CH 347

Hidden Place on the 19th floor (1)

Jinhyuk looked into the homunculus's eyes.

His blue eyes twinkled as if they were being sucked in.

Hmm .

There is only one name you can come up with no matter how you think of it.

Jinhyuk's mouth opened slowly.

"Fray."

"Fray...?"

"Yeah. I'll call you Frey from now on."

"Good that's a name. I like it."

Frey nodded slightly.

I see that you are mistaken for something special... . I do feel a little sorry.

pray (to pray)

It's called prayer meta.

It was named to commemorate a miracle that occurred properly in the lucky game.

'At first, I was going to call it mincho, which is an abbreviation for mint chocolate, but I think Frey would be better. There seems to be.'

I'm glad Frey said he liked the name too.

But right then.

huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The 'Braham's Ring' on his right hand moved violently.

at the same time.

A different level of heat from before covered his entire body.

Maybe this reaction... ?

Whoops!

It was Elise with her eyes raised up that appeared with the flames.

"Elise?"

"This... this... this! Stupid contractor! Why did you pick up these things again!"

Elise screamed as if it would destroy the entire hotel at any moment.

It's a high frequency so sharp that it tingles your ears.

"Did I do something wrong?"

Frey tilted her head.

"No, you didn't do anything wrong. And Elise. Calm down and listen to me. No, put that skewer in. What the hell are you doing in the Sacred Hotel?"

If Jinjo's unique ability is activated here, the hotel will be turned to dust.

Needless to say, it's on the 9 o'clock news.

"Explain it. Briefly. Summarize it in three lines."

Elise managed to swallow the rage that erupted.

It's a natural story, but that's what I'm holding on to.

more than 3 lines. If we don't persuade them, we will destroy the earth.

"Fray is an auxiliary agent for battle. It's also very good. Besides, it's a homunculus, so you don't have to absorb nutrients through your meals, so you don't have to worry about how much you eat."

Jinhyuk gave explanations like a rapid-fire cannon.

A wonderfully coherent and objective summary.

However.

"My, did you think I was doing this because of rice? Seriously... did you only think of me that way?"

"Huh? Wasn't it?"

Just looking at it, I thought you were the happiest when you put a lot of food in your cheeks.

So, wasn't that why you actively discouraged new members of the military from coming?

Jinhyuk rolled his eyes.

and on that look.

"You fool!"

Elise's silver hair stood up in a crooked state.

This is unusual.

Mana coming up from the end of the abyss couldn't even fathom how deep it was.

"Ellie s?"

"die!"

Aww!

The entire hotel floor was engulfed in huge flames.

The 19th floor of the Tower of Trials.

In the spectacle of a huge waterfall flowing, several figures began to appear one by one.

"The time came like a sword."

Jinhyuk waved his hand toward the approaching man.

"Damn. Why did you choose a place like this? Give me a map from the beginning. I mean, I've been wandering for hours."

Cheon Yoosung grunted and complained.

Wet stones are quite slippery.

It would not have been easy to come to this place because it is located in a remote place even on the 19th floor.

On the other hand.

"Still, thanks to Jinhyuk, I can see all these places."

Teresa looked around curiously.

Soft mist and a beautiful rainbow rising below the waterfall.

There were three or three cute monsters that I had never seen before, and they were playing pranks.

Just looking at the scenery made me mistakenly thinking that they all came to famous overseas tourist destinations together.

"By the way, Mr. Jinhyuk. Who is next to you?"

Theresa pointed to the girl next to Jinhyuk.

With long blue hair hanging down. Holding a short spear.

It was a person I had never met before.

"Call me Frey."

"It's not a player "

"I'm not even a resident. The energy I feel on my body is different. Is it a summoned beast... or a doll?"

A quick glance.

"That's right. Homunculus. A creature created through alchemy. We met by chance while going upstairs."

"Isn't it just... he was just playing?"

Cheon Yoo-seong, who had added a word, nodded as if he understood.

"That's why Mr. Ellis isn't showing up. I wondered why I couldn't see him. It was for that reason."

"Huh? That's right. They told me to leave it alone for a while. But how did you know that?"

"Uh-huh. He seems like a dull guy... it's okay. I shouldn't talk."

Cheon Yu-seong clicked his tongue as if he was more tired.

It was a time when we were asking each other how to say goodbye and chatting little things.

multifaceted. multifaceted.

From far away, the sound of horseshoes began to resound.

is it finally coming

Jinhyuk's eyes narrowed.

The rest of the people turned their heads in the direction of the sound.

After a while, a familiar figure appeared through the trees.

four legs.

The upper body is a woman. And a resident whose lower body is shaped like a deer.

It is the 'Euasis' of the Dryad race.

I've already met her once at a masquerade. For this raid, I specifically asked him to contact me.

This is because the ruins on the 19th floor cannot even be entered without the permission of the residents belonging to the third power.

"Nice to meet you. Jinhyuk Kang player. And it's been a long time since I've seen the rest of you."

Yuasis smiled brightly.

"Thank you for taking the time on purpose. I didn't know if I would have to give up the raid itself if I said no."

"No. We also had to investigate this place recently, and the timing was just right."

investigation?

here?

"Something was there a problem?"

When Jinhyuk asked carefully, Yuasis's face darkened slightly.

"Remember not long ago, when there was a huge mana wave all over the tower?"

If it's a mana that covers the entire tower... .

50th floor.

This is the story of when Shub Niguras and the black goats came out downstairs.

"I know."

"At that time, something also changed in this ruins. It must be because I was influenced by such a heterogeneous mana."

Yuasis stared over the waterfall with a complicated face.

As a player, I can't feel it, but she seems to feel a sense of incongruity as she belongs to the third power.

"Come in. I'll be able to guide you halfway through."

Yuasis walked towards the waterfall.

KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa!

A black cave can be seen through the pouring water.

This is the entrance to the inside of the ruins.

only.

To enter it, certain conditions must be met.

'I also tried to enter without thinking before and died many times.'

Yuasis picked up a stone and threw it into the cave.

OK.

Kaga... go go go go!

Traces of a centipede had begun to appear on the surface of the stone.

"This is what happens when you just try to get in. Thanks to that, we were able to avoid interference from the outside."

"Then, how do we get in safely?"

"Please wait."

Pants!

Yuasis injected mana into a staff made of vines.

Runes appeared along the blue mana. The typified mana rotated gently along the entrance to the cave.

right at that moment.

[The 10-star barrier 'water seal' is released!]

[SS-class curse 'Vortex of Doom' is canceled!]

[Optical illusions and hallucinations disappear.]

Status window that appears in succession.

The obstacles surrounding the entrance to the cave disappeared at once.

also.

For this reason, in order to attack these ruins, the existence of Euasis is essential.

I don't know how the interior has changed with Shub Niguras... .

You will soon be able to see the inside story.

Everyone entered the ruins, with Uasis at the forefront.

like that.

Darkness engulfed my vision.

hot and

A hot breeze hit my skin.

"ね!"

"here is ?"

Cheon Yu-seong and Teresa covered her face with both hands.

Even when I'm still, my breath is suffocating and my whole body feels like it's going to burn.

desert No, it's hotter and drier than that.

" "

Only Frey looked around with an expressionless face.

"It can be a bit difficult for players. The temperature rises to 70 degrees during the day and drops to minus 100 degrees at night. You can protect your body to some extent with mana, but you'll need to arrange it properly."

I guess so.

You should be here for at least a week.

Mana and physical fitness are essential virtues.

But that was then.

"Something. There is."

Frey looked around and opened his mouth.

Half-tempo slow, Cheon Yuseong also sensed its presence.

"In the sand. The number is about ten. Are they the predators that live here?"

"It's a sandworm. If you see them living near the entrance, they're pushed out of the food chain, so don't worry too much. They'll pop up exactly 3 seconds after you feel the vibration under your feet, so let's aim for that moment together."

"Player Jinhyuk Kang how do you know all that?"

As Jinhyuk explained fluently, Yuasis opened her eyes wide.

"I once attacked a dungeon in a similar environment from the bottom of the tower."

"Ah... but between there and here..."

"come!"

The sand shook violently with Teresa's cry.

kukuku kuk kook!

1 second, 2 seconds... 3 seconds.

"Koooooooh!"

"Kie-ee!"

A huge mouth was revealed from the sand cracked left and right.

A sandworm with hundreds of teeth tried to swallow them whole.

However.

In the first place, they chose the wrong prey.

[The unique ability 'Song of the Sword' is activated!]

Scratch!

Sandworm's body was torn to pieces.

"It's been chasing from the start. That's why I'm just tired of following you."

As Cheon Yu-seong swung his sword lightly, green body fluid from the blade was scattered.

"Kee!"

The sandworms immediately changed their target.

Sand spurted out in all directions.

The intention is to block the view and attack in between.

of course.

[The unique ability 'Star Blessing' is activated!]

That attempt also failed.

huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Light falling from the sky.

A holy unique ability devoured the Sandworms alive.

Chi profit!

Without even screaming, the bodies of the sandworms disappeared as ashes.

"There's no time to be bored on a desert trip."

Regardless, they are still strong colleagues.

Because the monsters that inhabit here were far stronger than the other places.

maybe .

This member should be able to go deep enough into the ruins.

Some places may not be formidable, but if you prepare properly, there are plenty of possibilities.

Jinhyuk's gaze turned to a faraway place in the desert.

'The crown the Heavenly Demon threw away must be here somewhere... .'

Attacking the ruins was also important, but the first goal was to retrieve the crown.

The time has finally come to acquire one of the most important relics in the Tower of Trials.
