Episode 291. Black Goats (1)
“Salamander.”
At Jinhyeok’s call.
Whoa!
A space was opened.
Soon after, a fire lizard much larger than the spirit beast Johansson called appeared.
The luster that flows along the scales.
Pointy teeth and lustrous flames.
“Khao-ooh! Master! I’m here! What’s going on?”
Roaring!
Bright flames soared high.
“Yes, yes. It’s not a big deal. I called for a while. Hey, make the fire a little stronger. Yes. Let it burn very roaring.”
“Main, Intermediate level… Spiritual water. No, that level should be close to advanced level?”
Johansson’s pupils dilated.
What kind of a melee dealer is playing a high-level elemental beast?
I just couldn’t believe it.
It was a reality that even the existing spiritists had a hard time maintaining low-level spirits.
But the confusion was only for a moment.
“Kuk! Don’t be ridiculous. I can handle more than one spirit beast.”
Johansson, who had regained his composure, concentrated his mana once again.
Whoops!
Along with the bright light, the water spirit appeared this time.
“Did you call?”
The spirit in the form of a woman politely put her hands together.
A spiritist who can handle as many as two spirit beasts.
This would be enough to prove his greatness.
but.
“It’s Undine. Come out for a moment, too,”
Jinhyeok said, and the situation began to flow strangely again.
Johansson’s spirit beast was startled and gently lifted the skirt made of water.
“Above, meet the great water spirit.”
“You know me?”
“I’ve met you once in the spirit realm. Of course, you probably don’t remember it because I watched it from afar. It’s really an honor to meet you.”
“OK.”
Undine nodded.
“What are you doing here?”
“Why, it’s because you’re possessed by a terrible demon. Hell awaits you if you don’t come out when called.”
Undine put a candy made of water into her mouth.
A long stream of steam spewed out of his mouth.
“Ha… Don’t live like an older sister. Meet a good owner and walk on the flower road. Every day is hard.”
“It looks like you’re having a lot of trouble.”
“Yeah, is this ‘life’? Water candy feels bitter today.”
It was a long sigh, feeling the wind and waves of the years.
“No, what the hell are you guys…”
Johansson’s lips trembled.
The case where the spirits are polite to the spirits is a story that only applies when the level is much higher.
In other words.
It means that the opponent’s elemental skills are far superior.
“What the hell is going on now!”
A scream close to a scream rang out.
＊＊＊
About an hour after that.
“…”
Johansson, who was arrogant, was completely downcast.
It was because he had painfully experienced how weak his spirits were in the battle against the insects that came up along the passage afterwards.
-Ah, the two spirits are over. also at a lower level. Oh, I see.
-haha. Of course, you do spirits as a hobby, right? Not your main job?
-That’s the original job. hey They say it’s difficult these days, but it seems that the Titan Guild is also picking up unemployed people. No matter how precious the elemental sage is, this is a bit harsh.
-Aren’t you holding on to the weakness of the Titan Guild Master? Like hiding a video or something. or a secret ledger.
-It’s a joke. Don’t open your eyes like that. Because I want to pull it out. Anyway, I’m really, really, really glad that you’re a real spirit sergeant. If I had a different job, I would have done the goblin raid on the 1st floor.
Jinhyeok took out all 5 spirit beasts as if showing off.
The scene of dealing with bugs with the spirit special forces pose or joint linkage technology that was previously combined was just admiration.
I can’t even guess how rigorous I trained to be able to do something like that.
“There must be something like a special move for that one too, right?
“…Me, I have at least one special move…” ”
Ah. I think your spirit technique is a special move itself. The opponent says that this is all there is to it and induces them to lose their guard. Because you can.”
Jinhyuk smiled brightly.
“Master. That man is crying.”
The gnome, in the form of a small golem, pointed a finger at Johansson.
“If you all play, eat, and roll all day long, you’ll end up signing a contract with someone like that when you grow up.”
“I don’t like it. Such a weak master.”
“That’s right. The magical power is so weak that it would be difficult for us to be in the present world.”
“I’d rather bite my tongue and die.”
“I’ll train hard from now on, master!”
“Everyone be quiet. My head hurts.”
After a long time, the spirits came together and praised Jinhyeok.
Even if the character is angular, a contractor with sufficient horsepower is much more reliable.
On the other hand, for Johansson, who had to hear it all face to face, every minute and every second felt like hell.
shame and humiliation.
Beyond that, human dignity itself was degraded as if it had become a cockroach’s hind legs.
“You’re mean.”
Aidan let out a bitter smile.
I watched it quietly to let the newcomer who was full of vain winds know that the world is not easy.
True education was too shocking.
It was to the point of breaking the will to live.
“Haha… Damn old people, damn talents. Everyone die. Please die. Die. Die.”
Seeing him walking from the edge of the raid muttering to himself…
It seems that the psychological damage was severe.
Was it a little too much?
… is a horn. I have to plant ptsd to the bone so that I can never climb again.
‘Looks like the spirit beasts who contracted with him seem to like my Undine and Salamander, so I’m going to have to cancel the contract altogether and recruit new slaves.’
It is an established theory that a guy who has once exposed his teeth is stamped and pressed so that he never dares to think of doing so again.
But that was just then.
Tring!
An unusual beep sounded.
It is not a personal status window.
This is because a status window appeared in front of Jinhyeok and all of the Titan Guild players in the aisle.
[Some cracks have opened in the system.]
[Communication with the outside world has been established.]
[Conditions have been met.]
[Something indescribable is manifesting!
] Couldn’t compare to anything.
creepy
the air freezes
“…This can’t be.”
Only Jinhyeok here knows exactly what this word means.
at the same time.
[A message has arrived from player Cheon Yoo-seong.]
[A message has arrived from player Teresa.] [
A message has arrived from resident ‘Andria’.]
The pouring messages covered my view.
…started
much faster than expected.
“Go, player Kang Jin-hyeok. What the hell… how did this happen?”
Aidan asked urgently.
He, too, was pouring in messages from the red status windows and the main base of the guild.
“Boo, I’m sure… The Japanese prophet said there was a week left…”
Yes. Takeshi said so.
However, Takeshi’s prophecy is that the body of the ‘black goat’ will come down in a week.
It must have been that he hadn’t even seen the minions coming before that.
‘…It’s kind of dangerous. this time.’
Jinhyuk’s heart started beating fast.
＊＊＊
A day that goes around like a treadmill.
In a way, it was a boring and insignificant daily life.
Rather, it was human nature to be frantic to find something to stimulate.
but.
All of that has collapsed from this moment.
Whoa!
Whoops!
Simultaneous cracks occurred both inside and outside the tower.
Black smoke billowed over the shimmering surface.
The 5th floor of the Tower of Trials. ‘arena’.
The border area between Murim and the Empire.
America, France, China, Australia and Korea.
The entrances of all seven gates shook violently. As if something is about to jump out at any moment.
“Right now, all the guild members in the tower. Let everyone gather in Daejeon. Yes. Daejeon! Daejeon!”
Gi-tae Kim of the Fighting Guild shouted madly.
The rankers of other large guilds, including Han Sang-jin, the head of the Korean Awakened Association, also moved quickly.
“Please gather the necessary number of people. Inform the police and the military that citizens should also go through evacuation procedures. Also, what about overseas support?”
“It looks like you’re out of your mind too. I can’t even reach you because of the gates that have appeared in each country!”
There is no support.
At that fact, the atmosphere of the Awakened Association staff sank heavily.
Although it was only a wide-area scan, not a direct measurement.
Now, the magical power of the gate that appeared in Korea was far beyond the measurable range.
But just then
“Japan…! The Samurai Guild has promised support!”
An employee in charge of communications urgently shouted.
“Japan?”
“Yes. Takeshi, the ranker who prophesied this incident, was greatly favored by our player, Kang Jin-hyuk.
Kang Jin-hyeok.
Did someone who owes that person appear again this time?
Han Sang-jin’s face showed a deep sense of gratitude and self-help.
Although he was leading the Korean Awakened Association, he was ashamed of himself for having less influence than a single player.
It was because of the mixed pride that a reliable player would be with them just by being there in this critical time.
“Where is player Kang Jin-hyuk now?”
“It has been confirmed that they even entered the 16th floor.”
“Keep looking. It’s your top priority.”
If there is anyone who can solve this situation…
…there was only one.
Han Sang-jin put his hands together. The hand that held it trembled.
like that.
The situation passed by arguing for one minute and one second.
Japan’s samurai guild moved to help Korea.
India’s Gandhara guild moved to help China.
Usually, they moved only for their own interests, but when an irresistible enemy appeared, everyone gathered their strength as one.
in the name of humanity.
and.
With the calculation that if the front line collapses, they will be next in line.
* Currently, the location of the gate that appears in Korea is Gapcheon, the center of Daejeon.
An enormous gate floated above the water flowing along the stream.
“Is this… a dream?”
“Why is something like that here? What the hell…”
Ordinary citizens stared at the water in a daze.
Time seemed to have stopped at such an unrealistic sight.
“Don’t look and avoid it. There! There’s no time. Hurry up!”
“Please move quickly. The guild members have to come, so please leave your vehicles left and right and get on the military bus.”
Police and soldiers controlled the road.
Guild players also gathered every moment
. Have you seen something like that?”
One martial arts dealer gulped dryly as he looked at the gate.
“Damn it. It’s my first time in that class. I thought I had rolled in my own way at the Tower of Trials for the past year, but it was completely different. It’s not just the size of the gate… it’s the magic that takes your
breath away even though you’re so far away
. ” Until stronger rankers than us come.”
That’s the best way.
Anyway, the 100 or so gathered right now couldn’t deal
with anything
out there. Right
then.
Something outrageous started coming out:
“Oh, here it comes!”
“Damn it. We haven’t evacuated all the civilians yet…!”
“Formation! Shit. I have to hold on somehow!”
Kuku-kuku!
The
ripples spread out slowly and the gate opened completely. A
huge creature in the shape of a black goat appeared. And the moment
he faced it
.
Terrible screams erupted from their mouths.
