Prince Alabar has hit the mark.
Sang-woo was stumped at his question.
‘How did know?’
However, Sang-woo did not show off and answered calmly.
“no.”
Sangwoo shrugs.
However, contrary to such a calm attitude, Sang-woo’s head was spinning.
‘what. The Dushara assault party probably hasn’t re-entered yet. But how did you find out?’
Clearly, Alabahr’s raiding party must have been unaware of the situation in Odin’s Tower.
Because of this, it was normal for him not to know that he had moved to the second floor with his alter egos.
‘Did I make a mistake?’
Sang-woo looked back at where he had made a mistake.
When I was digging underground because I got inspired while catching a frost giant.
Due to the skills his clones developed, a huge earthquake occurred throughout the extreme zone on the first floor of Odin’s Tower.
Thanks to this, the Dushara raid team was in danger of falling due to a crack in the ground caused by the earthquake, and fortunately, Sang-woo safely moved them to the outside of Odin’s Tower.
‘I’ll never know?’
Sang-woo thought he hadn’t made a mistake.
It was impossible for Prince Alabar to assume that Sang-woo was on the second floor of Odin’s Tower.
Then how did the prince know that Sang-woo was on the second floor of Odin’s tower?
In fact, this current situation stemmed from a simple misunderstanding.
He frowned slightly at Sang-woo’s negative reply.
‘No? Are you cheating? The Mantis Shrimp must have come from the second floor of Odin’s Tower.’
Mantis Shrimp became a hot topic.
Since it was news related to Sang-woo, this news naturally spread all over the world, and Prince Alaba was also contacted.
The prince did not care much when he first heard this news.
But one passage caught his attention.
‘…no one knows the Mantis Shrimp’s habitat.’
Excluding some bans such as Africa in the current Earth, most areas and dungeon portals were all raided and analyzed by hunters.
But is there a monster they don’t know about?
‘Certainly it could be. But it doesn’t make sense that other hunters couldn’t find it in such an issue.’
In other words, it meant that the Mantis Shrimp was in a place that normal other hunters couldn’t access.
After reasoning to that point, there was a place that flashed through Prince Alabahr’s mind.
Odin’s Tower.
‘okay. Odin’s Tower…the upper floors make sense.’
So far, only one jumper has been able to properly attack and escape.
And since he kept silent, no one has any proper information about the inside of the place.
Because of this, only the extreme zone on the 1st floor, which the Dushara attack team was attacking, had been released.
But what about the top tier?
Then, the habitat of the Mantis Shrimp, whose location is currently unknown, was also explained.
“Hmm….”
Prince Alabaar looked at Sang-woo with a slightly subtle expression.
There was a moment of awkward silence as he stared at Sang-woo.
‘He’s cheating.’
Prince Alabare was confident.
However, it was not that the person concerned wanted to share information.
‘Should there be a price after all?’
What should I give Sang-woo to share the clue to the second floor?
Ever since he appeared here, Prince Alabahr had something in mind.
he opened his mouth
“Looks like you don’t want to talk. what good You don’t want to reveal information that only you know.”
“…well, that’s right.”
Prince Alabar spoke while thinking of the Mantis Shrimp’s habitat.
Sang-woo replied, conscious that he was asking how to get to the second floor of Odin’s Tower.
The conversation between the two running in strange parallels.
“So, I will pay a fair price. Please tell me how to get to the second floor of Odin’s Tower.”
“Hmm… I really don’t know.”
Sang-woo answered calmly.
But on the inside, I was sweating profusely.
‘How did this gentleman find out?’
And to Sang-woo’s negative reaction, Prince Alabar quickly added his words.
“I will yield all exclusive rights to Mantis Shrimp to Hunter Jeong Sang-woo. We are just curious about how to attack the upper levels of Odin’s Tower.”
“…yes?”
Sang-woo listened to Prince Alabare’s words.
He then realized that something was amiss.
‘what. Mantis Shrimp? Could it be that Mantis Shrimp misunderstood that he was on the second floor of Odin’s Tower?’
After hearing that, I realized why Prince Alabar had mentioned the second floor of Odin’s Tower.
That he had guessed that the Mantis Shrimp, which Sang-woo was monopolizing, was on the second floor of Odin’s Tower.
‘Now Adari is right. This…’
Once he understood the situation, Sang-woo’s complexion became much more comfortable.
It’s because Prince Alabar didn’t mention the second floor of Odin’s Tower because he had specific evidence or information.
That’s why I was able to answer Prince Alabare’s words more calmly.
“Ah~ I think you’ve misunderstood something.”
“A misunderstanding?”
“yes. You probably guessed that the Mantis Shrimp I saved was on the second floor of Odin’s Tower, right?”
“…yes. It is.”
“ha ha ha. I also wondered why you were talking about the second floor of Odin’s Tower. ha ha ha.”
“…Are you sure it’s not the second floor of Odin’s Tower?”
Prince Alabare’s question.
Sang-woo didn’t lie and became hot.
Because he understood the situation.
‘Come to think of it, it’s ambiguous to say that you saved Mantis Shrimp from the planet Tibern. Um… that’s a little tricky. ah!’
There was a place that suddenly came to mind, so Sang-woo answered Prince Alabahr’s words.
“Yes, it is. It was Africa who saved Mantis Shrimp.”
At those words, Prince Alabaar looked suspiciously at him.
“Hmm… There are many unidentified monsters in Africa, but I heard that there are no crab-type monsters like the Mantis Shrimp.”
His objection was true.
“Hey, here’s the evidence. I caught it in Africa.”
Sang-woo spoke confidently.
The source of his confidence is
‘How can I know how many monsters there are in Africa?’
It was for the same reason.
“Hmm….”
But Prince Alabaar couldn’t erase his suspicious eyes.
Sang-woo added.
“If you’re curious, I’ll show you where it is in Africa.”
Sang-woo was confident.
If that doesn’t work out, we can release a few Mantis shrimp in Africa.
And with his confident attitude, Prince Alabar also lost confidence in his guess.
‘You mean it’s not really Odin’s tower, it’s from Africa? From what I’ve heard, there’s no record of leaving for a Middle Eastern country.’
In order to head to Africa, they had to pass through the nearest Middle Eastern countries such as Israel and Iraq.
However, Sang-woo had no history of leaving the country yet.
Because of such information, Prince Alaba was also able to exclude Africa, which was one of the likely candidates.
‘But it’s ambiguous to ask that there was no departure history.’
Since that meant tracking Sang-woo’s location, it was very rude to mention it openly to him, who had a pretty close relationship with Odin’s access service contract.
Prince Allabar had no choice but to admit that it was ambiguous to pursue Sang-woo any longer.
“haha. no. Do you even need to check the location? That’s what the party said. I guess my guess was wrong. I’m sorry.”
“What. And if I knew about the second floor of Odin’s Tower, I would sell the information right away. how much money is that ha ha ha.”
Sang-woo speaks shamelessly.
“haha. Do you? If that’s the case, we’d appreciate it if you put an offer to sell information to us first.”
“Nothing. We will contact you first.”
It’s so brief, but the breathtaking exploration comes and goes.
The meeting with Prince Alabare has come to an end.
After exiting the hotel, Sang-woo was able to breathe.
But in my head, I was filled with the idea of making a justification for the Mantis Shrimp.
‘I’ll have to be careful with this. Because we can’t expose the existence of planet Tibern. I should get some Mantis shrimp in Africa in advance to make some proof.’
As he planned to send his alter ego to Africa, Sang-woo stepped on the accelerator.
The engine sound of a sports car exploded like an explosion.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa –
* * *
Woouuuuuuuu- Sang-woo
left the Raven estate and flew for a while with the Marquis of Bershael.
His new model, which was flying fast, stopped in the air.
It was because the Marquis of Berschael, who was ahead, had stopped.
-Are you here?
-It’s around here. Be careful.
Responding to Sang-woo’s words, the Marquis of Berschael spread a translucent barrier around his body.
[Protect From Missile]
At the same time, the projectiles hit his body directly.
Shu Shu Shu Shu Shu Shu –
It was an attack launched by countless monsters on the ground and in the air.
Fortunately, as soon as the projectiles passed the semi-transparent barrier, their trajectories were disturbed and passed by without hitting the body of the Marquis properly.
After that, the projectiles tangled here and there and exploded.
Kwagwagwagwang-
Chii-Ik-
Seeing that scene, Sang-woo’s eyes lit up.
‘Is that magic cool? It’s a bit like windy magic.’
He admired the magic of the Marquis of Berschael.
The magic that the Marquis had spread seemed like a superior weapon to the Wind Wall, scattering projectiles with the power of the wind.
because.
Unlike the Wind Wall, which blocks only one direction, the spherical Protect From Missile magic blocks all directions.
‘Of course, I can overlap Wind Walls in all directions, too.’
Still, it was unavoidable that there was a difference in skill casting time and mana consumption.
‘Still, I’m coveted.’
In fact, Sang-woo also learned many magic skills through Aria.
However, he hadn’t learned magic like the Protect From Missile, and it was the first time he had seen it.
And that fact stimulated Sang-woo’s greed.
‘Next time I have a chance, I’ll try to find out more about the magic here. Or should I improve the wind wall?’
while thinking so.
Projectiles were continuously fired at the two men.
Sang-woo uses telekinesis and windwork skills to quickly move the new model in the air to avoid projectiles.
The Marquis of Berschael also started following Sang-woo with fly magic.
Then the projectiles that passed them exploded or attacked other monsters.
Kwagwagwagwagwang-!
Seeing that, Sang-woo asked the Marquis of Berschael.
-Doesn’t this mean we have to wipe out the monsters first?
-exactly! I will use magic, so cover me!
-great. Then stop.
At those words, the two models stopped in mid-air.
Sang-woo stopped below the Marquis of Berschael and opened a sub-space.
[Sub-space]
5 alter egos protruding through it.
Together with those alter egos, Sang-woo blocked the front, left, right, top and bottom of the Marquis of Berschael.
‘Protect me.’
Then, each of the clones swung their swords.
Their black Stormbringer replica.
The sword of the wind amplified by the Stormbringer, which handles the power of the wind, became huge and built a wind barrier on one side.
It was a fortified wind wall.
And the projectiles and a group of monsters hit the wind wall directly.
Kwahwa and Overlight-
Shaa Ah Ah-
Self-
Projectors that lose their driving force by the power of the wind.
The flying monsters in the form of bizarre bats, which seemed to have the ability to self-destruct, were also blown away by the wind.
That’s how Sang-woo earned time.
Marquis Bershael’s magic was completed.
