Episode 111 A Mirror That Breaks Boundaries (1)
“Mosquitoes!”
Sweet Potato, who properly filmed the magic stone eating show, stretched as if satisfied.
Its small, dainty wings and tail stretched out in a straight line.
Jinhyeok looked at the sweet potato happily.
Seriously… I hope this guy eats to his heart’s content and grows up well.
‘Anyway, the magic crystal here wasn’t mine either.’
okay. The most important thing is this.
Growing up with someone else’s precious property is the most thrilling thing. It is not a waste even if you scrape the rice bowl whole and eat it.
‘Then, shall we see how much our sweet potatoes have grown?’
Jinhyeok checked the sweet potato status window using the ‘Eye of Gluttony’.
[Due to the level difference, the target’s status window cannot be checked.]
Of course, this message came out.
Does not matter.
Because sweet potatoes were not simply treated as strangers.
[Due to the relationship between ‘owner’ and ‘pet’, the level difference is ignored.]
[Sweet Potato]
Species: Ancient Species
Age: 1
Level: 98
Strength 105 Agility 98 Stamina 90 HP 192
Lv1 ‘Acid Spit’ Lv1 ‘Feast Time’ Lv1 ‘Acid Breath’ Lv1 ‘Flight’ Lv1 ‘Fear’
Characteristics: When the ancient species battle, the master’s magic is also consumed. Normal combat requires 5 horsepower per minute, and intense combat requires 15 horsepower per minute.
[Experience distribution is supported in two ways. In other words, for the same monster, both the owner and the pet can each gain experience points.]
Although he was strong from birth. Sweet Potato, which consumed 35,000 Magic Stones by storm, boasted absurd magical power.
This is a skill that approaches Hetzling from level 1.
‘It’s strong though. Instead, it would take a lot of mana consumption to fight.’
Jinhyeok’s current magic power is 80.
If he mobilizes sweet potatoes into battle, he could only last about 5 minutes.
‘Even this, if I fight together, that time will be much shorter.’
You might want to think of it as a hidden card that you can only pull out if you really need it. I didn’t think a crisis that close to that level would come
anyway.
Right then.
rattle!
The door opened and a familiar middle-aged man entered.
It was Kang Byung-chan.
“What the hell happened to this…”
Seeing that the smiley face had completely turned into a grin.
hmm. What can I say?
It seems a bit pitiful… that’s an asshole.
Would the cider go down your esophagus and make your throat sting?
It felt like the resentment accumulated while living as a BJ was washed away in an instant.
“The Magic Stone. Did you use all of them? It is a lie. haha. this can’t be real ha ha ha. okay. I am still in bed and this must be a dream.”
Did you say that people deny reality when they are too shocked?
Kang Byung-chan laughed as if he had lost his mind.
But does he know?
The fact that this nightmare is not the end, it is only the beginning.
Jinhyeok approached Kang Byungchan.
“It’s a bit like fanning a house on fire, but… I’m going to have to get some compensation for the unfair contract I had with Lee Jong-soo.”
“what…? Compensation for blood damage. What are you talking about?”
What are you talking about?
“This is obviously just paid for. Compensation for the damage you did in the past is another matter.”
If you commit two sins. Compensation should be of two types.
Where do you want to get together?
Haven’t you ever heard of a special case?
“Couldn’t it be… are you saying it’s not enough even after taking everything? You devil! Are you even human? ok? Are you human!”
“If it’s something to be humiliated to pay back as it was. that curse. I can eat anything. Aren’t you in a position to shout loudly right now?”
Jinhyeok’s eyebrows curled into a reverse shape.
At the same time, cold magic began to flow out.
It is the magic possessed by an S-class player.
like the general public.
It’s only natural that I can’t stand it even for a moment.
“Kuhhh…”
Only then did Kang Byung-chan realize the meaning of what he said.
I was in such a panic that I didn’t dare to say anything.
It was recognized that the target was a monster that even the state could not touch.
“I think my brain has become softer from listening to the flattery from the people below… Let’s not forget. Who is holding the hilt now?”
After speaking, Jinhyeok activated the ‘broadcasting system’.
There was a recorded video of the conversation the two had last night.
Of course you can press it with force.
They even tie it up as evidence.
From Kang Byung-chan’s point of view, he was completely cornered.
“If anyone thought nonsense. You’ll see it on the 9 o’clock news. It’s the tyranny of journalists exploiting powerless individual broadcasters. If this coincides with the election season, don’t you think that candidates for the National Assembly who are conscious of public opinion will flock like bees?”
When the political world was even mentioned, Kang Byung-chan’s face became contemplative.
Maybe it’s because I didn’t expect it to come this far.
“Please… that’s all! Absolutely not. I never.”
“ah. Do not worry. Your secret will be safe. If only he behaves compliantly.”
If you become a gentle retriever, you will be able to maintain a good relationship.
But if you’re a fucking beagle or schnauzer, the lost magic stone will make it look like child’s play.
“…”
Startled. Kang Byun-chan’s body trembled slightly.
It must be because he realized that what Jinhyeok said just now was not a simple threat.
“All right.”
Kang Byungchan nodded slowly.
good.
With this, another useful chess piece was obtained.
***
The 6th floor of the Tower of Trials.
Jinhyeok took out the ‘mirror that breaks down boundaries’ from the subspace inventory.
It was because there was one last thing to do before meeting Sylvia and participating in the elven festival.
“…He said he would teach you how to train to become stronger. Was it this?”
Chun Yoo-seong looked at Jin-hyeok and the mirror with a puzzled face.
A helper called to handle various chores (?) in this raid.
If it’s a swordsman, it can be used with a hand that doesn’t get in the way.
Of course, I packed the words appropriately considering the guy’s personality.
If you follow me, I will teach you how to become stronger with attributes in a short period of time.
“why? If you drink some air from above, you can grow up at once. If you use this mirror…”
“I know roughly what this is. You get your hands on really outrageous items.”
“I had some luck and I did.”
“Luckily… Well, let’s leave that out. Rather, why do you need my help to clear the upper floors of the tower? Would you be enough alone?”
“huh?”
Jinhyeok flinched at the words that stabbed him.
In fact, if you go to the boss using this kind of expedient. Additional named monsters appear.
Those guys were filthy tricky to deal with on a subject that had no nutritional value whatsoever.
That’s why I tried to make Chun Yoo-seong moderately fit.
this guy Surprisingly, the borderline is clear.
Maybe. After fighting more than 100 times, it seems that even the notice has become faster.
“Hmm. what is it. I care about you, think of you, and take care of you. At that time, there were very few players who climbed the tower together, right? I also had a relationship at the time, so let’s do well together. That’s what it means.”
Jinhyeok made a lengthy excuse.
He moderately cheered him up, soothed him, and shook his opponent’s heart.
“…”
However, Chun Yoo-seong still had a face of disbelief.
shit. Anyway, I don’t like this quick-witted kid.
Jinhyeok quickly changed the topic.
“ah. Before I go, there’s one thing I want to tell you, because I slightly hid my identity and promoted. I thought I should tell you before we start. Actually…”
“I already know that Unknown is you.”
Chun Yoo-seong cut off his words and intervened.
Confidence felt in assertive tone.
Chun Yoo-seong nailed Jin-hyeok and Unknown on the same line.
“Even if I edit it, I can’t fake your unique movements. No one else knows, but at least I knew from the beginning.”
“…was it?”
“Because it didn’t make sense that there was a player who could compete just like you. Besides, just looking at her overflowing with middle school two, I couldn’t think of anyone other than you.”
Mmm.
The last line took a while, but it’s unexpected.
This leech-like guy knows how to accept everyone else.
“As I live, the time will come when I will hear all those words from you.”
“Don’t be mistaken. I admit you’re amazing, but in the end, I’m the one who gets over it in the end.”
What did you expect from this battle mania?
In the end, the ending where knives collide is everything.
“Yeah… I was a fool for being touched for a while. you idiot.”
Jinhyuk shook his head and turned around.
Small talk is enough.
Now it’s time to move on to a new layer.
‘I finally get to use this.’
Jinhyuk raised his head.
That high place in the tower that can never be seen from the 6th floor.
If it is a ‘mirror that breaks down boundaries’ that has been judged as an overrank grade, it will allow you to go to the 10th floor at once.
pounding! pounding! pounding!
My heart started beating fast.
still not growing yet. It’s not because I’m afraid to go to the 10th floor.
still not growing yet. It was because I was very excited about being able to go to a place with a high level of difficulty.
‘It’ll be fun in a while.’
You can stay on the upper floor for only 30 minutes.
But that’s enough.
not enough
30 minutes for the deceased was the same as 30 days for ordinary players.
Jinhyeok injected magic into a mirror the size of his palm.
Then right at that moment.
Whoops!
[The mirror that breaks down the boundaries is activated!]
[The target is player Kang Jin-hyeok and one other person (player Chun You-seong).]
The surface of the mirror rapidly expanded and quickly transformed into a huge gate.
It’s like… a similar feeling to the gate that Rick opened.
‘Well, this is probably an item that can interfere with the causal rate.’
The gate that allows you to go to the 40th floor and the gate right in front of you are absurd.
“Hoo. Is it like this? With magic this strong, it is certainly possible to jump over the floors of the tower.”
Chun Yuseong’s eyes narrowed.
“So what floor are we going to?”
Why are you asking the obvious?
Jinhyuk slowly opened his mouth.
“Open the 10th floor.”
Among the 6th to 10th floors, I chose the highest one I could go to.
The place where the boss monster with the [invincible] ability is located.
[The gate is activated.]
[The road to the 10th floor ‘Warrior’s Sanctuary’ opens.]
I thought the surface of the gate was shaking. soon calmed down
“It’s really your choice.”
Chun Youseong laughed.
And I stretched my feet towards the gate.
