Episode 380. Perfect Victory (2)
While Jinhyeok was attacking the 20th floor, the war with Ragnarok and Olympus was almost coming to an end.
A one-sided victory for the Olympus side.
Although they struggled in Jotunheim, as a result, the direction of the match was already decided.
“…I heard that all areas except Yggdrasil have been captured.”
“Oh, did the news reach the players already? Hahaha. This is embarrassing.”
“Since I have some connections, information tends to come in quickly.”
To be precise, I was memorizing all the numbers of cases when playing in the past.
There’s no need to tell Loki or Thor about it.
“Then, the conversation will be fast. As you said, our situation is not very good. Fortunately, thanks to the unique geography, we are protecting Yggdrasil, but even that won’t last long.”
If Yggdrasil, the foundation of Ragnarok, is lost, it is the end.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the world tree symbolizing a myth was Ragnarok itself.
“So, what do you want from me?”
“I’ve heard about the activities of the forces you lead. To be honest, they’re so strong that it’s hard to believe they’re human.”
I knew it. Are you asking for help?
But no matter how strong the Old Man Corporation is, you probably know that it’s not strong enough to stand up to Olympus’ main force.
As if guessing Jinhyeok’s thoughts, Loki quickly added a word.
“Ah! Of course, I’m not asking for anything outrageous. In fact, what we’re asking for is asking for one specific item.”
“You want materials to protect Yggdrasil. Two of the three that are the foundation of the confrontation system can be obtained somehow from the Ragnarok side, so what’s left is the ‘spring water of the sun’.”
“…!?”
Loki suddenly became a mute after eating honey.
It was because he never imagined that the ending of the conversation could be predicted with just that clue.
“Haha! This is a good shot. Yes. You are right. Our only hope is to protect Yggdrasil. But, there are a few things we need to protect the World Tree from Olympus’ vicious attack. .”
In place of Loki, who was standing in a daze, a tall man next to him stepped out.
Thor.
Indeed, just facing them makes me feel out of breath and stuffy.
Even though he hides his mana to the extreme, it’s this much.
I wondered how strong the completely freed body would be.
This is because in the past, Thor, the great hero of Ragnarok, was killed by the Demon World before he could even fight properly.
‘That was a bit disappointing. Unlike Hercules, Thor hasn’t even bumped into him a few times.’
This was one of the few things I regretted while climbing the tower.
Then…
‘what if it was me now?’
Jinhyuk’s fingers twitched.
At this point, less than three years have passed since entering the tower.
Originally, a battle with a godhead was a taboo that had to be avoided at all costs.
But why?
The thought of hopelessness did not lift the nail.
Worth a try.
Even if the opponent was the toughest high-level deity.
“Hey, keep the cutting edge in moderation. I know we’re asking for an unreasonable favor, but there’s no such thing as too hostile, right?”
“I’m not asking for help bare-mouthed. We’ve prepared our own, too. Something you’ll like.”
The two gods, who misunderstood Jinhyeok’s murder in a different way, rushed to the main point.
Loki carefully pulled out a white leaf from his bosom.
This…?
An earthquake occurred in Jinhyeok’s pupils.
I expected to give an unusual reward, but I never imagined that I would offer this.
“Yggdrasil’s… leaf.”
“Haha…”
“There’s really nothing I don’t know. Only then will there be no need to explain.”
Loki and Thor now reacted in amazement beyond surprise.
It was because only a few of the deities belonging to Ragnarok had seen the leaves of Yggdrasil.
“So, what are you going to do? If you’re the one with the crown, you know how valuable Yggdrasil’s leaves are.”
The Crown of Paedo is one of the top-notch artifacts that exist in the tower, but it had the disadvantage of being difficult to handle.
Usually, it was made for use by monsters with levels over 500 or who have the body of an infinite body, so of course the requirements are enormous.
However, as long as you process Yggdrasil’s leaves well…
‘I’ll be able to adjust my magic enough to handle it with my current level.’
This condition is quite attractive.
It’s good enough to say that it’s more than expected.
“How long can I do it?”
The deal was done.
I also decided where to go next.
＊＊＊
“What is this?”
When I returned to the ball, there were quite a few things unfolding.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
A chandelier shaking violently.
The warm and inviting prom no longer exists.
“Are you here now? Please, take care of the aftermath.”
Chun Youseong clicked his tongue and greeted me first.
“What are you talking about?”
“I know when I see it. When I see it…”
What the hell are you looking for?
Jinhyeok’s gaze turned to the ballroom.
OK.
“The foolish saintess looks a bit tired today. Did she grow old in just one day after praying all day long?”
“Oh my gosh. Did you know that a kid who has lived for thousands of years can do just fine by wearing flashy clothes? The clothes are loose, so I thought they were mom’s clothes.”
“do you want to die?”
“You will live a long time.”
The members of the Goinmul Corporation, who are engaged in a tremendous war of nerves, caught my eye.
Alice and Teresa raised their voices.
We didn’t just lift each other’s swords. I’m inclined to stab with words.
‘When did Teresa go black like that again…’
It was when Jinhyeok sighed.
“Hehe. Jinhyeok-nim. Please come this way for a moment.”
Andrea, smiling brightly, approached Jinhyeok.
The eyes are smiling, but the atmosphere is strong.
as if to prove it.
Shuk.
Swoop…
A large number of people approached Jinhyeok.
Believers in the 5th floor ‘psychiatric ward’.
To be precise, they were Andrea’s limbs.
“Now, what are you doing… Andrea?”
“Well, there’s an event to dance in front of the emperor at a ball a little later.”
I think I will remember hearing that such an event will be held.
“So what does that have to do with this?”
“Kyaa. Pretending not to know…!”
Andrea covered her face with both hands as if she was ashamed.
at the same time.
Sreung!
Chunk!
Various weapons protruded from the arms of the followers.
“I definitely want to dance with Jinhyeok-nim no matter what.
creepy
Cold sweat ran down Jinhyuk’s back.
This is dangerous.
“Yoosung…ah?”
“Didn’t I tell you? You should do all the cleaning yourself. I don’t know.”
Chun Yoo-seong turned his gaze away with a single knife.
“shit.”
fault.
Jinhyeok left his seat and ran along the side corridor of the terrace.
“You won’t miss it!”
Andrea and her followers started chasing after her.
How long has it been since you were chased by believers like that?
It was none other than Frey who saved Jinhyeok from being cornered.
Kwak Kwa Kwak!
He used a javelin to break down the wall and disrupt the line of sight.
“Thank you, Frey. Thanks to you, I’m saved… Huh?”
Frey looked up at Jinhyeok with an expressionless face.
I wondered where I got it, but the blue dress looked particularly good with the blue hair.
the problem is.
“What is dancing?”
The point is that Frey, who had no doubt that he would get him out of this hell, was not on the same side.
“…It’s a kind of social activity, but it’s a useless action that doesn’t help at all in battle.”
“I’ve never done it, I don’t know.”
Frey tilted her head.
but.
“I think you should try it at least once to accumulate data. The probability is 100%.”
“…”
It was caught firmly wrong.
“Were you hiding here? Silly contractor!”
“If I can’t get my hands on it, I’d rather cut it off.”
What’s more, when Elise and Teresa joined the battle afterwards, the situation turned even more hellish.
＊＊＊
About 1 hour later.
The scramble, reminiscent of a war, was over.
To be precise, it became a scramble with only wounds, with no winners or losers….
Because of Jin-hyeok, who had disappeared into the crowd, Alice, Teresa, Frey, and Andrea blankly watched the dance, the highlight of the ball.
The sight of good men and women dancing in pairs made a part of my heart ache.
“…Whoa.”
Alice sighed deeply.
Exactly, I wanted to be with Jinhyeok in there.
No matter how hard you try, the world doesn’t go back as you want.
“I’m going to search some more. What about the foolish saint?”
“Well, I’m going to stay here a little longer.”
“You give up quickly. Do whatever you want.”
Theresa, who was left alone, sat down on the steps as Elise left.
Right then.
Chun Yuseong reached out his hand to Teresa without saying a word.
“Huh. Did you come to comfort me?”
“I’ve been taught that a woman who is sad is not to be left alone.”
“Really… he’s a no-nonsense guy.”
Teresa laughed and rose from her seat.
“Still, I should give this Sundingi a chance to dance like this. Otherwise, I’ll suffer alone for the rest of my life.”
[Teresa cancels ‘Corruption’.]
“Mr. Yoosung?”
Theresa’s eyes widened.
“Ah that… ah…”
“This way.”
Chun Youseong led Teresa to the middle of the stage.
Soon, the two danced with an elegant tune.
＊＊＊
“Did you barely get away with it?”
Jinhyeok, hiding among the people, let out a long sigh.
I didn’t notice it because I was just running away, but all of a sudden, a lot of people around me were dancing to the song.
‘I’ll just have to hide and get out of the ballroom.’
After all, if you make up your mind and run away, no one will catch the rotten water.
But just then
“Chuck! Our student doesn’t seem very popular. Seeing him standing alone here alone.”
Dark Emperor’s voice rang out from behind.
“No, it’s not how Master is here. Not popular. What does that mean?”
“Don’t worry. Doesn’t this teacher exist?”
Dark Emperor grabbed Jinhyeok’s wrist with his left arm.
It could be said that it was almost simultaneous. His right hand, like a hook, tightly gripped Jinhyeok’s waist.
“S, Master?”
“Take a good look. This is the ‘Heukcheon Paewang Dance’ that has been passed down
from generation to generation in our school…!” Kwaang!
There was a
huge wave along the ground.
lan power. If I did this dance, there was no girl who didn’t pass!”
It’s not that they didn’t, it’s that they all died.
The word to stop came out of Jinhyeok’s throat, but
it was already too late. Dark emperor’s dance had begun.
“Uhhhhh!
” Kwakwa!
Jinhyeok’s body rotated so much that he couldn’t see it at the rotation like a storm.
Would it be like this if the merry-go-round was turned at 100x speed?
The
marble floor dug out at a terrifying speed
. ”
“I can’t even pick a bone if I get involved!”
The nobles rushed out of the ballroom.
Seeing the pillars collapsing like toothpicks, it’s really worth ten lives.
The face of the current emperor crying in the distance and foam I could see Pennheimer biting his tongue and Ebraham smiling as if he was having fun.
Even when the rebellion broke out, the imperial palace didn’t collapse. Hundreds of years of history are on the verge of disappearing into powder.
“I’m dying. Master. I really die!”
“Hold on! This is all training to win women’s hearts! Heukcheon… Overlord’s martial arts! 3 seconds!”
No, I’m dying!
