CH 176

. Shared by All Things (2)

One of the Absolutes among the ten fingers of the Tower.

The former head of the Ataraxia family, considered the strongest among the six great families.

Alice von Ataraxia.

The unique ability of the noble Jinjo was revealed.

Ouch!

Huh?

The sound of suffocation was heard everywhere.

It is as heavy as the deep sea.

price... different.

kukuku kuk kuk!

Everyone in the ballroom pushed up the mana with all their might to the mana that weighed down on the whole body.

Even breathing is not easy.

...!

This .

The only thing that could survive was Hasting and Rick, the managers, and the residents who came as representatives of each faction.

Naturally, the players had no choice but to lose consciousness or faint on the spot.

Hey, this can't be...

An earthquake occurred in Yuasis' pupil.

Even when he talked about his power alone, he thought it was a bluff not worth fighting for.

At best, I thought it was an effort to get better conditions.

What do you mean by moor?

Mana of this absurd level!

She, too, has lived in the tower and has met countless powerful people... .

Arguably, it was the first time my whole body had frozen like this.

'my Did you feel fear?'

Penheimer also managed to calm his trembling hands.

It was only 30 seconds, but the emotion he felt during that time was undoubtedly fear.

Unknowingly, he saw that the sword he was wearing on his waist was half pulled out... .

It was a feeling of naturalness rather than shame.

He exudes a vicious energy like this, but even instinctively, he has no choice but to pull out his sword.

' He wasn't just such a prospect.'

I thought it was a hunting dog that could be usefully used.

So I decided to train with carrots and sticks.

However.

'It was my mistake.'

The person in front of me now is not a beast with sharp teeth.

A monster that preys on such beasts.

A sense of intimidation that only those who are at the top of the ecosystem can exude.

He was also one of the 100 Sword Masters that the Empire was proud of, but .

Penheim realized instinctively.

out of 100 people.

No, even among the top 10 who are on the verge of becoming a Grand Swordmaster.

That there was no being with such a strong energy.

But .

Of all the people here, the one who was most shocked was Alice.

Just as he was about to finish the deal with Yang Myung, Jinhyuk used an aura he was all too familiar with.

kwaduk!

The champagne glass shattered and the champagne inside soaked the tablecloth, but there was no time to worry about that.

'This ability... .'

Elise's fangs pierced her tongue.

Blood Lord.

How could you not know

It governs the blood of all living things.

their own unique abilities.

Hundreds of questions rose to my throat in an instant. But don't let that question come out of your mouth.

His job is to wear the mask of Unknown and fulfill his role.

Because that was a promise I made with the contractor.

Instead, the old man who was sitting next to him poured out swear words.

He, too, was in a state where his face had completely changed due to the liberation of mana that Jinhyuk showed.

Ignorant...! You really mean you can win against a guy like that?

Yes, don't worry. As long as you have the secret book containing the final result of the Soul Sword, you will be able to defeat it.

"Only the elixir if you hand it over. This is it, right?"

That's right. I can't go on my own, so I'll send a suitable errand.

...I see. Don't do that.

Goodman nodded his head.

That ended the secret deal between the two.

One storm passed.

What broke the suffocating silence was a cheerful voice that did not suit the situation at all.

I think this is enough to show my abilities.

Jinhyuk shrugged.

The image was clearly engraved within 30 seconds.

It felt like I was cheated a bit, but anyway, 'everything is shared'

Also, isn't this one of the abilities it possesses?

It's just a proper use of it, so I can't really call it a scam.

ね.

Yuasis clenched his fists.

Even though I pretended to be so talented, I couldn't help but pretend I didn't know.

No matter how thick your face is, it's unreasonable.

"Certainly that is enough, no one can doubt the qualifications of player Jinhyuk Kang."

Seeing that the managers did not intervene, the establishment of an emerging power was virtually approved.

As Yuasis acknowledged, the representatives of the rest of the faction nodded their heads one by one.

[The small and medium-sized force 'third force' acknowledges the existence of a new force.]

[The giant power 'Spirit Realm' acknowledges the existence of a new power.]

[The great power 'Empire' is a new... .]

[ ] I acknowledge my existence.]

[Supervisor Hasting approves the establishment of a 'new faction']

[Choose a name for the new faction.]

Status windows appeared one after another in front of Jinhyuk.

It's the name of a force... .

Since it is a name that will become a sign for future promotions, it is better to choose it carefully.

In the past, I called it 'ZㅣZone Master' because it was annoying, but I regretted it until I reached the top.

Considering that, the 'Koin-Mul Corporation' that is being put forward now belongs to a very good axis.

cancer don't

Statue Corporation.

Jinhyuk answered right away.

[Once a name is set, it cannot be changed. Do you still want it to be 'Goin Corporation'?]

In the distance, it seemed that the voices of Cheon Yoo-seong and Teresa and other shareholders were disapproving.

I must be mistaken.

maybe it is

Huh.

Jinhyuk nodded his head again.

[A new faction, the 'Democracy Corporation', was born.]

[The achievement of creating a faction for the first time in the world will be inscribed in the 'Hall of Fame' tomorrow.]

[Members belonging to the faction can use the insignia that symbolizes the faction and acquire the authority to dominate the floor.]

The goal of the force is to dominate a floor and monopolize the various benefits that come from it.

At least on the surface, he was fighting fiercely for it.

But.

The real purpose lurking beneath the surface is not like that.

Re-challenge to the top of a tower that has already failed once by inflating it like that.

That is the wish of all the residents who failed to climb the tower in the past.

'It won't be easy.'

It's because they're the ones who are at the top.

The corners of Jinhyuk's lips twitched at the thought that he would have to fight those absolutes again someday.

'please. Now that it has become a reality, I want it to be stronger than it was then.'

Then it will be worthwhile to climb the tower again.

That was then.

It seems like we've been beaten up this time. I'll get up first. If there's anyone who wants to play with the Empire, please tell me here, Prime Minister Alfredo.

Penheimer stood up with a complicated face.

There was no reason to be here any longer unless Jinhyuk was conciliated.

Rather, it was an urgent task to go to the imperial leadership and deliver what he saw now.

Because of this incident, I didn't know that the game of power could completely change in the future.

I'll go too. Don't leave the rest to Namgung-se.

After sharing a strange gaze with Elise for the last time, Yang Myung also turned around without any regrets.

It has already served a greater purpose.

Well, that's what it means.

Because the bait that Alice threw was so appetizing. Now all you have to do is calmly wait for the fish to come out of the water.

Jin-hyeok savored his taste buds as he saw Ho-myeong walking away.

Also, when prey with large seeds are gathered like this, it is necessary to extract as much as possible the copying conditions.

'Should I go too soon?'

All work to be done here is now complete.

It would be interesting to see which faction Cheon Yu-seong or Teresa will join, but that's okay to listen to slowly outside the tower.

Even if it wasn't, I was thinking of setting up a small after-party after one big event was over.

I'm going to talk about the future as well.

It was time for Jinhyuk to prepare to go.

"Before we go, can I just point out one thing?"

The water spirit, Meirena, who has been representing the spirit world, captured Jinhyuk.

Are you going to pass?

Yes.

Are you pointing out something? I don't think I did anything particularly wrong with him.

"In the labyrinth, you forcibly subjugated our spirit beasts, and I hope you bring them back."

Well?

what kind of bullshit is this

Jinhyuk's eyebrows were curved in the opposite direction.

Do you mean that I threatened you?

"If it weren't for that, there would be no way that all five Spirit Beasts would have chosen you."

The criteria for selecting a contractor for the Spirit Beasts are quite strict.

In particular, elemental spirit beasts who are not compatible with each other will be extremely reluctant to have their contractors contract with other spirits.

With Meilena's common sense, it was hard to believe that the five spirit beasts had chosen Jinhyuk.

I'm sorry, but I don't like coercion. Everyone joined our company very actively and voluntarily.

That's the fact that you can't believe it. It's not from Jung Ryeong-soo, but from player Jin-hyeok Kang.

If you're not sure, let's ask the parties directly.

Yes?

Meirena rolled her eyes.

Maybe it's because I didn't expect it to come out so proudly.

However, it was after Jinhyeok pulled out all the spirit beasts that were already in the subspace inventory.

Huh?

What? Why did you call us?

Are we fighting again?

The fire spirit salamander and the earth spirit golem. Even Sylphid in the form of a proud girl.

The 5th Spirit Beasts came out looking around.

Of course, it was Jinhyuk who stood in the way.

I'm sorry to call you while you're resting. It's just that the water spirit you see over there threatened me with a contract. I want you to tell me that's not true.

Don't worry, please feel free to speak. If there is any irregularity in the contract, I will immediately cancel the contract, and I will take responsibility and send you back to the spirit realm.

Meirena responded with a benevolent smile.

And.

Jinhyuk's eyes behind him were gleaming with a dark color of flesh.

I believe that no one will ever step forward to become an apostle of justice. Unless you have two lives.

startled

The spirit beasts of the 5 elements trembled thinly.

It took less than a second, but I realized which one I had to choose.

nothing else.

To survive.

Wow, we signed a contract because we wanted it. Right?

Yeah. Yeah. Playing with humans is really, really. It's. It's fun. It's all. Hahaha.

It's true. I was never threatened... no, I didn't.

Watch out for your mouth, idiot. He's still not very good at talking. I'm sorry. Hehe.

Okay. Everyone, be quiet. It's noisy, so it gives me a headache.

The spirit beasts quarreled in front.

But, why?

There is a deep sense of fear in the tone of voice that pours out like a roar of water.

Really?

That's right. It's really okay.

We did it because we wanted to.

They say it's okay to die, but what kind of sharp number is there?

In the end, Maylena had no choice but to give up.

"I see . If I said that, I must have been mistaken."

By the way.

This time, Jinhyuk grabbed Meirena's shoulder as she was about to leave for the station.

uh huh where are you just going?

The worst thing in the world is to be suspicious of people.

He stabbed me with a knife and said, 'Huh? Isn't it?'

are you done?

If you suspect someone, you should be able to take responsibility for that as well.

At the same time.

White palms turned to Meirna's face.
