Episode 137. ‘Frost Blade’ tribe (3)
“You… what now? rubbish? Look at me and call me trash!”
Jang Eun-seok was the flagship.
Power went into the dagger he was holding in his hand.
The blood that dripped drop by drop from the troll’s neck grew stronger.
“…!”
Caracal flinched, but only for a moment.
Rather, his pupils trembled slightly as he watched Jinhyeok calmly walk forward.
They felt curiosity and interest in people who stood up for themselves.
that buck
Jinhyeok walked a little further.
“There! Don’t come any closer! If so…”
“If so what? Are you going to kill him?”
“why? Do you think I don’t have the guts to do that? If you put your mind to it, you can have one kid like this…!”
“No, I don’t mean that. What are you going to do after killing that kid? I was curious about that, so I said it.”
All the players of the Dangun Guild fell into a situation where they could not fight.
It is a difficult situation to even control the body due to large and small injuries.
If the only hostage is killed, will Jang Eun-seok be able to get out of here alive?
Well…
that’s going to be tough.
“In that case, I will get out of here with this guy. okay! If you get me out of here safely, then I will release this guy.”
“What about the engineering crew? It doesn’t look easy to move, but can we all get out?”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t help it. Shouldn’t even a person who lives have to live? At least I’ll be able to escape as long as I’m alone.”
Did he really intend to run away alone?
however.
“No, it’s already too late for that.”
Jinhyuk shook his head.
Also the role of a natural tanker.
A multiplayer player who can also play the role of a decent dealer.
Jang Eun-seok was a card that could be used at any time and hit flat.
‘However, it has the downside of having a strong ego and easily losing one’s temper.’
Originally, he is a person who should never be entrusted with the engineering chief.
No matter how urgent the situation, it was because the engineering chief was the one who had to make a cool decision.
Of course, Jang Eun-seok took on such an important position for a reason.
The ‘real’ raiding party, which can be said to be the main force of the Dangun Guild, was attacking a place other than here.
much higher risk. And the ruins that only a few people know about.
A kind of hidden route?
As a group of deceased figures in their own way, Dangun also found another way to attack the 7th floor.
‘Officially, Jang Eun-seok was given a high praise as if he was carrying Dangun’s future, but in reality, it was just a screen to deceive the eyes of other guilds.’
It’s obvious, but no matter how hard they try to hide it, it’s useless.
Because Jinhyeok had already read that number.
‘It’s the main raid of the Dangun Guild. It’s enough to think slowly…’
Right now, the priority is to deal with this guy.
Jinhyuk slowly extended his left hand forward.
The index finger and thumb met.
Correspondingly, Jang Eun-seok lowered his posture.
I don’t know what Jinhyeok is trying to do, but if you use the troll as a shield, you’ll be safe. Jang Eun-seok was so sure.
Right then.
Fuck!
A light sound came from his fingers.
But nothing happened.
There was no sign of a skill being activated, let alone a unique ability.
“Ha…was it an insignificant bluff?”
A voice mixed with relief and ridicule escaped Jang Eun-seok’s mouth.
Between the trolls, something was simmering.
Four legs and a plump tail swayed from side to side.
A reptile with black scales and yellow eyes.
It was sweet potato.
As if waiting for Jinhyeok’s signal, a tremendous amount of magical power was released from Sweet Potato’s body.
“mosquito!!”
[Sweet Potato uses Lv2 ‘Pier’!]
Loud atmosphere.
The ‘peer’ of an ancient species has taken over the entire space.
Not only the trolls who occupied the freshwater lake while hunting large monsters, but even the caracal who led them must have felt a bit of fear.
There was no room for Jang Eun-seok and the like to remain sane.
It was evident that the dagger had lost its strength.
Took!
Jinhyuk moved.
lightly. and then fast.
The body that passed over the snow reached Jang Jang-seok’s nose.
“omg!”
Jang Jang-seok reacted a step late, but it was already too late.
Too late, too late
“If you hadn’t done these things, it wouldn’t have come this far.”
This is sincere.
If I hadn’t crossed the line, I would have finished on a moderately rolling line.
end with that.
The twin dragon swords drawn from the subspace inventory crossed horizontally.
The severed right arm spun in the air along with a long blood stream.
“Quaaaaaagh! my arm! My arm sucks!”
Jang Eun-seok let out a scream filled with pain.
He rolled over in the snow, clutching the wound, but he didn’t feel the slightest bit of sympathy.
A coward who abandoned all the injured members of the engineering team and tried to live alone.
Garbage that believes that anyone can sacrifice it in order to live.
That’s why, rather, one arm was eaten cheaply for the price of causation and retribution.
‘There’s no need to finish it.’
More than they threatened their cubs. After all, the ice trolls won’t stay still.
***
“…Amazing.”
An earthquake occurred in Caracal’s pupil.
I thought he was a typical human being when he first attacked with a large number of people who had betrayed his honor.
He’s such a dirty and mean person.
However, Caracal couldn’t help but be surprised to see him perfectly commanding and putting pressure on humans.
There’s a move I just showed you.
‘…The speed of narrowing the distance is amazing, but the speed of swinging the sword is completely different.’
The person called Jang Eun-seok was by no means weak.
Although his actions were cowardly, it was possible because he was backed up by his skills to break through the warriors in an instant and take the hostages behind them.
But to subdue such a formidable guy with just one shot.
It was an unbelievable sight to see.
It was so neat that the feet were still stepped on in my eyes.
If…
even if the opponent standing there was himself, would he have been able to respond to that attack?
What is the probability of counterattack after blocking?
As the thought continued, Caracal’s heart began to beat little by little faster.
pounding! pounding! pounding!
If you’re that strong of a human being…
maybe it’s possible.
Exploiting the clan. To those who trampled on honor… Maybe we can give it a shot.
to check that possibility.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
Caracal released his magic.
***
In order to gain Caracal’s recognition, you must somehow make him fight with all his might.
That was how the Mu-worshipping Frostblade tribe recognized other races.
‘As expected.’
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth went up.
Originally, I was going to use a different method than cutting Jang Eun-seok….
As a result, this episode became a more plausible stage.
Using the ‘sympathy’ ability to ease the opponent’s vigilance must have played a role in creating this kind of board.
Then…
Jinhyeok used the ‘Eye of Gluttony’.
[Name: Caracal]
Race: Ice Troll
Age: ? (Unknown reason, not unlocked)
Level: 82
Strength 30 Agility 28 Stamina 30 Magical 35 Hero 45
Unique Ability: ‘White Beast’
Skill: Lv14 ‘King’s Path’ ‘ Lv13 ‘Acceleration’ Lv13 ‘Standard Heart’ Lv12 ‘Excellent Regeneration’
Characteristics: Caracal is the chieftain of the ‘Frost Blade’ tribe, who is considered to be the strongest ever. A tribe of trolls who are exploited and persecuted by the strong in the tower. Caracal is ready to give his life to break that bondage. Because they are a race that knows honor and pride, they will never betray you once you have a relationship with them.
[Copy conditions]
To be recognized by trolls, you must pass two conditions.
1. Win the showdown against Caracal.
2. Don’t lose your mind at the drinking party with the Frostblade clan.
If both conditions are met, you will be able to select and copy one of Caracal’s unique abilities and skills.
This time, something out of common sense was subtly mixed in.
‘Yeah, I’m used to it now.’
Rather, I might have been disappointed if only the first condition came out. To that extent, Jinhyeok was already accustomed to the insane demands of the system.
Now, as long as you have checked the copying conditions, there is nothing to shy away from.
“If it’s Ilgito, I quite like it.”
Be honest. It was not to my liking to lead a large group of people in a raid like before.
As expected, it’s best to battle alone without anyone interfering.
Jinhyeok also released his magic to match the opponent.
[The unique ability ‘Grave of the Sword’ is manifested!]
Riding the sword.
Roaring!
The dark red aura formed a form.
“indeed!”
A big smile appeared on Karakal’s lips.
this spirit.
This feeling…!
Undoubtedly. The person called Kang Jin-hyeok is strong.
The moment I thought so.
They both brandished their weapons at each other.
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah!
All the snow piled up on the floor was scattered. A spear with the ability to twist the laws of physics pierced the blizzard.
The natural environment that makes everything blind.
Even so.
Jinhyeok predicted the trajectory through the subtle shaking of the snowflakes.
Boooooong!
A spear crossed the air.
The spear blade grazed right next to Jinhyeok’s neck.
“A spear that ignores defense… It’s definitely quite interesting.”
Jinhyeok gently put his cheek on the edge of the spear.
hey It’s cool to the touch.
but.
Whether it’s the ability to ignore defenses or the ability to spread poison all over your body if you even brush it.
All. If you just avoid it all, that’s all.
In fact, some of the deceased even threw away their armor and walked around naked.
“Funny! But I didn’t reveal all my money either!”
with those words. Caracal’s spear began to vibrate at high speed.
Woo woo woo!
An optical illusion occurred as if dozens of windows were overlapped into one.
Are you finally going to use it?
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
at the same time.
[Caracal activates his unique ability ‘White Beast’!]
A gust of wind rose over the snow on the ground.
It’s a start.
hooked!
It coincided with Jinhyeok throwing his body to the side.
Spikes made of snow rose from the ground.
If he was even a little late, his whole body, along with his feet, would have been pierced with skewers.
hooked! hooked! hooked!
In an instant, thorns sprouted one after another.
Jinhyeok fluttered like a flying squirrel.
“Haaaap!”
Anticipating where Jinhyeok would finally step, Caracal threw a spear at him, but Jinhyeok avoided even that.
A spear half stuck in the snow trembled.
“To react leisurely to this. Seriously… I’m surprised to see it again. okay. This is the kind of person I expect.”
Caracal let out an exclamation.
Normally, I would have been hit without even reacting to this surprise attack.
Even when he first dealt with the Decassus clan, Bertion and Ophelia, the two clans also allowed this attack.
Even though…
‘Even if it didn’t work for that last guy.’
Expectations are getting higher and higher.
At least there was a high probability that he had skills similar to that monster.
No maybe…
then.
A smile crept across Jinhyeok’s lips.
“Me too.”
“what?”
“I would have been disappointed if I couldn’t do even this much, but I can give you a passing grade just on the edge.”
It is a power that can be fully utilized as a long-term horse.
So it’s okay to talk about the conditions soon.
Jinhyuk opened his mouth.
OK.
“…How could you do that?”
An earthquake occurred in the pupil of Caracal.
It had to be.
Because what Jinhyeok said just now was something outsiders outside the clan could never know.
