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 (魔魂劍) (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 (魔魂劍)' 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.
