Chapter 665. Returners of the Tower (1)
“What is it?”
Lee Hong-seop made a flagship at the sudden feeling of change.
trembling hands and feet.
As if he had decided to run a marathon at full speed, he was out of breath.
It had to be.
[The ritual has been completed.]
[The ‘nature of Yotleam Gorge’ is moved by the noble sacrifice.]
The 10-minute ceremony has finally come to an end.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
“Gagging. Kuck.”
“Cool.”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu”
The comrades who were with him collapsed on the spot, screaming in pain.
As the purification ceremony was completed, all vitality in the body began to be drawn out.
Of course, only one.
Except for Jinhyeok, who was doing a slightly different motion from the existing consciousness.
‘I approached Ryebolt in the most efficient way.’
Jinhyuk nodded in satisfaction.
If I had been alone, I would have had to choose one of the many high-risk methods, but thanks to the great white sharks who smelled the blood, the work was solved easily.
Still, the sacrificial ritual only extracts the target’s magic and spirit, but does not take away their lives.
Although the age of the body is about 20 years older, isn’t it still better than dying?
‘Being so kind to the kids who came after my life… I’ve become too kind lately.’
After the memory of mankind is erased by the fountain of oblivion. It seems that his mind has weakened as he has been preparing for the floor as quietly as possible.
Jinhyeok crossed between the tattered swing bat raiders.
“You…”
The strongest Eden looked up at Jinhyeok.
It’s called the captain. This guy was the only one who hadn’t lost consciousness yet.
“Let’s not talk about trite things like cheating or doing something. Because you know better than anyone else that this floor is the law of the jungle.”
“…Did you know everything? That we’re after you? Wasn’t that stag also using us as bait?”
“of course.”
“The information… was wrong.”
Eden put on a frustrated expression.
The anxiety I felt for some reason from the first time I met Jinhyeok.
It was only now that I realized what that feeling was.
The reason I couldn’t see the opponent’s level wasn’t because the opponent was weak. It was so high that I couldn’t see the end.
The person who was thought to be infinitely weak turned out to be a predator at the top of the food chain. To the extent that I dare not measure how strong or weak it is.
So even though a large number of people surrounded him and put pressure on him, he was able to take the lead in the situation with such a relaxed and skillful manner like a serpent.
‘Because I only came as a member against such a person…’
Of course, I had no choice but to face this result.
The mission was as if the outcome had already been predicted before it even started.
I didn’t understand why such a strong person hadn’t been known until now, but anyway, that didn’t matter at all now.
Eden stared blankly at Jinhyeok as he approached the deer.
and.
Upon reaching Rybolt, Jinhyeok took out a fragment of light.
“Geuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
Thanks to the purification ritual, Raibault, who regained his sanity at least partially, was fighting with himself to regain his original self.
“Be patient. I’ll get you out of the nightmare right away.”
Pachichik! Parts!
White sparks shot out in all directions.
Jinhyeok looked at the timing to dig inside.
If you just go in naked, you’ll get caught up in that scare.
If so…
[The unique holy spear ‘Seraphim’ is activated!]
The dazzling divine power was manifested in another form of light.
A pair of beautiful wings unfolded, and a ray of golden light intervened in the primordial power deep within Ryebolt’s body.
…now!
Wearing the ‘Quick Crown’, Jinhyeok increased the maximum acceleration.
Quaang!
Footprints dug deep into the ground.
Jinhyeok’s body was already in front of Ryebolt’s nose. [‘The
debris
of light’ is injected!
]
A fragment of light reached Ryebolt’s heart. Golden and purple waves intertwined and a tremendous storm arose.
Unpredictable waves were intertwined as the magical energy repeated synchronization and clash.
a little bit.
Just a little more.
“Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
Ryebolt’s unfocused pupils quickly regained their vitality.
But just then
Wow!
Unexpected mana intervened from the side.
A beam of light covered with blue flame rushed at a terrifying speed.
The shield was created by Seraphim’s protection, but the moment Jinhyeok collided with the flames, he instinctively realized.
That you can’t stop it with just the shield you made while paying attention to Ryebolt.
My body moved before I could make a decision.
Whoops!
A huge crater appeared in the place where Jinhyeok was.
A flame that burns and burns.
It’s not like the Hellfire of the 9th circle.
It’s magic of a much higher order than that.
“Whee! Response is good.”
A woman with a pink ponytail whistled.
Behind him was a black-haired Asian man and a 2m tall Westerner.
The magic that makes the swing bat rankers I’ve played with so far feel like babies. The sticky melted life was burdensome.
‘At this timing…’
Jinhyeok licked his lips.
Because he knew very well who he was.
* * *
Returnee.
It refers to those who have peaked in different dimensions and returned.
There are about 30 such returnees in the Tower of Trials, but most of them have lived in seclusion without belonging to any faction.
It is because many people feel tired of the world because they have been worn out in such a harsh place.
But there are exceptions in this world.
There were those who felt the pleasure of power, money, fame, or just killing and cutting someone.
‘It’s been a while.’
Jinhyeok looked at the woman who cast the spell.
‘The Mage of Pain, Clemence’.
He is a great mage of darkness who tortures others and drives them to death in various ways. A nightmare that alone occupied the empire in a world where the Holy Empire had overwhelming authority.
Clemence was nicknamed the Walking Apocalypse in the dimension she belonged to.
The massacre magic, which started with monsters, reached the devil through the demons. In the end, it reached the empire and ordinary citizens who praised him as a hero.
The annihilation of over tens of millions of people.
In fact, the setting was that Clemence returned to this world again because there were no more creatures to kill in the empire.
“Kick Kick! Can you purify the infected seedlings in this way? It’s fun. fun.”
“Surely the primeval beings are worthy of entrusting the work directly to us.”
The other two are also tough guys.
In contrast to the slender man who is spinning two chain scythes, a muscular man over 2m tall.
They were returnees who conquered different worlds.
“Looks like you’ve been victimized by that human… I’ll give you a special chance.”
Clemence took out a vial containing a cloudy liquid.
round and round
The rapidly spinning glass bottle fell in front of Swing Bat and the mercenaries, including Eden.
“drink. Then you will be able to survive.”
Clemence put on a fishy smile.
A poisoned chalice given by the devil.
but.
There was no choice for those who were on the verge of death.
“Ugh…”
“If I can buy it…”
“Kuh…”
He put the glass bottle to his mouth with a trembling hand. A black liquid trickled down his lips.
“for a moment.”
Eden tried to dissuade him.
It was because he knew that those who appeared out of nowhere simply couldn’t do him any favors. However, it was after all the members had already drank the liquid.
Throbbing…!
My pulse, which had been dying, was beating like crazy.
For a moment, the engineering crew’s eyes turned black.
“Kuaaaa.”
“Koooooo.”
Berserkers steeped in madness.
Those infected by primordial blood could no longer be classified as human.
“Kyahaha! You really drank that. Fools.”
Clemence clapped, his eyes twinkling.
Just looking at those who went crazy with intense pain and seeing their entire body tremble, even if they went crazy, they went mad.
It’s a madness I haven’t felt in a long time since I first met Casey and Jude Law.
Jinhyuk let out a long sigh.
It is said that things in the canyon are easily solved, but anyway, the terrible ancient guys won’t leave them alone.
I didn’t expect to be able to capture those selfish returnees.
[The ‘First Blade’ is summoned!]
Two daggers gently wrapped around my palms.
“Huh. You want to fight us?”
“Since I dropped ashes in the finished rice, I need to beat at least one honey chestnut.”
“Oh my gosh, I’m afraid. Gentleman trying to hit the lady. Because this world is really harsh.”
“Seeing that the wicked woman who grinds men alive is looking for a gentleman, my vomit is about to come out. done If you don’t want to regret it after you die, you’ll have to take out all that great magic from the beginning.”
Pants…!
When the Grave of Swords was activated, a terrifying aura surged from the purple blade.
The atmosphere changed in an instant.
The expression of the returnees changed 180 degrees at the momentum of Jinhyeok, who released his magic in earnest.
“Clements.”
“I know.”
When the muscular man opened his mouth, Clemence tutted and clicked his tongue.
“It’s too bad I can’t kill a man like you here, but our plan isn’t an all-out war here.”
[Clement activates ‘Dimensional Subspace’!]
Wow!
A huge mouth appeared in the air and swallowed Rybolt as it was.
…shit.
Was the main purpose of recovering Ryebolt?
“Whoever wants to.”
Jinhyeok immediately tried to accelerate using the power of the crown.
Right then.
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah!
Those who were infected with the blood of the ancients rushed at Jinhyeok all at once.
Various magic and attack skills poured like a storm.
Awesome!
Jinhyeok cut the entire space.
Even if they were infected with the blood of the ancients, their basic specs were mediocre. Just as you cannot turn a pumpkin into a watermelon by drawing lines on it, the level to which you can ascend to Ganghwa is limited.
but.
“Bye Bye. A prickly brother.”
Clemence had no intention of using these guys to kill Jinhyeok in the first place.
It was enough if it could be used just to buy a second of time.
[Space movement has been activated.]
As the large-scale space movement took place, Clemence, Ryebolt, and the other two returnees disappeared from sight.
An empty forest.
Jinhyeok tousled his hair as he looked at where the reverberation of his magic remained.
I ate a whole room right.
still.
‘It’s not just a loss.’
[Currently tracking the location of Rybolt.]
Jinhyeok fiddled with some of the fragments of light in his hand. The rest remained in Rybolt’s body, so this side also held a hidden card.
In addition, fortunately, knowing the identities of the returnees and their personalities and characteristics also played a big role.
Knowing your favorite fighting style and method…
…the probability of predicting the next move will also increase.
“I have to go back for now.”
I told Undine, but I was away for several hours without a promise.
Now is the time to join the members and prepare for a new battle.
