Episode 91 Pathway of Selection (2)
“You inject what’s left, too. What we drank was gaseous poison, so we would die without an antidote.”
Jinhyeok handed Andri a syringe with half of the liquid remaining.
“yes? yes. yes.”
Andrea received the syringe with rabbit eyes up.
Then he carefully injected it into his arm.
‘This can’t be…’
Really.
Until a moment ago, the blood vessels started to tickle little by little, but the moment the medicine was injected, everything disappeared as if it had been washed.
Andrea stared at Jinhyeok.
‘…what the hell is he doing?’
At first, it was just a scary existence.
It was because he killed the representatives of God with his overwhelming power and wiped out even the believers.
However, as we talked, the fear gradually disappeared. Now, rather, curiosity is piqued.
That kind of curiosity that wants to know a little more about the opponent.
furthermore.
‘It’s not just about being strong.’
Andrea had also heard rumors about the passage of choice.
None of those who entered this place came out alive.
They just die while wandering about countless choices.
However, this man broke through the barriers in an instant, as if he were laughing at all of that.
So fast that I don’t even know how I got here.
Unmatched strength and unwavering composure under any circumstances. Finally, the ability to create results through the information you know.
It was hard to believe even after seeing everything.
Andrea’s pupils trembled slightly.
‘If this person…’
Maybe he could really kill the religious leader and put an end to his hellish life.
“What are you doing? Should I go?”
“yes? yes!”
Andrea quickly nodded.
Cuckoo!
Immediately, the third gateway opened.
This room was quite simple, unlike the previous ones.
A chair in the center and a black lever installed in front of it. Finally, I saw a pipe extending towards the lever.
[Whoa. The third gateway is…]
The smell of feet was heavy.
There was no strength in his voice, probably because his motivation had dropped considerably.
“cheer up.”
[What?]
“You’re the best on the 5th floor… No, you’re the manager. Don’t be depressed, cheer up and explain. This time, I’ll listen to the hints before choosing.”
Even the monsters in the tower were worried.
Isn’t this the direction that the deceased should pursue?
Jinhyeok nodded his head as if he was proud of himself.
Of course, for the smell of feet, which had to be seen, it felt like all of the billions were collapsing.
[good night. The third gateway is ‘self-sacrifice’. As you can see, the door to the next gateway is opened only when one person sitting in the chair pulls the lever.]
“You just have to sit down and pull the lever, right?”
Andrea was delighted with the condition, which was simpler than expected.
[Before you rush to like it, keep one thing in mind. The moment you pull the lever, flames will shoot out of the pipe right in front of you. The hand pulling the lever is supposed to burn slowly.]
Due to the nature of the restraints on the chair, there is no way to avoid the flames.
A door that opens only when you burn yourself.
It was a gateway that fit the theme of ‘self-sacrifice’.
“I can’t…”
Andrea stammered. It was because I instinctively realized that I couldn’t get out of it as easily as this time.
Right then.
match! match! match!
“Yeah. self sacrifice! that’s a nice word So what’s the hint?”
Jinhyeok clapped his hands and trembled.
[The hint… is that you don’t necessarily have to sacrifice yourself. You must have noticed what I mean?]
“So. If you don’t want to get hurt, you can force someone else to sit there and pull the lever, right?”
[That’s it.]
It was said to be self-sacrifice on the outside, but if you can force someone else to sit down, you can escape without a single wound.
startled
Andrea’s body trembled slightly.
If one of the two had to sacrifice, it was too obvious who it would be.
However, Jinhyeok sat down on the chair again without hesitation.
I put my restraints on and put my hand on the lever.
[What? Were you willing to sacrifice yourself? I haven’t seen it like that, but it’s surprising.]
Huh?
“What sacrifice suddenly?”
I’m sorry, but there are still about 3 minutes left for the magic book to activate.
In other words.
It means that you can use ‘skill’.
[Lv8 ‘Glacial Formation’ is activated!]
The cold air from Jinhyeok’s fingertips froze the entire pipe.
Chunk!
Let’s pull the lever right away.
Cuckoo coo!
The door began to open with a violent vibration. Of course, the fire that should have consumed his hands did not come out.
[…]
The smell of feet, lost for words, hardened beyond the screen.
If someone who doesn’t know this saw it, they might mistake it for a still image.
“I’m sorry.”
Andrea nodded at the smell of feet. And with gunfire, I moved toward the next gateway.
Jinhyeok also clicked his tongue with a sad expression.
That’s why you should have dealt with it while covering the opponent.
‘If I had to meet him, would he meet me?’
But don’t be too frustrated or self-absorbed.
Just as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, this outcome was predestined.
＊＊＊
There are a total of seven traps in the passage of choice.
However, the fourth and fifth gateways were also broken through.
That’s so stupid.
“Isn’t there anything new other than this? My heart is pounding and my back is sweaty. Would you like something like that?”
Jinhyeok did not hide his bored expression.
It’s good to clear quickly, but what can I say?
Should I say I want to enjoy a little more stimulation?
The DNA of the deceased person, who was stuck in the middle of the day, has been asking for Hell difficulty.
‘This is a bad habit that needs to be corrected, but…’
What should I do?
That’s what the instinct that has been cultivated for 11 years is like that.
[You mean something more novel than now? That’s…]
“Why. no way? It’s strange. The passageway designed by the boss on the 5th floor couldn’t be this easy.”
Jinhyuk tilted his head.
Then, as if he remembered something, he clapped his hands.
“ah! Could it be that up until now, only the easier ones were placed in the front on purpose to catch us off guard?”
[That’s right. The sixth gate is the masterpiece of Balseter’s conversion.]
The smell of feet exclaimed urgently.
And three seconds later, even the sixth gate was pierced. With the shortest record so far.
“….”
“..”
[….]
An awkward silence lingered.
But it was only for a short while.
[Fuck. I don’t do it.]
The smell of feet turned off the screen along with swear words.
This is so…
Jinhyeok scratched his head as if embarrassed.
‘In the end, the manager escaped.’
Even in the entire Tower of Trials, nothing like this would happen.
So I was looking forward to it.
‘I wonder how many views this video will get if it goes up.’
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth went up.
I don’t know, but for the time being, it seemed that the owner of the top of the ‘Hall of Fame’ had been decided.
Right then.
The virtual barriers that built the ‘choice passage’ began to crumble.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
Finally, the game is about to begin.
＊＊＊
[You have entered the leader’s lair.]
The scenery has completely changed.
A stone chamber full of grotesque statues and symbols stained with blood.
In the center, I could see the leader doing something with the corpse.
“Yeah. I thought I became a religious leader to preach. Were you practicing anatomy?”
Did you know that you were a science student?
Seeing that he passed the medical school, it seems that he studied hard during his student days.
In a way, I don’t know if he’s in sync with Chun Yoo-seong.
“I can’t believe it… Balseter was broken through?”
“Don’t say too much to that friend. He seems like a more timid friend than I thought.”
Jinhyuk shrugged.
“So what he said was true. He said that you should never be vigilant, so that’s what he meant.”
The teacher gave off a very surprised expression.
That’s right.
Jin-hyeok, who was talking nonsense in prison, did not even feel worthy of being considered an enemy.
That’s why I had no doubt that I would be torn to shreds by the agents of God.
but.
That expectation was completely wrong.
“Come to think of it, I don’t see Lancelot or Hossenvelt.”
“That person left a while ago.”
He left…
It seemed like that for some reason.
“Anyway, one notice is quick.”
“Are you quick-witted? What do you mean by that?”
“I would have known I would die if I stayed here, so I noticed that and ran away first. What kind of story is this?”
“Ha ha ha! That’s funny. Excessive self-consciousness is the level of art.”
The cleric exploded his lightsaber.
Then, in an instant, the laughter disappeared.
“I don’t know what you did, but you broke the rules of the Tower and used your unique abilities and skills. To be honest, I was surprised. I never knew that there were people who could go against the absolute order of things.”
“I’m pretty good at it.”
To be precise, it’s not quite, but it’s enough to roll your eyes.
He said it was a virtue to hide 30% of one’s skills, so he thought he would only do this much to paint his face.
“I can’t wait to see how far that confidence will go. And how desperately you will scream in a moment.”
The principal reached out his hand toward the table right next to him.
A black jar was placed on the table.
“Are you trying to use a holy relic?”
“…!”
At Jinhyeok’s words, the teacher’s hand stopped.
This time, it was evident that he was genuinely perplexed.
“You mean you know about the castle…?”
“Roughly.”
I’ve collected all the holy relics and made a collection before, so I’d be lying if I said I didn’t know.
I’ll admit, though, that it’s difficult to collect them all.
Some of them were really hard to get to the point of hair loss.
“…what a surprise he is.”
A mixture of surprise and surprise.
Of course, that sentiment did not last long.
Because in the words that followed, there was a deep sense of life mixed in.
“But if you know about the Holy Relic, you will also know the power it possesses.”
The cursed holy relic used to resurrect the demon lord itself had tremendous magical power.
In particular, the ‘urn that eats filth’ in front of you is a holy relic that has a ‘blue’ grade among the seven colors.
“I think the cooldown was extremely long. Are you going to use it to catch me?”
“I don’t think I’ll ever meet someone more annoying than you. Rather than clumsily saving it, I plan to use it when I can.”
Mmm.
It’s hard to deny that.
This guy also has a surprisingly sharp side.
right at that moment.
[The holy relic ‘urn that eats filth’ is activated!]
An indescribable curse erupted from the depths of the jar.
A black wave that even burns the air.
The overflowing energy like a wave rushed toward Jinhyeok in an instant.
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah!
The ability to literally kill with absolute judgment in an instant!
Jinhyeok quickly tried to open the distance, but it wasn’t the kind that could be avoided in the first place.
like that.
Gulleong!
A wave passed through Jinhyeok’s chest.
Crying.
Black blood flowed from his mouth.
It’s a terrible pain. Enough to lose my mind in an instant.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuu! gagging.”
Because of the puncture of his lungs, his voice could not come out properly.
“no!”
Andrea let out a sharp scream.
and.
“Die on that arrogance. Human.”
The teacher also had a fishy smile.
A man with a hole in his body had no choice but to die.
End with it.
Jinhyeok’s consciousness was cut off. At the same time, the body collapsed.
[Due to the death of the caster, the ‘Curse of the Demon King’ received from the ‘Rotating Heart’ disappears.]
A message that appeared because the caster died.
and.
Intrinsic abilities triggered by the death of the caster crossed over.
[The caster has died.]
[The conditions have been met.]
[The unique ability ‘Blessing of the Stars’ is activated!]
From the night sky that can never be seen from the 5th floor beyond the blocked ceiling.
Whoa!
The light containing the energy of the stars poured out.
at the same time.
pounding! Throb! Throb!
The stopped heart started beating once again.
