. river horse ritual

There are two ways for the beings on the upper floors of the tower to manifest.

The first is when you come down to the bottom of the tower by your own will.

It was evaluated as a double-edged sword because it had to sacrifice a huge amount of coins or relics, but it was the most active way to move.

And the second is that beings on the lower floors use specific places or sacrifices to summon those above.

Just like right now.

kukukuku!

A huge magic circle appeared throughout the ruins.

Kie-e-e....

Kyaaaah!

The monster statues stumbled and fell.

It's like stepping into a giant furnace. The body melted and began to seep into the magic circle.

Uh... Park hyung. Am I dizzy? This feels... something is strange.

I can't even hear my body...

Dangun Guild's raid also dropped the weapons and shields they were holding.

Everyone, come to your senses! You can't sleep. If you fall asleep, you'll all die!

Park Jeong-jin tried to protect his comrades using divine magic, but it was useless in the face of powerful demonic energy.

vision is blurred

The sensation of the limbs disappears, and the thinking becomes blunt.

kuung!

thud!

one two.

Everyone lost consciousness and fell.

However, Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min had not lost their minds yet.

Nu, sister. This is sucking mana.

Damn! Oppa! I'll take the people and get out first. Can I leave it to you?

If this is the case, you will suffer

You have to get out before it's too late.

I think I can do something like this with my gravity magic.

Maria, too, estimated the number of people and the remaining mana by eye.

thank God.

there are three people

Thanks to this, it was possible to prevent meaningless victims from appearing.

Above all, 'that'

You won't have to show it.

Don't worry. Go first. From now on, I'll take care of it.

Jinhyuk nodded his head.

Did I say I would send them? People who will become valuable nutrients?

Tristan drew her sword.

Sreung!

Along with the dazzling sword light, the demonic energy unique to Mine was condensed on the blade.

However. Just before demonic energy is released.

Whoops!

Tristan's body was engulfed in huge flames.

ね!

The gathered demonic energy was dispersed as it was.

Can you afford to worry about that? It would be better to focus on the gangma ritual?

"You you are drinking useless mana. No one can survive here anyway, even if you don't work hard."

As long as they are in the ruins, no matter how much they run away, they are still in poison.

The moment the Demon Clan with the title manifests, players will be scattered as a handful of dust just by facing them.

And the sacrifice that will play the biggest role in the cause .

Tristan picked up the severed witch's arm.

Let go, let go! Surely, you didn't want to sacrifice the humans here for a ritual! But why...!

The severed arm trembled wildly.

"I originally intended to do that, but since you couldn't deal with that person and the rest of the players, the contract terms will have to change as well."

The sacrifices here alone are not enough to summon a strong Demon Clan.

At least the life of the witch who rules the ruins would be enough to tell the story.

I'm just going to die as a sacrifice... me?

Isn't it a fitting death? Being a consumable for great magic would be a witch's ideal end.

Tristan put her arm in the center of the magic circle.

OK.

kukukuku!

The purple flames slowly began to gnaw at the flesh.

Aww!

The screams didn't last long.

The few pieces of flesh that were left soon turned to ashes and disappeared completely.

And at that very moment.

T-tiring!

[The boss of the ruins, 'Wailing Witch', has disappeared!]

[The contribution of killing boss monsters has been recognized for 94%!]

[You succeeded in copying the unique ability 'Black Tears'.]

[Black Tears]

Acquisition Difficulty: SSS

Description: Black Tears is a unique ability used by the Wailing Witch, the owner of the 'Antichrist's Tomb' located on the 15th floor. It has both the mental-type ability to contaminate and corrupt the target it touches, and the physical-type ability to prey on the enemy entirely. Also, Black Tears can 'evolve' if certain conditions are met.]

[Level has risen!]

[Level has risen!]

[Level is .]

[ ] It's up!]

[You have acquired the 'Witch's Secret Book'.]

[You have obtained the 'Screaming Apple'.]

[ ] has been obtained.]

A number of items appeared with a message notifying the level up.

However, there was no time to check how many levels were raised and what items were dropped.

'Are you coming at last?'

Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva.

huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo

Following the indescribable glow, a vicious demonic energy of unfathomable depth rose.

Jittery!

Cold energy transmitted through the skin.

There is no need to check

A named Demon Clan with the title was coming over here.

Oooh!

Tristan burst out in shock.

As if he had been compensated for all his pain and suffering, even a single tear was flowing from his trembling eyes.

Damn, whoever sees it would think that even a dead ancestor would come back alive.

It's amazing to see the completely shriveled expression on his face.

That was then.

A cheerful male voice could be heard through the mist.

Kyaa! It's been a while since I've seen the air down there. Hahaha. Yes. This is it. It's very fresh. It's a taste I really missed.

Black horns and emerald eyes.

An exotic-looking young man with dark hair and pure white skin walked out.

Jinhyuk reflexively activated 'Eyes of Gluttony'.

[Name: Hargan / Title: Count / Intermediate Demon Clan.]

[Eye of Gluttony's level is too low to check unique abilities, skills, and copy conditions.]

At best, the only information that can be confirmed with the 'Eyes of Gluttony' is the name and title of the gnome.

However, that is enough.

The humble servant meets the great.

Tristan quickly shook her head.

Yeah, that's right. You've worked really hard. You still have a sore throat, but thanks to you, I think I'll be able to heal myself properly.

Thank you for saying that.

But, what else is that guy? Why is he holding his head stiffly at the human subject?

Hargan's gaze turned to Jinhyuk.

The author is the one who seeks to disturb us and ruin the plans of the great. Many of our colleagues have already lost their lives at the author's hands.

Hmm. Who is that guy?

Yes. We must kill him immediately. He is very dangerous.

Tristan glared at Jinhyuk with eyes full of hostility.

Yeah. I'm very proud of the appearance of a strong Demon Clan. Well, if it's a Count-level Demon Clan, it's good enough.

A monster that makes you shiver just by encountering it.

Clearly, he is an absolute that far exceeds the level of a player.

But do you know that?

You're not the only one who can summon a Demon Clan.

It is true that the Tomb of the Antichrist is a place where the Demon Clan can be manifested, but the target is not necessarily defined as one.

Actually, there's one leech-like guy that's interested in me too.

You're probably still watching... .

Again, sparks occurred in the air.

[divinity 'rotting heart' yawns.]

hey!

You shouldn't be bored here.

Jinhyuk hurriedly waved his hand toward the air.

are you watching I'm not watching, so pretend you know.

However, no matter how much Jinhyuk pretended to know, he only sent an indirect message full of annoyance and showed no sign of moving.

Anyway, my ass is terribly heavy.

Hey. Are you saying that you were a human being favored by the Demon Clan?

Hargan growled as if intrigued.

"To say that I'm a favorite is grandiose and I'm getting a little bit of love calls."

You must have caught a rotten copper cord somewhere. Well, if it's a Demon Clan that's still interested in humans, who are still young chicks, it's not worth looking at. It must also be just garbage...

Hargan, who was talking, suddenly stood tall.

...?

just now. I felt something creepy.

A strong mana as if his whole body was being torn apart.

Someone, who had been pretending not to know, responded to the word 'garbage'.

What, what is this absurd demonic energy?

Hargan took a step back in surprise.

[divinity 'Corrupting Heart' tilts his head toward Hargan.]

[Demon world asks how old you are from the military academy.]

He just showed his weak presence.

However, that alone was more than enough to completely change the air.

You bastard! Who the hell are you asking such a thing? Show your identity right now!

[I command you to answer whatever the divinity 'Corrupting Heart' asks.]

Again, Hargan's body atrophied.

I can't believe that the spirit has such a strong authority.

I absolutely can't resist

Hargan realized that things were going strangely and slowly opened his mouth.

I, I am 3537. I also got the rank of count there.

hmmm. 3537 Gira.

I don't know the details of the demon world, and I don't know if this is high or low.

If you look at it confidently, it seems that you are closer to the high end.

Beriel. What age group are you from?

Jinhyuk looked into the air and asked.

[divinity 'the rotting heart' spreads out three fingers.]

hey

This is totally popcorn angle.

Demon Clans are so militant that they change ranks frequently.

Shouldn't it be said that there are no tribes that are so active in their inflow and outflow?

Among them, Beriel was very closed-minded, so many Demon Clans did not know him.

sure.

As long as some of that level has been revealed, no matter how insensitive the Demon Clan may be, he will have no choice but to feel that Beliel's level is out of the norm.

From the moment I found out that this place was a holy horse, I planned to create the current situation.

Fortunately, everything worked out as desired.

'It would have been a little dangerous if Hargan hadn't told Beriel that he was trash.'

It's undeniable that luck was right with it.

If Beriel, the capricious person, hadn't been able to help, he would have had to stick with Hargan one-on-one.

Well, by the way.

Now is the time to put an end to it.

Jinhyeok walked over to Tristan, who was frozen.

Hargan, who has been completely rearranged, has returned to the demon world with his tail clenched.

Tristan has become a full-blown barley sack.

It's a little sad to see the soul go out like this, but the misfortune is not over.

It's difficult to be frustrated like that, haven't you forgotten that? Hargan, who played with your nonsense, won't stay still?

"You mean you won't be standing still?"

Of course. I was beaten by a dog, there's no way I can stay still, right?

Hey, this isn't my fault... it's not something I could have predicted...

I'm sorry, but that's not important to him. He just needs something to avenge on.

This is why contracts with the Demon Clan are not meant to be taken lightly.

Because the board could turn over at any time depending on my mood.

Unless you've prepared 100 lives... well.

You'll never survive long.

"I can I can."

Tristan's face turned into a blank slate.

Hey, what should I do?

how do you

"First, get down on your knees."

Let's talk about it later.

An evil smile appeared on Jinhyuk's lips.
