Episode 721 Preparation for the Great War (2)
In front of the strange hexagon-shaped building, the Halloween parade was reaching its peak.
thud! thud! thud!
Puff puff poop! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
March and fireworks. And a festival that combines alcohol and music!
It was a new experience, but it was a moment where I realized once again how grand and huge Halloween is in my hometown.
“Is the work completed well?”
Gray, wearing a hood, opened his mouth.
“so so. “I paid back what was due and got what I deserved.”
“Seo Jeong-hee is quite a famous person. “I don’t know what they were thinking, but they did something that I couldn’t handle getting rid of simply out of revenge.”
“Well, that’s something I have to worry about.”
“haha. Really, I have to give you some credit for your guts. “Actually, that’s the only way something like this can happen.”
“It’s okay to talk loudly, please just bide your time. “The more flashy and eye-catching it is, the higher the chances of success will be.”
“No matter what country it is, more than 30 minutes is too much. “You know, right?”
“That’s enough.”
Jinhyuk lightly relaxed his joints.
From now on, you will have to infiltrate the most heavily guarded place in the world except the Tower of Trials.
like that.
Everyone moved to their respective positions.
* * *
Oooh!
Rogues dressed in Star
“Hiss. Hiss.”
They were Dreadlore players wearing gray and white combat uniforms with black helmets.
And of course…
…that was the timing when people in Jedi cosplay were marching.
Jedi against the Empire.
It truly is a moment that warms your heart.
“Oooh! “What did the organizers prepare?”
“This Halloween is going really well!”
“good. Let’s hang out as much as we can!”
“May the Force Be with You!”
Two waves tangled on the road.
“Wow!”
“Push!”
A huge roar rang out.
Suddenly, a large-scale war event occurred in the middle of the parade. The aftermath of a franchise soaring in popularity was beyond imagination.
So much so that it completely shakes the security of Hexa Tower.
Of course, the association is not stupid and has prepared for this situation.
Or rather, it would be more accurate to say that they preferred to have this kind of commotion happen.
[The 8-star confrontation system ‘Center of the Storm’ is activated!]
[The stronger the effects of ‘noise’ and ‘crowd’, the more advantage is given to the stealth of the base!]
The more noisy the barrier becomes, the denser and harder it becomes. Characteristics of. Therefore, the association deliberately built a hexa tower here and gathered the main items.
but.
Someone was deliberately destroying the cornerstones that formed the foundation of the barrier.
[The cornerstone of the barrier (East B-3) will be destroyed!]
[The cornerstone of the barrier (South D-8) will be destroyed!] This
makes no sense unless you are an insider of the association or a high-ranker of the 7 major guilds.
The problem is that there is no way to know who is destroying the cornerstone because so many people are crowded together.
“Turn on the CCTV!”
“What are the magic-loving barrier priests doing? “Without immediately understanding the situation.”
“Just in case, check the safe again.”
Alarm magic and various barriers and shields.
All manpower was mobilized to check such things.
so that.
Jerk.
They missed the essential thing.
[The 10-star barrier ‘Multiverse’ is activated!]
[The zodiac sign ‘Aquarius’ is activated!]
The same safe and the same defensive magic spread on it.
To be exact, the security guards at Hexa Tower believed that the fake safe imitating the original was real and tried to tightly guard it.
With this, all chances of additional saboteurs disappearing.
In other words.
This means that they have created a platform that allows treasures to be stolen without anyone’s interference.
‘It’s bad, but I think the other person was very bad.’
Jinhyuk took a step toward the real safe.
Gray distracted them and destroyed the cornerstones, giving them time to play pranks. As Jinhyeok, who had reached the peak of the barrier, this level of barrier was nothing more than a snack for a meal.
Right then.
A red phrase appeared before Jinhyuk’s eyes.
[The guardian of the vault awakens!]
When all the barriers were shattered, the trap prepared by the elementalists and summoners was activated.
okay. There were still more security measures left in the real safe.
“Koooooo!”
“Gooooh!”
The knights, their bodies covered in iron armor, took out various types of weapons.
In addition, various golems awakened in response to the intruders.
A large army that leaves you speechless even at a glance.
I heard that the association is manufacturing a large number of guardians to target the upper echelons. At this scale, it seemed possible to attack any number of ruins.
“It kind of makes sense what Gray said was crazy.”
In addition to the barriers and barriers, there were plenty of cards prepared.
of course.
The network of people I have accumulated while climbing the Tower of Trials for quite a long time is not easy. This means that they have called in enough strong reinforcements to fight.
“Giggle!”
“You mean I can kill as much as I want?”
Casey and Jude Law held long hellbirds and scythes.
“Whew. He said he would take me on a filial piety tour to the United States. “Was it all a scam?”
“I’m on vacation! Above all, why am I required to make 100 summoning sculptures every month!?”
Min Jeong-woo and Lee Yu-ri were also forced to board a plane to the United States against their will.
“So you don’t want to quit?”
Jinhyuk gently grabbed the dagger.
The effect was clear.
“I haven’t had a fight lately, so I’m feeling itchy. “Miss Yuri Lee.”
“Joochi! During vacation, I get into trouble. “I’ll show you how Hell Joseon college students have fun!”
[Min Jeong-woo activates ‘Fire Spirit’!]
[Lee Yuri activates ‘Red Sea Army’!]
Cuckoo!
Warriors made of fire and statues receiving Egypt’s protection became gigantic.
Both of them are players who specialize in large-scale battles!
This time, you will get a great deal on the price of the meal.
Immediately a huge battle broke out.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Quaaaang!
As the great army collided in a long line, magic power and the sound of explosions filled the field of vision.
And Jinhyeok leisurely crossed the gap and reached the association’s safe.
Titanium door reaching approximately 10m.
The thickness also seemed to be easily over 30cm.
Jinhyuk chuckled and placed his palm on the door.
“I’d like to try some martial arts after a long time.”
The quality of magical power has completely changed compared to when it was mainly used in the martial arts world.
[Dark Heavenly Demon Emperor’s 9th Type.]
Wow!
The magic power accumulated in the body rotated roughly counterclockwise.
[‘Nine Heaven’s Advent’ is activated!]
Ugly sparks exploded from the dark red storm.
Then at that moment.
Quad deud deuk!
The iron door began to cave in around my palm.
[The safe door opens!]
Coo!
Quaaaang!
Both sides of the door collapsed, front and back.
Thick dust came out.
And when my blurry vision returned, I felt drool running down my throat.
“Hey, look at these?”
Jinhyuk, who entered the safe, whistled.
No matter how new they may be, 7 billion is a treasure that people have worked hard to gather.
Among the items in the safe, there were even quite a few that could surprise Jinhyeok.
Still, the top priority is…
gathering the key materials needed for the upcoming great war against Eden.
[You have acquired ‘Arcella’s Golden Reins’!]
[You have acquired 1 kg of beeswax from Itklur Desert!]
Jinhyeok wandered around the inside of the safe with eagle eyes.
In addition to the core materials, everything that seemed useful was swept into the subspace inventory. Because time was so tight, it was quite a task to select only the key points.
“shit. “Time is running out.”
Gray lasts only 30 minutes.
Even if you made a fake bait, it will be discovered quickly.
If it is known that you have committed theft, it is obvious that everyone’s attention will be focused on you, so you must avoid that at all costs.
Then….
[Spirit beasts of the five major elements are summoned!]
“Master!”
“Did you call me?”
Subspace opened up and familiar spirit beasts poured out.
Among them, sweet potatoes, soft black cranes, havelian and fried food were included.
“okay. There’s no need for it because I don’t have time. When you look at it, it looks expensive… it’s not. “Collect and bring everything that looks delicious by your standards.”
The habits of Shinsoo and Hwansoo reacting to luxury goods. If you use it, you will be able to collect mainly the most expensive items.
In this way, a thorough division of roles was achieved.
[‘Lucid Dream Pill’ has been acquired!]
[‘‘10 top-level reinforcement books have been acquired!’]
[‘Golden Cloud Generator’ has been acquired!]
[…Acquired!]
Rumble.
As everyone poured out the items they had collected with both hands, a big smile appeared on Jinhyuk’s lips.
Amazing, Great.
No, this is a huge hit.
In fact, we only selected the most valuable items collected from the awakened associations of powerful countries. Although it was unfortunate that I was the only one not able to find the final product of the main event, it was no exaggeration to say that 99% of the goals were achieved.
no.
No.
Jinhyuk, who was satisfied, shook his head.
How did we become satisfied with 99%?
There are 15 minutes remaining.
There were still more corners left where mulberries could be picked.
Even if it’s not 100%.
…It must be filled to 99.99% for the stagnant water to be freed.
“Guys.”
Jinhyuk gathered everyone who worked hard.
“It’s dinner time now. Since we are distributing special meals, I hope that for the next 10 years, you will remember what happened today and repay the blessings of this body. Don’t complain or complain for no reason. got it?”
Facing a mountain of various magic stones in front of him, Jinhyeok spread his arms wide as if he were giving away his own.
“Mosquitoy!”
The sweet potato opened its mouth.
“Hmm. “For some reason, you prepared a table worthy of this noble body.”
“Miyooooo!”
“Crumbling!”
From soft black cranes, fried food, and the fantastic beast, Havelian.
“Oh oh! “Thank you, owner!”
“I’ll eat well!”
“lol. “If you think about it, wouldn’t our owner be a good person?”
“then! “The owner is the only one who takes care of us.”
“Everyone be quiet. Head hurts.”
The spirit beasts of the five major elements also ate up their appetites and rushed to the pile of magic stones.
Crunch!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
The sound of the magic stone breaking and being chewed rang loudly.
When exactly 30 minutes had passed.
The safe was reduced to little more than a ruin.
* * *
All the eventful events of modern times have been organized.
The association conducted a massive investigation to catch the Halloween thieves who stole their safe, but they were unable to find the culprits who committed the perfect crime.
In the first place, this was because the Dreadlore Guild, the main reference, openly obstructed the investigation and blocked all information.
-If you are dissatisfied, come to me at any time. Because I have no intention of just letting you keep picking on people without any evidence.
Gray, an EX-level ranker, threatens me, but what kind of association’s investigator will be able to investigate comfortably?
-We are having a hard time investigating Director Seo Jeong-hee. Player Jang Bo-kyung also said that he would completely withdraw from the investigation.
The Titan Guild, which could be considered a rival, and the Vatican, which had been destroyed by Teresa, were also limited in just handling their own affairs.
Thanks to this, Jinhyuk was free to take the next step.
This is the scene where a war in the demon world is in full swing.
“How are you?”
Jinhyuk appeared at the base where the allied forces of Egypt and Beriel were gathered.
“You’re finally here.”
“I thought my neck was going to fall off while I was waiting.”
Beriel and Anubis jumped up from their seats at the same time.
In this war that was so twisted, I was waiting more eagerly for Jinhyeok to come than anyone else.
“sorry. There are a lot of things to take care of outside the tower. “Did you say you were attacking Lucifer’s castle?”
“okay.”
“Hmm. “I understand that that place is infamous for being impregnable even within the tower.”
“We also brought a few hidden cards that can be exploited in our own way. But that’s not the problem.”
Beriel gestured to one side.
There, ‘Cheongha’, a member of the Miao tribe from the Chinese zodiac, was sitting with his legs crossed.
‘Hoo. Well, if this is the timing, we should slowly establish a relationship with the zodiac side.’
A third force consisting of 12 races.
Jinhyuk’s mind began to spin rapidly as to how to draw up a plan that would be most fun and exciting.
Then, just in time.
‘Oh, now that I think about it, I guess I could try using this?’
A diabolical plan has emerged that could throw the power structure into chaos.
