Episode 344. The Great Power of the Upper Level (2)
ââ¦â
Information about Hastings.
Jinhyuk bit his lip gently at the unexpectedly great subject.
One of the cards I really wanted to get my hands on came out.
Because he was so shrouded in a veil, it was difficult to know his plan in the past, but now he can confirm it.
âJust to hear the story, join Eden
.
It is definitely a place with many advantages over other options.
The members are also strong and above all, they are superficial with the demon world, so we were able to create various variables in the future.
But before making a choiceâ¦.
Tring!
[Lv15 âEye of Gluttonyâ is activated!]
Jinhyeokâs eyes penetrated the opponent.
however.
[The archangelâs protection is activated!]
As if waiting, a golden mist appeared.
âKuk!â
cold and
Intense pain rose in Jinhyukâs eyes.
It felt like it was being pierced from the top of my head to my spinal cord.
âWhoops. Itâs against the law to look behind the curtain. We also have some understanding of the skill type that player Kang Jin-hyeok possesses.â
Gabriel smiled brightly.
I knew it. It is not easy to obtain information through the âeyesâ in front of a higher deity.
Of course, even if that wasnât the case, there was a way to find out what the other person wanted.
âOkay. Iâll stop messing around here.â
âDoes that mean youâll accept our offer?â
âThatâs not it.â
Jinhyuk shook his head.
âIâm sorry to hear of the refusal. I just thought youâd really want to know more about Hastings.â
Umâ¦
âIâm sure youâre mistaken, but I said Iâm not joining your faction. I didnât mean to give up information about Hastings.â
âyes?â
âI will hand over one corresponding piece of information from my side.â
âYou mean to exchange some kind of information? With us?â
âThatâs right. Itâs probably a story that appeals to Eden as well.â
It was then.
âThatâs ridiculous.â
The male angel who had been watching quietly intervened.
âYouâre saying that youâd dare to make a deal with us with knowledge thatâs not even a speck of dust, when itâs not enough to make an offer to someone like that?â
âStop it, Damiel.â
Gabriel restrained him, but the male angel did not give in easily.
âBut. Archangel. Isnât that what I mean? At best, the author knows that there is a rare item in the middle of the tower, a slobber⦠Isnât that a wonderful thing in itself?â
Damiel snorted.
but.
In the words that followâ¦
âI have the crown, but the reason why I canât get close to the 50th floor borderline. Isnât that all because I donât have âthe bookâ?â
Demianâs expression, saying that everything is bad, changed 180 degrees.
ââ¦How did you do that?â
I couldnât help but feel embarrassed.
One of the holy relics that are absolutely necessary to safely navigate the 50th floor.
âNecronomicon.â
It is a magic book that contains all kinds of information about the 50th floor and the ancient gods.
But to think that a forbidden book known only among the gods would come out of the mouth of a single player.
I just couldnât believe it.
âI know where parts of the book are. Give me information about Hastings and Iâll tell you where parts of the book are also.â
âThis⦠Youâre a more dangerous man than I thought. A person like you.â
Gabriel also muttered, unable to hide his embarrassment.
Just knowing the existence of the book is not likely to be false.
Thenâ¦
âOkay. Letâs make a deal.â
Gabriel accepted the offer.
ï¼ï¼ï¼
[You paid for one blue dragonâs yeouiju as the entrance fee.]
The manager at the entrance looked at the yeouiju carefully and then nodded.
It means that the entrance fee is sufficient.
âThen, I hope you have a comfortable auctionâ¦â
The manager stepped aside and the huge door opened on both sides.
The great auction house that appeared like that.
It was quite busy inside, probably because many deities had already attended.
âAt least the magic stonesâ¦â
âThe fifth item must come from usâ¦â
ââ¦Yes. I know.â
Most of them were talking with the factions they belonged to and discussing how to get their hands on the items to be exhibited this time.
however.
that buck
When Jinhyeok entered the auction house, the buzz disappeared like a lie.
Everyoneâs eyes turned this way.
A rookie who has already reached the middle level of the tower in less than two years since the âTower of Trialsâ appeared.
A much-talked-about ranker who drove out the strongest existence that even the gods couldnât do anything about.
Countless towers have appeared in countless dimensions throughout history, but this is the first time a player has climbed a tower so quickly.
Of course, attention must be focused.
âIs that guy Kang Jin-hyeok?â
âThatâs right. Heâs a person whose name has been mentioned several times on our side as well.â
âHe played a big role in the war between Murim and the Empire. It was because of him that he took care of the demons of the Heavenly Demon Church.â
âIf itâs Samaja, isnât that the candidate that the monkey of Jecheondaeseong tried to make as his apostle?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHoho. Seeing that thereâs a lot of distorted faces, it looks like heâs right.â
Each of the deities uttered a single word.
Right then.
Parts!
Black sparks rose in all directions.
Unlike those who watched from afar, they approached with open hostility.
He is an impressive man with long protruding tusks and a red tattooed face.
âI finally get to see that goddamn face. My men owe me so much in so many ways, I really desperately wanted to meet them.â
Anger oozes from every word.
thereâs no way you wouldnât know
How could I not know?
Guntafer.
As one of the commanders of the Pandemonium Corps, I once bumped into one of his subordinates in the body of giants.
Since I made a grand plan through the demons into nothingâ¦
Thereâs no way heâll have good feelings for you.
And next to him was a man wearing armor with a pattern symbolizing Ataraxia.
Exension.
Did the current head of Ataraxia, who betrayed Alice, attend this auction?
Jinhyukâs eyes narrowed.
â¦strong.
so overwhelming.
When he met the family heads on the lower floor of the tower, his power was limited, but he was able to exert his full strength here.
The various weapons worn on the body were also only top-notch holy relics that were known by name.
âWhether itâs an auction or a nabbing, itâs all I want to do is cut your throat.â
Guntaferâs claws sharpened.
âYou want to vent your anger against me alone in front of so many gods?
âI guess you donât know much about the deities, but they donât care about your life. Itâs a deity to move only when thereâs a little bit of benefit to them.â
Of course, power is the rule and law here.
A resident or player must belong somewhere as an apostle in order to survive among the gods.
Of course, Jinhyeok, who does not belong anywhere, is nothing more than a prey that can be easily dealt with.
that was common sense
That was the current position in the food chain.
Thatâs right.
Thatâs right, butâ¦
just one.
Guntaper is misunderstanding something.
âSorry, but Iâm pretty popular.â
âWhat nonsense⦠Whoa!? You bastard!â
Guntafer, who was talking, suddenly raised his voice.
âHmm. Whoâs going to cut off whose head? He promised to become my apostle. In other words, it means that he is a player supported by the Pandemonium.â
Beriel intervened.
âThis guy will become the Black Apostle of the Demon Realm?â
âYes. Apostle? Me? Me?â
This time, both of them were surprised at the same time.
Oh right.
In the battle with Shubnigurath, I became an apostle to lure this guy out, so I was wondering what to do.
It was a lie that I didnât even mean, so I forgot about it.
The memory of selling Cheon Yoo-seong as a bonus also came to my mind very faintly.
âSo youâd better keep that hand off. Unless you want to go to war with me.â
âBeriel⦠You filthy fallen angel! Isnât it too arrogant to say that the devil loves you? I know that you will betray us at any time, even if the others donât know.â
âBetrayal⦠Thatâs a word Iâm uncomfortable with.â
âWhat would you do with a turtle?â
âWhat the heck. Iâm thinking of cutting off his head and hanging it in front of my castle gate.â
Parchit!
Pantsâ¦!
The air suddenly became heavier.
I didnât know what kind of disaster would happen if the war of nerves between the gods spreads to a battle.
Even more so if you are in a situation where you can use your bodyâs power perfectly.
However, the magic power that went to the extreme did not come to an end.
âLetâs go! Youâve waited a long time. Iâm a little late because there are many things to prepare.â
A beastman with the appearance of a dainty rabbit appeared in the center before he knew it.
As soon as the auction started, Beriel shrugged and stepped back.
âAre you running away?â
âUnlike you, Iâm quite interested in this auction. You too, donât lose your strength and enjoy the auction at your leisure. Shouldnât you be getting something from this auction to raise your stupid apostle?â
ââ¦Kuh. You rottenâ¦â
Guntafer clenched his fists.
But it didnât make a fuss any more than that.
As Beriel said, it was also important to grow the apostles.
âEveryone. Since you seem to be serious, then letâs start the long-awaited auction. The first thing Iâd like to introduce is a hot new item I just got from the 45th floor of the tower a week ago!â
Let the rabbit snap his fingers. A huge glass box appeared on the empty floor.
Inside, a claw over 3m was stored,
which is the claw of one of the ancient species, âBehemothâ.
As a beast with a huge body, the size of even a part of its toenails was beyond imagination.
âA Behemoth.â
âItâs an ancient species thatâs hard to see, so youâre saying it was on the 45th floor?â
âYou managed to find a trace of it.â
It is not a lie to say that the island is swallowed up.
The basic bidding for magic stones alone was 700 million.
However, when the divine powers joined, the units of the magic stones changed in an instant.
â10 billion!â
â1.5 billion!â
âThree billion!â
â8 billion!â
Behemothâs claws would be the best material to make weapons or armor.
However, it is at a level where I donât even dare to intervene.
âAre you doing the spectating, kid? Ah! Well, thereâs nothing left to do except spectating. Itâs not a place for a broke person like you to interfere. Hahaha!â
Guntaper burst into madness.
But Jinhyeok remained silent.
ââ¦â
The purpose of coming here in the first place was not like that.
âPandoraâs box was won by Hermes from Olympus!
â The transcendent magic stone was auctioned off by Gabriel from Eden!â âThe elemental heart
was
auctioned off by Uasis, who came as an agent of the spirit realm
!
â The item I want to introduce to you isâ¦!â
The auction item that will be the highlight of this auction has appeared. It
finally
came out
