Episode 98. Gray temple (2)
Sword scars across the face in a sharp impression.
Players with Japanese swords wrapped around their waists and colorful tattoos all over their bodies caught my eye.
what is this
You don’t have to check it out.
Because it was so obvious where these guys came from.
‘Samurai Guild…’
Jinhyeok’s eyebrows wrinkled unpleasantly.
It was because I expected why they came here and why Kim Ki-tae was angry.
Just then, a voice rose between the two groups.
“This is a dungeon we own. You’re sure you haven’t forgotten?”
“I know that, but as Team Leader Kim knows, aren’t we always failing at Father to Fight? Wouldn’t it be a way to contribute to humanity to hand it over to those who can capture it rather than harboring an overflowing labyrinth?”
A man with a beard and sunglasses sighed.
The words are polite, but the contents are no different from completely feeding water.
Pudeuk!
Kim Ki-tae bit his molar.
However, there was no other response.
In fact, they have been failing continuously, and in contrast, the samurai guild has been showing remarkable growth lately.
however.
“Hmm. It’s strange.”
Jinhyuk scratched his head and interrupted.
Everyone’s eyes turned to Jinhyuk.
“Um… the man?”
“This is Kang Jin-hyuk. I’m Korean ranker Kang Jin-hyeok!”
“Could it be related to the Father to Fight?”
“This is not good…”
The voices of the samurai players could also be heard taking in a small breath.
As the atmosphere became cluttered, the sunglasses quickly came out.
“This is another unexpected person. But what do you mean is strange?”
“Didn’t you hear that this side failed continuously because there was not enough power?”
“I said so. Of course you feel bad, but that’s the reality.”
“That is what is strange. When I look at it, their power looks terrible.”
It seems like I’ve been scratching things up in my own way.
To deal with Medusa with just that many members?
Taken together, she’s overconfident, to the point where she’s not even half as good as Chun Yu-seong or Teresa.
“ah! If your future hope is to become a pretty stone statue, I understand. What about Medusa in there? It’s just like a statue collector.”
Jinhyuk smiled brightly.
“Now. we lack skills Do you mean this?”
“It’s not that I’m lacking, it’s that I’m completely underachieved.”
It’s a nuance that it’s a little regretful that it’s lacking.
You mean you can’t even collect one truck.
“Incomplete?!”
“Damn it!”
At Jinhyeok’s words, the faces of the players who belonged to the samurai guild were distorted.
“Big.”
“also!”
On the other hand, the Brawl Abi Guild felt a sense of pleasure as if the 10-year-old congestion had gone down.
“You will regret that remark. No matter how low you are, no matter how hard you try. In Japan, there is a player who has climbed the Tower of Trials to the 30th floor. Unlike the likes of you, he’s a ‘real’ deceased person.”
The tone of the sunglasses turned cold.
“Any players who have been to the 30th floor?”
“okay. The middle level of the tower that no one has ever been to before. who has experienced it Based on his knowledge and experience, we will be the first in the world to conquer the tower. We, Japan, and no one else.”
He straightened his shoulders as if he was proud of his sunglasses.
Monopoly of information about the future!
Of course, the feeling of elation is rising and it is hard to hide the excitement.
but.
Jinhyuk clicked his tongue as if he was dumbfounded.
‘The bullshit is enough.’
I haven’t seen the player’s shadow since the 20th floor.
Suddenly, a deceased person who climbed the 30th floor popped out?
Also in Japan?
It can’t be.
‘Still, seeing that he’s so confident, at least he seems to believe that…’
That would mean that someone with sunglasses is playing cute pranks.
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth went up.
‘For you to lie like that in front of me.’
I don’t know how the samurai guild was roasted, but
‘I picked the wrong opponent.’
Even if I chose, I chose too wrongly.
Jinhyeok scanned the players with his ‘eyes of gluttony’.
Several status windows flashed sequentially.
‘It’s not this guy. This guy is an idiot…’
I can’t see anyone who stands out.
Just when you think so.
Jinhyuk’s gaze stopped at one side.

———————— ——————————
As expected, this was it.
Now I see how the other person was able to tell a plausible lie.
‘It’s a half future poetry…’
Depending on the level of skill, you can get a glimpse of the upper class.
Although the word ‘half’ has been added, future poetry is an ability that is useful in its own way among the unique abilities.
No matter how fragmentary or useless information.
In any case, being able to foresee the future that others don’t know about was definitely attractive.
but.
All of that is just the story of those who haven’t experienced the top of the tower.
Seeing the sidelines you don’t even want.
In fact, seeing and experiencing that layer is impossible to compare in the first place.
‘This work is fun.’
Jinhyeok looked directly at Takeshi.
with a strange smile.
＊＊＊
Japanese hope.
A new hidden card recruited by the Samurai Guild.
One of the world’s top 100 rankers.
All of these were titles that Takeshi would gain in the future.
Because the ability to see the future was the most important ability to climb the Tower of Trials.
‘Anyway, no one knows that my abilities are imperfect.’
If he threw plausible information and pretended to be a deceased person who had been to the top of the tower, he would be able to get the attention of the upper guild.
Takeshi was convinced.
And, in fact, that confidence paid off.
I came from the best guild in Japan, the Samurai Guild.
Takeshi did not tremble.
Rather, he proudly said that he had been to the 30th floor of the tower. At the same time, he told a story about the tower that no one knew yet.
Of course, some cases were wrong, but Takeshi was able to gain the trust of the samurai guild by guessing the big information hidden in the tower.
‘Even if the lie is exposed, it will be a long time ago.’
And what if you get caught?
Just make a lie into reality.
If the guild provided support, it wasn’t that difficult to become stronger. Of course, even half of the ability will grow, and eventually you will become a ranker who can see the real future.
‘okay. Is there anything wrong with the ranker? Those guys must have been weak at first too.’
The samurai guild is giving full support, what is there to be afraid of?
item. Experience. Ranker.
Would you listen to me if I told you anything?
but. The path of winning and winning has stopped right now.
By meeting a person named Kang Jin-hyeok.
‘…what?’
Takeshi swallowed dry saliva.
There were dozens of players around him besides himself.
However, Jinhyeok was not paying attention to anything else.
Plus, those subtly twisted corners of the mouth.
It’s a smile that says you know everything.
Dangerous.
Although Takeshi had been perfectly camouflaged until now, an unknown anxiety gripped his entire body at this moment.
But just then.
“Hoo. A deceased person who climbed the 30th floor? It’s amazing. Even in various media and communities, little information about the tower’s 10th floor or higher has been released.”
Jinhyuk opened his mouth.
“I know you well. Do you think you can understand the situation now?”
The sunglasses made him look even more upset.
“yes. Now it kind of makes sense. If there is such a deceased person, I think it is right to promote it on a global level.”
“Puhaha! okay. There must have been someone among the Koreans who could communicate.”
“It was nothing. Then go first. We will follow.”
Jinhyuk took a step back.
“This thing works too easily.”
“I heard you’re a much-talked-about ranker. See, you can’t even make a sound in front of a real deceased person.”
“After all, Korea is just a shadow of Japan 10 years ago.”
Thirty Japanese players took the lead.
just one person.
“…”
As for Takeshi, he couldn’t take his steps as if he was getting caught in something.
But it was only for a moment.
Soon after, all the players from the samurai guild entered the labyrinth.
Then, it was the Brawl Abbey Guild that was taken aback.
“Are you player Kang Jin-hyuk?”
“Are you saying you want to go with them?”
Kim Ki-tae and Lee Young-kwon shouted at the same time.
“Of course we should go together.”
Jinhyuk nodded.
Then, he posed an important question.
“If we hadn’t yielded, wouldn’t Ki-tae Kim have prevented those people from entering the labyrinth?”
“Of course. We would have stopped it anyway.”
“Then those people will continue to breathe and live. Then you can’t.”
“yes?”
“Can’t you stand…?”
This time, an earthquake occurred in the pupils of the two.
He realized what Jinhyeok meant.
“As I said. You can never come out alive with that level of skill.”
How could a fool who believes in a fake future poem deal with Medusa?
You wouldn’t have mastered the strategy properly anyway, would you?
A guy named Takeshi only believed in the samurai guild’s might.
Conversely, the samurai are dependent on Takeshi’s half-power.
They say that each other will hold on to the rotten rope and run to hell.
It’s enough for us to go one step behind and say the sutra.
Because the idiots who have advanced in pride will deal with all sorts of traps and monsters.
“At first, I was thinking of sending Tyler with nice words (?).”
I didn’t want to force it into a limb.
No matter how much I didn’t like it, that alone wasn’t a reason why people should die.
but.
“If you put a spoon on someone else’s rice bowl without knowing the subject… it must mean you’re willing to pay for it.”
cold speech.
The smirking and obedient look had long since disappeared.
＊＊＊
Fighting fathers and samurai.
A raid consisting of a total of 62 people entered the labyrinth.
[You have entered the Labyrinth ‘Grey Temple (Medusa’s Lair)’.]
With a short warning, the darkened vision brightened.
Jinhyuk looked around.
Flames gushing through the cracks. Various buildings and columns reminiscent of the Greek era were lined up.
Of course, the most notable thing is the stone statues of people turned to stone.
“They’re the players who… challenged first.”
“shit. It’s terribly miserable. Is there any way to get this back?”
“doesn’t exist. If we make eye contact, just think of it as the end.”
‘Petrifaction’, which has an absolute judgment, cannot be undone in any way once it is activated.
Numerous players did not become decorations of this labyrinth for nothing.
“Don’t worry. Because I already have a plan in place.”
He raised the shield that Sunglasses was holding.
A key item for clearing this labyrinth.
The Holy Relic ‘The Shield of Perseus’.
Yes.
The reason why he stood out so confidently in the samurai was because he had the confidence to recreate the mythical battle besides the deceased Takeshi.
However, Jinhyeok, who was watching it, swallowed the burst of laughter.
‘Did you just come in believing that?’
After all, there are people who mistakenly think that if you get an object that a celebrity used, you can become that person.
If you get a program that Bill Gates used, you start Microsoft, and
if you look at an apple with a bite, will the iPhone pop out?
‘No matter how good a holy relic is, it’s useless if the person who handles it is lousy.’
Of course, at an intermediate level, the term ‘temporary’ worked.
At least in the ruins and labyrinths with high difficulty in the Tower of Trials, such words were not used. This means that the item is only an aid, but not a fundamental solution.
‘You guys should work hard from the front. I’ll slowly attack from behind.’
Jinhyeok started to think of the overall board.
But just then
Whoa!
Suddenly, the subspace inventory vibrated violently.
‘This?’
Jinhyeok quickly looked inside.
The black scroll I received from the priest a while ago was reacting to something.
at the same time.
[The conditions have been satisfied.]
[The second perk for ‘the first to conquer the tower’ has arrived.] A
golden status window appeared in front of me.
