such reckless... Octopus... You mean there!" Cheon Yu-seong moved his body like crazy and avoided the attack. The horse is octopus, it almost looks like a machine gun. Even though he was moving with all his might, it was not easy to dodge. "How long are you going to install that trap?" wait. Be confident and let go of yourself... . I last fought him for 15 minutes." under! only 15 minutes? If you are 15 minutes, I can do 30 minutes." 30 minutes Is this possible against that monster? Nonsense. Would that be impossible?" Jinhyuk stuttered with a surprised expression. "Leave it. I''ll show you that I''m different from you. Cuckoo Cuckoo! [Cheon Yuseong activates his unique ability ''Sword Song''!] Cheon Yu-seong squeezed all his magical power and swung Ryuhwa. Aww! The yogi''s sword collided head-on with the octopus''s leg. ''After all, it''s easy to deal with people with high self-esteem and fools.'' Among them, the easiest to deal with is a barbarian with high self-esteem. Just like that guy. Jinhyeok hummed and pulled out an iron-clad shrimp from outside the pot. Unlike other Shrimps, the shape of its claws is slightly curved and large. This guy is the key to entering the labyrinth. And I already got the key, but the reason I''m rolling the sky like that... . It was because there was not enough food to eat in the labyrinth. ''There are so many delicious ingredients out there, there''s no need to go inside and eat garbage.'' Let''s see... . That guy over there with a black line on his back seems to have a lot of rusty sweetness. That guy hasn''t finished spawning yet, so it must be very oily. While Cheon Yoo-seong was fighting with his life, Jin-hyuk selected the 7 most delicious iron-clad shrimp and stored them in the subspace inventory. next . Jinhyuk''s gaze turned towards the valley. The deepest looking puddle. Below that floor is the entrance to the labyrinth. "You can stop fighting now! Come this way!" Chin-hyeok shouted and jumped into the water. In an instant, cold water engulfed his body. The cold was so intense that it even frozen his head, but his mind was surprisingly intact. Jinhyuk swam familiarly. down. until you reach the bottom of the valley. I saw an eagle owl and Cheon Yu-seong following me from behind. Also the giant legs of the octopus. have to hurry If you don''t know anything else, encountering that giant octopus in the water could be really dangerous. Pogrr! Cheon Yu-seong''s mouth opened violently. Pointing to the suckers that are chasing from behind. damn it I know too. If you don''t open the door right away, you''re in trouble. ''Claws... Insert it into the gap and turn it clockwise 23 degrees... .'' shudder! I knew it. It''s about fitting the key correctly. [The labyrinth ''Valley of Eternity Where the Sun Can''t Reach'' is open!] The bottom of the valley opens. A bright light flashed out. At the same time, everyone''s eyes turned white. "Cool! Cool!" "Whew It was close." He succeeded in entering the labyrinth by a margin of error. If it was even a little late, Cheon Yu-seong would have turned into octopus rice. However. There is no bird that is safe. This is the most vicious labyrinth on the 23rd floor. From now on, you have to think of everything in this as a trap aimed at you. ''However, no matter how high the difficulty level, if you know the basic strategy, you can attack it enough.'' Jinhyuk wiped the water off his body. However. "You seem to think we raised the difficulty... ." The silent eagle owl opened its mouth. "There seems to be some misunderstanding there." "What does that mean?" "It is true that this is no ordinary labyrinth. But, it wasn''t us who made this place so alien... ." Chunkyung! Koo! One by one, monsters wrapped around their bodies with strange skins appeared. "It''s because of the guy I was talking about." "Damn it. when... ! Jinhyuk Kang!" Cheon Yoosung shouted. CH 385 Solar Spring (5) looks really weird One arm was shaped like a shield. The other arm was surrounded by monsters that looked like spears. There are only three, but all of them look unusual. Besides, I could feel a new sign from afar. As time goes on, the number of enemies will increase. " What are these?" Cheon Yu-seong took a step backwards while holding Ryuhwa tightly. It''s not just a matter of being strong or weak. The eerie sense of incongruity clinging to the nerves was so terrifying that goosebumps could not arise. ''Is this the first test?'' The Eagle Owl can''t help. In the first place, they would be bound by the constraints of the system, so it couldn''t be. In the end, it is said that it is up to the two of them to overcome this situation. The ''Eyes of Gluttony'' pierced through the target. [Regulus - Variant Species] Level: 85 / ? - It is not possible to confirm the existing / present. Risk Difficulty: Unmeasurable Remarks: Basically, it has high physical defense and magic defense. However, due to the undefined aura, the exact details cannot be grasped. expected it The fact that it would fit in with a different dimension from those in the existing labyrinth. okay. You have to taste it to see how good it is." Indeed, how powerful are the things he has prepared. Why are eagle owls and other operators so concerned? Now is the time to check it out. Jinhyuk stretched Barnard forward. Pachis! A dark red black river erupted. "Fight one by one. Because they are not formidable." "In that case, there is no end. Didn''t I say you only have 4 days to find the sun''s spring or something? "It is, but ." I''ll turn the time off, so you have a driveway inside. Guys like this can survive on their own." Hey! for a moment ." Goes! Cheon Yu-seong left the seat without hearing an answer. One sword. The blue light that traversed horizontally became a torrent. However, Aww! Regulus deflected the sword from the front. Even though the fakes were mixed 7 times, the real thing was accurately distinguished. "It''s pretty good." Cheon Yoo-seong''s ''Sword of Souls'' was a herbivore. The gentle and subjugating sword attack continued again. This time it''s not fake, but everything you see is real and real. Dozens or hundreds of swords were scattered. Kak kak kak! "Kie-e-e!" He covered himself with a huge shield, but Ryuhwa of Cheonyuseong tenaciously penetrated the gap. In an instant, the whole body turned to blood. Cheon Yooseong grabbed Regulus''s back to catch his last breath. It was a sneak attack that erased even the presence from the perfect blind spot. Boo-woong! The moment the sword points towards the nape of the neck. Regulus''s spear disappeared like lightning. counter. It is a precise stab, as if it were measured with a ruler. The spear, which was flooded with one point, dug into the space before the self-defense force was fully activated. Puffy! With a terrifying shattering sound, Cheon Yoosung grabbed his shoulders and rolled his body. "Wow! What the hell is the entrance to the labyrinth all stuffed with stuff like this? Really, why do you always come with me? ." "I told you not to be so vigilant." This guy was also very calm and heavy at first. I don''t know how this happened. ''If you hadn''t gone with me, you would have been praised as the strongest wherever you went.'' Thinking about it like that makes me a little sad. "Are you okay?" "A bit of a wound Okay. Even if you weren''t careful... ." ok bitch. The wind hole on the shoulder is a serious injury that makes it impossible to continue the battle. Well, thanks to that, I saw well in advance what to be careful about. "I''m resting quietly while drinking even a recovery potion." This time, Jinhyuk moved. fast and light. tuk. Jinhyuk, who entered the wrong beat, swung the barnard. Again, this time, Regulus received a small attack with a shield, and watched the timing to launch a counter. "Koooooooo!" Is this what it means to be victimized even though you know it? Although he didn''t blink an eye, Chang was approaching Jinhyuk''s heart. If other top rankers had been attacked by this attack, they would have been stunned. But, Being here right now is not just a ranker. Kaaan! Offset. The tip of the spear, which was driven in a straight line, collided with the tip of Barnard''s sword at a single point. Quad Duck! Cracks like a tortoise shell appeared on the spear blade. As if to tell which side''s magical power is overwhelmingly superior. "Are you big?" "It''s not a big deal if the counter can read only the timing." No matter how fast and terrifying it may be, there is no reason to fear as long as its orbit and speed have been detected. Whoops! Barnard pierced Regulus''s neck. Red blood gushed out like a fountain. However. "Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Regulus did not fall even though he suffered a critical blow. I wondered if the red eyes were flashing, but rather, it started to run more violently. three at the same time. They all turned into Berserkers and attacked Jinhyuk. ''Isn''t this the way that if I hurt one animal, it becomes a trigger and makes them all strong?'' bang! Quang! Chang smashed the entire wall behind Jinhyuk''s back. The word ignorant is a blow that comes out of nowhere. Whoops! Scratch! Barnard cut the bodies of Regulus again, but it still had no effect. Whether it pierces your heart or pierces your throat. Because they were like zombies who continued to attack as if they did. Jinhyuk''s pulse was beating fast. How long have you been feeling? The tension and excitement of finding a strategy against a pesky foe? ''Obviously, there must be some way out .'' Jinhyuk carefully observed the opponent''s movements. right then Something caught my senses. A faintly continuous red thread. Not only was it invisible to the naked eye, but it was only barely noticeable by maintaining extreme concentration. In fact, it was undoubtedly connected between the three. Was it like that? The three share a single magical power and are in a symbiotic relationship. Instead of cutting them down one by one, it means that you can only end this endless battle by cutting all of them at the same time. Of course, knowing the strategy did not solve everything. It was not an easy task to simultaneously slash those who had passed while maintaining a perfect distance from each other. However. There was still no tension in Jinhyuk''s face. stronger than this. It has come up against heavier and more absurd enemies. Only about this... . ''Heavenly Demon Goddess''. A terrifying power surged. Dare to be, one of the absolutes that even the beings of the upper classes could not take carelessly. A thousand demons called the catastrophe of ten thousand horses unfolded. Cuckoo Cuckoo! Although he was not wearing the ''Crown of Doom'', his magic power of over 400 made the feast of the Heavenly Demon God Gong unfiltered. "Let''s see if we can move on again this time." ''Yeongjong (K), unknown one island''. Three misaligned lines crossed the diagonal line. No rhetoric needed. Just a sword for slicing alone. Scratch! The three Regulus were gradually divided into two parts with their armor. Koo! The severed upper and lower body collapsed in different directions. "Whoa." Jinhyuk let out a small sigh. and. Cheon Yu-seong, who watched all the battles from beginning to end, bit his lip in a complicated mood. The hand that was holding Ryuhwa also trembled slightly. The realm of the heavenly stream. Three things stronger than any other named monster... . I''m sure it''ll be gone so quickly, too. Thinking about how he grunted against even one animal, a sense of self-doubt surged. ''How far do you really want to grow?'' Just when he received a new recruit symbolizing Moorim from Chuhonsayeong, his confidence pierced the sky. Training to cut bones, and growth without mistakes based on memories of the past. A good teacher and a weapon that prides itself on being the strongest. Now I''m convinced it''s worth a try, but... . The result is always this. Just like chasing an unreachable mirage, when he arrived after chasing the shadows, he was faced with his eternal thirst. I had no idea when this damn Mobius strip could ever break. right then Jinhyuk, who wiped the blood off his knife, approached. "Why are you sitting with such a fat expression? Do you want to drink every potion first?" " It''s nothing." Cheon Yu-seong hurriedly turned his head. The car washes so cold wind blows. If only the cheeks were inflated a little, it would look like an elementary school student with a bulging face. "But thanks to you coming out and hitting them, things went smoothly." "My attack You mean it worked?" "You didn''t even know? Were the loopholes exposed here and there because of the slaughter sword?" also Also, that was it. Somehow, I thought it was too easy to win. fufu. I wasn''t weak. Maybe I''m done." The corner of Cheon Yu-seong''s mouth twitched subtly. With this, I succeeded in relieving the mood of one crooked little boy. night in the labyrinth. The first day''s raid ended here. Cheon Yoo-seong''s wounds were deeper than expected, and the intention was to approach it a little more carefully due to the new variables. Jinhyuk and the eagle owl sat down in front of the bonfire. Jinhyeok, who was cooking the iron-clad shrimp, opened his mouth. "I had a lot of time just for the two of us. May I ask you some questions?" "If you can give me an answer, I will tell you." "I am still a little unfamiliar with the concept of an operator. Are the senior managers obeying your orders? Are you also managing foreign media?" At Jinhyuk''s words, the eagle owl stroked his chin. surely I think we need to clear things up a bit. There are parts of our relationship that are a little ambiguous. I would like to take this opportunity to point it out precisely." Whoa! A holographic tower appeared in front of the eagle owl. With the low-level manager Kaman I saw the other day... Rick, one of the middle managers. I also saw the faces of the senior managers, Hasting and Bendivia. Looking at the holograms with only their heads sticking out like this, they all seem a little cute. "Managers are those who manage the entire tower It can be seen that The main task is to make sure that there are no problems with all the little things happening in the tower and on each floor." Observing the right to stair movement and conflicts between powers, and intervening when necessary. That was the purpose of the manager''s existence. Of course, among them, the upper, middle, and lower classes are divided according to the authority each has. The hologram shattered, and this time a sphere with a red mouth appeared on a pure white surface. They are the operators, including Sae Young Eon Hwan and Eagle Owl. "Our operators are the ones who built the tower. Managers are either chosen by ourselves or naturally selected by the system, but basically, the final authority on the tower is given to us." Tower of Trials. Create a huge world with 50 floors. The first virtual reality game that Jinhyuk played was also created by the operators. "Finally, foreigners. That is, they are what are called primitive beings. They are not classified into the category of ''variables'' outside of the specification. You''ve also dealt with them, so you probably know better than anyone what level they are." Obviously, because they were subordinate to the tower, they were beings located below the managers, but because of their absurdly strong power, even the senior managers could not treat them rudely. It can only impose restrictions as a system alone. For this reason, they stayed on the last steps of the tower, serving as the last gateway against those who attempted to climb to the top of the tower. and ." The eagle owl opened its mouth slowly. "He is the one who is free from all that." The most important information is starting to emerge. CH 386 Labyrinth Gatekeeper (1) Finally, the boy''s story came out. "We call him the ''designer'' or ''the first operator''. Everything is him, and he is everything." "You speak very vaguely. Are you referring to the majority of the power as ''he''? Or do you mean he has various titles?" Well. It is difficult for us to give an exact definition. In fact, the concept itself is ambiguous. I''d like to be more specific, but as you can see... My hands and feet are half-tied." The eagle owl glanced up at the sky. Pants... . Foul! Blue sparks were rising in the sky. You must have already reached the limit of the system. "One last thing, he has one troublesome ability. I got the power to break the old rules and rebuild the tower according to my own rules." " Is such a nonsensical thing possible?" "Didn''t you see with your own eyes that this labyrinth was actually transformed? Of course, he''s still not at the level where he can completely control his power, but it''s just a matter of time. One day, everything that exists in the tower will collapse." The eagle owl calmly told the truth. " ." The more time passes, the more dangerous it becomes. Certainly, it is not something to be taken lightly. If it''s the ability to destroy the foundation of the tower, it''s natural for the operators to be scared. It was only now that I understood what Sae Young-eon-hwan warned about. "How much time do you have left?" "It''s a very difficult skill, so it will take at least two years. Maybe it will take longer than that." 2 years. A shadow fell on Jinhyuk''s face. Will it be possible to climb to the top of the tower in two years? This is a very short time compared to the past. No matter how much you monopolize the company and rule out mistakes. " Until then, I must be strong more than now." okay. need to grow more. And clearing this labyrinth is probably the first gateway." "I know what you mean." I got a lot of useful information in many ways. What to do next... . Thanks, I got a bit of a feel for it. rapidly changing vision. Unfamiliar places continued, but there was no room for rest. "Ha ha ha ha ha ." Elise took a deep breath. I don''t know how far I ran. It''s been a few hours since I''ve been chasing Hatoel''s tail. The reins of the pursuit have been tightened even more. That much stamina and mana approached the floor. Because he was acting far away from Jinhyeok, the limited mana he could receive also played a big part. ''I really should have sucked a lot of blood... .'' on that soft neck. piercing sharp fangs. He had to replenish his magical power. "Why are you panting all alone? Like a hound with meat in front of him." Hatoel looked at Elise with suspicious eyes. "My, when am I! Where else could there be an alternative entrance?" "It''s almost over. You just have to go a little further." Hatoel, who was carefully looking around, grabbed Elise''s wrist. for a moment !" Why? "There is a barrier right in front of you. Judging by the drink, it was brand new, less than 10 minutes old." "Can''t I see anything?" "It is a trap only visible to angels. I used a special divine power to defend against outside invaders." If anyone crosses that line, battle angels will be summoned. In the end, even the last exit was blocked off. " ." Hatoel bit her lip as if in trouble. "Hey, what made the inside of Eden become so thinly iced? It used to be a more comfortable and comfortable atmosphere." "There are internal circumstances." So. What is that internal matter? If things get to this point, shouldn''t I know something? Elise pushed harder once more. Then, Hatoel let out a long sigh. They wanted to avoid revealing their secrets, but as the saying goes, they can''t hide it forever. Because Elise has already put her feet in this gutter. "Due to Kizakiel''s betrayal, a disciplinary committee was convened in Eden. The horse was a meeting place, actually a place to make judgments." However. "When the trial was held, there were more angels supporting him than I expected." How long must Eden defend harmony and balance and endure the tyranny of evil forces? Does Eden really deserve to be the owner of the tower? The argument that Kizakiel cried out grew stronger and stronger. From now on, we will not respect the positions of other factions. Towards the direction that we should act solely for the benefit of Eden. "It completely changed the temperature of Eden." It was an instant that the moderate group, which had been the trend, was swaying. The archangels, including Michael and Gabriel, were silent. Instead, radical angels, including Uriel and Raphael, took action. Although it did not go as far as the catastrophe of expelling the opposition, the forces other than Eden had begun to be brutally cut out. " That''s why I and my blood relatives shouldn''t be known." Yes. Gabriel-sama will also be in trouble if this is known." I know roughly what the situation is. Elise thought deeply. If this is the case... How would the contractor act? You must have found the best way... . ha. I do not know. Elise messed up her hair. It''s not my taste to think and roll my head. It''s aptitude to just act according to your instincts. "Then I will destroy all of Uriel and Raphael or whatever, so let''s form an official alliance with us. how? Yes? Hatoel''s eyes widened. I don''t know what the hell this vampire is talking about. no way . "Gee, are you saying that we should start a civil war now?" Huh. A faction cannot have more than one head. There is no consensus of opinion. It''s easy to get hit in the back." Advice from experience. When multiple powerful people share power equally, problems will inevitably arise. We''re just pretending we don''t know each other. Dissatisfaction and emotions are inevitably accumulating. "So, let''s go out and meet my contractor. Destroying annoying bastards is our contractor''s specialty and hobby." does not make sense No, wait. What are you going to do now?" "If you decide, you have to get out of here. After all, if you procrastinate, your magic power will run out and you will be like a mouse in a poison." Elise broke her joint. It was not a secret passage, but the intention to blow up the fortress and go outside. "Wow, if you run wild here, Gabriel-sama will be in trouble too! Did you really hear what I said... !" "I''m sorry, but we''ve already been on the same boat. Now it''s all or nothing." Hatoel screamed, but it was after Elise raised her magic power. [The unique ability ''Blood Lord'' will be unlocked!] Cuckoo Cuckoo! Drops of red blood gushed out in all directions. Even though the supply of mana was not smooth, a storm of unimaginable power raged. Now everyone in Eden will know. Here, one of the heads of the vampire family has entered their realm. "Ugh. Somehow, I feel chills." Jinhyuk touched his trembling body. It''s not that the temperature is low, but somehow the chill permeated my bones. "Did a new enemy appear again?" Cheon Yoo-seong''s eyes twinkled. Perhaps he remembered the pain of yesterday, the hand holding the sword was unusual. "No, it''s not like that, because something ominous is about to happen Probably, it won''t matter." "Sheesh. Don''t make people nervous about nothing. Even if it doesn''t, I''m nervous. Day 2 of entering the labyrinth. Thanks to treatment with advanced potions and ''Blessing of the Stars'', Cheon Yu-seong was able to regain his condition. Because of that, he had now entered quite a deep place. ''Anyway, it''s time to come out .'' Definitely right in front of you... Ah! found! Among the valleys, strangely shaped stone statues were seen. "Is that the stone statues you have been singing like that since yesterday?" right. Commonly known as ''the guardian of nature''. To get to the boss room, you had to get the ''resistance stone'' from there. The way the different attribute magic rushes is because even the seeds did not work with any stats or armor. ''So the knights of the Empire also gave up here and returned.'' The firepower that even armor with anti-magic defenses cannot withstand. No matter how long the sword masters fly, the amount of mana they have in their body is a fixed law. Jinhyuk and Cheon Yuseong approached the stone statue. Then at that very moment. "Are you a new challenger?" "Hmm. Three guys... ." "Kick kick. The numbers are just right." Three statues awakened. ''Stone of Fire''. ''A stone statue of water''. ''The Stone Statue of the Wind''. The stone statues wearing necklaces made of each resistance stone groaned. "We are one of the guardians of this labyrinth. It looks like you came here to get a resistance stone... Am I right? The stone statues of fire opened their mouths on behalf of the statues. "Well, that''s what I came here for. I heard that you can only get what you wear around your neck if you pass the test you gave." "Hey. Did you buy information from those knights?" "Kick! I can''t give you a useless explanation. "Then the story will be quick. Solve each of our assignments. If so, I''ll hand it over to you as you like. only. "For every failed task, I will accept the life of one of you as the price. Would you still try?" Do whatever you feel like. Jinhyuk shrugged. A contract was made with that. A sword with a colorful pattern appeared in front of Jinhyuk and Cheon Yuseong. As the stone statue of fire said. If you fail, the sword with the effect of absolute judgment will pierce your heart. great. Let''s start." The stone statue of fire unfolded the durumagi he was holding in his hand. [Test of Fire] Content: To handle fire is to understand the purest and most beautiful properties of fire. Among them, if you can subjugate the fire spirits with strong pride, you can get the ''Qualification of Fire''. However, the size of the resistance stone given depends on the number of spirits that can be obeyed. Whoops! I wondered if the flames would gather, and small lizards appeared. fluttering tongue. Dozens of salamanders showed their hostility. "Shh!" "Kyao!" They''re only low-level guys, but the numbers aren''t a joke. To the extent that some spirit warriors run away without starting their tails. "Can I just cut them all off?" Cheon Yoo-seong chose Ryu-hwa. wait. It''s not something that can be done by force alone." Simply taking a picture and pressing it is definitely one of the methods. However, if they did, they would not be able to obtain real credentials. A spirit that has been subdued by force must have animosity. ''It''s not perfect to subjugate through Mentra Timing.'' Manipulating intimacy was also a 1% insufficient solution. In fact, in the past, I had failed to get the best resistance stone here. then . I''ll just have to use a more certain way. The corner of Jinhyuk''s lips went up. "Salamander. Come out for a second." "Boo, did you call me, Master?" From the subspace inventory, the plump spiritsu rushed out. CH 387 Labyrinth Gatekeeper (2) Salamander. The fire spirit beast, the lizard, is famous for being warlike, but among them, the Salamander belonging to the Goin Corporation was different. Whoops! Red flames fluttering across your lips. A hot dread ignited the air. "Kyao!" The salamander roared wildly. It was as if a dragon''s pier had hit him with his bare body, and fear engulfed his whole body. That''s not the spirit water. In the form of a fire spirit... it''s dragon At least, it seemed that way to the eyes of the Salamander summoned by the Fire Statue. "Kyao. What is that monster?" "Sa, is it a high-level spirit beast?" "I thought we were all the fire spirits contracted here ." radish I''m sad." The salamanders who were in charge of the exam trembled all over. A being that was many times more powerful than theirs came out, so of course they were terrified. Of course, if it wasn''t for the other person''s kind, they would have rushed in without a second thought. Because it was a characteristic of the Fire Spirit to attack without covering the fire. But, I''m sure the opponent is the same Salamander, and it''s also a higher species. The embarrassment was the same with the stone statue of fire that had been tested. "What, what? Are you a human who can handle spirit beasts?" Besides You''re pretty high-level, aren''t you? "It''s a spirit sage. I had never met him in the Empire." Each of the statues uttered a single word. Seeing everyone was surprised, I felt the reward of raising the spirit beasts with confidence. stumbling tummy. Jinhyuk patted Salamander''s head. ''Well, I raised these guys with affection and love.'' So is it? It seems that the growth is notable. "Lord, master, what can I do?" "I''m taking a test or something right now, and I have to get them to obey. However, I don''t think I''m a pacifist who wields violence." "It is. Because the master loves peace." "So, you know how to convince them." persuade? I? what how?" Hey Do I have to say that with my mouth?" "Hey. sorry. I was wrong." The salamander raised her tiny hands and pretended to protect her head. Anyone who sees it will know that they are really trying to hit him. "Why? How good is our company''s employee welfare. how well you are treated Try messing around with something like that. It won''t be that hard to say if you tell me what it is. Voluntary conciliation would be the best option. Jinhyeok intended to pass the test of fire through his fellow salamander. ''If I tell you the truth, my master will kill me. never die I can''t tell the truth.'' Sometimes you have to lie to live. ''I''ll have to say the exact opposite of the situation I''m in.'' The salamander in charge of the great work stood in front of the crowd of spirit beasts. Everyone''s attention was focused. "Everyone signed a contract and came to a place like this and suffered a lot. In poor conditions, I''ll give you as much fire as a rat''s tail. Besides, what are the working hours? Do you work without a break?" "How did you know that?" "Well, if you pretend, you pretend. see you again The terms of the contract would say 24/7. Day or night, if the contractor wants it, he''ll have to jump right out. Other than that, there will be mountains of bad things." " !?" affection Exactly." "That was my daily routine yesterday!" Everyone rolled their eyes. Asking how they correctly understand their plight. "I also signed a contract with such a vicious contractor in the beginning. I was really struggling back then. But now I am completely in heaven." Goin Corporation is different. "Then, how well the master well Whoa. You''re good. look. I grew up like this because I ate well and slept well." Provides abundant magic power and relaxation. Support from strong colleagues. If you work together, you are guaranteed not only the retirement age, but also old age and post-mortem. Seeing the plump belly and the sparkling sparks of splendor, strangely added credibility. "You really like it?" like that? "Can we eat as much as we want and escape from the lower spirits?" The salamanders lit up their eyes. "Wow! What are you doing now! Don''t forget the contract we made. That means you guys have a contract with our Labyrinth Lord!" The stone statue of fire shrieked, but there was no way for the salamanders who had already turned their eyes to hear such nagging. "I, Nana! I will go!" "From me!" "I''m going to break this contract right now!" The spirit beasts shouted surrender, both you and me. [Received the approval of the fire spirits.] [Many Salamanders show a high affinity for you.] [Passed the ''Test of Fire''.] great. It''s very easy." Jinhyuk smiled brightly. Because of his good conduct, things were really easy. "It''s so absurd ." "It''s pretty good." done. You just passed the first gate anyway. Let me finish on my line. No luck this time." A stone statue of water came out. Woo woo woo! Along with the tornado spray, more water spirits appeared this time. As higher-ranking species with larger and more powerful magic than the Salamanders. "Fufu! Water and fire are opposite to each other. No matter how much I try to open my mouth this time, it will be of no use." Obviously, the presence of a spirits among those taking the test was an unexpected variable. But, that''s all. In front of the spirit beasts of the Sanggeuk, no matter how high an intermediate level spirit beast is, he will not be able to withstand it. "I''ll finish it right away. Human puppies." The stone statue of water had a fishy smile. And that expectation... . "Lucky. come out. The next words were shattered. Among tamers, only a small number of tamers are able to change jobs. Talented people gathered and so-called geniuses showed off their worth... . Only a handful of sand could advance to the Spirit Temple. In fact, even those who have been living in the tower for a long time are less than 100 living as spirits. And even the superior spirits were very few at the same time signing two or more intermediate or higher spirit beasts. Three or more were so few that they left history. However. What the hell is that absurd bastard? A whopping five spirit beasts. They are all monsters composed of intermediate and above. Because of this, all the spirit beasts who worked hard to prepare for the test were passed on to their opponents. "Wow, what is this Unbelievable... ." "There must be someone who can hold all the spirits of the five elements." "It''s not even divine At least, he''s a ranker that can only be in the upper floors." The stone statues murmured in disbelief. "Now it looks like you have passed all the tests, how about passing the resistance stone slowly?" Jinhyuk snapped his fingers. " okay. You passed the test, you deserve it." tuk. Tuuk. The large resistance stones hung from the stone statue''s neck were pulled out. great. With this, the minimum conditions for going to the boss are met. As a bonus, I got a lot of strong little spirit beasts. ''I''ve already finished my contract with the stigma of my soulmate, so even if I wanted to quit, I wouldn''t be able to quit.'' Seeing the smiling faces makes my conscience a little prickly, but what can I do? The world is prey and prey. There are only two, right? ''Now that I know how dangerous it is to sign a contract, it''s cheaper than tuition.'' cancer. This taught the growing sprouts what the bitter taste of society is like. It''s never about exploitation. Before Jinhyuk left his seat, he suddenly stood still. Ah. right. I almost forgot." "Forgotten, what do you mean?" "If we go on like this, aren''t you going to run away and report to the owner of the labyrinth that you lost all the resistance stones?" what ?" "That''s right. I''m going to give you all of this information, do I have to take that risk? It is best to reduce risk. If there are no witnesses, you don''t have to worry about leaking useless words. "Are you sure you want to kill us?" "Ignorance! We are protected by the system. Like the manager, it is the law that orchestrates the labyrinth!" Besides. I''m not too young for that weapon. okay. That''s right. Barnards can''t damage them. then . Whoops. The space cracked, and a great sword of a formidable size came out. balm. The relic that cut down the dragon was revealed. "I''m sorry, but for this raid, confidentiality is the iron rule." It''s not going to take a lot of mana to deal with this, but getting this job done comes first. "I have no personal grudges." Just do what''s necessary to climb the tower. Jinhyuk raised the sword he was holding with both hands high. "Aww!" "Mmm, stop!" The statues screamed. However, the head of the stone statues was completely smashed by the feet that were thrown down without mercy. Inside the shards bouncing in all directions. Jinhyuk wiped the dust off his face with an expressionless face. As if vowing to mobilize any means for an end. gurgling... . Where the golden spring water flowed like a waterfall, there was a gigantic dance floor reminiscent of a training center. and. "Whoops!" There was a man wielding a huge spear on it... . That was the boss monster who was the owner of the labyrinth. Boo Woong! A flashing spear blade cut through the space. The deteriorated gas still remained in the air, drawing the trajectory the window passed. bang! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! A wound along a floor made of lapis lazuli. At first glance, the weight seemed enormous, but the skill of handling the spear like a pinwheel seemed to have reached the height of a god. How much time has passed like that? Finally, the movement of the spear stopped. "You always look great. I didn''t notice the passing of time, I just watched." clap clap. What appeared with the sound of applause was a beautiful-looking elf. Sherry, one of the intermediate managers. She is a wood elf who loves nature, but for this moment, she is only a proxy for conveying the above words. "I didn''t know you were here to soothe my itchy body. I''m sorry." "The traps prevented the intruders from even coming this far Even so, it seems that you do not miss a day of training." okay. It''s been too long since I''ve tasted blood thanks to his sturdy defenses. If the road to me had been cleared, I wouldn''t have to be so bored... ttt!" The big man clicked his tongue. A thick speculation erupted from his body. When was the last time you fought in person? I felt like I was going crazy because I missed the bloody battle that risked my life. With those words, Sherry opened her mouth as if she had been waiting. "That is why I came here. In fact, this time, it seems like there are intruders that are difficult to stop even with traps." "Huh? Are you strong?" "Strong." " That would be fun." The man''s mouth was torn open. If Sherry, who is famous for being strict, will admit it, then you won''t have to disappoint. Finally, the opportunity to enjoy a proper fight has come. Koo! The window drew a large semicircle. "I would like it to be at a level where the rust on my spear would fall off, even if it wasn''t like General Oh Ho." Labyrinth wine ''Yeopo Bongseon''. One of the tower''s heroes grabbed Bangcheongeuk. "Wake up all the lieutenants. We will prepare to receive guests." Yes. General." The shadows around the theater moved in unison. CH 388 Two Masters, Two Disciples (1) Among those who live in the tower, the existence that has been praised for accumulating numerous achievements and myths. People collectively called him a ''hero''. ''Yeopo .'' Jinhyuk''s eyes narrowed. It wasn''t a great hero like Hercules or Siegfried, but it just didn''t have a chance to build a transcendent myth. Yeopo Bongseon is a weapon that is unmatched in terms of force. Because of this, various factions made every effort to subordinate him to him. In fact, Olympus and Ragnarok were also actively recruiting players. Of course, Yeo-po kicked all those conditions and took the place of the labyrinth with the managers. ''Since the hero-level resident has also received the buff called Labyrinth Master, it must be considered one step higher than that of a hero of the same class.'' and. To face such a formidable enemy, Jin-hyeok and Cheon Yu-seong were fighting the eagle owl right after they entered the labyrinth. To be precise, he was training to raise the level of Cheonyuseong in order to deal with Liu Fu''s annoying lieutenants. Quang! Kaka Kaka! Fireworks blazing in all directions. Cheon Yuseong swung his sword like crazy. A sharp sword strike raged like a storm. However, the eagle owl cut off all the sword paths in advance with a single thin sword. "! what is this... !" A sigh of absurdity came out of Cheon Yu-seong''s mouth. The sword that has been polished all his life is being read so futilely, of course, it is absurd. "Hmm. It''s quite usable, but it''s a bit disappointing. I can handle the sword more naturally, didn''t anyone point out that part? "What does that mean?" "It means to use the left-handed sword (ք)." "Left hand by? Cheon Yuseong flinched the sword he was holding in both hands. Until now, I mainly use both hands, but occasionally my right hand. He had never thought of using a left-handed sword he was unfamiliar with. Conceptually... . How could something unfamiliar be better than a hand you''ve been used to for decades? okay. I''ll show you once. You have to do it this way." The eagle owl burrowed into Cheonyuseong''s arms in an instant. Close enough to breathe. There. Kaaan! The eagle owl''s sword began. " Whoa!!??" Cheon Yu-seong hastily took a defensive stance. The nerves of his whole body were tensed by the dazzling sword dance that could not be compared with before. ''stomach No, next door? Damn it. From here on this track... !'' The position where the sword is held changes freely during battle. The sword attack exploding from his left hand immediately engulfed him gently. Kaka Kaka! There was no sense of incongruity in the connection between Yu () and Kang (ǿ) above all else. "It''s meant to be like this. Where, this time, you should try it." "Do you know how easy it is? Anyway, the guys brought by that damn old man are all just talking nonsense, it''s so disgusting... ." "You seem like a very talkative friend. Try pretending to be deceived." The eagle owl slashed Cheonyuseong''s horse and swung his sword. Damn it! Kaang! Inevitably, Cheon Yu-seong responded. However. The sword he held in his left hand evoked an unexpected sensation. Kaka Kaka! It really is. The more the sword was divided, the more doubts turned into certainty. "What, what?" A look of embarrassment leaked out of Cheon Yoo-seong''s voice. A sword that has become much smoother than before. Holding the center of gravity also seemed so light that it could not be compared with the previous one. "How the hell is this ." Of course, all of this was thanks to the eagle owl who naturally led Cheon Yu-seong''s sword to come to life... . Cheon Yu-seong didn''t notice that fact. It was because he was so cleverly guided. Then, Jinhyuk, who was silently watching, uttered a word. Hey What if I tell you that? It was something I was going to use later. ttt." Hmm. After all, did you already know?" you ! You mean you didn''t even say it on purpose, even though you knew it! Different reactions erupted from the mouths of the eagle owl and Cheon Yu-seong. "No, I''m not saying I won''t tell you forever ." I just suck the sweet water as much as possible. I was just trying to tell you when it became a shell with nothing to eat and was on the verge of crumbling. Why, if you are full and everything is satisfactory, isn''t urgency not enough? Throwing a lifeline is the best thing to do when you are drowning and run out of breath. "This trash . I will kill you!" Cheon Yu-seong was furious and the road was about to run rampant. "Uh-huh! Calm down. You''ve earned Giyeon, so where''s the time to fight with me? One-on-one map of Chuhonsayeong''s Chuhonsayeong and Eagle Owl. If the two are synergistic, Cheon Yuseong will grow even more than it is now. Above all, in a situation where there is not much time left to attack the labyrinth, there is no time to quarrel. If you can afford to swear, it would be better if you sharpen your left-handed sword even a little more. "You will go to hell when you die." Huh. I want to hold hands with you." "Damn it. I should not speak." Cheon Yoo-seong, who spit out abusive language, turned around. It''s strangely excited about being grumpy, and it''s certainly amazing that the newly acquired Giyeon is amazing. "He''s such a talented friend, so just tell me this, and he''ll pave the way for you." "I will. He''s a monster too. He''s still strong, but he can''t imagine how strong he will become if he uses both hands freely. I''ll have to worry about getting stabbed in the back sooner or later. It was the characteristic of that leech that, if it was judged that there was even a slight chance of winning, they rushed to fight. by the way. That guy must be busy wrestling with the sword all day today. Jinhyuk tilted his head towards the eagle owl. "You mean we''re going to fight?" "I want to experience firsthand how strong the existence of an operator is. There are things I want to try in a battle with a strong person." Not only to deal with Yeopo, the owner of this labyrinth... . Afterwards, it was necessary to perfectly master some unique abilities in order to fight the great heroes and deities. The first thing to pay attention to is . Again, the Heavenly Demon Goddess. It is the strongest season that boasts overwhelming destructive power in any situation, whether it is a face-to-face battle or a battle against one another. ''One way is to use the compass I got from Rick to enter the rift, but it takes too much time.'' The best thing you can do right now is to maximize your practical experience. And the best opponent was right in front of you. However. "Hmm. I know what you want, but it''s because I''m not on the side that''s confident in martial arts. I think it would be better to put someone more suitable than me." The eagle owl snapped his fingers. OK. [An imaginary space unfolds!] A blue curtain spread around Jinhyuk. A completely disconnected dimension. Even the concept of time is different here. That means 10 minutes outside is equivalent to 24 hours inside. "This must be a skill that requires a lot of restrictions ." Jinhyuk muttered as if he couldn''t understand. But the embarrassment was short-lived. In the scene that followed, I finally understood why the eagle owl was so overcrowded that it opened up an imaginary space. jerk. Light and heavy steps. The power of the heavens and the earth has been constricting my whole body. ''This is a bigger gift than I expected. completely Exceeding expectations.'' there''s no way you don''t know How could you not know? The symbol of demonism, the absolute person who has mastered the Heavenly Demon Gods to the extreme. " Long time no see." "The story has been told. Do you want to learn the martial arts of this seat?" The heavy inner strength conveyed through the voice. This space is an illusion, but the existence in front of us is never an illusion. "That''s true, but I didn''t know that the Heavenly Demon would come directly. I didn''t even know that you would sign a contract for an imaginary space." A contract that comes to an imaginary space has its own penalties for both sides. Because it was one of the most heterogeneous contracts that existed in the Tower of Trials, limiting time and space. "There were several circumstances. However, the greatest desire was to share the conversation with you." "Actually, I also thought that it would be best to be studied by the Heavenly Demon." "Hmm. That''s not a very bad thing to say. Still, the friendship law would be a little sad. I was happy that I had a strong disciple who could succeed the Dark Heavenly Demon Hwanggong." Seriously, Master, you wouldn''t want to lose your one and only disciple no matter how much you have that personality. Because I actually growled at the angel several times. still. He will be happy to understand that the disciple is getting stronger. or not "Whew ." As he regained his breath, a black battle erupted along Jinhyuk''s body. [The unique ability ''Heaven Demon God Gong'' will be unlocked!] this feeling. this feeling. It''s been quite a while. I haven''t been able to handle it freely yet... . From now on. You will learn how to use this ability most effectively. From the person who has mastered this martial art to the extreme. "I will go." okay. Come." A black spectacle spurted out of the angel''s body as well. Aww! An imaginary space that collapses in one blow. Huge power and power collided in the achromatic world. Throb! Indeed, it is a huge destructive force. Jinhyuk managed to pull himself up and spread the distance. ''It was really dangerous just now.'' The place where the number of days of heaven was spread was already a ruin that was difficult to even call a land. "It''s pretty good. How can you use the celestial gods that are handed down through a one-man tradition to this extent? Is this also one of your abilities?" The corners of the angel''s lips went up in circles. Originally, acquiring Heavenly Demon''s martial arts without permission was a reason to kill and get rid of it by itself. Chunma just looked at Jinhyuk with a bold look. "Do you intend to kill me instead of Dalian? Come on, take it easy." "Didn''t you take the number of main seats with plenty of time to say something like that? There is no other high school teacher with this skill." "I''ve already been to and from Bukmangsan a few times, but it''s not easy. And what kind of bastard''s herbivore is so anomalous? You have to show something to respond." "What is the meaning of both brothers and sisters? After all, everything is bound to break." The power to thoroughly seek defeat. The essence of the Heavenly Demon Goddess lies there. "I will go back. look good feel it." bang! The Cheonma, who unfolded ''Cheonma Gunlimbo'', appeared right in front of Jinhyuk''s nose. Heavenly Priesthood. The hole in his fist turned into a flood and aimed at his abdomen. fast. Jinhyeok also used the Celestial Spirit Priesthood and stretched it toward the Heavenly Demon''s fist. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! It felt like my whole fist was about to be shattered. As they fell in terms of power, the difference was bound to be extreme even with the same new cast. Jinhyuk knew that too. The devil knew that too. Nevertheless, the reason why the battle continues, even to the point of being ruthless... . Chunma is trying to tell you right now. What should I do to achieve great success in a short period of time? "In this imaginary space, the time given to the main jwa is Dalpo." within that time, I will create a monster to succeed him. CH 389 Two Masters, Two Disciples (2) dalpo. It was only about 5 hours outside, but a whopping 1 month had passed in the imaginary space. Cuckoo Cuckoo! Dozens of swords floating in the sky. The dark-colored weapons made from the Heavenly Demon Swords swooped in a line. [The Celestial Demon activates the Heavenly Demon God ''Destroy Heavenly Fire''!] Like a meteor shower falling into the night sky. The swords descending in a straight orbit created a spectacle on their own. right then Red swords rose from the ground. Compared to the Heavenly Demon, the sword''s power and number were not enough... . It didn''t move a bit as far as momentum. Igear swords of different colors. The strongest swords known to have their shape only when they reach the state of the present state, erasing each other''s tracks, rushed towards a single point. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Aww! The sword and the sword collided. Shattered fragments scattered across the air. Fireworks lit up the dark night quietly. tuk. The angel that came down from the sky nodded as if satisfied. "To be on par with the Heavenly Demon God Sword loaded with five-star power. If this is enough, you can follow me right now." It is a speech of sincere admiration. No matter how much he pushed it to the limit, he never thought that he would acquire the Heavenly Demon God Gong so quickly. In fact, even he, who was called Cheonmuji, took more than ten years to reach 5 stars... . ''If I had been in Moorim, I would have become a monster capable of all things Moorim.'' However, the disciple in front of him seemed to have no intention of staying with that kind of thing. Without being bound by one level. It will rise above without being bound by any power. To a place no one has ever been to. "It''s all thanks to the guidance from Heavenly Ma. That''s why I didn''t say it It feels like 100 lives are gone." No limbs, no pain. I had to check the neck three times to make sure it was properly attached. "We got along a little bit fiercely. Still, it was a fun time." "So am I. I don''t think I''ll ever be able to spend time with this fiercely in the future. These words are sincere. I''ve done all sorts of crazy things in the Tower of Trials so far. By far the busiest month I''ve spent right now. ''That''s enough It''s more than expected.'' Do you feel like your body is itching to see how strong you have already become? Jinhyuk felt the magical power quietly revolving in his body. okay. got stronger and stronger Some criminals do not dare even look at them. And in the world, raw meat is enough to look up to even the strong. You are strong." However. "Aren''t you afraid? The fact that there are enemies that cannot be defeated even if they become this strong." The angel''s voice became strangely complex. I know for some reason. Shub Nigurs. A transcendent being who drove the heavenly demons into the four realities just by manifesting them. If you go to the top of the tower, you will encounter monsters that exceed common sense. Heaven asks if it will be okay. ''I''m afraid .'' Well, there have been times. There was a time when I was trembling in front of an enemy beyond common sense, and I couldn''t move. However. No more. Those newbie days are long gone. Besides, no matter how much a virtual game it became, it didn''t mean that the experience and senses were lost. A faint smile appeared on Jinhyuk''s face. " I asked you something." Seeing that smile, Chunma was convinced. No matter what kind of monster he faced, Jinhyuk would never feel fear. that''s it Any further questions are meaningless. "The time has already come. If you are tired and tired, come to Moorim anytime. The friendship law is eagerly awaiting. We are looking forward to the day we will meet again." Cheonma said goodbye softly. Pachi rule! As the imaginary space collapsed, Jinhyuk came out. "Whew ." The damp and humid air inside the labyrinth was sucked deep into the lungs. Is it because I risked my life in there and fought back? Even the gloomy atmosphere of the labyrinth felt welcome. "Were you training within the barrier?" Cheon Yoo-seong was the first to greet me. Seeing that the yogi on the tip of Ryuhwa''s sword has thickened several times, it seems that he has grown a few more steps in the meantime. Huh. Well, I did some stuff. Anyway, it''s nice to see our swordsman after a long time. How have you been while I''m away? "It''s like we''ve seen each other in a few hours and haven''t seen it in years Damn it. don''t fuss It''s disgusting." "Anyway, what kind of person are you so icy all the time? I can''t give because I have to give. Ugh. "Don''t be silly. If you only attack this labyrinth, let go of your neck and wait. You will be amazed at how strong I have become in such a short period of time." Cheon Yoo-seong declared war with a confident face. These days, one-on-ones have been lacking, so he gave me less anxiety, but it seems that he has become more energized. Gosh be afraid No matter what, if the swordsman takes a serious step forward, my life will become a fly''s life." Damn it. done. I''ll do some more training, so call me when it''s time to go to the boss. "Yeah. Take a look." Jin-hyeok, who barely passed it through one ear, turned to the eagle owl this time. However. " you. Jinhyuk''s expression suddenly darkened. This is because the right arm of the eagle owl was different from before. "Even if you are an operator, you will have to pay the price for using this level of ability. Don''t worry too much. Because this is my choice." The body is crumbling to dust. Thanks to the use of the imaginary space, he ate his own life with that penalty. Paz. Powder scattered along the shoulder blades. Even at this moment, the aftermath persisted. " How many minutes do you have left?" "It''s about five minutes. If we don''t hurry back, we won''t end up losing our right arm. Is it possible to die... . "It''s a pity that I didn''t see the labyrinth until the end, but I still fully confirmed the possibility. really It has changed remarkably." The eagle owl looked directly at Jinhyuk. The face inside was not visible because of the mask, but it seemed to show what kind of gaze it was. "If it were you, we could do what we wanted. You will be able to achieve your goals." okay. I look forward to the day we meet again at the top of the tower. When that time comes, we''ll take off our masks and talk. Don''t say it in a dull, hidden way." Of course. The eagle owl nodded. This gave me another reason to see the top of the tower. When the eagle owl left, Jin-hyeok and Cheon Yu-seong accelerated the pace by one step. He had already obtained the Resistance Stone and had completed training, so there was no reason to hesitate. [Cheon Yuseong activates his unique ability ''Sword Song''!] "Kie-e-e!" "Kee!" Large monsters resembling moray eels came out along the dark passage like an anthill. Of course, the thought of chewing on its prey with its sharp teeth did not last long. It was because Ryuhwa, who had a green light, cut off the moray eel''s whole head. Scratch! The period is too short to fully master the left-handed sword. However, the word "talented" is not for nothing. Cheonyuseong was already showing that the water had risen. "Whoa! How are you? This is my sword." In addition. careless again Don''t put any pressure on your shoulders just because you''ve caught those guys, focus on them. From now on, it''s real." Jinhyuk pointed to the front of the moray eel''s habitat. Different patterns carved along the floor. It was a bridge with layers of magic and barriers spread out. "Is this the place where the residents have been tormented over and over again?" okay. The number of traps alone exceeded double digits. I prepared for the most difficult thing with the resistance stone, but I don''t think it''s funny. look. Like this. jerk. Jinhyeok''s right foot moved at the same time. Cuckoo Kook! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Lightning fell from the sky. [Fire Resistance Stones absorb the flames!] Chi profit! I wondered if there would be a red flame around Jinhyuk, and then it absorbed all the lightning that fell from the sky. But, at the same time. Whoops! Boo-woong! Different types of traps were triggered simultaneously in all directions. poison stings, crossbows, and even arrows. Kaka Kaka! When Jinhyuk swung his barnard, the cutlery was split in half. Snuggle... , The trap isn''t over. Hearing the clashing sound of the diaphragm, this time an arm with a huge sword rose from the bottom of the bridge. As if he could touch the ceiling more than a few hundred meters, his arms soared straight down. Aww! It is a terrifying blow that almost cuts off the entire leg. However, this time Jinhyuk moved one step back and avoided the attack. A large wall of blades was built right in front of his nose. "Well, it''s roughly like this. In the future, there will be more variety." "It''s not that difficult to see and respond to. Still, like you said, it''s going to be annoying. If you waste your magical power here, you will struggle with the boss." right. So we must find a way to break through the trap while preserving our magic." "Are you thinking of something?" Huh. Jinhyuk put on a strange smile. creepy Chills arose along the back of Cheon Yu-seong. I''ve been experiencing with my body what happens when you smile like this. "Are you sure you''re not going to use me as bait?" a. No matter what, I''m not like that. Actually, that''s what I was trying to do. Even if I didn''t master the left handed sword, I was going to use it as a bait and use it as a mormot for the labyrinth... . It was really sad. Fortunately, though, I have at least one truck of friends who can take over the role. "Wait, everyone, look at me. I''ll give you my first assignment. Whoa! The subspace inventory was opened, and small-sized salamanders rushed out through the gap. "Did you call me, Master?" Salamander puffed out her chest. Is it because of the fact that he has a lot of kin? Unlike before, it feels like a very bluffing spirit king. The word "beautiful" rose up to his throat, but Jinhyeok brought out the warmest smile in the world instead. "Our cute fire lizard. excuse me Can you see the end of that leg?" see. master. "Go over there." Huh? over there? Why? Salamander''s eyes widened. "It''s nothing. You just have to go. I have bad legs... . If you do that, I''ll send you back to the sub-space with a warm bonfire." what It''s called a bonfire?" "It''s the red log fire on the eighth floor. He''s just a rice thief." It is the best delicacy for salamanders, known for its fragrant and pure fire. gulp! You can hear the saliva running down your throat. "Oh, I see. go right away master. Keep your promise. please! do do do do... . The salamander ran across the bridge on four legs. with saliva dripping from his mouth. Whoops! "Kyao!" It didn''t take long for the huge explosion to occur. The salamander flew round and round toward the air and became a star in the sky. "Hmm. Did you dismantle 5 traps?" It''s not a bad achievement since I got to avoid the mine-type trap. Jinhyuk''s gaze turned to the rest of the spirit beasts. "Next applicant." CH 390 Folklore Bongseon (1) Numerous traps and guardians guarding the labyrinth were breached. The news soon reached Yeo-po, the owner of the labyrinth. " It''s faster than I thought. Jinhyeok''s battle scenes were shown on the beads that looked like Yeouiju. Of course, because he was a martial arts boss, he could only see fragmentary things, but that alone was enough to understand the opponent''s power. "Isn''t this the video you came in when you just entered the labyrinth?" The middle manager Sherry, who was standing next to him, opened his mouth. okay. Exactly 6 days ago. We can assume that it is at this level and respond accordingly." "Fufu. How is it? Doesn''t it look like it''s not enough to enjoy? "Well, he''s a talented person who seems to be able to use it quite a bit. Even the guy I''m with doesn''t have the skill to hold a sword for a day or two. It is understandable that they entered the labyrinth with only that number. However. That''s all. Even though it looks pretty sharp, I''ve fought many times with enemies stronger than this. Compared to the heroes and deities of numerous myths, including General Ohho, whom I met again after coming to the tower, it is not enough to make my heart race. With a sad expression on her face, Liu Fu buried herself in a chair made of tiger skin. "Where are these guys?" "According to the scout team, they have approached the immediate vicinity." "Hmm. Soon, we will reach the entrance." Yes. Probably, at the level of those guys, they''ll just be blocked at the entrance. It''s the ''them'' who are guarding the entrance right now. The lieutenant bowed his head. Then, Sherry, who was next to him, put on a strange smile. "It seems that the Lord of Labyrinth is looking down on those who are coming now. What do you think is the reason why I came here on purpose?" "You seem to be making fun of my lieutenants guarding the entrance to Sopaeseong." Holiness and Wisdom. Among the generals under Liu Po, these two are famous for their valor and viciousness. As long as these two are together, the enemy will never... . Aww! "Aww!" "Gagging!" With a scream, the castle gates were smashed. It was Cheon Yu-seong with a long sword and Jin-hyeok spinning a dagger that appeared along with the acting. how ." The fox''s expression contorted in astonishment. On the other hand, the smile on Sherry''s lips grew even deeper. "So did you say? You have to do your best." Ugh. The welcome ceremony is loud. is not it? "It was pretty good for a gatekeeper. You seem to have worked hard to introduce yourself, but what was your name?" "I don''t know either. I think it was a name like Jackie Chan and gastritis... ." Jinhyeok and Cheon Yuseong spit out one word at a time and entered the labyrinth. A place located at the end of the labyrinth. Decay. As it is a place that symbolizes the betrayal and revival of Yeopo, it feels like it is suffocating from the entrance. "The two generals are defeated ." "Protect General Yeopo!" "Never let it into the dustproof room!" Soldiers armed with red armor surrounded the two men in an instant with spears and shields. right then stop. Fool raised her hand. Like a lie, the movement of the soldiers, who seemed to rush at any moment, stopped. "Before we begin, I want to ask you one thing." ask. As long as it''s not too personal, I''ll answer whatever you want. "What the hell did you use? stealth? Or is it because of the unusual magic your outsiders have?" Seongryeom and Weiweol have the ability to be reluctant to deal with most boss monsters. In particular, the passing ranks of the two generals were so fierce that their names were known even on the upper floors. But, the two of them are going to break through so futilely. Considering the battle shown at the entrance of the labyrinth, it was impossible to understand. Unless you used an unusual, cowardly number. "A lot of things happened when I came here. I also practiced." "In just a few days Do you mean to believe that you''ve become that strong? It''s been a few days... . Well, I don''t know what works in an imaginary space, so I have no choice but to think like that. "In a few days, a lot of things would have happened. and. I don''t know what I was judging by what I saw, but we didn''t even reveal the skills we saw from the time we entered the labyrinth." "Looking at the vague explanations, it seems like you guys are ashamed of using cowardly tricks too." In any case, I wonder if someone had muscled up to the head. It is admirable that such an interpretation is possible. "Yoosung. That guy keeps swearing at us, are you going to just listen?" "It must be a curse on you, not us." Cheon Yoosung drew a line with a single knife. "However, I have a desire to leave that and fight the powerful men who dominated an era." Pants! Green waves surged along Liuhua. The newly acquired sword and the newly learned swordsmanship. How far will this go beyond the middle class? It was hard to bear because I was curious. "If anyone wants to die first, go ahead. Unlike the guy next to me, I don''t look after him or anything, so be prepared. Looking at Cheon Yu-seong, who had an equal momentum, Yeo-po''s eyebrows were curved in an inverted manner. "Aren''t any of us brave enough to kill that cheeky bastard?" God. Hwa-woong will cut you down with a single knife." no. Leave it to this gentleman." "There''s also a long pad here." The longevity, who had dominated a myth, came forward. After the arrival of the Tower of Trials, especially after Yeo-po took the place of the labyrinth, they gathered together. ''Certainly, it''s not easy to see these members in one place.'' If you like Yeonui, it''s probably a situation that will make your heart race. Unless the protagonists in the yearning are aiming their spears at them. ''I need some help. No matter how strong that guy got, it would be unreasonable to face those three alone.'' Let''s see. If you want to have a taste for either of the two, though... . decided Jinhyuk blocked the front of the giant general at once. " !?" Hwa-woong looked at Jin-hyuk while holding his spear. "My uncle wants to play with me. Wouldn''t it be a shame if we rudely play 3 to 1?" "Even if you don''t rush orders, our general will deal with you. So, wait patiently for your turn to die." "Hey. I know that, because I need someone to warm up before the main game." "Body solve? Against this hwawoong?" Hwa-woong, who was about to pass by unintentionally, stopped on the spot. tendons protruding out of nowhere. How angry he was, the spear in his hand trembled. "You''re the most standard combat power meter, isn''t it? I''ll finish a cup of tea before it cools down, so feel free to come in. Ah. Can''t you hear well because your beard is covering your eardrums? So, I''ll go in first. Jinhyuk snapped his fingers. "I will kill you! You bastard with no blood on this hair!" The provocation worked well. Hwa-woong changed direction and rushed towards Jin-hyuk. Boo-woong! A heavy piercing sound struck his ear. Incredible speed for its size. The spear left afterimages and raged like a torrent. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! However, Jinhyeok avoided all those attacks by a single sheet of paper. It''s like saying you can read anything like this. "! Avoiding cooking like a mouse... ! Are you running away like a coward when you lose your strength?" Hmm . I still don''t know. "It''s not that I don''t have enough strength to avoid it." As soon as he finished speaking, a ferocious energy surged from Jinhyuk''s body. "If we finish it too early, it''s just that our swordsman friend goes back to melancholy mode again." However, seeing that he was able to easily digest 2:1 by himself using a left-handed sword, I thought I would not have to worry about that anymore. Now there''s no reason to procrastinate. Jinhyuk released his magical power. Cuckoo! ''Heavenly Demon Goddess''. Dare, it''s hard to even guess the end. Originally, it was close to impossible to maintain this ability without the crown of defeat. With the help of the Heavenly Demon, she learned how to use the herbivores of the Heavenly Demon Gods effectively. And the result. ''Falling out'' (һA) That''s it. A single petal falling from the sky. "Big!?" Hwa-woong raised the spear to defend. Of course, the spear that was strengthened with some aggression was not even close enough. Whoops! As if the mountain was collapsing, Hwawoong''s spear bent like a spear, which was trying to block the attack along with the broken space. Naturally, Hwa-woong''s body under the window could not withstand the shock and was thrown to the ground. For an instant, a huge silence revolved inside the fortress. As Yeo-po''s left arm and the strongest spear, which always gave the result of victory, was shattered in a matter of days, of course, he was shocked. "Honesty and Was it not a coincidence that the Weewol lost?" The biggest surprise was the fox. Up until now, I thought Jinhyuk''s level was down a few steps. It was completely turned upside down. In addition, Cheon Yu-seong, who was dealing with Jang-pae and Jang-ryo, also possessed a much higher skill than expected. " Is this really what you meant when you said it was dangerous?" Yes. He has a history of making the tower''s managers difficult over and over again. However . It exceeds even my expectations." Even Sherry, who came to give a warning, couldn''t hide her nervousness. I knew Jinhyuk''s dangers better than anyone, and I was proud of it. Somehow, over the past few days, he has become more and more of a monster. great. I guess I''ll just have to stop joking around here. Fool got up from her seat. "Each unit must engage in wheel warfare and thoroughly steal their stamina." No matter how strong the enemy, there will be no answer to the endlessly rushing numbers. From now on, I will explain clearly why this labyrinth boasted its impregnability. thud! thud! thud! When the command of the foe was issued, the soldiers armed with iron armor poured in. Ham Jin-young. It is a heavy infantry corps built with elites. True to the nickname that the camp must be captured, the movement was as if it was measured with a ruler. 5 in 1 group. Each platoon composed of five (5) can respond quickly and agile while maximizing efficiency as a troop. "Don''t be vigilant. The enemy who defeated General Hwaung!" "Exit!" Spears flew between the shield and the shield. Rather than inflicting fatal wounds, it was an attack that felt the will to take away mobility by targeting the arms, thighs and ankles. But. "After becoming the master of the labyrinth, the follicle of the world only became needlessly cautious. doing stupid things like this I was expecting a slightly hotter follicle." Jinhyuk did not avoid the attack. It wasn''t even necessary. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! The Heavenly Demon Goddess was opened. "Aww!" "Aaaah!" Where a dark red storm swept away, dust proofing meant nothing. The iron armor was shattered, and the spears and shields were crushed like toys. Truly overwhelming power. Jinhyuk drew the sword in the barnard horizontally. Puppupuck! Fumi''s forces that had been holding on were swept away with one sword. "Come on, General ." "Hey, save me. please. "It''s a monster That''s a monster! The soldiers, in confusion, took a step back. There was not a single person who could face a disaster like a natural disaster. Because pulling out the sword here wasn''t courage, it was arrogance. "Don''t hide behind, come out directly. Otherwise, all your subordinates will be hurt." Jinhyuk flicked his finger towards the backmost.

[Copy condition: The character who eats betrayal enough to cut off his adoptive father. Nevertheless, Yeopo, the strongest force in the Three Kingdoms, was an unmanned man who had everything he needed to survive. However, he also has one fatal weakness, refer to history and prepare a trap based on the opponent''s weakness. If you break the opponent''s composure in that way, you can copy one of the target''s unique abilities and skills.] Red Land Horse. It is a unique ability that ranks at the top among horseback riding abilities. I''m already familiar with the spear technique, so I don''t really need it, but in many ways, it was an ability I wanted to acquire as much as red land riding. Jinhyuk, who was reading the copy conditions, smiled as if he had expected it. ''After all, if it''s Yeopo, that''s it.'' Without knowing anything else, the conditions for duplicating the abilities of the follicle were expected. Actually, in preparation for this time, before I came here, I prepared an item for conversion at the coin exchange. Now all the stages are ready. "I don''t need a cup." tick tick. Jinhyuk''s provocation was directed at Yeopo. The air was freezing colder than before. "It''s fun! Even when I killed Hwawoong, I wasn''t sure, the power! okay. He was the one who learned the curse." The cold-blooded figure he had just a moment ago was gone, and his eyes gleamed with madness instead. As if to say that this is the true form, a bloody envy flowed from the body of the fox. "This guy is my food. You guys take care of the other one." all right. Don''t worry about that, and enjoy." Go-sun, who had not yet moved, led the SS and headed towards Cheon Yu-seong. If you let it go as it is, the balance of power will be disrupted. At any other time, he wouldn''t have cared whether that leech died or not, but in order to achieve this radiation condition, the existence of a heavenly planet was absolutely necessary. Never let it die. "Wow!" Jinhyuk reflexively tried to blow himself away. However, Quang! " !?" Jinhyuk''s body bounced off the ground. Yeo-po wielded a bangcheongeuk and blocked the road. "Don''t sell your eyes. From the looks of it, it seems that I haven''t been able to use that ability properly yet. If you take your time, you will be ripped to pieces." " ? Do you think you''ve ever fought a person who uses a heavenly demon? "I''ve met him once before." Kaga! Barnard and Bang Cheon-geuk collided, and fireworks rose in all directions. The stalemate of the centipede. Jinhyuk''s body rotated clockwise. Quang! The attack aimed at the side was blocked by the spear. At the same time, Yeo-po swung the Bang Cheon-geuk in three directions. The ground was cracked like a rag. It was a terrifying force, but the center of gravity did not collapse at all. The words of Yeo-po''s dance, which perfectly combined karate, could not but be said to be unheard-of. ''It won''t be easy to get rid of it with two-star power.'' then . Jinhyuk opened the subspace. Huh. Give me orders." A girl with blue hair and a pair of short spears appeared. "Fray. Help that guy over there and clean up the little ones. Yoosung will deal with annoying guys, so you only need to take care of the little guys." "Clear everything It''s not difficult. The odds are confirmed to be 99.85%." and. Go and tell that guy to check his subspace inventory. Because I sent you a present. Don''t forget to hand over this note. If you refuse, say ''video''. Then you will be quiet." Huh. I will tell you that." Frey nodded and headed straight for Cheonyuseong. What? Who is this girl?" cheeky ! What do you know about battlefield? Gagging?" Ham Jinyoung''s soldiers, who looked down on Frey''s slender body, soon experienced hell. It was impossible to stop Frey, who had dug inside. Puffy! Whoops! The javelin moved like lightning and stabbed the soldiers in sight. Even chasing Frey''s shadow was not easy even if he covered his vital points with a shield and counterattacked with a spear and a sword. In an instant, more than 20 soldiers became cold corpses. Nevertheless, Frey''s momentum did not diminish in the slightest. fault. fault ! Playing around like a weasel, it dug into the weakest part of the enemy. One of the lieutenants with a vent hole in his neck stumbled and collapsed. It was a natural procedure for the soldiers led by the lieutenant to be annihilated while running around. "Homun Coulus." The fox opened her eyes. "How could that entity be like this No, how can you get into the hands of a single player?" Sherry also muttered in disbelief. great. I think Frey would suffice over there... . Now is the time to decorate the highlight of this labyrinth. jerk. Jinhyuk headed towards Yeopo. okay. It seems like you and I will have to decide the match by ourselves." Yeo-po also took a break and stepped forward. Quang! Bang Cheon-geuk and Barnard collided head-on. If it''s common sense, it''s impossible to compete with a small dagger and a bangcheongeuk that has been turned into a relic and weighed hundreds of kilometers. It was normal for it to be smashed as it was if I even rubbed it. But that was when it was an ordinary battle. Now it was far from the ordinary. Quang! It was grotesque for Jin-hyeok, who was at most 180 cm tall, to push a giant follicle that was over 3.5 m tall. Quang! The dagger that came from the right flank was barely struck, but this time, it was hit with a straight kick from the opposite side. The body bounced off about 10m. Yeo-po jumped up from her seat and took a big leap to the side. Aww! There was a huge crater where I was standing before. ''how What the hell is this monster?'' As the battle continued, Liu Fu felt her lips scorching. bang! Quang! Kaka Kaka! A battle that was so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye. heavy Taking one piece at a time. ''I''ve never been this strong before. It was never like this... !'' In the past, there were memories of fighting with what was called the Goddess of Heaven... . different from this "I see you are confused. It looks like he came from fighting a fake who trained clumsily. Don''t go anywhere else and talk recklessly about the Heavenly Demon Goddess. There won''t be any chance. Today, here, the history of slaughtering others in the back of their lives and then tragically dying will repeat itself. "It''s true that I underestimated your abilities, but I haven''t really shown my skills yet. So, erase that arrogant smile. Because I want to cut it with my lips." Yeo-po looked at Jin-hyuk with eyes full of life. at the same time. Pants... ! With red sparks. A huge horse appeared next to the fox. Every red soil that can be said to be the symbol of follicles. gulp! She took out the leather pouch she was carrying, opened the stopper, and drank the contents inside. A silver stream ran down his throat. [I drank ''Moon Fountain Water''!] [Temporarily increases all stats by 300%!] [Yeopo activates his unique ability ''Red Land Riding''!] [''Phase 2'' begins with hero specialization!] A red status window appears one after another. Yeo-po, who deals with bangcheonhwa-geuk, is scarier than tens of thousands of soldiers. However, with a red horse that runs a thousand li in a day, Yeopo is invincible. Jittery! Heavy magic was transmitted through Jinhyuk''s skin. It was not comparable to the hidden spring of the sun, but the spring of the moon also had a deceptive effect. Instead of consuming the mana and stamina of the person who drank it, it would allow him to exert unbelievable power for a short time. indeed . This is the game I''ve been watching since. Quang! The new type of Yeopo has disappeared. In an instant, Yeo-po, who caught Jin-hyuk''s back, raised the Bang Cheon-geuk high. Boo Woong! Jinhyuk missed the attack by a single sheet of paper. But what awaited them was a ruthless stab. Dozens of spears swept towards one point, almost at the same time. "Hey!" Red Toma ran wildly, making the spear''s trajectory difficult to read. "Now it''s barely worth catching up with." Yeo-po teased the window with a more relaxed expression. The horse''s maneuverability and high RBI attack were definitely difficult. When this happens, it becomes more and more difficult to push them into a moribund state... . In order to copy the ability, you have to make it a little bit limiting. ''If possible, I didn''t want to use more than 2 stars, but I have no choice.'' Even if you force it, you have to take it thoroughly and press it. Whoops! The sword in the barnard grew even darker. Note that I haven''t been doing it right. The third ceremony of ''Heavenly Demon Goddess (ħ)''. Cheonma''s reading festival is known as the most splendid among the three ceremonies. By exploding the magical power possessed in the body, it reproduces a deep sword that cuts through the heavens and the earth in an instant. "Heavenly Flower" Lines dyed in white drew soft curves. Dangerous! The follicle''s instinct sent the supreme warning. My body reacted before I thought I should avoid it. Scratch! Long veins of blood spurted from the nape of Red Toma''s neck. If it was even a little late, it would not have been cut, but the horse''s neck would have fallen off. "Hey hey!" "This little boy !" The enraged Fool squeezed out all her power. A stream of red magic flowed out along the Bangcheongeuk. Doo doo doo doo! A blow loaded with the speed and weight of a horse. starting with it. It was a fierce battle that could not be compared with a little while ago. "Everyone back down!" "No, everyone will die if they get involved!" "How in the world is such a fight ." Those who were watching from a distance hurriedly spread the distance. If you step into a storm like that while watching, you will be torn to death. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! A desperate attempt to save each other''s lives. All I could hear was the sound of the blades clashing. How much time has passed like that? ha ha ." Ugh. Ugh. Whoops. Cool... ." A long battle was over, but there was no victory. Breathing becomes rough and the whole body is drenched with sweat. Due to the fact that he did his best in each attack, the time consumed by his stamina was much faster. The woman''s body shook violently. as soon as . it is now Jinhyuk sent the signal he had prepared. sabak. The gentle scent of flowers lingered on the battlefield with a soft sound. Oriental beauty with jet-black smooth black hair. It''s like picking a single flower. In a very elegant and beautiful atmosphere, the interior of Sopaseong Fortress was immersed in silence in a different sense than before. Ah ." An earthquake occurred in the pupil of Yeo-po. This unique body odor and appearance. no doubt I was so engrossed in my life. She was the woman who was always looking for and looking for even when she came to the Tower of Trials. iced coffee ." Kaang! Yeopo dropped the Bangcheongeuk. His trembling hands went blankly forward. The reason why he kicked everything and locked himself in this labyrinth, despite being able to enjoy all kinds of wealth and fame. It was all because of Hasting''s promise to meet Cho Seon again. and . Cho-sun, dressed in a lavishly decorated white robe, stood there, half covering her face. "Kill it. Jinhyuk Kang. If you don''t know anything else, I''ll definitely kill you. Cho-sun, or Cheon Yu-seong, looked at Jin-hyuk as if to kill him.
