Episode 204. Variables appearing (1)
Beep!
After the sword that ate strong energy penetrated the Life Force vessel, it went to the other side and got stuck.
Red excitation began to flow out of the shards of broken glass.
“Quaaaaaagh!”
With a high-pitched scream, Beyrodum struggled in pain.
Should I say that I have a special attachment to life as I have lived through eons of time?
As the time to die approached, he revealed his pitiful appearance without filtering.
“Sah, save me. I don’t want to die like this. I, I don’t want to die like this in vain!”
I beg and stretch out my hand.
Beirodum struggled under Jinhyeok’s feet.
But it was only for a short while.
As long as the medium that binds the lich’s soul was gone, it was as if the ending had already been decided.
“Uuuuuuuu…”
In the place where it disappeared as a handful of smoke, only one black robe was left behind.
[The boss monster on the 14th floor, ‘Beirodum’, will disappear!]
[Rewards will be distributed differently according to the achievement value.] [
Player who inflicted 90% damage: Kang Jin-hyeok]
[The person who dealt the last critical hit: Baek Seol-lin]
[ Your level has risen.]
[Your level has risen]
[Your level has risen]
[Your level…]
[You have acquired the special item ‘Great Mage’s Robe’]
[Amazing achievements tomorrow It will be listed in the Hall of Fame.]
And.
Beyond the countless status windows…
a woman distorted with embarrassment appeared.
It was Snow White.
“This, this isn’t it…”
Baek Seol-lin stuttered.
Ambush from the side.
He had no doubt that this attack would work because he was an opponent whose stamina and mana were all exhausted.
But I never thought I would use my comrades as a shield… no, the Life Force vessel as a shield.
As a member of a political faction, this was an act unimaginable.
However, Jin-hyeok was also embarrassed.
The fact that Baek Seol-rin came here means that she passed Cheon Yu-seong and Wol-yeong.
In other words.
‘Couldn’t it be blocked…’
The two failed.
Even if I threw them into hell, they would somehow survive, so I didn’t think they would die, but I was a little worried.
‘If possible, I wanted to achieve the copy condition next time, but I can’t.’
If this is the case, there is no choice but to fight even if it is overcrowded.
Jinhyeok took out the ‘fang’ from the subspace inventory.
however.
“…”
Baek Seol-rin, who was thinking about something, turned around without regret.
“Are you not going to fight?”
“Unfortunately, this is all gambling. Neither you nor I are in the physical condition to decide between life and death.”
Come to think of it, Baek Sullin’s body is also not normal.
Torn clothes and red blood visible between them.
There was no doubt that Baek Seol-rin also made a considerable sacrifice to break through the siege of Cheon Yoo-sung and Wol-yeong to reach this place.
Well, that’s why the other Murim people couldn’t come, so he came alone.
“Besides, I’ll be seeing you on the middle floor sooner or later. You’re a body supported by the Empire. Then, I’ll take a look at today’s work.”
Seol-Lin Baek bowed softly.
And just like that, it disappeared into the grass.
timely.
that buck
Theresa appeared from the other side with her cheeks inflated.
Judging by the expression on her face, it seemed that she, too, did not see the cool ending inside.
“Did you miss it?”
“Ah. He said nonsense about the corpse, that there was no reason to fight anymore because the lich was dead, that there was no honor in a meaningless fight, and then ran away. Even if there was, I would follow you and slit your throat.”
Quaang!
Theresa slammed a greatsword the size of her own into the ground.
…I think I should do well in the future.
I also thought that I would like to see Teresa, who was soft and kind in the past.
“Now it’s time to go. I’ll tell Sundingi well. Then, see you next time.”
Teresa whispered into Jinhyeok’s ear with a voice that seemed to tickle differently from a moment ago.
Goosebumps rose up all over his body.
But when Jinhyeok tried to say something back. It was after the dense aura had already completely disappeared.
“Ah… Ah?”
Theresa inhaled, her face flushed red.
It will return to its original personality.
Looking at her expression, it seems that she doesn’t have any memories of the blackened Teresa.
‘This must be a headache as it is.’
There’s a lot to say, and it’s going to take quite a long time to sort through this Outbreak…
but anyway, with this.
All fights were over.
＊＊＊
After Outbreak, a week passed without hesitation.
There were several big changes due to this incident, the biggest of which was the disappearance of Wolyeong, who was in charge of the Murim people along with Chun Yuseong.
The guy who had always been attached to me like a shadow had evaporated.
And that too without any fuss.
I tried to find him in all directions for a week, but there was no way to find him because he had completely lost contact with Yang Ho-myeong and the Black Wind Society.
The undead monsters that swept across Europe for the second time mostly weakened after Beyrodum’s extinction.
Several small and medium-sized forces, centered on medium-sized monsters, persisted and harassed the players.
Finally, due to this incident, the ‘Hall of Fame’ has become close to runaway.
It was natural that they had prevented a cataclysm that had caused unimaginable damage.
In addition, when it was revealed that the target was Jinhyeok, all the world’s attention was focused on Korea.
-David cROWn: What in the world is Korea that has such great rankers?
-poker J: Even if a large guild took all of the raids, they couldn’t even penetrate the Normandy coast, but they went all the way to the heart of it at once and dealt with the boss.
-Live Trend: I only saw the edited version, but it’s really ridiculous. Is it because it is a game powerhouse with many dead people? I think Korea has a lot of talented people.
-Brown May: It is true that Koreans are strong, but among them, I, Kang Jin-hyeok, is exceptional. Even the rankers of the Dangun Guild, one of the seven major guilds, couldn’t even see the center of Europe.
-Bumok squeak nn slap ㅇㅇ: Ah. This is called ‘Kimchi Power’.
– A bowl of soup with soup: soy milk no Gangnam style? Would you like a bowl of hot soup?
-Saeyoung Unhwan: Our Jinhyeok is a bit different. A child is different from birth.
– Eagle Owl: Yes. I’ve been watching since I was a kid, but I knew that BJ Jinhyeok would rise like this. Of course, it became so popular that I wouldn’t even remember it.
Jinhyeok sipped his coffee and looked down at the comments.
I see familiar nicknames too. There was also a nickname that bothered me a little.
“Still, a lot of them have been restored in a week. Are humans surprised the more you see them?”
Elise, dressed in a matching black lace dress and hat, looked around curiously.
The speed of restoration of the city center rebuilt by architecture players was beyond imagination.
Because people were already walking the streets as usual and going about their daily lives.
The lively street seemed to have healed a little from the wounds of Outbreak.
“Wow. This is the world the players live in. Really everything is big and beautiful.”
Next to him was Andrea, who worked hard to look as normal as possible.
As I watched the two of them cackle, I felt anger welling up from deep within my heart.
“I told you to train inside, but why did you come all the way here?”
“Ooh, we practiced hard too. But don’t you know that rubber bands break if they’re pulled too tight? A proper rest is one step back for two steps forward.”
“You’re right. I’ve really gotten a lot stronger!”
What is it?
After sticking together for a while, the two of them get along very well.
If this is enough, I don’t think it would be out of place even if they were real sisters, right?
“I raised the tiger cubs. Yes. Do as you like. As you like.”
While Jinhyeok clicked his tongue, their eyes were all on the various foods on the table.
German craft beer and thick-cut sausages. Plus French fries and Schweinhaxen, German pork feet.
A table that was not enough to relieve the fatigue accumulated from fierce fighting was completed.
growl!
Elise’s eyes twinkled as well, apparently from hunger.
“Can’t we eat it quickly? If we drink this meat and a glass of beer, I think the congestion will go down.”
“Wait a minute. There’s someone who’s yet to come.”
Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min returned home quickly because of work in Korea, but Teresa and Chun Yoo-seong decided to come here soon.
5:30 p.m.
It’s just past the appointment time.
Now it’s time to come soon….
The moment I thought so.
“Jinhyeok! We’re here!”
“…”
Teresa and Chun Yu-seong appeared in the alley.
Both of them looked quite fresh in their everyday clothes.
Teresa has a lot of TV appearances, but she always wears clothes suitable for battle.
Wearing a casual hoodie and jeans is quite unfamiliar.
They fit well, but should I say it’s like seeing someone else?
‘Anyway, I’m still completely sulking.’
Chun Yoo-seong did not answer any questions after being defeated by Baek Seol-lin.
Something happened there at the time. Why did Wolyeong disappear right after the battle?
You just have to listen to the answer this time.
＊＊＊
The after-party started in earnest.
While everyone was laughing and having fun, Chun Yoo-seong silently emptied his drinking glass without any snacks.
Anyway, he seems like a guy who carries all the weight of the world on his own.
“Hey! Hey! I’m being treated like this now, but in the past, the whole tower trembled at the slightest movement of a finger.”
Ellis, who was getting very drunk, cast a latte.
As the rest were distracted by Alice’s one-day speech, Jinhyeok hinted at the rhyme.
“It’s been quite a while, can’t we talk now? What happened to Moorim?”
“…”
“Wolyoung is gone. Yeonhwa and Taemin lost consciousness midway through a fight with the Moorim guys, so even if they wanted to give an answer, they couldn’t. I know that losing to Seollin Baek hurt their pride. I know you hurt yourselves because of that. If you keep your mouth shut…”
“It’s not because of my pride that I’ve kept quiet.”
Chun Yoo-seong was the first to speak.
“So, what are you doing this for?”
“While cutting down the remnants of Murim and dealing with Baek Seol-lin, one of the Murim people intervened.”
one sentence word.
But the meaning of those words was never light.
“…who intervened?”
“He’s a ignorant old man. I don’t know about details beyond his appearance… He asked this.”
Chun Yoo-seong chewed on the bitter memories of that time.
“Are you the one impersonating my disciple?” ”
…!”
An earthquake occurred in Jin-hyeok’s pupils.
No way… .I
finally understand Wolyoung’s disappearance.
I can understand why Chun Yuseong was in frustration.
The Cheonma Shinkyo.
They finally closed.
Of course I expected that to happen, but the problem is the timing
. This is…’ A new variable appeared
,
and Jinhyeok moistened his burnt lips with his tongue.
Maybe… this time, quite troublesome things will happen
one after another . The
caller
was Han Sang-jin,
who was the president of the Korean Awakened Association.
Normally, he would have passed it on without answering because he was busy, but…
the story is different when a player-only ‘first-class security code’ is set.
