Episode 393. Tangled thread (1)
‘Sun Spring Water’ is originally one of the special items to protect Yggdrasil.
but.
‘There’s no way the beings on the 50th floor ordered Sherry to come here for that reason.’
From their point of view, there was no reason to protect Ragnarok or to make a deal with them under the pretext of the spring water.
If that’s the case…
then you want the spring water of the sun for another reason.
It is clear that there is another purpose to obtain it even at the risk of such a risk.
‘…was it something like that?’
Jinhyeok thought quietly.
Conditional anomaly quest ‘Apocalypse’.
Originally, it was an event that only occurred when entering the 40th floor, but the conditions have been drastically changed.
‘Well, it’s because I never touched their hearts like this in the past.’
No matter what you do, you’ll feel like a thorn in the eye of course.
Anyway, I don’t have much time.
Sooner or later, the deadline promised to Thor Loki is approaching.
In addition, Olympus’s pursuit is intensifying, so we must move even faster.
Suk….
The center of gravity is slightly forward.
The hand holding Barnard in reverse gradually gained strength.
Where should we play properly after a long time?
Quaang!
The Heavenly Demon’s Ruler Limbo, which is said to be the end of walking and divine law.
It was also unfolded using a whopping 5-star air power.
An incomparable storm swept through the inside of the castle.
but.
Kaaang!
Sherry took the surprise attack from behind.
“Still… I’m really surprised you haven’t given your all.”
[Sherry activates her unique ability ‘Hexa Sword’!]
A power that is passed down only to very few people among the Wood Elves.
It is an ability that drastically raises resistance to opposite attributes.
‘okay. That’s what bothered this elf.’
When dealing with abilities such as the Dark attribute or the Heavenly Demon Spirit. Sherry’s own ability increases dramatically.
It means that the stronger you press, the more you grow accordingly.
In addition to the basic body specs, there was no other way to express it other than saying that it was really picky.
Caang!
A blow with speed added to its unique lightness.
Sherry pressed Jinhyeok, leaving afterimages on the afterimage.
“I know that you are strong. I know that many strong people have died in front of you.”
Sherry had a fishy smile on her face. I caught up with Jinhyeok.
“However, my ability is specialized in catching such strong people.”
If you use ‘Sword’s Grave’ or ‘Heaven’s Magic’ as your main focus, a contradiction arises that puts the situation at a disadvantage.
However, if you throw away your unique strengths, that’s like tying your own ankles and fighting.
‘Either way I have an advantage. Above all, this fight is not about winning, just wasting time.’
I have already released the information to Olympus.
Jin-hyeok, who worked with Ragnarok, is here looking for something.
In the end, sooner or later, residents and rankers under the command of Olympus will come crashing into this place.
Tsut… to blame!
Sherry’s eyes turned to the side.
No matter how much he activated the hexa sword, the opponent was too strong to be caught off guard.
It’s not for nothing that the people above are on guard.
Because I missed Jinhyeok out of sight twice in a short time.
fast.
…but.
Booung!
The red dagger followed as if predicting the route.
The two rotating red daggers intersected diagonally.
flinch
Jinhyeok sharply changed the direction he was going and widened the distance.
“Is there a tracking effect attached?”
“Yes. I can catch all the slightest movements.”
“I see, it’s like a sword made from the teeth of a red dragon. Even if it’s Hetzling.”
Jinhyeok’s reaction made Sherry’s eyebrows curve in reverse.
At this point, with an expression that said he was not praying.
“…Really. There’s nothing you don’t know. You… are you really a player? Isn’t it like a hidden manager?”
“I tend to hear that quite a lot. But, I’m not a manager.”
Jinhyuk shrugged.
“Ah…! And now that this has happened, let me ask you one thing.”
Jinhyeok calmly induced the question.
There was something I kept wondering about.
Why did the Wood Elves, who are famous for being aloof, abandon the manager’s honor and go under the 50th floor?
What is the wish you want to achieve by doing so?
“To keep the tower in balance? Or to fulfill a personal wish? What did they promise to take this risk?”
“You’re curious about something that has nothing to do with fighting.”
“It could have a lot to do with it. I know the history of your race.”
“…! If you say that again…”
“Why? You’re going to kill me with that knife? Hmm… But, is it possible with your skills?”
“That’s it… You can check it from now on.”
Dark flesh flowed from Sherry’s body.
Shook!
At the same time that Shin Hyeong disappeared, Jin Hyuk swung Barnard roughly.
Caang!
‘Looks like I’ve touched the yoke.’
…the speed went up a notch.
Kakakang!
No, it went up two levels.
Now it is to the extent that the location can be predicted by the wind blowing across the ground.
however.
Pod!
Fast is the same here.
Increase the speed further with the ‘region of wind’. Suppresses the opponent’s ability with ‘nihilism’.
Jinhyeok and Sherry moved like crazy and collided in the air.
Jinhyeok and Sherry moved like crazy and collided in the air.
In the eyes of others, all they could see were colorful fireworks rising in an empty space.
one sum two sum. and seventy-two sums.
In less than a minute, countless jeolcho came and went.
“Kuk!”
Sherry clicked her tongue.
A long stream of blood spurted from the wound that had brushed his shoulder.
This is the 5th wound already.
No matter how much he increased his speed and used his swordsmanship mixed with paint, he was being caught by his opponent.
“It’s fast and sharp, but it lacks real combat experience.”
“How dare you. A human who can’t live less than 100 years discusses experiences with me?”
Sherry’s fever flared, and she swung her dagger more vigorously.
neck chest. ship.
It stabs visible footsteps.
Of course, an attack made in a state of excitement is easier to read.
Kagagagak!
Jinhyeok used Barnard’s beveled blade to send all the flying knives away.
“Experience doesn’t just mean number of times.”
Confrontation with the strong A realization that can only be obtained by overcoming countless frustrations and despair.
And beyond all that. You should be able to enjoy the process sadistically.
Only then can we call it an ‘experience’.
“It’s not too late now. Just give up and hand over what you’re holding in your hand. Then maybe your life can be saved.”
“You mean to give me my sword?”
“A good weapon is more than one. You can kill it and take it away, but among the mid-level managers, you’re pretty close.”
A sword made from a red dragon’s teeth is quite desirable.
I already have Barnard in my right hand, so I don’t need both, but I’m sure I could use one.
“I don’t make the same offer twice.”
In other words, this is mercy for the last time.
＊＊＊
Gulp….
Dry saliva goes down my throat.
‘My father told me to keep an eye on him, but that’s what he meant.’
The one who was holding his breath in a translucent state was none other than one of the gods of Olympus.
It was Hermes.
I arrived here first after hearing about Ragnarok’s plan through Sherry.
As expected, things were going more exciting than expected.
He unilaterally destroyed Sherry, a mid-level manager who said that one player was stronger than most heroes.
Until now, there were only rumors, so I thought there were a lot of exaggerated parts mixed in. Seeing it myself, I know for sure.
Rumors are not exaggerated in the slightest.
Rather, it was reduced in order not to lose this attractive player.
‘What’s so bad about a monster like that that he joined hands with a dying force…’
Hermes seemed to be sorry. You tasted it.
In my mind, the thought of wanting to make them their apostles filled my head.
‘…It’s too wasteful to throw it away like this…’
If he could get his hands on players like that, it was certain that finishing Ragnarok would be much easier.
Right then.
“This…?”
Whoops!
Blue gates began to appear inside the Sopa Castle.
A feast of powerful magic that transcends cognition.
The advance party of Olympus had arrived.
“Unfortunately, this is the end. Our only hope was to finish it before reinforcements arrived.”
Hermes turned around as if he didn’t need to look any further.
It would be enough for Zeus to report only what has happened so far.
‘And hurry up and start tracking Odin. If I do nothing more, I will become a laughing stock in front of all the gods.’
There was something more urgent than a fight whose outcome had already been decided.
The shoes that allowed me to fly gently crossed the air.
＊＊＊
Cooung!
Chunk!
Warriors armed with colorful armor came out of the gate.
“Huh-huh! I told you so. Time is on my side.”
Sherry breathed heavily and burst into madness.
It seems that the hard work of enduring and coming this far has finally borne fruit.
“Middle manager.”
The poor-looking man who represented the advance party lowered his head.
Like Lu Bu, he was ‘Theseus’ who was ranked as a hero.
“You’re here before it’s too late.”
“Yes. I was able to come just in time thanks to your prompt information.”
Theseus glanced the other way.
The confrontation between Cheon Yoo-seong and Yeo-po was already leaning towards Chun You-seong… but
it would only be for a moment.
If Olympus’ vanguard joins in, the balance will quickly collapse.
Now there is only one thing left.
“I’ll just have to deal with that person.”
“That’s right. He’s a person who disturbs the balance of the tower, so be sure to capture him alive. How did he get more information than our managers? We need to find out.”
“All right.”
Theseus raised his sword and shield.
[Orpheus’s ‘Lyra’ is activated!]
[Wide area healing begins!]
[From now on, all beings in alliance with Olympus will recover +10 HP per second.]
[Duration: 0h:4m :59s]
Shoot ah….
The wounds on Sherry’s body began to heal rapidly.
Middle managers and heroes. And up to 30 elite soldiers and top-notch relics specialized in capture.
This completely turned the situation around.
Jinhyeok, who has already fought fiercely once, and Cheon Yooseong, who is on the defensive, will have no way to reverse this situation.
Frey was also strong, but he was busy dealing with the spirited soldiers. After all, it was only a matter of time.
In the end, it’s just a matter of time.
Jinhyeok’s defeat was decided.
That was common sense, and that was the natural order of things.
…I believed so.
Jinhyuk’s face still overflowed with composure.
I didn’t give up.
I don’t even intend to win against an army like this.
“What is it? It’s not like I lost my mind in despair.”
“No, it’s not like that… Actually, I’m not here alone either.”
[The gate is open!]
A golden gate appeared in the air on the other side.
Unique sentences resembling the moon were dizzyingly revealed.
That pattern…
An earthquake occurred in Theseus’s pupils.
How could I not know?
It’s the trademark of the godhead who has played a trick on them countless times in wars so far.
“Hey… the moon.”
Whoops!
With those words, the gate was completely opened.
“Now it’s my turn to rescue the contractor!”
What appeared was Ataraxia’s blood relative and Alice, who had left for Eden.
“Ha ha ha! It’s finally time to pay back!”
And they were giants and deities belonging to Ragnarok.
