CH 164

. Horn of Despair (1)

Boo woo woo!

The spear stretched forward with a terrifying breakout.

It was true that he was angry, but that didn't mean he made fun of the spear with emotion.

speed and trajectory.

It was a near-perfect cut-off that could take the opponent's breath in one hit.

But.

Kaga!

Jinhyuk took the blow too lightly.

As if he knew how to attack, there were no frills in the natural movement like flowing water.

It was only one battle, but with this one time, there were mixed joys and losses.

Yeomho looked at his trembling palms.

'I You're being pushed from the spear?'

It's impossible.

Wasn't he a strong person with a spear skill that ranks among the five in magic?

He couldn't even remember how much blood and sweat he had shed until he got to the position of lord of the ghost blood.

nevertheless.

What do you mean by moore? This pressure... .

pounding! pounding! pounding!

My heart was beating fast.

this tension.

this air.

never , never under his own.

I didn't think I could win even if I put my best effort into it.

And.

'Damn it.'

I was so mad at the fact that I had to feel this kind of emotion for just a player.

'Calm down... .'

The opponent is a kid who has just entered the tower.

You're wearing nerfed shackles that will give you a critical hit with just a swipe!

If you can't deal with your opponent even after gaining such an advantage, it will be a shame that will go down in the history of magic.

Whoops.

Yeomho took his stance again.

Holding the spear firmly with both hands, he measured the distance.

This time, I promised myself that I would see the end.

'If you move first, you have no choice but to be defeated. You have to be patient and wait for the other person's concentration to collapse.'

Obviously, he must be thinking the same thing.

But right then.

jerk.

Jinhyuk approached with a defenseless figure.

There were so many loopholes that, for a moment, I was confused as to whether this was the reality.

You idiot! How dare you come into my gap!

Yeom-ho did not miss the gap.

[Gwihyeoldaeju Yeomho uses the 'single spear' (蛇毒槍)!]

like a snake preying on its prey.

Chang drew a strange trajectory.

In half a beat, Jinhyuk also swung his spear.

By the way.

Puffy!

It wasn't the other side who heard the sound of flesh being ripped apart.

uh ?

The sound of wind leaking out of Yeomho's mouth.

His lips and pupils trembled violently.

certainly It was that guy who approached me defenselessly.

But, why did it have to be you who stumbled with a hole in your heart?

right then

Something flashed through my mind like lightning.

what if If you have read all the timing and trajectory of the attack.

Assuming that, it made sense to counterattack even at a slow speed of half a beat.

But does that make sense? What does it mean that the person you meet for the first time reads all of their windows?

' The difference in skill wasn't that much.'

It was only when he looked down at himself from a completely different, far-off height that he could explain why this happened.

"A monster a water-like one."

Yeom-ho's body slowly moved backwards.

The ship loses its captain and sinks.

Because of this, the fate of the demon corps was determined at the point in time when the flames were lost.

'It's roughly organized.'

Jinhyuk nodded his head.

Casey and Jude Law smashed the enemy's square, and the remaining 5 elemental spirit beasts started chasing them... .

It's a small finish and you'll know how to tie it up.

As the storm passed like that, we had more time to talk.

When did you bring these guys again? I guess you didn't sign a slavery contract after cheating that you liked the old people corporation or anything like that?

Cheon Yoosung asked as if he was amazing.

Uh-huh, slaves! These are the kids who came in with a labor contract.

Although there are no four major insurances for working 100 hours a week, minimum wage and severance pay, etc., I plan to protect the most important life.

In this day and age, there is nothing like it.

...it's okay. Let's not talk about it. I just feel sorry for those guys who were beaten by a guy like you.

Still, I never imagined that I could tame intermediate spirit beasts. Now, should I say that Jinhyuk has gone to a completely different place? It seems difficult to raid together in the future.

Theresa also added a word with a bitter face.

Although she was also one of the rankers representing Europe.

Every time I saw Jinhyuk, I couldn't help but feel a huge wall.

In fact, didn't Jin-hyeok kill a strong enemy who was difficult even if they risked their lives to fight?

'also My prediction was correct.'

Than the prospects and rankers that everyone admires.

Even more than the masters located at the apex of a large guild.

Jinhyuk is much higher up.

completely impossible to compare.

'In the future, my skills will not be enough to be together, but... .'

It doesn't matter though.

Just being acquainted with Jinhyuk. Just for Jinhyuk to climb the tower for mankind.

Because it was incomparable to anything else.

At that moment, Cheon Yoosung opened his mouth.

By the way. What are you thinking?

Huh? What?

Don't pretend you don't know with an innocent look. Damn it. Don't inflate your cheeks either. If you do that again, I'll slap you in the neck.

Cheon Yooseong grabbed the sword.

If I really did just a little bit more, I would seriously wield that sword.

It's bloody. I can't even joke about this. Okay. What are you curious about?

"There must be a reason why you chose the 25th floor out of the many places you are doing."

That's right. I didn't choose this place just because I was bored.

However.

I can't tell you why right now.

" "

Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders, and Cheon Yoosung bit his lip as if he knew it would.

Not once or twice like this.

It was expected that Jinhyuk would know the plan alone.

Okay. Don't change the question. So, how long will it take to get out of this labyrinth, and where do I have to go from now on?

That's all I can tell you.

It'll be over in an hour or two. And you don't have to go anywhere. Just stand still for a moment, and a new path will appear.

what?

Can you run through the labyrinth that fast?

This time, both Cheon Yu-seong and Teresa opened their rabbit eyes.

Ellisman, who was still silent, seemed to anticipate what Jinhyuk would do.

After all, Jinjo is Jinjo.

You must also know about the secrets of the labyrinth.

timely.

A faint light began to flicker in the runes written in the passage.

It started.

The time I've been waiting for since I entered the labyrinth.

- There are several hidden routes in 'Valley of the Previous Kings', a labyrinth located on the 25th floor. Among them, the tombs of the kings can be accessed using a special key at 11 PM every day, the time to honor the king.

Jinhyuk took out 'fangs' and lightly traced his palm.

Red drops of blood quickly flowed down my cheeks.

This is a special key.

to the tombs of kings.

Cuckoo.

The sound of a bloodthirsty vampire licking was heard right next to him, but Jinhyuk tried hard to pretend he didn't hear it.

Soon after, he placed his hand on the place where 'ỽ' was engraved among the numerous runes.

Then at that very moment.

huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo

A dazzling brilliance emanated from the text.

[The road to the 'Royal Tomb' is open!]

Ornate gate decorated with gold.

The only route that can attack the labyrinth is not a normal method, but an expedient method... appeared now

'great.'

The corners of Jinhyuk's lips went up.

It is finally time for the highlight of this labyrinth to unfold.

As I entered the gate, my vision that had been darkened brightened.

What appeared was a huge amount of gold beyond imagination.

Oh my gosh...

...that's awesome.

Theresa and Cheon Yoosung opened their mouths wide.

If the golden city of El Dorado existed, what would it look like?

From large temples made of gold and golden statues up to 10 meters high.

Even diamonds bigger than a fist and various jewels.

I saw it in movies. No, there was no choice but to exclaim at the sight that was bigger than the movie.

If I put these treasures in the subspace inventory and go out, I'll be rich enough to be a chaebol.

It's not at that level. With this amount, you can buy a whole country.

The amount of treasure in this place was out of standard, so that two people with relatively little bathing showed such a reaction.

However.

"I understand your feelings, but if you carelessly touch the treasure, you will regret it."

as if to prove it.

Additional status windows appeared.

[The previous kings warn the robbers who broke into the tomb.]

[There is only one treasure that can be possessed here.]

[The 'curse of kings' will fall on those who violate this rule and become greedy.]

I believe everyone has seen Aladdin.

If you touch anything other than the lamp, it will be fried chicken that goes into the oil.

Of course, the curse of this world would be far more terrifying than simply being killed by magma.

"I know what it means ."

I have to choose carefully.

The two nodded their heads.

And I have something to do before the treasure. Follow me first.

Getting the treasure is only an incidental reward.

The most important thing is to solve the task to get out of here.

Jinhyuk took the lead.

How many minutes have you walked past the piles of gold and treasures?

Finally, a building that was different from the others in terms of atmosphere appeared.

east west south north. The long stairs on all four sides were built to face upward .

"The altar it seems?"

Yes.

That's an altar.

And the most striking among them was the square-shaped table located at the top of the stairs and the 'black alarm bell' placed on it.

The bell made of black iron was also engraved with ancient runes. It was a completely different kind of rune than the one I saw in the passage.

'Double Rune... .'

Jinhyuk's eyes narrowed.

It was evaluated that it is the closest to the 'forgotten language', and Jinhyeok in the past also tried to find a clue to the forgotten language through this language.

'This time, I switched to the barrier company and secured the moon engraving, so I'll make sure to learn all languages.'

The fact that you can learn something new from a dead person who is already rotten is exciting in itself.

Because of that, Jinhyuk already felt his fingers itchy.

Is that the purpose?

Yeah. You can only get out of this labyrinth if you have that in your hand. It's kind of like a key to the outside.

Then there would be no need to procrastinate. I'll secure it right away.

Cheon Yu-seong tried to run to the stairs at any moment.

hang on.

Why? Is there a trap there too?

Do I have to tell you that?

Still, despite the name of the grave, the most important treasure is not without traps.

Even in the labyrinth, the most difficult and annoying things were spread like grains of sand on the stairs.

It seems to be a trap that you don't even know about, seeing that it dries quickly.

No, I know how to avoid the trap. Only when the back of your head is itching can you focus on avoiding the trap?

no way .

Yes.

We are not the only guests here.

Aren't you coming out soon? It's no use trying to use a clumsy barrier in front of me.

Jinhyuk tilted his head towards the golden pile on the right.
