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.
