CH 211

. One Question One Answer (1)

Jinhyuk pressed his temple with his index finger.

For this reason, he set the example of a knight and poured out solemn remarks.

also .

'As expected.'

It was decided from the moment Penheimer first met that this was going to happen.

Rather, I was worried about what to do if I didn't say this. I'm glad I got the story out first.

'But, if you have a serious expression on your face, there are more things that fall.'

seems difficult. seems difficult. If you are good at pushing, Penheimer will have no choice but to feel more pressure when asking for a favor.

And that prediction was exactly right.

Did you feel that it was not an easy request even if you did it yourself? Penheimer quickly added a word.

Of course, I'm not just asking you. Of course, hard work must be paid for. If you accept this task, I will give you anything you want from the Imperial Treasury. You may not have it.

...!

An earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk's pupil.

hoo.

I thought it would give you something pretty good, but I can't believe it came out this big.

It seems that Penheimer's desire to protect the emperor was taken too lightly.

If it were the treasure house of the richest empire in the middle class, it was an event that should not be missed.

Hey Hmm! Big! If it's for the sake of the Empire and Penheimer-sama, I'll surely succeed no matter how difficult it is. You know it's not because I'm greedy for treasure, right?

" Yes. Of course, you will."

It was when Penheimer answered with a shaky answer.

...!

soil .

While eating, Elise and Jinhyuk's senses caught on something.

Many footsteps approaching the shanty town.

not the general public

Because the mana flowing from the body was at a level that ordinary people could never have.

All of a sudden, all the shouts in the shantytown had disappeared.

There are some who stepped on their tails.

About a beat later, Penheimer also realized the strangeness.

It looks like the number is quite good... Did you send it from the nobles?

I don't know. This is a place that only a few people in the Empire know, but how...

Penheimer shook his head as if he had no idea.

That's right. It means that there is a higher probability that it is the other side than the nobles.

Let Jinhyuk focus on his senses. One by one, the number of guys approaching from outside began to be grasped.

a total of twenty-seven.

An eerie mana creeps in from outside the door.

I'll know for sure when it comes close.

The people out there are no ordinary enemies.

The sticky energy piercing the brain even felt a strange sense of incongruity.

'I have no choice but to fight.'

Second, there was only one door, and there was no way out of such a narrow place.

come.

As soon as Elise's words were finished.

kwaaang!

The door shattered.

What appeared was not human.

Keeeeeeee...

Hey!

No, it would be more accurate to say that they were humans, but are no longer human.

The dead, drooling black saliva, entered.

Clink!

Even through the windows, a number of the dead pushed their backs.

The figure struggling to somehow crawl inside came to me quite grotesque.

I'll take the left.

Penheimer drew his sword.

I'm on the right.

Elise also collected the drops of blood and made a skewer.

The moment the dead came into range.

Penheimer and Ellis moved at the same time.

Scratch!

KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa!

Aura blades blazing with blue light and crimson skewers slashed the bodies of the dead.

Dead people torn like a sheet of paper.

Each attack was loaded with indescribable mana, so it could not withstand it with a body made of fragile flesh and bones.

Yes.

It should have been normal... .

Keiyi...!

Keeek!

The dead, whose bodies were tattered, did not fall.

The flesh and bones that had fallen off were attached to it in an instant, and on the contrary, it turned into a bigger figure than the first.

It was a bonus that black thorns sprouted from the wounded area.

Whoops!

The light green liquid spewing out of the thorns hit the wall.

Then, with a loud noise, the wall began to burn in an instant.

Hey, such a bizarre monster...

Sheesh. We don't get along well.

Penheimer and Ellis, who managed to escape, made an expression of boredom.

right then

Whoops!

A white flash of light erupted from a bow made from the molars of Pentagris.

There was a hole in the forehead of the dead man in front.

Jinhyeok pulled the protester with the arrow again.

Whoops!

Keeek!

The second guy's head also had a wind hole.

It's a clean and precise blow without any fuss.

Even the ordinary movements of pulling protesters and firing arrows look beautiful.

By the way.

That play!

key kick!

The dead man, whose head was destroyed, grotesquely twisted his body and began to rise again.

Aura blade or Elise's abilities didn't show great efficiency against the undead, so even so... .

Perhaps, even the arrows reinforced with 'Blessing of the Stars' and 'Daylight' are of no use?

This was the first time Jinhyuk had ever experienced this.

It's fun.

The corners of Jinhyuk's lips went up.

How long has it been?

Facing an unknown enemy you don't know.

kukukuku!

Jinhyeok rearranged mana, which he was familiar with.

[Lv2 'Heavenly Desire (天羅地網)' is activated!]

A transparent wave led to nearby enemies.

'The front is fifteen and the sides are spread out, six each.'

After grasping the number and location of enemies through Cheonrajimang.

[Lv11 'Glacier Formation' is activated!]

They tied their feet through glacier modeling with a wide-area crowd control effect.

Ice frosts sprouted from the floor and adhered to the soles of the dead.

To conclude here, as in Beyrodum, it was the expression of a new skill through multiple fusion.

[The unique ability 'Mandala (曼茶羅)', the unique abilities 'Ten Poison (千毒)', and the skill 'Giant's Grasp' are fused!]

huuuuuuuuuoooooooooooooooooo

A dazzling light came out.

What a fusion of three skills.

It was a heavy burden on the body, but in order to deal with the abnormal ones, they had to use an abnormal method.

[Fusion successful!]

[You have acquired the unique ability 'Colossal Strike'!]

[The fused ability is stored in 'memory of the world'!]

Status windows listed in succession.

Moment. A white vortex erupted around Jinhyuk's fist.

Mana rotating at high speed began to condense into a single point in a clockwise direction.

And when that rotation reaches its peak.

' now!'

The storm beyond the limit stretched in a straight line.

KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa!

A dazzling flash of light crossed in the direction the fist was facing.

If kwon (拳) is meant to destroy an object.

The colossal blow is intended to punish the target.

Indiscriminate punishment with no mercy.

The dead, whose upper body was blown away, collapsed on the spot.

Whoa...

Jinhyuk took a deep breath.

'As a barrier, it is not difficult at all to minimize damage and reduce noise.'

He poured so much mana in an instant, the pressure on his body was beyond imagination.

His muscles creaked and his blood vessels felt like they were about to burn.

However.

"Is it a joke a joke?"

The dead did not stop even after being struck by the blow.

Seeing him twist his body at a bizarre angle again and wake up, Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva.

Clearly, this was not the work of the nobles.

Due to the traits of those who hate witchcraft while being pagans, there was no way this would happen.

Above all, it was impossible to create such monsters with the level they possessed.

As the largest candidate disappeared from the list, a second candidate rose to the top of the list.

Those who can use such magic without hesitation and have enough power and capital... .

At the same time.

'A group with strong hostility towards me.'

There is only one such guy.

Mine Association.

Jinhyuk slowly called out his name.

OK. The movement of the dead stopped like a lie.

jerk.

A western man with a pretty impressive smile walked out from among the dead.

Haha. Nice to meet you. Player Kang Jin-hyuk. Originally, I was going to appear after taking a little more power, but thanks to that, the timing is a little off.

Do you know me?

How can we not know? The person who leaked false information about Unknown and guided us to Yooseong Cheon. Thanks to him, I spent a whole day fighting at his officetel.

Oh .

Come to think of it, I remembered that I had leaked such information to Hossenveldt, who had the title of Lancelot, in the psychiatric ward.

Cheon Yu-seong's officetel, where he was spending his holidays normally, was destroyed. It also reminded me of Cheon Yoo-seong, who was full of anger, trying to pull out his sword.

Does that mean that you are also a member of the round table or something?

Yes. You can call me Gawain comfortably.

It's Gawain... .

It's a new thing, but the naming sense is as good as any other middle school 2.

However, the important thing now is not the guy's name.

What is the purpose of coming here?

It seems they've been making pretty fun toys, but should I interpret that not attacking right away as saying that I want to do something?

Even with absurd dead people who are resistant to divine power. In fact, Gawain did not actively force the attack.

To the end, they only threaten with their encirclement solidified.

It was just that.

As expected, you're quick-witted, as you've heard. Actually, there's one thing I'd like to suggest to player Jinhyuk Kang.

I hope it's not bullshit telling them to come under the demons and wipe their backs. As I said before, it's a caution that it's better to die than to get on a boat with people you don't like.

No, it's not like that. Honestly, if we held hands, wouldn't it be so obvious that in the end we would stick knives to each other's necks?

A relationship that can never be together like water and oil.

No matter how much he smiled and held his hand, the end of this story was decided.

Gawain knew it too, so instead of lying, he brought up a straightforward point.

Then what do you want to suggest?

Exchange of information that each other has. Jinhyuk asks me questions. I will also ask questions to Jinhyuk.

This That's a pretty interesting proposal.

I had a few questions about the Mine Association, which meant I could ask them.

Gawain's words now have merit in that they can fill in the information gap.

'I need to hang out for a while to pass the time.'

During the conversation, I saw Penheimer doing something on the floor.

It was an old, worn-out house, but as long as it was called a safe house. There must be a device prepared for something.

Assuming you accept the offer. How are you going to guarantee that each other won't lie to the question?

You don't have to worry about that. My unique ability is to force me not to break trust.

[Gawain activates his unique ability 'balance of trust'!]

[Both sides ask each other questions in turn, and the other must answer them truthfully.]

[If you are silent, you must provide information that corresponds to the value of the question.]

[Anyone who violates this rule will be judged by Libra.]

In an instant, a huge scale made of bronze appeared at Jinhyuk and Gawain's feet.

There were sharp pieces of iron like saw blades.

If you tell a lie as written in the status window, it must have resulted in a catastrophe in which the saw blades interlocked immediately.

I think the trustworthy part can be trusted.

I'll ask first. Are you okay?

Do whatever you feel like.

I prefer the latter rather than the first. It was because I was able to think of more serious questions through the trivial information I got during the conversation.

then .

Gawain opened his mouth slowly.

And.

So the first question that came up was... .

It was the kind of question that was completely outrageous.
