Episode 155. Prospect of the 7th guild (2)
“It’s fortunate that there is someone with a rational mindset.”
Yoshio slowly opened his mouth.
but.
“huh?”
Jinhyuk tilted his head as if he meant something.
“It means thank you for stopping her. If it had been more than that, we wouldn’t have been able to stand still.”
ah!
did you mean that
“It looks like you misunderstood something…”
Jinhyuk smiled brightly.
and.
[Lv10 ‘Glacial Formation’ is activated!]
Parts…
An ice hammer appeared in my hand before I knew it.
Jinhyeok firmly gripped the ice hammer and put it down vertically.
Kwadeuk!
The sound of bones snapping could be heard from Tsutomu’s back.
“Gagging!”
Painful screams erupted, but Jinhyeok did not stop.
It was a hammering to the point where I thought it was cruel in a way, not putting a single circumstance in my hands.
“Don’t move. Does the bone fit?”
Quaang!
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Hey. So don’t move.”
Fuck!
“Gagging!”
“ah. sorry. this is my mistake. It must be painful.”
Pooh!
“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Tsutomu, whose entire body turned purple, wriggled his gigantic body.
Jinhyeok’s tanning was finished only after it became completely close to rice cake.
Whoa.
Since the surface area is large, it is definitely not easy to hit evenly.
“…You bastard.”
Yoshio’s voice sank.
The space at the waist shimmered and the handle of the Japanese sword appeared.
However, Jinhyeok did not blink an eye at Yoshio’s indirect threat.
“What I said was dry. It’s not to save your men.”
It wasn’t sympathy that came from the fact that Alice’s hands were too harsh for a single mistake.
It wasn’t even that I was afraid of the Samurai Guild or Yoshio.
only.
“Anyone who carelessly talks to me should be beaten by me.”
It kills the pleasure of letting someone else take care of a guy who deserves to be beaten.
Also to return the favor.
Even revenge.
Because it’s all right to do it yourself.
People who heard why Jinhyeok dried up showed different reactions.
-right. this guy was originally a demon.
Alice was immediately convinced.
On the other hand.
Yoshio’s face hardened even more.
“We are also in an alliance with the Chinese Guild. Does that mean you’re going to come out like this?”
China’s greatest guild led by Namgungcheon.
They had so many players, and the skills of the top rankers were beyond imagination.
Especially since I heard that the recent increase was irrational.
Of course, the Samurai Guild, which is considered the best in the world when it comes to swords, was also a huge force that could not be ignored.
But then he exposes his teeth to those two giant forces?
It has nothing to do with wanting to die.
“The Chinese Guild and the Samurai Guild have formed an alliance…”
“That’s right. Do you think you’ve made a mistake now?”
“well. I don’t think I made a mistake…”
Jinhyeok took off his mask slowly.
The white mask disappeared, revealing his bare face.
“Kang…Jinhyuk!”
Yoshio took a deep breath.
Sudden trembling pupils.
I met the player I most didn’t want to meet.
‘I heard that you only match with Yoo Yeon-hwa, Lee Tae-min, Teresa, and that swordsman…’
There was no information about the white-haired girl.
That’s why Yoshio couldn’t predict that his opponent would be Jinhyeok.
‘Damn it
.
I need to get out of here
Fighting against a guy like that was unplanned.
At least… until we get inside the ballroom.
At that time, there was an opportunity to pay for this humiliation.
Because I had prepared everything for this job in the first place.
‘Let’s see if I can laugh a little later.’
humiliation in front of reporters. I’ll definitely give it back 1000 times.
Yoshio took a step back, biting his molars.
“All three worlds…”
“This is Kang Jin-hyuk. Kang Jin-hyeok from Korea!”
“As expected, that person also received an invitation.”
“Did you see that? Did Yoshio just leave without saying a word?”
“No matter how large a guild is, it won’t work for Kang Jin-hyeok. You can tell just by looking at the videos uploaded so far. It’s a complete monster.”
“Well, what kind of crazy guy would pick a 1:1 fight?”
“That’s right… I won’t fight unless I’m really crazy.”
The overwhelming majesty shown by the white-haired girl.
The appearance of Jinhyeok.
Let the two events intertwine. Cheers broke out among the reporters.
Because the scene was so overwhelming, the aftermath was huge beyond imagination.
chump chump chump!
Again, the camera shutter blinked dazzlingly.
Now that we’ve got a real-time search term and a material to decorate the headlines for a while, of course our hands are bound to be busy.
Jinhyeok spoke last before entering the ballroom.
“It doesn’t matter where you hold hands. I’m not interested in you guys hanging out as alley captains.”
Be honest. It would have been better if they only played among themselves in their own territory.
“But don’t get in the way of my work.”
The eyes that looked down on people a little while ago.
The heart that laughed at weak people like you and said that they were on a completely different level.
I understand.
Because I felt the same way when I saw you.
“Anyway, you guys will fail to climb the tower if you try hard for a hundred days.”
What I have to say is that this is the end.
Jinhyeok entered the ballroom, leaving behind Yoshio, who was stained with anger, and Tsutomu, who passed out.
***
[You have entered the event area.]
With the dazzling light, the visible things have completely changed.
‘Hoo.’
Jinhyuk let out a small exclamation.
A huge interior reminiscent of a palace.
The chandeliers and fancy decorations seen in movies were more than I thought.
“Not bad. Even though it’s only on the first floor, you’ve got an assortment of things you can afford. It is not enough for this noble body to stay for a while.”
Elise, too, opened her rabbit eyes, apparently quite surprised.
Mmm.
It seems that someone has been stuck on the first floor for quite some time.
That is also in the corridor at the farthest corner of the first floor.
“Why are you looking at me with such an eerie look? Surely it’s not like, ‘I lived in a small room that didn’t get a bit of sunlight, so why are you holding a fair at another house?’ Are those eyes exactly like that?”
“As expected…”
“What is that exclamation of admiration?”
“No, because Jinjo is different. Even though I was using my own ‘mental barrier’, I didn’t know that I would be able to see through my inner thoughts. It seems that his mind-reading skill level is high, as he has lived for thousands of years.”
“What!”
Alice’s voice rose about two octaves.
Again, a long speech about the Ataraxia family and his own greatness continued, but Jinhyeok’s attention was already focused elsewhere.
‘It looks like I prepared and sharpened my teeth properly.’
It was quite large in the past, but now the level is completely different.
of course.
What caught my eye more than the decorations inside were the players wearing various masks.
Several men and women had already gathered inside the banquet hall.
At first glance, they are talented people who seem unusual.
It’s only natural that they brought in the most promising people in the world.
‘Let’s see…’
As I focused my mind, the mana scattered all over the place was caught one by one.
One, two, three, four
.
It’s a total jackpot.
Among them, the most notable was a man wearing a black suit with short blond hair, as well as a woman with long blonde hair in a black dress.
They cover their faces with a butterfly-shaped mask, but in fact, those twins are very famous rankers.
Casey and Jude Law.
Perverts who are more famous for being pleasure combatants.
The fighting style that pursues only peripheral stimulation was considered a target to be avoided even in Europe.
…Even so-called slasher movie directors vomited after watching the video uploaded by the two, so how could ordinary people be shocked?
still.
The two’s main specialty, ‘sharing’ ability, was quite coveted.
‘I’ll have to get my hands on those two’s abilities during the main event of the ball.’
It was difficult to approach right now, but in the main event that will be held shortly there will be a chance to contact the players.
The main event of the Masquerade.
Yes.
The reason players gathered here in the first place was not to wear masks and dance.
In order to catch the eyes of the forces in charge of the lower and middle levels of the tower.
To add a little more, to choose which faction to choose when climbing the tower in the future.
will be gathered here
And Jinhyeok.
Of all the options, I knew the best answer.
***
“So… are you saying he ignored our names when he gave us names?”
“yes. Even when I said we were allies, they sneered at me. I gave a warning, but it was to no avail.”
“Hmm….”
The second person in the Chinese Guild.
Liaoyu let out a deep moan.
Until just now, the fact that I attended this ball made me feel like I was walking on clouds.
That sense of floating was shattered by Yoshio’s one word.
There is only one reason.
Kang Jin-hyeok.
it’s him again
Cold water was splashed on the atmosphere that had been heated by that hound-like creature that bit down endlessly.
‘I can’t believe this happened when Namgungcheon was away.’
Two players received an invitation from the Chinese Guild.
It was Namgungcheon and Liaoyu.
However, Namgungcheon was away for a while to receive a new sword from the Namgung family in Jungwon.
‘For the sake of China’s honor, we must be held accountable for this incident.’
I had already been hit once in the 5th floor elven forest, but I couldn’t go through the humiliation twice in a row.
It was like putting shit on the reputation of the entire guild.
But…
‘It’s difficult with our own strength.’
A conclusion that can be drawn because reason precedes anger.
Liao Yu calmly evaluated the difference between their opponent and their skills.
If he goes out emotionally like this, he will have to taste the bitter taste of defeat again.
If so, what do you mean?
It was at a time when I was deeply troubled.
“You seem to be concerned about something.”
someone has spoken
A small body of 1 m.
Although he was a dwarf with a delicate body, no one could ignore him.
That’s right.
Lee is the one who invited them here.
Because he was one of the lower level managers of the Tower.
“Ka…man?”
“Tell me. Who dared to touch those belonging to my faction?”
Kaman, who is closely related to the Moorim forces, has been working hard to incorporate promising players and various guilds into the Moorim.
As a result, he was able to succeed in acquiring the bold cards of Chinese and Samurai.
In fact, I was able to attend this place in recognition of my contribution, so as a low-level manager, it should be considered quite successful.
“It’s okay.”
“It’s no big deal. As long as Kaman-nim doesn’t need to step in…”
Liaoyu and Yoshio opened their mouths at the same time.
No matter how high a ranker is, a low level manager is a different existence.
Because of this, it was difficult for the two of them to even talk to him.
Kaman looked around.
Then, Jinhyeok wearing a white mask caught my eye.
is it.
That’s what bothered him so much.
“Which faction does he belong to?”
“It didn’t seem like there were any forces yet. Because of his nature, he only likes to go out with a small number of people.”
that it is
The name Moorim alone means that it can be stamped and suppressed.
“Don’t worry. You’re a cheeky human kid, I’ll give you a solid education.”
A mischievous smile crept across Kaman’s lips.
