[Powet's Necklace]

Acquisition Difficulty: Overrank

Description: This necklace was completed by Powet, a high priest, with the help of divinities.

It specializes in 'sealing', and it can exert a powerful effect especially on dark-type beings. (However, only one target can be sealed with this item.)

A special item that can be sealed.

'Is it because you brought Elise back to prison?'

I was a little confused because something so huge came out.

Considering the actions and words I've done so far, I thought of course he was trying to kill Elise, but he must have had a tailor in mind.

'Is there any reason not to kill him? You must have confirmed that there is a risk of running away?'

Jinhyuk's eyes narrowed.

There seems to be more hidden intentions.

Why did they decide to keep Alice alive instead of killing her?

'For now, I'll have to take care of this.'

If it is an item that can seal a high-level vampire, it will be useful in various ways.

Jinhyuk put Powet's necklace in his subspace inventory.

timely.

Kukuku!

The gates of the Blood Wayport began to crumble.

Caracal and his followers of the Frostblade clan succeeded in dealing with the golems and destroying the magic stone that was the foundation of the gate.

'I mean, it's worth using.'

Jinhyuk looked at the fragments of the collapsing gate with a face filled with complicated emotions.

I thought that today's event would change a lot of things.

That's something to worry about later.

Yes.

At least not today.

'Now I just need to take the phoenix's feathers and get out of here.'

All the big things have been done.

Jinhyuk turned and started walking towards the center of the island.

sabak.

The quietly falling snow and the sound of stepping on it combined to create a rather quaint atmosphere.

How long would you have walked like that?

There appeared a place where the white frozen trees grew thickly.

A cold, much harsher than anywhere else, pierced my skin.

Certainly, it deserves to be called the coldest place on the 7th floor.

It was hard to control my trembling body even with the heart method I received from Yoo Chun-young.

There's no such thing as a complete freezer.

It's so cold, I want to eat hot ramen with thick slices of ham on top.

If there is sour kimchi and cold rice, there is nothing in the world to envy... .

It was a time when I was thinking such nonsense.

Whew!

A strong blizzard passed by.

[The temperature has exceeded -65 degrees!]

[Health begins to decrease very rapidly due to the cold!]

[There is a risk of severe frostbite!]

Status windows with warnings appeared one after another.

At the same time, something reddish in the middle of the forest began to appear.

'You're finally here.'

It was the 'Phoenix Feather' I was looking for.

In fact, an ordinary player would have run away from the cold that penetrated to the bone and ran away.

You look like you're going to freeze to death right now, is there anything that catches your eye on the phoenix feathers and nabals?

However, that was the phoenix's feathers as a defense mechanism to protect itself.

'If you step back, the temperature becomes even lower.'

It was intended that cowards not only deserved the phoenix feathers, but that they would pay the price of perseverance to fools who were full of goodwill.

On the other hand, if you go forward through the severe cold, the path becomes a way out.

'It's easy to say, but I had to freeze to death many times before I figured this out.'

At that time, I had to pay the tuition while losing a lot of experience.

Thanks to this, I was able to get a profit that was several times the tuition I had paid now.

Jinhyuk took a step forward.

[The temperature rises to -55 degrees.]

[The speed at which your health is reduced due to cold is significantly reduced.]

[The symptoms of frostbite are relieved.]

The status window changed quickly, but Jinhyeok hurried his steps with a grim expression still on his face.

And finally.

It reached in front of the red feather lying in the center.

[Phoenix Feather]

Acquisition Difficulty: AA (Material Item)

Description: Mythical beast One of the feathers left behind by 'Phoenix'. Just by owning it, resistance to cold increases by 500%, and when combined with suitable materials, you can create items with very special abilities.

I have really gained a lot by coming here.

Raising the 13th level, of course, collecting new items and skills. Various additional items were obtained as well.

'I got the Caracal and Frost Blades clan, and Ophelia can also be used as a hand, so this one is pretty cool too.'

Well, there's nothing wrong with perfection.

So Jinhyuk was sure.

The fact that among all beings in the present tower, the sweetest sucker of honey is none other than himself.

The 39th floor of the Tower of Trials.

Several men and women were gathered in the old castle, illuminated by the cool moonlight.

Beings with snow-white hair and reddish eyes.

A vampire named Noble of the Night.

And among them, these were the heads of the six great families.

On a large table lit by soft candles, various delicacies that can only be found in the Tower of Trials were lined up.

The crystal cup was filled with a rather sticky reddish liquid.

However.

Despite all kinds of pleasure, the faces of those who sat on the chairs did not look so bright.

I had no choice but to do so.

Because everyone was gathered here not just to enjoy the supper.

Things are getting in trouble. I'm sure Michael will fail...

A middle-aged man with an impressive beard opened his mouth.

Then, as if waiting, the rest of the headmasters added one word at a time.

I was surprised too. One of the bodyguards who received the title would be attacked by something like a human...

It's still strong. The skill itself is amazing, but the sense is crazy. To be honest, the timing of using the skills seems to be higher than me? It's because the mana isn't high.

A woman with short hair and a woman with long straight hair reaching her waist expressed their feelings.

That was then.

Everyone's eyes are twisted. How many times have I not told him? He's not that great, he said it was a mistake to entrust it to the idiots of the Decassus. It would have been running smoothly."

A man with a sharp impression trembled with ease.

OK.

Did you dare insult the Decasans!

Anger erupted immediately.

kukukuku!

The table began to vibrate violently.

Kak!

Clink!

Dishes fell to the floor and shattered.

It is almost suffocating to live that fills the inside of the castle.

Hmm. I must have forgotten about it because of senility. Do you think you can beat me? The Decassus toothless tiger?

You seem to have forgotten because it's been a long time. Who was the biggest contributor to dominating this floor?

KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa!

The mood was getting worse.

Now the tangible mana has grown so large that they gnaw each other's skin.

Among the Jinjo, the lords who have reached the apex are trying to fight.

It was obvious that a castle would disappear entirely.

at last.

It's your freedom to fight, but you'll also have to take responsibility for it.

A middle-aged man who had opened his mouth at first intervened.

startled

The movement of the two heads stopped.

The six states were in an equal position in terms of form, but there was only one.

This man was an exception.

Excension of Ataraxia.

A being who succeeded Elise as the head of the Ataraxia family.

The nickname 'existing strongest Jinjo' is not for nothing.

More than anything else, the most important thing for us now is to talk about the future. Isn't it when we are fighting each other for strength?

Well, that's right. I was a little annoyed because things got messed up. So please don't lower your voice like that.

" I agree. Let me take care of myself too."

The two heads of state subtly lowered their tails.

When the situation calmed down, Axencion took a sip of the blood from the crystal goblet.

It was the only unbreakable cup on the table.

As we all know, the resources used in this incident are no joke. We may not have intervened in the lower floors of the tower in the first place.

Originally, the existence of the upper layer should not intervene in the lower layer recklessly.

To twist it exceptionally, it required a reasonable price.

A large amount of coins, magic crystals, or relics that fit them.

The six families have poured out unimaginably enormous resources for this task.

There is only one reason.

To increase your power and go to higher floors.

And.

To challenge the last floor of the tower once again... .

However, this is a failure. As long as the Blood Wayport has fallen, it will be impossible to gather enough troops to attack the Empire.

Yeah. Well, does that mean we're going to give up on the plan altogether?

asked the short-haired woman.

no,

The corners of Exencion's lips twisted slightly.

Write another way.

It won't be as comprehensive as it is now.

There is a law in the world where there is a shortcut, not a hole.

A break that came after a fierce battle.

All those who successfully completed their respective roles gathered at the freshwater lake to celebrate.

Cheon Yoo-sung and Teresa, Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min also relieved the bitterness of the fierce battle.

Even the ice trolls of the Frostblade clan enjoyed the freedom they had finally regained.

And Jinhyuk.

In order to properly release the long-awaited hoepo, he showed the skills that he honed in a short period of time.

[You used Lv3 'Different World Restaurant'.]

A skill that can satisfy the tastes of various races.

The effect had already been proven against the elves who had lost their appetite for food.

He couldn't prepare much because of the harsh environment, but Jinhyuk prepared a pretty plausible dish using fish and edible plants from freshwater lakes.

When combined with the wine of the Frostblade tribe, a wonderful meal was completed.

Glory to the great chieftain Caracal!

For the people who gave us freedom!

Oooh!

Loud shouts erupted from all over.

Most of the content was praising Jinhyeok and Caracal.

Thank you... Human.

Caracal also expressed his sincere gratitude.

Even as he spoke, his eyes trembled slightly.

for a long time.

How could they not feel grateful to the benefactor who saved them from living as slaves?

But.

'Well .'

I'm sorry that I have to say this at times like this, but I can't help it

No, well. There's nothing to be thankful for.

Jinhyuk smiled and handed him a piece of paper.

What is this?

What?

bill paper.

The cost of raw fish caught in the freshwater lake and various ingredients collected from various places. You can't ignore the labor cost for cooking there.

Oh. sure.

Among them, the price for finding freedom would not be daring to be converted into money.

"Hey, such an absurd request 20,000 Spirit Stones 20,000? Besides, if you don't pay, you'll get 2,000 every month.

Oh, you're a slave.

If you hear from the Ministry of Employment and Labor, they are yelling at you.

This is truly a fair price for work.

Originally, you should get 50,000, but I got it out of my acquaintance DC, so I took it out.

Jinhyuk let out a small sigh.

No, seriously.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm spreading it too generously.

'If the world was full of people like me, there would be no need for laws or police. Not cancer.'
