CH 158

. Faction Selection (2)

huuuuuuuuuoooooooooooooooooo

A new character appeared with a bright light.

Liaoyu.

He is the 2nd person in the Chinese Guild.

Mr. Liaoyu!

Maria welcomed Liaowi warmly.

Due to randomly assigned traits, the current players are grouped into small groups and scattered.

Therefore, even one person desperately needed a stronger power.

Liaoyu also sighed in relief.

Uh-huh. I'm glad. I'm coming to a place where talented people are...

By the way.

Liaoyu, who was speaking, blurs the tip of her speech halfway through.

He found Jin-hyeok smoking in the corner.

Did that person come here too?

Yeah. I don't like it either, but I think we have to be together.

i See.

Eududuk.

The sound of molar grinding resounded very loudly.

Naturally, I am angry because I have come to a place where the culprit for choosing such an outrageous difficulty level is.

But the situation was so desperate that I couldn't complain.

'I'll be patient for now.'

The Chinese Guild and Samurai Guild are already partnering with the huge power 'Murim'.

It means that we are occupying an advantageous position that cannot be compared with others as far as the power selection battle is concerned.

In the end, no matter how many flying and crawling figures, both hands and feet will be tied this time.

Thinking like that, it felt like the core that had built up inside was loosening up a bit.

Heh heh. Heung-heung. Heh heh.

Jinhyeok hummed a hum and looked at the entrance to the labyrinth, whether he knew the truth or not.

The main theme of this labyrinth is 'protecting the graves of our ancestors'.

Naturally, there were countless traps waiting inside.

'It's a cliché, but I will mercilessly kill the invaders who disturb the rest of the dead kings. Well, that's what it means.'

right then

Now let's go in. Kang Jin-hyuk player, welcome too.

Maria called Jinhyuk.

When Jinhyuk joined, detailed explanations about the raid continued in earnest.

First, let me give you a brief explanation. There are currently six people. One tank, two melee dealers, two ranged dealers, and one sub healer.

The numbers were not enough, but fortunately, they had a good balance.

The Ururu formation will never collapse at once.

I'll be as careful as I can and go inside step by step with a Treasured sword. I'll try to figure out traps from the rear, with the most experience in the labyrinth, so please follow my instructions.

All right.

Let's do that.

Damn. Even if it's on the 25th floor, it won't be impossible if we just do what we've been doing.

Everyone nodded.

The front-line tanker took center, followed by the short-range dealers and the long-distance dealers respectively.

Since the individual skills were so good, even with a small number, the formation seemed quite solid.

And.

Jinhyuk, seeing that, smiled.

'It's a textbook.'

But that's all.

In the first place, the traps here are not the kind that can survive just by being prepared.

Of course, since you've never been here before, you probably don't know that.

'Where should I go soon.'

Jinhyuk moved without warning.

jerk.

In the silence that you can even feel your heart beating.

Everyone raised their senses in their entire body.

Because they did not know when and where the trap would be triggered, the tension was at its peak.

The moment when Maria, who was at the very end, passed between the stone statues on both sides.

kukukuku!

Suddenly, the earth axis began to vibrate violently.

It's a trap.

I'll open the shield!

Maria shouted.

Tankers set their shields high, and dealers lowered their bodies and prepared themselves to fly anywhere.

I didn't know what kind it was, but I could instinctively sense that something unusual was about to happen.

[Listen to the bugs that have invaded the Valley of the Past Kings!]

A voice like scraping iron echoed throughout the valley.

The sound came from above.

Exactly from the place where there are two stone statues.

"Is it a monster ?"

No. There is no sign of moving.

Maria drew the line firmly.

The stone statue did not move as if it had been nailed to its place. At least I didn't have to fight against those giant giants.

But why?

Maria's face froze colder than ever at the vicious energy that engulfed her whole body.

Something is strange.

The situation It's not serious.

the moment I felt that way.

[The law requires proper punishment for robbers. Where are you going to receive the wrath of the kings with that lowly body!]

Translucent waves were emitted from the sword the stone statue was holding.

Pants... !

can't be avoided

Because the wavelength range was so wide, players had to cover the light completely.

Wow!

aaah!

[Physical defense and magic defense change to 0!]

[Critical strike chance is increased by 100%!]

[All resistance to penetration attacks disappears.]

[All resistance to 5 elemental elements disappears!]

[All of the unique abilities and skills related to defense have their effects .]

The countless status windows that appeared were sentences announcing death.

I can't feel mana from the shield..., mana.

Maria muttered with a dismayed face.

It would have been better if that light was an attack. The debuff that the stone statue fell to was at a desperate level.

Hey, this can't be...

"How could there be such an absurd restriction?"

Are you saying that if you fall into a trap even once, you're going to die?

Moreover, seeing that the similar kind of wave was felt from afar, the players teleported to another place must have been in the same situation.

With this, the probability of surviving in the labyrinth has infinitely converges to zero.

It's a natural thing.

A tank who needs to take the lead with confidence.

Sub-dealers who need to apply shields or buffs just in case.

Even the main dealers who have to believe in one survival skill and dig into the enemy line.

Because everyone had lost their wings.

so that.

none of the people here.

He didn't realize that one of the party had disappeared.

Colok. Uh huh. With the damp air...

Jinhyuk entered the labyrinth and looked around.

front and back left and right.

A passage where you don't know where it leads.

In the dark, all he had to rely on was the dim glowstones on the wall.

However, there was no tension in Jinhyuk's face.

'If it's even rubbed and you die, shouldn't it be okay if you don't get hit?'

I don't know why no one realized that simple fact.

If it were, I wouldn't be so frustrated.

Oh !

'It would be impossible for other people to attack with no-hit here.'

I guess it was me who didn't think deeply.

Anyway, I always think of it as my standard, so it's a problem.

Jinhyuk bowed his head briefly toward the entrance of the labyrinth as a sign of reflection.

Still out there, the panicked players probably don't know what to do.

It means that the powers are moving right and wrong in the early stages that are most importantly watched.

'It seems that Karma 1st place has already been decided.'

Jinhyuk, who relaxed lightly, picked up a stone that had fallen on the floor.

Then he threw stones towards the inside of the passage.

Boo woo woo!

The stone that drew the parabola did not go very far.

KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa!

Whoops!

kwaang!

The place I thought was the floor went down like sand.

Dozens of fire arrows and ice skewers crossed both sides of the wall.

All of this happened in less than a second.

'It must be close to impossible for a player who has lost the defensive ability to pass through this gap.'

No, even if it didn't hit the waves, it wasn't easy to survive here.

Aren't these traps just installed at the entrance?

The further inside, the more complicated the pattern as well as the power, so it was not unreasonable to regard the Quest as a failure.

However.

That's the story of normal players.

'It has nothing to do with me.'

Jinhyuk walked over to the wall next to him.

I saw a stone wall with intricate runes and ancient languages written on it.

'Obviously, it was like this... .'

When I wiped away the cobwebs and dust with my palms, the engraved letters were clearly visible.

'found.'

Even though it has been a long time since I have been here, the experience of letting people stay at home does not disappear.

Therefore, no matter how high the floor was, the advantages of the deceased did not fade.

Because, like right now, there was a back road that could get through even the most difficult places.

In order to reinterpret the magic of barrier that builds the labyrinth, Jinhyuk even activated the 'imprint of the moon'.

['Moon Imprint' responds to ancient languages!]

A soft light emanated from the tattoo on his shoulder.

At the same time.

A crack occurred in a part of the solid wall.

A blue line began to be drawn along the wall.

The line then continued in the form of a rectangle.

[The passage leading to the tomb of the previous king has appeared.]

[Only one door can be selected per person.]

[Remaining time: 0h:0m:60s]

Five doors were completed.

At the top of the door was a symbol representing the five elements, and each element was emitting intense light as if it were alive and breathing.

Jinhyuk scanned the symbols one by one.

Fire, water, earth, wind, light.

Whichever way you choose, it will not be an easy road.

Because that passage was connected with the named monsters that symbolize the 5 elements.

Of course, if you want to defeat one of those bastards when your defense is nerfed, you'll have to fight for your life.

Yes, if you fight, your chances of dying are overwhelmingly high.

'what if If you fight.'

Now 40 seconds.

The sand grains in the hourglass fell quickly.

Not much left now.

Jinhyuk clenched and opened his fist.

10 seconds.

The time has come to make a decision.

But Jinhyuk still didn't move.

Instead, I summoned fangs and twin dragon swords from the subspace inventory.

And at that very moment.

[All the time has passed.]

All the grains of sand fell.

Kie-ee!

with a harsh roar.

Something started to come out of the five doors.

Thanks to not making a choice, all the monsters inside were liberated.

Whoops!

The first to appear was a fire spirit that spews flames from its mouth.

It was 'Salamander'.

Although the size is only 1m, the salamander, one of the spirit beasts, was a threat in itself.

How dare a human set foot here. I will cook it to the bone and then swallow it whole.

The salamander flapped his tongue.

Are you threatening me now? Are you going to kill me?

It is my mission to get rid of the intruders. What's more, if the target is a human that can't be thrown away, it can be burned mercilessly.

"You say ?"

Jinhyuk glanced down.

OK.

mosquito!

The sweet potato raised its tail high. As if the owner was angry at being threatened.

kukuku kuk kuk!

The atmosphere vibrated violently.

Mythical beast and spirit beast that reign over monsters.

And .

The strongest living being at the top of all the food chains.

There are ancient species.

[Sweet Potato activates Lv4 'Fear'!]
