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.
