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.
