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.
