Episode 610. Battle of Covenant (4)
A battle that lasted for about an hour.
As a result, 12 large raiding parties of more than 100 people were wiped out, and more than 10,000 soldiers, including a mechanized infantry division, lost their lives.
Thanks to everyone working together, we managed to keep the S-class bosses on their feet, but…
the balance that was barely maintained collapsed at this moment.
“Haha…”
“Does this make sense?”
“There’s a certain level of driving… This is too much.”
The players murmured with dejected expressions.
A huge hole created by a crack in the Tower of Trials. [
The boundary between
the tower and reality is blurred.]
[The dimension continues.]
[Apocalypse ‘Covenant’ – ‘First Impact’ is activated!]
A phenomenon that occurs only when special conditions are met.
The boss monsters of the second half of the 30th floor and the ruins and labyrinths they inhabit were grafted into the real world as they were.
Pants…! Pachichik!
Black and red sparks rose and buildings were smashed like toothpicks.
A structure beyond imagination appeared in its entirety in the middle of Seoul.
[The 38th-floor ruins ‘Airborne Fortress’ is manifesting!]
[39th-floor labyrinth ‘Black Wolf Cave’ is manifesting!]
Even with all the elite members of the large guild, they have not been able to clear even the basic dungeons in the second half of the 30th floor.
It’s just that Jinhyeok climbs at such a high speed that he can only attack the stairs quickly. It means that individual skills cannot keep up with that much.
However, ruins and labyrinths that can be said to be the end of the stairs appeared.
It’s like asking to die.
In particular, the labyrinth ‘Black Wolf Cave’ on the 39th floor was a very familiar name to someone.
“…a black wolf.”
Alice slowly chewed on the name of the labyrinth.
The evil relationship is as deep as it is terrible.
It was a relationship that had been fighting over territory with the vampires for a long time.
In particular, purebloods with red eyes who freely wielded a pair of curved swords, even if they were true ancestors, were hard to think of.
Chun Yoo-seong and Teresa also sensed an unusual magical power.
“My back hurts. Has the damned old man failed?”
“I don’t think Jin-hyeok would have suffered… but it seems that things got messed up.”
If you consider that it takes a huge number of people and sacrifices to clear even one floor. Having to deal with several floors at the same time was not an area that could be measured simply with numbers.
Chun Youseong, who was holding the sword firmly with both hands, let go of the strength in his hands.
Then he looked at the opponent he was fighting just before.
“How can you… do you think it’s time for us to fight each other? If you had a brain, you would know which one is fake, right?”
“…”
Lee Chang-hee’s face crumpled.
Certainly…
If Jinhyeok was a fake, there would be no reason to use a card that could cause an outbreak on another floor.
I didn’t have to drag it on like this, but I would have used it right away when I first got suspicious.
Because it was powerful enough to wipe out the entire human race.
In addition to that, there were a couple of things that made me suspicious of Han Sang-jin, who hadn’t shown up for a long time, or strangely, the cooperative Gandhara Guild with Unknown.
It felt like the thick fog was clearing as I took a step back from the brainwashing of the press.
“Still… it’s impossible to determine the authenticity with just that. If accurate evidence does not come out…”
“It’s absurd to have evidence when everyone looks like they’re going to die. If you’re a player too, don’t be swayed, follow your own intuition.”
There is no time.
There is also no evidence to be sure.
At the point of competing for 1 minute and 1 second, the only thing you can trust is yourself.
Right then.
Cuckoo coo!
The entrance to the labyrinth has been opened.
The growl of the beast resounded from the gigantic den, about 10 meters high.
that buck that buck
something comes
“Kurereuk….”
“Greureuk….”
Black rake and red eyes.
Kakakakak…!
Black wolves holding a pair of curved swords came forward, dragging them on the floor.
It smelled of prey.
The black wolf, the largest among them, bared its fangs at Ellis.
“It’s been a while, Alice von Ataraxia.”
A long scar along one side of his face.
Only one red eye remained.
“Raktak….”
“I still can’t sleep well at night because of the sore eyes I got from you. I heard that most of the abominable canine family members are dead… I’ll cut off the bloodline of that miserable race that few remain.”
Sreung!
The curved sword engraved with various curses pointed forward.
In the past, in the late 30th floor, the two races had been fighting for territory for thousands of years.
After dying and killing, now only hatred is left in reality.
If possible… I didn’t want to fight in such an urgent situation.
Can not help it. It was because they had to get rid of all the beings that were a threat to the contractor.
“You will make me regret not being stuck in that dungeon. Foolish beast.”
Elise also pulled out a rapier with a pair of wings spread out.
*
Same time.
The sky parted, revealing a massive fortress several kilometers across.
A floating fortress that can freely move around the 38th floor of the tower.
The floating city, whose ruins themselves are the boss monster, let out a bizarre resonant sound.
Chunk! Chunk!
The magic turrets hidden all over the city were loaded with magic bullets. A dazzling light began to condense in the crystal ball.
Looking at the new enemies, Lee Chang-hee bit his molars.
Numerous conflicts were buried in the complex mind.
How many seconds had passed like that?
“From now on, we will cooperate with the Goinmul Corporation.”
Unexpected words came out of Lee Chang-hee’s mouth.
It was a direct violation of the guidelines of the Dangun Guild.
“yes?”
“Ha, but the engineering chief?”
“I take responsibility. Gather the elder Yoo Chun-young and other helpers who cooperate with the player Kang Jin-hyeok to block the fortress.”
It’s because I’m suppressed by the trend. There were still forces that supported the Goinmul Corporation.
The same was true of Yoo Chun-yeong, who was imprisoned just in case, and Min Jeong-woo and Lee Yu-ri, who were captured by the Gandara guild.
“shit. If you become unemployed by chance, do you have to open a shop later? Do you know how expensive my ransom is?”
“I am a cafe. Cheongdam or Seongsu.”
Jieun Lee and Kyuha Choi.
The brother and sister ranker of the Dangun guild sighed deeply and stood next to Lee Chang-hee.
“I think we’ll have a fight against Gandhara too.”
One of the main tanks of the Dangun Guild, Lee Ki-joon, also picked up a huge battle hammer and shield.
Due to the nature of those who have trusted the chief of engineering for a long time, they intended to silently follow the decision made by Chang-hee Lee.
“Time will be ours. You guys somehow stop that damned apocalypse.”
“I will do my best.”
Chun Youseong once again firmly gripped the sword with both hands.
A variable created in the worst-case scenario.
From now on, it’s a battle of who moves faster.
⁕⁕⁕
“You played a very funny prank.”
Jinhyeok looked at the bosses who appeared in reality.
I knew Unknown would have several hidden cards, but I didn’t expect that he would come to see the bosses of the late 30th floor all at once.
Because it is known that it is almost impossible to make a high-ranking item of the ‘string connecting beliefs’.
In fact, even when approaching the top of the tower in the past, Jinhyeok also gave up on making that item because it required too many material items.
however.
You’ll see it for yourself.
It seems that this is possible…
It was when I was thinking about that.
Whoops!
Along with the bright light, several figures moved in space around Unknown.
They were the rankers of Gandhara, Kumar, Deshmuk, Kazal, and Antia.
“Awesome. Did you come all the way here?”
“It seems that Unknown-nim also gathered a lot. Enough to call us all.”
“So let’s fight together with us right now.”
“no. I’d rather not have eyes to see, and personally, I think this is better.”
The four players, who are receiving the protection of the guiding gods, acted leisurely as if they had foreseen this situation.
“Did you fall for Unknown from the beginning? There’s no way he doesn’t know that he’s going to turn Hyundai into a mess, right?”
“Humanity will perish… what does that mean?”
To Jinhyeok’s reprimand, Kumar answered instead with a fishy smile.
“Stupid humans leave everything to us and sit by in a safe place. We risk our lives to climb the tower, but they are enjoying their daily lives while skipping the benefits. Why should we sacrifice ourselves for such idiots?”
Compensation is just an unsatisfactory reward compared to the effort.
To those who were praised as the pinnacle of humanity, such things were nothing more than salt water.
however.
Top is different.
A utopia overflowing with endless possibilities and numerous resources.
Reality and the top, if only to be guaranteed a proper location. Which of the two to choose is already decided.
“…I guess Unknown said he would put on a combat coat one by one.”
“The absolute one who practically controls the tower. And the great Indian deities and the humans chosen by them. Isn’t it beautiful as a picture?”
“well. In my experience, usually those who talk like that are used and then thrown away.”
Jinhyuk shrugged.
“How dare a cheeky bastard talk like that knowing what he knows…!”
Kwaaang!
The chakram was inserted right in front of Jinhyeok’s feet.
Golden mana flowed out from the circular blade embedded in the ground.
It’s ready to run right now.
Then Unknown’s hand went up on Kumar’s shoulder.
“You don’t have to react to those words. I do not betray those who have decided to be with me differently than anyone else. All you have to do is not worry about it and put all your energy into destroying that human.”
A tone of voice without any hesitation.
Only then did Kumar temper his anger.
“All right. We’ll take care of this, so take it easy and focus on restoring your strength.”
I had no intention of keeping Jinhyeok alive from the start.
Using the newly acquired power of God…
…I intend to completely destroy it.
[The rankers of Gandhara activate their special skill ‘All-in-one!
‘
Pillars made of light fell with tremendous magic power.
The ability of the major gods of the world to dwell in a human body.
It is a special ability that can only be used by those who have received the title of ‘Apostle’.
Moreover, it wasn’t just rankers from the Gandhara Guild that Unknown called in through ‘First Impact’.
[Thousands of deities will manifest after a while.]
[Remaining time 0H : 2M : 59S]
I think I know why Kumar was so confident.
In addition to the bosses on the second half of the 30th floor, they are in a situation where they have to deal with the huge myth of Cheonsei.
but.
This side also has a trump card prepared in its own way.
One of three ‘untradable’ items.
[‘Incomplete Bookmark’ activates!]
It’s finally time to use this.
