Episode 106. How an old person trains a pet (2)
I knew from the moment the gate opened that there would be Anubis in the palace.
As long as the ugly hair is blocked, they will try to force it.
It must have been a difficult task.
of course.
‘As long as the Law of the Tower exists. He won’t be able to lay his hands on me yet.’
Then, the only option left for Anubis is to present the opponent.
Jinhyuk’s head spun rapidly.
‘The only card that Anubis can use as an opponent is [Awakened Mummy].’
Because you won’t be able to take out a non-standard opponent against a player who hasn’t even climbed the 10th floor.
The best that can be chosen in the line of narrowly meeting the limits of the system is only that one.
Once I got to that point, the next thing was so easy.
I saw through the opponent’s hand, but it’s about making a countermeasure. Eating cold porridge.
After Jinhyeok manifests both the divine protection of the stars and the grave of the sword at the same time. Dropped the ‘Royal Blood’ purchased from the Coin Exchange.
An item that boasts the highest efficiency in dealing with mummies created to protect the pharaoh’s blood.
In other words. it’s a counter
Jinhyeok was sure.
No matter how strong the opponent is, if you use the power with the effect of the opposite.
that you can bridge the gap.
and the result.
cooong!
That’s it.
The completely dismembered mummy rolled on the floor.
Without even attempting a proper attack, he collapsed in vain.
A heavy court that dominated the inside of the palace.
After a while, the silence was broken by an exclamation full of surprise.
“This can’t be…”
“A player on the 6th floor only defeated Anubis’ opponent?”
The mouths of Horus and Osiris parted.
The result completely exceeded expectations.
Even Anubis, the party involved, was not aware of this situation yet.
“How did this…”
Anubis stuttered.
The humiliation received on the 1st floor of the Tower of Trials.
A wound that was played by the opponent’s tricks when dealing with Pendariel.
Lastly, even the anger that sold their protection against Rick.
I thought I could pay off all my debts this time.
However,
the opponent who confidently prepared is now rolling on the floor.
Standing there is an abominable human being.
“I will make sure to receive the phantom beast egg. Of course, since it’s an important item, I can choose it myself, right?”
Jinhyuk smiled brightly.
“Stop being ridiculous…!”
“Anubis! It is a promise made with your own mouth. You haven’t forgotten that, have you?”
Anubis is about to shout. Horus stood beside him.
It is a transaction made under the name of Egyptian mythology.
However, in a duel in which even the tower’s middle manager, Rick Henish, was present, the godhead himself could not accept the outcome?
That would be a laughing stock in front of all the other myths.
“Damn it…”
Anubis reluctantly stepped back.
He gritted his molars and growled, but that was all.
When things calmed down, Horus spoke again.
“Don’t keep your promise. The phantom egg is stored inside, so I’ll guide you right away. However, you cannot give another egg just because you failed to hatch or tame it, so keep that in mind.”
“of course. I didn’t expect a return or refund policy in the world of gods.”
Jinhyuk shrugged.
It’s a very innocent face.
As if the option of failing would not be put on the table at all.
‘Is this why Rick brought me here?’
Horus nodded slightly.
I wondered why Rick, who is famous for being picky among middle managers, favored that human so much.
It was only now that I began to understand his intentions little by little.
Understanding soon led to conviction.
Horus’s yellow eyes turned to Jinhyeok.
“…if it’s you, you’ll come all the way here someday.”
It is a gaze that sees through the essence.
As if looking at some point in the future.
“How is it? if that time comes Why don’t you choose one of us to be the denizens ruling this floor?”
A lightly thrown suggestion.
However, the weight of the proposal was by no means light.
“Horus!”
“Are you serious…!”
Both deities reacted violently at the same time.
It had to be.
What Horus just said. Because it meant that I would use the ‘choice’ that can only be done once on Jinhyeok.
It is admitted that cotyledons are different. There was no room for denying that.
However, it is still too weak to select forces. What does this mean for a rookie who is just starting out?
but.
“no.”
Jinhyuk opened his mouth slowly.
What a rejection!
This time, including the three deities, even Rick, who was watching, couldn’t help but be surprised.
It is because it is the first time I have seen the case of kicking the heavenly luck of the heavenly fortune by oneself.
Jinhyuk raised his head with a calm face.
It is not an endless desert.
Higher than the sky where the sun rises.
[The 50th floor of the Tower of Trials.]
The highest point of the tower.
It is the place where the last sanctuary is located that even the gods did not dare to approach.
“Sorry, but I am not here.”
I have no intention of procrastinating.
to see the end once again.
In order to once again conquer the top of the tower,
“I have to go higher than here.”
Must succeed.
among many players.
The only one who can climb this tower to the end…
Because I was the only one.
＊＊＊
The treasure house located inside the palace.
Here, the treasures collected by the Egyptian gods were piled up like a mountain.
The stone statues made of gold and colorful jewels are dazzling.
however. Jinhyuk didn’t even pay attention to them.
What I needed now was something far more valuable and important than common gold or jewels.
Right then. Rick, who was walking beside Jinhyeok, opened his mouth.
“At first, I thought I could give Jinhyeok a rare tour. Opportunities to come to the top of the tower don’t come very often.”
There was a strange bitterness on Rick’s face.
This is probably because of self-doubt.
“But rather, thanks to Jinhyeok-nim, I got to see a rare sight. I guess that’s why I don’t know what the world is like.”
The chance to see the phantom egg. It was the kind that players and even middle managers couldn’t easily catch.
This is because the top-notch ‘phantom beasts’ and ‘spiritual objects’ were difficult to deal with even for divine beings.
But to actually see it.
Rick looked at Jinhyeok with eyes filled with complex feelings.
‘This is true…’
It’s difficult to show this kind of reaction already.
How much more to be surprised in the future Should I just do this to this extent?
‘Come to think of it, in the past I was extremely attracted to this old man.’
I think it was right to say that I don’t know what the world is like.
Who knew Rick would come out with such a low profile?
Realizing the completely reversed relationship between A and B, Jinhyeok felt strange for no reason.
It was then.
“It’s here.”
Horus, who was leading the way, stopped.
the innermost part of the warehouse.
I saw a place where runes and ancient languages were spread out in layers.
Three eggs were placed on top of the golden platform.
green. red. Black color.
Eggs of different colors and shapes.
“Which one would you choose? ah! I don’t know what’s inside these eggs, so I guess there’s no need to worry.”
“Even if you know his true identity, it’s no use. No matter what you choose, unless you know how to hatch it, you won’t be able to do anything better than a stone on the side of the road.”
Anubis and Osiris uttered one word at a time.
Anyway, I’m going to have a good time.
The two guys seem to want to see me frustrated right now.
that would be fun
What could be more fun than watching your destination fail right around your corner?
‘Pray that the hundredth day will perish. It would be faster for the desert to turn into the sea.’
Jinhyeok passed the cheap provocation through one ear.
Thinking that dog sounds are also a lullaby made me feel at ease.
‘First of all, I’ll have to figure out exactly what’s inside the egg.’
Firstly. green egg.
[Lv5 ‘Eye of Gluttony’ is activated!]
[Due to the level difference, only part of the target’s information can be viewed.]
[Green Egg]
Name: Hesimius, the spirit of grass
Obtained Difficulty: SS+
Description: …healing It has this ability and can survive for about 100 days even if the supply of magical power from its owner is cut off.
Heshimius is a grass spirit that specializes in healing… well, it’s not a bad pet.
It can be used as a dedicated heal pack, so you don’t need to have a separate healer. Of course, you will be able to challenge dungeons that are higher than your own skills.
It’s just that this guy has no taste for raising.
Basically, I can’t speak, so should I say that there’s no reaction to anything?
I’ve raised this guy once before.
Rather, it was more interesting to grow weeds in the back mountain.
‘This pass.’
Efficiency is also efficiency, but at least you have to be able to grow it with affection.
It’s no fun if it’s too hard.
Jinhyeok used the skill again towards the next egg.
[Lv5 ‘Eye of Gluttony’ is activated!]
[Due to the level difference, only some information on the target can be viewed.]
[Red Egg]
Name: Fire-breathing cat ‘???’
Difficulty to obtain: SSS
Description: …using flame-type abilities…
‘The information you can see is getting smaller and smaller.’
It was an unavoidable result because the difficulty of obtaining it increased.
No matter how much luck stats and adaptive stats assist you, there is a limit.
but. Jinhyuk was able to figure out the identity of the target with only a fragmentary tinnitus.
‘If it’s a cat that vomits fire. The phantom Kiriyane.’
This is also not a bad option.
Kiriya was one of the beloved pets in the second half of the tower because she did well for one meal as an assistant dealer.
However, this guy had the downside of being too picky.
The story that cats and phantom beasts don’t even know their owners is a fact that is openly spreading among deities.
‘I have no choice but to send it this time.’
Tick-tick-tick-tick is enough with Alice alone. At least he guilded his habits in the beginning, so he became a lot calmer.
The relationship between the prickly cat and the butler, who has to cater to all sorts of wishes, is a no-brainer.
‘It would be nice if the last one could handle the downside…’
Jinhyeok’s gaze turned to the black egg.
please. Oh God.
‘I will donate steadily from tomorrow and won’t make fun of newbies.’
Jinhyeok roughly prayed to a plausible deity on top of the tower.
Then, with a steady breath, he used his ability for the last time.
[Lv5 ‘Eye of Gluttony’ is activated!]
[Due to the extreme level difference, only part of the target’s information can be viewed.]
[Black Egg]
Name: ???
Difficulty to get: ???
What: …can only be hatched in one way.
done!
Looking at the status window, Jinhyeok clenched his fists.
The thing I wanted most from a long time ago.
At the same time, the pet that I have never been able to get my hands on is sleeping right in that black egg.
