Episode 64. Mine Association (2)
Ughhh!
The sound came from the shrine directly behind.
A gust of wind blew through the bamboo forest.
“What is it?”
“A magical response?”
Richao and Melena shouted at the same time.
Just a moment ago, there were only three people around here who had magical powers.
A fact that I have already checked and re-confirmed several times before coming here.
But not anymore.
A new energy arose from the old wooden building.
[The jangseung ‘General of the World’ has been designated as the opponent!]
[The jangseung ‘General Under the Ground’ has been designated as the opponent!]
Kuung! cooong! cooong!
with an earth-shaking roar.
Two wooden jangseung, about 5m in size, appeared.
[The jangseung ‘Great General under Heaven’ looks at the enemies.]
[The jangseung ‘General Under the Ground’ waits for the caster’s command.]
A pair of old trees that protected a village in the past.
It is the guardian deity of the land optimized for defense.
“I can’t believe it…”
An earthquake occurred in Liqiao’s pupils.
I would not have been so surprised if it was a Lich or a Death Knight that appeared in front of me right now.
“I’ve never heard of this ability.”
Melina couldn’t believe the situation at all.
That’s right.
The ability to handle summons is not very common.
Necromancers who dispose of corpses were only 3% of all jobs.
Elementalists who deal with spirits were rare enough to be counted among 100 people in the world.
And, at best, dealing with spiritual creatures or phantom beasts, could it be counted on one finger?
but.
none of them.
There was no player who could command a god.
“What the hell… what the hell is wrong with you!”
Liqiao shouted with a face mixed with despair.
＊＊＊
Jinhyeok smiled with satisfaction as he saw the jangseung approaching.
‘It’s been quite a while since I’ve called the Great General of the World and the General of the Underworld at the same time.’
The reason why I chose this right place among the many campsites was to use these guys through Anubis’ judgment.
Mana ran out while dealing with the Thousand Arms Guanyin.
It was a stage that had been elaborated in its own way to make up for that loophole, but thanks to the two people playing properly with the rhythm, things were solved easily.
“ah. You better not think about running away.”
Jinhyeok gave advice to Richao and Melena, who were backing away.
“Are you going to pursue it? Did you know that you are not yet whole?”
“that’s right. I can’t.”
A chase where you don’t know how long it’ll take.
My physical condition right now is absolutely unreasonable.
So…
“Isn’t that why you called the opponent to do it for you?”
The very moment Jinhyeok spoke.
[Jangseung ‘General Underground (地下女將軍)’ activates ‘No entry (出入不許)’!]
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
Thick vines began to sprout along the bamboo grove.
A huge number of vines swayed as if they were going to completely blockade the area.
“Break it! Don’t get trapped!”
Liqiao shouted and swung his sword.
“Sheesh!”
Melena followed suit.
Pupperpuppung!
A black bullet hit the wall made of vines.
The vine had a fairly large wound, but the speed of recovery was much faster.
In the place where it was burned, new flesh sprouted.
The green wave was getting thicker and thicker.
“Come this way…! We have to aim here!”
“Damn, I’m trying too!”
However, no matter how much he wielded his sword and wielded magic, it was useless.
It was because a necromancer who had just finished his 2nd job advancement couldn’t destroy the skills the jangseungs were using.
At the point where Anubis’ judgment was met, it was as if the match had already been decided.
“cheer up. yes! little bit more!”
Jinhyeok cheered for Richao and Melena who were struggling.
“Almost done! Go for it! can do. Gaza!”
Whoa!
It’s a bonus that I used the cheering balloons and vuvuzelas I bought at the coin exchange.
“zero!”
“car!”
“zero!”
“car!”
Jinhyuk raised his voice.
An act closer to humiliation than provocation.
“Kuaaa!”
In the end, Liqiao, impatient, stopped swinging his sword.
Then he turned the point of the knife dripping with life.
“Why do you want to stop cutting vines?”
“Anything like vines is fine. If I kill you, these damn things will be gone.”
hey you’re smart
“That’s right. If you kill the caster, the summons will naturally return to where they came from.”
But…
“Is that possible?”
If you’ve watched the fight with Thousand Hands Guanyin, you’ll know better than anyone else.
that you can’t do me
Wasn’t it that you were afraid of it in the first place, so you acted as if you were a normal player and even prepared Caligula’s coins?
“Don’t look down on me. Even a mouse bites when cornered.”
Liqiao exposed his fangs.
If you have a chance, you will be able to do it even if you are together.
However, Jinhyeok saw through the magic circle drawn under Liqiao’s feet.
Parts chutzu…
Faint magic power continued along the line.
A magic circle for short-range space movement often used by Necromancers.
look at this
You pretended to fight and then you were thinking of running away?
Alex, whom I met at the auction house, and Cedric, who is said to be his mentor.
How come all these guys act the same when cornered?
At this point, I even thought that there was an academy of its own within the Mine Association, and that it might teach escape classes there.
“I tried to capture it alive without harming it if possible, but it earns a lot of lashes.”
It’s a matter of course, but I didn’t have the slightest intention of letting go.
I put so much effort into it, but I can’t release all the prey I caught.
Jinhyeok nodded toward another jangseung behind him.
“Conquer it.”
A cold order.
[The jangseung ‘Great General Under Heaven’ activates ‘One Hundred Commandments’!]
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!
An invisible fist hit Liqiao’s head.
“Aaaagh!”
A scream of pain escaped Liqiao’s mouth.
However, the attack continued without a bird to come to his senses.
Quaang!
Kwaaang!
Liqiao’s body moved up and down.
Even though it’s incredibly fast, it’s an attack that’s heavy enough to crush every bone.
“Kouruk!”
Once more.
Kwaaang!
“Ouch!”
And once more.
It took less than 30 seconds before all the bones in his body were shattered.
“Aww…”
Liqiao, covered in blood, rolled on the floor.
It’s a miserable mock.
To the point where I think it’s a miracle to be alive.
rattle!
Melena’s body next to her also trembled like an aspen tree.
“How are you going to beat the guardian deity… class?”
There was less than a minute left before Caligula’s coin would activate, but I didn’t even dare to use it.
It is because he was completely intimidated by Jin-hyeok, who continued to show off his abilities beyond common sense.
Jinhyuk approached Melena.
“It seems that the situation has been roughly sorted out, so shall we have a conversation like a civilized person now?”
It would be easy if you could do ‘mind reading’ through ‘Eye of Gluttony’, but unfortunately, the level of the two was higher.
That means you can’t use the easiest method.
then.
I have no choice but to make the most of my ability to discriminate between truth and lies.
[Lv4 ‘Eye of Gluttony’ is activated.]
A different color flashed across Jinhyeok’s eyes.
“I’m going to ask you a question from now on, so please answer me honestly.”
“What… what are you curious about?”
Melena swallowed dryly.
“I’ve known about your existence since before, but to be honest, I don’t know the motives. If you can’t climb the tower, humanity will perish. But why are you interfering with the players and doing strange tricks?”
“That’s…”
Melena paused.
Right then.
“Speak…don’t do it. Shut up, Melena!”
Liqiao shouted in a strained voice.
‘Hoo.’
Even with that wound, you still haven’t lost your mind.
I have to admit that I have only one mental strength.
“It’s cool to be loyal to where you belong, but you should have covered the situation and location.”
In the first place, there are two people who can ask questions.
Even if at least one person is missing, there should be no problem with the interrogation proceeding.
Jinhyuk snapped his fingers.
“never…! Never say anything!”
Richao shouted at Melena.
And that’s it.
Wow!
It was the last will left by Liqiao.
An invisible force completely crushed Liqiao.
Although there were only two people, it was a scene worthy of the words “one bee and one hundred eggs.”
“Hey! the week is dead Li Liqiao…is really dead.”
Melena’s legs gave out, and she hit her buttock.
A pale complexion.
good.
Enough of the whips, now it’s time to give them carrots.
“It’s a rule not to let those who are trying to take my life live, but if you tell the truth, I might let you live.”
“You say you’ll save me?”
Melena opened her rabbit eyes.
“okay. Inside information is pretty valuable. If you hand over useful information, I will suspend the disposition.”
“…”
A moment of silence.
What followed was a voice that seemed to have given up on everything.
“…okay. But I don’t know the details either.”
As Jinhyeok tried to snap his fingers again, Melena hurriedly added.
“No really. It’s real! In the first place, we operate as a point organization, and Nana and Liqiao are an assassination team, so no additional information is given except for the immediate mission.”
[The ‘Eye of Gluttony’ sees through the target’s words.]
[Melena’s words are ‘truth’.]
Apparently, it’s not a lie.
“Who is giving the assignment?”
“I don’t know his real name. But we called him ‘Lancelot’.”
The legend of King Arthur that everyone has heard at least once.
And one of the knights in the Round Table is Lancelot.
As expected, the name popped up.
Even the code name was attached. It must mean that the second job change has been completed.
“continue.”
“The officers did. If we can collect all the relics in the tower… Even if humanity perishes, we won’t die. And you will receive a huge reward for it.”
“A holy thing?”
Jinhyeok’s eyes narrowed at Melena’s words.
Quite significant words came out.
“I don’t really know any more than that. That’s all I know.”
[‘Eye of gluttony’ sees through the words of the target.]
[Melena’s words are ‘truth’.]
Is this the limit of what you can find out unless you’re an executive?
“okay. I will trust you.”
Jinhyuk nodded.
The information that could be obtained was only fragmentary, but the harvest was higher than expected.
Knights of the Round Table and the 12 Cursed Relics. And even the reward when you collect them all.
Clues and clues put together.
I know what they’re after.
A laugh escaped Jinhyuk’s mouth.
‘The liver must have come out of the boat.’
They’re crazier than you think.
I even guessed that the Demons would challenge the Hidden Quest… but I
never thought it would have something to do with calling the ‘Demon King’.
This thing turns out to be very fun.
Maybe we can write a new version including these variables.
