Solo Max-Level Newbie Chapter 384

Episode 384. Spring of the Sun (4)

– Ellis. Then I’ll trust you You can accept whatever outcome comes out. So don’t be too burdened. Understand?

okay.

The contractor trusted and entrusted it.

It doesn’t matter whether you succeed or fail.

But you can’t break that belief from the start.

“…”

Elise clenched her fists.

The risk has gone up so much that it can’t even be compared to what we decided to do in the past…

“I’ll do that.”

Even if I die, I won’t say the word give up.

“Okay. Then, the rest of you, please wait here. It shouldn’t be too long.”

Belus and Ophelia immediately rebelled at Hatoel’s words.

“Are you sure you’re okay? It could be a trap.”

“I agree. It’s the other side who changed the plan anyway. We have enough to say when we go back.”

“You guys just wait until I come. It’s an order as the family head.”

“…I understand. Sir Lord.”

“If that’s the decision, I have no choice but to follow it… but be careful and come back. I don’t want to lose the family head I serve twice.”

Elise followed Hatorel.

Chunk!

Instead of the front door, the side door hidden between the golden leaves opened.

It was a measure to prevent Elise’s existence from being exposed to other angels.

“Hoo.”

Elise came inside and looked around.

The sanctuary where countless angels live was a spectacle in itself.

The sacred and splendid buildings and the thousands of troops protecting them all deserved the title of the strongest.

But what stimulates the senses the most is…

As expected, it was the magic flowing from the small house located in the corner of the alley.

Jerrit! Jerrit!

A stinging energy transmitted through the skin.

You don’t have to ask Hatoel to find out.

As far as the fact that Gabriel is in there.

“Isn’t that me?”

“Yes. He’s waiting for you. Let’s go first. I’ll check the surroundings and follow you.”

“okay.”

Alice entered the house.

In the small room, a brightly smiling archangel was sipping tea.

“…It’s not like treating guests. I thought you’d at least put in that eerie holy power and wait.”

“Whoops. I’m sorry for this. I wrote that I care, but instinct is inevitable. If you’re the head of Ataraxia, who once wiped out our clan, shouldn’t you be more careful?”

“I’m sure you will.”

Alice sighed coldly and pulled out a letter from her bosom.

“It’s a letter from the contractor. They say there’s a clue to the book you’ve been looking for so long.”

“…!”

Gabriel’s face changed in an instant.

The glaring expression is gone, and only greed and instinct are shining eyes.

Now that the clue to the treasure that I have been looking for for a long time is in front of my eyes, of course my composure is shaken.

“Ah! Get rid of those dirty hands. First, you must have something to give?”

widely!

Eris mercilessly cut off Gabriel’s outstretched hand.

“…This is the information that player Kang Jin-hyeok wants to know. Hasting’s memories of the past are recorded.”

Gabriel put the blue gem on the table.

‘A stone of memory’.

It is a special item that can only be reproduced once.

With this, the exchange items that the two factions wanted were gathered in one place.

[Gabriel is Lv?? I activate the ‘horizontal scale’!]

A golden scale appeared above Gabriel and Elise’s heads.

A sealed letter on one of the scales. And in the other place, a ‘stone with memories’ went up.

Sacred balance that determines each other’s authenticity and compares their values.

If you use this skill, there is no room for any dishonesty to intervene in the transaction.

In fact, the two pieces of information had a similar level of value.

‘It must mean that the clues to the Necronomicon…are only part of it.’

Gabriel nodded his head in anticipation.

If it was a perfect clue, it would have been even weirder.

Still, since he was able to get out of the stalemate where he had no clue at all, it would be a much more profitable business.

Right then.

“However, I told you to tell me this.”

Alice added a word.

“What do you mean?”

“Thanks to Kizakiel’s rampage in the giants’ fortress, the damage was quite large. I want compensation for the damage to be added.”

“Such…! Kizakiel is a fallen angel who was banished from our side before this incident happened. But, how can you hold us accountable?”

“Oh, I don’t know. I’m just conveying what the contractor told me to do. Or, what? Should I overturn this deal altogether? It’s painful to tell who’s the loser?”

Alice pretended to tear up the letter.

“Now, wait!”

It was Gabriel’s side that became urgent.

“As for the reward… what are you talking about?”

“Hmm. It’s nothing special. It’s just that our fort will restore everything destroyed and support it until it becomes a large base?”

“Do you think it makes sense to say that it’s a large base?”

“Okay.”

don’t be

The corners of Elise’s mouth went up.

– Unconditionally push hard. according to his usual personality. Then all conditions are eaten. Eden is urgent.

I was already convinced through Jinhyeok.

All that remains is to continue to pressurize the opponent.

Pudeudeuk.

An eerie sound escaped from Gabriel’s mouth.

“…Okay. Let’s add that contract as well.”

slanted

The balance tilted sharply to one side.

It was an unfair contract from anyone’s point of view, but Gabriel had no choice but to accept the offer by crying and eating mustard.

“Okay. That’s it.”

Alice got up from her seat as if there was nothing more to see.

But at that very moment.

Whoops!

Wheein!

Powerful magic began to surge along the castle.

A warning sound, reminiscent of a siren, also shook all of Eden upside down.

“It looks like they noticed an intruder.”

“You….”

“This is not really intentional. As Hatoel has already said, internal problems have grown on our side as well.”

Gabriel shrugged.

“But don’t worry too much. If the fact that you signed a contract with vampires spreads, we’ll be in trouble as well. Hatorel.”

“yes.”

“Please get Alice safely out of Eden.”

“Okay. If you hurry, you should be able to find a secret passage that is not yet blocked.”

“Sheesh! I can’t.”

Ellis quickly left.

“Oh, I almost forgot to give this to you.”

Gabriel handed me a red apple.

This is no ordinary apple.

Even at a glance, this has an unusual energy….

The Tree of Good and Evil. Or First Apple.

Although it is called with many meanings, it was one of the top-level special items symbolizing Eden.

“You’re giving this… to me?”

“When you’re alone with someone important to you. Feed this apple and you’ll make that person Elise’s.”

A binding force with absolute judgment.

If this is the case…

I’m sure Jinhyeok will come over too.

“Of course, you can’t just have one, but I’m giving it to you to test how effective it is.”

“You think I’m going to use this despicable method? I can make him fall for me with just my power!”

“Hmm. Even saying that makes my eyes shake? Why do I breathe heavily while drooling again?”

“My, when will I!”

“Hehe. Anyway. I’ll look forward to seeing you again. As the head of Ataraxia.”

Gabriel smiled and said goodbye.

＊＊＊

Kwaaang!

bang! bang! bang!

The black legs mercilessly smashed the rocks.

“Damn it! What… such a terrible… octopus… is there!”

Chun Yuseong moved his body like crazy and evaded the attack.

The words are octopus, it’s almost like machine gun fire.

It wasn’t easy to dodge even though I was moving with all my might.

“How long are you going to install that trap?”

“Wait. I’m proud of myself and let go…. I lasted 15 minutes against that guy before.”

“Ha! Only 15 minutes? If you’re 15 minutes, I’m fine with 30 minutes.”

“Thirty minutes… is possible against that monster? Nonsense. That would be impossible?”

Jinhyuk stammered with a startled expression.

“Just wait and see. I’ll show you that I’m different from you.”

Cuckoo Cuckoo!

[Cheon You-seong activates his unique ability ‘Sword Song’!]

Chun You-seong squeezed out all his mana and swung Ryuhwa.

Kwaaang!

The sword wielded by Yogi collided head-on with the leg of the octopus.

‘As expected, a proud guy and an idiot are easy to deal with.’

Among them, the easiest to deal with is the self-respecting fool.

Just like that guy.

Jinhyeok hummed and took out a steel-clad shrimp outside the trap.

Unlike other shrimp, the claws are slightly more curved and larger.

This guy is the key to entering the labyrinth.

And even though he already had the key, the reason why he is rolling Cheonyuseong like that…

is because there was not enough food to eat deliciously in the labyrinth.

‘There are so many delicious ingredients all over the place, so there’s no need to go inside and eat junk.’

Let’s see…

That guy over there has a black line on his back.

That guy must have a lot of oil because he hasn’t finished spawning yet.

While Chun Yu-seong was fighting for his life, Jin-hyeok selected the 7 most delicious ironclad shrimp and stored them in the sub-space inventory.

Next…

Jinhyeok’s gaze turned towards the valley.

A puddle that looks the deepest.

There is an entrance to the labyrinth under the floor.

“You can stop fighting now! Come over here!”

Chin-hyeok shouted and jumped into the water.

In an instant, the cold water swallowed his whole body.

The cold was so bad that even my head froze, but my mind was surprisingly clear.

Jinhyeok was used to swimming.

below.

until you reach the bottom of the valley.

I saw an eagle owl and Chun Yoo-seong following right behind me.

The giant legs of the octopus too.

Hurry up.

If nothing else, running into that giant octopus in the water could be really dangerous.

Pogreure!

Chun Yuseong’s mouth opened violently.

Pointing at the suckers chasing right behind.

damn it I know. If you don’t open the door right away, there will be a big trouble.

‘claws… If you put it in the gap and turn it 23 degrees clockwise…’

Clap!

I knew it.

I’ve already done it so many times that it’s about fitting the keys correctly.

[The Labyrinth ‘Valley of Eternity – Where the Sun Can’t Reach’ is open!]

The bottom of the valley opens. A bright light came out.

At the same time, everyone’s vision turned white.

＊＊＊

“Cool! Cool!”

“Whew… It was close.”

I succeeded in entering the labyrinth by a margin.

If it was even a little late, Chun Yoo-seong would almost become food for the octopus.

but. There is no bird to be safe.

This is the most vicious labyrinth on the 23rd floor.

From now on, I had to think of everything inside as a trap targeting this side.

‘Still, no matter how high the difficulty is, if you know the basic strategy, you can attack enough.’

Jinhyuk brushed off the water from his body.

however.

“I think you think we raised the difficulty level…”

The eagle owl, which had been silent, opened its mouth.

“There seems to be a little misunderstanding there.”

“What does that mean?”

“It’s true that this place isn’t an ordinary labyrinth. But, it’s not us who made this place heterogeneous…”

Cheolkeong!

cooong!

Monsters wrapped in strange skins appeared one by one.

“It’s because of the guy I told you about.”

“Damn it. When the hell…! Kang Jin-hyuk!”

Cheon Yoo-seong shouted.
