A regular hexagonal box with a subtle silver color.
Whoa. I thought this would come out here
Jinhyukâs eyes narrowed.
The random skill box is a kind of dismantling item. The type of reward is determined by how many tightly sealed boxes are dismantled.
âIn a word, it means that the more you dismantle it, the better you can acquire among the skills on the 20th floor.â
However, dismantling the random box is a story after a while.
When everyone around you has disappeared. Thatâs when itâs time to pull the skill out of this box.
âMr. Jinhyeok!â
âGo, player Kang Jin-hyuk!â
The players who had been watching the battle trembling in fear came running.
All of them have tired faces.
Since I came to the 20th floor, I have been constantly being chased, so of course I have no choice but to reach my limit.
âAre you feeling better?â
âYes. Thanks to Jinhyeok-ssiâs timely arrival, we were spared from being annihilated.â
Theresa nodded.
Then, as if they had waited, the others expressed their gratitude.
âThank you so much. I thought everything was wrong. I thought everything was overâ¦â â
I gave up everything when the engineering chief abandoned us.â
âHow the hell am I supposed to repay this favor⦠Player Kang Jin-hyeok is our guildâs benefactor.â
Sobs echoed everywhere.
I thought I was really dead.
They would lose their lives one by one while being brutally hunted.
but.
At the worst moment, the strongest ally appeared.
Thatâs what the deceased corporation is all about.
âReally, everyone was amazing. I heard that only outstanding members are selected, but seeing it in person, that word was rather abbreviated.â
Carlos The man who participated as the leader of the magic troops in this raid muttered with a face full of emotion.
The deceased corporationâ¦.
Even if the top rankers from a large guild come, can you deal with one of them?
Even if Olympus and all the other 6 guilds were combined, it was doubtful whether they would be able to follow their toes.
âOf course, there are some large-scale rookies coming out recently.â
Due to the magical energy from the Tower of Trials, those who had begun to awaken as latecomers were joining one after another.
Among them, there were those who had outstanding talent.
Just like Faydon, who is currently the vice-master of the Olympus Guild.
Even so, it was absurd to put them on the same line as Chun Yu-seong or Alice and compare them.
ââ¦Besides that muscular grandfather and blue-haired girl are beyond imagination.â
The image of him sweeping away the insects a moment ago is still stuck in his mind.
Thatâs a huge gap.
They are rankers who can play the role of a single raider.
âThe knight in the white armor must have been a very powerful personâ¦â
Carlos glanced to the side.
There was Abraham, who was servicing weapons, and Pesis, who was tending to the wounded.
Even at a glance, the two seemed far from ordinary.
But the most absurd thing isâ¦
âItâs player Kang Jin-hyuk.â
Carlos managed to calm his trembling fists.
An out-of-spec boss that overwhelms the entire raid.
Even among the Paladins, Teresa, who was ranked among the worldâs top tiers, including the Holy See, was no match for that monster.
Jin-hyuk, who unilaterally pressed down such a hopeless enemy⦠From Carlosâ point of view, he could only look like the sky.
âCollect the wounded and prepare to camp. We will spend the night here.â
âYeah? Camping?â
Hearing that he was camping, Carlos and the rest of the players were startled.
âAre you worried about the cult guys?â
âYes, yes.â
Although the crisis was passed immediately, the chasing of the leech-like church did not end yet.
Since we have been relentlessly targeting this side until now, we will continue to tighten the encirclement.
âDonât worry. Iâll make it through tonight at least.â
Jinhyuk smiled brightly.
[Currently, a âWide Illusionâ barrier is activated in a radius of 15 km.]
I have already set up a barrier around the forest.
Since I came to this place quickly, 6 stars was the limit, but since I set it to 3, it wonât be easy to destroy it.
ï¼ï¼ï¼
The players of the coalition raid all fell into a deep sleep.
And Jinhyeokâ¦
was in a pretty difficult situation and was sweating.
The origin of the case is as follows.
Since youâre hungry, letâs procure food in moderation nearby.
And wouldnât it be better to eat something delicious to eatâ¦
âIt was good up to that pointâ¦â
Jinhyeok pressed his throbbing head.
The problem is that this has become overheated because it is not competitive.
âContractor. Doesnât this look cute? You have to eat this, okay? Make sure to use this, not the others.â
âOh my gosh. My little boy brings something that looks like heâll die instantly if he eats it. Are you offering it as an ingredient? These beautiful mushrooms would be much better than that.â
ââ¦All of them have a 0% survival rate. What I brought is the most recommended as food.â
Alice and Frey, and even Teresa, who was clumsily darkened as if she had self-restraint for some reason.
In front of the bonfire, the witches of the Mist Village were also crying and a terrible meal was being prepared.
Jinhyeokâs gaze turned to the ingredients each brought.
First of all, Alice, who is appealing the most passionately, brought the corpse of an insect unknown to her.
Insects with three legs were the first to see while playing the Tower of Trials.
As Elise said, it looked cute, but seeing that it had purple thorns, I instinctively felt that it was dangerous.
However, when they ate the mushroom Teresa had picked up, it was a poisonous mushroom called the âwidowmakerâ.
âIsnât it common knowledge that poisonous mushrooms are usually fancy?â
I donât know what I was thinking of bringing mushrooms that glow in rainbow colors.
Finally, Frey also brought terrible ingredients.
âItâs a gray wasp nest and honey.â
The taste is insanely good and even addictive, but if consumed in excess of a certain amount, there is a risk of falling into a terrible hallucination.
It would be better to see it as a drug rather than food.
âSo who are you going to eat? Mine of course? Huh? Contractor!â
âNo sane person would eat anything the kid brought with him.â
âNu-who is calling me a kid! You foolish saint!â
âHoney⦠good for the body.â
If you donât make a choice, you will be forced to feed them.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
In fact, everyone gathered their magic and surrounded Jinhyeok as if they were surrounded.
Of course, there is no way out.
If I didnât make a choice, I might have to eat them all.
âPuhaha! As expected, after a victory, a glass of rice wine is the best. Disciple. If you finish the food the chefs gave you, you should have a drink with the principal. I brought 30 Dong, so I can sleep well until I finish drinking. donât think about it.â
Even the darkness was laid with huge drinking bowls. Only with solo alcohol over 60 degrees.
ââ¦â
This place is hell.
Or at least a place similar to hell.
Jinhyuk slowly closed his eyes.
With a face that gave up on everything.
âWhoops. If youâre envious of the Master of Heaven, will this teacher get you something delicious?â
ââ¦â¦Itâs okay. Master, you eat a lot.â
Chun Yoo-seong ate one of the fruits of the tree.
like that.
The night got deeper and deeper.
ï¼ï¼ï¼
Landscapes that seem out of this world.
A night sky lined with gloomy constellations and red giants enters.
and.
that buck
Nyarlathotep moved along the path where the bizarre plants grew.
ââ¦â
Keeping my mouth shut, I just look straight ahead and walk.
Considering his usually cheerful personality, the atmosphere was very heavy now.
It had to be.
What was to come after a while was the kind that even Nyarlathotep would not be happy with.
How long did it take?
At the end of the plants dyed black, there was a beautiful looking alien species with long pink hair.
half-man and half-man.
The upper body was human, but the lower body was that of a goat.
Sitting on a throne made of black twigs and immersed in thoughts, it was not only enchanting, but also dreamy.
and towards her.
âmother.â
Nyarlathotep spoke slowly.
Then, without reaction, the being sitting on the throne turned his head.
âYouâre late.â
âSorry, I had a little business to deal with.â
âYes. Thatâs right. I heard that the Old Guard was damaged.â
short impression.
But what that meant was never light.
cooong!
âKeugh!â
Nyarlathotepâs back bent 90 degrees.
Nyarlathotepâs whole body trembled thinly at the magical power that transcended cognition.
Shub Nigurath.
True to her nickname of being the mother of all things, she dared not even fathom the end of her bodyâs strength.
Even Nyarlathotep couldnât stand it.
âThat, thatâsâ¦â
âYeah, tell me now. Iâm waiting for you.â
âI was just trying to steal the crown from a human for our future. If itâs not a huge power and itâs just one player, thereâs plenty of potentialâ¦
â ?Evidently, even though I saw clearly that the human drove this mother out.â
Shub Nigurath rose from his seat.
The plants split left and right, and giggling laughter began to fill the air.
âHa, butâ¦! Wasnât that guy using an expedient way to deal with his mother?â
Nyarlathotep protested with a furious face. Shub Nigurath calmly continued.
âThe first hourglass began to go down.â
âNo wayâ¦! Are you saying that the law of causality flows?â
Nyarlathotepâs eyes popped open.
âThe First Hourglassâ is a kind of foreknowledge of the future.
Like the Greek âthree goddesses of fateâ or Edenâs âRevelationâ, it creates a powerful future.
Unlike the rest, which foresee the future broadly, âThe First Hourglassâ foresees only one thing.
The fact that someone entered on the 50th floor.
âYes. Sooner or later. Someone will come to where we live. And that person must be that human.â
Unlike prophecies of other tiers, which are subject to interpretation. There is no such thing as interpretation in âThe First Hourglassâ.
It means that as long as the sand starts to fall, someone will surely reach the 50th floor.
âYour mother overestimates that human. There are many strong people under the tower. But, are you saying that he will come here?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Originally, this is nonsensical.
No matter how prominent they were, players who had only been in the tower for a few years. Reaching the top of the tower was impossible.
but. Shub Nigurathâs face was more confident than ever.
âThis is why I canât fall asleep. The toys that will soothe my boredom are constantly coming out.â
softly.
A grain of sand falls in an hourglass.
âDeliver the order to the minions released on the lower floor of the tower. We will also join the power war from now on.â
Correspondingly, the beings on the 50th floor began to move.
