Episode 101 Medusa Raid (1)
1. 50% of the raid will die from traps.
2. One of them must clear the trap unscathed and obtain the ‘Burning Flame’.
The fire-drinking snake was a trap that only activated when these two conditions were met at the same time.
“The interesting thing is that this guy is named class. The point is that other guys in the labyrinth notice our existence.”
“What is that… I can’t believe it?”
Maeda’s pupils dilated rapidly as he listened to the explanation.
Still, as an air force commander, he is quick to notice.
“that’s right. It means that after a while, we have to deal with not only this guy, but also Medusa at the same time.”
Unlike other labyrinths, the gray temple had the characteristic of moving the boss monster instead of being in the room.
Well, just by looking at the stone statue near the entrance, it would have been easy to infer that Medusa could roam freely inside the labyrinth.
Of course, no matter how much I kept in mind the possibilities, I wouldn’t have expected that I would have to deal with a named monster and a boss at the same time.
Right then.
A sharp sound rang out.
“Kiyi!”
It is so large that it can touch a 10m high ceiling.
The red-hot snake flicked its tongue at the players.
Anyway, I can’t be a nobleman.
It’s like when you see people interfering in a conversation and can’t stand it.
“okay. Even if I’m not so desperate, I won’t ignore you.”
Jinhyuk raised his head.
[Fire Drinking Snake]
Level: 55
Description: A pet snake raised by Medusa. All physical attacks are impervious to it because its entire body is made of flame. In addition, it can spit out the fire accumulated inside its body, but it has power reminiscent of a dragon’s breath in a small space, so be careful.
Jinhyeok, who activated ‘Eye of Gluttony’, read the detailed description of the target.
Level 55 is on the low side, but you should never take it lightly.
It was because he could only inflict damage with magic attacks and had a small breath that boasted the highest efficiency in a straight passage with no cover.
“Oh, I haven’t even done maintenance yet.”
Maeda’s voice trembled.
With the state of the almost destroyed samurai guild, it was impossible to deal with that snake.
Let alone forming a formation, everyone didn’t even have the strength left to lift weapons or armor.
“Ugh…”
Takeshi also made an expression as if he was about to lose his mind from fear.
It seems that this scene did not exist in his future poetry.
good.
It seems that this is enough for the directing aspect.
“Now that you have figured out the subject, shall we do the calculation again soon?”
“what? What are you calculating?”
What are you looking surprised at?
The relationship between A and B has been decided, but of course we have to write a new contract.
“Pass the shield of Perseus first. Wouldn’t it be better for me to use it than for someone who doesn’t even know how to use it?”
A pearl on a pig’s neck is a luxury.
Especially when life is at stake.
Jinhyeok suggested a chance to live.
However, Maeda was not willing to accept those words.
“Do not bullshit! What is this… no god damn it. Some idiot handed over the holy relic for free!”
“okay?”
It’s a pity.
Even so, I gave you one last chance as a human being.
You can’t do it if you kick yourself.
“Then let’s retrieve the shield from the corpse.”
Jinhyeok coldly drew the final line.
at the same time.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
All the moisture in the air began to evaporate.
Her lips were dry and her skin was also pale.
A view through strained eyes.
It was a fireball stuck in the snake’s mouth.
[‘Fire-drinking snake’ activates Lv15 ‘Wire of Fire’!]
“Avoid blood!”
Maeda exclaimed urgently.
But where are you going to escape?
This is a straight, straight passageway, isn’t it?
“Wow!”
“Buy and save me!”
The instinct to survive somehow was mixed with the reality that you could never survive.
That moment.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
A red orb condensed into a single point crossed the passage.
“come!”
“How could you do this…”
“Wrong.”
Lee Young-kwon and other players from the Father to Fight Guild opened their mouths in a daze.
It seemed that nothing could stop the approaching stream of fire.
But just then
[Lv8 ‘Glacial Formation’ is activated!] A
huge ice crystal appeared in front of my eyes.
It was Jinhyeok.
When the glacial formation was overlaid on the barrier, the pure white rune took on a bluish light.
Defense using the properties of the opposite.
Even if you don’t know the dragon’s breath. It was possible to block the fire stems used by the snake.
The father who fights with this is safe.
“Shit!”
Maeda also hid behind Perseus’s shield.
Parts…
The effect of the holy relic was activated and a pink curtain spread around Maeda.
but.
The range was too small compared to Jinhyeok’s barrier.
Because it was barely able to protect two or three people.
Everyone took a deep breath.
at the same time.
A scare swept through the aisle.
***
Chiyiik!
Haze that occurs along the ground.
The players of the Samurai Guild, who had turned into charcoal, scattered as a handful of ashes.
It happened so quickly that I couldn’t even feel the pain.
However, it may be fortunate that he died instantly.
“Uh… Aaaagh!”
A scream escaped Maeda’s mouth.
I had terrible burns all over my body, so I had no choice but to do so.
It was a serious injury that would not be strange if an ordinary player died immediately.
“So you said. It would be better to hand over the relics that are not used well.”
If I had done the reward, I wouldn’t have to die.
Haven’t you dug your own grave?
“It’s self-inflicted, so if you want to resent it, resent yourself.”
sympathy?
It doesn’t cost anything.
Because it was the guys who crossed the line first in the first place.
In addition, due to the characteristics of the ‘relentless heart’, it has become more merciless to the target it recognizes as an enemy.
Maybe all of this was a defense mechanism to save the majority.
in order to survive. To climb the top of the tower and prevent the destruction of mankind. I had to get rid of everything that got in my way.
‘There will be a few minutes until the next breath comes, so before that…’
Jinhyeok approached Maeda, who was about to lose consciousness.
Then, he blew cold air into the shield that had fallen on the floor.
with thick smoke.
The red-hot surface of the shield cooled down.
[Shield of Perseus]
Difficulty to obtain: S (red)
Description: A mythological hero. A holy relic used by Perseus to fight Medusa. It is a shield that boasts overwhelming defensive power, but Athens, the owner of this shield, also valued the qualifications of the person who uses the shield. Depending on the skill and potential of the player, the ability of the shield is also applied differently.
The reason why even the breath used by the snake could not be blocked even though it was a sacred relic used by the highest level of divine power.
It is because of this.
‘Only those who have proven themselves worthy can handle this shield. What does this mean?’
Jinhyeok tightly gripped his shield.
Hot.
I could feel the hot magic power welling up from my fingertips to the top of my head.
The shield is reacting.
Like a roar of joy at meeting a proper owner, unlike a moment ago.
It was then.
“What are you all about… what are you?”
Takeshi, who was unscathed thanks to Maeda’s back, opened his mouth.
Your voice trembles violently.
It had to be.
Although he repeatedly used his half future poems, he could not get a glimpse of the future for Jinhyeok.
‘No matter how imperfect my ability is, I have to show even the smallest future.’
whatever it will look like in a few hours.
Or what it will look like in a few decades.
This means that one point must be verified.
but.
For some reason, Jinhyeok’s future was dark as if it were covered by a blackout curtain.
I don’t know why.
What is certain is that this man is unlike any player I have ever met.
“Answer me. you. What does it have to do with this tower?”
“why? Is it strange that you can’t figure it out even with those great ‘eyes’?”
Jinhyeok smiled.
“…! Do you even know about my abilities?”
Seeing through a unique ability I hadn’t told anyone about before.
What the hell does this mean?
“I can’t believe it… its power its ability. It’s not a human domain. okay. No matter how you think about it, this is impossible.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Jinhyeok shrugged his shoulders as if it didn’t matter.
And he added a word casually.
“I’m one of the ones at the top of the tower.”
One of the beings at the top of the tower?
Takeshi chewed on those words slowly.
But it was only for a short while.
Because that word meant only one thing.
“no way…!”
Was it like that
Then everything made sense.
The absurd power and ability that the opponent has.
And even the future that cannot be seen as future poetry. entire.
‘He wasn’t human… he was a god.’
Through the future, Takeshi saw the deities in an unknown place in the tower.
Those who make the air tremble with just their voice and the ground splits at the touch of a hand.
It was so out of touch with reality that I never told anyone in the guild, but I never thought I’d meet one of those lofty beings in person.
There is no chance of winning with a mere human body.
Existence itself will turn into nothingness just by going against the mood of the godhead.
pounding! pounding! pounding!
Both bats pounded as if their hearts would explode.
It felt as if my body would collapse at any moment.
“I dare to die…”
Takeshi lowered his head with a pale face.
The whole body trembled like an aspen tree, and it seemed pitiful.
‘Poop!’
Seeing this, Jinhyeok barely held back a laugh that almost exploded.
Seriously, it was dangerous.
It just almost exploded.
‘As expected, it’s easy to be fooled by looking into the upper floors of the tower clumsily.’
Godhead is a horn.
‘If I were a god, would I be climbing one floor at a time?’
You must have built an elevator that goes from the 1st floor to the 50th floor and flew at high speed, right?
They said that if the head is bad, the body suffers.
There is nothing wrong with what the elders said.
However, Jinhyeok tried to hide his expression calmly.
Considering the position this guy had in the samurai guild, it was because he had something to use in the future.
ah.
Wait a minute before that.
“Keeeh!”
A second breath was fired.
A cataclysm approaching, burning everything in the aisle.
But this time too, Jinhyeok stopped the flames with a light gesture.
[‘Plausible attribute barrier’ is activated!]
[You have achieved the second condition for the 1st job advancement!]
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
As ice and fire collided head-on, thick steam rose.
All of this was thanks to the link between the skill and the barrier, but it must have looked like the power of God itself in the eyes of Takeshi.
“Yeah…!”
“Don’t be surprised by this. Can I ask you one more question?”
“Of course. anything!”
“I came down because I was curious about the ecology of humans, but there are still a lot of things I don’t know. Tower rules are pretty annoying. No matter how divinity it is, don’t let it move recklessly. It’s probabilities and restrictions, so it suppresses its power.”
There’s nothing like bringing up a rule the other person doesn’t know about to avoid cumbersome explanations.
I have no idea.
‘How do you know that I don’t know too well?’
It’s a manga game that has collapsed in probability and balance, so the people who made this probably don’t know what they made.
So it works no matter what you throw at it.
As long as that guy believes me to be a god.
“In that sense, I’d like to ask you a favor.”
Jinhyeok brought up the main topic with a smirk.
