Crown of Doom (2)

The time when Jinhyuk and Hound were facing each other.

huuuuuuuuuuuo!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

A wave of red blood swept the area.

As the huge sand dune collapsed in one blow, drops of blood flew everywhere.

"ね!"

Blackrock bit his tongue.

A war situation that had been going favorably until a while ago.

However, with the intervention of a new variable, things started to turn strangely.

'Ellis von Ataraxia... Is it the former head of state who was kicked out by other heads of state?'

In his heyday, he was an absolute that no one could touch.

'If you came then, all the Old Guard, including the captain, should have buried their bones here.'

Even if the Old Guards are hunting dogs that hunt the heroes in the tower, they cannot hunt the rankers of the Primary God class.

However.

It's all a story assuming the past.

What's in front of you right now is just a fragment of it.

kukukuku!

The red blood rushed out again.

At the same time, Yuasis' arrow pierced the air.

kwaang!

kwaaang!

A tricky attack.

Of course, you don't have to respond to each of these.

As long as it takes time, victory will lean this way anyway.

as if to prove it.

"Now it's done!"

A sharp shout rang out.

[The unique Holy Spear 'Peterops' Slayer' is activated!]

[Crawling Breath of Darkness has been used!]

A new unique Holy Spear was activated on the side of Selly, who was facing the Celestial Planet.

As the relics received from Nyarlathotep merged, faint shadows began to appear all at once along the ground.

"Kurre..."

"Keeek!"

The shadows soon formed an older brother.

They are eight-legged, red-eyed beasts.

It was difficult for each of them to have unusual mana, but it was the number that really mattered.

Even if you estimate by eye, there are more than a hundred.

No matter how hard the sweet potatoes or spirit beasts were, they could not deal with this number.

"Hey, is this a bit too much?"

"Yeah. That's right. You have to run away."

"But wouldn't it be better to die by those guys than to die by the master for disobeying orders?"

"Everyone, be quiet. My head hurts."

The spirit beasts hesitated and backed away.

"Mooogi!"

At least the ancient species, sweet potato, did not lose momentum, but the demonic beasts, whose emotions were expelled, were also not afraid of the peers of the ancient species.

immediate situation.

It was the Beasts who broke the balance.

The beasts who narrowed the distance using their long legs at once began to attack everything they saw in front of them at will.

kukukuku!

The gnome surrounded a wall made of earth like a shield.

Undine and Sylphid unleashed a magic made of water and wind, making the barrier even stronger.

"Kie-ee!"

"Koooooooh!"

The beasts slammed themselves into the wall and climbed up.

A blade made of water and wind cut through the nails, but that was not enough to stop them.

The beasts who reached the top of the wall took a stance to jump downwards.

But it was then.

"Who do the lowly ones dare to attack, showing their teeth in front of whom?"

Elise's harpoon turned into a torrential rain.

poop!

Puppupuck!

Hundreds of harpoons made a hole in the body of the beasts.

"Kek!"

"Geek!"

Even the beasts who were able to withstand the magic of Undine and Sylphid could not withstand the bombardment of this relentless power.

In an instant, dozens of magical beasts fell off the wall and rolled on the floor.

like that.

At that moment when everyone was fighting fiercely.

' now!'

bang!

Jinhyuk left his seat and started running.

Towards the place where the crown of doom is located.

"You idiot!"

The hound immediately followed behind.

The opponent who lost his weapon lost his reason and turned his back... .

It is as if the match has now been decided.

All that's left is to stab that idiot in the back when he gets his hands on the crown.

Hound kept his distance coolly.

'Barrier... .'

Hound did not neglect his vigilance even while chasing after Jinhyuk.

His gaze ran around the sand.

About 6 stars.

Obviously, it is a barrier that reduces power.

It must have been that the companions who had arrived here first made the medium.

'I don't know what the excellent grade is, but you think that this barrier can weaken my mana.'

There really is only laughter.

No, it made me sad to think that this was the last trump card.

fault!

The hound accelerated a little more.

It was because he could see Jinhyuk's hand touching the crown.

aim for that gap.

Boo!

The sword was aimed precisely at the spinal cord.

I was thinking of taking my breath away with one blow.

However.

An unusual energy arose in Jinhyuk's body, who had only been running forward.

'Did you bring out any other weapons?'

Either way, it doesn't matter

Anyway, the limit of the mana the other person has is set.

Even if you pull out a more powerful relic other than the dagger from a while ago, it won't be a variable.

But,

creepy

"Uh, what !?"

Goosebumps appeared all over the Hound.

It is a terrifying mana.

Dare, so much that the end is hard to fathom.

'Sacrifice'.

If the fangs are destroyed arbitrarily, this is a special effect that increases the attack power by 100 times.

'I didn't know I was going to use it to copy abilities, but... Still, as a hidden card, it can do its job well.'

Jinhyuk opened his subspace inventory.

Last item I bought from Rick.

"Tree Frog Chocolate"

Option: Transfers the abilities attached to the item.

However, depending on the trait of the weapon, the degree of completion of the transferred ability varies.

misread.

He put the chocolate in his mouth, and the hot energy spread through his veins and throughout his body.

Normally, even if you took the tree frog chocolate, the efficiency of ability transfer is not high.

I don't know if a blacksmith about the size of Orun worked day and night for about a week.

This is because it was not easy in the first place to fix heterogeneous abilities to other items.

However.

There is one case where a 'perfect transfer' is possible without the help of Orun.

When the root of the item comes from a single root.

In other words.

When it is a weapon made from a Mythical beast called Pentagris, transfer can fully use its power.

uuung!

A long longbow appeared in Jinhyuk's hand.

Another symbol of Pentagris is 'molar teeth'.

The arrow made with 'Blessing of the Stars' and the effect of transferring the tree frog to chocolate were superimposed.

"I did not open the barrier that weakens mana to contain you."

Rather, it was to reduce the absurd destructive power through self-sacrifice.

With this, she was able to use her power to her heart's content without worrying about Teresa or Cheon Yu-seong getting involved.

"Eat it."

The protest at Jinhyuk's fingertips shook.

White light condensed into a single point.

The blazing white flame even gnawed at the surrounding air.

It is a blow that gathers all mana from close range and launches them.

There is no way to avoid it.

Tsutsu.

A single ray of light drew a long line.

Then a roar echoed along with the sound.

soon after

KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwak!

An unexpected storm raged.

"Aww!"

A long scream escaped the hound's mouth.

Chi profit... !

Long smoke billowed along where the arrow had crossed.

The crater created by burning sand had no end in sight.

As if to prove how powerful the blow was, the sound of thunder still crushed the eardrums.

"Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh..."

Jinhyuk took a deep breath.

A whopping 100 times the power.

The aftermath of activating Fang's special ability came all at once.

It felt like my whole body was being torn apart.

Even though the whole body was protected layer by layer with 'Blessing of the Stars' and barrier, each cell was screaming.

of course.

The opponent who is hit by this attack will not be able to survive.

I was sure that

Damn it.

"Your unique voice spear... it's completely out of standard. How do you keep breathing even with it?"

Jinhyeok had a bitter taste.

"Great..."

A hound slowly crawled up from the middle of the crater.

A missing arm and a tattered whole body.

His whole body was in bruises, but he didn't die.

It's a really, really, really hard body.

Because it was orthodoxly hit with the power to instantly kill even mythical beasts.

"This tear the one to kill ."

The hound staggered and walked away.

"Don't overdo it. Then you'll really die. You're going to get beaten up by a kindergartener in your current state?"

No, really.

Undine may even fall down with dew.

"Laugh...don't give up. You too... you don't seem to have the strength to lift a finger...but with this... you think it's over."

Even at this moment, the Hound's wounds were recovering rapidly.

10 minutes ahead.

If that's enough, you can go back to your original condition.

But, if it takes 10 minutes... .

The hound, twisted in anger, picked up what was in the sand.

the crown of doom.

The crown, which had been bounced off due to an attack a while ago, fell right in the vicinity of the Hound.

"If there is only this , killing one of you wouldn't be a thing. Giving him the crown is something to do after that."

The crown is the strongest relic that works even for beings on the 50th floor.

A person who writes this will be able to reach the realm of the Absolute.

"It's your dent that allowed me to hold this in my hands stupidly."

The hound wore the crown with a fishy smile on his face.

And at that very moment.

Kiki Kick Kick!

The first dissonance I had ever heard pierced my nerves.

"Ugh... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

A terrible scream escaped the hound's mouth.

The relic, which should be given enormous power, is rather trying to burn its own body.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

The Hound kept yelling as if he couldn't understand.

He tried to take the crown off again, but it didn't come off as if it had already stuck to his head.

"Uh why. What what is this ?"

Why,

"If the Crown of Doom is used by someone who is not qualified to be the owner, it turns into poison, not a relic."

Jinhyuk calmly shrugged.

"I don't know if it was you in a completely intact state. If you are in a state just before you die like now, you have no choice but to accept the crown as the owner."

Anyway, are there any restrictions on using the top-level Artifact?

"Maybe I was injured. I purposely put the crown in front of me. Was it for this?"

"I've put in some tricks to make you lose your cool. You're in charge of retrieval. Of course, I thought you might only know some of the Crown's traits."

The probability that Nyarlathotep told you everything about the crown converges to zero.

There's no way they could have told their subordinates that they could hurt them.

And faithfully carried out Nyarlathotep's orders without any doubts.

"That's why you lose this fight."
